Affiliate Movie of the Week : Pay It Foward

“Like some other kids, 12-year-old Trevor McKinney believed in the goodness of human nature. Like many other kids, he was determined to change the world for the better. Unlike most other kids, he succeeded.“( imdb.com )

Yes… I am being serious. This is my Affiliate Movie of the week. I was up at about 4 a.m. this morning and this movie came on showtime. I watched it because I hadn’t seen it in a while and Helen Hunt was strangely attractive as an ex-drunk single mother (don’t ask). As I was sitting in bed fighting off sleep deprivation, I for some reason thought of affiliate marketing and making money in general. It was because of the boys Idea to change the world by doing 3 nice things for three random people then have those people do three nice things for three random people. This trend would go on and on until the world has been changed by good deed, theoretically.

You might be asking where I am going with this or you have already figure it out. The Tier System people. Yep referral programs at their most complex. You refer someone to something and earn a percentage, then the people that person refers earns you a smaller percentage. It works in levels and each level will bring you money at a lower price than the previous. This is kind of cool if you can get it rolling and get people to sign up that are interested in getting other people to sign up as well. It will only work to your advantage if you can get dedicated people to sign up and follow through. So, don’t tell your buddies to sign up and leave it to die. It might be some extra commision for you, but nothing to make a living off of unless you find a quality program and you have a great avenue to get people to sign up. Otherwise you can send your referral link out and just hop it catches on.

In conclusion, you should watch Pay it Forward. its a pretty decent movie and you might even shed a tear at the end. But while you are snuggled up on the couch alone with you ice cream and Victoria Secret magazines (because you like the articles,right?), pay attention to what is going on and you will see that his method can apply to you and your marketing journey.

Good People… Good Company: AdvantageCPA

Okay, so i think I am ready to write my first entry about CPA marketing. I am picking this particular topic because it’s recent to me and I think that others will benefit from knowing about this company. I am talking about AdvantageCPA. This is my 3rd company that I have joined for affiliate marketing, but the first company that has actually tried to make me money rather than shove meaningless leads down my throat with no guidance. So, far I have been off on and with some of my methods in some months. One month ill make 65 bucks and the next I will make 5 bucks. This is to be expected since I am just starting. What I have Liked about AdvantageCPA is that I have been given some building blocks to start promising campaigns that can earn money in time. My Account Manager, Brandon Hall, has to be the calmest person I have ever met. I really don’t know how he has put up with me and my non stop IMs on AIM. I think he handles it so well due to the fact he ignores most of them, but he’s busy. ONLY KIDDING, I know he will be reading this and that would get his blood going a little bit. Truth is that I talk to the guy daily and have recently started to have webcam conferences with him via Skype. I suggest noobs, like me, to join AdvantageCPA for the sole purpose of learning. They know that if you make money then so do they. This is nice because they teach you and give you advice. Bigger companies don’t take the time, and why would they when they have to kiss up to the 5k a day CPA Pros.

This world of Affiliate Marketing can be dirty. People don’t share and if they do they don’t tell the whole story in order to satisfy but keep their money making secrets. Trust is a hard thing to come by and that is really the main reason why I am writing about AdvantageCPA today. A few weeks ago I decided I would go to BlackHatWorld.com Forums and tell people about my experience with AdvantageCPA. Within the first day I had 19 people sign up to this Affiliate Company. Brandon saw what I wrote to members and how I responded to questions about the company. Since Brandon and I have been talking for a while he knew that I played Madden on X-Box 360. As a present for doing a good job and saying nice things about the company without being put up to do it, he sent me the NEW Madden 10 video game. I think this is pretty cool because he didn’t have to send me anything and I could have just been happy with my 4% per month referral percentage FOR LIFE. This type of thing builds trust and truly makes me want to make more money.
