Hey Digital Point, My name is Craig Snyder, I'm the network manager over at a relatively new CPA affiliate network. I've been browsing DP for years and I've quickly come to learn what a valuable home this is affiliates, old and new, and I appreciate the opportunity from people like Shawn and Shoemoney to come here and introduce my network to you guys. Lazy Profits is the name of our network, a name that plays off of the misconception that us affiliate marketers are people who sit around in their socks and effortlessly make money from their bedroom all day long. The affiliate managers and other supporting staff at our network know things are much more difficult than that for affiliate marketers. We are an extremely honest network and that is something that I truly take pride in. With that being said, I don't want to waste anyone's valuable time or put ideas into your head that are not what they seem. Allow me to throw the following things out there: We are an affiliate network that feels as if we cater best to the more novice affiliate. We specialize in affiliate management and support. Affiliates make the network. If our pitch sounds great to you and our offers seem worth your time, and you've been marketing for 10 years then we'd absolutely love to have you as an affiliate! However, we are completely realistic and understand that there are a solid selection of networks (such as Neverblue and MaxBounty) out there for the super affiliate. Our network is run on the HasOffers platform. Some people are not big fans of the HasOffers model because of how often scam, cookie cutter networks pop up under their Free edition. We promise on everything that you will never encounter even a thought like this with us. We are not a network being hosted for free. We know HasOffers in and out and see it as one of the better and most improving tracking applications out there. We are absolutely not a network that is going to call your phone or cram your inbox begging for your traffic. You are an affiliate marketer employing yourself and we want you to be as comfortable as possible under us. Every one of our AMs are extremely easy to talk to. With that out of the way, I'm glad you're still with me. We are adding new offers to our network every single week, and while we have a huge variety for you to poke through, we truly specialize in email/ZIP submits that each pay in between $1 and $2 per conversion. Here are a couple example landing pages for our submits: http://bit.ly/9nplwW http://bit.ly/cFVXdM http://bit.ly/aB6S4t http://bit.ly/bKdVR0 http://bit.ly/anXKea Again, we have around 60 more offers just like those and we are constantly adding new ones. Our email/ZIP submits convert after the first page, it can't get much more simple. One of the links there (I don't recall which) leads to an iPhone 4 offer that we are actively running. We have an affiliate that signed up with us just a few days ago on the 6th who started sending us traffic to this offer. He is generating quality conversions and his traffic and very clean, he has made at least $100 every day since applying. I've asked him if he would screenshot his daily stats for me to post here, and here they are: http://i34.tinypic.com/6jd8ar.png - He is doing a little bit of split testing, but you can see that an RPC of $0.08 is easily attainable running our offers. His traffic source was untargeted, as well, which makes that RPC pretty amazing for an email submit. If you want to see a handful of other landing page previews before you sign up, give Jack's affiliate manager (Bryan) a buzz and you can get a quick sample of the type of support offered that helps affiliates like Jack sign up and immediately start seeing numbers: AIM: LP AM Bryan Email: I've went ahead and edited this to remove Bryan's email in consideration that there are certainly people scraping mails directly from this section. I'd suggest you simply email his @aim.com email address, which should be easy enough to find out on your own! For your specific questions to be answered, you can reply here and I'll check up on this thread every day. However, if you are genuinely interested in sending in an application to become an affiliate, I recommend getting in touch with an affiliate manager or myself. We have an FAQ section of the affiliates area, and I think posting an exert from it here will answer most general questions: Sound good? Click here to apply as an affiliate with Lazy Profits! Again, I encourage you guys to ask your questions here for the benefit of everyone and because, as DP's rules state is mandatory, we have nothing at all to hide. Honestly, don't PM me, drop me a line right here and I'll try to respond to everyone individually. Thanks again to the Digital Point team for allowing me and so many other startup networks to have a place to show what we're all about!
Awesome. I'm a follower of CashBackAffiliate.com, by the way, very nice project you have going. An affiliate manager should have you approved within 30 minutes. Also, let me use this post to let you guys know that if you apply with faulty or uncompleted information, the chances of you getting approved are slim to none. Your personal information is very safe with us and there's no reason why a legitimate affiliate would have a problem with filling out a name and address!
Hi, I'm going to check out your offer and try it out. I'm working on a website, but i'm guessing you don't need one for this? If not i'll start this week.
