Affiliate Money Maker

Good news for all the international affiliates: Leading Edge Cash has just launched 3 more translated web sites for VigRX Plus. The latest additions are the German VigRX Plus, Japanese VigRX Plus and Russian VigRX Plus.

Is this a good opportunity for the affiliates out there?  Let’s see:

Google.de:  only 22,500 results for VigRX Plus in German. Potential market? Germany, Switzerland, Austria, people using the Internet in German from elsewhere.

Google.jp: only 20,500 results for VigRX Plus in Japanese - and Japan is surely a nice, large and profitable market to work with.

Google.ru: this is totally incredible - only  822 results for VigRX Plus in Russian! And the market is really huge - not only Russia itself but many former Soviet Union republics where people speak Russian as well - enormous really!

So if this all has persuaded and inspired you, you you might want to have another look at my post about succeeding in an international market as an affiliate and get to work. In case you have not yet registered as an affiliate with LEC go ahead and do it now - and feel free to ask me any questions, I will happily share my experience with you. Good luck!

MoreNiche has just announced the launch of a new product for its affiliates to promote. It is WassOnline and it’s an online community for gamers where people can find reviews and tips and discuss different online gambling sites. Infact there’s much more that they offer for their members - from gambling news to poker tutorials to ratings of online poker rooms to even live poker tournaments. It’s not even about casinos only - they also have sections on bingo and sports betting so it pretty much caters to anyone. Member can participate in the forum or even set up and run their own gambling blogs. What’s even more interesting is that the signup is free.

What does it mean to you as an affiliate? First of all, for those not very well familiar with terminology let’s do a bit of an explanation.

There are different schemes of affiliate commissions used in modern affiliate marketing. All the products MoreNiche had so far as well as most other programs I talk about on this blog are based on a pay per sale model: you drive traffic to the offer, people buy products and you get a percentage of each actual sale as your affiliate commission.

There is another model you might be familiar with if you ever did any AdSense - pay-per-click. In this case, you get paid for every click on the ads placed on your site. But because of that kind of traffic being less targeted, you hardly ever get paid more than a few cents a click really - that was the main reason for me to switch from AdSense to affiliate.

Pay per lead, on the other hand, is more efficient for the advertiser and likely more lucrative for the publisher / affiliate (you). You are getting paid for a lead which simply means a person you bring to the affiliateoffer has to leave their contact information, fill out a form, join a membership based site, etc. You don’t care if they end up buying anything from the merchant - all you should care about is whether the signup form on the merchant site is prominent enough and if people can get an idea why registering should be beneficial for them. And if I understand anything about sites and their conversion rates, WassOnline is designed specifically to make people want to join.

Of course, pay per lead model does not offer payouts as high as pay per sale - but provided high volumes of traffic it all adds up very fast. MoreNiche offers $2 per lead on Wass Online so jump on this offer while it’s still hot.

Checked my email this morning to find out I had a sale in JoeBucks affiliate program! It’s been a while since I registered with them but this is my first sale there.

JoeBucks has plenty of products ranging from weight loss to men’s health products and I do need to pay more attention to it as there’s a lot of money to be made there. Many of their sites have multiple language versions. So far, I’ve only been using one product (penis enhancement pills) on one of my Spanish language PE sites. The site has been getting some traffic but most of it seemed to go to another product featured on that site, one from a different affiliate program. Really nice to know that JoeBucks producs on my site sell as well.

The payment system JoeBucks uses has an option of getting paid through Payoneer, an online payment system similar to ePassporte, which is very convenient as you get your payment in a matter of hours since the payout date. I certainly have opted for it, and what’s even nicer is with JoeBucks, it’s not gonna cost me a cent to create an account with Payoneer and get their card - infact I have the card already as they made me one as soon as I registered with JoeBucks. With ePassporte, it cost me $35.

Anyway, the month has just started so I have almost 2 more weeks to increase the amount of my first payment from JoeBucks - their payout periods are twice a month.
