There are many people out there who are making thousands of dollars from commissions by selling and promoting different WebHosting Companies such as HostGator, GoDaddy, DreamHost, BluehostEtc.These are not the only Hosting companies that are providing Affiliate Options; almost all the hosting companies offer affiliate earning possibilities. Eespecially, if your blog teaches about how to blog, how to start a website or around Blogging and hosting niche, Webhosting affiliate can always help to earn more than what you are earning from Adsense or any Ad network.
Here we will look at some of the reasons on how Web Hosting Affiliate programs can help you make handsome money and some of the Aff. programs that you can join.

How WebHosting Affiliate Programs are useful:

High commission payout:
Affiliate Income Proof for Hosting Affiliate
Hosting Affiliate Programs offer insane commissions to those who bring in new sales, for example, HostGator pays a minimum of 50$ commission to the publisher for each sale, they have an inverted pyramid type system where, the more sales you make in a month, the higher the commission for each sale, it can go up to 125$ a sale if you get 21+ sales a month.You might be thinking, “How can these companies afford to pay these insane commissions?” This is exactly what I thought when I first heard about these commissions; then I went through some literature of these hosting companies and their business plan was a pretty good actually.They feel that if someone registers for a new hosting plan with them, these companies are confident in their services that they can hold on to the customer for years to come.Hence they make much more than 50$ from the sale, over time.
Increase in Popularity of building Websites
There is a more interest towards designing websites and building websites these days than there was say 10 years ago.So the market is there, all you need to do is, make sure that you can attract this market to buy through you. This can be done by good SEO, Good use of Coupons (4th Point) as well as promoting through Social Networks.With many people wanting to build websites, they are going to need hosting, so there is a huge market of people arising every day who are wanting to buy hosting.If you have corresponding articles and information, there is no doubt that you will bag some commissions each month.
Suggested Niche for Webhosting Affiliates:
Do not think that you need to have a Domain like HostingReviews.com or HostingDiscounts.com and write only about Hosting topics to earn commissions.There are some other niches that can get you good results as well.Here are some of them –
  • Technology
  • Blogging
  • How to Create/Design Website
  • Coding Tips
  • WordPress/Blogger Tutorials
  • Templates Blog
These are just some of the Topics, which have a good potential to get commissions.You will not believe it when I say that I got my first two commissions from HostGator through a Personal Blog and another from an Education Blog.Even today I am dumbfounded how that happened, but as I said your niche does not have to about Hosting.The central point is whatever be your niche, you earn a fixed commission of a good number of dollars, unlike Adsense or Chitika, which depend mainly on your niche and pay according to the keywords.
Hosting Discount Coupons:
Most of the Hosting Affiliates provide custom coupon codes for you, if someone buys a hosting plan using those coupons, then you can get the commission.If it’s possible, try to make your codes very simple and easy to remember, market these codes at your blog stating the discounts they offer.If you use your coupons well, you can earn a lot more than with any CPC or CPM platform.Coupons give an incentive for users to go and buy a hosting plan for their website.
With the Hosting Companies providing so many opportunities, I think if you just do a little hard work you can surely earn a lot from Hosting Commissions.Make use of this high paying type of Affiliates, I am sure that you will not regret it.

Popular Webhosting Affiliate Programs:

