I decided to contact a couple of C2M Publishers and gather their thoughts on whether or not we have done anything to help their business. In knowing these two publishers, I have two say that both of them are awesome. As a matter of fact, in knowing that they deal with other businesses I respect them that much more to do what they do with us. I would like to take the time right now to thank Bryn and Jesse for taking the time and giving us the feedback. I look forward to meeting you both in Las Vegas for ASW.

These are two guys that dont screw around. They dont piss and moan when things dont go there way. Whether it be a tracking issue, a traffic source, etc…it dont matter. If we screw up, and advertiser screws up or stuff just isnt going their way that day you will never find these guys out there bitching or practicing How To Not Make It. They take everything in, whether it be good or bad and they learn from it. They take everything they hear, see or pickup and they apply it. These are two guys going to build huge business online. These are also two guys you can meet face to face at Affiliate Summit Las Vegas starting Sunday.

Affiliate Managers from other networks, you can gladly piss off.

Most of you reading this blog already know how great Convert2Media is, but Ruck asked me if I would like to share some reasons on why I like Convert2Media so much. I obviously took the opportunity since I really do love this network. I’ve only been with Convert2Media for literally a month and I can honestly say they are the best network I have had the privilege to work with.

What sets Convert2Media apart from the rest?

Well first off, and I think this is one of the most important things is that they have Affiliate Managers that actually know what they are talking about and can give you help/advice on offers. As most of you know Ruck has been an affiliate for years and really knows his stuff in multiple channels of marketing.  Go try and get a hold of the owner of a network and see how much advice or tips they will give you (let alone their time).

I received my first wire payment after only being with them for 11 days. How many people can say that about a NEW network they just signed up with? Not many I bet. Actually I read yesterday in the C2M IRC channel about someone getting a wire after only being with them for 5 days, incredible.

There really is no bullshit with Ruck. He will tell you everything straight up and honest. Sometimes people may feel offended by some things he says but you can’t take that stuff too seriously, it’s for your own good. I would rather a network be completely honest with me and straight forward then to beat around the bush with some corporate bullshit.

From what I have seen their starting payouts on ALL offers are very competitive if not higher than every other network, you don’t need to haggle with your AM for a pay bump just to start an offer, nor do you need to send a ton of traffic first before they will give you a good payout.

They don’t bring in offers that suck. Obviously nobody can weed out bad offers ALL the time but for the most part they know what offers work and do well. They strive to get quality over quantity when it comes to getting offers. Just because some network has 5000 offers, 95% of them could be crap and that’s no good for a new affiliate trying to find something that works.

They treat you like people and not numbers. I don’t really know how to explain this thought but I think it’s just more of a personal feel with C2M, you can really get that feeling that they’re not trying to feed you any crap. Sure all my other Affiliate Managers at other networks like to chat it up all day but when it comes to business they turn can into a different person, especially with the excuses.

I really don’t know how else to explain it but I think Convert2Media will set a new precedent when it comes to Affiliate Networks. If you’re a network owner and reading this I strongly suggest you think about some of the points I talked about (mostly the first one).

I think most of you reading this would agree with me on most things or you probably wouldn’t be subscribed to their blog, which says something already.

And…

Jesse Breslin from Wazzinc Media says:

C2M is different then any other network that is available. They are different because the people that work inside C2M are actually marketers themselves. They know what we look for when we join a network. They really know what works. The two people I contact most is Steve and Ruck. When I first joined C2M I was surprised to see my AM working at 2am in the morning. I am sure there are many publishers like myself that tend to work late throughout the night, but having an AM that is also up and responds to your questions at this time of day is truly valuable. Most of them can probably do well working on their own but choose to stay at C2M because they believe in the companies goals.

I asked Ruck a couple of times, “Where do you see your company in the future?. His first response “I’ don’t look to far into the future, I just work day by day.” I thought this was pretty funny, but what I soon found out had a deeper meaning. Ruck on a daily basis finds and receives many different opportunities that can lead C2M in a entirely different field, a lot of these opportunities can also be very profitable for C2M but Ruck chooses to remain as a network for us publishers. The opportunities that he will put into place will mostly benefit us first. These guys search for campaigns that will work for us, they know the industry and know what to look for. They have training that teaches new and old affiliates different techniques to get more out of your traffic.

One particular strategy that stuck on me was to always qualify your leads. I use this all the time now and it works. I was able to generate over $40,000.00 in revenue over the last week with these guys just by learning their techniques and applying them. No other network teaches you these skills. C2M is one of the best Networks I’ve been with and I believe they will be a leader of networks in no time.

We certainly hope so. Thanks Bryn and Jesse for the outstanding write ups.
