MoreNiche, Great Affiliate Company

by ·

Just earlier today I received a mail from the mailman that again mispronounces my surname. I was actually wondering what where did that mail came and why. I’m sure I don’t have upcoming affiliate checks and it’s impossible to receive mail from friends this time of the year. So well the first idea I had is maybe its the $135 Market Leverage gift card I won on Tyler’s contest. They’re quick huh!

But anyway I just opened it and was surprised with the content. Its actually a season greetings card from MoreNiche Affiliate Network. I understand it came late because they’ve sent it out December 20. I live here in Philippines so it really takes long before anything that is sent can be received here. Here is how it looks:

Although there’s no cash inside it, I am touched because I have stopped doing campaigns on offers on them for almost a year now. You might remember me having a check w/them before that almost expired due to the fact that I don’t have a bank dollar account during those times. Anyway back to them, MoreNiche is really one of the highest paying affiliate network there is. I remember the time I am making $200 w/them every 15 days with a certain poker/gambling offer. MoreNiche also loves their affiliate so much. As a matter of fact, new signup immediately gets $45 on their account and although $100 is the minimum payout, it certainly helps! They also have a forum, one of the best affiliate marketing forum I’ve seen where everyone is willing to help and share something. I don’t know now but before every forum member who gets 50 forum posts will get another $10. Their slogan “helping you make more money” really portrays their network.

Most of the offers are far from the IM niche. From weight loss offers to viagra to gambling and a whole lot more. If you’re good with those offers then its a sure thing you have to sign up w/them…

My Check Is Close To Expiring

more niche check

Like what I have said before, aside from blogging I really do lots of affiliate marketing. I spend my blog’s earnings to it and at the end of the day I just hoped that my investment makes sense. So I recall last April something I got a check from MoreNiche affiliate program. The check isn’t really big, it only amounted to $129 and I worked for it in 15 day, yeah 15 days only. Actually the product that I have promoted there was something about poker and gambling which really converts well.

So back to the check, I think a check expires in 3 months right? So initially to be able to withdraw checks in Philippines, you have to open a dollar account in a bank. The minimum deposit is $300. For some it’s not a problem, for me it’s a huge problem. Why? Because first, $300 is not a small amount, at least for me. Then all the payments that I’ve got go directly to my paypal account and some by wire transfers. Paypal amounts were converted to peso upon withdrawing while wire transfer also works the same way. So the first solution I have got is selling peso to dollars. That time I was thinking that maybe I shouldn’t because if I do, I can’t spend my money to buy things that I need/want.

Months passed by and the check is now close to getting expired. I’m in the tough situation right now because I don’t have money at this point. Everything was re-invested back and some were spent. I think it’s really my fault; I didn’t see this coming and haven’t realized that I have a check in hand. But wait I still have one solution. Maybe I can ask my mom for a $300 (13,000 in pesos) and just pay her afterwards. After all, I learned another lesson.
