Tips For A Successful Online Information Product Launch

CVOS — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 00:37:25 +0000

Product launches are not new to the online industry, however they are currently one of the most popular form of promoting products by top affiliate marketers.

The framework of a product launch is prepping many affiliates who will help you mail out information during a week timespan. During this week you will unveil 3 new pieces of informative videos that provide valuable information and helpful tips while pre-selling your product. At the end of the week sequence, usually on a tuesday or thursday you will unveil a sales video with the price point and purchase instructions.

Successful product launches can generate thousands of sales and millions of dollars the first day.

The 4 main parts of a successful product launch are your audience, the offer, launch procedure and your authority.

Audience
- Are they passionate?
- Do they give a damn? (Feedback, people emailing for more info after buying products)
- Do you know what they REALLY want? (www.surveymonkey.com)
Offer
- Right offer, is it a needed service
- Correct price point
- Proper sales copy and voice used to connect with your group. What you have, what it will do, and what you need them to do
Launch
- Right momentum and information flow
- Timing to avoid holidays and other big launches
- Give your best information during the launch sequence
Your Authority
- Do you have social proof – people think you know what you are talking about
- Does your audience trust you
- Do your contacts believe you have something they must have

If you can answer yes to all these questions, then you should have a successful launch. Let me know how your launches go, and as always I am happy to help you test pages, evaluate copy or screen videos.

Microsoft AdCenter Affiliate Program To Be Reopened?

CVOS — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 05:30:54 +0000

I have been promoting the Microsoft adCenter affiliate program since its inception, and made some great commissions off of it. After $900 in earnings promoting the Microsoft adcenter PPC program, the affiliate managers began changing service options, restricting usage, playing coy with their loyal affiliates, cancelling the program twice, and finally terminating all payouts in October 2008.

I received a final email from microsoftaffiliates.net announcing the end of all payouts. However it leaves open the possibility of a new adcenter affiliate program in the near future.

Lets hope Microsoft returns to its senses and creates an incentive program for their contextual advertising property. Maybe MSN will launch it on microsoftaffiliates.com – what a novelty to use a .com

Windows Live OneCare To Be Set at $2.00 Payout
As previously announced, the payout for every US or CA based free trial of Windows Live OneCare will be lowered to $2.00 as of September 15, 2008 in order to extend the lifetime of the campaign. However, there will be additional promotions to come that will give you the opportunity to earn more, so stay tuned!

Window Live Toolbar Extends $2.50 Payout!
We are pleased to announce that the WIndows Live Toolbar $2.50 payout will extend through September for every unique, US-based installation. Be sure to log into the Affiliate Account Center to access all new banner ads and text links that will drive your customers to the enhanced landing page!

adCenter Partner Program To Wrap Up In October
As you know, the adCenter Partner program stopped taking new sign ups on June 30, 2008, but has continued to pay on any of those sign ups that met the minimum spend requirement. October payouts will include the last earnings from the Partner program and then that program will be officially closed. Be on the lookout in October for your final payment. Thanks again for your participation in this initiative and we will be in touch as soon as we hear any details about a new version of the program.

Let Us Know Your Thoughts
We would love to hear your thoughts on our current programs, Windows Live OneCare and Windows Live Toolbar. What is working? What is not working? What would be helpful for you to be succesful?

Pepperjam Network Affiliate Program Incentive

CVOS — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:02:27 +0000

Pepperjam Network is a new affiliate network that has won over the affiliate marketing world. They have taken the best features of Commission Junction, Linkshare, Connect Commerce and created a great affiliate platform with personalized service and true customer support.

To inspire new users and existing publishers, Pepperjam is offering bloggers $10 for every post about Pepperjam Network news or tools. Bloggers also receive an additional $7 for every new affiliate you refer to the program. Your new affiliates receive $10 as a sign-on bonus.

So start writing about pepperjam to increase your blog income and give new Pepperjam affiliates a $10 signup credit. This is equivalent to a $10 copuon just for signing up to this affiliate network.

I have used Pepperjam for nearly 6 months and have found many exclusive affiliate offers including SEOmoz & ebay. They provide the only 3rd party Ebay affiliate program, so if you dispute the tracking system on the Ebay partner network ebaypartnernetwork.com, try Pepper Jam instead.

If that’s not enough incentive to post about Pepperjam consider the 2008 Inc. 500 list was officially released today announcing that Pepperjam ranks as one of the top 100 fastest growing privately-held companies in the United States of America.

Pepperjam’s 2008 Inc. 500 ranking is #70 with three-year revenue growth of 2,447.5%. Pepperjam must have an extremely satisfied clientele that is driving it’s growth.

Affiliate Networks Reviewed

CVOS — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:05:26 +0000

There are several ways to make money online, and some of my favorite are affiliates and CPA. Affiliate networks are regular sites that have signed up to give an advertiser a specified percentage on all completed sales. A webmaster places a targeted link with affiliate tracking code on their site, and if a user clicks through to the publisher’s website and makes a purchase, the affiliate receives a portion of the sale, generally between 5% – 10%. To learn more about how to make money online try going to industry conferences and local events. We have a discount code for Affiliate Summit which is the largest affiliate marketing conference in the world.

