Imagekind – ShareASale

Posted by Mitch on Nov 14, 2008
Listen with webreader

Talk about a different kind of affiliate program. Imagekind, through Share-A Sale, offers an affiliate program where people can purchase images instead of other types of programs. Frankly, I was surprised by it, and I like the idea so much that I’ve signed on as an affiliate, and at some point I’ll be adding a block ad of some kind to my sidebar.

Imagekind allows people to post their images on their site for purchase, and if you, as an affiliate, get people to go to the site, then you get a piece of their commissions for sales of their images. Because the prices vary so drastically on this site, believe it or not, you could make a commission off an image anywhere from $10 to $10,000; yup, that wide a range. I’m just imagining someone purchasing a print of that magnitude and being able to get a piece of that; nice!

You can go through the gallery and select images that you like and market those specific images. For instance, here’s one that I absolutely love, though I’ll probably never make it to France; click on it if you’d like to purchase it:

Of course they offer banner ads like what you see below, but there’s more. By joining this program, there are other programs you can add to the mix. For instance, Random House publishers is someone you can market for, along with Electronic Boutique, Rugman, Ace Hardware, and about a hundred others.

Anyway, this is another affiliate that adds some diversity to the norm of affiliate programs, and I think it will add a new quality to my blog site. At least I hope so.

I’ll give it a shot Mitch, but not for the image aspect as I’m not sure that too many people will pay enough for an image where you can make $10 commission. I’m going to give it a go because of the opportunities offered by those other companies.

I wouldn’t be so sure, Sire. Last week I know someone who purchased $500 worth of images that she liked. Imagine if you had even one buyer who went in and purchased that much at one time; I’d take that. But the other stuff works just as well.

To be fair Mitch, I made that comment before I saw the quality of the prints for sale. So I reckon my reputation of never being wrong stand ;)

Hah, I finally caught you on one, my man! LOL Isn’t that a great picture, though? Now, I’m not so sure it would look that nice as a 125×125 image, but maybe as a 250×250 if I put it on the right side,…

Yeah, you got me, and I thought you were hitting the sack. Wassup, you lose your way to the bedroom?

Yeah, I’d lost my way to the bedroom, but I eventually found it. Didn’t stay long, but I at least finally went.

So tell me, exactly how much sleep do you get, on average?

These days, between 5 and 6 hours.

That was may a few years back, but I am finding that I need a bit more than that these days.

Mitch Reply:

Heck, it’s not that I don’t need more; I just don’t sleep any longer than that, so I’m often tired. Probably why I sit at the computer so long.

5-6 hrs?!?!?!…..SLACKER!!

keep us updated on this.With ALL the available free images on the net, I’d be interested to know how this fairs out.

I am a member of share-a-sale, so I’ll check it out.

I don’t think the thing is all about the free images, Dennis. I think it’s all about the packaging, which includes frames, gift wrapping, etc. After all, not many people are good at framing, although, for folks like you and I, we would probably find something to use if we wanted to hang a big picture of some sort.

Yep, the nearest woman. LOL

I’m no good at things like that myself. :)

And I’ve got one in the other room who handles all the picture hanging in the house, so I’m with you on that one. ;-)
