  • Interview with Martin Osborn aka “Finch Sells”

    Interview with Martin Osborn aka “Finch Sells”

    Name, Title, Location.

    My name is Martin Osborn, better known in the affiliasphere as Finch. I’m 23 years old from London, England. I write regularly at FinchSells.com and FinchBlogs.com, and I run my own business from home in the comforts of miserable Greater London suburbia.

    How long have you been in affiliate marketing and how did you get involved?

    I guess my affiliate marketing career is the love child born from my enjoyment of spending time online, and a fondness of making money. Looking back, you could call it the natural progression of an Internet addiction. I started posting on forums when I was about 12, had my own forum by 14, and learnt to monetize it when I was 16. My hobbies slowly escalated in to believing that there was money to be made online. As soon as you develop that appetite, it doesn’t take long to stumble unwittingly in to affiliate marketing. My first taste was with Clickbank selling shoddy language learning kits and making next to nothing. I spent a lot of energy doing very little but wasting my time, which is how I like to think any affiliate should pay his dues. It keeps your expectations reasonable! In the space of about 6 weeks, I discovered CPA marketing and suddenly my monthly earnings shot up from £1500 to £10000. Literally in the space of the two hours it took me to set up that first lucrative campaign on Adwords. I don’t think I looked back from there.

    Give us a little glimpse into what a typical day in your life looks like.

    For the last year, it’s been kinda strange. I’ve been using the job to travel around Asia with my girlfriend. We’d spend half our time in home offices at either end of our apartment, and the rest of the time drinking smoothies on beaches. It was an awesome 8 months. Now that I’m back in London, work life is a little more settled. I fight with myself like any true affiliate marketer. It takes a lot of discipline to stay motivated and keep churning out good work, especially during those times where your campaigns are steady and banking money. I once got so pissed off at my own lethargy that I literally deleted every single campaign in my portfolio and started from scratch. Sometimes you need to slap yourself as a reminder that what you have is very temporary.

    What are your hobbies/interests/passions?

    Traveling Asia gave me a real taste for becoming more of a worldly person. I love my work and the freedom it brings. So I’ve set myself the target of visiting every continent in the next 2 years. That should keep things fresh in my mind and keep me feeling motivated to push my business to the next level. I don’t spend my money extravagantly or blow it on the type of vanity lifestyling that a lot of us Internet Marketing bloggers are associated with. I live a pretty ordinary life. It sounds sickly cliché but one of my passions is for helping other people who are on the same path as myself, and I use writing as my outlet for that. I love to write.

    There are already so many affiliate marketer and bloggers out there. What makes You different?

    I don’t know. Maybe the difference is you won’t find me at ASW Las Vegas with my face wedged between some titties in an Alpha Male display of ballin’ness? That’s not my style. I don’t really involve myself much with the affiliate marketing or blogging circles. I guess the biggest standout difference from my perspective is that I blog because I love to write, and not because I want to be an industry figure or leader or guru or whatever. It’s just a natural outlet.

    What kinds of traffic generation methods do you focus most of your on? (PPC, SEO, SMO). Do you use any tools that you can recommend?

    SEO sickens me. I routinely despise it. Just the thought of adapting an entire business model to whatever Google feels like rewarding is enough to turn me off. I’ve always run a mile from SEO, and I have much more of a brand-centric mindset. CPA campaigns are different, of course. I rely on paid traffic for those. It’s normally a combination of Facebook, Plentyoffish and the various PPV networks. Mochi Media has been good to me lately, although I’ll probably get slapped down for ‘outing a source’. I’ve also branched in to adult traffic sources but that’s all far too scandalous for anybody other than Ryan Eagle to be bragging about publicly, right? As for tools…eh, I don’t use many tools. FTP, notepad and some initiative are all you really need.

    Are you currently looking to work with other marketers? if so what are the criteria for other marketers to be considered to work with you?

    I usually work quite independently, and haven’t collaborated on any affiliate projects in the past. I often get emails from readers of my blog asking about joint ventures but it’s always a tough option to weigh up. Unless the brains and funding is truly 50/50, it’s often people asking for more than they’re willing to contribute themselves. Christ, it’s not rare for people to ask me if they can simply hand over the money and get a return on it after I’ve ‘done my affiliate thing’. We do get lumbered with an unfortunate reputation as some kind of mythical stay-at-home money launderers. But in reality, it’s never as simple as putting money in and getting more money out. A lot of the joint ventures that have been proposed to me were by marketers who didn’t really bother assessing the risks. Which is fine, if you’re blessed with eternal optimism (I’m not). I’m always open to great offers. I just haven’t received any that have captured my attention yet.

