Do you know your CFD from your Forex? If you do you’ll know that ‘Contracts for Difference’ are just about the coolest financial instruments around! You don’t actually have to buy the underlying stock or currency – you simply take a position on how that instrument will move, open your position accordingly and wait for the move. Your exposure is limited to the move or change – so you don’t ever have to buy the share or currency and sit with it.

Why’s this fascinating? We’ve just launched the AGM Trader affiliate program and its managed by the dynamic team at Forge Affiliate Management. Vanessa Da Silva is taking point on this account. Vanessa also manages MyJewelrybox.com and a number of other programs.

We pay $2 for every free demo account opened and up to a further $225 for accounts that deposit funds!

Here is a little info on Aurora Global Markets.

• AGM is a financial services company based in the UK and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
• AGM enables global trading in equities, foreign exchange, commodities, precious metals and interest rates.

California Bill 178 threatens to change the performance marketing playing field.

This bill, copying a similar one in New York, unfairly categorizing publishers as sales presence for out-of-state advertisers. This means taxes will be levied on out-of-state advertisers, potentially causing them to shut down their publisher relationships in the state (it happened in New York). Learn more at http://www.performancemarketingalliance.com

With your help, we have a great chance to kill this bill: the PMA is working with the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Taxpayers Association lobbying groups to fight this bill. These groups have successfully killed similar bills in the past, but the difference now is the precedent set by New York state. They believe the only way this bill can be killed is to have a coordinated grass-roots effort that demonstrates the devastating effect this bill will have on performance marketers in California.

With the support of CalChamber and CalTax, PMA is launching a coordinated grass-roots campaign that targets congressional representatives. We are developing an attack plan that includes sample letters, fact sheets, congressional contacts by zip code, and a “Visit Sacramento” day, to put faces in front of decision makers.

First step: The PMA is extremely fortunate to have the support and experience of Beth Kirsch, a well known industry leader who was formerly a federal lobbyist. She is leading our effort, but we need your help. We are looking for California performance marketers to get involved. The most seriously impacted are California publishers and OPMs.

We don’t have much time – we have until March 31st to make an impact.

As we learned from our colleagues in New York, the passage of this bill could have devastating effects on California performance marketers. If this passes in California, it virtually assures a firestorm of adoption by other states, which could devastate our entire industry. If we beat this bill, it will severely limit the adoption in other states.

To join the fight contact the Performance Marketing Alliance or at the very least, please forward this email to your Californian friends.

3 out of 4 Internet Users watched Video in November 2007!

Leading affiliates working with Forge Media managed affiliate programs are using video to great effect to drive affiliate sales.

In the US online video advertising is one of the fastest growing advertising mediums and as bandwidth prices plummet in South Africa and we gain faster access the same is poised to happen locally.

AdAge’s Video Report says it best when they surmise:

—Awareness and credibility are the keys to reaching target audiences
—Videos must contain a compelling call to action
—Distribution channels should be used to maximize viewership”

Why Advertisers use Video?
Video on the Web delivers significant brand impact by combining the power of traditional broadcast and web interactivity. The secret however lies in engaging and relating to your customer.

The user experience must either inform, entertain or provide value to the viewer, as they have far greater control over acceptance of your message.

The ability to drive a Direct Response, together with far lower production and distribution costs when compared to broadcast media makes the medium highly attractive. For the cost of one TV campaign advertisers can develop literally dozens of online videos and measure the response from views, clicks and even sales or leads generated.

Video ads spread virally, are often forwarded and can be placed on unlimited partners sites to drive the messaging home.

How to go about creating your own video
Authenticity and simplicity are key. Long complex messages are never going to work well. A succint, entertaining, engaging (even funny) message is key. South Africa leads the way in creating exceptional, award winning, broadcast advertising.

A rough “How To” for creating a Video Ad
- A profile of the customer you want to engage
- A storyboard & key concepts you want to convey
- Refine the storyboard and script the message, location & props
- Either employ professional actors or round up your own presenters
- Test shoot the ad and test the response
- Refine and shoot the final
- Produce and optimize the content for Web

What else needs to be done?
Plan your objectives and decide how you’re going to measure success.
The call to action should lead to a landing page that resonates with your video and reinforces the message.
You should embed tracking in your video to measure it’s effectiveness.
You should ensure your video plays well in all browsers.
Select distribution including buying online media, using OfferForge.com’s affiliate network, sending viral mails, posting onto YouTube.com or the even better local equivalent Zoopy.com.