Now, there are many Webhosting companies that you can pick and join their affiliate programs. In most of the cases, joining Webhost affiliate program is free, and I will also share how you can find an affiliate program of any Webhosting. You can also use Affiliate marketplace like CJ, Clickbank to find many high-paying Web hosting aff programs. But, I prefer joining directly to any hosting affiliate.
Some of the suggested ones are: Hostgator,Dreamhost, Bluehost and few more.
Though, don’t try to jump into every hosting affiliate network. Pick the affiliate of hosting which you are using, and you are confident of. For example, at ShoutMeLoud you will notice under suggested Webhosting, there are three programs and all of them is personally used by the team here at SML. So, it’s always a wise advice to suggest something that you are sure of and confident about.
You can always use Google to find if any hosting company offers the affiliate program or not. For example: Hostgator Affiliate program or better search like Site:dreamhost.com affiliate program.
How to promote Webhosting Affiliates:
Like any other hosting affiliate program, you can promote any Hosting Affiliate. Though, here are some tips for newbies to promote any of your Web-Hosting Aff programs:
Write Hosting review:
Write a review of hosting which you would like to promote. Give complete details and technical specification and some strong reasons why you recommend it. Make sure, none of the words should be fake marketing stunt but should be a genuine and personalized review. This will help, readers to pick a genuine Webhosting company. Ex:Hostgator review
Hosting Discount coupon:
All the hosting company offers discount coupon to increase their sale. You can keep an eye on latest hosting discount coupons, by setting up Google alert or follow those blogs or sites, which share latest hosting discount coupon. When ever you find any discount offer, that is hard to resist., share it with your readers by blog Post, Email newsletter, Fan page or Twitter. If the discount period is longer, you can add a banner at prominent space on your Website.
Custom Discount coupon:
Hosting companies like Hostgator, Dreamhost offers their affiliates to create a custom hosting discount coupon. This will help them to increase their sales. For example, here at ShoutMeLoud we have custom coupon “SML97” for Dreamhost hosting, which offers $97 discount. Similarly, you can create your own custom coupon. If you are using your blog to promote it, keep the coupon code close to your brand name.
Put Hosting Banner:
You can find affiliate Banner promotion material under your affiliate panel. Or you can also create create custom ad banner for those hosting affiliate and put it on your site. Custom but attractive banner performs way better than general and common ad banners. (Ad blindness)
Create Hosting Comparision sites:
When I shop for any Web host for me, I usually read lots of review for different hosting company account. Hosting comparision sites are very popular to pick best host. Though, it’s really hard to find genuine one, but if you can create an honest site with great review, comparision and discount coupons, a proper strategy can do wonder to your make money arsenal.

Best way to get ROI for promotions in malls

IF you manage communication and marketing for a shopping mall, please read on for some ideas and examples of how to create promotions, contests and sweepstakes which will help you dynamize publicity. Take advantage of our suggestions and put them in practice with Easypromos. They will help you attract customers, incentivize consumption and loyalize clients.
      
Ideas Shopping malls promotions
Whether or not a shopping mall is successful depends on many factors and variables which should be studied strategically before getting the project underway. These factors include access, location, services, variety of establishments, ease of parking, and so on. But the Online Marketing actions we carry out are also fundamental and play a huge part in attracting consumers or possible clients. Such actions incentivize consumption in the establishments – in terms of both frequency and value; loyalize customers; avoid excessive sales seasonality; encourage the public to try products and services; and develop branding.
Below, we provide some ideas and give you examples that will help you achieve the following objectives:
  1. Photo contest
  2. Promotions groups with discount coupons
  3. Sweepstakes
  4. Pick your favorite contests
  5. Text contests

1. Photo contests

Photo contests are very effective in developing branding. It’s always possible to organize a photocall, or even to improvise one, as long as the logo or name appears in the background.

Here’s an idea:

Usually shopping malls are full of posters containing the logo and name of the mall, so it should be quite simple to propose a photo contest in which users have to upload a photo of themselves with the logo in order to qualify for the prize. As a prize you can raffle free workshops for children, allowing parents to shop more easily or enjoy an afternoon in the cinema.

Here’s an example:

photo contest shopping mallThe San Cugat Shopping Mall proposed a photo contest in which visitors were encouraged to take a photo of themselves somewhere in the mall and enter it with the hashtag #momentssancugatcc. 
We suggest you enable participation from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram via hashtag. You will increase participation if you facilitate routes to entry.

