Affiliate Commission Checks
Posted by: | CommentsAs an outsourced program manager (OPM) to nearly 20 affiliate programs, my team gets to help hundreds of affiliates cash their affiliate commission checks every month. It’s very rewarding to hear about affiliates earning their first commissions as we have with the Flirty Aprons and Polka Dot Design programs this year. Even if they only earn $100, it’s still a secondary source of income for many of them and that was their goal. I also love seeing affiliates earn performance incentives up to $5,000 because they are the best at what they do. But it never really hits you unless you are earning your own affiliate commissions and you feel part of the industry.
Chris and I don’t promote affiliate links on any of the programs we manage because we don’t cross that line. But we are still in the trenches as affiliates learning the best ways to promote programs. We dabble in SEO and SEM as a way to stay fresh and keep the creative juices flowing to help our affiliates. This industry of performance marketing is evolving and we don’t want to get left behind. That’s one reason why I’m taking on some of the programs in the middle of mobile marketing. I still say it’s where we are headed. The iphone and the Droid X are taking us whether we like it or not.
So don’t be surprised if you see affiliate links on here, they will be clearly marked in the tags. Like the one below…

Affiliate Management Discount
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s an offer you can’t refuse. Any merchants I meet at Affiliate Summit West (ASW10) this weekend will get a 50% discount on the first month of affiliate management and recruiting from Greg Hoffman Consulting.
Also, anyone that gives me a referral for affiliate management during ASW10 will get a 20% commission from the first month’s full retainer. I would love to start working with a coffee affiliate program again and if you happen to find the next greatest Flirty Apron merchant, I will reward you handsomely. I’m currently managing programs in ShareASale, Commission Junction and Pepperjam. I have room for more and I can expand quickly if need be, I have an affiliate manager standing by on Skype.
I’ve got my dragon poken from PokenZoo and 250 new business cards from Easy Card Designer and I’m not afraid to use them! Here is a link to my schedule at ASW10.

Do You Poken at Affiliate Summit?
Posted by: | Comments
Did you pick up your poken after the last Affiliate Summit because you missed out on all the fun? Maybe you still haven’t purchased the right poken for you. I have a deal for affiliates attending Affiliate Summit West 2010. My client, PokenZoo.com on ShareASale, is offering a free poken to select affiliates that write about using poken at industry shows and networking events. Tell us why you need a poken and we can arrange to have one shipped to you before the Summit in Vegas.
This is only open to affiliates approved in the Poken Zoo ShareASale program and have confirmed they are attending Affiliate Summit West 2010. But wait, there’s more….If you sell 5 poken from that unique post before January 15, I’ll give you a $25 bonus when you track me down at Affiliate Summit and show me your poken. You can probably find me at the Blogger’s Lounge. I’ll be blogging and tweeting from anywhere I can find a seat.
As an added bonus, any affiliate that exchanges poken info with me, will receive a 1-2% commission bump on any of my managed programs in ShareASale. I’d also like to hear suggestions on where all of us poken users can have a flash mob poken party during Affiliate Summit. Leave your comments.
