Hey Shawn - thanks so much for the plug. The affiliate program was a long time in the making and I’m very pleased that it was so heavily requested. Many thanks!
Revolution WordPress Theme Affiliate Program →
I just read on Brian Gardner’s blog that he has launched an affiliate program for his Revolution WordPress themes.
There are tons of WordPress themes that can be had for free (like the one I’m using), but Brian’s Revolution themes are just a whole different level of quality.
He is paying out 25% and has a few different options for WordPress users to purchase:

Which are the best affiliate networks for luxury fashion retail?
I’m not sure if you’ve seen many of my other videos, but I’m not really in tune with luxury fashion.
That said, from my perspective, it seems as though the fashion brands are spread around the various affiliate networks, depending on which country you are in.
I see from your IP address that you are in Spain, so I am not sure if...

I do about a 200 to 300 % roi on my ppc affiliate spending so I know these guys are doign good too.
I ran shoemoneys numbers one time and estimated that at ONE TIME, he was doing a profit of 1200% with an 120,000 investment of ppc spending.
Thats why longtail is so important, it lowers your cost for ppc.

Comment on Affiliates With No Overhead, S.eriously... →
Of course a lot of advertising cost was spent to make the kind of revenue…but the point was yeah to make some porn for newer affiliates to look at. Even if some of those checks broke even, the numbers are still something to look up to and shows them the potential the internet has.
Plus the site was made for fun, not any educational value.
Comment on Affiliates With No Overhead, S.eriously... →
Yeah, you have to take those screenshots with many grains of salt. Paul (who created s.eriously.com) mentioned himself in a videoblog post that he’d continue advertising even if the profit was around 0% because the points/cashback he’d be earning on his credit card would still make it worthwhile. And he has also mentioned that he racked up a few hundred thousand reward points on one of his cards...

no way dude, net and gross are the same thing with affiliate marketing
Comment on Affiliates With No Overhead, S.eriously... →
Amen, Shawn!
There is a HUGE difference between gross and net profits! Now if they were making this kind of money on organic traffic alone, we would be really impressed.
Otherwise, until we see net profit figures, so what!

I have to say, I’ve been a little frustrated with the CJ interface as well, especially concerning reports. I couldn’t figure out why you had to drill down three or four steps just to get a list of yesterdays sales.
This tip is great. Anyone have any tips on reports they put together? I feel like going bookmark crazy…
Thanks!

Great article. I think that if you can categorize and appeal to the affiliate, you stand a chance of eventually getting inactive affiliates to earn revenue (who may have been interested casually), but in all actuality, its a much better game to dedicate time and energy working with people who are at least putting up the creative and driving traffic.

Hi Anne -
The benefit for you, in addition to the cash from us, is the affiliate revenue you can earn.
So the videos should be of something you can promote through an affiliate program.

Implementation is the only part where they still fall short. I talked more than once already with various people and managers at CJ and provided detailed feedback and suggestions with explaining the whys and how etc. (very specific stuff).

Can it be ANY product at all? For an example, what if I really, really like Campbell’s Chunky Soup (which can be bought on Amazon)? Can I review something that, if I make a good video? Or are there any types of products that you definitely don’t want and won’t pay for?

Comment on MLM to Affiliate Marketing by Shawn... →
Thanks Mark - yes, there are definitely lots of legitimate examples of MLM.
My point was just that it could be a liability for a prospective employee at some companies.
Affiliate marting certainly has it’s detractors, due to the behavior of some bad actors, but I don’t think it’s in the same league as MLM.
I think MLM, and I could be wrong for sure, is seen as something of a pejorative by...

Shawn,
While there are many in the world who do have negative connotations attached to MLM, unfortunately, the same can be said of affiliate marketers. There are many in the world of advertising (and outside) who consider “affiliate marketing” to be a dirty business filled with spammers and criminals. However, as both you and I know, affiliate marketing is clean or dirty based upon the marketer,...
