Howdy Folks,
I wanted to let bloggers who write about retirement planning, wealth management, investing, 401k, and budgeting that Personal Capital is expanding their affiliate program. I'm an affiliate, and I'm also a consultant who sits right next to the affiliate manager, Michael every Monday and Wednesday here in San Francisco. We just had some sushi lunch and we discussed how we should be more aggressive in bringing on relevant affiliates.
Personal Capital is one of my best affiliate programs I'm a part of, and I believe in their company so much that I decided to consult with them part-time early in 2014. It's been a blast so far. For those who don't know, Personal Capital is a digital wealth manager who has a free financial dashboard to help people manager their money, and human financial advisors for those who want to get professional money management help. It's seriously one of the best free financial apps on the market. Their financial tools help cut investment portfolio fees, manage your cash flow, and track your net worth.
New affiliates earn a very healthy $100 per sign-up who aggregates $100,000 worth of investable assets onto the Personal Capital dashboard e.g. IRA, Roth IRA, CDs, savings, rollover 401k, even a standard 401k, which can't be managed. If you are an existing affiliate on another platform like FlexOffers, be aware there is a chance that PC will be moving away from FO and the likes given the costs and the lack of visibility PC has with FO's sub-affiliates (you).
If you sign up directly with PC via HasOffers, you will not only get a higher payout than what you would be getting at FlexOffers and other places, but you'll have much better insights into the clicks, click through rates, posts that are converting, and access to Michael. It's much better to develop a relationship straight with the source who is paying, rather than through a sub-affiliate.
The Personal Capital affiliate program is one of the main reasons why I decided to take a leap of faith to work online in 2012. The revenue generation is incredible given the synergies the product has with my content. Personal Capital is also one of the reasons why I felt comfortablebuying another house in SF in 2014 if you are following FS, despite the cost.
If you are interested, you can SIGN UP HERE. Michael and I just tested the link and made sure everything works and comes through. Once you sign up, Michael will reach out with you for a brief intro. The platform is very intuitive.
Remember, making successful affiliate income takes effort and highlighting the right products that are congruent with your content. If you can find a great product like Personal Capital, it practically sells itself. I really recommend bloggers move away from direct advertising, which not only has a potential to hurt your site, but is definitely not scaleable or passive.
Regards,
Sam
