<p>More people than ever before are having to tighten their belts and find ways to save on their expenses so they can lower their cost of living.</p>
<p>Since this is completely foreign to many people, when I found out that Rene @BudgetSavingMom was launching her new frugal living guide today, I asked her to let me share it with my readers.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">Click link for more about Budget Saving Mom&#8217;s new &gt;&gt; <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=188779&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=158952" target="ejejcsingle">Frugal Living eBook</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here is Renee to tell you about her new ebook: <span id="more-12505"></span></p>
<p><object width="520" height="294"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MkgjgsiSzPs?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="520" height="294" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MkgjgsiSzPs?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I recommend reading her book as a way to see that there are very different ways of looking at life. Many may find what her book describes as &#8220;normal&#8221; for her family is very different from what &#8220;normal&#8221; may be for yours.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Priced at a very reasonable $4.99</strong>, Rene has generously offered to give  you a <strong>10% discount</strong>. Just enter <strong>discount code GrowMap10 </strong>when you order.</p></blockquote>
<p>Rene is one of the bloggers in the couponing <a title="Blogging Collaboration Info and Best Practices" href="http://www.growmap.com/blogging-collaborations-best-practices/">blogging collaboration</a> I&#8217;ve been mentoring and writes about living frugally at Budget Saving Mom. You can find a category on her blog for each of these topics she shares her expertise in:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Couponing For Beginners" href="http://budgetsavingmom.com/2009/05/29/beginners-weekly-plan/">How to start  couponing</a></li>
<li>Finding store deals with   coupon match-ups</li>

<li><a title="Meals that are really healthy, but that also taste great and of course save money" href="http://budgetsavingmom.com/budget-recipes/">Budget recipes</a></li>
<li><a title="For those of you that are new to canning, you can find out how to can in this post which includes a tutorial video. Then, go ahead and try some of these canning recipes. I am sure that you will enjoy them!" href="http://budgetsavingmom.com/canning-recipes/">Canning recipes</a></li>
<li>Restaurant deals</li>
</ul>
<p>Although they try to live very frugally, she  also feels that  her family’s health is very important, and they try to  eat healthy  foods. She also makes many of her own toiletry items, such  as soaps and  lotions, and <a title="Our family loves to make our own green and frugal products. We have been trying to eliminate the need for chemicals in our lives, and honestly many times it can be cheaper to make your own products! Here are a few of the products that we use and enjoy!" href="http://budgetsavingmom.com/2011/09/01/homemade-beauty-products-cleaners/">homemade household cleaners</a>.</p>
<p>I ask you to go even further and question every expense you have that exists because of conditioning. Most Americans believe that &#8220;modern&#8221; medicine, insurance, and health care are essentials while I personally do not. Each individual must make those types of decisions for themselves.</p>
<p>As I mentioned in my post about <a title="Very important post on threats to our right to grow, share, buy and eat healthy foods" href="http://www.growmap.com/food-rights/">Food Rights</a>, the healthiest people and animals I have known in my over fifty years are those that choose to eat natural, healthy foods and avoid treatments that relieve symptoms short term but result in long-term poorer health.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><strong>If you have children, be sure to see her tip on page 28 about how she buys new kid&#8217;s clothes for less than GoodWill prices</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Anyone who uses a cell phone should <strong>pay special attention to tip #17 on page 59 in the saving on cell phone costs section. </strong></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Disclosure:</strong> The links to Rene&#8217;s book are affiliate links, but that is NOT why I am recommending her ebook. I have personally read the entire ebook cover to cover and found tips I did not know about that I consider valuable.

