Local Affiliate and PPC – The New Gold Rush

by Jeremy Schoemaker on October 28, 2008 · 139 comments

Been working pretty hard on this months newsletter.  Its basically a walkthrough on how to create local affiliate programs and make a ton of cash.  We have been doing this for a couple of years now and honestly its been pretty simple.

In the Nov 1st newsletter its basically a total walk through.  Everything from how to negotiate a payout to what business are best suited for it.  I even throw in a bunch of real world examples and screen shots of our local campaigns.

I am giving you several days warning so make sure you are signed up to the ShoeMoney Newsletter:

Name:
Email:

Also in the newsletter we will be announcing the winners of the 2 laptops we are given away this month!

I just recieved the ALL NEW macbook courtesy of Marketleverage and also do not forget we will be giving away a Macbook AIR courtesy of QuickSprout (Neil Patel).

Good luck!

I’m very interested as well! If it’s what I think it is, I’ve been interested in doing this for some time now.

And it feels like forever since the contest started. I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting to see if I’ll get something. :)

Haven’t been lucky this contest. Sob. And that new Macbook would be awesome!

I am pumped to be a member of the newsletter. I am excited to have access to all the information coming up.

Plus winning the laptop would be neat too :)

13 Travis October 28, 2008 at 10:27 pm

It totally makes sense to run local affiliate programs. I look foreword to seeing what you have to say in your step by step. There is the obvious sales perk of being able to talk to the businesses face to face!

Hmm…. very interesting! Looking forward to this one! I’ve often wondered how well it would work to promote an affiliate offer using old school methods – posting flyers on bulletin boards and that type of stuff.

Or, spamming the diet section of Wal-Mart with colon cleanse offer flyers. :)

I’ve tried two or three different email addresses but never receive the confirmation email. I tried using the site contact form but also didn’t get a reply.

Is it possible to get manually added Jeremy?

You know what, this is strange.

I’ve never considered signing up to your newsletter until now. It isn’t even due to the relevancy of the upcoming newsletter, it’s just… My eyes tend to just ‘look over’ CTA newsletter/rss buttons these days. Odd… but such a good idea on your behalf. ^_^
