One Mans Experience With Affiliate Marketing

In 2007 when my company American Debt Enders was formed the debt relief industry was vastly different than it is today. One thing however has not changed and that is that consumers in need still need to find you to avail themselves of your services. The way most companies managed that was to do various forms of advertising, or to simply purchase leads from lead companies.

The problem with this approach is that purchasing leads from lead companies can be both very expensive and the leads can be of poor quality. Especially if the lead is sold more than once. Frustrated by this approach I decided to check out using affiliate marketing as a means of acquiring my own leads. That way, I could exercise control over the quality.

After researching whether to start my own affiliate marketing program, which would mean setting up the tracking software and back office software which would allow me to track those affiliates who signed on, and allow them to track their leads and payments from me. After a lot of looking I decided to use a third party affiliate company
which brought together both merchants offering affiliate opportunities and handled the lead tracking by providing the back office and bringing together both affiliates looking for companies to represent and Merchants looking for affiliates to represent them.

I decided on a company called Shareasale. Mainly because the very large affiliate companies charged a significant fee for their service and if you could not as a merchant offer a minimum number of monthly hits to your site, you simply
could not qualify to get in.

The decision turned out to be a good one because today Shareasale has grown into one of the most successful Affiliate companies and needless to say American Debt Enders has also succeeded. Soon after becoming a merchant affiliate it seemed a logical progression to also see if becoming an affiliate marketer by taking advantage of the ADE website and offering services that were related to debt relief that we did not otherwise offer would work.

Today I can tell you that yes, it also worked. One of the items offered on the website as affiliate marketers is Credit Restoration. We do not offer it as one of our services as it is a specialty of it’s own. We joined the affiliate program offered by Lexington|law firm which has been around for 35 years and offers a cost effective and excellent program for removing negatives from peoples credit reports and raising credit scores. Just by placing their banners on our website in strategic places we immediately started making money with passive enrollments.

For us to make money all a consumer had to do was click on one of their banners, take the free consultation offered and enroll in the program. We have never had a month where we have not gotten paid by Lexington. Let’s say it is an amount that would pay for a really nice car.

So hopefully this article has helped to give you the Affiliate marketing bug, enough to see that you can build a very nice income passively by getting into it, and you do not have to be a genius to succeed, and if you would like to promote American Debt Enders program, in which we have many ways to earn money, WE pay some high producing
Affiliates as much as 2500.00 dollars per month.
