MuscleHunks and PowerMen affiliates

[shaun]

And all others who want to take a look!

When I email from the CCbill database, not everyone recieves messages from me.... so I wanted to post this here.

For about the last year, I have been building new software for our affiliate program - to make it easier for me to update and for my affiliates to get content.

Finally, its done (except for being tested by real users....)... if you are one of my affiliates, please take a look at http://www.musclepartners.com - (if you aren't one of my affilaites, please look anyway!)

Let me know what you think, what improvement we can make in the software, other features you might want. Right now we have FHG's, downloadable galleries. downloadable content sets, RSS feeds. I'll be adding tube feeds the downloadable movie area --- and we will be refining the RSS feeds by having preformated blogs.

My programmer and I have worked really hard on this software - with an eye on keeping it super user friendly for the less technically inclined! Please give us feedback on what else we might need to do, and if you like it.

Hi Shaun, my sweetness!

I signed up and went through the registration. There are some very helpful tools, I'll be working with that stuff soon.

Check your thumbnails, some are showing up larger than others.

this is one of the thumbs:

i'm pretty confused by the stuff on this page
http://musclepartners.com/freeHostedGalleries/user.php

it seems that affiliates may have to add each domain in order to promote your sites. i'm not sure what the other field and store button would be for - i've never seen anything like it, and i've joined over 1000 affiliate programs over the years.

also how does one generate links to link to the sites?

shaun, will there be more downloadable content for musclegallery? i really REALLY need non-nude content to use as galleries with upsells in my member area.

Hi Bass Chick....


I should document the multiple sites feature a little better.

I have several affiliates who have seperate ccbill ID's for different sites (I think they use CCbill to do the tracking?) ---- if you only use one affiliate ID, you only need to save one site, associated with your one affiliate ID, and as long as your ID is in place, it doesnt really matter where you send traffic from.

And yes, I will be adding more content from MG over the week. In the meantime, if you want, write me, and I will give you a site pass -

Thanks!

Hi Mark -

Which thumbs are showing up larger than others? and when?

Thank you for your feedback!

Which thumbs are showing up larger than others? and when?

When you look at photosets for Muscle Gallery the only ones that are the right size are thumbnails 1 and 3. On Live Muscle Show the last three have thumbnails that are the wrong size. [For the record, I'm seeing this in Firefox on a Mac.]

A few other issue... I did spot checking of a few photosets and MuscleHunk5.zip has watermarks for PowerMen, not MuscleHunk, and the color correction on MuscleHunk11 is all off...

And a couple things that would make the content easier to use... First, if you could put a text file in the folder with a brief description of the scene. And second, if the videos can be bundled with the photosets that would be helpful too... That way everything for one photoshoot is in one folder when it's decompressed... Even if they were presented on the same page as separate downloads, I could put the two zip files in a folder together... As it is, I'm not sure when I'm downloading whether MuscleHunk1.zip in the video section is related to MuscleHunk1.zip in the photoset section...

Overall, it's a very helpful tool. Thanks!

Thanks for your comments, those issues are fixed (user error!).

Patti, your new content will be there today.

The text files we will work on, though you can get a complete description with the RSS feed,

Thanks All! Any other feedback is wildly welcome!

quick note about a small typo on the first page of the site

one of the "stickest" surfing experiences

Hey Ya'll - ok, I have been getting lots of feedback.

One thing I do hear is "I want absolutely leak free" - which is something I do understand, and is not entirely possible if you send traffic to the front pages, because we DO have a store..... (I can tell you guys, til I am blue in the face, that members buy our videos, and surfers don't - and the "money" you are "losing" is a phantom of your imagination.... but..... whatever....)

SOOOOOO - I have 2 solutions. First, do you know that you can send traffic ANYWHERE on my sites you want? BUILD YOUR OWN TOUR AND SEND THE TRAFFIC DIRECTLY TO THE JOIN PAGE.

If you want ME to host your tour, submit it to me, and I will put it into a folder on my site - and you can send traffic there.

The other solution, for those affiliates who really feel like they know how a tour should look and what will work for thier traffic? Talk to me. I just got a budget allocation, and I am looking to pay someone to build me a few tour templates.

I have looked around ad nauseum for a designer to do this for me, but my site is SPECIAL, and I do not want a cum-bus copy (which seems to be the only tours being built by the guys who charge big bux to build tours....) - so, I have a budget - any of you affiliate designers who are interested in making some money building a couple of tours for us that you think / know / feel will improve your converstions? Talk to me, and I will pay you to build it.

I want to find someone by the end of the day today, so that affiliates have multi tour options by mid week next week.

Let me know!
