I've been thinking for a while that there is no really good place for someone to find a coder, designer, etc specifically for Affiliate and internet marketing.

I then began to think of putting up a Job board on my website just for that purpose. After thinking about it for a little bit longer, I decided to expand that to all affiliate marketing related jobs.

So without further ado, if you would like to look for or post (it's free) a job related to affiliate marketing, This is your place!

The current categories are:

• Advertiser Manager Jobs
• Affiliate Manage Jobsr
• Graphic Designer Jobs
• Internal Marketer Jobs

So today I finally got access to twitter lists! Yay! I love them, seriously!

I decided to compile a list of affiliate marketers and marketing people.

I tried to find everyone I could but obviously I didn't find everyone, so please comment below if you have more people to add!

Be sure to follow the list for all affiliate marketing updates on twitter.

What is HasOffers?

Often the natural progression for successful affiliates is to begin to run their own affiliate network. Although many have failed but a lot of really amazing affiliate networks have stemmed from this progression.

Some networks like Convert2media, Ads4dough, Eagle web assets, etc have been started by some super affiliates.

Normally starting an affiliate network costs tens of thousands of dollars and then you need the capital to be able to pay your affiliates. All in all, you should expect a network to cost you 6 figures or more in startup capital before you see a paycheck.

Direct track, one of the more popular affiliate network software packages out, cost (unconfirmed) $10,000 to start and around $1,000 per month.

Thankfully there is some good news now!! If you are looking for a way to create your own affiliate network, HasOffers is a good choice. It reduces the cost of starting a network and provides unbelievably good software.

First of all, the basic version is free. You get a subdomain.hasoffers.com and up to 250,000 clicks! Most people will want to run on their own domain which only costs 99 bucks a month and you get up to 500,000 clicks!! Sick! I almost think it's a bit under priced for everything you get. Here are some of the features that you get.

The design is very intuitive and logically set up, making for extreme ease of navigation even for those completely unfamiliar with setting up their own affiliate network. And even for those who are familiar with other similar sites, HasOffers is still definitely worth the time to look into as you will likely find it improves upon any other system you're using in several different ways.

Seriously, if you're wondering if it has a certain feature, it probably does plus more. So many that I'm not even going to try to list them. Instead, check out the site.

I've actually signed up for hasoffers to see how it works out a while ago after seeing it mentioned on Shoemoney.com's site. I've since considered using it for a couple offers that I am promoting locally to allow friends to promote the offers.

A couple of highlights about the Has Offers Affiliate Network Software.

It's very customizable so just check it out. It's set up in a way so that you can easily customize the color design, upload your own logo, and choose how to setup your offers and accept new affiliate accounts, amongst so much else.

HasOffers has made creating your own affiliate network easier than ever before. You can go create an account now while it is still free. It's a decision you will not regret, especially at this price of FREE!

About The Author Of This Post

Paul Coughlin is an affiliate at NeverBlueAds. This is his Bio.

Pay-per-click and affiliate marketing, along with blog marketing, have fascinated me for years. I’m a techy guy, but also love working in business. After years of doing all sorts of things around internet marketing, I focused on PPC and particularly CPA offers. That’s how I came across Michael Crouch over at NeverBlue. Interestingly, another friend Chris, also in the UK who I chat with over in Gauher Chaudry’s PPCFormula 2.0 forums, also says NeverBlue is his favorite (and most profitable) CPA network.

Michael from NeverBlueAds

Although most of the affiliate managers will call you, Michael was also very cheerful and helpful, which makes you feel good when you talk with him! The very first time we spoke, he took the time to find out what my areas of interest were, and recommended current offers. We always get asked the question ‘what verticals do you like to work in’ - I always say ‘the ones that are the most profitable’

I always ask for specific tips on what is converting well for PPC right now - Michael mentioned this week that Cellfish - an IQ quiz (phone/sms - NeverBlue exclusive) - is doing well, a number of affiliates are doing between 15k - 60k per day on social media traffic. Great info - so after checking the offer, I cheekily asked which creatives were doing best.. Michael was more than helpful - giving me specific id numbers, and recommending types of creatives for the different mediums..

As a last note, Michael also sends out a weekly spreadsheet with the latest and greatest performing offers - saves a huge amount of time.

