make millions online ... or $7 ...

Although I hear all the time about affiliate marketers making a living by blogging and using other Web 2.0 technology, I'm happy to be able to pay for my high-speed internet and a few other monthly household bills with the $100-300 I usually get from my various pursuits on the sprawling Web world.

Hopefully I can double that in the coming months with a new relationship:

A revolution in affiliate marketing has arrived:
Pepperjam Network

Pepperjam is new and different. Unlike established performance marketing companies like Commission Junction and LinkShare (both well worth joining, in my experience) Pepperjam is offering $7 for each new publisher you refer.


What is a publisher? Well, I am, and more than likely you are as well.

Do you have a blog with Wordpress or Blogger? Do you have a Squidoo account? (You should.) Do you post on message boards that allow HTML and commercial links? If so, you can be a publisher too.

• First, you join the Pepperjam network as a publisher.

• Then, you get your own code to post online where allowed.

NOTE: You're not just promoting Pepperjam ... there are hundreds of companies to choose from, including VistaPrint, AngiesList and more!

• All that's left to do is watch your bank or PayPal account for your commission ... right?

Well, there is a bit more to affiliate marketing, or performance marketing if you will. Self-promotion is the biggest part. Get out there, get people talking. Don't always agree with everything that everyone says. Stand out. People might not love you, but they'll think about you. ;)


How much do these affiliates pay? Well, it varies.

For instance, ChristianCafe.com pays 40% commission on sales. Booksfree.com pays a flat $18 bounty for new sign-ups.

Promote the products and services you choose ... the ones that are related to your Web content are most effective! If you're all about candy, promote Jelly Belly! Or, maybe Playboy Store is more your style ... go wild!


Hold up. You said they're new ... how do I know they will last, and that I'll get paid for my time?

Pepperjam Breaks Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies in the United States According to Inc. Magazine

Pepperjam’s 2008 Inc. 500 ranking is #70 with three-year revenue growth of 2,447.5%. Pepperjam is also the fastest growing affiliate marketing network on the list.

As companies shift marketing attention and dollars to the Internet, search-engine optimization, affiliate marketing, and online media buying become increasingly important.

Pepperjam's CEO, Kristopher Jones: "Whether it was eBay shocking the world just a few months back after launching an affiliate program on Pepperjam Network to long-time Pepperjam clients such as Guthy Renker Corporation (thanks Dave!) and 1-800-PetMeds (thanks Alex!) that have been with Pepperjam for almost 4 years, the committment and support we continue to receive from our client base is outstanding!"

That's enough for me.

(Well, that, and the seven bucks I'll get if you click this link and join.)
