eca.sh – New Url Shortening service

12 Jan

By using url shortening services you are able to make urls like www.makemoneyonline.co.za/ref/john into

http://bit.ly/makemoneyonline.

The benefits of doing this are that you can shorten links, track clicks made aswell as cloak your affiliate links. Cloaking affiliate links  prevents you from losing your affiliate commisions in case of the example below:

I could easily just type in www.makemoneyonline.co.za in my browser on the above link and then john would not earn his commision.

But  if you gave me the bit.ly/makemoneyonline link I would have to use it, as I would not know what the real website address is.

If you have been cloaking your affiliate links you probably have been using url shortening services like tinyurl.com or

bit.ly.

Apsense the business networking network, has also recently launched their url shortning service.

Eca.sh is a new url shortening service that use a topbar for advertising affiliate products. This is a great new concept for cashing in on your shortened links. You are also able to track clicks made on your shortened links.

MyTesterJobs.com AKA Websitetester.biz launched by Alpha Market Research

05 Oct

I just had my first Websitester.biz job. If you registered in the pre-launch and are not sure what is going on, you need to visit www.mytesterjobs.com and activate your account. Once you have activated your account log into your AMR mytesterjobs.com account and click on the job offers link.

When Alpha Market Research launched Websitetester.biz a few months back everyone was asking is it a SCAM? After reading the interview a few months later it sounded like their is hope and AMR just might have something to offer.

400 000 people registered in pre-launch. It just shows how many people are on the web looking for income opportunities and ways of making money online.

I accepted my first job offer on Sunday 3 October 2010. I had to review the website http://www.helpfulreports.net . It took me about 7 min and I received 0.24$ remuneration and a 80% discount coupon.

I was not sure what the discount copen was for and today ( October 5, 2010) I received this message:

“Dear AMR Website Tester,

Thank you for finishing the tester job at www.helpfulreports.net!

You have also earned an 80% Discount Coupon as part of your remuneration and it is connected with a very special limited time offer. ASAP, Please go to:

LINK REMOVED

and find out how this coupon not only SAVES you US$ 23.92 but helps you to start a simple but profitable home-based business.

Kind regards,

Your AMR Team”

I visited the link and the discount coupon was for PLR resale rights to the helpfulreports.net reports which normally goes fro 29.90$ but I would get it at 5.98$.

Now this brings up this question: Is AMR a ploy to market income opportunities websites to hopefuls with discount coupons? Or is their real cash to be made testing websites for AMR?

AMR did state that you will receive discount coupons on some jobs so their is no foul play their. Only time and a few more jobs will tell if AMR is cash maker or discounted cash taker.

Here is how you will benefit from being a AMR website tester:

If you registered in the pre-launch you will benefit from the AMR World Pool on your Group Factor ( How early you registered in the pre-launch )

Earn 2% ( 10 levels down ) of the income of every person in your Team ( The people you have referred)

Earn cash and discount coupons for testing web sites

Earn up to 250$ for referring a website to AMR for testing

Earn money from the AMR affiliate network ( As AMR stated in the interview that after testing a website AMR testers may also become affiliates for that website )

Affiliate Program South Africa Dropshippers.co.za Review

05 Sep

Dropshippers.co.za is the only drop shipping solution i know of in South Africa and have only recently been established.

Dropshippers.co.za makes it easy for any entrepeneur to start trading with little start up costs.

You do not need to be a registered business and can trade as an Sole Proprietor.

Drop Shipping is a service that has long been needed in South Africa and Drop Shippers SA finally stepped in and filled that void. Traders are not the only group that can benefit from Drop Shippers services. Businesses that spend large amount at retails stores could be saving alot of money by purchasing at wholesale as Drop Shippers offer a wide variety of products.

Dropshippers.co.za Affiliate Program Review:

How much do I earn for introducing a new trader?

You earn R100 for every trader you introduce.

This works in two stages.

