Learning from Chef Gordon Ramsey – Focus on the basics first.

December 13, 2008 By Jamie Birch 3 Comments

I love to cook.  I don’t mean every day cooking like meatloaf and such.  I mean elaborate meals for all my friends.  4 or 5 course events with entirely home-made food that takes me days to put together.  Along with loving to cook, I love to watch cooking shows. My favorite isn’t so much a [...]

Affiliate Marketing for Bloggers – The Networks #2 in Series

December 8, 2008 By Jamie Birch 6 Comments

So that is pretty much my brief run down of the networks I think you should get started with. I do recommend you working with all of them as they do have different merchants in each and each one offers something different than the other.

Coupon sites becoming increasingly important – #3 in series

November 29, 2008 By Jamie Birch 9 Comments

Overall, I hope this series has shown that you can’t outright dismiss the importance of this group of affiliates. They drive an incredibly amount of sales, many are incredibly responsive, professional and really good people. Many of them I consider close friends and leaders in this field. Often times you can engage these affiliates in your couponing strategy and they can provide you with some great information and ideas. Afterall, they work with your competitors and they know what converts. They may prove to be very valuable partners.

Online Traffic to Coupon Sites Increases – 2nd in Coupon Research Series

November 26, 2008 By Jamie Birch 2 Comments

It is becoming increasingly important to participate on these websites and take care of these partners. It’s not so much about branding anymore, it’s simply about sales. If you are where the consumers are, they will shop with you, if not, well then a better placed competitor will get the chance to close the sale.

Coupon Sites More Important as Economy Swings Down

November 25, 2008 By Jamie Birch 10 Comments

This has been a pretty tough year for our economy.  It seems that every headline is worse than the last and every industry is asking us, yes us, to bail them out.  I’ve met, and know, so many in my area that are effected by the slumping economy, either with jobs lost or just general [...]

Monetizing Your Blog with Affiliate Programs

November 16, 2008 By Jamie Birch 6 Comments

Many of us in the affiliate community noticed that “affiliate marketing” was relatively new to this audience of bloggers. Some even said that 90% of the attendees had no idea what affiliate marketing is and how to get involved, let alone that they can use these relationships to monitize their blogs.

AvantLinks’ Advanced Link Encoder – One Cool Tool

November 14, 2008 By Jamie Birch 4 Comments

And there is the second benefit for affiliates, and merchants. Since the affiliate can use a direct link, they can then pass their link juice to the merchant. I have been told of affiliates that were able to acquire a few more points on commission in turn for using the ALE exclusively and direct linking to a specific merchant. More power to the affiliates here, and an added benefit for merchants.

Why should affiliates share their contact info?

November 6, 2008 By Jamie Birch Leave a Comment

Recently I had a discussion with my fellow panelists on our Pubcon panel and this issue was brought up. One thing we all agreed on, and I want to stress here is that our top producing affiliates, overwhelmingly, are those that we have long standing relationships with. Those that we know their phone numbers, their emails, their IM’s. This is from a group of individuals that I would say have experience managing over 100 programs (total guess, I know I’ve managed over 35 myself).

Affiliate Applications Continued – Recommended Improvements

November 2, 2008 By Jamie Birch 1 Comment

That got me thinking about all the modifications the networks could make to the affiliate application process and approval queue. At the end of the day, the better and more efficient this process, the more likely the networks are to generate increased revenue. I’m sure they are missing out on commission just in Scott’s case as I know he is top performer.

Testimonials

We had JEBCommerce do a complete affiliate audit for us. They did a fantastic job digging into areas and making recommendations based on their findings. We are constantly improving our program based on their review. I keep it pinned on my wall because I can always look back and find things that need attention or improvement. — Chris Rocha :: Harry & David

We were very impressed with the thoroughness of JEB Commerce’s audit. They left no stone unturned, and handed us a number of new opportunities. — Jason Bernloehr :: E-Commerce Mgr, Rockler Woodworking

We work with JEBCommerce for several reasons. They’re innovative. They educate us by explaining what needs to be done & why. They’re highly experienced. And finally, they’re flexible, knowledgeable about our business, and willing to work with us to maximize results for our company. — Ned Farra :: Zappos.com

I have worked with Jamie since 2001 and would highly recommend him. He is extremely well-known and highly regarded in the world of performance marketing. Since Jamie has handled accounts as an in-house affiliate program manager, an OPM and now as the owner of his own consulting business, he has seen the industry from all sides. As a result, you could not find anyone in the industry with a broader perspective and a deeper understanding. I therefore would give Jamie my unqualified recommendation. — Paul Nichols :: Director of Sales, Ebates.com

Jamie is one of a handful of true affiliate industry experts. Ever since I first met him many years ago, he has been my go-to guy for answers to hard affiliate business questions. He is a true entrepreneur, and he continually amazes me with all of the ways he immerses himself in the industry. Jamie is a passionate advocate for both sides of the affiliate relationship equation. I cannot recommend him highly enough. — Julie Barile :: eMarketing Manager, Avon Products, Inc.