2. Promotions group combined with discount coupons

It’s likely that various establishments in the shopping mall will have offers or promotions. It’s a good idea to group these promotions together, so that before customers reach the mall they can find out if there are any interesting promotions on. You can create a promotions group, combined with discount coupons, promoting different types of establishment: cinemas, restaurants, entertainment stores and fashion stores.

Here’s an example:

One example is the Heron City Coupons Campaign, in which customers were offered discounts.
coupons
The more promotions, the better. If one of them happens to fit the needs of the client at that time, or if it is sufficiently attractive enough, it will bring that customer to the shopping mall.

3. Sweepstakes

Sweepstakes are a very useful tool for obtaining a customer database. By simply providing their details, participants will be entered into a sweepstake for a specific prize. Easypromos now also gives you the chance to ask your users to validate their email address.
We explain how to validate the email addresses of participants to obtain a database with high-quality leads.

Here’s an idea:

Carry out a sweepstake offering the chance to win an attractive prize to all customers who have visited the mall on a specific day and made a purchase. Inform all the establishments as they can be the ones to inform customers. In this way, you will obtain a comprehensive database with which to carry out a subsequent email marketing campaign with the aim of communicating future events or promotions. Winning customers will need to present proof of purchase when claiming their prize.

Here’s an example:

sweepstake

The shopping mall Airesur usually raffles products connected with coming events or special holidays. In this case it was Easter. Other examples could be tickets to upcoming soccer games.
sweepstake 2

4. Pick Your Favorite combined with the recruiting system

The Pick Your Favorite application offers many possibilities and it’s one of the easiest types of promotions to take part in. Users can participate with just one click.

Here’s an idea:

If your objective is to sell more cinema tickets, we suggest you use the Pick Your Favorite application. Show a trailer with all the movies that will be onscreen soon and ask users to vote for the film they’d most like to see. As a prize you could award winners with free tickets to the movie of their choice. If you combine this with the recruiting system, the prize could be for the winner and three recruited friends.

Here’s an example:

The Marina Shopping Mall encouraged customers to come to a photo wall that had been set up in the mall and have their photo taken with their partner. The shopping mallwas responsible for uploading photos of participants and the most-voted couple won a gift card which they could redeem at any establishment in the mall. In this way they were able to combine two promotional actions – one online and one offline.
photo wall

5. Text contest

Text-based contests offer a simple dynamic that is usually very well received by users. It is simple to participate with a phrase from any mobile device, and if you also allow Facebook and Twitter participation you facilitate participation even further. Hold your text-based contest on an important day such as Father’s Day.

Here’s an idea:

Set up a text-based contest in which clients have to say what they most like or value about the mall using a single phrase. In this way you will collect a great deal of information about what it is your customers most value about your mall. You will be able to use this information later for future promotional actions, publicity or communication.


Here’s an example:

The Madrid Sur shopping mall asked its customers to explain in which ways they and their children are “like father like son.”
like father like son

The possibility for online promotions in shopping malls is infinite. In future posts we will continue to offer you ideas and examples of shopping malls that have counted on Easypromos, hopefully inspiring you to carry out your own promotions.

11 BEST WAY TO PROMOTE YOUR APP

Working in a mobile apps dev company for 2 years now, I’ve interacted with various business owners and entrepreneurs who invested lots of $$$ in building their apps, all in vain unfortunately.
It’s not because their idea was not original or the app had oodles of bugs, but rather the false expectation of immediately reaping the rewards after uploading their apps on App Stores.
For small businesses, it’s almost always a tough call when it comes to bearing the cost of marketing and promotion. So they end up giving a backseat to marketing and relying solely on hopes and dreams to make it. For a fact, not everyone gets by with the same luck as Dong Nguyen.
If you’re from the same small businesses and entrepreneur pool, having just launched your prized race horse app and ready to market it, but being held back due to a budget restriction, this article is for you.
I’ve gathered 11 tried-and-true methods that will let you market your app just right, so that it gets a nice spot on the app store and sets you on the road to success.
Let’s get to it then.