    For those who are interested in working with you – What’s the best way/time to reach you?

    Probably to send me a really long and tedious email that’s so never-ending I’d feel guilty if I didn’t reply. Nah, any time is good really. I’m not hard to find with my 7853 blogs scattered around the web.

    What are the keys to building successful relationships between Affiliates?

    On an affiliate-to-affiliate level? I think it goes back to being 50/50. Nobody is going to tell you shit about their most lucrative campaigns if you’re not willing to tell them something worth knowing in return. This is why I think it’s so important for new affiliates to actually take the plunge and get busy creating campaigns, or building sites, or doing just about anything that isn’t begging for scraps of advice on forums and blogs. Nobody will be willing to engage in ‘knowledge share’ mastermind sessions if you don’t bring some knowledge and experience to the table. Even if that’s your endless series of failures, hey, that’s better than simply waiting for somebody to hand-wrap a profitable campaign for you. You’re not going to get a chance to build those relationships if you don’t put in the hard yards to prove to other affiliates that you’re more than a knowledge-leeching bum. It’s the people who don’t take action that end up wasting their wallets on the many ‘one button profit systems’ that are designed to be so attractive for somebody who sits on his arse all day.

    What do you think about where the industry is going? Where you and your company may be going? What advice would you give to affiliates to keep up the pace?

    The industry is definitely changing and getting more competitive. It’s not possible to add a couple of zeros to your pay check overnight anymore. I think the affiliates who thrive moving forward will be those who understand how important the relationship is between affiliate, advertiser and customer. That relationship has become compromised through scammy offers, bad marketing practices and a whole bunch of renegade affiliates that only care about their bottom line. The industry will correct itself. It always does. And when it does, those affiliates will be the ones to suffer. I think the best way forward is the logical way forward, which has always been to deliver quality websites or to be the middleman who puts the right customers in touch with the right products. There’s little else to it, and that’s where I’m positioning my business to be.

  • Interview with Brian Evans

    Interview with Brian Evans

    Name, Title, Location.

    Brian Evans, Entrepreneur and Actor, Los Angeles, CA

    How long have you been in affiliate marketing and how did you get involved?

    I’ve been involved in affiliate marketing for over 6 years. My story started when I was managing high traffic SEO sites for a client. I started to realize that there must be a more efficient way to make money off of a website and web traffic than just getting paid per click (Adsense), so I decided to look into other options. I ran into the affiliate marketing industry and the rest is history!

    Give us a little glimpse into what a typical day in your life looks like.

    I believe in efficient working and not burning myself out.

    What are your hobbies/interests/passions?

    I love making movies. It’s one of my biggest passions in life. I also love acting. I believe that I was put here to be able to have a positive influence on people and I want to use that ability to help people.

    There are already so many affiliate marketer and bloggers out there. What makes You different?

    I don’t try to be different. I just do my thing. I read almost all the other top affiliates marketing and internet marketing blogs and I’m a big fan of all those guys. I don’t think of it as competition. Many of those guys are my friends, Mike Chiasson, Ian Fernando, it’s not about being different it’s just about being myself. All of us at the top of the heap have a unique style, so I don’t think that any of us have to worry about being different, we already are inherently different. To answer your question, I think I’m different as a blogger because I don’t pay attention to “trends” or blogger styles, I just do what I think I should do. I think people look similar when they try to match or copy someone else to become popular as a blogger.

    What kinds of traffic generation methods do you focus most of your on? (PPC, SEO, SMO). Do you use any tools that you can recommend?

    Campaigns that I run these days are almost entirely social media. I believe in the cave man ways of using the original tools, therefore I don’t typically use any “easy to use tools” because I find that it’s just another thing I have to learn. I already know how to use the ad managers for most platforms, so I don’t see much of a reason to learn something else to make it easier. I think they are already easy enough.

    Are you currently looking to work with other marketers? if so what are the criteria for other marketers to be considered to work with you?

    I do some consulting and coaching for affiliate networks, affiliate marketers, internet marketers, other consultants, small businesses, whomever. The problem is there are a lot of time wasters out there. People that aren’t serious, that are only partially committed to making serious money online I can’t work with. Therefore, I do carefully screen people that I work with. If you are serious about your business and are ready to have a passionate conversation with me about where your business is and where you NEED it to go, then [email protected] is my email.  Make me feel like you’re not going to quit and that you WILL be successful one way or another (and believe it yourself). Those are the types of people that I want to work with.

    8. For those who are interested in working with you  – What’s the best way/time to reach you?

    Shoot me an email at [email protected] keeping the above in mind!

    What are the keys to building successful relationships between Affiliates?