Paid in stage 1 – When the trader you introduced activates his retailer account for the 3 month trial

Paid in stage 2 – When the trader decides to trade full time via drop shippers and selects his trading package

If a person registers and does not activate his account you will still have earned R1.

As i only joined their affiliate program in mid June, from the people i have reffered to them which is 40 odd people about 75% has moved on to Paid in stage 1 and 4 people has moved on to Paid in stage 2. I can not work out the conversion rate yet as at the moment most of the people I reffered are on the 3 month trial.

I have done this with 1 free ad, 1 paid add and 1 blog post.

You can cash out any time you reached the minimum payout of R100 and they pay you swiftly ( With no problems and speedely ).

What i also like about their affiliate program is the channel tracking where you can add your own custom string to your affiliate link. By doing this you can track which advertisements are working for you and which are not.

Drop Shippers will be introducing a revenue sharing program for their affiliates which will make the affiliate program even more atractive.

How much can I expect to make as an dropshippers affiliate?

As with any self employment job, with affiliate marketing effort equals remuneration

To make money online you need work hard at it in the beginning and find what works for you and what doesn’t.

Your own efforts will equal your own income

Here are two marketing points to think about:

More Eyeballs = More Sales/Sign ups – Get your ads and articles out so that as many people as possible can see it

Put the chocolate cake in front of the fat boy – Target your audiences – Put your ads in place where people are actually
looking for what you are offering

Join now and start putting those R100 bills in your bank www.dropshippers.co.za

Paytel – Inspired by VOX entrepeneur of the year

16 Aug

Earn big time!

Referral programme sets the pace

With South Africa’s sky-high unemployment rate, it has become evident that more out-of-the-box thinking is required to create alternative ways to earn an (extra) income. Searching for that ideal position with acceptable remuneration can be a daunting, exhausting and often futile exercise, and most people will jump at a chance to earn good money, while working on their own terms.

Such an exciting new opportunity is now starting to cause quite a buzz, as progressive job seekers and forward-thinking entrepreneurs stand the chance to earn substantial amounts. Coinciding with the movement of unconventional thinking and prospering, Paytel – a new and free referral programme – has drawn interest over a wide spectrum. It’s ideal for everyone who wants to earn something extra, whether they are stay-at-home parents with the odd free minute, people who’d like to earn money while they are looking for a job or employees who want to replace their job and refer people full-time.

Conceptualised by the Vox entrepreneur of the year for 2009, Paytel offers an innovative way of generating a substantial income while requiring the minimum input. The programme is based on an easy customer tracking and management system and promises the agent (or referrer) considerable rewards. All they need to do is to keep on sending people to Paytel’s referral link (website).

Referrals can be done in a number of ways –by telling businesses and friends about Paytel or displaying the banners or ads provided to them in emails or on a website. With the use of premium rate telephone numbers, Paytel agents can also earn money simply by receiving calls.

Thanks to the simplicity of the product, the largely untapped market and the fact that it can be tried for free, clients are abundant and affiliates can quickly reap the rewards. It’s a great opportunity to capitalise on an established resource and earn substantial profits. For every client who signs up using a free referral link, the agent earns 50% of the activation fee, making Paytel’s referral programme one of the most lucrative in South Africa.

“We are really proud and excited about the opportunities this programme offers,” says Gerrard Smith, Paytel’s managing director. “Whether they are promoting Paytel’s products online or offline, agents who refer customers can earn up to R20 000 or even more without any financial obligation.”

Paytel offers simple products that require no support or installation. “Since the product is virtual, it is easy to sell and effortless to deliver,” says Smith. “This hundred percent free income opportunity allows you to take charge of your income and achieve financial independence.”

Part of Paytel’s edge is that the company offers premium rate numbers. These have always been only available to larger organisations, but will now be accessible to small and medium sized businesses, and even owners of home businesses.

Paytel’s referral programme is a good example of the exciting and valuable business opportunities that the virtual world has to offer. With no risk and lots to gain, Paytel offers job seekers a great opportunity to profit from the online revolution.
