Did you know that in 2008 we spent over $43.2 billion on our pets in the U.S? Now that’s a powerful affiliate marketing niche!

Importantly, over $22 Billion was spent on Vet Care and Supplies / OTC medicines versus food, which accounted for $16.8 Billion.

If you’re not already taking advantage of the boom in pet affiliate programs take a look at Embrace Pet Insurance. Embrace is a leading Pet Insurance Provider offering an insurance product that covers pet owners for a range of illnesses / medications and operations. The Embrace Affiliate Program is run on ShareASale and pays out $27.50 per lead for each completed application form.

It’s no wonder that they’re showing EPC’s in excess of $76. I think this niche is too powerful to ignore!

Affiliate Marketers are innovators and this is evidenced by a video I spotted today by fabuloussavings.com promoting our Peapod.com affiliate program.

Their video is slick, well produced and clearly illustrates how to place your first time order on Peapod.com. The video is not rushed, promotes the fabuloussavings.com brand, walks the viewer through the shopping experience and even offers toll free assistance!

That’s a great concept and it’s deftly wrapped in a 2:08 minute movie – just short enough to keep my attention. Definitely a winner!

Take a look at the video and judge for yourself.

Have a cool video you’ve produced? Send me the link and I’ll review it for you!

We’ve implemented the payout on first payment of just $3,97 – so affiliates get paid for all conversions.
Take a look at the links and banners at http://aligned.forgeaffiliates.com/creative.html and start earning today!

Well done team – let’s spread the word that Time Management is easy!

Jonathan

Week 4 and we’re finally finished with The Aligned Thinking microsite at http://aligned.forgeaffiliates.com
I think the team have done a wonderful job with the branding and content.
Landing pages get pimped!
So, what do people love more than surveys? Completing self-improvement surveys of course!
Every Cosmopolitan, People & Heat magazine attest to the fact and every edition you opwn is simply brimming with Self improvement surveys.

Our survey takes under a minute to complete and give you an unbiased assessment on what you’re doing right / wrong and can improve on – it’s in a long form letter format and really puts the our value proposition across.

to do the survey participants give us their email addresses – so we have a great customer acquisition strategy that follows the first survey to ensure we’re converting visitors (and of course paying affiliates the max!)
Jim did an amazing job creating the 1 minute time management assessment that really showcases the power of the ‘Aligned Thinkers Journey’.

Go on – take it for a test drive at http://www.ssainternational.com/timemanagementassessment

We’ve also added audio messages to the page – tell me what you think!

Wow, after a grueling week I finally got down to sit with Jim and review the strategy we prepared for the ‘Aligned Thinkers Journey’. I think we’ve come up with a great strategy but you be the judge.
I really love the payoff line – just says it all!
“Align every action to the life, riches, values you really cherish”
Creating a strategy requires a lot of manpower, research and planning. After doing an exhaustive competitor analysis, searching out the affiliate market players and reviewing other offers competing for advertising space we created a winning affiliate strategy.
Check out our strategy highlights – Agree or disagree? Think it’ll fly?

Revenue is earned through the membership to the Aligned Thinkers Journey on the SSA International site.
The time management coach will be marketed at small- and medium-sized business (SMBs) owners and entrepreneurs who are time stressed and may not have access to formal project management and time management tools due to the high cost and complexity but who will benefit from SSA International’s training and tools.
The SMB market alone could be worth $100 Million or more per year and, compared with the corporate market, is relatively untapped.
We’ve positioned the Aligned Thinking Journey as a membership continuity program and charges a monthly fee for access to the coach and weekly content updates.
The price point is variable with options including:
• 30 day free trial – converting into paid membership ($19.97)
• 14 day free trial – converting into paid membership ($19.97)
• 30 day preview membership – converting into paid membership ($3,97 preview – $19.97)
To convert members we’re giving away over $620 in value including:
• A 24/7 Personal On Line Coach – $197.97 value
• A Weekly Success Secret – $60.00 value
• 15 Welcome Page Bonus Tutorials – $147.49 value
• Guidance to Create your Work Mission – $97.97 value
• Guidance to Create your Personal Mission – $97.97 value
• A Copy of the Book, Aligned Thinking – $19.95 value

Next actions – we’ll be creating the affiliate microsite, setting up landing pages & putting creative into the affiliate network.

Keep watching!

Payout: $10.00/sale, $10.00/sub-sale upwards!

It’s not often that I’m so impressed by a prospective customer that I immediately jump at the opportunity to work with them, but after meeting Jim Steffen from SSA International I was blown away by his expertise. Jim’s an author, trainer and time management coach who’s been coaching Fortune 500 executives for 20 + years.
Jim approached Forge to help him turn his highly successful coaching business into an online success.

First we’ll be performing a strategy consultation to develop Jim’s online & affiliate marketing plan.

He’s a phenomenal Time Management Coach and has created a program called the Aligned Thinkers Journey – it’s an online time management coach that takes only 8 minutes and 32 seconds a week – and it works!

The coach is designed to ensure you ‘align every action to the life, riches & values you cherish’

After test driving the course I found that implementing just a few of his strategies and tools has improved my ability to focus on important actions and streamline my time management – I finally have some free time to spend with my family!
Keep tuning in as we build Jim’s affiliate program and try out new landing pages / offers and creative. If you have any thoughts let us know!

Calling all Forex Affiliates!

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.

This campaign is exclusive to offerforge.com. For further info on the program visit http://auroraglobalmarkets.forgeaffiliates.com.

Wow, this month really caught me off guard! Been away from the blogging desk for so long it feels strange to be getting back to grips with my byline.

A good part of January was spent running ourselves ragged showcasing our technologies and business to the Technology Top 100 adjudicators. The TT100 is the most prestigious awards for technology excellence in Africa – you could call it the “geek’s oscars”.

From thousands of entries this year we were selected as one of the top 100 emerging and established enterprises in South Africa for 2008. We’re obviously thrilled at being recognised as a leading global player in the online advertising and marketing industry and we’re pretty chuffed that our ForgeInsight Analytics patent was singled out as an industry leading innovation.

So, what did we do the next day? Got right down to working hard to deliver for our clients and improve our technology. After all, you’re only as good as your next award aren’t you?

If you are a publisher or agency whose business is in California, your livelihood is at risk.

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.
