Blogging About Exchange or BPOS? Get Paid!

Here is an excerpt from an email we received today: “The migration seemed impossible without your help. I will write a step-by-step migration guide on how to use your services on our blog.“.

We’re grateful for the publicity, but how about getting paid for blogging about us? When ad networks pay pennies per click, our affiliate program offers a 10% commission on each sale. This roughly translates into 1$ per mailbox migration purchased. Keep in mind that virtually no organization purchases a single mailbox migration (most of our orders are in the hundreds).

Here is how it works from your perspective:

1. You sign up for a MigrationWiz account
2. You enroll as a partner and receive an affiliate URL (ex: http://migrationwiz.com/u=myId)
3. You use the affiliate URL to link to our website (use text links, or ask us for images)

Here is how it works when a visitor comes to your blog:

1. The visitor clicks on an affiliate link
2. We set a cookie on the visitor’s browser
3. The visitor makes a purchase and you become the default referral

Note that we use permanent cookies and also store your affiliate ID when a visitor signs up for a MigrationWiz account. This means that you should be listed as the default referral even if a purchase is made several weeks later.

If you blog about us, we’re grateful. But what better way to say “thank you” than by sending you a check?
