Panthera November Proof of Payment

It was another good month for Panthera with me.

IPSOS on Offersquest

Offersquest

Offersquest is offering some of the best IPSOS offer out there right now. The include age-targeted panels and panels for moms.

Brand Institute Proof of Payment

Well things are looking good for the new Brand Institute VIP program.  Just as promised, third quarter payments came to Paypal (they also will send a check if you prefer) this morning. This was for my referrals having completed only 8 surveys (I talked about how their structure works here).  So as you can see, this program has only upside!

Think Action Proof of Payment 10-30-09

Proof of payment from Think Action (affiliate network for the Greenfield family of market research companies).

Max Bounty Proof of Payment (November)

Proof of Payment from 11-12-09 from Max Bounty.

NPD Research

Several networks are offering different programs to support NPD Research. But the best one I am seeing right now is with Max Bounty. They have four different offers that are all very strong and can recruit from the USA and Canada.

Global Test Market currently running on OffersQuest

OFFERSQUEST

Currently this is the only affiliate network I am aware of that has Global Test Market open for promotion to any country. So whether you have domestic or international traffic, they'd be good to pick up now.

Say Nation Proof of Payment 11-9-09

I am up to more than $300 in amazon.com gift card codes thanks to Say Nation.

If you haven't joined them yet, you can do so here(and my code, if you are so inclined, is 9869885073.

Congratulations to MaxBounty

As my readers of this blog know, I have been very pleased by what I have seen from MaxBounty.

So I wanted to take a moment to congratulate them. I got the following email this morning:

"I am pleased to announce that MaxBounty has just been ranked as one of the top 20 performance marketing networks by Revenue Performance's Online Advertising BlueBook. Revenue Performance, originally named Revenue Magazine, is one of the leading sources of business strategies, innovative marketing methods, effective online advertising techniques and emerging trends in technology for internet marketers. Their Top 20 list is the result of aggregating expert views, traffic data, measures of industry influence and many other pieces of information that they have researched. You can view the full rankings here:
http://bluebook.mthink.com/top20

Considering the performance marketing industry is populated by hundreds of affiliate networks, CPA networks, leads exchanges and co-registration providers, it is a tremendous honor to be ranked in the top 20 alongside such companies as Commission Junction, LinkShare, and MediaTrust.

We like to think that our 5+ years experience as a network, and surviving all the change this industry has seen over those years while many of our competitors fell to the wayside, contributed to our ranking. We also like to think that the high-level of service we provide to our affiliates also helped.

We look forward to working with each of you as we strive to move up the rankings."

I agree! A well-deserved recognition!

Say Nation Proof of Payment

SayNation is becoming one of my favorite survey programs these days. The combination of a great, robust, steady stream of nicely paying surveys combined with an outstanding referral program is great.

I often get 2-5 surveys from them a day. And, currently, if you refer a member and they complete the sign up process you will both get 1,200 points. I tend to cash mine out for Amazon.com gift codes. I have been letting those pile up and plan to use them for holiday shopping.

One came in my email just last night.

If you haven't joined them yet, you can do so here(and my code, if you are so inclined, is 9869885073.

Brand Institute VIP Payment Details

I sent Brand Institute an email a week ago as I had closed out my first quarter with them as a VIP at the end of September. But I couldn't find details on the VIP site about how and when referral earnings are paid. I didn't hear back.

So I gave them a call. They now show payments as processing which they said means we (as in those who are VIPs) should expect payment in the next 1-2 weeks. They will pay via Paypal or Check, whichever you prefer.

I also asked them to clarify payment structures. For each medical professional you refer, you are paid $10 for each survey they take. For each consumer panelist you refer, you are paid $5 for each survey they take.

OffersQuest Proof of Payment

Palm Research Affiliate Proof of Payment

Palm payments tend to be a bit more delayed, more like on a 45 day net.  But here is the August payment, which arrived in October.

CPA Storm (Now Adperio) Proof of Payment

Here is the payment for September earnings for what was CPA Storm and is now Adperio.

