Christchurch, New Zealand - A Christchurch based
company, Affilorama, is placing itself ahead of the game by developing a unique
service for affiliate marketers worldwide.
Three years after its inception, founder Mark Ling continues
to expand the online Affilorama portal. Emerging from this is an increasingly
comprehensive service catering to the needs of affiliate marketers, from
beginner to advanced level. Already Affilorama's content far surpasses what is
available elsewhere in the world - even in the USA, the ‘home' of affiliate
marketing.
Affilorama was launched in 2006 by Ling, a
super-affiliate who is Christchurch born and bred. While studying at the
University of Canterbury in 1999, Ling stumbled across the practice of
affiliate marketing as a way to free himself from his part-time student job. He
soon began making millions from his unforeseen mastery of the industry.
Realising affiliate marketing was an uncultivated
field, Ling set up Affilorama.com as an educational and resource centre for
others wishing to follow in his footsteps. "Through years of experience, I have
developed a formula that undoubtedly works - it only made sense that I should
share this with others. By simply following a set of instructions, Affilorama
offers an opportunity for success to every Joe Bloggs".
With an increasing number of people gravitating to the
internet as a money-making tool, membership of Affilorama has grown
exponentially, having just surpassed 50 000 members. Of these, a large number
are from the United States - where affiliate marketing is more widely known.
At less than 5%, New Zealand members of Affilorama make
up only a fraction of the total. Ironically, Ling believes this is due to an
underdeveloped internet marketing climate here. "Kiwis are yet to be fully exposed
to the wonders of internet marketing, but hopefully as companies such as
Affilorama grow it will be brought into the limelight - and New Zealanders will
not look back", says Ling.
Ling's contribution to Affilorama is very hands-on,
and he develops a trusting bond with his students by regularly hosting live
webinars, and ensuring that any support needed by his students is easily
received. This contributes to an important function of Affilorama as a
community for affiliate marketers. Also providing lively forums and blogs, the
community fostered by Affilorama is a mainstay of the site.
Membership to Affilorama is free, and gives access to
a host of step-by-step video lessons along with other tools to get students
started in their affiliate marketing business. "It is paramount we offer this
service free, as it gives people the opportunity to discover just how lucrative
and easy the affiliate marketing industry can be," says Ling. Member success
stories are plentiful, with many disclosing how they were able to give up their
day job for what they unanimously describe as a better life.
Given the vast amount of information offered for free,
people often ask Ling how the Affilorama site earns revenue. The answer is through
their subscription-based ‘Premium' service that provides affiliate marketers with
continued advanced education and support for their business.
The premium service offers its members' custom-designed
software tools developed by the Christchurch-based team, along with a monthly
magazine and the recently added web-hosting service. The accessibility of the
vast range of affiliate marketing resources at Affilorama makes it a unique
service. Ling believes that one day soon it will be the first to provide a
‘one-stop shop', serving worldwide from Christchurch.
