My first attempt at Affiliate Marketing – Rejection

Affiliate Marketing

I admit, I spent a lot of time asking why Google dropped me, thus I was sulking. However, I realized that this won’t do me any good so I started looking for alternatives on how I can make money online even aside from this blog. Well, I browsed and I read a lot of forums, blog posts and other landing pages of ebook selling dudes and decided to pursue, Affiliate Marketing.

My basic idea of Affiliate marketing is that…

  • you promote a product from a company
  • somebody buys what you promote
  • you earn commissions from that company

I also have read that a lot of people are using the Ebay Partner Network and so I decided to apply to it. After a few hours, I got an email I got rejected.

Well, I’m still wondering why I got rejected as this is my first time so has anyone joined the Ebay Partner Network and managed to get in? I would really love to hear your experiences about it. :)

      Well, I dunno why you got rejected, but you could ask them. Or send them a link to this post. Posting about rejection on your blog usually makes their customer service department wake up quickly.

      @Deric – Hmm your address is on the US but your IP is from the Philippines, wouldn’t that raise suspicions? So how did it go? If it was successful, I’d do it too lying about my address. hehe

      @Paul U – Hi Paul, thanks for visiting. I also was declined from CJ, ebay and pepperjam. I did a bit of research and I think it is better to apply directly to Ebay so that is what I’m going to pursue.

      Btw, the smart ads are from Abe’s (Yugatech) advertising network.

      @Ling – The first reason I thought about why I got rejected is because I’m from the Philippines, but seeing the comment of gladita, it seems it is not the case. I did send an email to their customer support about why I got rejected. I hope to get a good answer.

      I was really excited lol, then got I got rejected hehe

      I got approved last July 7. I forgot if I applied through a link at problogger.net I just filled up the details they wanted as completely as I can. Nothing special really. Maybe I just got lucky. :-D

      You know what? the IP didn’t matter. I got approved in 24 hours. The thing is, you wont be able to use it too since you need to enter US tax info. :(

      Affiliate Marketing pays much higher than adsense or adbrite. i signed up with Amazon affiliate program and also on some health stores.

      i tried Affiliate Marketing using amazon, clickbank and others. so far i earn a decent amount of money from them. the secret to earning money on affiliate marketing is none other than lots of website traffic..

      the secret to affiliate marketing is always targeted traffic from developed countries like us, uk and canada. affiliate marketing would not give you a good income if you try it on asian internet traffic.
