Hi there! My name is Jen Fluker, Publisher Manager, with MarketLeverage. I would first like to thank Collin for inviting me to write a guest post on his blog. The topic of discussion will be how to make money using MarketLeverage, specifically if you have a blog.
No one said that making money online would be easy. In fact, it can actually be quite hard! The good news is there are some simple ways that I’ll cover to help guide you in the right direction. Most of you have probably thought long and hard about the main focus of your blog. Hopefully it relates to something that you are passionate about or have interest in.
Assuming you have a constant visitor base I would recommend signing up as a publisher with MarketLeverage and some other affiliate networks. There are many reputable companies in our space. Once you are approved to our network, you will have access to hundreds of our ad campaigns. We have campaigns spanning across every vertical, including travel, weight loss, home business opportunities, debt relief, and many more. We rely on publishers like you to generate leads and/or sales for our current advertiser base. As a blogger working with MarketLeverage, you can make money by placing banners on your site or by doing contextual advertising. Once a lead or sale is generated through your unique link, we pay you the appropriate CPA (cost per action) attached to that particular campaign. Specific CPA’s are based on conversion requirements.
I would recommend choosing campaigns that directly relate to the content on your blog. Remember, your readers will be the ones clicking and therefore converting on these ads. You certainly don’t want to inundate your readers with ads that you know they won’t have any interest in. You want to keep them coming back! We offer banner creative in all of the typical sizes and we’ll even make customized banners if we don’t have the size you want. Another perk you get from working with MarketLeverage is that you’ll work closely with a Publisher Manager whose job is to recommend top converting campaigns in specific verticals. These campaigns have the potential to make you the most money. Your publisher manager will be available to help, as much or as little as you like.
Another great example of how to make money through MarketLeverage is being done by Collin himself. Notice the banner advertisement on the far right of this blog. That is our referral banner! For every publisher that signs up through Collin’s blog, we’ll pay him 5% of their generated commissions for a lifetime! The 5% doesn’t come out of the publisher’s pocket, it comes out of ours. Talk about easy money! You can easily place our referral banner on your blog by using your own unique referral link. It’s a great way to earn some extra cash as well as feature one of your favorite business partners.
I invite you to sign up as a publisher with MarketLeverage. There are many ways to make money online, and figuring out which way to go can be overwhelming. Explore all of your options and many different companies to figure out which way is best for you. I can only hope that this has given you a glimpse of the many opportunities available to you. Good Luck and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have!

Hey Collin, I hope school is going good and your not partying to much or Rick Rolling to many people like your teachers.
Regarding this post I would like to point out something about your referral program which you guys like to promote heavily.
What Market Leverage and other affiliate networks need to do is start focusing on new affiliate training programs.Getting people to sign up under your affiliate link is useless if the people have no clue what there doing, and simply placing banners on your sites is not enough to generate any stable amount of income from, from either side of the coin.
Here is my proof of what I am saying.
Tyler Cruz has been running a contest with you guys for about 6 months and has had around 100 or more sign ups through his referral link. Out of that there is only a small number of people who are actually making money using Market Leverage.Why is that? Well, it’s because there is no guidance for new affiliate’s to learn from and Tyler is not a good enough affiliate marketer to teach properly. When I first joined ML it took me almost a day to find out how to get just my affiliate link for an offer. I was new back then to affiliate marketing.
How many other new affiliates have the same problems?
At best, most affiliate networks send people who want to learn affiliate marketing to peoples blogs and that is no way to teach the new affiliate marketers. Most bloggers who make money affiliate marketing do not share how they do it, and that ends up killing the new affiliate from ever taking off.
So, in conclusion, sending traffic your way or to other networks is a waste of time unless there is a FREE education system for new affiliates to learn from. A good idea for all networks is to make tutorial videos of how there actual site works. How to get links, find offers, use the stats and tracking systems and send them to there new affiliates via email, don’t just build a page and leave it there. Aweber sends you training material over the first week of you signing up with them, why can’t affiliate networks.
Or, better yet. Pay for the first months fees at PPC coach and help affiliates get started. You guys dump a lot of money into prizes that most people can not win. Start think of educating new affiliates and we all make more money.

I cannot agree more. With all the affiliate programs out there, and seemingly more starting everyday, I feel the winners will be those who train newbies. Instead of poaching the whales, grow your own. Recruit a big dog affiliate marketer only means he is recruitable. Train someone up on ML, and they are yours forever.
Thirty Day Challenge would be a good format to study, especially last year’s when they set a goal of the first $10 dollars. Plus, they set people up in groups to help each other drive traffic. You could call it the $1,000 Dollar Club or something, and people who have yet to make that in a month study and work together to reach $1,000 through ML in a month.
Also, ML could help all forms of marketing (PPC [which I assume is search] and email). I am starting to get into email, and I have tons of questions. I just spent 6 hours trying to go through a 14 MB, 600,000+ person suppression file. Only to find one email on my mailing list that was on the suppression list. If ML helped me, who’s offers am I going to promote?
Thats not a bad idea. Just if they do it, don’t promote programs that people are going to have to pay for. Affiliate marketing is pricey enough at times so get free tools.That is what the PPC coach does. You buy his membership to his site for 50 a month, you get all the free tools you can handle.
Hi Collin- Great suggestion! We’re actually implementing quite a few tutorial type programs to teach new affiliates how to best utilize our network. This includes a contest that launched across several blogs this month, where affiliates, both new and vets, can submit their tips and examples of marketing strategies. Thank you for the feedback. We’ll have some other exciting tools out very soon!
Well, its like I said and same with the other guy. You can pamper 10 supper affiliate’s who always squeeze more money out of ya but are able to keep your numbers high or you can retool and teach new affiliates who will be great full for your help and have 10000 affiliates busting there asses for you.
I am part of the PPC Coach mentoring program and the one thing that I am very impressed with is the fact every tool you need to use, Will built or had built so you don’t have to waste money on it. Very smart thinking if you as me.
Regarding the contest that’s out now. I did enter on Zacs blog. If you havn’t seen m enter, you should go check it out
wow wow, whats going on here …?
