What happened to Affiliate Blogs?

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 05:22 AM PST

Post image for What happened to Affiliate Blogs?

4-5 Years ago there was a ton of GREAT affiliate blogs. AND a ton of great forums for affiliates.

All of these places shared some great content.

This blog has never really been a affiliate blog or anything more than about me. I also used to give a ton of information on here. Lots of step by step walk throughs. I will occasionally throw out some easy ways to make money but its more of a hobby for me.

successful-affiliate-website-or-blogForums like DigitalPoint and Wickedfire used to be a huge hotbed for valuable information… But I think people got tiered of all the wannabes and shit talkers.

When people ask me where the best information is right now I direct them to either my free training course which is somewhat outdated OR the ImGrind forums (pay).

The best blogs right now that I read are Charles Ngo and John Chow (I know I can’t believe I am saying that).

Know of any great blogs for affiliates?

Holiday Deal Arbitrage

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 09:53 AM PST

Post image for Holiday Deal Arbitrage

holiday-sale-2010Ive talked about this before but right now is a huge opportunity to make quick cash buying flash sales from online deals websites and then reselling them locally or hold and sell on eBay.  A short time ago I bought 4TB hard drives by themselves for like $180.

Now its year end I am blowing cash on shit we need for the upcoming year.  So I decided to fill our backup/file/media server to capacity with drives.

I set up a deal alert for keywords on Slickdeals.com for “4TB and 4 TB (with space) and immediately I got an email alerting me to a new deal about buy.com’s eBay sale that had external usb 3.0 enclosed drives for $109.  I researched the internal drive and it happened to be the exact same model and serial series as the ones we paid $70 more for.

These currently sell at best buy for $189.

Here is the kicker.  I purchased 2 more than we need.  So I had our intern put them on our local facebook buy/sell/trade group and people bid against each other and it ended up selling for $300 for both.  Bam instant profit.  I made $80 accidently.  Big opportunity here.

Its not just during the holidays but thats when the big opportunity is.

The new Gmail changes, Why they did it, and what they mean to email marketers

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:15 AM PST

Post image for The new Gmail changes, Why they did it,  and what they mean to email marketers

If you are a Gmail user you have probably gotten the popup upon login that images are now enabled by default. This coincides with Gmail announcing a couple of weeks ago that they will be caching and serving the images from their CDN to speed up browsing email.

google images warning

 

You also have a option to disable this in your settings to go back to the “Ask me before displaying” just like the old Gmail setup.


default switch

Personally, I feel this is a new spam signal that Gmail will use to adjust their already great spam detection system.

The biggest single problem that Gmail has with spam is mass mailers (spammers)  is using 100% images that contain keywords that would be flagged as spam.  I am guessing they are trying to OCR (optical character recognition) but that is a monster in itself.

Also these spammers get around easy detection systems by sending from a slew of different IP addresses,  subject lines,  alt tags for images, and other items.

By caching these images Gmail can now use that as a signal when enough people report the email as spam and either not display the image,  flag all emails with that image as spam,  or even replace the image with a “this is spam” or something.

Many people have written various theories on this but only time will tell how its going to be implemented.

Get your brand out in front of thousands at Affiliate Summit 2014

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 06:02 AM PST

Post image for Get your brand out in front of thousands at Affiliate Summit 2014

I am auctioning myself to wear your company’s shirt for 3 days during the Affiliate Summit West Event January 2014 in Las Vegas.

All of the proceeds go to Matt Talbots Kitchen which feeds the homeless, in the name of the  Affiliate Marketers Give Back foundation which is a non profit group lead by Missy Ward (Affiliate Summit Co-Founder).

The winning bidder can pay us by Credit Card, Check, or Wire Transfer.

This is a HUGE oppournunity to get your company out to a very targeted audience.  I normally take between 50 and 100 pictures with people and this year we will be doing video again interviewing people in the expo hall.

I will also be speaking at the conference and will wear your shirt when speaking in front of thousands of attendees (depending on room size).

Go here to see the auction now

 

Here is the history of my T-Shirt Auction for Charity and details:

At Affiliate Summit West 2009 I agreed to wear your companies logo EXCLUSIVELY at Affiliate Summit west and the auction ended up going for $10,000 !!!!.

IMG_3001_002-1

The winning bidders Trainsignal, makers of computer training software, were in attendance. We gave the money on behalf of the Affiliate Marketers Give Back foundation to the National Breast cancer society.

Then at Affiliate Summit East 2009 I did the same auction again for the Lincoln City People’s Mission Homeless Shelter and it ended at $11,000.00. The winning bidder was the giant coupon site retailmenot.com

Once more a year ago at Affiliate Summit West 2010 I held an auction that raised $10,100 for the People’s City Mission again, the high bid coming from ClickBooth.

