Affiliate Marketing, Commissions And Digg

May 12, 2008 on 9:53 pm | In Uncategorized |

Wow, it’s been a busy week! Let’s see…I started seeing some commissions from Pepperjam Network last week. That’s great. That means I’m doing something right. The free offer for FRS Healthy Energy Drink is generating positive response. That’s great because the payout is good. The demographics on this product is Males and Females 30+. Hmm, tells me something about my readers. In the last 7 days I made $54 from this campaign.

Another affilliate program that began paying last week was Adfish. I had never heard of them until one day I was seeking election year surveys. Once I tracked down the company behind the surveys, I joined. Their customer service is professional and helpful. My rep Jessica Parola contacts me by phone and email with suggestions on improvement and assistance. Three of their campaigns, Smoking Survey, Global Surveys and Free Flys have been pretty successful on Craigslist. My conversions using this classified ad system are difficult to measure without knowing the size of my audience. However, the things I’ve tested brought in $39.50 last week. The threshold for payout with Adfish is $50.

Then after reading “Breaking The Digg Code,” I created a focus group to dismantle this report. Ty Hurd of Ty’s Blog, Katrina (Kat) of Promotional Magazine and myself have been focused on the directives of this ebook just to find out if its true we can make front page on Digg and generate 40,000 - 70,000 visits in a 2-3 day period. Some of the things we are learning have been applicable to other social networking groups. We’ll share our successes an failures with you at the end of the trial. Subscribe to this feed, Ty’s or Kat’s for updates.

Over at Dat Money’s I had some great dialogue with Matt and a couple of other fellas about making money from porn. You can imagine their surprise when they discovered I make the majority of my online income by writing erotic short stories. Adult webmasters purchase my stories on a freelance basis. The comments there are almost good as the post.

I finally got my domain name! Whoo Hoo!! Teasa’s Tips Techniques Dot Blogspot Dot Com is now teasastips.com. I struggled with it in the beginning, not knowing if I should make the name more keyword friendly, but I’m known as Teasa around the blogosphere, so I decided to keep it that way. I redirected the blogger account to the domain name. And as a result I noticed my Alexa Rank went away. That’s ok, because with the results of our Digg study my Alexa and my PR will be back soon.

This week is going to be just as busy. I’ve got a lot of reading to do on a couple of income making ideas I have. And I plan on spending more time commenting this week on substantive posts.

That’s all for now, see you around.
