The Politician’s very own affiliate network

By Pranav Chavda ⋅ February 13, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Stumbled upon a very interesting blog post earlier today via a post on ABW about how politicians can benefit from affiliate marketing.

and I quote:

A campaign manager is paid, so why couldn’t a supporter of Obama get a small fee for every legitimate email address she or he refers to signup to the Obama mailing list? Or a 10% cut of any donation money she refers? It might blur the line between knowing if your friend really believes in Obama’s ideas, or is just doing it for money, but in some ways it’s just about getting people to learn more about the candidate and make their own decisions.

Nice! I don’t even live in the US, but I am sure that I’d be among the first affiliates to sign up for and start promoting affiliate programs run by politicians, should such a thing actually come into existence. There can be one website dedicated to promoting the democrats, and another one for the republicans! :D

  • There was an affiliate program for the Republican National Committee for the last Presidential election. It was on CJ.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see more of the same in 2008.

    Just checked my account and the program is still active - it's got a 3 month EPC of $8.71.
  • 8.71 is a decent EPC, especially during non-campaigning days!
  • Good information. I think you should Try for more?
