After only a few days of trying out a new affiliate partnership I just registered my first $100 commission. It is always exciting to find a new affiliate that actually pays out for all the traffic we send their way. Previously I had marketed the exact same product/service through Azoogle for about a month. I sent them hundreds of solid targeted leads. Not a single sale/conversion. I told my Azoogle rep via email I was dropping them. Never heard back from them... guess they are too busy counting all the commissions the stole from me. So I dropped them... started with a new program and already have my first commission after a few days... Moral of this post... don't get discouraged if you don't make any money with one affiliate... keep trying others until you find those gems that really pay. Then grow those partnerships into new successful revenue streams... Once you are happy with the earnings and feel it has reached its potential.... start the process over again with some other product/service/affiliate...
Thanks... I've been trying to diversify my income streams for some time now... it has been harder than I thought it would be to find good paying affiliate programs... but it really just takes a lot of work and testing... and determination... =)
Congratulations, good luck with the project in the future . Once you start making. You never stop. lol.
Thanks for that post. btw, nice blog with good general info. I've bookmarked and will become a reader
I read your blog. Did you ever contact azoogle regarding the purchase they did not pay you commission for? I was actually looking into trying them out, but after reading this I am really having second thoughts.
When you find a good affiliate program it makes all worth while. When you find the right one and right product you can taste the money. I am sure everyone knows what i mean.