    Passion is most important. If you aren’t passionate , a lot of people aren’t going to want to work with you. It’s all about money, but let me tell you, the people at the top of the heap are passionate as heck. Mind you, they don’t all admit it but they had to be very passionate to get where they are. So my advice is to make sure you are passionate or re-dedicate yourself so that you are. I got this philosophy from the acting and movie business, because you WILL NOT make it if you aren’t relentlessly passionate. Be relentless passionate in everything you do and you will make it.

    What do you think about where the industry is going? Where you and your company may be going? What advice would you give to affiliates to keep up the pace.

    I don’t like to give predictions but I will give some advice. Here’s my advice if you are an affiliate or an affiliate network that’s trying to make it. The first thing is that a lot of affiliates and affiliate networks are out there ripping each-others ideas. News flash: just because you see a banner at a trade show or a landing page from a banner on Facebook, does not mean that it’s working! People lose THOUSANDS of dollars per day on stupid marketing.

    A couple of affiliate networks that I helped out a couple years ago, had the worst banners in the world, were copying everyone else and just were a total mess. They didn’t see it. I totally cleaned up their act and today they are some of the top networks in the space.

    The message is that you should do you, not someone else. Do your own thing, create a dynamic sales message that speaks to what you are doing. A big tip is to watch commercials on TV and learn what types of sales messages are out there, if you don’t have an actual sales plan in your banners/landing pages, like a product comparison, a competitor bash, or an image uplifting message, amongst others, then you have a very generic sales strategy that’s probably not going to work.

    Interview with Jeremy Schoemaker aka “Shoemoney”

    Name, Title, Location

    Jeremy Schoemaker, MFCEO, Lincoln Ne

    How long have you been in affiliate marketing and how did you get involved?

    I created a Mobile community in 2003, which had over 400,000 members by 2004. One day I got a call out of the blue from an affiliate network that suggested I try their ringtone affiliate program. I did. I then took the data I was getting in real time (keywords people were searching for) and started bidding on them in the search networks to send to affiliate offers. I have been an affiliate since February 2004.

    Give us a little glimpse into what a typical day in your life looks like.

    7:00 a.m – wake up get ready 7:30 a.m – take my kids to school 8:00 a.m – go to the office 8:00-9:00 a.m – answer emails and look at the schedule for the day. 9:00 a.m – staff meetings. 10:00 a.m -12:00 p.m- complete assigned tasks in order of priority’s. 12:00 p.m – 2:00 p.m- lunch 2:00 p.m – 3:00 p.m- finish up work for the day 3:00 p.m. – leave the office. We usually have an after hours event for team members.

    What are your hobbies/interests/passions?

    My family consumes most of my time, but I love Nebraska Football.

    There are already so many affiliate marketer and bloggers out there. What makes you different?

    On the blogging side – I don’t really care if people read my blog or not. I wrote an average of 1.3 posts a day in 2002 when nobody read it and if someday nobody reads it again I will still be there throwing down my thoughts and what I am learning. A lot of people don’t know this but I never accepted advertising on my site until almost 2008. Last year ShoeMoney.com generated just under 2 million dollars in revenue between direct ad sales and affiliate promotions. That moves the needle. I follow a strict protocol called gestalt. It’s where you only share experiences. So people know if I write on a subject its not going to be some crazy theory on how you can make money on the Internet. I am really transparent and show exactly what I do. On the affiliate side – I learned very quickly that affiliate marketing was not a real business and the real money… the long term revenue comes from having your own products and services. In 2007, I launched a company called AuctionAds, which was doing millions a month in revenue by the 3rd month. It was sold to a NYC Billion dollar VC firm 4 months after it launched. Since we have launched and sold more than 8 companies. We currently have 13 corporations in 3 countries.

    What kinds of traffic generation methods do you focus most of your on? (PPC, SEO, SMO). Do you use any tools that you can recommend?

    We do a lot of search engine pay per click. I don’t really care about SEO too much. It has always taken care of itself for me. Our team uses ShoeMoney tools – http://www.shoemoneytools.com

    Are you currently looking to work with other marketers? If so what are the criteria for other marketers to be considered to work with you?

    Cross promoting others products – We occasionally will promote like products to our readers/followers. We only operate on a CPC model and have a very strict set of criteria. We have it all lined out here: http://www.shoemoney.com/shoemoney-joint-venture-policy/

    To most people these prices seem ridiculous and that’s fine. It’s a great filter for us to determine who really would be a good fit. We know what we make from promoting other offers and we are not in business to lose money. People who want us to promote their stuff come to us… we have NEVER solicited anybody about promoting their product. They want us to promote their shit because an endorsement from us will drive a ton of people to their product. I wrote a whole post on this here: http://www.shoemoney.com/2010/07/20/getting-people-to-promote-your-stuff/

    For those who are interested in working with you – What’s the best way/time to reach you?

