I have been working with my team pretty intensely over the past 36 hours on releasing a free version of our SuperAffiliate program that offers Free Websites, services and support. This is in response to our initial launch that saw strong success among our partners but little outside of that.
The Free Affiliate Program will have 2 tiers of recurring commission payouts of 20% (tier 1) and 5% (tier 2) and there will be no bonus for referrals. The commissions will be paid on subscriptions to Paid Website Plans. There are two plans that can be purchased:
Ad-Free
$14.95 per month
$149.50 per year
Value
$24.95 per month + $19.95 Setup Fee (one time)
$249.50 per year + $19.95 Setup Fee (one time)
Commissions are paid upon each time the plan is renewed and the setup fee is a onetime charge and therefore is only given commission on once. We hope you all will check it out, as there are no catches to signing up and we have worked very hard in getting all of this up and running in such a short time. We have also put up lots of marketing tools, banners and ads to help our Affiliates and SuperAffiliates promote themselves without having to come up with their own advertising!
That's all for right now and hopefully I can bring you good news of the new program before 6:00pm EST.

Network Marketing...HELP!!!
Since I have delved into the world of network marketing with the omnEpresence launch of website services and their new affiliate program I have come across several places along my journey. Just looking around for sites that offer pointers and people that can help me better the product offering or tweak affiliate settings to better promote the program and increase leads I have found the number of people that feel you spam them when asking for advice is astounding ( I really shouldn't be surprised on the internet, but I digress). I recently joined a site: http://www.netmarketingforum.com and have had my share of ups and downs. I learned about Traffic Exchanges which seem to offer a mixed bag of results, I get hits on the site and some look around but not really any generated leads or signups.
I also learned about affiliate networks are REALLY big on free stuff. The more you give them, the more they are willing to give you program a try. Since joining that forum there has been a "revelation" on my part as to needing a free Affiliate program before asking people to just shell out $199.00 and so this was brought up to my employers and we are revising the program. I tried asking for some advice on the forums as to the nature of free affiliate programs and what should be offered but got little help See This Thread. I was really disappointed in regards to more people were concerned with me trying to spam the forums, and while I respect their effort to help keep their forums free of people joining to just spam the forums with affiliate marketing nonsense, I was actually asking for help. One post was actually helpful while the others wanted to shower me with spamming and yet a mod hasn't removed the post (thank you). I found a few people their who have messaged me privately and are working with me so I view it had moderate success, but I also feel that I shouldn't have to defend myself when asking for legitimate help, again, I digress.
I have spent the last 6 months working as a developer for this project and so when I ask for help it tends to be legitimate and I have a lot of attachment to here with all the work and effort I have put into it.
Anyone who runs through this entry please, if you have any advice to give me on what would make this program better feel free to let me know what I am doing wrong, right, or just offer advice. It would all be much appreciated. Thanks and the FREE affiliate program is in the works right now.

New Free Website Service
There are a lot of little startups out on the internet that offer free website services. Most of them, to be honest, are just down right terrible. They offer no support outside of a small, useless FAQ, or if they have any kind of support you find yourself wishing you had just gone and spent the money to get a paid hosting plan and hiring a developer before you even get a response back from the company. I do a lot of web development work personally, however not everyone needs to pay for a developer to make a site that just fits basic needs. A developer, like myself, does have various site templates at my disposal that just require tweaks in colors, Look and Feel, and content to speed up production and ease however there still is a price tag to be paid.
I do a lot of affiliate marketing and ended up stumbling upon a free website service to resell. www.omnegold.com/jameys
The site links to both the website service and the affiliate service but that carries a $199.00 price tag and I won't bother ranting too much about that until I start getting paid back on my work. If you take a look at the free website section it goes into detail about the various plans they offer. I was really shocked to see that they offer technical support with the free plans. You get a phone number to call, leave a message and someone calls you back, or you can submit trouble tickets and get responses in < 24 hours (I played dumb and sent a few just to be sure).
I decided to give it a sample run and signed up for the free website service and a free subdomain so I could get out without paying anything. After I was all signed up I had to wait about five minutes to actually be able to log into my account. I was immediately presented with breaking down the categories so it would narrow down my choices of which templates I would look at. I selected a template and began customizing my site. Once I was finished with the customizations I published my site, and everything looked pretty good. I didn't care for only being restricted to 4 pages, but I guess that's where they make their money. They also have a lot of features locked out of their control panel, such as e-commerce shopping carts, picture galleries and other nice configurations that you have to purchase any plan other than the free plan to gain access to.
Anyhow, that's my short, sweet little review of this little nugget I found. Let me know what you think, or comment with your own review.
