Quality

We provide merchants with quality leads and sales – something that will convert and will not waste the merchant’s time. The reason why we believe so strongly in this is the fact that our core belief is that of a “long term relationship”. In order to have this long-term relationship with our merchants, we need to provide quality leads and sales.

With the other networks out there you will not have this, since the networks don’t have any control as to what the affiliates are doing and how the affiliate generates these leads. It’s understandable, since the networks has thousands of affiliates and it cannot be expected for them to actually track every single affiliates website and the leads generated.

Direct Relationship

With the affiliate networks out there, the merchants only communicate with the network itself and not the affiliates, mostly because the network doesn’t want the merchant to have this relationship because they’re worried that the network will approach the affiliate, form a direct relationship with them and then obviously exclude the network from the revenue.

With us you have a direct relationship not only with the company but also with the members in the company. This not only improves communication on both sides but also produces better quality sales and leads.

Background and experience

In a normal affiliate network there are thousands of affiliates signing up. Almost 90% of them don’t have any background in internet marketing and only sign up to see what’s going on or they heard that “internet marketing is the next big thing out there”.

With us you can rest assured that all members have a background in internet marketing and a general marketing background which is backed by Justin Harrison, who has more than 12 years of experience in the international internet markets.

Group and personal relationship

We are a group of 8 members with a very strong personal and business relationship. You know the saying “two heads are better than one”? Well this is the case with us as we communicate with each other on a daily basis to help improve each others businesses as well as the company’s business.

With a normal affiliate network the affiliate network doesn’t really give any support to its affiliates since it’s simply just too time consuming and the affiliate networks themselves specialise in being a network and not internet marketing. So they don’t really know how to provide support in these areas.

We’re serious when it comes to business

Lets face it – this is what we do full time and in order for it to work for ourselves we need to make it work for the merchant. So merchants can be assured that we work full time on sending serious amounts of quality leads and sales to the merchants. This is something that a network simply can’t do, since most affiliates only spend time on affiliate marketing after hours and have other full time jobs.

The point of it all is – we’re serious about our business, we believe in long-term relationships with our merchants and it’s exactly because of these points that we decided to be different and started the Internet Marketing Upstart Group – not only to be different from the rest but to make a significant difference in South African marketing.
