Mobile Newsletter Contest
Posted by: | CommentsBig prizes every month for subscribing – Read more…
Through my relationship with TextMarks.com, I have started a mobile newsletter for fans of Greg Hoffman Consulting and anyone interested in mobile marketing and I plan to bribe you to join!
Mobile is the future of affiliate marketing in some shape or another. If you aren’t interested in text alerts because of your limited phone plan, I understand but if you already text your friends regularly, look at this type of alert as opt-in only, non-intrusive and used sparingly. The GHC Mobile newsletter will consist of 160-character updates on new clients and new deals to affiliates in my managed programs. I will no longer be building an email list and sending out a monthly html newsletter.
Today, I rolled out mobile marketing campaigns for my clients. They will be using the service to communicate their own messages to customers that opt-in to their group alerts. These campaigns will not be affiliate specific but it will compliment their ongoing internet marketing efforts. I’m happy to bring this value added service to them on behalf of GHC.
Subscribing to a text alert is easy and unsubscribing is even easier. This is an opt-in list only and there are no costs to join, ever. You can text the word akagorilla to 41411, you can click here or you enter your number in the widget below:
Did I mention there would be prizes? Oh yeah! Every 4-6 weeks, I will announce a new prize for anyone subscribed to my mobile alerts. Prizes will most likely be from my managed clients, such as Flirty Aprons, PokenZoo or Nanodots.
My first giveaway will be March 31. I will call the winner at random from the list and ship out the prize asap.
March winner will receive two prizes:
1. I will manage a text alert just for your company. Let’s test mobile marketing together. One keyword, no ads with nearly unlimited texts per month.
2. A very rare Poken, the Blue Gorilla. How cool is it to win the blue gorilla poken from the Marketing Gorilla?

Leprechaun Poken has Arrived
Posted by: | CommentsThe tall tale of the Irish Fairies has been brought to life as a poken, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. The new Leprechaun poken is now available at PokenZoo, the #1 Poken vendor in the U.S. But as you know in the legend, leprechauns can vanish in an instant and PokenZoo has a limited number available. This will be a collector’s item for many so make sure you purchase one today.
The PokenZoo affiliate program in ShareASale is doing very well. Affiliates are earning an average of $7.49 per click this week.
What is a poken you ask? When you meet other Poken owners in the real world, quickly swap information. No more writing down email addresses or long blog names. Just touch Pokens and connect. Poken holds your contact information: name, address, email, mobile phone, and the rest, and it also holds your social networking account names. Poken contains your FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn and other accounts.
TextMarks Launches Affiliate Program for Group Text Messaging
Posted by: | CommentsTextMarks, provider of group text messaging services for consumers as well as a text messaging application platform for organizations and websites, announced the launch of its mobile marketing affiliate program through ShareASale.
Group text messaging services like TextMarks provide a timely and highly responsive marketing solution to reach the over 234 million US subscribers with mobile phones. According to comScore, over 2/3rds of US mobile phone subscribers used text messaging in December 2009 alone, or 147 million consumers. “TextMarks enables anyone with a mobile phone and a message to promote to launch an effective mobile marketing campaign within minutes,” says TextMarks CEO Ariel Poler, a seasoned Internet start-up veteran and founder and CEO of both IPRO and Topica.
TextMarks was launched in 2007 and is currently profitable, with thousands of customers who subscribe to either the TextMarks monthly group messaging plans that start as low as $9.95 or a free, unlimited text messaging plan that is ad-supported. Anyone with a mobile phone number can create a custom TextMarks keyword to build a mobile subscriber list, broadcast alerts, chat via group texts, coordinate events, provide information, and much more. TextMarks works on all major US wireless networks.
Users simply text your keyword to mobile shortcode 41411 and are instantly subscribed to your group mobile alerts. TextMarks customers include everyone from large marketing agencies to small business owners, as well as teachers, coaches, religious organizers, entertainment promoters, and even restaurants such as pizza delivery places. TextMarks customer and small business owner Nick Ramirez of Things That Glow.com sings the service’s praises, “TextMarks’ group text messaging service has been the most powerful and effective marketing tool I have ever used.”
Text messaging campaigns are more powerful in generating an immediate response and timely conversion to a sale or a phone call to your business because they are read almost instantly upon receipt, whereas users are so flooded with emails from every source that it’s harder to reach an audience via email now – the message is often ignored. Because all subscribers opt-in to the group mobile lists that are powered by the TextMarks mobile platform, the response rates for our TextMarks list owners is very high.
TextMarks clients get customers to join their mobile lists in creative ways, including advertising on billboard and print ads, tv and radio commercials, email, as well as social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Do a search for “41411″ on Twitter and you’ll see hundreds of posts promoting mobile lists that are powered by TextMarks, thanks in part to the service’s auto-post feature, which allows any text message sent out through TextMarks to automatically appear on Twitter and Facebook.
TextMarks has relationships with over 1500 developers who are using the TextMarks SMS API to easily send and receive text messages via their web site or application. Any developer can use the TextMarks Mobile Application Services Platform in addition to becoming a TextMarks affiliate to make money by integrating text messaging into their clients’ web sites and applications.
The TextMarks affiliate program offers website publishers and developers a highly lucrative 80% commission on the first month’s sale, along with a 120 day tracking cookie. TextMarks provides ongoing marketing support to affiliates via its dedicated Affiliate Manager as well as mobile marketing alerts targeted to help affiliates be successful, available by texting the keyword “AFFILIATES” to 41411. For additional information on TextMarks’ affiliate program, please visit the TextMarks site or sign up at ShareASale.