October Proof of Payment from Panthera

Always love the end of the month when I get to add it all up.  I have had a teeny bit more time this month as one of my kids was home sick, so I have scanned in some of the checks.  Here is my October proof of payment from Panthera.

Global Test Market on EngageIQ

EngageIQ is one of my newer affiliate programs (new to me, not new in general).  They continue to have great customer service and am finding that their offers a strong too.  Not as many (in terms of surveys) but solid all the same.  They are offering one of the best CPL rates for Global Test Market right now. 

Think Action Payment On Its Way

Payment is on it's way from Think Action.

Will post when I get it.  They have had some great offers this month, so it should be a good earnings month there for me.

Zoom Panel Down on Max Bounty

Well, unfortunately, Zoom Panel has been capped for the month with Max Bounty . Hope to see them back soon. Always great when a site you really like is with one of the networks. Panthera doesn't have them back up yet, either.

EngageIQ

EngageIQ is a new affiliate program I just learned about this week after being contacted by one of their affiliate managers. They approved my application quickly and have had very good personal service. I went through their survey offers this morning and they had several good ones. The best one right now was definitely Synovate. Will keep you posted on conversions and payment.

CPA Storm is now Adperio

CPA Storm has now changed names become Adperio. So far, at least on the surface, I am not seeing much of a change or difference, but we will see. I need to dig into it a bit more.

Foucs Forward Affiliate Program

Well, it's a mix of good news and bad news for Focus Forward and those who refer people to them. I'll start off by saying that Focus Forward is a very strong survey company. They offer great surveys, interactives and in person focus groups and their payment tends to be stronger than most.

For awhile they have had an affiliate program where you can refer people to them, but you had to manually go on their web site and enter the person's first name and email address to sign them up.

The good news? You don't have to do that anymore. Now they offer you a personalized link you can use.

The bad news? Their payment used to be $2 whenever a person you signed up took their first survey. So you didn't get paid until they actually completed a survey. That is still the case, but the payment has dropped to $1.

All in all, I still really like them. While it's not the strongest affiliate program out there, it's still worth joining.

Zoom Panel and Max Bounty

Received an email from Panthera that they have taken Zoom Panel down (I assume temporarily). So it you are looking for an affiliate program offering Zoom, Max Bounty seems to be the way to go now as it's live with them.

Best Payment for Health Views Survey Panel

Panthera came out today with the best payment for the popular "Health Views" survey that I have seen by a long shot. This is a great survey panel for people to do surveys about health care and doctor/patient relationships.

Opinion Outpost Affiliate Program

Opinion Outpost now has a panel offered through Panthera for male beer drinkers ages 21-40. Not sure that it's going to be very hard to find that group, but they are offering it through Panthera all the same. And the payout is very strong. Definitely worth checking out.

ThinkAction Network - Make Money!
Also am seeing some very good, strong converstions with the new panels on ThinkAction including their Energy, Health and Dex panels.


Finally, Palm Research has a program out right now where they are signing people up for Pinecone Research (United Kingdom). As you all likely know, Pinecone has managed to create a "most sought after" status for themselves in the world of surveys, so being about to (legitmately) offer that link is a big bonus for your readers.

Quizpoints Referral Program

QUIZPOINTS REFERRAL PROGRAM
I have been with QUIZPOINTS for quite some time now. The offer points for taking daily surveys, shopping, etc. You cash out your points for Paypal cash or gift cards. You are also paid for everyone you refer to them (10 points). I was paid today, so thought I'd post a proof of payment shot, too.

Palm Research Affiliate Program

Palm research is a newer survey panel that has a steady stream of international surveys available. They, right now, have three different programs:


PR1904 Panel

You provide links for people to sign up. They, in turn, can take a survey every 24 hours (once a day), and with each survey taken, you earn $1.00. This campaign allows for incentives as you can pay your members a portion of your earnings. Upon completion of survey, user is automatically entered into drawing for $50,000.

PR1407 Panel

Their second panel option. Users can take a survey every 24 hours (once a day), and with each survey taken, you earn $1.00. You may incentivize this campaign and pay your members any part of that dollar to take the survey.

