Today I got my first cheque through the post for my online earnings! Woohoo!
The cheque was from Pepperjam and is for my July earnings ($37.00 - about £20). I know this isn’t exactly a huge sum but it’s quite exciting to see that figure on screen turn into some real cash.
Just to give anyone reading who’s thinking about joining Pepperjam some motivation, here’s some proof that they do pay…
So there you have it, a real cheque for real money!
If you haven’t joined Pepperjam yet then I would definitely encourage you to do so straight away! They currently offer a $10 bonus just for signing up, and they will pay $7 for anyone you refer to them. As if that wasn’t good enough, they also run their excellent bloggers incentive program, so if you have a blog all you have to do is post about their services and they’ll pay you $10 per post!

I’ve been looking more at the Pepperjam Network, and I think I am going to try out one of their features… PepperjamADS.
“pepperjamADS is an affiliate marketing widget that you can use to serve customized contextual ads from one or multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time. The ad units come in various shapes and sizes. You can mix and mash ads from any of your merchant partners. For instance, you can create a fashion widget by selecting various ads from multiple fashion merchants. Likewise, you can create a specific widget with ads from any one merchant.”
These ads look quite similar to Adsense ads, and apart from the Pepperjam logo in the bottom right corner they could me made to look practically identical (although I think you could get in trouble with Google if you did make them look exactly the same and used both on the same site/page). The big differences between Adsense and PepperjamADS (as far as I can see) are that; a) you choose which ads you want to be shown; and b) they are not pay-per-click, but instead you are paid whatever you would normally be paid for that particular advertiser, ie. on a sale or lead.
Pepperjam have also created this video tutorial to help you get started with PepperjamADS.
I may try a PepperjamADS unit on this blog, and i’m also going to test it out on a site or two I have setup - once I actually get round to finishing them off! I want to concentrate a little bit more on finishing off some affiliate sites and try not to get distracted by constantly tweaking code to do clever things that could wait until another time.
Don’t forget that Pepperjam are offering a $10 Sign On Bonus for All New Pepperjam Network Affiliates.
