Christian Affiliate News

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 love Shareasale. It’s my favorite secular affiliate network. I love Brian Littleton - the president of Shareasale and Carolyn Tang, his Client Services Director, who I have known about as long as anyone in affiliate marketing. I’m not sure if they are Christian folks - have never discussed this with them, but I LOVE how they treat people- that whole Golden Rule thing comes into play. (there is a lot of love in this room)

I do wish that they’d do a few things to make affiliate managers jobs a bit easier.

1. Make sure that affiliates names were collected and always available to the merchant.
2. Make sure that the affiliates email address was available for viewing an export. ( I like to see that affiliates are applying from their own domain. I am not a huge fan of free email addresses from affiliates)
3. I’d love to have access to phone numbers as well so I could easily call someone to chat on how we can better do business together.

I’d love to have this info available to pull into a Contact Manager like The Partner Maker or Goldmine to help me beat my ADD and keep in better contact.

I understand the arguments that all the networks have on keeping some control of the affiliates information so it isn’t abused, and so affiliates can’t be recruited away from the network. In SAS’s situation though, affiliates work with them because they love them, and the way they are treated and respected. In many cases they have turned their back on bigger networks because of bad support, or toleration of bad behavior by predatory affiliates.

God Bless Brian for setting a high standard.

Affiliate Marketing is a relationship business though and I would love to have more information at my disposal to build those relationships.

Some reporting on delivery rate of emails through the system would be cool as well

God Bless,

Wade
