VIPole Introduces Affiliate Programs with High Payouts for Bloggers and Marketers

VIPole International LP, the provider of data security solutions for teams and enterprises, announces the launch of affiliate programs. The advocates of VIPole products and services will earn from 30% and up to 80% commissions from the purchases of their referrals. The three affiliate programs available offer different conditions and opportunities.

Rosyth, United Kingdom, October 22, 2015 –(PR.com)– Gamification is a popular trend in business. Rewards for achievements have been used for product promotion for ages and got broader opportunities in the information age, when everyone is a participant of global conversation. Affiliate programs have proved a success for companies like Amazon, eBay, Hootsuite, Verizon and even Apple that engages affiliates to speak about iTunes.

As the online community appreciates technologies, being an affiliate of an IT company is easy and rewarding. Regardless of the level of marketing experience, every VIPole affiliate gets a stable source of side income that may gradually become the main source. VIPole has developed three affiliate programs:
· VIPole Partner – the program designed for bloggers and webmasters with a 30% commission from the payments of the leads and a 15% commission from the turnover of the second generation of partners.
· VIPole Business Club – the club members build a strong team to make money together. They get up to 80% payouts from the payments of 12 generations of the leads and their partners.
· Bonus program – the program where every VIPole user is rewarded for referrals. The bonuses can be used instead of money within the system to pay for the subscription and the services.

Word of mouth marketing is probably the best form of promoting the service that was made for communication. With the launch of affiliate programs, every VIPole user gets an opportunity to benefit from socializing. Chatting online without leaving home is what many of us are doing almost 24/7 with all the social media, messengers and blogs at our fingertips. So why not make the habits bring some money?

“As we have many loyal customers, the affiliate programs question became one of the most frequent this year. Our three affiliate programs are now ready to welcome enthusiasts who are willing to become the advocates of our brand. VIPole Partner is the easiest for enrolling and offers significant instant payouts. VIPole Business club is more complex, but more lucrative, as every member benefits in the long run with the efforts of many partners creating the income for all,” says Marketing Director, Julia Salnik. “Those users, who do not participate in VIPole Partner or in the Business Club, still get rewards for attracting referrals, as the Bonus program works for everyone in VIPole.”

VIPole affiliate programs are available for people all over the world; everyone may join and speak about VIPole with friends and with the whole internet community. The programs are linear and transparent with all actions of the participants recorded in the system. The affiliates get the comprehensive statistics on the payments of the leads and the time and the amount of money accrual on their balance. There are no pitfalls – every lead purchase is followed by the payout to the affiliate.

VIPole website (https://www.vipole.com/en/) and the company blog (http://blog.vipole.com/) provide more details about the newly launched affiliate programs.

How Style Bloggers Earn Sales Commissions, One Click at a Time

Updated Feb. 11, 2015 11:33 p.m. ET

Kat Tanita, a photogenic 26-year-old, regularly poses for pictures on the streets of New York, modeling her style of classic, feminine clothes and accessories. Three times a week, she uploads the professional-quality shots to her blog, With Love from Kat, where they generate almost half her annual income.

The money comes from the dozen or so links Ms. Tanita places at the bottom of each post that whisk readers to retail sites selling the products she is wearing, as well as similar-looking items often at lower prices. Every time a reader clicks and buys from a linked retailer, for the next month Ms. Tanita will get a cut of the sale, whether it’s an item featured on the blog or any product the retailer sells. And the typical reader is none the wiser.

Commission-generating links are the nuts and bolts of “affiliate marketing,” a mechanism that is one of the most common, least visible ways the Internet funnels blog readers onto retail sites. A $40 trench coat Ms. Tanita linked to last fall sold out, she says, and hundreds of people bought a romper she posted.

Ms. Tanita declined to disclose how much money she earns from her affiliate posts but says it is enough to support herself. “I couldn’t imagine four years ago that I could be making a living off of outfits that I’m wearing,” she says about the start of her blog. “It’s kind of crazy.”

For many of the personal-style bloggers flocking to New York Fashion Week, which starts Thursday, affiliate links are a major source of income. This fashion-forward crowd might buy the products they link to, and they also regularly get merchandise directly from brands and retailers. Some link to things they don’t actually own, on a “wish list” or “gift guide.”