Now you can.</p>
<p>Even if you own your own domain and don&#8217;t need a <a title="Example Affiliate Link " href="http://affiliateheat.go2jump.org/SFD">premium email address</a>, you probably know many people who are not bloggers and do not have their own domains. They might want a really short email address or to be able to get just their first or last name on a short domain.</p>
<p>If you want to be famous you could claim your firstname.lastname@yourcountry.com or if you think you&#8217;re REALLY famous you could be the one-and-only Andrew@uk.com or Kristi@us.com or ivin@za.com.</p>
<p>Murray Newlands <a title="Join here to see this and other affiliate programs" href="http://affiliateheat.hasoffers.com/signup">Affiliate Heat Affiliate Network</a> just launched the Emailme Affiliate Marketing program that pays a commission of 20% of each purchase for promoting EmailMe <a title="Get your premium email address here" href="http://affiliateheat.go2jump.org/SFD">premium email</a> addresses. Buyers can get the email  addresses they&#8217;ve always wanted: their name, business name, nickname or  initials &#8211; for as little as $19.99 a year  to $500.00 for in demand names to $5,000-$15,000 per year for Top  Premium Names.</p>
<p>You earn 20% per purchase so if someone registers any names like the examples I mentioned you would earn a commission of $100 to $3000. People buy <a title="Hilarious and clever license plates and what they mean" href="http://www-chaos.umd.edu/misc/">vanity license plates</a> for their cars so who knows &#8211; maybe someone reading our blogs would pay $500 or more for their <a title="Why not see if YOUR name is available? That part is free." href="http://affiliateheat.go2jump.org/SFD">vanity email address</a>.<span id="more-6643"></span></p>

<p>It is very important that we all be aware of bad behavior and only work with Affiliate Networks that run <a title="Read this to understand the issue" href="http://adamriemer.me/501/parasites-that-are-no-longer-parasitic">parasite free affiliate programs</a> that control <a title="Toolbars are a common method for stealing commissions" href="http://blog.shareasale.com/2009/01/28/shareasale-and-toolbars-call-for-participation-on-guidelines/">toolbar  affiliate theft</a>. That is specifically what SAS is known for as you can tell from this excerpt from Compare the Brands <a title="Read about other networks they use and recommend" href="http://www.comparethebrands.com/compare/96">Affiliate Network Reviews</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Shareasale (SAS)</strong> is probably the most trusted and respected affiliate network by experienced affiliate marketers. Although it is relatively small, and has less-known merchants, when compared to Linkshare, this network&#8217;s programs are probably the cleanest in the industry.</p>
<p>If you are worried about affiliate parasites and cookie-theft, or getting paid in-full and on-time, this is the network for you. There are some big name brands, as well as many lesser-known brands. Sometimes it is the smaller brands that pay out the highest commissions and convert the highest anyway.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Whether you have been involved in <a title="Ethical power affiliate I work with the most" href="http://www.affiliatexfiles.com/affiliate-marketing/">affiliate marketing</a> a long time or are just getting started be careful whose advice you follow. I previously wrote about the three <a title="Who and why" href="http://www.growmap.com/ethical-affiliate-marketing/">ethical affiliate marketers</a> I trust.