    What are the keys to building successful relationships between Affiliates?

    Be honest….

    What do you think about where the industry is going? Where you and your company may be going? What advice would you give to affiliates to keep up the pace?

    Affiliates have been SO spoiled. This span in time is going to be studied and written about as one of the big gold rushes. But its reached its peak for affiliates to make the margins we are used to. Affiliate marketing, as we know it gets harder every day. More competition, more government regulation, bigger budget companies coming in, etc… If you look at affiliate marketer’s real income statements they are unheard of. No business operates on the margins that we do. I have had months where I had a 60% profit margin on hundreds of thousands of dollars. In 9 years of being in business I have never lost money and have operated on a pretty sick margin. But that brings up a bigger point and one I tried to make earlier. Affiliate marketing is not a business. It is fly by night. Yes you can profit a million dollars in a month… but then spend 12 months finding your next thing. Affiliate marketers need to evolve and recognize that instead of sending directly to offers, you need to capture users interested in these niches so you can monetize them in perpetuity. Not just go for the one time sale. Build real assets in the form of a giant database that you cannot only monetize but, possible sell some day. Like what we have done with our companies.

  • Interview with Brian McLevis Founder & CEO of Envyus Media

    Interview with Brian McLevis Founder & CEO of Envyus Media

    Tell me a bit about yourself. How old are you? Where are you from?

    Well, I was born and raised in Northern California in the Bay Area. At  age 23 I moved to the Midwest… good ole Kansas – yellow brick road and all. Early on and throughout my life I was very interested and drawn to computers. My first machine was an Apple II GS. My curiosity and need to understand and push the limits came with my first modem. Once the 1200 baud monster was unboxed and plugged in there was no stopping me in the online world.

    At 13, I was deep into Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) and started my own single line BBS using VBBS – at the time I was running a x86, single line modem, and multitasking using DESQview. I was into hacking, phreaking, couriering, and causing all types of havoc online – did you know there was an “internet” when nobody knew of the internet? Boy those days fun weren’t they?

    Fast forward to today… I’m 33, own and manage Envyus Media and have a beautiful Wife and three wonderful kids that definitely keep me motivated and driven to succeed. Not to mention on my toes (in a good way!). They’re truly what drives me to get up before dawn and work deep into the night.

    How long have you been working in affiliate marketing and what made you start?

    I actually got my first taste of affiliate marketing about 5 1/2 years ago…

    My Brother — who works at a well know adult dating site — turned me on to a bot that created accounts, sent messages, and did all the basic functions within MySpace, but was completely automated. MySpace was still a fledgling company and their code was very weak and very, very exploitable. In layman’s terms, this made them very ‘spammable’.

    I was a system/network admin in the professional world at the time and fortunately I possessed the technical knowledge to scale this scenario and take full advantage of it. Eventually before long I was running 12 servers 24/7/365 pushing 3000GB xfer/mo through the internet pipes generating 30k unique views a day to my landers. Baptism by fire my Wife calls it and as such, I was thrust into the wonderful online world of making money online that we all know and love!

    Tell us about Envyus Media and what you do there?

    Envyus Media is my creation and was built from the ground up. Day in and day out and into the wee hours, I can be found day and night pounding on the clickity clack keyboard answering emails, sifting through fraud analytics reports, communicating with publishers, and monitoring day to day operations. I don’t and won’t ever do “just one thing” at Envyus Media because if I didn’t have my hands in every aspect of the business I wouldn’t be able to sleep comfortably at night.

    I feel I need to be involved from all viewpoints and I take pride in being involved in all aspects of Envyus. I want to make sure affiliates are treated well, with their questions promptly answered with solid and knowledgeable responses. Likewise I want advertisers that are pleased with the quality of traffic generated from our network. I take pride in what I do, how I do it, and I have a strong passion for the business and for the success of Envyus Media. I want our affiliates to know they are not just “another affiliate” on a network – they are an intricate part of the Envyus Media family!

    What Traffic sources do you specialize in?

    Is this a trick question? We specialize in all sorts, of course! And that includes offline marketing traffic sources.

    Given that there are a lot of networks out there, what makes Envyus Media stand out and why should affiliates want to join with you?

    On one hand you can say that offers are offers and most affiliate networks do indeed have very similar offers. It’s common knowledge that some networks pay more than others and some networks have completely exclusive offers.

