Affiliate Marketing Challenge 8

Note: The results of the Affiliate Marketing Challenge 7 will be posted on February 3rd.

They’re baaaaaaaaack! MarketLeverage may have took a small break from sponsoring my Affiliate Marketing Challenges in January, but are now back with yet another one.

That’s right! Due to the enormous successes of our first six affiliate marketing challenges, MarketLeverage and I have joined together once again to bring you the Affiliate Marketing Challenge 8!

Now, the structure of the competition has changed for the first time in this competition so be sure to read the rules as there have been a number of modifications. The biggest change that you will need to know is that this challenge is for new referrals only. I personally wanted to allow existing publishers to participate and I apologize to those who have already signed up with me, but MarketLeverage wants to try something new this time around.

The good news is that you’re competing only with yourself. For whatever tier you reach, you are guaranteed that prize. For example, if 3 people each generate $50,000, they will each receive a 55-inch HDTV.

Overview

The competition runs from February 1st (12:00AM Eastern time) to February 28th (11:59PM Eastern time).

However, the earlier you register, the more time you have to start making some dough and the better your chances, so the sooner the better!

The process of the challenge is simple: publishers register to MarketLeverage under my referral link and then proceed to make as much money as they can until competition ends on February 28th.

How to Participate

1. Sign up to MarketLeverage through my referral link by clicking here. It is very important that you register under my referral link or you will not be eligible to participate. If you’ve already registered to MarketLeverage from somewhere else previously then you are unfortunately not eligible to participate.
2. Important: Only new referrals who sign up under me during February are eligible for this competition.
3. Earn as much as you can! There are 8 tiers, each with a different corresponding prize. Reach a tier and you win the prize for that tier. As long as you can generate $2,500 in commissions during the month you are guaranteed a prize.

• In order to be eligible for the competition, publishers must be new referrals who sign up under my MarketLeverage referral link during February. No exceptions.

Good Luck!

To date, MarketLeverage has given away over $10,000 in prizes to scores of participants in my Affiliate Marketing Challenges. Together, these contestants have generated nearly $500,000 with MarketLeverage in just over half a year. Whether you’re new to affiliate marketing or have been raking in thousands for years, why not start win yourself a nice prize while pushing yourself to generate more at the same time?

My goal for this competition is for the total amount of commissions to hit $115,000. The previous record was in November 2008 when the affiliates brought in $110,000. Since this competition has a different structure which includes only accepting new referrals, my other goal is for at least one person to reach the $10K tier. I want to give some of these great prizes away… especially the Rolex or Segway!

I look forward to seeing how this challenge progresses and hope to see a lot of new affiliates participate.
