Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. 

The question I am asked by other affiliate marketers more than any other is: what strategies separate super affiliates from regular, everyday affiliates?

One of the answers I always give is that most super affiliates are very effective at making money based on seasonal trends.  What this means is that during certain times of the year, mostly holidays and changes of season, demand increases dramatically for certain products and services.  For instance, flowers and dating services tend to do especially well for Valentine’s Day.

With the above in mind, we’ve decided to feature two of America’s leading Valentine’s Day advertisers that also happen to be featured advertiser’s on Pepperjam Network: Teleflora and SinglesNet.

The reason we are featuring these two offers is because they are likely to convert better for you over the next few weeks than they will at any other point during the year and we want you to make more money!

About Teleflora:
Teleflora is one of the top three florists in the United States of America.  Teleflora has been connecting customers with the nation’s best florists for more than 70 years. All of Teleflora’s floral arrangements are professionally arranged by a local florist using only the freshest flowers available, and each gift is personally delivered in a vase - in most cases, the same day your customer places the order - which ensure that the delivery arrives in premium condition, ready to be enjoyed immediately.

Pepperjam Network is currently offering a flat base payout of $6 for every order you refer to Teleflora.

About SinglesNet:
SinglesNet is one of the leading dating Web sites online with over 14 million members.  At singlesnet.com, your visitor referrals can create personal accounts and use a proprietary compatibility matching technology to find their perfect match. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner this offer should be easier than ever to convert into a paid lead. In fact, this offer pays you out when your referral completes a one-page Free Trial sign-up form.

Pepperjam Network is currently offering a flat base payout of $4.50 for every free trial sign-up.

If you are an existing affiliate all you have to do is log-in to your account and apply to the Teleflora and SinglesNet programs - we have them set on auto-accept so you don’t have to wait for acceptance. If you are not a member of Pepperjam Network you can sign-up HERE.

Best of luck!

Pepperjam Network launched last week to the support of thousands (that’s right!!!) of affiliate marketers from around the world.

Simply stated, Pepperjam Network was an amazingly successful launch - we are thrilled by the response we have gotten from the affiliate marketing and online money making community.

One of the highlights of all the buzz we have gotten is the very positive response to pepperjamADS.

pepperjamADS is a really cool affiliate marketing widget that you can use to serve customized contextual ads from one or multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time. The ad units come in various shapes and sizes. You can mix and mash ads from any of your merchant partners. For instance, you can create a fashion widget by selecting various ads from multiple fashion merchants. Likewise, you can create a specific widget with ads from any one merchant. The thing that really separates pepperjamADS technology from anything else is that you get to choose the ads you want in the widget.

Think about it - on CJ, Linkshare, ShareASale, Performics, Azoogle, and others you simply select a specific banner or specific text link for one merchant. You are limited to promoting one specific merchant per creative.

Not so with pepperjamADS!

With pepperjamADS you create the ad widget. Your ad widget can contain ads from multiple merchants or any single merchant.

Check out the pepperjamADS Video Tutorial below where I walk you through the Pepperjam Network interface and show you how to create your very own affiliate marketing widget. Affiliate marketing will NEVER be the same - you’re now in control!

By the way, if you haven’t joined Pepperjam Network you will need to in order to take pepperjamADS for a test drive. If you join the Pepperjam Network affiliate program we pay you up to $7 for every publsiher referral you send us.

Here’s the text of the official anouncement of Pepperjam Network:

Pepperjam Announces Launch of Next Generation Affiliate Marketing Network

Wilkes-Barre, PA.  (PR NEWSWIRE) January 15, 2008 — Pepperjam, a two-time Inc. Magazine fastest growing company and industry leading full-service internet marketing agency, today announced the launch of Pepperjam Network, a proprietary next generation affiliate marketing network.

If you are an advertiser or affiliate and would like to sign-up for Pepperjam Network please visit www.pepperjamnetwork.com.

 “Pepperjam Network represents an evolution in affiliate marketing.  The creation of Pepperjam Network represents eight years of research and development and the combined ideas, feedback, and intelligence of hundreds of affiliate marketers and advertisers.  Pepperjam Network will forever change the face of affiliate marketing by putting power back in the hands of affiliates and advertisers to build long-term, profitable partnerships through better communication tools and transparency,” said Kristopher B. Jones, President & CEO of Pepperjam.