Affiliate programs, used by many online retailers, blogs and media sites for a decade or more, are gaining new ground for bloggers as they expand to social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter .

Terms of the deals typically are based on how many readers a blog has, and how much interaction it gets. Commissions range from 3% to more than 20% of sales. For bloggers, also known as “influencers,” whose readers are loyal and eager to shop, there is real money to be made. Hundreds of bloggers earn tens of thousands of dollars a year from affiliate relationships, people familiar with the industry say. A few make that much in a month.

Affiliate links bring shoppers directly to the merchandise, unlike a print ad or editorial mention in a glossy magazine, where readers have to hunt the product down for themselves, says Bryan Galipeau, director of social media for Nordstrom . The department store’s affiliate program is run by a team of four full-time employees working with several thousand bloggers and social media personalities.

Another advantage: Shoppers see the advice that bloggers dispense as independent and unbiased. “There’s a level of credibility that bloggers bring,” Mr. Galipeau says. “It’s an unedited perspective.”

Julia Engel, a 24-year-old San Francisco resident with a style blog called Gal Meets Glam, says she thinks her readers understand how affiliate marketing works and don’t mind. “People are always going to ask me where something is from, and I’m always going to answer,” says Ms. Engel. “So if I can be credited for that purchase, it’s a win-win situation.”

Self-employed personal style bloggers have been embraced by the notoriously closed fashion industry, were the programs are a natural fit with the industry’s brand-centric, advice-heavy culture. Links are subtler than in-your-face display ads, and they are far simpler than the elaborate partnerships some brands have brokered with bloggers in exchange for sponsored posts, personal appearances and social-media mentions.

Acting as middlemen between retailers and bloggers, and helping attract more of each, are affiliate networks. In exchange for its own fee or percentage, a network provides the necessary technology to create links and track purchases, and writes commission checks. It verifies whether a blogger is worth doing business with, and brokers new relationships and deals.

A network gives bloggers access to “retailers that normally they might not be able to get in with,” says Adam Weiss, general manager at Rakuten Affiliate Network, formerly called LinkShare and a unit of Rakuten Marketing.

RewardStyle, a leading network based in Dallas, is among the easiest to use, many influencers say. It offers bloggers a widget of a scrolling gallery of linked product shots, which they may want to embed at the end of each post, making it even easier for readers to click and buy. When a linked item is sold at multiple retailers, RewardStyle tells the blogger how much commission each retailer is willing to pay.

The network accepts only about 10% of those who apply, says Amber Venz Box, RewardStyle’s co-founder and president. In all, it says it works with about 9,000 bloggers, magazines and other publishers and more than 4,000 retailers, including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Net-a-Porter. RewardStyle affiliate links resulted in $282 million in sales for retail partners in 2014, the company says.

Last spring, RewardStyle introduced a way to shop from Instagram, which doesn’t allow clickable links in captions. Shoppers can sign up for a RewardStyle tool called LIKEtoKNOW.it: If they “like” a RewardStyle blogger’s linked photo on Instagram, RewardStyle will send them an email with affiliate links to help them buy the products. Although RewardStyle offers to collect links and send just one email a day or week, 95% of shoppers request the information immediately.

Email recipients “want the information and they want it now,” says Ms. Venz Box. They aren’t thinking about whether a blogger makes a commission like some store salespeople. In its first nine months of operation last year, LIKEtoKNOW.it led to $10 million in sales.

Data is a huge part of affiliate marketing’s success. Retailers can measure exactly how much they get in sales from affiliate links, and bloggers know where their readers want to shop and what they buy.

Kimberly Pesch, 31, learned the audience for her blog, Eat.Sleep.Wear, likes items they don’t have to try on, such as shoes and sunglasses. When she posts something expensive, like a Chanel handbag, she will typically also offer similar alternatives—“an affordable piece,” says Ms. Pesch, who lives in Los Angeles.

It sounds easy to make money in affiliate marketing, but Taylor Davies learned firsthand it isn’t. In 2012, Ms. Davies, a 29-year-old full-time editor at The Luxer, an e-commerce site, put a few of the links on her blog, Shut Up I Love That. She found it difficult to reach the $100 commission threshold required for RewardStyle to issue her first check. “You don’t automatically start making money,” she says. “If people aren’t interested in what you are saying, there isn’t going to be much of an impact.”

