Design Banners For ShoeMoney Tools Affiliate Program - Win Prizes
We are going to kickoff the affiliate program for shoemoney tools on Monday where users can earn $75 per referral and I am looking for some sweet looking banners to add to the promotional resources.
So we are going to have a mini contest…
Make 4 banners animated or otherwise of the following sizes:
125×125px
120×600px
160×600px
468×60px
Formats can be jpg, png, gif or swf. Please keep size within reason.
Zip them up and mail them to tigh at shoemoney.com
Here is a higher res shoemoney logo if you need one
You only have a couple days. In order to be eligible all banners must be submitted by midnight August 30th.
The will put up the 468×60px ones on shoemoney.com and let users vote. You can be creative with your copy but so far we like “Tools That Make You Money” kind of theme.
The top user will receive a ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION TO SHOEMONEY TOOLS, a brand new flip mino, and of course some shoemoney gear.
Lets see what you got!

Shoe, i take it you’re logo & pics from this site will be fair game for this?

lol, copyright violation against whom? Shoemoney? The person running this very contest? I wish my image skills were up to par, else I’d join in. Guess I’ll just watch from the sidelines:)
Four graphics for a Mino and shwag is pretty cheap, but I’m a sucker for free stuff. I’m in.

what do you suggest ?

Jeremy Schoemaker Reply:
August 28th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
actually tbh we are always looking for good graphics people and put them to work
Just ask Nate from UBD….. so doing well in this could lead to a lot of work let alone showcasing your work for… about 30k + people to see

a reasonable price for work i guess!

Maybe throw in a free subscription for 6 months or more to the tools program. That would be worth it along with eveything else mentioned.

nice
Shoe can you give us a higher res logo other than the one in your header?
[Reply]
Not too good at making banners but ill give it a shot!
[Reply]
too bad I suck at design…at least I will get the chance to admire others people skills.

Me too!!! But, it should be interesting to see the designs!
[Reply]
Shoe - since, time is a major factor here it would help if you would supply an eps version of your logo so we don’t have to recreate it.
[Reply]
TylerC Reply:

The one supplied is more than big enough for the ad spaces we are making.
Just use the color select tool in photoshop to strip the white out and you have a transparent bg
[Reply]
I could get a friend whos amazing at graphics to do some stuff but the deadline is way too short.
[Reply]
Good contest but I can’t join as I am not a very good designer
[Reply]
Wish I would have spent some more time in design class. Best of luck to all that enter.
[Reply]
Might wait for this to come out instead of doing the $50 a month for PPC Coach as it seems a little expensive for a monthly fee.
[Reply]
Are you in Central Time Zone over there, for all us €pean’s

[Reply]
sweet way to get a ton of banners.. probably more effective than a DP contest and definitely cheaper!
[Reply]
shoemoney,
this is not related, however, I regularly use your serps tool and it says “abuse” on it. this message has been displayed for the last week. wanted to give you a heads up

ya it was getting hammered pretty good from a few people so I disabled it for a bit until I have time to rate limit it.

Hope it comes back soon especially with google not showing link:domain all the time now.

Wish I could do design, but I’ll settle for winning the MacBook AIr contest.
[Reply]
TylerC Reply:
August 29th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Maby he should give the winner of this contest one as well!!!
[Reply]
Yes the MacBook contest….hmmm….guess i’ll have to stay up all night again designing banners
[Reply]
I am watching it, that would be a fun contest.
[Reply]
I am gonna win this contest. thank you shoemoney.
[Reply]
This is really useful for designers., especially for those who run their websites.
[Reply]
Hmmm 12 midnight USA… that gives me till Saturday morning. ;D
[Reply]
Great little contest. You know what I like best about Shoemoney? It’s not the guy behind this blog or the content. It’s definitely the contests!!
[Reply]
Shoe, so only one top level prize or the others get some moo too…
[Reply]
I’m in! I will send my entries working on it now!
[Reply]
The competition is so good. The truth, I really can not draw banners. -(((
[Reply]
Jeremy, does this contest have any theme or something or I can make any logo that I want??
(I’m IN!!!)
[Reply]
Dang I wish I had popped my head in yesterday - it’s going to be a scramble but I’ll have a crack.
Any chance of a logo in vector format? someone else asked for EPS but Illustrator would also be just dandy.
[Reply]
Just curious, why don’t you go with a recurring commission instead of one time?
You’d get more business that way.

That’s a good point although you have to consider the fact if people leave the system you won’t earn as much
[Reply]
Hey shoe, I think you should showcase more than just the 468×60…. That way people can get a feel for what all we made.
Or allow us a link to the rest of our ads?
[Reply]
Craig Reply:
August 29th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Yeah I agree, I am having the hardest time with 468×60 but I am happy with the other 3.
[Reply]
TylerC Reply:
August 29th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
If not all then I would say the 125×125 would be better to go with.
[Reply]
Zac Johnson Reply:
August 29th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
I would agree that the 125×125 will get you the most traffic, as more bloggers have 125×125 spots on their sites, and usually aren’t sold out… so they can test your add easily enough.
[Reply]
Jewellery Reply:
August 30th, 2008 at 2:57 am
Send in a 125×125 like Tyler and Zac have mentioned, if its good…then it will be easily accepted.
[Reply]
Entry in - wish I had a few more hours to work on these.

Well if you win you could always offer a free moderation
[Reply]
Seems like a nice contest, and you get bragging rights for someone using your image on a site like this. But, I am no good with graphic designing, so I’m out.
[Reply]
How much time is left? I’m looking for the date/time stamp on this comment post to get the relative time… Where I am it’s already over.
[Reply]
You should do a post detailing your tools. That way its easy to get what one is searching for.
[Reply]
I def would like to get in on this project!
[Reply]
shame the timeline was so short. I had a few good idea’s. Oh well, always next time. Good luck to those submitting entries.
[Reply]
oh…. i missed this one. next time for me.
congrats to the upcoming winner(s).
[Reply]
I agree that the 125 x 125 will be the easiest ads to deploy quickly. Most everyone has spare inventory in this size, it’s much harder to get people to give up a 160×600.
[Reply]
So did the program launch today?
