Affiliate Money Maker

Those of you already familiar with the MoreNiche affiliate program know that this program gives its affiliates plenty of bonuses - for all kinds of achievements from putting up a site to making the first 10 sales etc. What even I didn’t know, despite of being their affiliate for quite a long time already, is that, as soon as you send them at least 100 unique visitors within any given month, they give you a $10 bonus for that as well! I just happened to receive one so it drove my attention to it (don’t be surprised, currently I am more involved with other affiliate programs at the moment so MoreNiche is kinda on autopilot at the moment - although I do think I should pay more attention to it as it’s well worth the effort).

Among other news: recession is not treating me too bad, infact my sales for some of the products have even increased. I am getting ready for the holiday season. Also, I have been contacted by an affiliate manager of one more affiliate program which I am going to post about as soon as I give their program a try. They have seen one of my sites and thought their products would be a good match for it - I honestly think this is what every good affiliate manager should really do. I replied telling them what kind of creatives I’d like to have to promote their products, they have been really fast to add them and now I am in the process of adding their products to one of my sites already. Will let you all know how it goes.

I have very good news: I just got two downline sales within 24 hours! Both happened in Leading Edge Cash and were brought by the same affiliate. Earlier this month I had one more downline sale in LEC brought by the same affiliate. This affiliate has only joined in November last year and already brought me 3 downline sales within just one month! And LEC is the second affiliate program where I get downline sales. What’s even more interesting is that he is selling products I am not working with so he is not even my direct competition (to further prove my point I made here). Building your downline definitely pays, and I need to make a post about downline building tips some time - I was going to for a long time now but never got to do it.

Other news: I have recently joined several interesting affiliate programs and will be reviewing them as soon as I figure out all their pros and cons so keep an eye on my blog.

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.

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted here as I’ve been travelling but a lot of things have happened in the meantime so it’s important that I mention them.

First of all, I’ve had 3 VigRX Plus sales (VigRX Plus is a product of Leading Edge Cash). These are all still from the Spanish speaking market and I’ve yet to catch up on this with French-speaking and English-speaking markets - I mean to look at them some time soon.

I’ve got my first payment from MoreNiche. Their minimum payout amount is $100, but if it’s your first time getting paid you gotta wait an extra month - it’s an anti fraud measure they have in place, with all further payments you just get your money next month after you make it. Like I mentioned earlier, they have two payment options: cheque or epassporte. I switched to epassporte and got my money immediately after it was posted - very convenient.

Since my last post here I’ve had a total of 7 downline signups: 4 in WorldNiche, 2 in Leading Edge Cash and 1 in GenBucks.  But what’s even more important, I’ve finally had my first downline sale! It was for ClearPores, a skin care product from WorldNiche. What’s interesting is that I don’t even put any effort into promoting this product myself and never had a single sale for it personally.

There is an ongoing agrument among affiliates about whether building your downline creates an additional competition for you - well in this case, I haven’t created any competition for myself. I guess the more products an affiliate program has, the less are the chances you would create yourself additional competition. I would also like to repeat what I already mentioned in one of the affiliate forums I visit sometimes - out of the seemingly large numbers of people that will sign up as your downline, only a small part will start actively promoting the affiliate offers - and making successful sales. Typically, these are the people who are either already experienced affiliates, or highly motivated and willing to put the effort it takes into learning and becoming successful. But the trick is that these people will find their way around in any case - and I’d rather have them in my downline than competing against me as somebody else’s downline or as affiliates who signed up directly.

What made me feel really good is that most of the events mentioned above happened while I was travelling - here goes the power of passive income!

Thought I’d post a quick update as it’s a very important moment for me psychologically: I finally got my first HerSolution Gel sale. I first got my site up and running when this product was just announced by WorldNiche but had no luck with sales. They have redesigned their site, and finally I see it works! My current conversion rate for it is 1:160 so in my opinion it’s still pretty decent and gives me an idea at least how much traffic I need to make it really work for me. The commission is still 60%, as promiced by WorldNiche after the site redesign.

