A hug from IdeaAlex :-)

[IdeaAlex]

Hi guys (and gals), LOL

My name is Alex. Warm regards from California.
I am an affiliate manager for IdeaMama Ad Network (http:/www.IdeaMamaAdNetwork.com)

I look forward to networking with all of you, learning from all of you and hopefully contributing my knowledge somehow.

If I was telling something about or network the short version would be something like that: “We are the only affiliate network that pays $5,000+ in commission per single sale. As an affiliate you need to convert only 100 sales to make $500K. Build new sites with targeted content to promote our high-ticket B2B & B2C offers.”

I hope I didn’t "overpush" it :-)

My main interest is to learn about challenges of both affiliates and advertisers and to be able to solve problems with some innovative solutions.

Have a great weekend, folks!

Hi Alex. What exactly does your affiliate program promote? Perhaps you can tell us a bit more.

[IdeaAlex]

Hi Greg,
Thank you for asking. I will gladly share...

Basically the affiliate program itself for IdeaMama Ad Network can be found here: B2B advertising | ideamamaadnetwork.com
Payout to affiliates: $1,000 PPS.

This is our own (network's) program that attracts "new generation" of merchants/advertisers who till now did not have a chance to advertise themselves on PPS basis, since their transactions are closed off-line. So, firing pixel on conversion page simply doesn't work for tracking purposes. Therefore we have developed a patented technology and process to tap into this market. We call this model CPD (cost per deal) vs traditional CPS.

The merchants would be mostly those that can offer at least $1,000 in commission per single deal to our affiliates:


1) B2C: manufacturers and dealers that sell high ticket product.
- boat, jets, cars etc. All fun staff to market :-)

2) B2B: mostly service companies with a long sales cycle (1-3 months), but very large deals ($50,000 – $5,000,000). Payout to affiliates is usually 10-20% commission, min $5,000 per deal.
So, the program could be marketed to:

-IT / software development companies,
-marketing firms, ad agencies
-accounting,
-engeneering,
-product design,
-solar installation,
-SEO/web,
-financial
-franchises
-biz for sale/ biz brokerage firms
-e-learning
-medical device manufacturers, distributors
-call centers
-trade show exhibitors package
-consulting companies
-law firms
-wholesale orders for manufacturers
-lead generation companies
-event planning
-promotional products
-training
-employment agencies
-printing
-market research (RFP)
-hospital administration/management
-virtual assistance
-UI design companies
And many others…

The beauty of all our campaigns is that it can be marketed to very limited targeted audience, no need to drive enormous traffic. We are open for email marketing, articles distribution (usually content is provided), banner ads, viral videos and other marketing methods. If content presells campaigns well, they guarantee very high payout to affiliates. While other networks work with established affiliates who own traffic, to market our campaigns affiliates can create new web sites and just take care of SEO to drive targeted audience. Great for domainers as well to monetize their domain portfolios.

We provide very detailed reporting to affiliates on their current earnings and estimated earnings for next 6 months based on quality of leads in advertisers’ pipeline. See, CPM/CPC/CPL models rely on budgeted advertising dollars. CPA is the only model that reduces the risk of low conversion because it is based on performance only (sales). While this opportunity is available for consumer products, and a limited number of business products and services that are sold on-line, it is absolutely not suitable for companies that close business off-line, or those that don’t rely on Web-based shopping carts for accepting payment.
We address this problem by integrating the traditional tracking methods used by affiliate marketing with a system of tracking sales information as a customer moves through the sales pipeline. All information about the sale, such as the probability of closing, what part of the sales pipeline the customer is in, and other information, is available for reporting to affiliates.

Also we strive to help charities in developing countries to do their good deeds, so while making money affiliates can feel purpose in what they do (you can find more info on the home page of IdeaMamaAdNetwork.com).

Is there anything else you guys would like to know?
