NEW - Make $$ with our Referral Program

We are poised. We truly are. We are ready to handle the influx. We have our new software in place. We have our shop in place. We have our staff in place. We’re ready! I’m so excited to begin this new year! I know, its a little disgusting how excited I get. But there’s a lot of website owners out there who need help, and we can do it! Not only that – we’re NICE about it!

Also, in a ridiculously well-timed coincidence I just received a check for $62 from an affiliate of mine yesterday. And what did I do to promote them? Nothing except that sidebar ad you see in the sidebar for Genesis. Referral (aka Affiliate) income provides a very easy second income stream for almost any webmaster.

On to Making Money

We introduced a referral program through our newsletter and for Retainer clients just before the holidays. And now we’re opening it up to you! Here’s how it works:

You sign up here.
You copy the code here.
You paste it into a sidebar or post.
Your reader clicks on your ad/code.
Your reader purchases something from us within 60 days of that original click.
You make 30% of that purchase.

Attention: Given our recent drop in prices, I’m going to hold onto the 30% for as long as possible. But at some point this will decrease to 20% and remain there.

Referral Links & Ads & Posts

We’ve made it easy for you to refer your friends. These images – and the code you need to copy and paste are in the Referral Pages.

Desperately Seeking WP Services

We’ve included the following text links (these are edited to include your unique referral code in your referral control panel):

And lastly, we’ve included this post that you can post as is, use as an outline, or edit and make it your own:

They See Dollar Signs – I Know It! {Post Excerpt}
There are a few areas in my life where I have to trust someone. My car for instance. What I know about maintaining my car could fit on this page. Ahem. Paragraph. They see me coming and start seeing dollar signs, I’m sure of it! This post is for those of us who have to trust a web master or maintenance person for our websites.

5 Tips for Making Money with Referral Ads

Referral ads are a great way to create another stream of income from your blog. Each and every one of these tips will increase your revenue from referral ads. Do them all and see what you can make!

It is important to pick those ads that would benefit your readers. Our referral program will make you the most money if you post it in a place where the audience has or wants to have a WordPress website.
Since most of our business comes from recommendations it is a good idea to post about your experience with our company or what you’ve heard to give the ad your personal recommendation.
Referral ads do best on pages with similar content. If you have a blogging 101 section, or a WordPress Tips section – our ads will do well there.
All ads do best just before the content begins or within the content itself. Warning – this is aggressive ad placement. If your readers will not appreciate an aggressive advertising campaign try the other proven locations – below the navigation bar, or after your signature.
