Affiliate Program Review:
With social networks and online dating so hot, it’s no surprise that offers like Reunion, would also be a great performer. Reunion is a lot like Facebook, but that it’s been around longer and focuses more on schools and the reconnecting with the people you graduated with. When members of Reunion upgrade their account, they receive a lot more features and abilities to search and get in contact with more people. I’ve done quite well promoting Reunion in the past. After searching through a few networks, I only found the offer available on NeverBlueAds and AzoogleAds. Through NeverBlueAds, you can promote the offer and earn two different ways, $1.30 for a new free signup and/or $9.00 if the signup converts into a paid membership. When promoting the offer through AzoogleAds, you’ll also receive $1.30 per free signup.
When I used to promote the offer through AffiliateFuel, I did quite well with the campaign. You can see my actual campaign numbers below. I logged into my AffiliateFuel account to see if they still have the offer running, unfortunately they don’t. However, I would still highly recommend them and they have a lot of great performing offers that I have done very well with.

It’s been less than two month’s since I’ve added the ScratchBack "tipping" widget to my blog. With the latest tip from "PPP, makes WSJournal", that brings the blog to 25 total tippers… and an additional revenue source of $537.30 to the blog. When Jim contacted me about displaying the widget on the site, I gladly accepted and was excited to see how it would perform. However, instead of just asking for tips and letting a new widget sit on the site, I made the decision to incentive the deal a bit. This blog is all about how I can help you make more money, and the idea behind ScratchBack is to be able to "tip" a service or blogger for their advice or a job well done. Unlike other tipping plugins, when tipping through a ScratchBack "TopSpots" widget you also receive a link back to your blog or web site of choice. When I added ScratchBack to the blog, not only was I opening a new revenue path for the blog, but I wanted to give my readers a little something extra. To show my appreciation, every "Top Spots" tipper/link through this blog receives a blackMoneyReign T-Shirt! A new section is being compiled now to display any "tippers" that have a picture of themselves wearing the shirt. In this section they will have their picture posted, along with a link back to their blog/web site.
Once again, to show my appreciation, I will do a recap on the first 25 "Top Spots" tippers since the widget has been added to the site last month.
If you would like to be featured in the "Top Spots" position and receive a MoneyReign shirt, all you have to do is click "Get in My Top Spots" on the widget to the right. Last month I had 10 Top Spots, and I moved it down to only 5 Top Spots this month. This way it is seen as a more exclusive area and should send more clicks your way, with less competition. I never really planned for the ScratchBack "Top Spots" widget to become such a source of income, rather than a fun way for me to give out some of my 500+ MoneyReign shirts I just recently ordered! There are still currently two "Top Spots" available, if you’d like them just go through the process and send me your address through the "Contact" page and I’ll have your shirt sent out this week!

Affiliate Program Review:
The dating niche is an extremely competitive, but also very lucrative field. Since competition between dating networks is so intense, you can earn some nice commissions for simple actions such as bringing in new free members, or receive some heavy commissions for acquiring paid memberships. I’m sure most of you have seen at least one eHarmony commercial on television before. If you decide to promote this offer, you really just need “general audience” to come across the offer, because it is already very well branded. Based on network earnings per click on NeverBlueAds, promotion of this offer is making .165 per click. If you are targeting towards “dating” keywords, you will see much higher earnings per click, as well as conversion rates. NeverBlueAds has the offer on a free signup basis (promotion through search/web/banners), and Copeac has both free and paid membership offers (banners only). With Valentine’s Day less than a month away, you can be sure traffic and attention to the dating site will be heating up!

Affiliate Program Review:
Boca Java has been around for many years now and have quite a presence on the internet. This works to your advantage, because people like to buy name brand products they can trust. In addition to being able to promote the offer through several different networks, they also offer different payout structures, landing pages and promotional offers. Boca Java’s visibility across several networks gives you the options to test the program on many different levels. On networks like NeverBlueAds, RocketProfit and Copeac, you can run the campaign on a CPA basis, and target towards different landing pages/promotions. The program is also available on Shareasale, which you can promote and earn 15% of each sale. The average order size from Boca Java coffee is in the $40 range. I recommend joining all three networks to split test this offer and see where it works best for you.

Last week when I launched my network review on PepperJam Network, I briefly went over one of their cool and unique features, which is called PepperJamADS. Most blogs and web sites have run Google Adsense at one point or another. The problem with running Google Adsense is that you have no control over the ads being displayed, and you also have no idea how much you are going to be paid. This great new feature from PepperJam Network, eliminates both. Using the PepperJamADS widget, you can setup your own contextual based banners with advertisements you select from the network, and will earn a commission per lead or a percentage of sale.
While the PepperJamADS tool may not convert on all web sites, it will convert if you have a web site or blog related to any offers they currently have on their network. Using the PepperJamADS tool is also very easy and effective. You can easily customize the size, colors and format of ad spots for your web site or blog. Another great feature is that they have a decent amount of text ad copy for each offer, which you can have rotate on your site. You will then have full tracking to back out which ad spots and campaigns perform best.
One of the main reasons I like the PepperJam Network so much, is because of their dedication to support and them wanting you to succeed with the network. President & CEO, Kris Jones, created an excellent video tutorial where he walks you through the Pepperjam Network interface and shows you how to create your very own affiliate marketing widget.
If you haven’t already, signup to PepperJam Network and try out their PepperJamADS tool and see what offers may convert with your site traffic. You never know how much money you may be missing out on.
