Pepperjam’s CEO, Kris Jones, Reveals Affiliate Marketing Money Making Secrets During Interview with Search Marketing Standard
Yeah – I know – the title of this post reads like I’m trying to pump a get rich quick e-book or something.
However, I’m not.
That’s not my style.
I’m just really impressed with the article / interview captured by Joe Whyte about Pepperjam and some of my affiliate marketing philisopies during SES – San Jose.
In fact, when Joe, who writes for Search Marketing Standard, asked me for an interview I actually looked at it as an opportunity to give him some surefire affiliate marketing search arbitrage tricks that he could use to help seed his business – Hybrid SEM. Hybrid SEM is an online marketing business that Joe recently founded with partial inspiration from what I’ve been able to build with Pepperjam (thanks for the props Joe – but always remember – it’s the sum of the parts that makes the ultimate success story.)
Honestly, I think that Joe is an awesome guy and based on my exposure to him over the last few years – Hybrid SEM is going to become a major player in the SEM and SMO spaces within no time.
Anyway – Joe posted the interview he did with me at the Search Marketing Standard website – located HERE.
If you are an affiliate marketer I highly suggest you read the interview since I mention at least one or two things that I haven’t talked about before that should be able to make you a lot of money if you are able to execute.
Remember.
(1) Find something that works. (2) Replicate it. (3) Scale it.
That’s my philosophy as it relates to affiliate marketing search arbitrage and I’ve used it to build one of the fastest growing and most successful internet marketing agencies of all time – Pepperjam, an industry leading full-service internet marketing agency.

Cool interview! So how do you get around the fact that a lot of merchants wont let you bid on trademarks?

Tom – back in the early days there were no rules about bidding on TM’s. Clearly, the tide has changed. Therefore, I recommend you only bid on TM’s that are allowed by the merchant. If you fail to follow the merchant’s TM policy you run the risk of reversal of commissions and potentially getting kicked off the network. There are still plently of merchants that allow TM bidding and in many cases they see affiliates bidding on TM’s as an advantage since there are no laws or hardline rules against competitiors bidding on those same TM’s. If you were a merchant would you prefer having your competitior bid on your TM’s or your affiliates. Unfortunately, many TM owner’s open up the door to competitor bidding when they disallow affiliate TM bidding?
