Joy of bingo Affiliate program Includes Wink bingo, bingo fabulous and posh bingo

Joy of bingo have recently launched their brand new affiliate programme which encompasses three great bingo affiliate brands. These include the wink bingo affiliate programme, posh bingo affiliate programme and the bingo fabulous referral program.  This culmination of three affiliate programmes on one platform has a number of benefits.  These include simplified reporting which saves time and an opportunity to earn more revenue.

 This is because joy of bingo takes the revenue share across all three of their platforms and not just one. The tiers are as follows:

Now if your traffic is semi decent then you can make a real killing with this program. You have three sites that convert well to promote and you can grab all the creative you could ever need from one place.  However if you ever need any more creative or help then you can just contact Vanessa or Greg and they would be happy to help. I know this first hand as I am always asking pestering them for things and they are always quick to help.

Affiliate Marketing is a lot like a sea saw

At the start of the year I vowed to spend more time with my family and to start each day with the aim of adding at least one positive feature to one of my sites each day. I vowed to stop wasting time and to stay positive and on the most part I think I have achieved this.  A good (or bad depending on how you look at it) indicator is how I have spent my time more on my sites and less on this blog - on the whole this has paid off and commissions are on the up. But this is not an ideal solution.

This brings me on to my sea saw analogy. If you spend more time on one thing then it will improve and rise up and if you spend less time on something it will enevitibly suffer as a consequence.  Hence the lack of posts on this blog! (yeah this has suffered).

My advice is not to take on too much at once and really focus on one project at a time before starting a new one. Affiliate marketing is long term and you can not expect to make something work overnight. This is why it is important not to spread yourself to thin and only take on a work load you are comfortable with. I have five main sites that I work on each day, I add fresh content (or have it written for me) and make sure each site is ticking along nicely.

I used to try this with 20 plus sites and as you might imagine this really does not work. This balance will be diferent for each person but the main thing to remember is to focus on one thing at a time. Then your sea saw will be more in balance!

Advertising Opportunity on Gadgets and Gizmos

The busiest time of the year is fast approaching and I am in the process of filling the fixed advertising positions on my gadgets based site. The site has just three fixed advertising slots available. There is one large 468 banner at the top of the page and two smaller 125 banners at the side of the page.

These adverts appear on every single page of the site, so you will be getting maximum exposure.  The site is content rich and three to five articles are added every day of the week. Some articles are product reviews and some are gadget and technology based news. The addition of daily content brings in fresh visitors and repeat visitors each day.

The site currently receives 35,000 unique visitors per month and this will double as we get closer to christmas and the following sales. The price for the top banner (which is on every single page) is £600 per month and the smaller banners are £450 per month based on a three month purchase. The price is fixed fee.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this site.

Update:

The site has a pagerank of 4 (if you like that sort of thing :-))

Sun Bingo Take Note

I have been a bingo affiliate for around four years now and have inevitably run in to a few problems along the way.  This includes pushy affiliate managers, programme down time and just down right aweful programmes which I would never work with again. 

Now, I work with Premier affiliate network and I have to say they have made the sun bingo affiliate programme very easy to work with and profits have grown gradually every month for me, which is great! I would love to thank PAN for their hard work.  I am sure all the people promoting the sun through buy.at will feel the same.

Unfortuenetly this praise stands for nothing as the sun have made the decision to pull their affiliate programs temporarily.  This will annoy a lot of affiliates (including me) and people may think twice about promoting the sun in the future.  After all many affiliates will be out of pocket (even after compensation) and will lose all the rev share players they have built up forever.  In my opinion this is not a great way to treat your affiliates! 

We had to wait a long time for the sun affiliate platform in the first place and it only lasted about eight months.  I would love to know what other affiliates think about this farce.

Tech Merchants and Networks send me some free stuff for extra exposure

As some of you may know, I run various affiliate sites including strong sites in the bingo and gadgets niches.  In the past various merchants and companies have sent me free stuff and in return I have tested and written reviews and posts about the products.  It’s a win win situation as you gain exposure and I gain free stuff!

This request is not to dissimilar from Kieron’s send me free stuff and I will blog about you plea.  My request comes in preparation of a few trips I have planned this summer culminating in a two week break to New York.  This would mean your product would get a thorough testing in a exciting location (I am thinking cameras, tech toys etc).  You don’t even have to give me the product if you want as I can always send it back once I have arrived home (although I do like true freebies for keeps!).

If you would like to send me some free stuff then please feel free to contact me including details of your affiliate program where appropriate.