Or...


(This is the one I like)
Palm Research General Campaign
You sign up members to the site and earn 10% of their account total every month.
Users can take 2 surveys (1 from PR1904 and 1 from PR1407), every 24 hours (once a day). For each survey taken, members earn $1. You may incentivize this campaign and pay your members to sign up for our website.

Max Bounty

I just learned about Max Bounty affiliate network last week when a poster in an online forum mentioned them to me. So far, so good. I applied and very quickly got a phone call from an affiliate manager there. I have had a wild week and didn't have a chance to get back to her. To her credit, she called again and explained that she had taken a look at my things and had a good idea of the kinds of offers I was looking for. She sent me links and has been in frequent communication since. So I have spent some time today going through their offers to see what fits.

Toluna USA Referrals through Panthera

Panthera has just begun offering affiliates the opportunity to promotie Toluna. For those of you watching the survey world, Toluna recently acquired Your 2 Cents making it a much mroe robus international survey panel. Your 2 Cents was strong in the US and Toluna had a greeat European presence. Previously, Your 2 Cents didn't have any kind of a referral program, so this is an exciting addition.

Proof of Payment - CPA Storm June

I haven't thought to do this in the past (and can't guarantee I'll do it 100% of the time in the future) but from time to time, I will post proof of payment shots from affiliate programs. Just so you can see that they do pay.

Here is CPA Storm from June.

Think Action - Energy, Cell and Gambling Survey Panels Added

ThinkAction Network - Make Money!

Think Action has announced the creation of a few new survey panels. They have lead caps on them, so they won't be around forever, but they look to be good ones. They are focused on Energy (for residents of Ontario Canada and south Texas), Cell phones (both Sprint and non-Sprint users) and gambling (United Kingdom).

SayNation Referral Program

SayNation is a newer site started right around 2008/2009. They offer their survey takers daily surveys as well as frequent, higher paying ones that are sent out from time to time. Here is how their referral program works. You are given a numeric code. When you refer people to the site, they are asked for the code of the person that referred them. Right now, if they provide a code, both you and they get 1,200 points for doing so. Bear in mind, you can start cashing out with them once you get just over 10,000 points, so you see how quickly this can add up.

If you haven't joined them yet, you can do so HERE(and my code, if you are so inclined, is 9869885073.

MySurvey Affiliate Program

It's no secret that MySurvey is one of the survey sites that not only rewards their members but also pays nicely for referrals. If you are just a member of the site, you are allowed up to 10 referrals, each paying $1.50. However, if you have your own web site, you can sign up for their referral program which gives you the ability to have permament links on your site where you can refer a limitless number of people.

What do you need to know? You can only refer US members through the affiliate program. Only one member per household. And you, yourself, have to stay active as a survey panelist. By their definition, that means you have to complete at least 5 surveys in a 6 month time period.

If you aren't already with MySurvey, you can sign up HERE.

IPSOS Affiliate Program

One of my absolute best-performing affiliate programs right now is IPSOS. As you may know, IPSOS has their own affiliate program that refers you to Share a Sale and CJ. However, Panthera pays even more per lead than either of those. The click through rates are outstanding.

If you aren't already with IPSOS for surveys themselves, you can sign up HERE

E-Poll Affiliate Program

OFFERSQUEST

One of my better performing programs lately has been E-Poll through OffersQuest. Leads are converting nicely and I have heard good feedback from those who have signed up about the program. I have been doing e-poll surveys for years but always thought the affiliate program hosted through their web site was kind of a waste of time. Last time I looked I think it paid something like 30 cents a lead. The affiliate program at Offersquest is paying $1.25 right now. Big difference.

Lightspeed Great Britain Referral Program

Just got word from Panthera Network that they have increased their payment for referring people to Lightspeed International's Great Britain panel. Previous payment was $1.80 (US) per lead and that has increased to $2.00.

Lightspeed is a strong survey program, especially internationally, so this has proved to be a very good program for many.

