This must be some kind of summer drive for ad networks to get new publishers. First, we had Kontera offering 100% revenue share. Now, Pepperjam Network is ordering a review to let everyone know that they are giving new publishers $10 just for signing up!
According to a recent Marketing Sherpa article, Pepperjam Network is recognized as one of the top 5 major affiliate networks in the United States. In less than 5 months Pepperjam Network has already acquired and amazing 17.7% of the market and continues to grow. In the first quarter of 2008 Pepperjam Network launched 175 new advertisers, making it by far the fastest growing affiliate network in the United States.
This chart shows that most serious affiliate marketers use at least four out of five top networks. What’s interesting about this chart is the rapid growth of the 5-month old Pepperjam Network.
17.5% of the surveyed marketers already use the infant network. And eBay recently signed on to work with Pepperjam – leaving behind the recognized leader, Commission Junction. That development occurred *after* the survey was conducted – an indication that the network’s quick rise may accelerate even more.
$50 Blogger Incentive Program
If you join Pepperjam Network this month, not only will receive $10 just for signing up, but you can make up to $50 per month by blogging about them.
Bloggers are the lifeblood of the PJN Publisher Referral program and tend to be our biggest supporters and closet friends. As a result, we thought we’d create a sort of “Pay Per Post” incentive program where any PJN publisher / blogger will receive $10 for each post you make (up to 5 per month) that promotes Pepperjam Network or any Pepperjam Network tool.
If you are looking for blog ideas check out the Pepperjam Network blog (which has an interview with me). So that our team can track your efforts and eliminate spam please e-mail bloggers@pepperjamnetwork.com prior to making your post to gain approval of the topic (i.e. I want to write about Pepperjam Chat or the launch of the PJN Blogger Incentive Program, etc.). BTW – of course you can use your PJN Referral Program affiliate links and make even more money every time you post about Pepperjam Network!
This has the potential for a great viral promotion for Pepperjam Network. I can see them moving up to number 4 or maybe even number 3 affiliate networks before the year is out.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

I wonder how much you have to earn to receive payout?
The min payout is $25. They will give you $10 for joining so you only need to earn another $15 to get a check.
A lot of times people dont so the company never has to give out the money. And CJ actually takes the money if nothing is made after like 3 months I found out. I lost a few bucks doing that.
I tried PepperJam before but didn’t have much luck with them.
Has anybody done really good with them?
Me too – now thinking to place a referral ads
I guess it varies with the ads you chose from their list just like any other affiliate network. You have to chose the right type of ads for the content on your site.
These networks are desperately looking for new members. On the other side $10 is enough to get me convinced to sign up. I was just looking for a new ad network
I think only the smaller ones are. Look at CJ for instance… they make it next to impossible for new signups to get approved for advertisers within their network
Pepperjam Network is totally different from the other networks. They stay on top of their affiliates and they keep you up to date! Great network to work with and beats the others hands down!
Darin
I also wonder if anyone who has tried PepperJam and can give more input. Thanks Darin for your input by the way!
Honestly I never heard of them. Let me check it out.
That’s a sweet deal. I’ll probably sign up with them.
Honestly,i appreaciate it,thanks.
been stuck at $37 at CJ for quite a long time. Maybe signing up to PJN will improve things.
as a new blogger, it is so freaking confusing who to use and for what. This is a good article over at Sherpa and it only is free until July 3…go read the whole thing today!!!
The best thing to do is to look over the more well-known affiliate programs & decide which one is best for you.
why not use all of them? It’s not like they have a rule that says you can only use one.
I just don’t get Pepper Jam. Their interface is very different.
John,
Thanks for the post.
With you being so busy as a coach on Top Affiliate Challenge I’m surprised to see you actively checking e-mails and blogging – A definite sign of a die-hard.
