Join your Affiliate ABCs hosts Deborah Carney and Vinny O'Hare and their guest Angel Djambazov, Custom Tailored Marketing and Managing Editor for Revenews. The topic for this episode is Emerging Technolgies, the affiliates that think "outside the box" and get on board with new technology will be just that much ahead of the game.
Pay per Call:
Ring Revenue
Shareasale
Commission Junction
LinkShare
Plugs phone "leak" - good for merchants where shoppers make calls
Pay per lead, more frequently pay per length of call
Affiliates get their own phone number
Good for high priced merchants
Legacy Learning Affiliate Program - up 30% with pay per call
Smart Phone Apps:
Jones Soda - Affiliate created a special iPhone app
Affiliate will need to work carefully with a merchant on something like this
Needs to be something special, not just a "go buy".
What cool interactive thing can affiliate approach merchant with, must be interactive
Game plan proposal
Acceptance, legal agreement with merchant, needs access to merchant api, graphics that wouldn't normally be available.
Customization merchants would be good to approach, like Zazzle
Merchants don't have the technology or time to develop themselves.
Don't create another "coupon app" - there are enough, Apple stops allowing duplicate or similar apps.
Don't limit to iPhone, go into other Smart Phone platforms as well - Droid, Blackberry, etc.
Site where you can build an iPhone App
We would love it if you can leave comments about other emerging technologies, and links to resources for building phone apps.
