ZacJohnson.com Blog Affiliate Program Now Live

- By Zac Johnson on April 1st, 2008
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*!

"With great power comes great responsibility".... my Uncle Ben told me that. Haha, just kidding! I'm Zac Johnson and I've been making money online for over 10 years now. In short, I started making money online while I was in high school... but my passion for marketing and making money goes back way earlier than that. I created ZacJohnson.com to help motivate you to start making money online, and live the life the you always dreamed of.
Not bad, that is actually quite good Zac.
Kudo’s on being the first to pull a good one all day.
ReplyNot 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/
ReplyI 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.
ReplyLMFAO…You sir, are an asshole…J/K. Best one I seen so far dude, props.
ReplyGood one Zac. Funny but still tasteful.
ReplyThis was actually a good aprils fools joke! I was like :is Zac crazy or what”?? I almost set up my adwords campaign and everything lol
ReplyHappy April Fool´s, Zac!
ReplyFor 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!
ReplyHa ha good joke there
ReplyGood thing I read the comments first. You almost rolled the master.
ReplyI already had pspad open and half a page of curl code in my head too.
Thanks, tried doing something original, while relating to the blog content as well!
ReplyYea, cpc at .75 would definitely be a killer. How’s your program going anyway?
ReplyThe onslaught of traffic would have been nice… but paying the bill wouldn’t have been!
ReplyHaha, 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.
ReplyI 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.
ReplyArite that was good! Honestly that was the only one that I clicked and when I saw the damned page i was like SHIT! hahahaha..
Cheers bud
ReplyI 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.
ReplyI knew it, I knew it.
ReplyAnd so have not clicked that link. (can anybody tell me what’s in that link ? )
lol - Happy Fool’s day
I hate april first
ReplyZac,
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!

ReplyYea, 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.
ReplyOk, 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.
ReplyI figured the .75 per click may push it over, but hey… gotta make it look good!
ReplyYeah, this was executed nicely. Some others were just way too obvious.
Replywow. thats awesome. I clicked on that link so fast , it woulda made your head spin!
ReplyNice - at first I was like, man 75 cents seems very generous…I forgot what day it was!

Replyahahah i mean loll almost good….:) people work hard this year
ReplyYea Jonathan I thought Zac offering 14 times as much per click as you do was a bit fishy.
Replylol I was like damn let me check this out … opened the page and it said April fool .. this was a good one Zac
Replylol I was a bit late but I didn’t realize it was april 1st and i clicked the page … Then looked at the date.
Replythat was a good one .. You totally got me
ReplyGood stuff. I got all excited too
Beats a rick roll any day
ReplyGreat trick!
ReplyThe concept of making fool was like just awesome
Reply.75 per click was like just wow.. People would just believe in this super affiliate post lol..
Agree. This was a joke that actually fooled hordes of people.
ReplyYes, 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.
ReplyYou 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.
ReplyThat was nice, had me scratching my head for a second.
Replyhello, thank you very much for your great motivation. I’m just a tired marketer who still effort making money online. Thanks.
ReplyWhich 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…