    It’s almost become like a rinse-and-rewash cycle in regards to what new affiliate networks say when they first hit the ground running. Everyone claims to treat their affiliates the best, everyone claims to possess the best offers and highest payouts and everyone claims that they hold customer service above all else in their network philosophy. Just spin those three statements up with new adjectives and a noun or two and you’ve got yourself the script for what will be said for years to come.

    Ultimately, we feel that the way we treat our affiliates and publishers will ultimately, somewhere down the line, have a direct reflection of said goodwill and kindness back upon us. You can go to the highest buildings in the most crowded cities around the world and spout off the most phonetically pleasing promises and claims as a network, but ultimately, all it’s going to get you is face time. While there are a lot of affiliate networks all throughout the industry, if you’re not getting face time just from existing as a network in this industry then you need to close up shop because you haven’t the first idea on how to market your company.

    On this same token, we feel that treating all of our affiliates and publishers to the best of our ability, with all of the kindness and compassion we would want to receive in their steed is the way to go. We know from experience that doing this is the fastest route to real, loyal affiliates who will not only continue to run with us for the remainder of their careers, but will also go out of their way to let people know that Envyus Media is the place that you need to go if you wanted to be treated with dignity; if you want to be treated with respect and kindness and zeal regardless of how many years you have logged doing the damn thing. A full-on, loyal testimonial from an affiliate is a truly beautiful thing indeed!

    Basically, when it’s all said and done, you need to review affiliate networks not by their words or overall affiliate list, but by their actions. By how they act and treat their affiliates when they don’t think that anyone is looking. This along with a network’s cadre of loyal affiliates, offer the truest representation of just how valued a particular network truly is.

    Which traffic sources prove to be the most effective for your top earning affiliates,  E-mail, PPC, PPV, Facebook, Media Buying or any others?

    It’s not really the traffic source in particular as much as it is how skilled and creative the affiliate in question is at running through their preferred traffic source. We have top-earning affiliates running all of these traffic sources — e-mail, PPC, PPV, Facebook, Media Buying and many more. We cater to any and all types of affiliates and pride ourselves on being knowledgeable in each and every traffic type imagineable.

    In your opinion, what are the best places for a new affiliate to learn affiliate marketing, and what advice would you give to them?

    A lot of new affiliates come to me asking questions like “How do I make money online?” or “Where do I start?” The absolute hands down best advice I can give anybody starting out in this business is… Read… Read… Read… and then read more. There are forums littered with priceless information. Sit down for a week, two weeks, or even a month, and do nothing but read and soak up the knowledge and continue to do so even when you think you’ve reached the end and have attained what you need. Find a niche and a traffic method that interests you because you need to put your heart and soul into what you are about to do – anything less will not yield your desired results. Take things one step at a time and don’t try to do 3 or 5 different things.

    Just concentrate on one traffic source/method and one niche until you are at a point where you are happy with your results. Now, keep in mind, if you’re not doing well in that niche or you continue to struggle with the traffic source/method, it’s definitely OK to stop what you are doing and try something else. That judgments call, I believe, comes with time and knowledge. Not every traffic source/method or niche is for everyone but you will find your groove and when you do … lookout! Run with it and run with it hard.

    Essentially, there’s a period where you need to sit and learn and a period where you need to learn by doing. And don’t be afraid of making mistakes because they can and will occur. No doubt about it. Just be sure to learn from these mistakes and patch up those holes for the future.

    Does Envyus Media offer any training for new affiliates?

    Our Affiliate Manager Josh runs the Affiliate University blog on our website where he makes all sorts of posts catering to the new affilaite marketer. It’s definitely an excellent resource. And for those that need even more guidance, Josh is just as willing to provide one-on-one coaching via instant messenger for those walking their first affiliate marketing baby steps.

    Does Envyus Media accept affiliates from outside of the USA?

    Of course! However, the process is a bit more stringent than with USA affiliates — mainly due to the lack of international verification information. While the process to be accepted if you’re an international affiliate is a bit more complicated, it’s only done as a preventive measure and we appreciate and love bringing board affiliates no matter where they live in the world!

    What qualities do you look for in prospective affiliates?

    A strong work ethic and being driven to succeed no matter the trials and tribulations on the path to get there are definite pluses. Basically, we just want affilaites who are just as passionate and ready to put whatever work is necessary in — just like us!

    For anyone that wants to work with Envyus Media, what is the best way and time to reach you?

    We’re all on practically all day — we just can’t help it! I’d say the quickest way to get in touch with us is to call us up directly at (800) 450-9507 or hit up the staff, Paul or Josh on AIM/Skype/MSN/YIM. Screen names are envyuspaul and envyusjosh for each IM service.
