Cali Trip and the Super White-Label
So it’s 5 am and Nickycakes is just getting the last of his crap together for his trip to LA today. He’ll be back in a week so posting may be sparse (not that this is a big change or anything). Anyhow, if you’re an affiliate or work for an affiliate network or something and want to kick it while im out there, shoot me an email. I may have a day free mixed in with work.
What’s the Cakes doin’ work in LA for? Well, some may be familiar with what’s called “white-label” affiliate programs. This term is generally used when someone starts running an offer directly with the merchant, cutting out the middle man, OR the merchant/network setting up an affiliate’s own branded site for an offer. Going direct with a merchant on an offer can generally get you higher payouts, better tracking, and less bullshit, but is not always easy to pull off, or desirable. There are downsides, but that’s another tangent.
So what if you were to go a step further? What if a company has no affiliate program and isn’t marketing their products online at all? And what if you were to convince them that they need to be doing online marketing and taking you on as their only affiliate as well as paying your airfare, and all that jazz to come set up some online ad campaigns and get a (big big) payout for leads? Well that would be above and beyond a normal white-label deal. This is also what Nickycakes will be up to for the next week.
More to come! Keep it real.
call me when you’re here maybe we can grab some lunch or something.
Sounds good, does that come in a whiskey?
Whats gonna keep them from copying all your work and letting you go? Guess thats a chance you gotta take…
Hi there,
First of all, thank you very much for publishing a detailed post. Was the LA tour helpful?