<p>I suspect many merchants are challenged to find a good <a title="What Adam does" href="http://adamriemer.me/about">Outsourced Program Manager</a> (OPM) because they don&#8217;t know what to call them. I had never heard of an <a title="Industry title for people who manage affiliate accounts for merchants" href="http://adamriemer.me/about">OPM</a> until I met Adam even though I&#8217;ve been researching affiliate management for merchants for years.</p>
<p>Reading Adam&#8217;s post on <a title="What OPSs should do and more important NOT do" href="http://adamriemer.me/172/what-you-should-expect-from-your-affiliate-management-company-or-opm">What You Should Expect From Your OPM</a> is an excellent place to start for merchants interested in possibly starting an affiliate program or hiring a manager. I suspect that there are not many OPMs willing to work that hard but you can use it as a guideline on pitfalls to avoid.</p>
<p>I also recommend his post on Common <a title="What NOT to do" href="http://adamriemer.me/47/common-mistakes-with-hiring-an-in-house-affiliate-manager">Affiliate Management Mistakes</a>. I have been planning to write about Adam since we started working together and am doing so now to share my comments in his latest post <a title="Adam's advice on this issue" href="http://adamriemer.me/404/should-you-pay-affiliates-on-repeat-customers/">Should Merchants Pay Afffiliates For Repeat Sales</a>.<span id="more-3618"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>I encourage merchants, affiliates and OPMs to read that post and then my comments below. I recommend that merchants <strong>DO pay on repeat sales</strong> to the same customer for these reasons:</p></blockquote>
<p>1) The affiliate sent you the buyer in the first place so you most likely would not have closed either sale without them.</p>
<p>2) It is very likely that the affiliate able to generate repeat sales has their own mailing list, subscriber base, and regular readers which are resources they own and created and are using to continually promoting your products and services. That next sale is not based on a one-time click – it is likely to be from repeated work they have done on your behalf.</p>
<p>3) If your repeat sale comes from your newsletter, your cookie is most likely going to overwrite theirs and you will not be paying them for a sale that comes from your newsletter instead of their site.</p>
<blockquote><p>Your affiliates who generate repeat sales do so be reminding their readers about you repeatedly and not from that buyer remembering to come back to you on their own.</p></blockquote>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">ShareASale is the Least Expensive, Cleanest Affiliate Network</p>
</div>
<p>Adam has laid out many examples in this post about <strong>ways your affiliates are sending you buyers</strong>. Their continued promotion of your products will be key to those repeat sales and they deserve to be compensated for the work they do to send you buyers.</p>
<p>Remember that they are only getting paid for sales they generate and not for all the work they do that may not create a sale. They have to invest their time and expertise and have the same risk you have that it may not pay off. If they are buying traffic they may even have MORE at risk than the merchant.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliates and merchants are partners</strong> in what they are working to achieve – not adversaries. Instead of fighting over the existing pie they should be working together to make the pie ever larger!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>LATEST:</strong> Angela, the new affiliate manager for <strong>Bridaluxe has responded</strong> to my tweet and has contacted an affiliate I know that has been waiting to hear back from them. I asked her to respond to all affiliates and especially to immediately reply at ABestWeb. It would be wise for Bridaluxe to seek out all complaints published online and respond to them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When the problems are resolved I will update this post to reflect the current status.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">UPDATE: <strong>Bridaluxe has changed ownership</strong> and is <del><strong>NOT responding to affiliates</strong></del><strong> or paying them</strong>.

<div id="attachment_3251" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 200px">