We have a lot of different offers. Most will allow social traffic from places like Facebook, most will also allow email traffic, so you don't need a website to get started pushing offers with us. All you need is a legitimate method to bring traffic to our landing pages and we'd love to pay you twice every single month. Send in an application and we'll get you taken care of!
Well to begin with I will be using social networking. When my website is done, that also. Do you need a website to apply and get accepted (can't look now sorry)
You don't need a website to complete the application. Also, let me mention real quick: If you guys have close ties to other affiliate marketers, we are a fairly new network and we offer one of the highest referral rates you will find at 10%. While our network is still relatively small, right now is a perfect opportunity for people to make effortless income off of the performance of referrals!
Yes, the referral rate is what caught my eye initially (10% is very high for the industry), then I read further. My initial impressions so far, from reading and looking over the site and this thread, are that this is indeed a good network to help out the novice. I especially like that in the FAQ there are areas that point you to where to get cheap hosting, some pages for tools to use in IM, etc. I obviously can't speak for whether the network pays or not (as I mention here in my initial impressions review), but so far on the surface things seem very well put-together.
We're very pleased you added us to CBA! As time passes, we look forward to establishing a solid and trusted rating from you guys. If I had known this was coming up, I'd have provided a few variations of our logo for you to use in the footer of your review. Here's a couple in case you feel they look better: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3861818/logo-v6.png https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3861818/logo-v13.png As we progress, the frontend of our network @ www.lazyprofits.com is going to be developed further and offer much more pre-application insight to what we have to offer. We plan on including a section where we can link back to partner sites, and you guys will definitely get a backlink from us. Until then, we hope we're able to send you guys some chunky referral payouts!
That was fast approval. I hope this works out because i'll have a good review if it does. Ok i'm trying to look at your offers and it keeps throwing me to the site of some dating service! what on earth? :/
Hi Fiona, I looked up your account information and you live outside of the United States, correct? Which offers were you trying to preview? Not all of our offers accept international traffic, just like most networks. We accept affiliates from all around the world, but the majority of our offers will only accept US traffic. Because you're located in NZ and not the US, assuming you were trying to preview some of our US offers, you were instead redirected to an offer that is eligible for your geolocation. We do this so that even if our affiliates accidentally receive international traffic to one of our US-only offers, they still have a chance to make a conversion. Offer redirection is a much smarter and profitable feature to help affiliates capitalize on every single unique click they send to our offers, even if the IP address is ineligible. Being outside of the US, the only way that you'll be able to preview our offers that only accept US traffic (see the "Countries" column on our offers page) would be to use some sort of proxy. I should have mentioned in my original post, if you do not live within the United States, you will not be able to view those 5 example landing pages! We are working diligently to increase our selection of international offers for your traffic outside of the US.
I've updated the logo on CBA. Thanks for the kind words, and I hope we can send you some quality affiliates in the coming months.
You've managed to send us at least one already, very pleased. You'll always have an account with us and you'll be able to promote those offers to a US audience even if you live in New Zealand. We're working on a relationship with a few advertisers right now that will land us several international offers, I'll be sure to send a mail to all affiliates to let you guys know when we have those up and available.
Traffic from social networking sites are perfectly fine as long as you're not doing anything outrageous such as spamming the walls of Facebook phish. We can't have that. Please also keep in mind that we currently have no incentive offers available, but will be adding those soon. You can see what type of traffic is allowed for each offer by looking at the category column on the offers page.
We just finished adding 28 more email/ZIP submits! Offers for free laptops, Amazon Kindle, HTC Droid, and a big screen TV are in this bunch! Recently, we'd had a lot of fishy signups with people claiming to be in countries that they obviously are not. Just a heads up if anyone reading this has that idea: You're not going to make it to your first conversion with us! Please don't sign up with the notion that you'll be able to fraud or sell approved accounts, we have a dedicated group of guys looking for issues like this all day long.
We're in the process of adding a ton of new offers. I'm waiting for a phone call to give me the OK to start setting up these offers and then you'll slowly start seeing a load of new CPS and international offers. We're doing our best to give our affiliates a variety of offers, but we're still going to try to keep an emphasis on email and ZIP submits. If by the time we add a few international offers there's a new reply here, I'll give this thread a bump to let you and everyone else know. Let me remind everyone, we currently have no offers that allow incentive traffic. When we do, they'll be placed in the Incentive Allowed offer category for easy sorting.
