AffiliateJump is a new so called “CPA network” created by Mike Filsaime and Joe Holland that will allow newbies to get started with promoting CPA offers. Now I have to be completely honest and say that I don’t care much for any of Mike Filsaime’s products because his promotions are always way over the top in regards to the actual value he gives you with his products. What I’m saying is his promotions always make you feel all warm and cozy inside and then you get let down by what you really get behind the curtain. Don’t get me wrong, Mike is a very successful guy and he makes a lot of money but the bottom line is it seems Mike is usually the guy making all the money from his products as the owner. AffiliateJump doesn’t seem to be any different…
If you’ve watched Mike’s promo video on the homepage he emphasizes that it perfectly OK and even GREAT that you don’t know anything about the CPA networks and he makes it sound like it’s so agonizingly difficult to get accepted into the CPA networks. He wants you to believe that you can’t make it in the CPA world unless you pay him $300 to start and up to $99 a month to promote the offers in “his network”. Should we have to pay to make money on CPA offers when we can easily get accepted into at least one of dozens of CPA networks? Hell no, what a joke! Also, you should know that Mike’s “CPA network” isn’t even a real affiliate network. All they are doing is letting you send traffic to the offers with their affiliate link using a subid and then paying you half of what they make. Note that you will only be paid every 30 days when they are likely getting weekly wires direct into their checking account. If you build a relationship with your account manager at an affiliate network and you start doing some sales they will gladly pay you weekly with direct deposits right into your account.
Let’s talk about the other poor elements of this system that you might not be able to resist. The websites! When I watched the promo video at Affiliate Jump I have to admit I liked the fact that I could generate landing pages on the fly but that was until I saw what the websites looked like. Terrible! I promote CPA offers with custom built sites and I can tell you first hand that these sites will perform poorly on the search engines and I don’t imagine very many people are going to trust a page like this. The site basically has 3 banners on it with less than 100 words of content and there aren’t any other pages on the site to increase quality score. Aside from the websites this is basically an under paying affiliate network that costs you money to use.You are better off saving your money, joining a free affiliate network and outsource someone to build you a beautiful landing page to promote your offers.
Just my 2 cents gang, I would be glad to answer any questions you have about CPA marketing and I will get some posts up for beginners that will show you how to painlessly get accepted into the CPA networks and how to start promoting offers. You don’t need to pay Mike Filsaime and Joe Holland hundreds of dollars each month to get paid half the money you can make at a regular, free to join CPA network!
