Members will have access to the following:
  • Banners & Links for Member Referral Programs
  • Link Exchange Program - I link to your site. You link to mine.
  • Content guaranteed to be relevant prison-related for your Site.


 
6 Key Benefits of Starting Your Own Affiliate Program!
...Why Starting Your Own Affiliate Program Will Explode Your Traffic and Sales 
http://www.yoursoft-tm.com/six.htm
If you're not convinced that starting your own affiliate program is the easiest and fastest way to increase sales and explode your profits, then read this article now!

You can't afford to pass up this proven method of increasing web site sales and profits. Nicole Vanderberlit of Jupiter Communications projects that by the year 2002, 25% of all Internet sales will be generated by affiliate programs! That's over 10 Billion dollars! Don't miss your chance to cash in on this phenomenal marketing trend.
  1. An affiliate program is an automated advertising campaign. - Affiliate tracking software is the perfect marketing tool because you literally implement an automated advertising campaign that will promote your product or service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And, it's all done automatically!
  2. You don't pay money until you make money.- Your marketing force promotes your site for free and you don't pay them a dime until they generate a sale for you. You can use affiliate tracking software to get hundreds, even thousands of people to promote your product or service for free and increase your sales exponentially.
  3. You get fringe benefits. - There's another unnoticed benefit of starting an affiliate program. Even if visitors don't purchase your product, there's a good chance that they will subscribe to your e-zine or bookmark your site. You only pay your affiliates when you make money. Until then, you are getting loads of traffic absolutely free!
  4. You won't ever have to buy advertising that doesn't work. - Let your affiliates test the waters for you. You write ads, they place them in various places on the Internet, and you measure the results. If your ads don't work, you lose nothing, and you can improve and test them for free until they do work. You can test various banner ads and sales copy without fear of losing advertising dollars. You only pay commission to your affiliates if they sell your product.
  5. It's the ultimate viral marketing strategy. - Viral marketing is power. Remember the old Pert commercial? And they told two friends... If you start a two-tier program, your affiliates earn money on affiliates who sign up under them. This encourages your "automatic sales reps" to recruit more affiliates. Thus, creating a viral marketing strategy with unlimited growth potential!
  6. You get better search engine placement. - Link popularity plays a huge role in the ranking of your site on the major search engines. The more sites that point to your domain, the higher your position will be. And, there is no better way to get hundreds of sites to link to yours than by starting your own affiliate program.
Benefits of an Affiliate Program
Having an affiliate program is the most powerful way to market your products online. There are a number of benefits when you use an affiliate program that includes:
  • Increased sales
  • Drive traffic to your site
  • Generate qualified leads
  • Extend the reach of your brand
  • Better search engine rankings
  • The ultimate viral marketing strategy
 The beauty behind affiliate programs is that they allow you to build an army of sales reps, all these sales reps have their own websites, visitors and opt-in lists. These sales reps are your affiliates and they use their visitors and opt-in lists to advertise your product. You don’t have to pay them anything until they make a profit for you. There is absolutely no better way to promote your product or service online.

Introducing the Prison Websites Affiliate Program

Thank you for visiting my blog. I am proud to announce that I am starting an affiliate network specifically for Websites and blogs related to prisons, prisoners, prison-life, prison reform, etc...

My Reason

I am creating this network simply because I cannot find one like this to join myself. Affiliate marketing programs such as CJ, Linkshare, & Google networks are all great, UNLESS your site is related to prisons. There are very few links that I have found to be relevant to sites like ours. If you do find an affiliate that may work, (IE, online greeting cards, phone companies, etc...) they are bound to decline you as a network member because they simply don't see how their product is relevant to your Website or blog.

With this network, all backlinks will be relevant to your prison-related site!

My Current Ideas

  • Below are some ideas I have in mind for launching and promoting this program. 
  • This will be a paid-program. The cost will be very affordable. I'm thinking somewhere between $5-$20 per month to remain in the program.
  • 50% of all proceeds made from this program will go towards the purchase of my mom's quarterly packages.
  • Anyone who has a prison related site will be approved, as long as the site is not an adult site, hate-site or down right distasteful.
  • Once you become a member, you will have access to banners and affiliate links to all of the prison related sites in our network.  
  • The Website itself will feature quality backlinks to all members' Websites and blogs.

Site Pages

  • The home page will contain blog updates of new members, their company info, Website info, etc...
  • There will be page categories that will be customized to ensure that all members are placed in a category that makes sense.
  • Each Regular Member's site will be featured in the appropriate category.
  • Premium members will also have their own page that will profile their company and link to their own Website.

Interested?

You are not signing up for anything. This questionnaire is just to give me an idea of how many people may be interested and what they need.
