Hi everyone, A few days ago I got an email from one of the affiliate managers at the Empyre Media affiliate network telling me a little about their network and why I should join it. It sounds legit! I think they are similar to a CPA Storm or Filinet. One thing that I thought was really cool was the fact that they have a place on their website that is called Empyre University. Apparently they are going to teach affiliates how to become super affiliates and increase revenues. That is what really caught my attention. I guess even if I don't join this network, I can get even more free internet marketing training. PLEASE! If anyone has experience with these guys, let me know! I think I will sign up and take a look around their network before I run any offers. Maybe I'll post a follow up to this thread in a week or so.
Never heard of them but like any new and unknown network just make sure you take things slow and see if they pay. I hope this link helps you a little: http://bestincentiveaffiliates.com/2009/01/12/dont-be-fooled-with-new-affiliate-networks/
Hi Shaz, I appreciate your concern with new affiliate networks and it is agreed that affiliates should take things slow to ensure that the affiliate networks pay their affiliates like they say they will. But, I did read your blog post that you referred the readers of this forum to and I wanted to post a comment on your blog, but couldn't due to restrictions on your blog. I don't so much agree with your theory about affiliate networks running Direct Track being fraudulent or fake. Direct Track costs about $20k up front, I don't know many scammers who can front that kind of money just to make a quick buck scamming affiliates. Our network is very new and we run on Link Trust. It is a little bit cheaper than Direct Track, but that doesn't mean that we are not a legit organization. In fact, I feel that networks who are really trying to make it in the affiliate marketing industry that are running on platforms like Direct Track and Link Trust are more legit than those who run on their own, in house systems. The reasoning for this is because most networks who drop that kind of money can plan on not being profitable for at least 6-12 months, if not longer. Especially if they are in it to build quality advertiser and publisher relationships and ensure that affiliates are quality and their leads are quality as well. Like I said above, it is good for affiliates to be cautious, but it is also good for affiliates to branch out and look for new opportunities to create revenue for themselves and their websites.
Oh yeah I agree with you, which is why I said in the post that not every affiliate on DT is a scam. A lot of my favorite affiliates use that script. But it's more likely a person who is looking to scam will use an already made script instead of a custom one which can cost a great amount of money. I agree with the branching out also, which is why I pointed out how to branch out. I always take small steps with new networks, as in generate small revenue and gradually increase. Thanks for you input and I wish your affiliate network great success!
Thank you for the good wishes Shaz! I hope that one day we can maybe work together in the affiliate realm. And to swsoft, you can sign up for an affiliate account at our website.
I got a email from Empyre video today. Is there anyone who has good news story about these Affliates?
