Pepperjam Network is one of the most progressive affiliate networks online today and a personal favorite of mine.   Back in Sep 2008 I wrote a short Pepperjam Network review covering some of the unique backend control panel  features of their affiliate network as well as a quick glimpse of their selection of niche clientele.  Today I just wanted to jot a quick note concerning their little known Blogger Incentive Program.

So what is the Pepperjam Network Blogger Incentive Program?

Most Pepperjam Network Publishers already know Pepperjam offers a generous Publisher Referral Program, which pays publishers from $5-7 for every new publisher referral:

However, you can also earn an extra $50/month from Pepperjam Network via their Blogger Incentive Program.

Pepperjam realizes the power of bloggers and has gone the extra mile to make being a publisher with them a little more beneficial.  The Pepperjam Network Blogger Incentive Program is an incentive program whereby any PJN publisher/blogger will receive $10 for each post you make that promotes Pepperjam Network or any Pepperjam Network tool.

So how much can you earn with the Pepperjam Network Blogger Incentive Program?

Publishers/bloggers are allowed to post 5 such posts a month for an easy $50.  No, you’re obviously not going to get rich off of the Pepperjam Network Blogger Incentive Program but it’s still a solid $5o bucks in your pocket every month.

So how does Pepperjam Network know you made a post?

Easy.  The only thing Pepperjam requires for you to do in order to receive credit for a post is e-mail bloggers[at]pepperjamnetwork.com prior to making your post to gain approval of the topic.  This obviously enables the Pepperjam team to eliminate spam.

So what else can I blog about with the Pepperjam Network Blogger Incentive Program?

Aside from reviewing the Pepperjam Network itself you have a slew of topics to choose from.  Check out the Pepperjam Network Blog for the latest news from Pepperjam or you may want to consider blogging about any of their clients to earn some easy side revenue with the Pepperjam Network Blogger Incentive Program:

Back in 2006 Twitter was a flourishing new social networking / micro blogging site. Today, twitter is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide by Alexa’s web traffic analysis. Although estimates of the number of daily users vary because the company does not release the number of active accounts, a February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits. In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009.

So are YOU using Twitter?  Back in 2007 I posted an entry titled, ‘What’s All the Twitter About“, before what seemed like everyone on the planet decided to get a Twitter account.  I wasn’t sure how long Twitter would last but as it turns out it’s usefulness would mature over time.

Today, Twitter is used for numerous personal and business applications such as:

• Personal and Corporate Branding
• Event and Special Promotion Announcements
• Customer Service
• Feedback Requests
• Petitions
• Traffic Generation
• and much more

So let’s capitalize on the success of Twitter and help your affiliate program listings on Top Affiliate.  If you currently have a Twitter account simply cut and paste your Twitter RSS feed link into your dierctory listing.

Sure, it would be more beneficial to use your website RSS feed but if you don’t have a blog a Twitter feed will work just fine.  Please checkout the below screenshot to see where you can add an RSS feed to your listing on Top Affiliate.

So there you have it.  This should keep your affiliate listing page fresh in the search engines.  Happy micro blogging!

When Pepperjam launched Pepperjam Network earlier this year I was still in Iraq and only had a chance to sign up for the new affiliate network.  After returning back from my deployment and getting around to catching up on an obscene amount of backlog I finally got around to poking around the Pepperjam Network.

Logging into the affiliate control panel I was immediately impressed with the technology and detail.  Everything you need to run a successful affiliate marketing campaign is immediately at your disposal in an aesthetically pleasing layout.

Pepperjam has secured some HUGE merchant/retailer names.  Looking through their list of advertisers you’ll see many of the same wildly popular advertisers you love to promote and some interesting new advertisers in very specialized niche markets you may not be familiar with like Andy’s Airplanes.

In my opinion one of the best features of this affiliate network is pepperjamADS.

“pepperjamADS is an affiliate marketing widget that you can use to serve customized contextual ads from one or multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time. The ad units come in various shapes and sizes. You can mix and mash ads from any of your merchant partners. For instance, you can create a fashion widget by selecting various ads from multiple fashion merchants. Likewise, you can create a specific widget with ads from any one merchant.”

If you haven’t already signed up for the Pepperjam Network…what are you waiting for?  Pepperjam’s 2008 Inc. 500 ranking is #70 with three-year revenue growth of 2,447.5%.  Pepperjam ranks as one of the top 100 fastest growing privately-held companies in the United States of America!

Platform-A, http://www.platform-a.com, AOL’s digital advertising division, recently announced the launch of an affiliate marketing solution that links the buy.at affiliate network to the widget-based marketing tools of wildly popular Goowy Media, Inc.

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years…Goowy Media, Inc. develops innovative online products and services that provide simple, intuitive tools for managing your digital life and expressing yourself on the web.  Their most popular products are yourminus.com and goowy webtop

This progressive move by AOL enables web publishers, like you and me, to generate additional revenue from a combination of affiliate, widget and viral marketing.  It will be exciting to see how Platform-A advertisers integrate/syndicate this new capability into their customized widgets for your blog, website, and even your desktop!  Very cool stuff indeed.

For more than a little while now I haven’t had too many good things to say about these blasted Widgets!  They seemed to just take up real advertising space and bleed my hard-earned web traffic.  However, I will gladly test these viral advertiser generated widgets out on my network of blogs/sites so my visitors and customers can snatch them up and redistribute them to the far corners of the Web.  Just think about the applications…MySpace, FaceBook, etc.

Lynda Clarizio, President of Platform-A states, “This solution combines the best of affiliate and widget advertising in a solution that benefits publishers and advertisers alike.  Publisher revenue potential, brand exposure for the advertiser, and potential conversions grow virally each time the widget is downloaded by a consumer.”

I agree Lynda!  Now this is what we collectively mean by the moniker Web 2.0 people!
