If you need to be budgeting then you are potentially familiar with the majority of the traditional systems: finding coupons, comparison shopping, buying in bulk, etc. Those solutions are swell but they are only sometimes the most practical or even the best way to save lettuce. Any practiced shopper knows that for most effective results you must use EVERY tool available to you. That is why I would like to inform you about a new solution most of you have probably never heard of.
In the recent years the growth of the internet has really changed the marketing industry. One immense change has been the popularity of “affiliate programs” which for those who are unfamiliar is simply a payment given to the affiliate marketer when she is sends a sale or referral. These programs are everywhere now, chances are the most well known is the Amazon Affiliate Program but even small online shops have these setup now.
Now some of you are already putting two and two together and might be interested what will happen if you joined as an affiliate and ordered something from yourself… As you might guess the incentive in this case is essentially a discount on the good. But, the problem is that in most cases this would not be practical because the amount of work that goes into joining one of these things will generally not be worth it if you just plan on getting ONE thing. Furthermore, some affiliate programs support buying from yourself while others frown on it… and may even ban you from their program.
I would not recommend going around and joining each individual affiliate program for every seller that you typically shop at. However, I would not be telling you this if I did not have something definitely intriguing to share with you all.
Here is where the Blastoff Mall comes in. Blastoff Network is a new site that launched in October that is perfect for saving money shopping online. You join for FREE and then can browse through the Blastoff network mall which contains links to over 300 different online stores (at the time of writing, there are probably even more now) including National Pet Pharmacy , iTunes, Target, Starbucks, and Barnes & Nobles. Each of them labeled with a certain payment % which you are entitled to.
I haven’t looked at each individual merchant but I have checked most of them and can say that basically what Blastoff Communications has succeeded in doing is create a “meta-affiliate” program where they signup to plenty of unique affiliate programs–then you can shop through any of their “partners” and get a percentage of the reward. When you buy something you likely get about 30percent of the payoff paid to Blastoff for your purchase. You don’t have to join the program first which can often take days or more and approval is never a sure thing. They make it so simple and easy–they definitely deserve the 30 percent or so of the reward that they actually keep.
It is a free, easy, accessible way to save money doing the shopping you would potentially do anyways. Plus if you use the hyperlink in the Blastoff Mall it takes you directly to the shop’s official website where you can use any savings coupons you have to save even more.
But hold on? that’s only 60 percent of the incentive, what about the remainder?! I’m getting to that. In a amazing marketing move Blastoff has decided to make an affiliate program of their own. By inviting people to Blastoff you are entitled to a small portion of the payoffs earned when they buy something up to 10 levels deep. This comes from that remaining portion of commission and is divided evenly among the ten people in that person’s invite history. Which ends up being 1/10 of the 30-40percent of reward that is not given to the original buyer and Blastoff Network.
These “mini-payment” by themselves don’t seem like much and for many purchases will be less than a dollar, but that’s funds you would not have had before and even if you only invite a handful of people if they each introduce a couple people, the amount of people in your network that you are entitled to earn rewards from grows fairly quick. I.E. if you introduce three people and they each invite three people by the time you get down to level 10 you have 3^10 people which is 59,049 people who may purchase something and you would get a reward, pretty not bad huh?
I could see this really taking off and people who adopt early will obviously have the most effective change because if your friend does it before you then you wont earn any of the payoff when they buy something.
The thing is that I would suggest this to people even if there were no rewards paid unless you personally purchased something yourself because when it comes down to it is savings, just like using a coupon or buying something on sale. The only difference is that you can use it in addition to both of those methods. What it really comes down to is this: it is free it can save you money… why not do it?
That being said, they do payout payments based on what people who you invite buy… So, instead of going to the main sign up page and let that extra loot to Blastoff Network, sign up using my profile page so I get the credit. I really would appreciate it!!
