I have to agree. I’m part of the Air Travel affiliate programme, which fits our niche well. Even with a moderate amount of traffic, we’ve done well with Chris’s programme. I especially like the way:

a) Chris pays the whole amount on time, every month.
b) There’s no payment threshold.
c) You get a reasonable $ outcome for every sale.
d) You get an instant email from each sale, making results easy to track
e) The way Chris is willing to work with us to promote his product

And, of course, all this would be worthless unless he was creating a product that makes our audience happy to hear about it and happy to pay for it.

It’s motivated us to build our new ebook affiliate programme along very similar lines. Thanks, Chris.

Sounds like a great affiliate program. You really have to sift through the muck today to find the good ones and you’ve got a good one.

Chris,

Congratulations on creating a sane affiliate program! I have seen all manner of affiliate programs and yours truly makes sense – both for the affiliate and for you. This is a great case study for phenomenal incentive, exclusivity of product, and 80/20. Kudos.

I’ve never been so inspired NOT to apply for something – yet! As a web developer with a decent traffic stream, I have an audience. But it is not the right audience for your guides. Expect an application as soon as my next pet project gains speed and attracts the right audience.

Again, great job! Looking forward to the Unconventional Guide to Marketing!

Chris,
Honest post about affiliate plan. I have no list yet so will wait to become an affiliate. I take notes on everything I read and sometimes even find them later, so writing an article would be easy.

Right now I am trying to inspire my personal e-mail list to sign up for your newsletter. I enjoy your posts and the comments from fellow readers.

Your affiliate program is awesome, Chris, and it has inspired us to create our own in a similar way. We’ll be in touch.