Among a variety of affiliate marketing enhancements, Pepperjam Network addresses the two primary shortcomings of other existing affiliate networks, namely (1) poor, unreliable communication tools and (2) lack of affiliate transparency.  With Pepperjam Network, affiliates and advertisers can communicate in real-time via Pepperjam Chat™, thereby providing a reliable communication system to build stronger, more profitable partnerships.  Pepperjam Network also provides advertisers with an unprecedented measure of affiliate transparency, which helps to establish trust, protect brand integrity, and lays the groundwork for open, long-term, profitable relationships.

Pepperjam Network also introduces pepperjamADS, which is a first-ever affiliate marketing widget that affiliates can use to serve customized contextual ads from one or multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time.

Pepperjam Network was designed to make the experience of affiliate marketing profitable and educational, with the goal of allowing affiliates and advertisers to truly understand and maximize the critical affiliate marketing channel.  Unlike the traditional networks, Pepperjam Network uses Web 2.0 technology to provide affiliates and advertisers with an easy-to-use, cutting-edge interface designed to facilitate and optimize the affiliate marketing process. For instance, Pepperjam Network offers industry leading source-level tracking and reporting - this robust technology is especially beneficial to search marketing and sophisticated super affiliates that want to take advantage of the most up-to-date technology available to track commissions at the keyword level.

Here is just a sample of what many industry experts are saying about Pepperjam Network:

“Even after all these years using Commission Junction on the merchant and affiliate side, I still find it terribly clumsy to find what I want. With Pepperjam Network it is quick and easy.  Pepperjam Network is what an affiliate network would look like if it were built from a wish list from both the affiliate and merchant perspective,” said Shawn Collins, Cofounder of Affiliate Summit.

“As both an advertiser and a affiliate, I am on the lookout for affiliate marketing systems that meet all our company’s needs.  Pepperjam Network is without a doubt the most comprehensive, practical and useful affiliate marketing system I have seen to date.  Pepperjam Network demonstrates that it is possible to combine style with substance in a network that provides site owners and advertisers with tools and resources to increase their bottom line,” said Joel Comm, New York Times Best-Selling author and CEO, InfoMedia, Inc.

“It’s great to see a pro-affiliate network such as the pepperjamNETWORK that works closely with and appreciates the efforts of affiliates. You’ve certainly leveraged the Pepperjam brand to go beyond just creating an offer marketplace. The incorporation of enhanced affiliate to affiliate manager communication and collaboration and feedback mechanisms are revolutionary.

I look forward to checking out the “Pepperjam Knowledge Vault” and the affiliate resources it contains. The Pepperjam Network certainly has the makings to be the front runner for an Affiliate Marketing 2.0 Network.”

“Pepperjam has taken everything it knows about affiliate marketing and has created the ultimate affiliate network ever.  Pepperjam Network provides affiliates with educational resources and tools to make lots of money - the reporting and tracking features are second to none and the interface is east to use and clean.  My guess is that this piece of software will revolutionize the affiliate industry - it will give both merchants and affiliates the tools they need to make more money with affiliate marketing.”

“All I can say is WOW! Pepperjam has once again outdone itself.  The Pepperjam Network provides tools and technology that I’ve long been looking for in other affiliate networks.”

Amit Mehta

“The entire staff of Pepperjam and its master and commander Kris Jones deserve some major kudos for the Pepperjam Network project. Rarely do we have a network launching that actually delivers on what they promise. Everyone claims to have high payouts, great stats, and great conversions, but with Pepperjam Network, it’s all real! 

There are over 550 ad networks out there now, and most of them will fail and flop within a year, but Pepperjam Network, with its professional and friendly staff for support and its awesome stats and conversion data, ensure that all affiliates, be treated as if they are all super affiliates from the start.

This is a network that everyone should take notice of, not just affiliates. Look out for other networks to follow in Pepperjam’s footsteps. Congratulations to the entire Pepperjam team because you guys are about to become the all-stars of the industry, and have monsters like CJ following YOUR lead for a change. I rarely give testimonials or reviews, but guys, you deserve this! Kudos!”

We’ve enjoyed working with Pepperjam in other capacities for years and know that Kris and gang will bring the same commitment to building its network. All of the reporting and other features that we look for in a network are built right. We’re looking forward to the launch of a new network that will evolve online marketing.”

“I have long looked for one package of everything I would want in an affiliate/ CPA network, and while some of the numerous networks we work with had portions  of “the complete package”, none of them had it all.  Then comes along the genius mind of Kris Jones and his wonderful creation of Pepperjam Network.  When my partner and I spent time with them at the Pepperplex months ago, we really saw the beauty of their Network and it was then that I knew the complete package had finally arrived.”

“The Pepperjam Network has hit the ground running with an impressive set of tools and an even more impressive starting list of merchants.  I look forward to working with this network who understands what affiliate marketers need to be successful.”