About the Author of This Post

My name is Dan and I’ve been involved in affiliate marketing for about 2 years now. I originally started off doing review sites with SEO until I became bored and tired of waiting months for my sites to rise in the search engines. I was making about $6k per month from SEO, but that wasn’t enough anymore, and I was ready to take my business to the next level. About 6 months ago, I began to learn everything I could about PPC and CPA marketing. To make a long story short, PPC and CPA marketing has literally changed my life and I’m now doing over $1,500+ per day while working part time from home. I know that $1.5k per day might seem like chump change to some people, but it’s more money than I’ve ever dreamed possible before entering the world of affiliate marketing.

Brittany Kimel From Clickbooth

I think one of the biggest factors in my success has been the relationships I’ve established with my affiliate managers. There are dozens and dozens of different CPA networks to choose from, but trust me when I say that not all of them are created equal. For the sake of this post, I’m going to talk about my favorite affiliate manager and how she’s really gone up and beyond the call of duty to help me get to the point where I am today… (drum roll)…… Brittany Kimel from Clickbooth.

Within days of signing up at Clickbooth, I was contacted by Brittany for the first time. I was pretty impressed at first, because I’m not really use to affiliate managers going out of their way to see if I needed anything to get started. I’m currently a member of 10+ affiliate networks, and I’ve still never even talked to my half of my affiliate managers to this day. For the affiliate managers I have talked to, I was usually always the one that made the effort to make the first contact. Therefore, I had a good first impression for Clickbooth when I was contacted by Brittany within days of signing up.

I’ve been working with Brittany now for a couple months, and she has really bent over backwards to help me get started in anyway she can. Brittany really understands affiliate marketing and the industry as a whole, and she has been one of the most knowledgeable affiliate managers that I’ve worked with. I’ve talked to certain affiliate managers before, and I could tell that they weren’t the best person to talk about marketing strategies with. All affiliate managers should understand stuff like conversion rates, EPC, etc… but not all of them understand the affiliate marketing strategies behind promoting these offers. Brittany is one of the better marketing strategists that I’ve talked to, and her advice has definitely helped me get to the point to where I am today.

One of the other things that really stood out to be about Clickbooth is how they are making sure that their affiliates and merchants are both compliant. In the long run, this is going to help the affiliate marketing industry as a whole, and it seems as if Clickbooth is leading this movement. Brittany went over my sites with me and really helped me to make sure my sites had the necessary disclaimers to ensure that I was protected. I think that some affiliates were concerned that having these disclaimers on their sites would hurt their conversions, but this has definitely not been the case for me. My site conversions have not decreased at all, in fact, they’ve actually increased since the time the disclaimers were placed.

On one particular weekend, I had to leave town to attend a wedding, and I wasn’t going to have access to a computer for nearly 3 days. I was just getting started on a new campaign and I was pretty nervous about how it was going to do since I wasn’t available to monitor it closely. The Friday before I left town, I told Brittany that I was going to leave town for a few days and I wasn’t going to have access to a computer. To my surprise, she actually offered to text message me my sales stats and conversions throughout the weekend while I was gone. How many affiliate managers do you know that would text message you 3 times per day to update you on your campaign stats on their DAYS OFF? Exactly… probably none… Keep in mind, I wasn’t a super affiliate by any means, and I really didn’t deserve any special treatment at that time as I was just getting started with Clickbooth and I was barely sending any volume at that time. This is one of the many ways that Brittany Kimel has really bent over backwards to help me in anyway I can. It didn’t matter if I was sending 3 sales a day, or 103 sales per day.

Brittany is always available for contact throughout the day, and she is more than happy to help me with finding top offers for a particular niche, discuss marketing strategies, or even getting faster payment terms in order to help me keep my campaigns going. Anytime I need a tracking pixel placed on the merchant’s landing page… no problem! In fact, I feel bad because I’ve actually had her change my tracking pixels 3 different times on 3 different merchants in just the same week. I was testing different keyword tracking platforms, therefore, my tracking pixel needed to be replaced for each new software. I’m sure Brittany is a busy woman throughout the day, but she was more than happy to continuously replace my tracking pixels like a revolving door.

Overall, the moral of this story is that not all CPA networks and affiliate managers are created equal, and if you’re looking for an affiliate manager that will really bend over backwards to help you out, then look no further than Brittany Kimel from Clickbooth. It doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie and just getting started, or if you’re already a super affiliate. Brittany will definitely be there to help you every step of the way, and will go beyond the call of duty to help make sure you succeed.

If you’re interested in having Brittany as your affiliate manager for Clickbooth, you’re welcome to sign up at Clickbooth.

