Wade Tonkin of ChristianAffiliateMarketers.com interviewed me on the book at the Affiliate Summit 2008 in Las Vegas, and the interview has just been posted at Viddler.com

Here it is:

It was a pleasure chatting with you, Wade, and thank you for uploading this.

Several merchants whose programs we manage run affiliate promos this months, and I have decided to post them here.

** BelenGift.com’s Promo [program info]

• If you have not yet referred any sales to this affiliate program, drive your first one in by the end of July, and I will pay you a $10 GenoBucks bonus (cash deposited into your affiliate account) on top of your commission.
• If you have already been active with the program, show me 5 or more sales in the course of July, and I will increase your commission by 40% on all of your July sales. 

** GourmetStation.com’s Promo [program info]

This merchant has (a) extended their April-June double commission promo, and (b) will also award any Four Course Meal for Two to every affiliate that sends 5 or more sales by the end of the month.

** HalloweenMart.com’s Promo [program info]

• Increase your sales (compared to your June performance with this program) by 1/3 - get a 25% commission increase on all July sales.
• Show a 1/2 increase — get a 50% commission increase.

** M-Rock.com’s Promo [program info]

Refer at least one sale to this program in July - get your commission level raised to 14% until the end of the summer.

More promos to come shortly. Stay tuned…

Starting from today, we are managing the Hemorrhoids-Help.com affiliate program.

The program is already showing an amazing $90-100 EPC, a beautiful 9% conversion ratio, and a 0% reversal rate. 

However, we deem it necessary to re-design the merchant’s website to improve these statistics even further. The re-design will be handled under AM Navigator’s supervision; and the new website is expected to be up by mid-July. In the meantime, we have put this affiliate program on Auto Deposit (to ensure there is never an interruption in payments to affiliates), applied for the ShareASale-exclusive status (as the program is run on the ShareASale network only), and introduced the commission structure that is now tied to the amount of gross monthly sales an affiliate sends in:

Default - 15%
$1,000+ - 17%
$2,000+ - 19%
$3,000+ - 20%

We invite you to join this program.

Expect major positive changes in the nearest future!

This is our 30-day notice to inform all BrandLet.com’s affiliates that starting from 30 July 2008 the management of the BrandLet.com’s affiliate program will be brought fully in-house.

From then on your new contact for this program will be Mr. Ashish Selarka who may be reached at affiliates /at/ brandlet [dot] com

It has been a true pleasure working with Ashish over the past 9 months, and we wish this wonderful program all the best!!

A record-breaking sale has been referred by a HomelivingStyle program affiliate in the course of this week. Total commissions paid out: $1,044.54

Here’s the report for this two-part sale (where the customer first placed a $8400 order, and then returned back 13 minutes later to add $3206 worth of merchandise to his “set”):

I sincerely congratulate the hardworking affiliate that sent this two-phase order in, and to make things a bit more fun, I have started a contest where anyone can win $80 cash for guessing the products that were sold. See full details of the contest, and participate in it at ABestWeb.

BelenGift.com affiliate program now tracks phone orders that come through affiliates too.

Thank you, ShareASale, for the beautiful script!

We’ve enjoyed working with this affiliate program, bringing its conversion level to a steady 3-4% level with $50-60 EPC.

However, starting from 12 June 2008 the management of the ComfyKangaroo.com’s affiliate program will be transferred to KGM Direct, and your new contact for this program will be Michael at michael@comfykangaroo.com

We wish CK and KGM Direct all the best in developing this program further.

Looking forward to the new sign-ups, and sales!

Effective 05/25/2008 we will no longer be managing the 24kCloseouts.com affiliate program. It was a pleasure jump-starting it. Starting from 25 May the program management will be fully handled in-house.

We wish 24kCloseouts the best of luck in developing their affiliate program further.