One thing you didn’t mention above is that not only are we giving bloggers $10 to blog and the ability to give away $10 to new affiliates for signing-up for Pepperjam network, but we are allowing that same blogger to use affiliate links (like you did above) to make an additional $7 for every new affiliate they sign-up! For those of you (like John Chow) with a boat load of readers that could equal some real cabbage (i.e., in John’s case, 26,849 readers x $7 = $187,943) – Now that’s a blogger incentive program worth blogging about!!!!
Kris Jones
papperjam rocks …its the most aggressive affiliate network, thanks john for this…
Actually – you only have to earn $25 on Pepperjam Network for payout, not $50. We pay every two weeks via PayPal, direct deposit, or paper check.
Kris
I’m confused, should I sign up or not because I have never tried affiliate marketing.
thanks for this John..its a good network
Sounds very interesting to me. But how easy is it to sign up?
This is really awesome. I’ll surely try it out.
No doubt, John is going to make a boatload off this post for all the sign ups. I may as well be one of them…you’re welcome.
Just signed up
I’ve used Commission Junction in the past and didn’t really like it that much because the website seemed a little too chaotic. This $10 incentive program will make me sign up for Pepperjam without question, I just hope their website is a little cleaner then CJ.
I read about your comment and you say that $50 is the minimum payout. If we join now, we will get $10 right? Then, we promote PepperJam Network to get $50.00 right?
So, we can actually make $60 from it. Am I correct?
The min payout is actually $25, so you only need to earn another $15 to get a check.
Thats a nice offer by PepperJam. I might take part in it.
Thanks for this article John…!!!
I think that PepperJam is a good network and I’ ll probably sign up with them using your affiliate links.
Stefano from Italy
What offers do they give?
Is it free?
Pepperjam is free to join. They have offers from nearly 200 advertisers.
Has anyone used Pepperjam before? What was your experience with them?
can i also from germany benefit ?
has anyone european user experience with them?
Hi John
This means,If I display Pepperjam then I cannot go with Bidvetizer rt?? But I am sure that Konetra is OK along with Pepper jam to be shown on the blog
Thanks Jon
Hmm, seems like it is a nice system. Gonna check it right now!…
It’s not very often that an income opportunity is revealed in a bloggers post. At least, I would say this is a first for me.
Hopefully, it will prove to be a practical starting point for those who try it.
Thanks.
I am going to check out pepperjam. Thanks for the tip John
I’m a bit confused how to use pepperjam network. Is paypal available as the payment method? Thanks.
Ill check it out, but do they pay by paypal?
What if you don’t have a tax ID because you don’t have any workers?
nice! Thanks for sharing
Farhan
I will check it, hope that it pays by paypal
Based on the messgae I sent my registration to Pepper jam stating that I am a new publisher and I come thro John chow dot com.But they have rejected my request
My Blog url : http://urspots.blogspot.com/
email:ulp@sify.com
This makes me think that whether the promotion rally exists
Pradeep
I will check them out. I already have a account with CJ and Linkshare.
very nice. $10 in signup!, and on getting another $15, cheque? am I right?
Do you think 14-year old’s can join Pepperjam Ads? I want to join.
Is Pepperjam available for Asia blogger ?
Is pepperjam something like Adsense ?
I would like to join but worry that Pepperjam could decrease my Adsense earning.
I find this type of companyq uite hard to earn moneyw ith. i guess I need to take a leaf out of John Chows book and get more traffic to my site and then my advertisements shoudl start generating me more money.
Nice incentive to get signups. But what are they going to do with the people they get? There really aren’t a great deal of good offers to choose from. I would rather see, sign up with pepperjam and get access to over 500 offers on top of the 40 offers we already have.. They just have a small selection. They have a few good offers, but why login to see the same things over and over again.

I just don’t get Pepper Jam. Their interface is very different.
Personally,
I am usually turned off by the request for money when it comes to a job opportunity. In the business industry, it is standard that the employer pays the employee. It is no different in the virtual world.
I always consider it a red flag when money is requested for the revelation of a job opportunity.
This is a great opportunity, but this site is just for US citizens. After signing up with the site, and verifying my email address, they told me 2 days later that my application for signing-up is rejected!
