We would like to welcome our current affiliates and anyone interested in more information about becoming an affiliate to our new blog. This is the first post in a section specifically created to assist our affiliates in increasing their sales. While many join affiliate programs, only a small percentage really understand how to effectively promote them to create a consistent income. We would like to share what we have learned over the years and introduce you to some exceptional tools to make getting results faster and easier.
We offer two affiliate programs and two exceptional ways to use our product feed:
- In-house Executive Gift Shoppe Affiliate program paying 20% for those who add links manually
- ShareASale Affiliate program paying 12% for easier links and access to our product feed
- Our Datafeedr feed is the easiest way to add any product to a WordPress site – Starting at $27/mo
- Executive Gift Shoppe PopShops Feed – PopShops offers an easy way to quickly create affiliate stores in any type of Web site – free for first four sites
In many ways, being successful in affiliate sales is a numbers game. The more products you offer the more likely you are to make consistent sales. Feeds are the best solution and these two tools make it feasible for just about anyone to benefit from having a large selection of products that you personally select especially for your niche audience.
We will be sharing proven strategies, tips and how-tos and explaining how Datafeedr and PopShops work in future posts so you may wish to subscribe to our RSS feed or subscribe to our email updates so you won’t miss anything. We also invite you to follow us at Twitter for quick tips or to ask questions any time. In a hurry now? These three links can be found at the top right corner of every page here for easy access.

Welcome umbildee,
The first thing we need to do is get in touch via email and at Twitter. Click on the contact tab and send us an email so we can email you back. Or send us a message at Twitter.

Anyone else interested is invited to do the same. Thank you, umbildee, for asking.

ExecGifts’s last blog post..Free Engraving and 15% Off Zippo Lighters
Hey, this sound interesting. 20% is really very good payout. I guess I’ll follow the instructions in the 2nd comment. See you on twitter soon:)

Hi Jean,
I would love to have you join our affiliate programs and work with you to send your sites more visitors. I’ll find you at Twitter too and follow you from @ExecGifts and <a href="http://Twitter.com/GrowMap/"<@GrowMap too.
20% is a really great payout. 12% from share a sale isn’t that bad either.
This feeds stuff really cuts down on the amount of work you have to do since it automates everything.

Hi Charles,
Yes it does and that is why we’re focusing on getting our entire feed into all the tools we can find – to make it easier for our affiliates to maximize their incomes. We’ll even send you traffic and show you how to grow your business online. See the comment above to follow me at Twitter.
Each time you RT something I share or send me an @ message I’ll be reminded to RT for you and share your latest blog posts or best web pages across other Social Networking sites.
I am a budding affiliate marketer, would study your proposal and see if it will fit my upcoming sites. Thanks for opening opportunities on this, the two tools are extremely useful.

Hello Jenny,
Since we offer so many different products and many are of general interest I’m sure you can find some that will fit your sites. If you would like a spreadsheet of the best selling products of any particular type or top selling products in general just let us know. We’ve recently pulled the data and are actively sending out lists now.
I have been one of your twitter follower. I hope to earn a passive income as well aside from adsense, now on affiliate mktg.
Twitter: @ExecGifts
Hi Jenny,
While you can generate passive income it doesn’t keep generating forever. All businesses – even those that rely on income that keeps coming in when you are not actively doing it – require continual (but not continuous) work. The idea of perpetual income is misleading at best.
Making money requires someone to keep working on promotion. Even a best-selling author must promote – or use some of their income to pay someone else to promote – their work.
I have been trying adsense from past some time but not able to make much. hope this way i can make some
Twitter: @ExecGifts
Hello Video,
Making money from AdSense and affiliate programs has some similarities but you have more control when promoting affiliate products. Both require producing quality content and having a site worth visiting over and over.
Thanks for the affiliate information. I will follow you. I agree with the sales process being a numbers game.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for reading the blog post Success is a Numbers Game. It turned out to be quite popular. I wrote it because most do not recognize how much traffic it takes to generate each sale. It is important not to be counting our chickens before they are hatched – or even before they are laid!
You have some really beautiful tradeshow displays. Eventually I need to get around to writing about offline forms of promotion in addition to those online. The more methods a business uses the more success they will achieve.
Affiliate can indeed earn you huge bucks but you need to work hard for it. It’s great and it has a lot of benefits provided that you researched well.

Hello Jannice,
We are constantly researching what works best and writing up the processes. Just this week we were able to connect with two excellent bloggers who cover affiliate marketing and have vast experience. They have agreed to answer questions and share their knowledge with us and we will then share it with you.
Ive been on the affiliate marketing scene for a few years now and came to this page after a friend of mine recommended I check it out. Sounds very interesting – will definitely do some more thinking about this one.
Twitter: @ExecGifts
Welcome Aidan,
We hope you won’t just think about us. We will actively assist any affiliate interested in promoting our products with everything from reviewing their site, recommending tools and sending them traffic to pulling and sending them customized spreadsheets of the top selling products specific to their interests.
Just contact us any time for personal assistance. If you need an answer and don’t have time to research it we will get it for you and share it with others too.
I agree with Jannice, Online Affiliate Marketing is not for everyone…you need a very good understanding of SEO and PPC…plus e-commerce. Thanks for the post.
Twitter: @ExecGifts
Welcome Ted,
I totally agree and we are more than willing to assist affiliates to increase their skills in all areas and also to drive them traffic they can’t obtain for themselves. You haven’t found an ordinary affiliate program because Executive Gift Shoppe is wise enough to know how complicated affiliate marketing is and that is why I am here. Perhaps I should elaborate.
Both this blog and the affiliate program are managed directly by me, the same Internet Strategist who writes the GrowMap Internet Marketing blog which has been recognized by both Alltop and AdAge Power150 Daily Ranking of Internet Marketing Blogs.
Unlike most Internet Marketing blogs, GrowMap provides proven step-by-step processes for growing any business based on an extensive background that includes years of specializing in pay per click advertising management for ecommerce businesses, over a decade of creating sites online, and over three decades in the computer industry.
Here is a sampling to give you some idea of the depth of the experience behind the advice:
How to Use Social Networking – Get Power Users to Promote You TODAY
How NOT to Lose Your Shirt on Google AdWords
Almost Instantly Get FREE Business Listings in Major Directories
How to Master Google Analytics
Whatever YOU most want to know next is probably already on the GrowMap blog. Even more important: You can get real answers and personalized assistance absolutely free from someone who has multiplied the income of several small businesses many times over.
What do you have to lose? There is never a better time than NOW to take action! “
Yeah, Affiliates surely need to work very hard then only you can reach to the point where today Top Earners are, btw is your program is free to join? I mean like ClickBank, which is free and you can promote their products. We also have to promote your products on our sites by adding the manual link as well, and earn upto 20% commission?
Am I right?
Twitter: @ExecGifts
Welcome Audrey,
Yes our program is completely free to join and we will provide personalized assistance to those who ask. If you want to use our feed the tracking is automatic, pays 12% and is paid through ShareASale. If you want to create manual tracking links that are tracked through our Yahoo! Store those pay 20%. You can use both.

Twitter: @ExecGifts
Hello,
You simply click on the link to the affiliate programs and follow the instructions you find there. I recommend you subscribe to the GrowMap blog because they will be publishing a comprehensive post on how to make money with affiliate programs tomorrow.
I think a key thing is choosing good quality products to promote.
A lot of products on the smaller affiliate networks you wouldn’t buy yourself or recommend to friends, ever.
i have found fathers day the hardest holiday to market as far as niche marketing goes as there is not to much varieatey.