Ms. Davies decided to go with ShopSense, a network that pays based on clicks, not purchases, and says she now earns from five to 10 cents per click, or about $100 a month. “I learned my audience, much like me, they click on things because they want to see it and investigate it but they don’t buy it,” Ms. Davies says.

Most Recommended Marketing Tools By Pro Bloggers [Part 1]

This is the first post for “Recommended Marketing Tools” series – where successful bloggers share the marketing tools they couldn’t live without. Co-authored by James Richman.

Most successful bloggers are not only great storytellers. They know the best and most effective tools of the trade too.

In collaboration with James Richman of 1stWebDesigner, we’ve asked some of the most influential bloggers as to what are their 3 most recommended tools for content creation and promotion.

Kristi Hines

Kristi is one of the most trusted freelance bloggers in the online space.

Her blog Kikolani covers blog marketing and blogging tips for personal, professional, and business bloggers.

Tools Kristi Can’t Live Without

I am a marketing tool addict. I love seeking out new tools that can simplify specific areas of my business. While I was only asked to share three tools that I couldn’t live without in my business, I couldn’t help but sharing five that I use on a daily basis.

Cyfe

One of the biggest challenges of being a soloprenuer is finding the time to manage my clients and my business. I use a lot of different platforms for advertising, email marketing, invoicing, publishing, SEO, social media, and web analytics.

Cyfe is an all-in-one dashboard software that allows me to see data from most of the platforms I use in one place. It saves me a LOT of time – without it, I would have to go to Facebook Insights, FreshBooks, Google Analytics, MailChimp, Moz, and several other websites to see my business data on a daily basis.

Rival IQ

Competitive research can be a great teacher when it comes to marketing strategies. I use Rival IQ to keep up with other freelancers in my space to analyze their website, search, and social media strategy. I also use it to help my clients identify areas in their online marketing that could use some improvement based on what their competitors are doing.

My favorite feature is the ability to quickly compare multiple business’s website titles, Twitter bios, Facebook descriptions, and other social taglines and get alerted when competitors make changes to any of these. It’s a great way to make sure your business is offering what your customers want.

Oktopost

As a freelance writer, one of the things I do for my clients is promote the content I create. This helps them accomplish their content marketing goals, including traffic generation, social engagement, and conversions. Oktopost allows me to promote content to all of my social channels in one platform and get social engagement and click through analytics.

My favorite feature is the ability to not only post to my social profiles, but also to Facebook and LinkedIn groups. Thanks to the analytics Oktopost provides, I can see which groups offer the most engagement for my content and keep up with comments that need replies within each group.

Danny Brown

While Danny blogs about marketing and social media and where we’re heading, he also blogs about what it means to us as humans.

How we can tell better stories; be better businesses; and live better lives. After all, business comes and goes; but we only get one shot at being good people, in life and in business. He’s the co-author of Influence Marketing: How to Create, Manage, and Measure Brand Influencers in Social Media Marketing.

3 Tools Danny Can’t Live Without

Sprout Social

It’s the only social media dashboard worth using if you’re serious about keeping tabs on engagement levels, topics that are important to you, and a mobile experience that replicates the desktop one perfectly.

It’s not as cheap as Hootsuite, but the features are more than worth the investment (besides, Hootsuite gets pretty expensive if you want the kind of reporting that comes with your Sprout Social license).

Buffer

It’s just perfection. Everyone is busy, and not always around when it comes to growing awareness of you or your brand.

Buffer makes it simple to schedule content delivery, and at a time when it makes sense for your audience. Their analytics are useful for seeing what type of content works, and they just make the web a better place.

MailPoet

This is a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to create email lists, forms, newsletters, and more.

Their features are excellent, they complement the most popular email services, support is awesome, and the metrics really help you understand how effective (or not) your email list is. Excellent, and the one I recommend every time.

Jacob Cass

Jacob Cass is a strategic, multi-disciplinary designer & Art Director who has worked with clients such as Disney, Jerry Seinfeld, Red Bull, Nike & VitaminWater.

Although his skill set is vast, his major skill sets lie in the world of art direction, visual design, brand identity design, brand strategy, UX, UI design, interactive design (mobile + web design) and print design.

Buffer

It allows me to find great content to share, across multiple platforms, as well as give key insights to each post.

