Welcome to the Hunger Games of Affiliate Marketing [F5] (31)
Welcome to the Hunger Games of Affiliate Marketing [F5]
Some of you may have already heard about F5, it's a private network we've been setting up over the last 6 months that includes some of the slickest operators in the industry. When we say private we mean PRIVATE.
To kick things off we are hosting an interesting mastermind. We want to compile 3 teams of 5 affiliates based on their locations. There will be Team Americas (lead by Stackman), Team Europe (lead by Bbrock), Team Asia/South Pacific (lead by Mr Green).
Here is how it will go down:
Starting Thursday, May 17th, Team leaders will create Skype mastermind groups for their respective teams. Members will be on Skype 24/7 over a very intense 2 week period. We'll be learning from each other, and testing campaigns relentlessly! The goal is to form a tight group of affiliates who can grow from one another in a short amount of time. The bonus would be to make a ridiculous amount of money.
There won't ever be an experience as organized as this again. Connecting top affiliates together to form 5 person private teams doesn't come around often. We'll be sharing our deepest secrets, connections and know how with our teams to make them the most successful. Affiliates will run campaigns themselves, but the idea is still to share knowledge amongst each other to help with each others campaigns.
Want to join?
Please note that affiliates must have at least 6 months of experience under their belts. We need to make sure all affiliates are at a similar level to make this work.
All interested in participating on a team, please post the following information about themselves (please keep extremely short)
- Location (Americas, Europe, or Asia/Oceania)
- Time spent in affiliates marketing
- Estimate of campaigns made to date
- 1 special fact about yourself related to work.. could be something you've done, a talent, something you excel in etc..
Notes:
- You'll need a good size testing budget
- Be available often over the next 2 weeks
3/15 spots are already taken.
I hope you guys know we're not ones to glout about $ we make.. but for the sake of this thread, and so you guys can see the potential of this oppurtunity we've made just over 3 Million in revenue so far in 2012.
May the odds ever be in your favor.
