    Looking for some help to figure out who is behind an affiliate program I saw recently. I'm sorry but I don't remember the company or the website URL. This was something I saw in passing while I was searching Craigslist for big cities like Los Angeles and New York. I either didn't save the page or I did and now Craigslist says 404 page not found.

    Please let me know if you can give me a hint in the right direction. Here are a few things I do remember about the affiliate program description.

    - it was for a digital media production company, they make commercials for television and other promotional video recordings

    - the affiliate program was aimed at business-to-business sales referrals, you didn't have to close the sale, only send your referral to the digital media company and help setup the appointment for further discussion, if the sale is made then you earn a commission check

    - the primary sale was for blocks of time, it was very expensive, like $20,000 USD per month, after the sale was made you would earn a residual commission check for as long as they remained a paying customer

    - I remember they called the affiliates "creative consultants" or something similar, and the advertisement made a big deal that you could do this full-time or part-time, and either work from home or travel as much as you want as an independent contractor

    - I remember checking out the digital media company website, it was heavy on Flash, had a lot of video samples, very professional and well designed, the main point about the affiliate program was the schedule of commissions and how it would increase 20% to 25% to even higher percentages if the client purchased more blocks of time

    - one of the points I remember was asking for affiliates who had industry contacts in different fields, I think a few of them were healthcare, banking, automotive, and probably a few others, they were looking for people who had a rolodex of potential customers they could call upon to start setting appointments with the closer

    I wish I could remember more. This is very frustrating. Thanks in advance for anyone's help. Cheers!

    Hey thanks for those replies. I have tried repeatedly to search by keyword to locate the name of this affiliate program. I know it has to do with digital video recording in a professional studio environment. But I'm not dreaming, it does exist, and I found it once on Craigslist. Still searching.

    By the way, is there an archive of expired Craigslist job postings I could use? Perhaps another website that scrapes content from CL that I could search on? Looked at archive.org but it didn't seem to work. Thanks for anyone's help or hints.

    Hello Jeff,
    I did try this but it went to a page on Craigslist that said job posting has expired. Is there any storage collection of expired Craigslist job postings I could use? Perhaps another website that scrapes content from CL that I could search on? Looked at archive.org but it didn't seem to work. Thanks for anyone's help or hints. It has been very frustrating trying to figure this out. Kind of like trying to remember a pop song or an actor's name. I'm sure I will find it again . . .

    I'm glad you suggest that. I checked on it and no, it does not appear to be the website I remember. But it did remind me of a partial spelling of the URL. It started with something like axxcell or exccell or accell or . . . I cannot exactly say. It was listed as a business development job in Craigslist for a major city like NY or LA. I don't even know for sure if the website in the CL ad didn't redirect to the real website. But when I followed the link it went to a slick Flash presentation with detailed descriptions of clients, previous video commercials, studio equipment and cameras, etc. For the affiliate program there was a chart or schedule of potential commission levels, that's where I remember seeing the expensive "blocks of time" worth $20,000 per month and how the affiliate could earn 15% or more just for sending qualified referral leads to the closing team.

    Sorry if I am rambling on, but I have exhausted pretty much everything I can think of to search for this affiliate program, that's why I'm appealing to Digital Point to see if anyone has heard of something similar. Thanks!
