Monetize your blog with casual games
I read your post about alternatives to adsense, but I am looking for advertisements that focus on games you can buy online. Where can I find a good affiliate program that offers puzzle type games?
Casual games can be an excellent additional source of income on your blog or website. The standard model is you advertise games from a "casual game portal" on your site, and if one of your visitors decides to buy the game you get a percentage of the purchase. It works very similar to other affiliate programs; however the price of casual games are usually lower (in the $9.99 to $19.99 range) and are popular in several different demographic groups of both men and women.
The best program to generate income in affiliate sales is the Big Fish Game's Principle Network Parners program. Here's why this program is the best..
- Once you refer someone to Big Fish Games, you earn a percentage of every purchase of that individual for as long as you are a member of the program.
- If that person then refers people to Big Fish Games, you earn a percentage of every one of those transactions for as long as you are a member of the program.
- Big Fish Games handles all of the customer retention and promotion. You drive traffic to them and they handle the rest.
- 100% free to join, you never have to pay to be a part of this program.
- Customers can download and play the games for an hour before they have to purchase them, and this model leads to a higher conversion rate.
Here's a realistic example..
- You email a friend of yours about the latest hidden object game, Mystery Chronicles, and he downloads the game.
- At the end of his 1 hour free trial, he purchases the game. You earn a percentage of the sale.
- He now tells some of his friends at work about the game and emails them the link. Two of them play the game and decide to purchase it. You earn a percentage of the sales.
- Two months later your friend buys a few more hidden object games. You earn a percentage of the sales.
- The cycle continues...once you have a customer, you earn money for every purchase made as long as you are a member of the program.
Big Fish Games has also integrated social networking to their site via My Game Space. You pick the games you like (or leave the defaults in place) and write reviews if you choose to do so. Your individual My Game Space has a specific URL and also has your affiliate code embedded in the links. You can promote your games via your Game Space, or pick from banners, buttons, and links to specific games and genres...it's all up to you.
To get full details on the program, and view a full demonstration of the process, visit the Big Fish Principle Network Partners website.

I've heard about the games but from what I understand in order to make decent money you need to have pretty high traffic. That's also true for adsense so it's probably similiar.

Great stuff.
I am just wondering if anyone here has heard of the Linda Christas College online recruiting program.
My sister, Sherry, has made $61,000 since last Feb working entirely online as an independent for them.
They still have online recruiter positions open, but I wanted a second opinion before I recommend it to others.
Luckily, I don't need an online position for myself.
I know Sherry is doing great, but it is always wonderful to get a second opinion before acting.
I also know a graduate of their college programs and he's got a great job.
They don't charge either a training fee, or franchise fee like others do.
So, what do I want for heaven's sake.
Sherry says that all a person has to do is contact the Human Resources folks at the college to get started. They require a person have a good blog like this one, have good command of English, and will actually self start.
In other words, if they are going to assign a teacher to train you, they want to make sure that you are going to do something with it.
Otherwise it's a huge waste of their resources.
