PaySpree: An Affiliate Network That Pays Instant Commission On Every Product

If you sell digital products online you are no doubt aware of the two most popular affiliate networks, ClickBank and PayDotCom.

While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It's called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly. And they can choose whether to be paid by PayPal, Payza or Credit Card.

Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly.

We expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of 'instant commissions'  played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7 Dollar Secrets and the Rapid Action Profits scripts. And PaySpree offers even more than what you get with those.

We've actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant PayPal commission. And We've seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.

As soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree, it sounds like a winner to me.

I've just signed up and had a look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check it out at the link below and let me know what you think:

Earn More Through Affiliate Marketing

If you’re new to affiliate marketing, this guide will help you maximize the time, energy and sweat that you put into your site or mobile app! Online publishers of all stripes – whether they be a large editorial site like LuckyMagazine.com or Gawker, social channels like Twitter or YouTube, a forum, or blogs like fashion blogs, mommy blogs or consumer electronics blogs – are using affiliate marketing to make money.
 At Skimlinks, their approach to affiliate marketing is that their technology automatically affiliates hyperlinks in site content, earning content creators a commission for sales they drive. They’re continually looking for ways to help publishers earn more through affiliate marketing, and below are some helpful tips to help you maximize your earning potential:

Link directly to all products. Be sure to include affiliated links for all product references in your content directly to the appropriate online retailer’s product site where your readers can make the purchase. Or if you use Skimlinks, their Javascript will affiliate all your regular links automatically. Be sure that your link goes to the product page and not the site’s home page, as the likelihood of a generating sale is higher.

Don’t forget to link images! Attention-getting as they are, they are easy to overlook for monetization purposes. Don’t fall into this trap. In addition to attracting more readers to your content, images can also help increase click-through rates. If you use Skimlinks, you can opt to run Showcases, which provides images of product options in a separate unit on your site.

Use the reporting available to you. If your affiliate program provides reports, it’s worth investing the time to understand which merchants are earning you more, which topics are the most popular with your audience and which yield higher conversions.If you use Skimlinks, the Hub has all this information. If your program does not provide reports, Google Analytics can help. Analyze performance, not just commission rates. If one merchant is paying higher commission rates but it takes significantly more clicks to get a sale, you might be better off linking to a merchant with a lower commission but that tends to drive more sales.

Analyse performance, not just commission rates, If one merchant is paying higher commission rates but it takes significantly more clicks to get a sale, you might be better off linking to a merchant with a lower commission but that tends to drive more sales.

 Remember: in most cases, clicks need to result in a sale in order for you to get a commission.

 It’s a number’s game. The more clicks you drive, the more likely you are to lead a sale. In order to maximize your chances of getting a sale, you need to maximize traffic to your site and include as many affiliated links as appropriate.

Get in on social discovery. Whenever relevant to your content, include personal recommendations, reviews or price comparisons, to help give your readers a reason to come to your site and get interested in buying the products you’re discussing.

What is affiliate marketing

With the emergence of search engines in the mid-1990’s, the internet ballooned into a massive e-commerce and information machine. Website owners were creating valuable content and providing tremendous benefits to their visitors, and these website owners wanted to be compensated for their hard work. Early forms of online advertising like CPM or fixed placement started seeing competition from emerging, more accountable forms of online advertising, like affiliate marketing.

So, what is affiliate marketing?
 In the world of affiliate marketing, an advertiser can be a company selling a product like electronics, airline tickets, clothing or car parts, or an advertiser could also be an insurance company selling policies. The most important thing to remember is that you are an advertiser if you are ready to pay other people to help you sell and promote your business.

 A publisher is an individual or company that promotes an advertiser’s product or service in exchange for earning a commission. Advertisers contractually agree to work with a publisher, then provide the publisher with creative – in the form of links, banner or text ads or even unique phone numbers – that the publisher incorporates into their website.

 The final component that completes the affiliate relationship triangle is the consumer. The consumer is the one who actually sees the ad and then makes an action (either by clicking a link or by submitting their information via a form) that takes them from the publisher’s website to the advertiser’s to complete the action, which we call a conversion.

Farming and online money......

So whats with the title?

If I told you that you had to do the exact same thing for five minutes every day over three months and you wont earn a penny at first, BUT after three months you'll be earning over $2000 a month, for only 5 minutes work a day, would you do it? Really? You wouldn't get bored on day five, or day seven, or at the end of the first month? Are you absolutely sure?