<p>I recently wrote a comment <strong>strongly recommending</strong> the <strong>Bridaluxe</strong> <a href="http://bridaluxe.com/" target="_blank">Wedding Affiliate Program</a> in reply to this <a title="See the question and other replies in the forum" href="http://www.wahm.com/forum/affiliate-marketing-260/485621-bridaluxe.html">question</a> from JBird85 in the <a title="Work at Home Mothers Forum" href="http://www.wahm.com/">WAHM</a> forum:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was looking for different programs for people in the wedding niche and I came across a network called Bridaluxe.<br />
Has anybody here used them, and is it a good (legit ) program?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Hoping to be helpful, ampris2000, who has an <a title="Offers free and paid games online" href="http://www.the-fun-zone.com/">online gaming</a> fun site, replied &#8220;just type bridaluxe scam in google and see what shows up&#8221;</p>
<p>While it is obvious TO ME that she didn&#8217;t mean to imply Bridaluxe was a scam, I was concerned others might not realize she was offering generic advice not specific to them.</p>
<p>I realized what I wrote in my comment is a perfect description to share with my readers about why I recommend Bridaluxe. Here is the comment:</p>
<p>I <strong>highly recommend</strong> the <strong>Bridaluxe</strong> niche <a href="http://bridaluxe.com/" target="_blank">Wedding Affiliate Program</a> and <strong>assure you</strong> it is <strong>definitely not a scam</strong>. It is one of the very best affiliate networks and for any wedding site it is as good as using Commission Junction and ShareASale (considered one of the cleanest affiliate networks) and <strong>better for wedding related sites</strong>.<span id="more-3250"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>You can <strong>add one line of javascript code</strong> to any site and <strong>instantly </strong>have a <strong>Wedding Store</strong> complete with products from <strong>all </strong>of their <strong>merchants </strong>(without having to apply to a single one!) &#8211; and that store is <strong>automatically updated with daily specials</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>On top of that Bridaluxe stores will <strong>convert better</strong> than manually created sites because they have an algorithm that rearranges the products being offered based on <strong>what is currently selling best</strong>. If something gets media buzz and becomes <strong>hot</strong> your store will automatically have that product in <strong>prime position</strong> for <strong>maximum sales</strong>.</p>
<p>Their stores are far superior to Amazon stores especially in this case. I manage one site that has a Bridaluxe store and am the advisor to another that has an Amazon store. There is no comparison. <strong>If you operate in the wedding niche definitely go with Bridaluxe.</strong></p>
<p>Bridaluxe collects your commissions for you and <strong>pays you directly</strong> the same way Commission Junction and other affiliate networks do. I have never heard a single complaint of them not paying their affiliates on time &#8211; and I recommend them regularly in my own blog.</p>
<p>There are a couple of points I forgot to include in that comment. One is that Bridaluxe has the longest cookie duration of any affiliate program I have ever seen. They use 365 day cookies. That makes sense if you consider that many plan weddings over a very long period of time.</p>
<p>They also have tiered commissions that are very beneficial to the affiliates while less so to the merchants in that affiliates are rewarded with higher commissions for combined sales from all merchants. I encourage affiliate publishers to read more about the <a title="Benefits for affiliates aka publishers" href="http://www.bridaluxe.com/publishers">benefits of joining Bridaluxe</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Both merchants and affiliates should know that Bridaluxe runs a clean affiliate program free of toolbar publishers, parasites, cookie stuffers, coupon scrapers, or any other bad players.</p></blockquote>
<p>Merchants selling wedding related products should consider Bridaluxe because of their innovative stores that automatically feature hot selling products and their willingness to personally train affiliates for you in their use.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Worried about getting <a title="See all Cisco Certifications" href="http://www.braindumps.com/Cisco-certification.htm">Cisco Certified</a> or the difficulty of the <a href="http://www.braindumps.com/640-802.htm">ccna 640-802</a> exam? Get up to date <a href="http://www.braindumps.com/642-524.htm">642-524 dumps</a> and <a href="http://www.braindumps.com/642-533.htm">642-533 dumps</a> to pass your exam with ease.</p>
<p>They can provide instant visibility for merchants on many prominent wedding related sites and dozens if not hundreds of blogs. See details on their merchant <a title="How Bridaluxe benefits merchants aka advertisers" href="http://bridaluxe.com/advertisers">wedding affiliate program</a>.</p>
<p>P.S. If JBird85 had any information in their profile they would be linked in this post (and if they let me know I will still do that for them).</p>
<blockquote><p>Bridaluxe is such a great idea for bloggers that I sincerely hope they will <strong>license their solution to create stores for other niche affiliate programs</strong>.</p></blockquote>

Number of weddings is estimated to grow by 1.2% in 2009 and 5% by 2014. These numbers will vary by market. [I believe they mean geographic area.]</p>

<p>Although the graphs above reveal wedding niche sites with more current traffic, of these wedding sites the one we feel is most promising is OneWed. They have an excellent reputation and are very creative and active in Social Media.</p>
<p>Advertisers will find them very pro-active in following up and collaborating and their knowledge of the wedding industry is exceptional.</p>
<blockquote><p>Did you know that January is the top month for wedding planning because so many get engaged over the holidays?</p></blockquote>
<p>OneWed is the force behind <strong>Matrimony Monday</strong>, Kicking Off the <a title="Press Release about Matrimony Monday" href="http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/onewed/41689/">Prime Wedding Planning Season</a> on the Second Annual <a title="Press Release about Matrimony Monday" href="http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/onewed/41689/">Matrimony Monday</a>. Their Press release includes this quote according to TheWeddingReport.com:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Approximately 35-40 percent (<strong>550,000-650,000</strong>) of <strong>engagements</strong> in the US take place during the winter holiday season between Thanksgiving and Valentine&#8217;s Day*. Thanks to the romantic nature of the holiday season, the majority of proposals take place between Thanksgiving and New Year&#8217;s Eve, making the first Monday back at work the peak time to start searching online for planning ideas and inspiration.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Now is the time to get moving in your wedding related promotions. We will be writing much more about OneWed and why we will be working with them and also about Bridaluxe, an exceptional <a title="Official Bridluxe wedding affiliate program site" href="http://www.bridaluxe.com/">wedding affiliate program</a> that allows any blogger to add a fully stocked <a title="Our wedding store on ExecGiftsBlog" href="http://execgiftsblog.com/wedding-store/">Wedding Store</a> with one line of code.</p>
