Jim Kukral of TheBizWebCoach.com, was kind enough to provide us with an audio testimonial this week. Jim and I have known each other for many years. Jim has been MC’ing the Affiliate Summits for a number of years and we are honored to have such a great testimonial from one of the premier online marketing coaches.
JEBCommerce has been working closely with the Zappos team on their affiliate program for some time now. With both excitement and pride, JEBCommerce would like to announce that, in conjuntion with Ned Farra and his team, we are now managing the 6pm.com affiliate program! 6pm.com is your online source for shoes, apparel, and accessories. At 6pm.com, you’ll find great deals on all of your fashion needs at their one-stop shop. From shoes & accessories for an evening out, or gear for jogging, 6pm.com carries what you need for any occasion.
6pm.com is a great site and a great affiliate program. Ned Farra had this to say about the new partnership: “JEB Commerce brings a nice blend of experience and expertise to the table that helps develop and execute strategies to grow our affiliate program. We are excited to have the JEBCommerce team helping us grow the 6pm program.”
The 6pm.com affiliate program is available in Commission Junction. The commission rate is 7% with 120 cookie days. The big plus here is that if you are an affiliate of Zappos and 6pm, you can feel free to send traffic to both sites, knowing that if a user clicks over to the other, you’ll get your comission.
If you haven’t joined this program yet, please login to CJ and apply today. 6pm has almost daily sales and promotions on the site. To keep you up to date as ahead of time as possible, we have launched 6pm on NewsForAffiliates.com. You can read more about the 6pm affiliate program here.

One of the best ways to get to know JEBCommerce is through the words of those that we currently work with. Paul Nichols was kind enough to provide us with just that thing that we hope helps you get a good handle on who we are. We’ve worked with Paul for years while he was at Ebates and remain close as he launched an affiliate focused agency - PublisherFocus.com.
How does your business, your affiliate site, your service organization fit in with your competitors?
Whether you are a local restaurant, like in the video below, or you run a niche retail site, knowing how you fit in with your competitors can be the difference between throwing money down a pit and reaping the rewards of a successful business.
Watch the video below from Kitchen Nightmares. In the video, the owners of the restaurant never looked at their business compared to what else was available within a few blocks on either side of them. When they did focus on that for a moment, they saw what their customers needed that wasn’t being served.
Start at about 2:18 into this video:
When was the last time you evaluated yourself compared to the competition? What assumptions have you been running on that are no longer valid? What have you changed in your business after doing a thorough competitive analysis?
It is that time again. The March Madness NCAA tournemant is one of the most highly watched sporting events of the year. It’s also one of the top bonus programs for Doba affiliates and we are making it bigger than ever this year!
Our Grand Prize is a cruise for two, provided by Travel Management Incorporated, details of the cruise are dependent on time of year and availability. We are also giving away a $500 Amazon gift card, Flip Mini HD Camcorder and 3 Iomega 500 GB External Hard Drives! Thousands of dollars in prizes are available to win, but you have to register before March 15th. To reserve your spot in this promotion email us today.
Here is how it works. Once you register via email by March 15th, we slot you into one of the 64 open slots according to the leads you produce from March 1st - March 15th. Then you compete against others for number of leads generated during each round of the March Madness Tournament and advance if you have more leads than the affiliate you are matched against. This goes on and on until there are only two left. Register today and get your plans in place to generate as many leads as possible in March!

New Merchants Are Posting At NewsForAffiliates.com.
We have had many new affiliate programs sign up and start posting news about their company and their programs this month. Companies like OlindaRidge.com, BackCountryStore.com, Retail Concepts, Crazy for Bargains, Jesus Branded and more.
We will be making some changes to the site and would love to get your feedback on how we could improve the site.
Are you adding value to your customers and to your merchant patners?
This is a short video shot from my favorite office, Calypsos’ Coffee in Coeur d’Alene Idaho. They offer business owners a great room to either host a meeting or to work from at any time of the day. The room provies a quite place that is comfortable and has all the necessities to work day to day. It’s a great place and the room is an unexpected value add that keeps us coming back and sets them apart from their competition.
They have something different that caters to a niche and is always being used. What are you doing that adds value? I hope you enjoy the video and I’d love to hear in our comments section below what you are doing.
The information you put in your affiliate account is represented in your application to each program. As I laid out in the previous posts in this series, you need to apply to each affiliate program in order to promote them. But before I show you how to evaluate which affiliate programs to work with, we need to talk about your affiliate account.
Why? Without good and complete information, your application will be denied.
When filling in your account information in each of the networks, don’t leave blanks. Look at your account through the eyes of the merchant. Do you show them what your site is about? Do you give full contact info? Do you describe your site and how you plan to promote that merchant in a way that the merchant can understand? Be complete.
I wrote a few blogs about the affiliate application process. It would be a good idea for you to read them as they are written from the perspective of a merchant going through affiliate applications.
