Most marketers usually take advantage of stuffs that are startup or unpopular at first, and then make big profits out of it. And I know that well because I have done that a lot of times. In affiliate marketing or whatever, when there’s a new and untested offer that is up, I usually take advantage of it and even “abuse” it as possible. Now I know that its either it could make you quick cash or it can do you trouble but what I do mean by saying “abuse” is to pawn it as quickly as you can before it gets saturated. Marketers are all common for being quick so maybe a day or 2, an offer would all of a sudden be saturated.
So know you’re asking, how can I take advantage of an offer then? or how will I know what to take advantage? Unfortunately I don’t know the answer. đ For me its more of an instinct and bit of luck at my side. Basically, most people spend their time in front of the computer so my advice is to just be productive with spending your time. I mean, do researches, take a look at the newest offer and etc. So know I am gonna share w/you some of my experiences quickly making a buck w/a non saturated stuff (of course it becomes saturated then after some time)
- Performancing Ads – Well its not really me but a good friend of mine who told me to let him anonymous. When Performancing Ads has just started, they are basically paying $10 per referral. That friend is actually a part of SplashPressMedia which happens to have connection w/performancing so he had the inside details and he pretty knew the $10 referral before everyone else did. What happened then? At the end of one week he made $1300 of affiliate commission from Performancing. Pretty quick huh! Now its impossible to duplicate that because PerfAds has changed their affiliate program terms.
- Clickbooth Select Campaign – Now I don’t know if I am gonna be hunted by doing it but what I know is I do it legitimately. So Clickbooth is an affiliate program that pays $10 per signup and 2% lifetime ref commission (I’m talking Clickbooth’s own affiliate program). Before the Wickedfire-Clickbooth dispute I was already promoting it like mad man. The result is $400 on one month just by promoting them. đ After a year, my affiliate manager told me they have just removed it because some affiliates are abusing it. đ
- Dating Offers – Most of the offers I promote before are offers related to dating and more or less there is always a startup dating offer that usually accepts traffic from any part of the world. I just contacted my friends and asked to sign for this offer under my ref. Of course here in my country 85% are interested with dating sites so its another quick buck for me. It’s not really incentivizing but its just I gave them members I know are willing to stay. A month after I had a chat w/the merchant and they told me they have reduced the traffic to US only. And of course they’re too late because I already did my thing.
So those are the stuffs. Again it’s kinda risky because some are notorious for scrubbing leads and so on. But my advice is, if you do it legitimately and nothing against their terms then at the end of the day you’re still the winner
Sometimes it is good to be the very first person to do an idea because if that idea works, most bloggers will trackback to that posts or idea that you came up with and it will send a lot of extra traffic to your blog.

Interesting psot will take this in and when i start projects have a look at your blog interesting blog will bookmark it.
I guess the hard part is trying to find these before anyone else does and implement it first.

Wow I had no idea Clickbank had such a wicked referral system. I think I’m going hop on that right away. It would probably be hard though because it’s a very common program these days.

@melvin, I didn’t think about this before. you are right. if a new company comes up and a very popular blogger joins and blogs about it then lot of readers would join and make a lot of bucks!

Let me correct it. Clickbooth used to have a wicked referral system and now they removed it. I didn’t mention “clickbank” đ
Good post Melvin, really makes me thinking…
I remember when Top Affiliate Challenge Show was still “hot”, and many bloggers took the advantage of to hold their own “Top Affiliate Challenge” via Market leverage. I don’t remember who was it first, but I can only imagine how much money that person made, and after few days most of the blogsphere were doing “Top Affiliate Challenges”. It just means, first come, first get.
