We’ve got a lot of very exciting things getting ready to happen around the LinkyLoveArmy.

For those of you patiently (and impatiently) waiting for some action, I wanted to share a quick example of something that will help you convert more when ever you cover our B2C missions.

If you visit

You will see a flash video example of the Inbox Dollar program.

The important thing about this video, is how it shows the reader visitor what to expect and how to fill out the form when they sign up for Inbox dollars.

We never want to surprise our readers.  As bloggers, we are essentially a guide for our readers, cutting through the internet to help them find a path to what ever it is they are looking for.  We always want to help show them how to get somewhere and help them avoid any surprises along the way.

This video does a pretty good job of showing readers how to sign up for this program and what to expect.  As you write articles that show readers a great service or tool, you might consider when it is appropriate to help guide your readers through any red tape or surprises.  This will help your readers and increase the potential that they will follow through.

If you have not received an offer in the bloggers section to cover the Inbox Dollars program, send me an email and I’ll add you to the list.

In the meantime, stay posted, some great new things are coming soon.

We have kicked off our first hybrid missions!   (We have also kicked off several batches of Direct Pay Promotional Missions - so check your account)

To be more precise, we’ve kicked off our first 100 hybrid missions.  In the past we have offered B2C missions.  Bloggers could log in to the B2C section grab the tracking code or banners with tracking code, publish the article and earn a commission for each reader that signed up or followed through on the particular item that was being advertised.

Those missions also had a group earning rate.  For each conversion by any blogger an identified amount would be contributed to a pool for a later split amongst all blogger participants.

We have had some success with these missions especially with the Pictures.com and Transformers missions.  The Pictures.com missions paid bloggers every time a reader signed up for a free photo contest by submitting a picture via upload.

The Hybrid Alternative

With the hybrid missions we are removing the group payment rate on the back end and replacing it with a direct payment to bloggers up front within seven days of completing their article.

The direct up front payment rate will vary from one mission to the next and will typically be proportionate to a multiple of the group earnings rate.

LinkyLove Mixed In

With the hybrid model we are also going to include a linkylove component.  Many bloggers have told us over the last few months that the linkylove aspect of the LinkyLoveArmy is the most important factor.  We’ve received many requests to boost the LinkyLove factor in our missions.  As we kick off the hybrid model, we are working with a new campaign covering Inbox Dollars(Offer ID 787 in B2C section), a site that pays people to read emails, surveys and play games. 

The LinkyLoveArmy is paying bloggers to right a short short article about Inbox Dollars and include the tracking link or banners (with the tracking link for the campaign) and also link to any additional articles identified.

We will take the articles submitted by LLA members and utilize those as targeted links in the next round of this campaign so get your entry in early to start earning links!

Payment on the Inbox Dollars Campaign

The Inbox Dollars missions will pay $2 up front (this is a very short article) and $1 in commissions for every person that signs up under your individual banners with tracking links from the B2C section.

Complete Your Article and Get Paid

All you have to do is log in to our new bloggers section, and follow the view mission details instruction for your InBox Dollars mission.  Once you submit your permalink and it is verified, we will pay you $2 within 7 days.  The commissions will be paid separately once your account reaches a $50 minimum for all missions(we’re working to lower that minimum).

This is just the first mission of this type.  We will have many more and the payment rates will sometimes be more, much more and will sometimes be less depending on the nature of the product or service.

Correction

We have separately rolled out the next round of the Zwinky campaign.  This is a normal B2C missions, but the early additional permalinks provided over the next 7-10 days will be targeted in the next round of linkylove.

Rules

Just a reminder.  No one should sign up for any B2C services using their own affiliate tracking link.  Your commissions could be voided if you sign up under your own tracking link provided after you login.

Also, many B2C missions will not display the same page to bloggers whose IP addresses are located in countries outside of the advertisers requirements.  You can still participate in the mission, and attempt to attract your readers to the offers where those readers do reside within the targeted areas.