Follow Up Then

Allows me to follow up with people I email.

DropBox

Allows me to easily share files while having peace of mind.

Michael Q. Todd

Michael is the author of The 7 Pillars Book – daily updating guide to your building your online presence. He connects and promotes great people who will make a bigger difference by collaborating than individually.

He continually studies social media tools and strategies especially Twitter and Google+ to better facilitate that. Michaels goals are eradication of poverty and a sustainable economy by 2015. Prevention of the death of as many species as possible

3 Tools Michael Can’t Live Without

3 Tools Brian Can’t Live Without

Buffer

Saves me time every day and allows me to quickly schedule social content for the weeks ahead while keeping in mind the unique nuances of each social channel I’m active on.

MailChimp

Allows me to quickly create a weekly newsletter that’s beautiful, simple and engaging. It’s a free way to build a healthy list of subscribers.

Contactually

Helps act as a mini-CRM to help me better manage the contacts in my greater network. Love using it on the go on mobile to help me better manage relationships with others when I have extra time.

Neal Rodriguez

Neal helps mid-sized businesses and enterprise level organizations meet and exceed the objectives for which their websites were developed.

He has a 10 year track record in generating exposure and revenue for companies from the search engines – SEO – major social media platforms, and everywhere else on the web.

4 Tools Neal Can’t Live Without

I’m not the typical marketer who solely uses tools developed specifically for marketing activities. As a content marketer, I help clients and myself develop content that has the best chance of securing viral exposure.

I use several tools for this, such as Google Trends, the Reddit Top section, and just recently I’ve found BuzzSumo to be key in finding content that has enjoyed viral or at least the most exposure among a given topic. From there I aim to tie it to a brand’s vertical and develop content ideas. I could also get ideas from random things that are occurring in my life at the moment.

Google Trends

BuzzSumo

Majestic

I also use some tools that are developed for marketing purposes. Such as Google’s Keyword Planner and Majestic. These are mostly SEO plays; they tell me how popular keywords are and the quantity and quality of links that are pointing to a website I may want get a link from.

Keyword Planner

Jeremy Goldman

Jeremy Goldman has been working with companies looking to take their operations online and inject “social” into their processes for over a decade.

Under Jeremy’s leadership, Kiehl’s won the 2009 WebAward for Outstanding Achievement in Web Development, achieved a Top 25 ranking in the L2 Digital IQ Index in the Beauty & Skincare category, and received a Top 50 Facebook IQ ranking amongst all luxury brands.

3 Tools Jeremy Can’t Live Without

Buffer

Such an easy to use interface that lets me send content to multiple social platforms at once. Plus, as someone always on the go, the ability to easily schedule content for the perfect time is a must.

Evernote
As a digital marketer, this is an no-brainer. Evernote lets me quickly and easily store random ideas for blog posts that pop into my head, wherever I am. If I find an article that inspires me, I can email that to Evernote, or use their easy Chrome extension to clip content. It’s the second brain I never knew I needed.

SocialBro

The most underrated platform out there for managing and parsing your Twitter following, SocialBro lets me surface interesting and unexpected relationships, create dynamic Twitter lists, target my content at the perfect time, and so much more.

Francisco Rosales

Francisco works with small and mid-size business on creating and implementing successful online strategies through social media, advertising, content and email marketing.

He is also author of the online courses “Likeable to Profitable” and “Email Marketing [not so] 101.” As well as he offers training and consulting and blogs at SocialMouths, an award-winning social media blog.

3 Tools Francisco Can’t Live Without

Mailchimp

Basically because I use email marketing as a lead generation tool, and there is nothing online that can compare to the effectiveness of email to drive conversions. Mailchimp simply because I consider it the best ESP in the market by far.

Facebook Power Editor

Just because Facebook practically killed organic reach doesn’t mean the platform no longer works to generate leads and drive business. The opportunities Power Editor offers to tap into different kinds of audiences of highly targeted prospects is not available anywhere else.

Insightly

I use Insightly as my CRM. Many of us focus too much on marketing and then drop the ball on sales. This gives me visibility of the opportunities and the relationships being established at the business level.

We hope these recommended tools by some of the influential bloggers help you better craft your content as well. Writing great articles is just half the battle. You need the most efficient tools as well to aid in your promotion and getting your content discovered by more and more people.
