The YesAsia’s own in-house Associate Program, one of my top-source of online income, will be terminated. The program is not really terminated. It’s their in-house program only because YesAsia now use the third party to manage their associate program. This is what the email from the YesAsia Team has told me:

We have an announcement about the YesAsia Associate Program: we’ve decided to transfer our in-house program to a third-party affiliate network, in hopes of offering a more professional platform, up-to-date promotions and more frequent payments than in the past.

Our plan is to phase out our in-house associate program by the end of 2007, and we will pay all commissions for sales generated up till December 31st, 2007. However, we will stop updating our associate banners by the end of November.

Currently, our commission rate will stay the same, but working with an affiliate network comes with many benefits, including:

- Access to a product catalogue feed with over 50,000 products
- More banner formats
- More frequent promotion updates
- 30-day cookie tracking, so sales will count for up to 30 days after a customer visits your site.
- Enhanced tracking on some networks, e.g. even if a customer deletes their cookies, Webgains can still track the sale.
- Monthly or weekly payment in USD by either cheque, bank transfer or PayPal
- Cross-tracking with YesStyle.com. You will receive commissions from YesStyle.com if customers purchase after visiting both YesAsia.com and your site.

I am still interested with the YesAsia program. After all, this is my 2nd top online earner. And I am planning to make use the Google Adwords in making more money from YesAsia’s products.

Just recently, I signed-up an account from the WebGains. WebGains is the third party service that manage the associate program of YesAsia. Currently, I am still waiting for their approval on my application.

If you’ve noticed, I gave you some tips on how to earn more with the Korean Movies, just like what I told you on my previous posts: Lovers – Korean TV Series – English Sub DVD and Make Money With Which Stars Are You From – Korean TV Series.

Okay, here’s the reason why I was or am telling you that?

In just 17 days of the month of May 2007, I already sold the YesAsia products listed below:

Anime:

1. Little Women (Ep.1-48) (Completed Series) (End) (Taiwan Version)

Books:

1. ASTA TV International Edition – December 2006
2. ASTA TV International Edition – November 2006
3. ASTA TV International Edition – September 2006
4. ASTA TV International Edition – April 2006

Music:

1. GOD Vol. 7 – Into the Sky – Korean Music
2. SG Wannabe Vol. 4 – The Sentimental Chord – Korean Music

Videos:

1. My Girl – Korean TV Series – English Sub
2. My Lovely Sam Soon – Korean TV Series – English Sub
3. Romance
4. Love Letter Chinese TV Series
5. Secret Lovers

Pending:

1. A Little Princess Sara
2. Heidi
3. Little Women II – Jo’s Boys

And from this, I earn the commission of $77.08 for those approved sells only. Remember that there are still three items pending and I will still be earning from that. Then today is still the 18th day of May and there are still remaining days to do some e-marketing.� Take a look at the screenshot below:

Well. The amount is not too huge but at least its additional income for your blog. So, try it now and who knows you’ll earn much than what I am earning. Register now here.

Finally, the PC Security Shield paid me my commission through the PayPal-powered Xoom. The commission sent to me includes the amount of the check sent to me last January 15, 2007 which failed to reach my mailbox. I’m glad the PC Security Shield management sent it via Xoom even though the payment option that they supported is by Check and Paypal only.

Want To Make Money with PC Security Shield?

To let you know, PC Security Shield pays me $20 per sale. And I am already earning much from this affiliate. So, if you want to earn extra online-income, then take this chance to earn. Register here now and start selling the software and earn as much as $20 per sale.

How can we sell these products?

Okay… You can actually sell them in three different ways:

1. Through your blog or sites. Publish a banner ad or text ads on your site or blogs. You can get it at the Affiliate page of the PC Security shield. But of course you need to register first here to become a member.
2. PC Security Shield affiliate members can actually do the email campaign. You will be provided campaigns at the Affiliate page.
3. You can even sell them offline. Just find some prospects, contact them and let them visit first the page you set-up for the PC Security Shield products. This should be done of course to gain you some commission. If your referred customers go directly to the main page of the PC Security shield then you’ll never earn commission from the sales made.

Again, if you want to earn more, then Register here now.

Sold at eBay, Delivered by Amazon…. Sounds interesting. Sometime, I couldn’t believe that the two competiting sites can actually work like that. But would it happen?

Well, that was because Amazon has offered a new services. It is very much helpful to those companies selling items but want to save money from expenses in storing the items and shipping them to the buyers.

As it was reported, the Amazon offers to the third party sellers the storage and shipping services.

Basically, the third party will ship their goods to Amazon, to be stored in Amazon’s warehouse. At that point, Amazon will take care of storage, packaging, managing deliveries and handling returns.

So, the third party can now focus his full attention in selling at their own website or even in Google Products or at Amazon’s competitor, eBay. If someone buy items, Amazon will be the one to deliver the items to the seller.

Also talked here, here, here, here

I thought at first that Auction Ad is only served by companies in US, UK and Hongkong only. I was not thinking that similar company has exist here in the Philippines. Of course I know that there are auction site here in our country like eBay Philippines. What I was actually talking about is the company who can and will give opportunity to bloggers and webmasters earn money from the auction ads published at their blogs and sites.

Okay, the marketing team of the Auction Ads Philippines emailed me today, inviting me to join and try their service.

… Just recently, we launched an adjacent site called AdAuction that is specifically designed for bloggers like you.

