Heels.com carries thousands of shoes. Often it’s easy to focus solely on some of the top brands and you miss out on some amazing fashion finds on the site. Instead of focusing on the top brands (Jessica Simpson, Guess, L.A.M.B., etc.) I decided it would be good to pull out some of the brands that many people don’t even know are represented on Heels.com. Check out these three hidden gems and work them into your product spotlight rotations…

Rock & Republic: A brand more commonly known for their denim, Rock & Republic expands their reach in fashion and design to footwear as well. Mixing clean and simple elements into striking designs, these shoes are perfect accents to their high end denim designs and a versatile enough to be worn by rock stars and fashionistas alike.

Heels.com carries only 3 styles of R&R shoes, but they are all worth checking out. Check them out by clicking on the images below.

Poetic Licence: This London based based brand is relatively young (established in 2005), but has already made a huge impact in the fashion footwear world. Their designs are typically fun fashion for the everyday that feature unique details and fun patterns. Their styles range from flats to chunk heels and demi-wedges, so don’t expect too many spikes or stilettos from this brand.

There is a good selection of Poetic Licence footwear at Heels.com and I have choose to feature the Dee, the Brigitte, and the Fluff below.

N.Y.L.A Shoes: Names for two cities that know about fashion, their designs are as diverse as the residents of these metro areas. Everything from gladiators to cowboy boots can be found in this line up. These shoes tend to feature hardware details (zippers, tacks, studs, etc.) and amazing textures (animal prints, patent leather and more). If you’re looking for unique styling, this is an awesome place to start. I’ve featured a few styles below, but head over to Heels.com to check out the full collection.

If you’re a Heels.com affiliate looking for some new brands or styles to feature, start with these brands! From there, explore the site and see what other great finds you may have overlooked. There are tons of shoes, so go beyond just the standard offerings that everyone is talking about!

If you’re not a Heels.com affiliate, you should be! Get more info today on how you can make money promoting the shoes you love and the best place on the web to get them: Heels.com!

iContact doesn’t just want to be another corporate entity out to make money and expand their reach. They want to be successful while remaining socially responsible. To do this, they have implemented their new “4-1s Campaign.” This is a plan for them to give back to the communities in which they work. Here’s a break down of what the 4 1s are…

• 1% of Payroll – in 2009, iContact contributed more that $100,000 to 63 non-profit organizations.
• 1% of Product – iContact is available pro bono to any North Carolina non-profit
• 1% of Time – Starting in 2010, 2.5 paid days per year per employee will be provided for community service
• 1% of Equity – This has been committed to the establishment of the iContact Foundation, forming in 2010

So, as an iContact affiliate, you are promoting more than just another email marketing product. You’re promoting social responsibility and a company that gives back. If you’re not an affiliate, you’re not a part of giving back. Become one today and get involved!

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on what they can be promoting, so get out there and get these offers out to your site visitors! If you’re not an affiliate, you can’t promote, so head to the Heels.com affiliate info page to get started.

There are a whole lot of Heels.com affiliates out there that are shoe lovers. It only makes sense right? Some love shoes so much that they have created whole websites and blogs dedicated to shoes and those who design and wear them. Those are the affiliates that I want to talk to.

While most have no problem coming up with content for there site (there are hundreds of new shoes released daily), sometimes you want something just a little more than just copy and pictures. Well, when you promote the shoes on Heels.com, we’ve got what you need. There’s an entire online video channel dedicated to celebrating heels and the women who wear them: Heels.TV

You can embed any of the videos on Heels.TV directly into your blog posts or web pages. This includes designer spotlights for L.A.M.B., J Lo, Report and more. Your host, Suleika, brings the most up-to-date info about the latest styles and fashions in women’s footwear, and you can add her expertise to your site adding more credibility and more incentive for your site visitors to click through to Heels.com and buy those heels you’ve recommended.

Go check it out and take advantage of this rich media tool to drive more sales and earn even greater commissions!