1. Get in Touch

The marketing of a product ideally starts before its birth. Do not rely solely on your development company during the building phase; identify authentic, honest influencers & entrepreneurs who have similar interests as far as your app goes.
You have to put your people skills to the test and forge a healthy business relationship with them. Once they let their guard down, let them know about your app’s current status and value every ounce of feedback they hurl at you. They may very well act as the brand ambassador of your app once it’s launched.

2. Customers Are Your “Press”

Customers are the backbone of any business and it is because of them many businesses enjoy continued success.
According to Bain and Co., “…a 5% increase in customer retention can increase a company’s profitability by 75%”. Retain your customers by letting them know about your app’s idea and ask them what they would really like to see in it. How can you make the app more savvy and beneficial for them? Remember, your customer has their own audience and if you’re able to convince them, you’ll be hitting all the right notes to bolster your success and staying power.”

3. Leverage Your Mobile Website

If you have a mobile website that gets a decent amount of traffic, it’s time to use that to your app’s advantage. These people are ideal candidates for a ‘targeted group’ who will be happy to use your app right from the get go. Take special care while working on the architecture and think how you can make it easy for them to spot your app.

4. Feature the App in an Official Blog

Write a complete story about your app and let your audience know the purpose behind it. Tell them how this app can facilitate and make things easy for them. Include your app links, screenshots and videos to help them get a good understanding.

5. Focus on Emails

Emails still have their charm provided they’re used under the right circumstances. According to a study by Exact Target, “91% people check their email daily”. Capitalize by incorporating your app links into newsletters, customer service emails and also make it a habit to use it in email signatures.

6. Create a Demo Video

Choose the most creative person in your organization to nail this part down. Create a video that clearly speaks out its purpose. Make it humorous, entertaining and informative so that your audience can easily relate to it. Publish it in your official YouTube channel and also embed it within content you’ll be producing in future.

Here is a great example of a nice app teaser byEverything Butt Art.

7. Consider Alterative App Stores

Do not rely only on Google Play & App Store; there are various other app stores on the online market where you can upload your app. According to One Platform Foundation, if an app is submitted on other relatively less popular stores, it will increase the expected downloads 200% more compared to Google Play.
These are some very good app stores that you should consider:

8. Apply for Awards

Participating in app awards is the most recommended channel and I would highly suggest you take advantage of it. It can give you tons of press, exposure, reviews and plenty of downloads. Although the chances of winning very much depend on your pitch and app idea, however, if you manage to get things right the first time, you can expect to enjoy a little stardom.
These are some of the most famous app awards sites:

9. SEO Matters Here

Yes, I’m talking about SEO not ASO… what happens is your app URL shows up in search results when users key-in related queries; for example when they look up music apps, you want your app to start popping up among the first 5 entries or so, before users hit Enter.

All you need to do is identify “best-targeted” keywords that you want to rank for. Also analyze which keywords your app is currently ranking on, build some quality links accordingly to boost rankings.
For this purpose, try these two awesome tools.

10. Reach Out Like Mr. Fantastic

Don’t rely on App Stores alone. Explore Google’s search engine and believe me it can do wonders for your app.
Let’s say your app is related to music; Google the term “best music android apps” and see what results you get.
mobile app builder
Out of these 5 top results, at least 4 of them are high authority blogs that can be contacted toyou’re your app featured. If you get this shot, you can kill more than a few birds with one stone. Getting your app featured offers long-term benefits such as:
  • Exposure
  • Targeted Traffic
  • Powerful Link-building
  • Rating & Reviews

11. Join Developers & Entrepreneurs Groups on Social Media

Increase your visibility on social media groups & communities, especially Linkedin, Google+ and Facebook, to become better known among entrepreneurs & app developers go.
Ask for their feedback on your app and give them free promo codes to try it out. Discuss current features, bug fixes, future updates and value their opinion. You can build great relationships with them which might present the opportunity to cross promote each other’s apps without spending a cent.