In 2011 Banner Ad Rockstar won the Auction for $5,000.00

2012 ASW Hostzilla Webhosting company for $5710

skitched-20131204-134947

2012 Leadscon NYC BMI Elite – $5000

2012 Affiliate Summit West – Anthony Morrison – $5,000

Its really been awesome raising over $50,000 at Affiliate Summit events by wearing a companies t-shirt.

But now its 2013 and I want to crack that $65,000 for charity mark!!!!!!

This is a great chance to get your brand out there and also support a GREAT CAUSE!

You will receive a TON of exposure. And A LOT MORE than just a handsome model wearing your logo!

Video Exposure:

  • At Affiliate Summit this year we have gone through all the background checks, union agreements, and other hoops to be one of very few people allowed to take video inside of Affiliate Summit West. I already have about15 companies booked to interview them about their services and also will be doing some general video.
  • I also am asked about 10-20 times to be video interviewed (nobody is supposed to shoot video without authorization people will do it outside of conference areas) and your shirt will be shown.
  • I have over 10,000 YouTube subscribers and am by far the most subscribed to person in this niche. All of the subscribers get alerted each time I upload a video. Each of my videos also has a chance of being syndicated by techcrunch/mashable or another large HUGE website and giving your company more exposure.
  • I will also put the video on our CDN which will be ShoeMoney branded and get more exposure on the blog here.

Photo Exposure:

My photo gallery is the most visited section of ShoeMoney.com other than the root domain. Check these stats out from the last year.

gallerylulz

You are not reading that wrong… over 2 million page views and almost 1.7 MILLION UNIQUE page views. That’s quite an amazing reach!

But besides the TONS of photos I will have in my own gallery, there will be loads of them on flickr and Facebook that people will tag and they’ll be seen by many.

So put your logo in front of TONS of people NOW!

Adult monthly box

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 08:52 AM PST

Post image for Adult monthly box

whisperWith the new monthly box craze, I went online to see if there was any sort of “naughty box” that I could get for friends for xmas presents.

For those unfamiliar with the monthly boxes you get a box of trial stuff in a particular niche and it comes monthly.

I currently have about 8 different ones and it’s awesome when they come, it’s cool to be surprised.

Anyway, there appears to be nothing in the adult space.  I think this would be a interesting opportunity for someone looking for a new endeavor.

It’s kind of the culmination of consumers wanting more things in line with the racy “Fifty shades of grey”  and the new monthly box craze.

You could get samples of condoms, lubes, restraints, various things…  I am sure you can come up with some.

Anyway just my dumb idea of the month.

Time tested affiliate program and a big opportunity

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 01:55 PM PST

Post image for Time tested affiliate program and a big opportunity

Last week I did a video interview with Jeffrey John who is one of the foremost experts in the astrology affiliate industry.

Many affiliates are always chasing the next hot thing.  I know… I have been there.  But things go up and down… especially CPA networks.  Dating,  MMO,  Free+ models, Ringtones, whatever.. it’s not.. it’s dead.

The astrology niche has not only stood the test of time but also can be advertised in many ways that these other niches can’t.  So affiliates who take their knowledge in other spaces and apply it to the astrology space can totally crush it.

I experimented with this a couple months ago and pretty much replaced our eye catching dating ads on Facebook with copy for astrology… With little effort I made over $4,000 which was about a 50% profit margin.

IMG_1032-1

Now I am running the PAR Program full-time and that is my future. I’m taking that company to the house!  But I can’t help being an affiliate from time to time because it’s what I love (as a hobby in my spare time).

So I wanted to share with you a lot of insight on this niche and invited Jeffery to do a video interview to shed insight on the niche.

In this video Jeffrey reveals:

  • The opportunity at hand.
  • Ways to drive traffic.
  • Who’s successful and what they are doing.
  • Where to go to get the best payouts.

Check out the interview here:

Chirp_chirp_by_aldwyn.jpg (1131×707)I wish someone would make an app that passed voice messages in iMessage.

Just something simple.

Siri kind of defeats the purpose on that while it records you it transcribes instead of giving you the option of passing the audio file.

I used to love nextels ptt functionality. Is there an app for that ?

Fast Company Article on “Amazon Whisperer”

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 11:55 AM PST

Post image for Fast Company Article on “Amazon Whisperer”

I came across this article I wanted to share on Fast Company Magazine that I found pretty interesting.

There is a lot of fluff in the article but the just of it is this.

This guy has created a multi million dollar company by:

  1. Using software tools like Amasuite to find high searched terms
  2. Look at the existing products for those terms.
  3. Read reviews and see the feedback from customers on what additional features they would like to see.
  4. Create those products having the features customers are looking for.
  5. Put products on Amazon dropshipping them.
  6. Repeat.

slider-1-2They have over a dozen employees using Amasuite to find the products ALONE.

What a cool story and again emphasizing what an amazing time we live in and what huge opportunities there are.

You can find Amasuite here: http://jvz5.com/c/50621/63621
