Exciting News! With the help of a good friend I have located my first co-reg partner. I’m going to integrate their adverts as optional items users can subscribe to after they sign up or register for various publisher properties I am managing.
The way this basically works is after the user submits their information for registration, they can select from 8 or 9 different offers or trials. If they select to proceed with an offer, the data that they used to register is automatically posted to the lead’s application form. Basically users just have to choose an offer, then click submit to verify their application data (name, email address, phone). Once this occurs the application transaction is complete and the lead is credited to my earnings.
Hopefully our first co-reg offers will go live early next week. Right now we have 7 or 8 various offers we can include so hopefully everything is set for now.
First off, what is Co-Reg?
Co-Registration refers to arrangements between companies to collect user information. Usually this would be a separate check-box on a Web signup form where the user can opt-in to receive messages from a third-party. For example, a magazine running a contest may include a checkbox for registrants to accept e-mail future announcements from them, and also from the prize sponsor of the contest. Co-registration usually adds the subscriber, provided they check the boxes to give permission, to two or more opt-in mailing lists.
Co-Registration services are an established, proven list building tool, It’s a fast, easy, and Free “secret weapon” used by all famous Internet marketers to rapidly grow their large opt-in (permission based) email lists.
Back in May an affiliate representative from an un-named ad agency approached me with some details about some upcoming co-registration campaigns they were considering for some of their advertising clients. I was pretty interested (to say the least) after a few conversations, and decided this was definitely the right angle for me to use with a couple of our under-performing publishing properties. To make a long story short, I never got the creatives for the co-regs.
I’ve been churning a lot of ideas for the past 6 months on co-regs and am finally putting some plans into action. The first leg of this journey will be to acquire scripts that will allow me to integrate and track the co-registration campaigns on various signup pages. I have set a goal to have a system in operation by the first of December. I will update everyone on which software I consider and utlimately decide on. Be sure to contact me if you have any suggestions.
