Site Build It Is Now On CJ!

[StephenR]

I was running through CJ last night and noticed our pal Ken Evoy partnered up with them for Site Build It! SiteSell joined the CJ network on 03 Apr. Sweet!

If you signup to promote Site Build It! through CJ you'll earn:

• $75.00 per sale
• 120 day cookies
• NET 30 payment

I'm pretty sure this is the first time they have released their product on a network. Their own in-house affiliate program is incredibly robust but I guess it's only a matter of time before you have to test the network waters.

Thanks Stephen, I meant to post that when I saw it a few days ago.
I was thinking about changing links over but just made a few sales
(even though I barely promote it) so thinking maybe I should just stick
with the old links.

You switching or testing?

[StephenR]

Switching. I haven't really promoted SiteSell in quite some time even though I love the product (launched my very first site with them!). Their marketing backoffice is OK but I'm doing a lot more promotions via CJ and ShareAsale as of late. It's much easier keeping track of campaigns through the networks nowadays.

Hi Stephen

Very interesting that you are switching to CJ. I guess that emphasizes the point that some people are more interested in being able to manage all their stats within one network. It will be interesting to see how many others will do the same. I will definitely stick with the internal program because the lifetime commissions have been very sweet as of late and you don't get that with CJ.

Good point Lisa.

I've been toying with the idea of switching but you made a good case for staying with the indie.

The other benefit of the Indie is that links and cookies probably don't get blocked or deleted by anti-spyware programs as much as CJ's links and cookies do.

Ahhhh...yes, didn't even think about that!

Oooo...good point there.

SiteSell's main reason for joining CJ was to get more exposure to other affiliates who may not have necessarily found the 5P Program through SiteSell.com.

Plus some CJ affiliates will buy from their own links and you lose the commission. Whereas with the internal program, if someone buys from their own affiliate link, SiteSell's system is setup so it credits the referring affiliate.

Several people I've referred to SiteSell have bought multiple SBI! sites and that's when the lifetime commissions the internal program offers really becomes valuable.

Thanks for posting this great, accurate information about the CJ program Linda and Stephen. We're all interested in hearing what folks think about the CJ program. I guess it makes it easy see all your CJ merchant stats in one place.

But for anyone who is trying to choose, the 5 Pillar inhouse program has many advantages over the CJ program and always will.

As was mentioned you not only have lifetime customers and a 2nd tier of "partners" to help you but the available landing pages and marketing tools... and the almost weekly 5 Pillar Report to give them guidance... are really designed to help make our 5 Pillar affiliates succeed. We are committed to them first.

Just Google "Site Build It" to see all the available landing pages we offer. Each one offers a different entry point into SBI! and gives a different perspective depending on interest or need. We have MANY more where they come from.

The right landing page means a more focused PREsell and ultimately better conversions. That's what it's all about.

I'd love to hear if anyone has other opinions. I'm here to learn.

Hey Rick,

Big 5 Star welcome! I was hoping you would post. I'm sure our members will be happy you are here and it's great to have you on board.
