In Cahoots – Feeding the Frogansphere through the Affiliation Program
Yes Petunia, there is a frogans address registration affiliation program. Even for people in Virginia.
It’s like this: STG Interactive develops the Frogans Player. STG Interactive lets people download and use the Frogans Player for free (without even asking for their email address).
STG Interactive writes the Frogans Slide Description Language (FSDL) and posts the specifications without obligation for whoever wants to use them for authoring frogans.
STG Interactive invests oodles and oodles in technology and servers for the Main Frogans Network to which millions of Frogans Players on the computers of millions of Internet users world-wide may connect simultaneously 24/7 for locating millions of frogans by their frogans addresses on the Internet – for free?
With one exception: A frogans on the Internet requires a frogans address in order for it to be accessible. And you have to pay when you register a frogans address. But it’s cheap. 12 bucks for a year’s registration (20 bucks for two) is cheap. This is STG Interactive’s sole source of revenue (no adware, no private information collecting). I’m not going to suggest what kind of numbers are on the line, but STG Interactive will have to register gobs and gobs and heaps and heaps of frogans addresses to keep the motor running.
This is where the fun begins. Every new frogans on the Internet is an additional reason to download and install the Frogans Player. Every additional person who has installed the Frogans Player on their computer, be it running Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X, is one more reason to be publishing a frogans.
So if you’ve already registered a frogans address and have taken the time, effort and all-out passion to author a frogans worthy of the cause, you’re probably keen to the idea of your frogans having a lot of visitors. As your visitors in turn will want to get the most out of their shiny new Frogans Player, they will probably encourage more people to register frogans addresses who will in turn create more useful and entertaining frogans to be visited. This self-propagation of the Frogansphere (don’t look it up in Wikipedia, it’s a new word) results in there being more Frogans Player-enabled users ready to visit and navigate your frogans. May the circle be unbroken.
But at the time of this posting, the Frogansphere is tiny. In fact, it’s pre-natal, waiting for the upcoming Frogans technology release. But since we want our Frogansphere to grow up big and strong, it’s good to know that there is a frogans address affiliation program in the works to encourage the early nourishment and continued nutrition that it needs.
Here’s how it’s going to work: Once the program becomes operational you’ll be able to enroll into the frogans address registration affiliate program at the Commission Junction website (in the meantime, check out the Community page at frogans.com). There, you will be able to choose from a variety of text and banner ad links for frogans address registration that you put on your website, blog or emails. Every time someone registers a frogans address after following one of your links, not only does the Frogansphere get a little heftier and healthier, but you get a 10% commission. That comes out to $1.20 for a one-year registration, $2.00 for a two-year registration.
A couple zillion of those and the Frogansphere is off to college.
Note: Commission Junction should not be confused with “Conjunction Junction”, Bob Dorough’s Schoolhouse Rock boogie-woogie masterpiece.