Here is how it works: AdAuction is an innovative new system that allows you to earn money from your blog or website. Simply display our preformatted ads on your page and earn a commission for every successful transaction resulting from the ad on your page. Web Advertising can’t get any easier than this. All you need is a blog or website, an AdAuction account, a little time and patience and you’ll be on your way to earning easy cash! No minimum page view requirements. …

Well, as long as I am invited to try products, I immediately accepted the calls.

In other words, I will really try this out.

First visit this page and click on the marked 1 as shown on the image above, then you’ll be sent to the page as shown below:

Fill up the form with your email, then password and confirm the password. Check the Agree radio and click REGISTER. Of course, you should read first the terms and condition of the program to understand it.

The system will now prompt you to choose what ad should you post on your site (as shown below). For this blog, I will choose the format on the right side because the format on the left is similar to Adsense. It’s better to stay at the safe side to keep my Adsense account from any problems.

Then continue customizing the ads. Make sure that the ads do not violate any of the existing terms and conditions of any of affilate and ad programs you already had participated.

And finally, get the code and paste them to the template of your blog.

Now, check and customize the your account settings especially the info needed for sending out your commission. You will actually receive your commission direct from your bank account, which is a safest way compared to payment by check. Remember that lot of theives are working at our Postal Offices.

Okay, I will answer the checklist that Yuga gave to see if I am a netrepreneur.

1. You own a blog and a domain (not on BlogSpot or WordPress.com). Though free is good, nothing beats a good impression that you are willing to invest in your own virtual/online image.
   • I have my new blog with a domain of my own and it is the one you’re visiting now.
2. Your first online credit card purchase was your own domain and you now have close to half a dozen other domains. You also have a backup credit card, just in case the other one exceeds its limit.
   • I don’t have any credit card. I recently applied but the bank rejected my application. So, I have no purchases yet online.
3. You have at least two of these accounts — Paypal, Xoom, StormPay, Ikobo and eGold.
   • I have Paypal account but it is not yet verified because I don’t have credit card nor bank accounts in US. I also have Xoom account but don’t have Stormpay, Ikobo or eGold.
4. You’re not concerned to publish your complete name, address, phone number and email on your website as you know transparency is everything online.
   • Yes, I am.
5. You consult Google and read forums first before shooting an email to a friend asking for help. Yes, Google is your best friend.
   • Yes, I do.
6. You have more than one blog/websites, and they’re more or less niche blogs/sites. And you don’t go crazy with Blogger (see #1).
   • Yes, I do have many blogs… some are paid accounts but most of them are free acounts from WordPress and Blogger.
7. You know that there is more to online business other than the advertising model.
   • Yes, I do. And I believe that I have 90% chance to succeed here.
8. You have more connections in LinkedIn than in Friendster.
   • Owww…. got no connection with the LinkedIn. Got more connections in Friendster, MySpace and MyBlogLog.
9. You’ve maxed out your Yahoo Messenger’s 300 contact list limit.
   • Hmmm…. not so.
10. You’re not ashamed to tell your first client that your laptop IS your office.
    • I don’t have laptop and I don’t even have Internet Connection.

I don’t know if it is right to consider me as netrepreneur. Problogger? Maybe.

When I logged in to the Amazon Associates hompage, I found this notice from the Amazon:

The Associates program is excited to announce that Associates can now earn referral fees on Unbox Video Downloads!

Amazon Unbox allows you and your site visitors to purchase or rent your favorite movies and TV shows to download and watch on your PC – all in DVD quality. High-quality video downloads are the next big thing and Amazon Associates can be a part of this exciting innovation. If you are interested in trying out Amazon Unbox for yourself, you can download a TV show for free with the purchase of any DVD from Amazon.com.

Associates are eligible to earn 10%, a full 1.5% above the highest earnings tier, on all Unbox referrals (up to $1.50 per item). There is no limit to the number of items on which referral fees are earned.

So, there is a new way of earning at the Amazon Associates now and it offers higher percentage of commission compared to other products.

Why not try this one and be an Amazon Associate too.

As an active associate of the YesAsia, YesAsia sent me tips on earning more from their products.

1. Put the latest promotion in a prominent location on the front page.
2. Provide clear product titles and artist names so customers can reach your site through search engines, e.g. Yahoo! and Google.
3. Upload more product images to induce visitors to click through.
4. Provide clear instructions and links to YesAsia.com. Sharp fonts and colors help.
5. Provide accurate product descriptions to raise interest.
6. Put relevant banners and buttons in eye-catching locations. You can always tailor-make your own banners or buttons.

It’s a good tip and can be applied not only for the YesAsia products but from other similar campaigns like Amazon or even ads by Adsense.

I think, it now time to learn how to speak Chinese and build websites, blogs and other campaign targeting Chinese users.

It was revealed that the number of Chinese users will surpass the number of American internet users by two years:

China is on pace to surpass the United States within two years as the nation with the most Internet users, the government and news reports said Wednesday.

China’s online population grew by 23.4 percent last year to 137 million people, about 10 percent of its 1.3 billion population, the China Internet Network Information Center reported on its Web site.

“We believe it will take two years at most for China to overtake the United States,” the official China Daily newspaper quoted an official of the agency, Wang Enhai, as saying.

I think, I will earn much from the Chinese users as much as I earn from the American internet users.
