Convert2Media

by admin on February 1, 2009

I’ve been meaning to write about Convert2Media for a while. I have only been advertising with them for  couple months now, but they are hands down my favorite affiliate network.  If you do any research on them, you will probably find out that they only have a handful of employees.  Don’t let this concern you.  They are more proactive on helping their affiliates succeed than any other network I am a part of.  The margins they are keeping are really small which means that they have much higher payouts than a lot of other networks.  I switched an offer from another network to Convert2Media in December because there was a $5 payout difference for the same promotion.  That is ridiculous!  The owner of Convert2Media, Ruck, started out as an affiliate like you and me.  He had a blog CashTactics.net that I stumbled across about a year ago that really got me started in affiliate marketing.  Now he continues to blog several times a week on the Convert2Media blog giving examples and ideas on how to promote certain offers.  They also have a great forum with some very knowledgeable people that gives some great “best practice″ information.  How many affiliate networks do that?  Bottom line - check them out, you may not realize what you are missing.  Convert2Media.com

Ok, I wanted to give enough time for my ad to run and let me see the full results.  Here is what happened.  I paid $21 for an ad in a cheap classified paper for testing.  I managed to successfully turn this $21 into $7.  :(  What I learned here is that:

I’m Testing Out Some New Advertising

by admin on December 30, 2008

I’ve been talking to some people that are doing some “outside the box” advertising and it really has me thinking.  What would some offline advertising do for my sales?  I decided to give it a try on a small scale.  I know there are people usingsimilar advertising to generate large amounts of revenue, but since I have only used online ads thimay need a little tweaking.  I’ll be sure to let everyone know the results.

A Great Way To Drive Targeted Traffic

by admin on October 24, 2008

I have been playing around with a few new methods of gerating targeted traffic over the past couple of weeks.  One of the best places I have found is Yahoo Answers.  I don′t know how many of you have ever been on Answers, but there are a lot of people out there searching for different answers.  The great thing is that we have the answers.  They made be trying to figure out how to build a website.  Give them some quality information along with your affiliate link.  You would be surprised with the conversion.  Just don’t SPAM everything.  That will just turn people off and your account will get banned.  For the last two weeks this has generated me over $30 per day with as little as 15 minutes work a day.

Sorry it’s been so long…

by admin on August 14, 2008

I’m sorry it took me so long to make a new post, this past week has been extremely busy for me.  I have been working on a game plan for my next couple promotions.  In the mean time, I have had some really good success with a couple campaigns from HydraNetwork.  They have a huge selection of email/zip submits that convert extremely well.  Most of my campaigns have been direct links to the offers that have offered an almost 70% return which I think is great.

I was fired yesterday

by admin on August 4, 2008

Like the title says, I was fired yesterday.  Due to the eonomic situation, my company was downsizing and I happened to be one of the unfortunate individuals looking for a job.  All is not lost, however.  This gives me an awesome opportunity to practice all the information that has bee provided in my blog.  I have suspended the feeds from the other great blogs that I have been syndicating and will be writing my own posts from now on.

Starting the ShoeMoney NewsLetter

by admin on August 4, 2008

Often times I have wanted to write a bit more indepth about subjects… have them spell checked (image that), proof read and all that but just seemed like a bit much for a blog. So I am going to start sending out a news letter once a month.

Between showing the top commentators on the sidebar and the contest to win a MacBook Air I have had a lot of experience with fighting comment spam. Also from being a moderator at one of the busiest forums on the internet I have seen many methods people use to jackup their post counts. Many times people just post “I agree” or “please pm me” and I find it extremely annoying.

On The BBgeeks Podcast

by admin on August 4, 2008

Last Friday I was on the BlackBerry Geeks Podcast. Up until about 2 weeks ago I was a die hard Palm Treo user but the frustrations of the phone locking up, blue tooth incompatibilities, and other bugs led me to the Blackberry world.

I’ve got my URLs now what?

4sitesI’m ready to really start sending out advertising inquires to website owners for my Media Buy. I have a list of 30 websites that I would LOVE to advertise on. Some of them are obviously going to be quite expensive. But to help me narrow down my potentials I need to know more about the traffic that they are receiving.
