Make Money With Google Affiliate Network

I happened to join Google Affiliate Network for becoming an affiliate at DIYSEO, an SEO solution for small business owners.

Google Affiliate Network needs you to have a preexisting Adsense account which I had and my application was approved within a day.

Once I logged in I was surprised to see the number of advertisers Google Affiliate Network had. There are a lot of products that you can sell with your payment in just one account.

What Is Google Affiliate Network?

Google Affiliate Network is self explanatory. It is an affiliate network that allows you to an advertiser’s banner or text link on your site. When a transaction, such as a sign-up or purchase, occurs through one of these affiliate links, Google Affiliate Network will track the sale and pay you a commission.

What Are The Requirements?

You need to have a website with audience. Google says

We encourage you to consider Google Affiliate Network if you:

  • Manage a site that attracts a desirable audience.
  • Can test advertising offers and nurture the most productive relationships.
  • Are an expert in driving and converting visitor traffic.
  • Adhere strictly to Google Affiliate Network quality standards and advertiser-specific terms.

It further mentions

We’ve found that Google Affiliate Network tends to yield greater benefits to publishers who create niche content, manage loyalty and rewards programs, aggregate coupons and promotions, or manage social media.

So if you have a website you can potentially apply for joining the network. Google Affiliate Network even accepts publishers outside of the United States.

Is There Any Fee?

A good affiliate network is always fre of charges to join. There’s no cost to participating in Google Affiliate Network.

How To Apply?

To sign up for Google Affiliate Network:

1. If needed, apply to Google AdSense.
2. Visit the Google Affiliate Network sign-up page.
3. Provide your AdSense user name and publisher ID.
4. Provide your website information, promotional details, and other profile information to create your Google Affiliate Network account.

Typically you would receive a confirmation or rejection when the review process is complete. That usually should happen within 24 hours.

I am still restricting my campaigning with DIYSEO but I am considering joining few publishers more.

Would let you know.

Taking Off Adsense Ads On This Blog

adsense-offThat statement in headline may not be entirely right but yes, i am taking off most of the Adsense ads on this blog. I have decided not to publish Adseense ads in my posts. There might be few left in header or sidebar on some specific pages or post but not in the main content.

Why am I doing this?

There are multiple factors which have built over the period. Most important of them is decreased click through rate. I have observed that over a period the response rate to these ads have diminished. I think this has happened due to two reasons. [Read more...]

Aweber Announces Changes In Its Affiliate Program

aweberRecently Aweber announced few changes in their affiliate program. They have added many new features and some of them are very welcome.

This change has been based on a recent survey conducted by Aweber and includes

All commissions will be raised to 30%.

Aweber has raised the commission it used to pay its affiliates. This includes existing 1st tier commissions of 20%.This means more money from your sales efforts.

Second tier commissions are being phased out

I do not like this one. You get hit badly if you are making a good money from your sub affiliate sales. apparently this has been done to meet Paypal’s terms of service and enable paying of affiliates via Paypal.

One Year Cookie

Your affiliate cookie will be a 1 year, first visit cookie. This seems to be too much as people are whining over it.
PayPal

This again is great move. No more checks in the boxes. Paypal would handle it now.  All affiliates will be paid once a month, on the first of every month.
Minimum Payout
Minimum check payout will be $30.00 for US affiliates and $50.00 for affiliates not based in the US.  I do not think there is much change here.

There are certain good fearures

Passion For The Dollar-Secret To Make Millions

How would it sound if I say you can make millions if you can make one dollar.

Would you laugh that statement away?

No!

If you are able to make one dollar, you are far ahead of the race who do not know or do not try.

It is not a simple journey from one dollar to million dollars. But more passionately you do it, lesser time it would take.

Even if it takes few years, would you not try it. If I were you, I would.

Do not undervalue one dollar.

A million dollar amount is made by a single dollar accumulating million times.

Instead keep your eye on your target- Million Dollar.

After you made your first dollar, you have a method in hand which generates money. Only you need to work to find the method and apply it all over.

Again and again.

Each time you do it you need to test what worked and what did not.

Imagine when you earn a dollar hundred times you already have made $100.

How many people are able to do that?

It does not matter if it took two months.

You must jubilate for you have created money.

Never loose that enthusiasm, that passion to creat money.

You are on road to create your millions.

Look! there are many methods that can make you money online. It could be affiliate marketing, it could be content publishing, it could be a service and so on.

For you the most important method is the one that worked for you. All you need to do is to repeat and refine your method and apply it at bigger level.

To make it big you need to do few things.

Documentation

Documentation would make a living record and proof of your doings that would translate into your success story. Documenting helps to review later and find what works and what does not.

Document everything you do. Every little process that you do or implement should be recorded. You may notr it down on your computer or you may write it on your diary.

Build Assets

Assets are the elements which you would use to escalate your business. Creating assets provide scalability. Your own products like ebooks are your assets, your list is your asset, websites you acquire/buy/create become your assets, articles you write and publish become your assets and so on… . I hope you get the idea.

As you accumulate assets, they provide more power in your hands. They provide power to make better offers, make better JV deals and create better branding.

Build Your Business

Everything you do must act toward growth of your business. You must create a central hub around which your business processes revolve.

Never Loose Passion

Just remember the jubilation and joy that your first dollar gave you. you must keep that passion alive. Pursue every dollar like your first one. Never slacken and you would make millions before your target time.
