I recently added 2 affiliate programs to complement my web site’s content.

The first one is a CD shop, eil.com’s affiliate program which offer 7% per sale. Good profit margin because most of the items are very high ticket. Over USD $100 for rare CDs, DVDs, videos and other rare stuff. I purchased a domain name OasisMusicShop.com to redirect my visitors to the web site instead of asking them to enter the full URL in their browsers.

The second affiliate program is by MediaPlazza. A “mobile entertainment” affiliate for mobile ringtones, colour logos, wallpapers, screensavers and java games. I’m not so sure about the payout but it does have a comprehensive payout table at their web site. I particularly like the “Master Affiliate” model where you get 10% of another affiliate’s earnings your refer to MediaPlazza. Like the previous affiliate program, I also purchased another domain name OasisRingTones.com to redirect my visitors to the exact landing page.

Ok great…. Now’s the challenge of actually getting sales! Its one thing putting them up and another thing to actually make sales. To push it further, its quite a challenge to become a high earning affiliate because I don’t really have much of a clue how to do that.

I will need some help…. Firstly, I have emailed the affiliate program’s person in charge for tips and case studies of their top affiliates. Secondly, I have submitted my web site to a few forums to ask them to critic my approach and hopefully provide me with some advice that could improve my sales.

I’m actually putting myself up for criticism here… Yikes! Here are the forum topics:

These are very popular forums and it would be good to see their comments on my web site and I hope they like it and provide some valuable feedback. First time putting my web site for people to review!
