Christian Affiliate News

I just noted something really curious about the SinglesofFaith christian dating affiliate program in Shareasale tonight. The program has been converting pretty well for the affiliates who promote it, especially the dating focused sites, and the sites with Christian content and therefor a Christian visitor base. Conversions are running 4-5% (visits to sales) or so - which is great.

I got curious and did a little report generating and sorting and found that the SinglesofFaith affiliate program is actually the best paying dating affiliate program in Shareasale this month based on 30 Day EPC ($23.81) as well as 7 day EPC ($32.39) Granted, these numbers can be volatile, but it’s interesting nonetheless that the best bet for making money with dating affiliate programs in Shareasale right now is by working with SinglesofFaith - one of the few truly Christian “Christian dating” sites.

The most productive affiliates to this point have had the following traits:

• Broad focus dating review sites that took the time to write up the program
• Christian dating review sites
• Christian content sites
• Christian community sites

SinglesofFaith is a truly unique dating site even among it’s legitimately Christian competitors like SingleC.com and ChristianCafe.com in that the focus of the site is on Ministry. SOF looks to develop the member in their faith walk so that they are really “relationship-ready.” SinglesofFaith is most unique in that members across the country are encouraged and invited to work together in service projects in SinglesofFaith’s inner-city outreach ministry. Members join together to serve the hurting where they are. They might work in a food kitchen feeding the hungry, read to children or elderly shut ins, work on a construction project to repair a church or a home, take care of the sick or injured.

It’s much more than just another Christian dating site.

The best part of the deal is that proceeds from the dating site ministry support the inner city servant ministry, so the money is truly kept in the Kingdom and put to work serving others as Christ served when he walked the nearly 2000 years ago.

A quick update from the SinglesofFaith.com affiliate program.

Conversions from visitor to paid member are doing really well right now, running at  just under 5% with an EPC of just under $50 over the last week.  If you have Christian traffic, and specifically, a lot of single Christian traffic, you should be working with this program.  Why?  Two reasons:

1. As affiliate marketers, the initial reason is obvious - it’s paying nice commissions.  Your average payout on a sale is just under $10 and you can quickly ramp up with 10 sales or more.
2. If you take the Christian nature of your site seriously, this is a legitimate and Gospel advancing offer to promote.   You can feel safe at knowing that you are sending your traffic to an offer that is committed to Kingdom building causes and who’s proceeds go directly to inner city ministry in cities across the US.

We’re also uploading a couple of new sets of creative in the next couple of days including some “text only” banners that are fun and eye catching and 70’s retro.

That said - for best results on generating sales and commissions with SingleofFaith.com, you need to tell the SOF story.   This is where they really stand out.   If you’d like to hear the story from the mouth of the founder, Mike McCartney, please check out this video.

If you’d like to write up SinglesofFaith on your site and need some material to help with this, please get in touch at affiliates@singlesoffaith.com

The SinglesofFaith Affiliate Program pays 45-55% commissions with a 365 day cookie length.  You can sign up for it now at Shareasale

I’m proud to announce the launch of the SinglesofFaith.com affiliate program in Shareasale with an offer of 45% of revenue generated over the initial year of membership.

SinglesofFaith is a Christian-owned and operated “dating site” with a twist that makes it really interesting to me as a Christian. There are a ton of “Christian niche” dating sites out there, some legitimate and many of them not. What interested me in working with SinglesofFaith in the first place was the approach that they take to Christian dating, and what they do with the money that the dating site generates.

I spoke about this a bit with Mike McCartney, the founder of SinglesofFaith.

What we hear from our members is that our ministry is qualitatively different than any other “dating site” (if that’s the category you want to put us in.)

1. We are clearly not in this to transfer money from member bank accounts into our accounts (as illustrated by our dramatically lower fees). We sense this is HIS capital, and the way HE’D use it is by reinvesting it in Kingdom expansion and growth. We will have to answer to Him for that. So we must do the same.

2. Every ounce of our site makes it clear that we are for emotionally healthy, relationship-ready single Christians. We do not just throw “christian-ese” around secular programming, nor do we carry the “singles-ey” look and feel. With decades of ministry experience (married, then single adult ministry) under our belts prior moving to the Internet, we are thinking Kingdom priorities first, relationship priorities second.

What really makes SinglesofFaith (SOF) unique is this: They put their members’ money to work for the Kingdom by using it to fund Work Parties around the country. At these events, SOF members from the local area are invited to serve others as Christ did and:

• Feed the hungry
• Distribute clothing to the homeless
• Visit hospitals, rest homes and shut-ins
• Tutor children and the illiterate
• Serve the elderly and disabled with home-based services

And to provide other services to communities and people in need.

I don’t know of any other “Christian Dating” sites out there that put the rubber to the road like this and look not just to make connections of “equally yoked” singles, but to help them grow in Christ through service, and to do it by serving others as Christ did.

I asked Mike to sum up what makes SinglesofFaith unique and he reflected.

I sense that, as God ponders the 105,000,000 single adults in the U.S. (now MORE than the 104,000,000 married adults in the U.S.,) He sees BEYOND the dating and relationship potential and sees a twofold (or more) Kingdom potential:

(1) the potential to bring abundant life to us millions, plus

(2) the potential to bring Kingdom (abundant) life to the millions MORE who can be served BY us single millions. I genuinely believe a tremendous potential exists for His glory if He can ignite our heartstrings such that we follow Him to our knees in servanthood exactly like He did when He visited this planet. Millions and millions of lives can be impacted for Him.

As God unveiled that perpective in the earliest launch phases of SinglesOfFaith.Com, I began to realize that we are not “merely” in a relationship ministry, but in a KINGDOM ministry. And that touches me deeply and excites me daily. How many of us, honestly, get to serve Him full time for the next fifty years?

I’m really excited to help Mike achieve his goal of growing the SinglesofFaith member base from 80,000 users to 1,000,000 + in 2008 and I think that affiliate marketing can be instrumental in this. If you are interested in helping out in this effort, we’d love to have you!
