We are exited to announce the Coffee News Affiliate Program. This program is run using one of the web’s most popular affiliate management software called JAM by JROX. Affiliates are paid $500 (R5000 South Africa) for each successful sale of a South African Coffee News license.

Yesterday a lady said to me, “Coffee News is a novel idea.” And she continues, “I am interested in Coffee News but it is too soon in my life right now – I will save the email and keep looking at the website and who knows?”
This young lady has a baby and that’s why I believe she said, “it’s not the right time”.
But why not………
- become an independent Coffee News promoter?
- use your social network promote Coffee News?
- at parties, tell people about Coffee news?
- email a few friends with well crafted letters?
- start a free blog and write about Coffee News?
- tell your Facebook friends about Coffee News?
- Why not use some guerrilla marketing techniques to promote Coffee News?
The idea is that you don’t have to run a Coffee News edition. Well, running one will be great, but in the meantime you can make R10 000 with every successful referral.
Let me give you some marketing tips for promoters:
When I started internet marketing my trainer said to me that every web page needs to be written with one and only one objective in mind. He also said that to have a successful website business you need one to focus on one objective.
He called this objective, “Your Most Wanted Response”
Let’s say you decided to become a Coffee News promoter, then your most wanted response, with everything you do, is to get the contact details of a potential person and pass these on to Coffee News HQ.
Let’s look at an example here. If you go towards the end of the page you’ll find a pro-forma email you can use to promote Coffee News. When you read that you’ll notice the pro-forma goes nowhere but, “If you need more info call me”.
Therefore when you promote Coffee News you give pre-sales info away. Meaning that you don’t have to do the selling part. You tell and show. You give enough info away to tease and interest the reader. But you don’t say, “Go and visit Coffee News” for more info never.
You rather say, “Send me an email or phone me today for more info”. Both these actions will give you the contact details.
Being a Coffee News promoter will cost you nothing. You don’t have to take a risk to make R10000. You only invest time.
We have decided not to spend money advertising Coffee News. We are looking for people like you.
Have Fun
