So I was one of the 5 winners of the Envato referral competition, came in 2nd place.  Many people wondered how many referrals it took and I’m sure some were wondering how the winners did it.  Then a new competition was launched where you can win $3,500 if you create the most popular bookmark collection (by votes).  So that got me thinking…

It’s pretty easy to create a collection of bookmarks but I wanted to go one step further and create something I think is of real value.  And that is a collection of files you can use to earn money with along with a How-to guide.  So I went about writing a 23 page report on how to make money from the Envato marketplace that I’m offering as a free download.

Inside I show you one of the methods I use to generate over a thousand dollars a month in commissions.

You can download it by clicking the link below.  It’s in PDF format.  So check it out and let me know what you think.

In the report I show screenshots of my earnings from last month (June 2009) which I think you might find interesting.

This Report Has Been Downloaded Over 1,271 Times Since June 2009!

 

Why am I asking for your name and email?.. Simply to keep you up-to-date on free updates to the report.  Don’t worry your info won’t be shared with anyone.  I hate spam as much or more than you do.

Commission Junction Now Offering Flash Banner Ads

Posted by | Affiliate Marketing | No Comments

Flash Hosting provides Commission Junction’s advertisers and publishers with a new type of link creative… Flash banner ads.

Feature short, non-interactive animated banner ads.

They automatically start, have continuous play and generally last approximately 5-15 seconds.

Use advertiser created Flash (.swf) files, which are created using Adobe Flash software or with other programs capable of writing .swf files.

Commission Junction hosts and tracks these links just like other link types. You can obtain link code for Flash links the same way you do for all other link types via the CJ Account ManagerTM.

What are the key benefits of Flash Hosting for publishers?

Flash Hosting simplifies the process of an advertiser creating and offering Flash links via the CJ Account Manager, meaning that more advertisers may be inclined to start offering Flash links. In addition, industry research points to rich media, such as Flash, driving higher conversion rates than their standard .GIF/.JPEG counterparts.

Who can use Flash links?

All publishers can utilize Flash links once their joined advertisers offer them.

What do clients need to do to begin using Flash Links?

Once an advertiser begins offering the Flash ads, you can immediately begin to obtain the Flash link code as you would for any other link type. Please note that you can only obtain HTML code for Flash links (no JavaScript).

When will Flash Ads be available?

Flash Ads will be available starting August 29, 2008.

Pepperjam Network Releases PepperjamAds

*Advertisement*

Pepperjam Network – “The Next Generation of Affiliate Marketing” Releases PepperjamAds. PepperjamAds is a way to display affiliate ads from multiple companies in one ad block, kinda like you see in your adsense block. So now you can rotate multiple affiliate ads in the same space instead of just one.

The ads are not contextual as I was told because they don’t rely on your website content to select which ads to display, you preselect the ads yourself. So you can run them along with adsense.

You simply sign up for multiple companies programs if you haven’t already and click on PepperjamAds in the top menu. Well I don’t have to type out how to do it when they’ve already created a helpful video…

You can see my PepperjamAds to the right. Super simple to set up and they rotate between 3 different companies ads I chose; text-link-ads.com, pepperjam and seomoz.

You can define how the ads look just like you do with adsense i.e. pick background, border, font colors to match your site.

I’m new to their network and just signed up because I was asked to review their service. After signing up though it only took about 5 minutes to be approved which is something I appreciate.. speed.

Their user interface once you log in is impressive. Everything is laid out very clearly.

The one thing I have a problem with is that the interface is set in reverse type, meaning white type on a black background. That’s a nono in design because it’s a lot harder to read. I’m sure they are going for an “edgy” look but readability is a lot more important.

Oh and they seem to have only 85 partners in their network which isn’t a lot. I didn’t find a whole lot to promote with this blog but I’m sure things will change. They look like they are only going to get better with time.

If you haven’t already done so go check them out.