Opinion Outpost Affiliate Program

You see, this is where these affiliate programs are interesting. If you refer people to the popular ssurvey site Opinion Outpost through their own affiliate program, you are paid $1 per lead. However, several of the affiliate networks also offer them as an option.

CPA Storm currently has them listed for $1.25. So it's worth digging around, even if a site has it's own affiliate or referral program to see if there are better rates elsewhere.

If you are interested in CPA Storm, here is their link:

CPA STORM

Lightspeed Affiliate Program

I have had several people write to me lately wondering what happened to Lightspeed International's affiliate program. They used to manage their own referral program through Lightspeed itself. But that went away several years ago. For those of you who like Lightspeed and want to continue to promote it, you can do so right now through Panthera Network. Their current payout (as of 8/18/09) is very good!

Brand Institute VIP Affiliate

BRAND INSTITUTE

I am just thrilled that they have finally brought their VIP affiliate program back. For those of you who like paid surveys, this is absolutely one of the BEST ones out there. They pay well, have a variety of professional panels and their affiliate program is absolutely outstanding. Definitely worth checking out!

Global Test Market - On OffersQuest

OFFERSQUEST

For those of you who were disappointed when Global Test Market discontinued their affiliate program, there is good news. OffersQuest also offers affiliate programs for GTM for both USA and international members. Payouts are good as well. As of this writing, $1.25 for USA members and 30 cents for international panelists.

Panthera Network increases payment for Opinion World

Panthera just put out a notice that their Opinion World program for Great Britain residents increased from $1.30 to $1.80. So if you are looking to promote that program, it's a good time to pick it up!

Think Action - Voice of America

ThinkAction Network - Make Money!

Just got an email that their Voice of America panel was being taken down.

CPA Storm - Discover Card

CPA STORM

They are offering a $65 payout for successful conversions on a Discover card. Outstanding payment!

Think Action

ThinkAction Network - Make Money!

Think Action is probably one of the first affiliate networks I joined. It is strictly surveys and has all of the Greenfield/Ciao surveys listed. Because it is exclusive to them, they tend to pay the best referral or affiliate rates for referring people to these survey panels. They also offer some great international survey panels.

Share A Sale

Share A Sale has a fantastic collection of gift cards affiliates can offer as well as some great freebies. Their tracking is also excellent.

ROI Rocket

ROI Rocket

I just signed up with them two weeks ago, so am still getting a sense of the program and their offers. Dating, surveys and health and beauty seem to be some of their key areas.

OffersQuest

OFFERSQUEST

These guys are definitely one of the go-to sites in terms of survey affiliate programs. For instance, right now, of the 75 offers they have active, 56 are in the "rewards and surveys" category. You have to have your own domain name to sign up with them. I have only recently started working with them, but so far so good.

Commission Junction (CJ)

Commission Junction

They are huge, and established and well known. And they have a little (or in some cases) a lot of everything. Shopping, retail ecommerce, banking, freebies, surveys, international. You name it, they probably have it. That said, as they are one of the biggest out there, I have personally found better payment percentages and structures with some other affiliate sites, but I do like them and have continued to work with them for years.

CPA Storm

CPA STORM


A very stable affiliate program, I have been with CPA Storm for over two years now and have been happy with them, their offers and customer service. They have a wide array of survey affiliate programs.

Logical Media

A newer affiliate network, for me personally. I haven't promoted a ton of offers through them, but what I have done, I have had success with. So far,I have focused on surveys and freebies, but they appear to also have good medical options.

Panthera Network

I joined Panthera Network back in 2008 and have been nothing if not thoroughly impressed. They have a wide array of offers including:

Surveys
Freebies
Family
Shopping
Business to Business
Careers
Work at Home
Coupons and Discounts and much more!

Best, they actually have tons of offers I would actually personally recommend, which is key for me. They are truly one of my favorite networks.

In particular, I am impressed with their customer service for their affiliate publishers. I often get personal emails from my rep alerting me to offers that might work for my sites and offering tips. They send out nearly daily emails letting you know when offers are changing. So when they say you get personal publisher support, they mean it. They also offer some of the best payouts out there. And they have monthly payments and incentive programs.
