I've been debating with myself as to whether I should write about this opportunity or not. It's something I experimented with a while back and I've just noticed I've a further $40.60 commission from them this week.I hesitate mentioning this affiliate program because I know it's definitely not something for everyone. I wouldn't advertise the products on this blog, for example.
The thing is though it is very profitable - none of the minute 5% commission say you would get from the likes of Amazon.
Okay the company is Convergence inc and the products are of an adult nature - that's why there is a lot of profit - 30% to be exact for affiliates.
Convergence inc trade under the name of sexTOYsex and they offer free websites, which can be customised with affiliates own banners. In fact affiliates can have more than one site if they so wish, again for free.
If so inclined, you set up your free website(s) and then promote the site(s) to attract visitors. When customers purchase items you are paid 30% commission and 20% on videos. Now these are serious percentages so no wonder that the top affiliates earn $50,000 per month - yes, per month.
I dabbled with Convergence when I started blogging mainly because I could understand the potential. It's obvious that these sort of products sell well on the Internet. It's all private and, for people interested in such items, there isn't the embarrassment of having to visit a shop or store
As well as adult products i.e. toys etc. there are also other things that affiliates can promote such as lingerie, video on demand, DVD's, webcams plus they are certified to sell 'prescription medications' like Cialis, Levitra and Viagra. Straightaway I must add that this is a reputable company and they do not allow spam and other junk ways of promotion.
A few answers to typical questions from their FAQ page:
Why is it free?
It doesn't cost us anything to generate a store for you. Then, if you bring in sales, we both make money.
Do I have to deal with customers?
No. We handle everything. Your only job is to bring in the customers.
Can I get more information?
Yes! We have tons! Just sign up and get a free code and password. Then log into our administration where we have free banners, instructions, marketing tips, and toll free number for support.
How do I know you will pay?
We created the first affiliate program for adult products back in 1996, and we have never missed a payment. We know that the key to our success is paying affiliates high commissions on time. If we don't pay, you will stop sending us sales.
Personal Opinion
What I can confirm is that they do pay out on time, exactly as they say they will.
Orders are often sizable. The $40.60 I have just earned was from only two orders. I placed a small ad on one of my celebrity blogs to get these.There is quite a lot of promotional material i.e. ads, banners etc. Some, no probably most, are quite explicit but there are some which are described as 'discreet'.
It's up to individuals as to what they think of such programs and websites and whether they would want to promote such 'things' or even be involved with them. I'll say no more.

I'll probably never mention this affiliate program again.
A score? I'd give it 4/5.
Good luck,
Mike.