We have many affiliates promoting iContact and we are always looking for more. However, sometimes it’s hard for affiliates to choose which email marketing service to promote and to give information to their customers on why they should use the particular one that they are recommending. If you fall into any of these categories, I think I have the solution for you. Don’t listen to why I say that iContact is the best option for you to promote and why it’s the best for your customers. Listen to those who are already using it.

iContact has several testimonials posted around their site. So head over to iContact.com and click around some. Read what their customers already say and what they like about it. Here’s just an example from EA Sports Fantasy Football…

Need more? iContact recently added new video testimonials to their homepage from such companies as Peach Running Company and West Race Cars. Click the image below to head over to iContact and see what they have to say about their experience.

As I said, sometimes it can take more than what I tell affiliates to get them to start promoting. It can even take more than the 700% commission that iContact offers on affiliate referred sales. So, go to their website. Do some reading. If that’s not enough, sign up for a Free Trial or send me your questions. Then, once you’re satisfied that iContact is the best option in email marketing to promote, go sign up.

Yes mgecom manages the affiliate program for DrinkDreamWater.com, so I’m sure there will be many that read this and say that I’m only pointing out the positive because that’s what I’m supposed to do so affiliates will promote it and sell thousands of cases. To an extent you would be right…I am supposed to make affiliates want to promote the product, but at the same time I could do that in other ways than writing up my personal experience with the product. Plus, if you think I’m blowing smoke, go get your own free sample and decide for yourself.

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let me give you some back story. I just found out about Dream Water maybe 3 weeks ago. I had never heard of it until it came through our biz dev channel here at mgecom and I was a skeptic. This is kind of odd since I swear by energy drinks (does Monster need affiliate management by chance?). However, the idea of a “relaxation drink” I had originally thought to be a bit gimmicky, but I’m not one to write something off without giving it a fair shot. The fact that DrinkDreamWater.com offered a free sample didn’t hurt as I could try it without risk. So, with Snoozeberry Shot in hand, I gave it a try last night.

Dream Water is supposed to relieve stress. With a baby due any day now, plus trying to close on and move into a new house and an ever increasing workload as the Onboarding Director here at mgecom (see all of the “Welcome to the Family…” blog posts get a feel for how many new clients have been coming onto our client roster lately) I would say that stress is definitely something I have. It’s also supposed to help you sleep soundly. As I mentioned, I have a pregnant wife and we are living out of my in-laws’ house, sleeping in a full size bed. I do not sleep soundly most nights. If Dream Water could deliver on either of these proposed benefits, I would be thoroughly happy. Turns out I’m pretty ecstatic because it managed both.

I drank the shot just before 10 pm last night. It was a little bitter. Not in a bad way and likely due to the pomegranate in the Snoozeberry flavoring.  I laid in bed checking Facebook on my iPhone and started to drift within about 20 minutes. I gave in and just slept. Next thing I remember is waking up at 7 am this morning completely refreshed. I was up before the alarm, not in that stumble-out-of-bed-crashing-into-doors-squinting-against-the-least-bit-of-light kind of way. I was fully awake and ready to roll.

So to recap: Stress relief? Check. I avoided the racetrack of my mind at the end of the day when I lay in bed staring at the ceiling in the dark trying to process all of life’s events for the day. Sound sleep? Absolutely. I didn’t even notice my wife get out of bed in the morning to get ready for work, or the multiple trips that she took in the middle of the night (as all pregnant women do) to the bathroom.

Final thoughts? Great product. Anyone who needs to just chill out and get some quality sleep should seriously consider trying Dream Water. It’s a great natural option to sleep meds and doesn’t have the side effects either. Plus there’s great flavors like Snoozeberry, Lullaby Lemon, and I Dream of Kiwi. Who wouldn’t want to try those flavors?

If I wasn’t working for the company managing the affiliate program I would totally be an affiliate and tell others that they need to try it out. You should to. Click here to sign up and become and affiliate today. (That’s not me in the picture by the way. I don’t get that enthusiastic, and I rarely wear a suit…)