Affiliate networks

Commission Junction – the largest affiliate network, with most recognized brands. CJ grows by 3-10 new affiliate publishers per day. Good reporting and a fairly easy to use layout. Reasonable response from customer service. Offers brands on five different national markets, including Sweden, Germany, France, United States and United Kingdom.
Shareasale – has the best reputation among affiliate managers and super affiliates. SAS is the most affiliate friendly program available, and while it does not have a lot of big name companies they are a quality company.
Pepperjam Network – PepperJam is a new affiliate network run by a gregarious search marketer, and I have high hopes for this affiliate program. Many of the sop search engine optimization consulting forms and conferences including Search Engine Strategies and SMX have signed up with PJ. This is a very positive indicator of a trustworthy program.
LinkConnector – technologies, provided by LinkConnector, are the Naked Link Technology and Affiliate Connections. The Naked Link Technology allows you, as an affiliate, to link directly to the merchant’s site without using a third party URL. This gives your site more of an editorial feel and mayincrease your earnings. Affiliate Connections helps to find optimal promotions and maximize EPX. If you choose various promotions to put on your site this technology will know which one that’s the most profitable at the moment and optimize its display.
LinkShare – this affiliate program was a dying dog before being purchased by the Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten. They have a new admin interface and better management tools. Second only to Commission Junction for big brand representation – most mall department stores are represented in Link Share.
Performics – lots of large companies, decent interface but substandard support. Performics and Connect Commerce seem to not want you to know they have real people running their website.
ClickBank – good solution for digital downloads, ebooks, subscriptions, writing and one off items. Huge downsides to Click Bank are they require 5 unique purchases before they will send you a commission check
Share Results – smaller affiliate network with less recognized brands. There is very little data on shareresults.
LinkTrust – another small affiliate publisher network, unsure if it is worth signing up for.
DirectTrack – Old school affiliate program that serves niche markets. Good affiliate system if you like the specific publishers
Kolimbo – notable for the myaffiliateprogram.com system which lets you run your affiliate program from your own domain name. Affiliates never leave your site. The downside is it is harder to attract super affiliates who may be running hundreds of offers concurrently.

CPA networks

Azoogle – long standing cost per action affiliate network with a reasonable selection of affiliate publishers and good affiliate support. I have always been able to reach Azoogle Ads via phone if necessary.
Incentaclick – Recently renamed to CX Digital, this cpa affiliate network
ClickBooth.com

These are good at their intended purpose and are optimized for sending traffic to landing pages. CPA leads can convert well if the traffic exactly matches the offer and landing page setup. These users are not looking to browse, they are looking to buy.

Shopping Ads World of Suck

CVOS — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:07:11 +0000

I have been running AuctionAds / Shopping Ads since their inception and have yet to see any real activity. I have actually forgot about the ads I placed on my sites, and checked the ShoppingAds site for a recent report.

Total earned $.36 for 52 clicks on 4273 impressions. This works out to less than 9 cents per thousand impressions. The average CPM for display ads is $10. I don’t think I’ll be using Shoppingads.com on any future sites.

Microsoft Live Cashback Search Incentive

CVOS — Fri, 23 May 2008 19:25:22 +0000

Microsoft Live Search has launched an initiative called Cashback which offers a discount for products purchsed on MSN search. This incentive is similar to an affiliate program where the publisher (MSN) receives a cash bounty for purchases made from participating advertisers. Microsoft only gets paid if a user buys a product, compared to normal Pay Per Click advertising (which provides 98% of Google’s revenue) which generates revenue for every ad click.
The interesting part of the Live Cashback promotion is that Microsoft gives 100% of the discount back to the consumer. So if you purchase a digital camera on MSN Cashback

Microsoft needs to do something drastic to get back into the search advertising game. They’re third in U.S. search market share with under 9.1% of the online search market. Six months ago Microsoft Live Search had 9.8% market share. Google, by contrast, has 61.6% and is growing steadily:

Statistics from eMarketer shows over 50% of web users in the US begin online shopping using a search engine. 14% of online shoppers begin a product hunt using a comparison shopping search engine. 15% of shoppers navigate directly to their e-commerce site of choice (amazon.com, buy.com, ebay.com etc.)

Listen to Danny Sullivan, Mike Arrington and Hugh MacLeod debate Microsoft’s new Cashback strategy. Podcast Recorded Thursday, May 22, 2008. download the GillmorGang mp3 podcast.

Maximizing the Ebay Affiliate Program

CVOS — Fri, 09 May 2008 06:09:53 +0000

Ebay recently moved their affiliate program from Commission Junction to their in house Ebay Partner network.

This is some code that will help you quickly build ebay affiliate links without logging in to their website and using the auction link building tool https://www.ebaypartnernetwork.com/PublisherToolsHome

PHP functions for Ebay.com originally from Tamebay:


function get_country($country_code) {

$US = "711-53200-19255-0";

$IE = "5282-53468-19255-0";

$AT = "5221-53469-19255-0";

$AU = "705-53470-19255-0";

$BE = "1553-53471-19255-0";

$IN = "4686-53472-19255-0";

$CA = "706-53473-19255-0";

$SG = "3423-53474-19255-0";

$HK = "3422-53475-19255-0";

$FR = "709-53476-19255-0";

$DE = "707-53477-19255-0";

$IT = "724-53478-19255-0";

$ES = "1185-53479-19255-0";

$CH = "5222-53480-19255-0";

$UK = "710-53481-19255-0";

$CN = "4080-53484-19255-0";

$NL = "1346-53482-19255-0";
return $$country_code;

}
function aff_link($url,$text,$customid,$country){

$target = get_country($country);

$prefix = "http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/";
echo "”.stripslashes($text).””;

}

place this PHP code in your website to generate the ebay affiliate link

aff_link("URL","link text","custom ID","country");
where

* URL is the eBay URL to link to
* link text is the anchor text you will use – will also appear as the link title attribute)
* custom ID is like the CJ SID, append a specific ID to any link, for granular affiliate link tracking
* country is the two letter country code relating to the auction program being promoted (US, UK, FR, DE, AU etc.)
