What about the Affiliate Junktion Program?

Filed Under Affiliate Programs (specific)

Before we step into the details, I have a question for you: do you think it is hard to start as an affiliate?

If I should answer that and I would say to you that it’s easy, then I would be a liar! Hello there, my name is Rob. Of course, when you read all the flashy affiliate sales pages on how easy all the programs are, you could get the impression that it is indeed very easy to start earning money as an affiliate. Something like “It’s costing you practically no time and anyone can do it!”, is what we usually read, surfing on the internet. Well, that’s a feel good fairytale, in my opinion. You sign up with some program, you feel very excited (again). Enthusiastic as a puppy, just released in the big new world, you start with some new affiliate program. And guess what? Again, it’s not what you thought it would be. After a few days or weeks, you don’t pay attention to the program anymore and that’s it. I was sick and tired of it, but I kept looking. Being new in the business (that’s what it is), I was aware that I could learn much from my mistakes. But wouldn’t it be nice, I thought, if there was a program that took me by the hand and would teach me exactly how to get started? Starting, learning and earning! That’s what I was looking for.

Fortunately, I think I’ve found such a program. It’s The Affiliate Junktion Program and they are promising $150,- per day within 30 days.

So, I was thinking at first, what’s the catch this time? After all, everything should be free…. The program should be free, the affiliate website should be free, their support should be superior and free. Well, everything until this far is true and further…the first domain name was free (an additional domain name costs US $6,50/year) and the hosting costs for the first year where compensated with NZ $75,- (yes, it turns out to be New Zealand Dollars after reading the affiliate agreement). Even free advertising credits with Google AdWords and Yahoo! These free credits are very welcome to “play and learn” with paid advertising.

Looking good, but again, what’s the catch? But on the other hand, it was all free, so I had nothing to lose. I became very curious and wanted some answers. So I signed up and gave it a shot. I found out that there was some sort of a little catch, but not really. To get started, you have to go through a few steps. And by the way, these steps are indeed very clear and simple. Some of them are even explained in a video tutorial. As a beginner, that helped a lot. Okay, what about “the so called little catch”…. well, you get a free website (it turns out to be one sales page with everything on it, that’s okay), but of course, it needs to be hosted somewhere. At this point, maybe you rather wanted to choose your own hosting service for your new free website.
If you want to get compensated for the hosting costs for the first year, then you must register with the suggested web hosting company (luckily it turns out to be a really good one). So, following the getting started steps, at one point you have to sign up with IPOWER for web hosting for one year. By the way, I just saw that right now, the IPOWER Pro Plan, which you need for the Affiliate Junktion Program, is only US $4,95/month. You have to trust me on this, my personal experience with them is super. Their support for instance, is great, and that is not only important as a beginner in the business. I use mostly the 24/7 live chat technical support.

Even one of the world’s most successful affiliate marketers, Rosalind Gardner, recommends IPower in her famous “Super Affiliate Handbook”. By the way, if you’re thinking about ways to upgrade yourself as an affiliate marketer, then this is a book you should consider buying. It’s a well written book (236 pages) with many tricks and techniques that can improve your results. I bought it, read it and loved it. If you want to learn from the best, really, then this book is highly recommended.

Okay, let’s go back to the so called little catch….

What’s really the catch if you get compensated for it with NZ $75,- after all? And above that, if you are a starter just like I was, you need a web hosting company anyway. The compensation of NZ $75,- will be added into your affiliate account, once you get started. Minimum payout of your affiliate earnings is NZ $150,-. So you have to earn at least another NZ $75,- on commissions, before you really have the compensation in your wallet. Do not worry, you will succeed in this, believe me, just follow the steps, have fun and see how the amount of money in your account is going up.

As mentioned earlier, there is another cool bonus in signing up with Google Adwords and Yahoo! Through signing up with this affiliate program you will get a credit code you can use with Yahoo! Research Marketing. If you directly sign up with Yahoo! you don’t get the credit, but signing up through this program, you get a credit code worth ₤50,- (yes, 50 British Pounds Sterling). That is of course much more than the US $50,- starting bonus credit you usually get, signing up through, for instance, your (new) web hosting company. But this program gives you the same bonus amount in British Pounds! Well, for signing up with Google Adwords you get US $30,-. The credit code is given to you by the web hosting company, after signing up with them. With these credits, you have the possibility to test for a short time, how it’s like to advertise with Google Adwords and Yahoo! No risk, no costs.

Would I recommend this free affiliate program to you? For the first time, I honestly say 100% YES! This free affiliate program is perfect if you want to start, learn and earn!

Have fun.

Cheers,

Rob.
