Wow! Rarely do I see a tool that I feel is revolutionary in Online Marketing but Push44 is one of those tools! Push44 enables you to turn your best customers into your own pro-active marketing team, by giving them an incentive to talk about your brand with their friends, colleagues, family, and share it socially on Facebook and Twitter. It also allows you to see who’s spreading the word about your business, how they’re spreading it (Facebook, Twitter, email, etc), and how effective it is, i.e. bringing in incremental revenue and creating more additional customer engagement/loyalty. The program is completely automated and trackable in real-time (i.e you can see which customers are your most active marketers and who is driving the most additional sales, so you can engage with them and improve the relationship). Push44 is similar to an affiliate program, but with even more flexibility. It allows you to instantly turn your customers into company advocates and marketers, rewarding them when their referee becomes a customer or takes the desired action, i.e.make a purchase. You can set-up your rewards for the referrals and it publishes the promotion quickly and easily. Then you can start exposing your customers to it right after they purchase on your Thank You/Order Confirmation page. It’s that easy to turn your customers into instant referrers and later on you can run promotions to your former customers to fire them up again promoting your company!

Example Deals:
You just bought a concert ticket. If 6 friends buy a ticket through your link, you get your ticket fully refunded. Your friends get $5 off their ticket by purchasing through your link.

You love the spa you go to. They have created a Push deal where you get a free massage for every 2 friends that book a massage through your referral. Your friends get 10% off their massages by coming through your referral.

Content, Content, Content – the search engines love unique, original content. Become a proficient writer, one that types with blazing speed and is mildly creative. Or hire writers to provide the content on a per piece basis. Articles/blog posts range from $10-25 per 400 word piece from outsourced writers. Write about things people are interested in and would return to your site read.

Syndicate your content – Submit RSS feed to: www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55
Broadcast your content – Submit post to Ping.fm for mass syndication. This updates your “status” on all your social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). This increases replies, comments, and responses for your network.

Choosing Topics: What niches should I go into?
See what other affiliates are doing. Run some searches on topics or products you are interested in. See who comes up in the search results. Study what other people are doing on their sites to give you ideas of what you should do.

Join affiliate programs – Join tons of programs on CJ, Linkshare, and Shareasale. See who accepts you. CJ programs can be sorted by EPC or best performing offers. Then go to Google and search for those merchants and see who ranks organically. There should be many portals and niche affiliate sites ranking.
