Trying to make money from online publishing can take a lot of time and effort, and one way many people earn from their websites is by joining affiliate programs. This basically means providing leads for advertisers on your site, and earning commission every time a visitor clicks on these leads and purchases the product/services advertised.

There are many different types of affiliate marketing programs available such as Pay Per Click (PPC) and Pay Per Lead (PPL) but not all the programs out there bring in good money, so it is important to look carefully at each option before you commit to anything for your website.

PPL can earn you much more than PPC programs, as they pay out every time a visitor clicks through the advert and provides lead information on the related product or services. PPC programs often only pay out just a few pennies per click, whereas top product leads on PPL can pay up to $50 each click through (and lead form filled in). In this article we are going to look in more depth at the T3Leads affiliate program which I recently came across.

Functionality
You may not have a great deal of time to spend on setting up and maintaining your affiliate programs, so it is important to select a network that is easy and quick to use. The T3Leads website is bright, modern and straightforward, and there are only a few pages to navigate through so you don’t have to worry about getting lost in the site looking for the information you need. It is easy to sign up, and the contacts page has plenty of numbers and email information to connect you to a T3lead representative whenever you need one. There is also a very good FAQ page that presents clear and concise help with common set up and technical queries, which is very helpful for first timers. The member’s area is a little untidy and could do with a bit more work, but the payment screens are straightforward and you should have no trouble setting up and maintaining you programs.

T3leads does not resell generated leads. Their payday loans affiliate program directly cooperates with a large network of banks and other financial institutions. T3leads sell generated leads through a unique auction system that allows their affiliates to make maximum profits. They pay for each customer sent to us when they respond to your offers for qualified products and services.

Offers
T3Lead operates a little differently to some of the other affiliate sites in that instead of giving you the adverts to use on your website, it gives you a whole website and lets you market it as your own with the banners and adverts already in place. This is not really suitable for people who are already running a few websites, and don’t want to take on anymore, but can be good for novices as the websites come already set up with keywords in place. Websites are on a range of subjects such as loans and debt solutions and there is also the option to customise your own websites.

T3leads is currently accepting traffic/leads from US and UK only. The high quality of T3lead promo tools ensures high conversion rates in their affiliate network. At T3leads, they guarantee the highest conversion rates in the industry – ranging from 1:6 to 1:9., and high product leads can earn you as much as $45-$46 for every click through that fills out the lead form. Most other lead products pay up to $20 and if you run these websites well you can make some good money through PPL.

Also, they provide their affiliates with an arsenal of promo tools that are constantly being refreshed by T3leads’ creative team for maximum performance. You can work with both public web sites, and private web sites own by you.

Their new lead tracking/reporting system (version2) will be live by the end of the year, when they will be able to make changes fast, without loosing traffic OR a lot of traffic.

Payment
The payout is on Net15 basis and minimum payout is $100. They have various payment options like Check, Wire transfer, Paypal, Webmoney, Fethard etc. The affiliates can order free ePassporte cards for greater convenience. Major partners can get a VIP ePassporte card free of charge, with a total maximum transaction limit of 10K per day.

Support
Support and customer services is vital in affiliate schemes, so that you can get help quickly and avoid too much downtime. T3Lead has a good support base and you can contact reps either by phone or email, but unlike some of the other affiliate programs you do not get your own personal rep, which can be a bit frustrating as you speak to someone different each time (although they are always courteous and helpful in my experience). As already mentioned the FAQs are clear and informative, and on average the support is adequate for this sized marketing business.
Friendly affiliate support is always available, and ready with answers to any question. The support team can also help with technical problems. You can find answers to commonly asked questions on their forum:
