Shoe Money's latest offer.

I just bought the much talked about Shoe Money System. It is all about earning big online through affiliate marketing.

Jeremy's sales letter sounded genuine and sincere as ever. There was a lot of promise about training. There was also a mention of no further expenses after paying for his product which worked out to approximately $100.

However, as soon as I paid up, there were more sales pitches to buy more for his e-books, guides, domain and hosting. I skipped all the advances and finally landed in my member area.

Shockingly, there was nothing except a few video clips that contained nothing new to me. There were no other training material in his so called Wealth Center.

Is affiliate marketing profitable?

A few of my friends who are experienced article writers have started diversifying into affiliate marketing. Still they use their article writing experience to earn money by selling digital products.

Their success is a revelation for me. Thus far, I have been focusing on blogging only. Since last 5 years, I have become more passionate about blogging. Blogging comes easily to me due to experience of writing more than 6000 blog posts in the last 5 years.

I feel I should also explore the affiliate marketing avenues if I am serious about earning more. I am knowledgeable in affiliate marketing and I have earned some money in the past. Even two days before my blog post generated a sale but it is all small money.

I am going to learn the hidden nuances of affiliate marketing from today. I am good at finding profitable niches.

Unreasonable claims of Clickbank sales.

Do you believe those atrocious claims of people who say they made a million dollar in one month through Clickbank sales? It is a big, flat, green lie I think.

These claimants never reveal how many sales were returned and opted the money back guarantee. They will show screenshots of Clickbank sales that are cleverly cooked up.

And they sell their secrets to their big success for $17 or $27! Why should they sell for such a low price when they have made millions? Either they can charge a big sum that justifies the projected income or they can just give it away free of cost.

Never fall a prey to big and unreasonable claims of Clickbank sales. None can make a million dollar a month through Clickbank sales.

Make money from your wordpress blogs.

This is a new earning opportunity using your wordpress based blogs though the actual method is our dear old affiliate marketing.

In this opportunity of making money from blogs, the affiliate merchant is the mighty Amazon. There is a new plugin for wordpress. It is an Amazon products plugin which when installed in your wordpress blog, automatically displays products that are related to the topic of your blog post.

Sounds like contextual advertising-right? But this is not a PPC advertising but PPA advertsing. If someone buys a product from Amazon after clicking on the advertisment alonside your blog post, you earn a commission.

The products are selected automatically by Amazon based on the tags you sue for your blog post. You are allowed to do a little bit of customization too with this plugin.

I am thankful to James who wrote about this in his blog.

Tips to choose profitable affiliate programs.

A new blogger who is sincerely trying to monetize his blog will easily get carried away by signing up to each and every affiliate program that he comes across by reading money making blogs.

I don't blame you if you are one, as I too was like that several years ago. Here are some useful tips to choose the right affiliate program.

1. Don't fall for big players alone assuming that they are the best. It is not always true. For example, I am sure you are aware of the stalwart CJ (Commission Junction). They only encourage U.S. marketers. Most of the their merchants will reject your application if you are elsewhere. It is true some of their merchants will auto approve your application but such merchants' products or services are not in big demand. It is my experience. (I am in India)

2. Choose and apply for products/services that will be most useful to you. This is a smart way to think on the lines of others' needs. I would definitely recommend the following two popular affiliate directories. Both have excellent products that even I am able to sell.

Pepperjam Network

My Help Hub

3. Will you buy a product purely based on popularity than need? No, you won't. At least I won't. I will remember this principle while promoting products.

4. Look for products that offer a minimum of 20% commission on sale price.

5. If an affiliate directory pays only when you reach $200, don't join even if they offer high commission rate. It is quite probable that their products are not in demand.

6. Don't accept check payments if you are outside U.S. Accept only through Paypal.

7. Be prepared to get payments only after 45 days of making a sale because of refund policy.

Pepperjam moves in top gear and pays bloggers.

If you don't know about Pepperjam Network and the potentiality it offers to earn from it, then consider yourself lagging behind from what is happening in the blogosphere.

Pepperjam Network is sweeping the Internet business community by storm. It is a huge affiliate marketing company and they have just been placed in the top 100 fastest growing company in the U.S.

Well, if you don't take my word for it, please read the official list released by INC 500, a daily resource for entrepreneurs.

Their marketing effort is commendable and they have already impressed hundreds of advertisers that have approached Pepperjam network to improve their product sales.

They must have been highly satisfied with affiliates of Pepperjam Network and that's why Pepperjam Network is on a affiliates recruiting spree.

Throughout August, they are paying $10 as a sign up bonus for everyone that joins as an affiliate of Pepperjam Network.

The most impressive and innovative way of approaching the affiliates is just fantastic. I have applied for a few companies as affiliates and pepperjam sends me an email whenever an advertiser has approved my application. In that email, itself, I am given a facility to generate text and banner links.

I have never seen this thoughtful facility in other players in the same field and they are supposed to be stalwarts in the affiliate marketing industry.

Another interesting opportunity they now offer for bloggers is to allow bloggers to write about Pepperjam Network's tool or Pepperjam Network itself. For their effort, bloggers are paid $10 per post to a maximum of 5 posts per month.

I have so earned $1.50 to generate a lead through one of the affiliate program links.

Pepperjam Network is a perfect platform to set up your own genuine Internet business.

Lifetime commissions.

LifetimeCommissions.com is a directory of affiliate programs that pay lifetime commissions or residual commissions for life.

In the last week or so, I suddenly started seeing some money in my clickbank account. Naturally, my interest in affiliate marketing is revived and I started looking for new avenues.

This program differs from an usual affiliate program. With most affiliate programs, the affiliate earns a commission on only ONE purchase – the FIRST purchase by the customer. In a lifetime affiliate program, when the customer returns to the merchant's site and makes a second or third purchase, the affiliate earns a commission on ALL those purchases.


LifetimeCommissions.com also lists programs which pay residual commissions, for example where the customer pays a monthly fee, and the affiliate earns a percentage of each monthly fee.
In this directory you'll find these lucrative programs, the tools, and resources to make the most of them.
