posted November 25th, 2006 posted posted by John Dilbeck

If you are looking for a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for person on your gift-giving list, you may find just what you want at Cafepress.

With millions of items to select from, you should be able to find something for just about anyone.

And, yes, you can buy t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, caps, and other items of apparel, but that’s not all that is available.

The artists who sell through Cafepress offer calendars, posters, journals, clothing, tiles, aprons, clocks, and many other items.

If you want your gifts delivered before Christmas, you should shop early and avoid the rush.

Sell art prints and posters and earn great commissions

posted October 30th, 2006 posted posted by John Dilbeck

I am a member of a great affiliate program that I’d like to tell you more about. The Art.com Affiliate Program is a fantastic way to make money with your web site.

Visit Art.com

Art.com has over 100,000 prints, posters and photographs from many categories including fine art, sports, movies, music, celebrities and more. All you have to do is link to Art.com images on your website and you’ll earn 25-30% commission on all sales through the website.

Art.com also offers state of the art custom framing giving you the opportunity to earn greater commissions on framed prints.

They offer a range of linking tools that automatically generate html for products chosen and comprehensive reports to help you track your performance.

Just visit their affiliate program page and sign up for the program. It only takes a few minutes.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy being an Art.com Affiliate.

Want to see some ways to market these items? Come visit my artstore on JohnDilbeck.com.

You’ll see samples of search boxes, text links, and whole pages devoted to specific topics such as castles, dragons, wizards, and many other subjects.

Go to one of these links and see the list of subjects I’ve developed in the left column menu.

You can create your own artstore featuring the subjects you love and you can link directly to the subjects of your choice at art.com without building your own store. The choice is yours.

This is a two-level affiliate program, so you can also earn 5% of the commissions earned by affiliates you refer to the program.

I’ve earned some great commissions from this company. You can, too.

Art Store completely rebuilt as Art.com changes affiliate program

posted March 9th, 2004 posted posted by John Dilbeck

Art.com is changing their affiliate program, again.

When I first joined, a couple of years ago, they had a very good in-house affiliate program with excellent tools. Then, they discontinued it in favor of going with LinkShare, and the tools that were available for marketing their art products were not as good, at least in my opinion.

I recently learned that they were transitioning back to an in-house program. So, I joined the new program and I’ve spent the last week or so reorganizing and updating my Art Store at JohnDilbeck.com.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be adding posters and photos to the appropriate pages in my bookstore, too.

If you are interested in affiliate program marketing, I encourage you to learn more about Art.com’s affiliate program and join it if it fits your needs and interests.

Oh, yeah, check out my Art Store and purchase posters, photos, and fine art prints. Over 100,000 products are available in thousands of categories. If you don’t find what you want on my site, every page in the art store has a search box. Enter the name of a movie, musician, topic or keyword and you’ll be presented with great artwork for your consideration.