At Adtech:San Francisco I had an interview with Wes from Tracking202.com. Wes hit's some points on things such as scaling your campaigns, growing your business, etc.

Here is the email Wes sent about the interview:

Watch the video here.

We had a pleasure to interview Jonathan Volk, one of our very good friends, and a very successful affiliate marketer. Jonathan is the founder of Surge Marketing, a performance marketing company.

Jonathan is best known for his blog "JonathanVolk.com" where he blogs about tips & strategies people can use to increase their PPC marketing efforts.

Watch the video here.

During Ad:Tech SF 2009, Jonathan and I had a lengthy interview about scaling PPC campaigns. Specifically we asked how he has scaled to over $300,000+/month in commissions, to learn how he did it watch the video! To read more of his stuff, visit Jonathan's blog, or follow him on twitter at: twitter.com/jonathanvolk.

Thanks to Wes and all the 202 crew! I had fun doing an interview and was nervous so left a few details out.

Couple of things I would have added: Success relies largely on relationships; relationships with affiliates, affiliate managers, and God.

About the Author Of This Post

My name is Justin. I'm a full-time affiliate marketer from San Francisco, CA. and the creator of affiliate marketing blog aggregator Affbuzz. When I was first starting I joined a few of the big-name networks and after a few calls with the Affiliate Managers, I got the feeling that unless I was sending them a ton of leads each month, I was nobody to them. That's when I started joining a few smaller networks, where the AM's had less people to deal with and more time to spend helping me. Taking the time to build good relationships with these AM's, has played a vital role in helping me build my business.

Eleah Portillo from AKMG

I have several incredible AM's that all deserve a write-up, but the affiliate manager I'd like to introduce you today is Eleah Portillo from AKMG, a Santa Monica based ad network that treats their affiliates like royalty and gives out sweet skateboard decks at conferences.

Eleah separates herself from other AM's by genuinely wanting to see all of her affiliates succeed. She continuously goes out of her way to get to know me, understand my business, what's working for me and how I prefer to advertise. She's not the type of AM that emails out a list of "top converters" followed up by a once-a-week phone call where she has to look over last week's notes to remember who you are and what you're all about. She's attentive and that helps me make more money.

Once you get something going with AKMG, she'll fight tooth and nail for you to get the highest payouts (and bear in mind standard AKMG payouts are higher than most networks) as well as help brainstorm other possible advertising angles. She'll keep an eye on new offers and give you a heads-up if something comes a long that she feels you can rock.

The number one thing I love about working with Eleah is that she's available on AIM at almost all times, including late nights which is when I get most of my work done. Around 5pm I see most of my Aff. Managers go idle for the day; last night Eleah was boosting my acai payouts at 1:15am. She even helped answer some questions while she was laying poolside in Vegas celebrating her birthday.

Apply For AKMG

AKMG's a top-notch network that strives to maintain excellent relationships with their affiliates and Eleah has really worked closely with me to ensure success. So, if you're an affiliate and not working with AKMG yet, be sure to apply today. For faster approval, request Eleah and mark somewhere on the application that "Justin from Affbuzz" told you to sign up.

This is the first official post for Affiliate Manager Saturdays. This week I will be writing my own post and next week will be written by Justin from AffBuzz.com featuring his favorite affiliate manager.

Featured Affiliate Manager

This first affiliate manager for Affiliate Manager Saturdays is my very favorite affiliate manager Ryan Sessler.

Who is Ryan Sessler And Why Is He The Featured Affiliate Manager?

Ryan Sessler is my Affiliate Manager at AzoogleAds. Through the years that I have been working as an affiliate, Ryan Sessler has been one who has pushed me to my full potential.

It first started out when Ryan heard I was earning a couple hundred bucks a day. He approached me and said that he was willing to work with me on offers and help me get up to the next level. The thing I appreciated about Ryan was that he wasn't like a lot of the other affiliate managers who would call me and say, "I want you to try x offer..." and push useless crap on me. He got to know my business and would tell me ways on how to improve it.

Over the years, Ryan and I have built a great business relationship and he has helped me grow my business by doing what affiliate managers should do but doing it with excellence.

Because of this relationship, any offer I can run through Azoogleads, I do.

If you're looking for a great affiliate manager, asking for Ryan would be a great idea! Ryan has been promoted recently so to get him as your affiliate manager might be a bit tough but if you run a good amount of revenue, you can contact me and I can try to see what I can do.

If you have not signed up for AzoogleAds yet, I advise you doing so now.
