February the Month of Love and Money

Posted on February 1, 2007 in Affiliate Tips  

Well of course everyone knows that February is the month of love due to Valentines Day, but it is also the month of money for many affiliate marketers. I know for me in January, I have been prepping for the start of February for targeted offers. What offers do you target for the month of February? Well honestly it is almost a no brainer but I will go into what offers I choose and why.

The first one is a dead giveaway….. Flower offers. Especially these days’ people are ordering more and more off the internet so why not get your cut? Many of the offers you can push people to will give them 5 or 10% off their order. Some of the flower companies have taken notice and even built alternative white label sites for you to promote to. Azoogle has a white label offer for FTD.

The second is giveaways. There are many simple email and zip offers that are “Valentines” giveaways. Some examples are Free Flowers, Free Tiffany’s Jewelry, and Victoria’s secret gift card.  These won’t make you as much per signup but you can get volume going.  From my initial test I have to say that Free Flowers offer will convert the best of the three from now until Feb 14th.

Lastly is the promotion of dating offers. With Valentines Day coming up people start looking for love and many are looking online.  Just about every CPA network out there has a dating offer. (While other networks have some different offers Azoogle’s Payout is hard to beat)  I have found the key with these offers is don’t go general, the best converting is targeting to groups. Find Networks that have offers that appeal to older people, Christians etc…  Then push to those audiences on adbrite or any of the top 3 Search Engines (MSN, Google, Yahoo).  I haven’t dealt much on 2nd or 3rd tier with dating, but I am sure you can make them work also.

As always test, test, test! If you have any suggestions or feedback feel free to leave us a comment.

    Which offer do you think will convert the best? I think free gifts are the hottest ones for Valentine day.

    Miha - While free gifts are hot the amount of people looking for flowers is much more! It all depends on what u can market best. I think any of the ones i mentioned will perform well and make money. But if you are looking for the most profit i think it will be in flowers. Again this only applies from now untill Feb 14th.

    And do you use, as a rule, landing pages (promoting the above offers) or send traffic directly to the merchant page? Say, with AdCenter?

    Yeah some good ideas there. I might have to take a look see about whats around in the Valentines offer areas.

    Hey listen I’ve got a question for you, I’m kinda new to the whole CPA game, loving it so far, but I just got rejected by one of my best performing merchants. I’ve asked my AM if there could be some clarification as to why, but I was wondering if you could shed any light on how common this is? Or common reasons for getting booted by a merchant?

    I don’t think I was breaking any rules, and was simply sending some targeted PPC traffic to my landingpage, and then onto their lead form. Any tips would be great.

    strangeprogress I will email you but to answer your question. As far as it being common to be booted from a program i would say that it is not common but does happen. 9 times out of 10 people are violating TOS or just sending trash traffic (usually they don’t ban but ask you to improve traffic quality), Providing false leads… meaning using stolen credit cards or one IP signing up as multiple people for an offer. These are just a few examples… I may do up a full post on this. but i wil be emailing you.
