But I Have NOTHING To Advertise!
When someone signs up for this opportunity as an affiliate, they have three responsibilities to meet in order to receive commission payments:
1) purchase and use EPC in a timely manner
2) read affiliate and retail ads for a minimum of 30 minutes weekly
3) promote the business in a professional and responsible manner
Today, I'm going to go over #1 - the purchase and use of EPC (electronic posting credits).
When we join, we pay a one-time registration fee of $10.65 and must purchase a minimum of one EPC for another $10.65 for a grand total of $21.30. After that, any additional advertising purchases are strictly up to the affiliate. Of course, additional purchases of EPC means more advertising opportunities and more paying positions so most affiliate purchase on a regular basis: monthly, weekly and even daily. The more positions we have, the more we earn in commissions. Some members have 500 positions or more. Right now, I have about 175 positions and counting. In fact, I'll be increasing that by ten later tonight.
Now with all those EPC, I have some serious advertising space available to me. Luckily I have another home business that I advertise. But I get asked by many affiliates "How do I use my EPC when I have nothing to advertise?"
Good question!
Now when we are told to use our EPC "in a timely manner", we are talking about one year from the time of purchase. That's quite a bit of time if you want to build up your EPC until you are able to post on a more valuable board. Some people aren't happy with the "general list" so they save EPC until they can post on the "silver list" or "gold list". That is perfectly acceptable. There is a "platinum list" as well which will post your ad for 52 weeks. Most certainly the best value for your dollar.
Currently, there are about 25 categories for placing ads. There is everything from agriculture to announcements to auctions to books to collectibles to real estate to travel to pets.
If you wish to have an "online garage sale", our Ad Forums is a great place to sell most anything.
The announcements category is very popular as well. Wish someone special a Happy Birthday or Congratulations or other well wishes for thousands to see. Announce a new baby in the family or an upcoming wedding. Anything you'd like the world to know about!
You can certainly use your EPC to advertise your favorite charity, church event or community project. It's a great way to gain exposure for any organization that's near and dear to your heart.
If you have a recipe that you'd like to share, we even have a Cooking and Recipes category. Use your EPC to share a family favorite with other cooking enthusiasts.
Have you taken a special vacation trip and you'd like to tell us about your experience? We have a Travel category just for you.
How about a local business that you felt went out of their way for you? Do them a favor by giving them a little plug on our Ad Forum. Whether your hair dresser did an excellent job or a mechanic provided exceptional service or a restaurant served you the best lasagne you've ever tasted, we'd all appreciate reading about it.
In other words, it's not difficult at all to use your EPC.
But there are other options. How about "selling" your EPC to a business? Simply explain to them you have the opportunity to advertise to 20,000+ internet purchasers. You can set your price for your EPC and place the ad for them. An excellent opportunity to create another income stream.
Of you can transfer your EPC to another affiliate. Occasionally, there are ads posted asking for EPC donations. Some may be for charity purposes. Some may be for business ads. Some affiliates may be willing to pay for EPC as well. Again, another income stream. We even have our own auction site where you can auction off your EPC.
Well I think I've covered pretty well every way to use your EPC. Something for everyone!Tomorrow, I'll cover 30 minutes of ad reading.
