Why are you hanging up on him?' I'm like are you serious?! ‘Yeah!' So, we're playing in Albuquerque at this NFL golf tournament. I kinda look like Jason Elam, the kicker, and we think we can probably pull this off.”“So, we get caught cheating, and it's horrible because we're leading the first tournament.

This week we talk with Jamie Birch of JebCommerce about Affiliate Marketing. If all you know about Affiliate Marketing is its bad reputation, it's time to look again. Early versions of Affiliate marketing were a playground for fraud, but modern Affiliate Marketing technologies have eliminated these issues and turned Affiliate Marketing into a full commission lead and sales generation machine. Jamie's extensive Internet marketing experience includes all facets of online marketing: email, paid search campaigns, customer retention programs, and much more. This wide range of disciplines has enabled Jamie to excel as a business leader and JEBCommerce to realize a great level of success for its clients.
JEB Commerce helps retailers in the beauty, skincare, travel outdoor and gear and fitness categories generate 10 million dollars within 3 years through their affiliate channel. They use affiliate marketing to augment their customer acquisition model beyond their traditional retail sales. They help them generate revenue they wouldn’t have gotten any other way which is different than what some other types of affiliates offer. They developed a bench-marking tool on their site that demonstrates this for any retailer who wants to learn how much they can potentially earn with affiliate marketing strategies. Case Study: Menswear Company – we instituted a program to save them 100K in commissions in a year buy using technology to track sales that weren’t truly affiliate-qualified. It was pure profit plus they saw an increase in sales. Key insights: You have to know what to spend your time on, and what to avoid. You can’t chase every single lead that shows up. There is an opportunity cost, so every client that’s not right for you takes you away from bringing in the ideal client. Part of the success in scaling the company is in the efficiency of staying focused and aligned. That’s also how he has continued to get great results for clients.