Ninety percent of the people who respond to fantastic opportunity adverts are looking for a quick fix. They are usually in deep trouble and need money yesterday. What a lot of them don't realise is that as long as they remain in that scrapping for money mentality and dropping things because they don't appear to work, they'll find themselves in that same situation in three months time, when some other guy is starting to earn his $2000 a day.

The thing is, many people want to find that one in a lifetime golden opportunity and don't realise that there is one around every corner. This article is going to discuss pay to click or PTC as it is better known as.

One of the programmes that I am a member of is Neobux, one of the oldest PTC programs on the web. How it works is quite fundamental. An advertiser pays for his Ad to go online. He pays say 5c for each impression. A member of the program is paid 0.001 to click on the Ad. That leaves a profit of 0.4,9c for the publisher. However the publisher wants the Advertiser to see his Ad is popular so he encourages the member to get some friends to do the same and so the member gets a cut of the profit for the Ad his friends click on.

Here's the math.

I click on 30 ads a day (across a period of five minutes, and I get a direct income of what most would consider a paltry 0.03c.
My friends do it and I get 0.005c for each of their clicks while I am a standard member (more when I reach golden member).
To qualify for the program there is a minimum of four clicks per day, EVERY DAY. So my best friend makes me 0.02c a day.

OK , I can see you laughing but this is where it becomes fun, because while you may not have thousands of friends, Neobux has thousands of unreferred clickers, and for a small monthly fee of around 0.20c each you can "rent" a clicker for a month.

The clicker pays for himself quickly by doing more than 4 clicks a day (The minimum) and you make a profit on the rest. Remember only one person makes a profit on the rented referrer as long as he is rented in your downline.

While you build up your own money from clicking, you keep renting referrals and encouraging others to do what you did just a few short months ago.
The more referrals you have the higher you jump in the league and gin membership opportunities. It is easy to become a Golden member in just three weeks. This increases your profit margin, still only pennies, but they all add up, and how!

It takes about three short months to get to Diamond member status and a rented referral downline of between 2000 and 3000 clickers. Yes that's right and for just 5 minutes a day.

So do the math again. At this point you are earning 3000*4*0.01 PER DAY! That's $120 per day! $3600  (In South Africa, where I live that's about R35000.00 )per month. For clicking for five minutes a day!

This is how the boring kid who lives down the road and didn't go to college is raking it in, in internet income.

So what has farming got to do with it? Well look at it this way. The farmer ploughs a field - he doesn't make any money. He sows the seeds, and doesn't make any money. He then irrigates the field and keeps it weed and pest free, still no money. After six hard months he begins to harvest, still no money, but he see's it materialising and when he goes to market, his patience hard work and endurance has left him with an income and some seeds to sow for the next season!  making money online is the same. Engage in an activity that pays you immediately without demanding an upfront fee from you, reinvest what you earn (the seeds) and eventually you'll have an ongoing residual income as long as you look after it.

Some people just give up or wont do it all because they cant bear the idea that someone else would make money from their activity, without bearing in mind that actually they will be making money from someone else's activity too. It takes teamwork to build a skyscraper.

Payment providers - who to go with, and why

Interesting that one of the first public posts on this site is not about making money, but rather about getting paid and making payments.

I am aware that PayPal is probably the biggest online payment processor worldwide, particularly well known in those economies that do not enforce stringent exchange control regulations.

This post is for everyone, but it does offer some answers and solutions to those that have difficulties with bureaucracy and huge amounts of red tape. If you do not have difficulty with registering with PayPal in your particular region then I would naturally recommend that this is the company to go with. They are well known, and have huge resources to sort out any issues that may arise.

 When you find yourself in countries such as South Africa, where the stranglehold on the financial services is so overwhelming, you will need to be a bit more creative. If you merely want to be paid and be able to transfer your funds to a bank account Payza (previously Alertpay) are a good solution to go with. However you need to note that Payza currently have difficulties meeting new requirements in some European countries and the US, so you wont be able to just change your payments to a new country.

A rather creative solution is to use Payoneer. Payoneer are a prepaid debit card service, but with a twist. Regardless of where in the world you happen to be they give you an American bank account number and routing code (sort code in the UK and branch code in South Africa have the same meaning)This means that if you live in South Africa, once you have registered with Payoneer, you can then register with PayPal and use the banking details on your account to send and receive money. You can use the debit card to withdraw funds in South Africa and the charges are competitive with South African banks.
