Is Pepperjam A Reputable Affiliate Program?
To those of you who were following this blog. You know that I’m testing out affiliate marketing since April. My affiliate marketing results are as follows:
April : $22
May : $426
June : $1215
Given these values. I have come to a conclusion that affiliate marketing is profitable to anyone who wish to learn. I have no clue on how to do affiliate marketing on my first month (I even lost 10,000 pesos in ppc), yet I made profit on my 3rd.
So You Know It Works, Now What?
First of all, I am not into posting earnings. Earning $1200 a month is nothing to brag about once you know that the big players are earning ten times as much per day. Since I made a commitment to try affiliate marketing for 3 months with PepperJam (I switched to pepperjam in June because eBay’s affiliate system is still wacked) and I was doing the $1000 in 3 months challenge from pinoy money talk by myself, I posted this earnings as the result of my challenge. And I won’t be posting anymore earnings after this. Why? I don’t see the need to. I’m here to tell everyone who stumbled upon my blog and maybe, trying to learn affiliate marketing. I say to you, do not give up and that it is possible to be profitable in affiliate marketing. Well, it depends on how much you are willing to learn.
Some people have emailed me about what products to promote and what ad network I use. The answer is, I’m an affiliate of CJ. But CJ can be very intimidating at first will all advertisers in there. And also, it’s kind of hard to get accepted. I’m with pepperjam network and I can say, they are by far, the easiest to get into and the affiliate managers are friendly. They will help you to boost your earnings.
So to cut things short, there are the results of my $1000 in 3 months challenge and see you guys around.

hey supernoobice, while searching the web for affiliate marketing tips I happen to drop in here. Nice page! I like its simplicity yet very unique image icon. Then I saw your post on your 3 month campaign with PJN and whoa! Nice work after 3 months. Hey, I am also trying to find out if affiliate marketing will work for me. Maybe you can give some tips on how to make it?

Thanks greenh99. Affiliate marketing is such a broad topic. Its easy to get lost. I am not a guru in this field. I just started months ago. But you can do the first step by joining ad networks such as pepperjam
Feel free to ask questions, I’ll try my best to answer.

ok. Here’s my first question: how did you come up with your niche topic? Its so difficult to find a niche that isn’t overwhelmed by affiliate marketers already. I find this to be my current stumbling block.
July 8th, 2008 at 5:53 am
The truth is, if there are many affiliate marketers on a niche, its profitable. Don’t be overwhelmed. Its just a matter of keyword research. The thing that you should be worried about is the company that you’re affiliated with. Would their offer convert? Are they better than all other companies in the niche? Is their landing page good? Do they pay good?
So to answer your question I have 2 points to choose my topic.
1. Is there a need for this product? - Do people search for this product? Can be answered by keyword research.
2. Is their landing page good - good design? Is it working? Is it fast loading? Do you think visitors will convert better?
