ZacJohnson.com Blog Affiliate Program Now Live

Over the past several years I’ve run my own Affiliate Programs through many networks, such as Shareasale & CommissionJunction. I figured now is as good of a time as any to start up my own affiliate program for others to help spread the word on ZacJohnson.com. The biggest dilemma I had with setting up the new affiliate program, was not only deciding which network to use, but also how much I should pay out to affiliates. After all, how much is a blog reader worth, and how many will actually convert into subscribers?

In the end, I decided to go with a pay-per-click setup. In the past I always setup my programs on a CPA basis, and never a CPC just because it’s so easy to overspend and it’s very hard to control fraud. However, I want this blog do grow and I want my affiliates to make money as well. With the new pay per click program, an affiliate will earn .75 cents for every qualified click to this blog, through their affiliate url. A qualified click is any url from a blog post or web site, sorry no email. Qualified traffic also refers to US only traffic. If you send 1000 qualified clicks, you will earn $750.00. It’s very simple, and you will receive credit for every unique visitor within a 24 hour period.

The earning potential from this blog is amazing. Payments can be sent through paypal or by check on a monthly basis, with a low $25 minimum. To join the ZacJohnson.com Affiliate Program and make more money than you could every imagine, please click here and fill out your contact information and agree to the terms and conditions*!

    Not bad, I’m holding out for an .80 payout though. Oh, I’d also like payment via Western Union, can you set that up?

    In the meantime I’ll be pulling in 50% recurring commissions from http://www.blogcommentator.com/ ;)

    I was expecting that.

    But I have to say that after clicking on the bad April Fouls that John Chow did, I was a bit reluctant to click it. I posted about it by warning people not to click it. You may loose hours of work. I did not but some did.

    Haha, luckily I knew about the site/post before reading his site. I would have been pissed too if I lost my browser pages/open work. I’m sure he’s getting a kick out of it.

    2008-04-01 17:15:15

    Yea, Chow’s little deal kinda ticked me off, but yours Zac, I was getting ready to make banners and go full tilt. I thought .75 per click was pretty good.

    For a second there, I thought you had copied my idea: http://www.jonathanvolk.com/affiliate/ but had much better ways of monetizing your traffic!!!

    You got me good! :D

    2008-04-01 14:08:04

    Yea, cpc at .75 would definitely be a killer. How’s your program going anyway?

     
    2008-04-01 23:05:26

    Yea Jonathan I thought Zac offering 14 times as much per click as you do was a bit fishy.

    Good thing I read the comments first. You almost rolled the master.
    I already had pspad open and half a page of curl code in my head too.

    The onslaught of traffic would have been nice… but paying the bill wouldn’t have been! :P

    I will send you traffic from China, but you’ll have to give me at least $0.90/click. Let me know if you want some.

    I hate April Fools Day. I’ve been so busy with legit stuff that I’ve fallen for like 4 or 5 April fool’s posts already today. Good thing it’s only one day.

    Zac,

    At first I thought, “Why didn’t he call us!”
    Then I thought, “I haven’t seen another blogger do this before.”
    Then I read the comments before I clicked the link.
    You are good! I believed it!

    Ok, this one was good. Quite believable since Jonathan has done a similar setup, but the $.75 should have been a giveaway…damn! Quite original, and the first one I fell for today.

    I figured the .75 per click may push it over, but hey… gotta make it look good!

    Yeah, this was executed nicely. Some others were just way too obvious.

    Agree. This was a joke that actually fooled hordes of people.

    Which April Fools posts Fooled you?…

    Like every other day, I opened up my RSS reader on the train heading into work this morning to check out what others had to say around the blogosphere. Now I knew going into the day that there may be some April Fools day posts but after running through…

    Yes, this is a much more intelligent April Fool’s prank than a silly Rick Roll link that any idiot can post. No creativity or thought goes into a Rick Roll.

    You got me.

    I was going to leave a comment on how stupid this idea is then I started to read the other comments first.

    Thank god your not really doing this.