I am now on holiday for two weeks so posting will be scarse at this time but thought I’d post this one. I got waken up by a text to my mobile telling me I made another Lovecentria sale - this time for $4.50 (somebody signed up for a trial there). This is my second Lovecentria sale and a total second sale for MoreNiche. My current conversion rate for Lovecentria is 1:23 - not bad, in my opinion, and even that is while not doing much while on holiday!

I got my first payment through ePassporte from WorldNiche. ePassporte is their alternative payment method and I thought I’d opt for it instead of waiting for the cheque to be mailed then cashed by the bank. Only thing is, I have just opened this ePassporte account so it will now take me some time to receive the ATM card from them - and will cost me $35 to order this card - but with the amount of time it saves me, I believe this is a worthy investment.

To opt for  payments through ePassporte in Worldniche, you need to go to your  info and select ePassporte as a payment method. There is a minimum of $100 payout for thsi payment option. With their bi-weekly payments I think it’s definitely worth doing.

Among  other news: I’ve had a downline signup in WorldNiche and one more sale in LEC - still VigRX Plus for the Spanish speaking market.

I haven’t done this in a while so it’s time to post about my progress and results so far.

Earnings:

I’ve had a sale of ProSolution gel (WN) yesterday - the commission is $53.97.

Conversion rates:

Here are the conversion rates for the products that work best for me so far.

Lovecentria (for which I recently had my first sale) - 1:39 so far, considering the averages reported by otehr affiliates there can be a new sale any time.

VigRX Plus (LEC, in Spanish) - 1:272, that’s even a bit better now than what I had previously (the rate is all the traffic I ever got divided by all sales I ever made). I must say I started testing the French speaking market for this product recently, no sales yet but I will be reporting my progress, will be interesting to compare the conversion rates with the Spanish speaking market.

ProSolution Pills (WN) - 1:32

ProSolution Gel (WN) - 1:90

I’ve also started getting traffic to Ultimate Stretcher, a new product by MoreNiche that I recently mentioned on this blog - no sales so far but I’ve only got a dozen clicks so it’s still too early to tell anything.

Downline signups:

Here’s what I have by now:

• Leading Edge Cash - 6 people in my downline
• MoreNiche - 6 people in my downline
• WorldNiche - 3 people in my downline
• GenBucks - 2 people in my downline

Others are without change just like I reported here.

I can say I am happy with my progress so far. I know I need to be sending more traffic really to see better results but I am getting there, I am currently in the process of building a few more sites and after that is done I will mainly concentrate on increasing the traffic volumes to them all and that’s when I should start seeing some really nice results. In the meantime, these initial sales show me that the products work for me and sell so there is an incentive for me to keep working with them.

Yesterday my recent site building efforts brought nice results. I made two sales within just a few hours! The first one was Lovecentria at MoreNiche, actually my first sale ever at MoreNiche. The site that brought me this sale has only been up for about two weeks since they sent me the templates for it and I built it - very encouraging!

The second sale was ProSolution Pills at WorldNiche. What’s interesting about it is that I didn’t even have a site for ProSolution Pills! How I got this sale is through a lens I made about ProSolution Pills on Squidoo.

I’ve been using Squidoo for a while already. Whenever I have no time to put up a complete site I just throw up a quick lens there. Squidoo lenses tend to attract a lot of traffic quickly and if done right can easily replace a proper site. The only drawback of Squidoo lenses is that you don’t have complete control over what you do with it - they place their own ads on your lens, if you are not being careful you can get spammed by others, etc. However, as a quick solution, it works just fine.

I intend to work further on my sites and see if I can improve them and also drive more traffic to them. Hopefully I’ll be seeing more sales soon!

Just thought I’d post here that I got my $10 bonus from MoreNiche - this one is for driving traffic to the sites. This is the final part of the $45 MoreNiche gives the new affiliates - first $15 for signing up, then $10 for putting up a site, $10 for 50 posts on the forum (and the blue leather wallet for 100 posts!), and finally $10 for driving traffic through your sites. No sales yet but hopefully I’m getting there!
