Recurring Payments Added to TXT180 Affiliate Program

SMS messaging service provider TXT180 has revamped and enhanced its affiliate marketing program, a big part of which will give affiliates the opportunity to earn a recurring commission on every referral.

This new payment method is a complete 180 (pun intended) from the program's old affiliate compensation arrangement, which was to offer a one-time payment of 50 percent of the initial sign-up price. Not surprisingly, many affiliate partners weren't down with this system, and after running the program for over a year and taking partner feedback into account, the company decided to switch to a recurring payment structure and will now pay a 20 percent recurring commission for each account referred to TXT180 by the affiliate. This means that after just three payment cycles, the affiliate will have made more money than under the original TXT180 payment system altogether.

Of course, these recurring payments only continue for as long as the referred customer sustains his or her active group text message account with TXT180. The good news for affiliates is that it doesn't matter what kind of SMS messaging plan the customer signs up for, be it just a monthly package or a yearly plan, because the same 20 percent commission will be paid on every new plan sign-up and renewal.

To be a TXT180 affiliate, publishers can simply sign up here and get started in minutes.

Online gaming operator 10Bet is officially getting in the affiliate game after announcing a new partnership with software provider Income Access to launch a brand new affiliate program.

New 3DCart's Partner Program - 25% Recurring Commission

Ecommerce software provider 3DCart just launched a partner program. Anyone needing an online store should take a look as 3Dcart is offering up a 25 percent recurring commission on any of their plans.

With the rate that people tend to change their shopping cart (which is rarely), the offer should be appealing to designers, design firms, and even marketing agencies.

"The development of the new reseller program was meant to simplify the way web design and marketing businesses offer ecommerce to their customers," said Joe Palko, chief marketing officer for 3DCart. "With 24x7 support, a PCI-certified solution, nearly 15 years of experience in ecommerce, and features that include mobile and social commerce, web designers can boost their services to a new level and offer the best solution on the market to existing and new clients."

Most e-commerce software providers have some affiliate program in place - it's actually relatively surprising, and probably more newsworthy, that 3Dcart did not.

Marketing Media, a 3DCart Certified Platinum Designer, has successfully joined the new program. "3DCart's partner program allows us to offer powerful ecommerce tools to our clients while still having 100% control over the design aspect of the website," said Christian Fillion, director of business development and cofounder of Marketing Media. "The 25% recurring commission, combined with all the tools available in the partner portal, produces a great incentive for any design agency to refer customers to the award-winning 3DCart software suite."
