At the request of some, I am offering a site review service for merchants who either have an affiliate program or do not have one and are surveying the landscape in starting a program.
My review consists of a thorough 25-point evaluation on the web site, all of your policies, potential problems affiliates might have as well as a complete transaction (up to $25, including shipping) and a full analysis of the customer side of your site as far as the site itself, your post-transaction email communications and the fulfillment experience.
Many of my consulting clients are having me do this work twice a year or so. If you do not have a regular affiliate manager or an outsourced firm managing your program, or even if you do, an outside, unbiased eye on your operation is a good thing to have once in a while.
This service is $595** and the work commences within 2 business days of the order being placed with me (see payment links below) and is completed within a day or two of the time the test purchase arrives. The initial work is done, the order on your site is placed and the process is completed when the order arrives.
My credentials to do such an evaluation are listed below:
- I am a Super Affiliate with over 5 years in Affiliate Marketing
- I am a CJP (Commission Junction Performer). This represents me as in the top affiliates at Commission Junction in volume as well as in ethics.
- Named Affiliate of the Year by Affiliate Summit in January, 2006
- I attend many affiliate-related functions each year and keep a pulse on the affiliate marketing community
- I have been involved in online commerce full-time since 1998. This includes launching a commerce site from the ground up in 1999 as well as several other sites that were launched and later sold.
- Was featured in Revenue Magazine in 2006.
If you have any questions at all, please contact me.
What they’re saying about this service:
“Our company has worked with Scott on multiple consulting engagements and he has over delivered every time. Scott not only provides superior value, but he takes the time to understand your business. Furthermore, his knowledge and expertise in e-commerce and affiliate marketing is unmatched. If you are looking for an honest professional to take your online business to the next level, you should hire Scott Hazard without hesitation.”
- Randy Stocklin - One Click Ventures LLC
“Scott’s review was extremely thorough. It covered everything from site navigation to checkout to order fulfillment. Many of Scott’s suggestions were easy-to-implement tweaks that did not require expensive design or programming costs.
We implemented Scott’s suggestions in Q3 of 2007. We saw a significant increase in our conversion rate after we made the changes. Our 2007 holiday season was our best to date. We can’t thank Scott enough. He is worth every penny and more!”
- Melissa C. Murphy - CrazyForBargains.com
My intention is not to manage your affiliate program or your web site. From time to time a trained outside eye can help your business. In a startup environment this kind of third-party evaluation is a must. I really enjoy analyzing a web site or an affiliate program and finding ways to make them better and more productive. I have done this for a long time now and know what to look for from the affiliate perspective as well as from the consumer perspective.
