Inspired Money Maker and Amped Media to bring you Inspired Affiliate Marketing Challenge #3. There are a whole bunch of new prizes up for grabs in this competition, along with a new way for Bloggers who are not affiliate marketers to win prizes as well. Check out the details below.
Three Categories To Compete In
There are three different categories of prizes in the challenge.
The first category is called the “Affiliate Incubator Category” which is a category that all new participants qualify to compete in. You simply have to sign up with Amped Media using this referral link and if you haven’t placed in the top three in any of the previous challenges, you automatically qualify for this category. The purpose of this category is to allow new publishers to compete with others who have just signed up, as opposed to other affiliates who may already have numerous campaigns running for months.
The second category is called the “Main Category” which is the category that everyone participates in. Everyone qualifies for the “Main Category” even if they are also competing in the “Affiliate Incubator Category”. This means that new publishers who haven’t won a prize before can potentially qualify to win a prize in both categories. In the second challenge we had one winner who placed in the top 3 in both categories. This is an awesome incentive for anyone who hasn’t yet signed up with Amped Media to get signed up and go for both prizes in your first month.
The third category is called the “Super Affiliate Category” which is for affiliates who generate at least $10,000 in revenue during the contest period.
Winner’s Choice
One of the exciting new options we added in the competition last month was adding in the “Winner’s Choice” option which allows the winners of the competition to choose the prize they want in the order of their standings. So, for example, the person who places 1st in the challenge gets to choose his prize from the pool of prizes first. Then the 2nd place winner gets to choose and then the 3rd place winner.
The winners also have the option to “carry-over” their earnings from this challenge to future challenges, instead of choosing a prize, in order to potentially qualify for the “Super Affiliate Category” or a higher ranking spot in the top 3.
How to Participate
For anyone who participated in the first two challenges, you’re automatically eligible to participate in this month’s challenge as well. All you have to do is just earn affiliate revenue through Amped Media and you’re all set.
For any new participants, the rules are very simple. Here’s what you need to do:
(1) Sign up for an Amped Media account using the referral link (Click Here to Sign Up)
Please note that in order to approve your account, Amped Media must be able to reach you by telephone on the phone number you sign up with, so make sure you enter in a telephone number that they can reach you at during business hours.
(2) Once you have your account with Amped Media approved, you are ready to start earning revenues. Earn as much as you can during the competition, and the Top 3 earners in the Main Category and the Top 3 earners in the Affiliate Incubator category qualify to win prizes. If your earnings go above $10,000 you then qualify for one of the prizes in the Super Affiliate Category.
(3) Make sure you take the time to get to know your affiliate manager at Amped Media and talk to them about getting the kind of offers you want in order to earn the most. Amped Media is committed to bringing you the best offers possible, but as they are a rather new network they might not necessarily have all the offers you may see on other networks yet so you have to be proactive and ask them for what you want. They can’t read your mind. Also, if you’re running similar offers on other networks at different payouts make sure you talk to your affiliate manager. They are there to help you get competitive payouts on offers as well.
Super Affiliate Categories
There are currently three prize levels in the Super Affiliate Categories.

Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera
To qualify to win this beautiful digital SLR camera you must earn at least $25,000 in earnings during the competition period. Once again, remember that even if you don’t quite make it to this level in this challenge, as long as you place in the Top 3 you will have the choice to carry over your earnings to next month and compete to win this thing again.

Blogger, But Not An Affiliate Marketer?
Are you a Blogger, but not into affiliate marketing? Even if you are not an affiliate marketer, you can still participate to win prizes in this contest by helping me decide which prizes I should offer in upcoming competitions.
Here’s what you need to do in order to participate.
Step 1> Have some fun and pick 3 prizes that you think I should offer in next month’s challenge. For the top 3 spots, you have a $300 budget to work with for the #1 prize, a $200 budget to work with for the #2 prize and a $100 budget to work with for the #3 prize.
The products you pick should be fairly easily shippable and should work in most places in the world. For example, picking a cell-phone package from Verizon wouldn’t work because it may not be available outside of the US. It doesn’t have to be something that works absolutely everywhere, but it shouldn’t be something that only works in Southern California, USA for example.
The products should be easy for Amped Media to order online, so try to stick with online merchants. You could use Amazon or BestBuy online or other online merchants that offer worldwide shipping.
Step 2> Write a post on your Blog talking about this competition and talk about the top 3 prizes you would offer affiliates, including a brief description and pictures of the prizes. Link to this post using the words “Affiliate Marketing Challenge” somewhere in the body of your post and then leave a comment below linking back to your post so I can see which prizes you picked.
Step 3> Once the challenge is over, all the prize suggestions will be looked through and if one of the prizes ix chosen is suggested in the next challenge, you will win a $25 Amped Media Amex Gift Card for EACH prize used.
Final Words
This challenge ends on February 14th, 2009 at 8:59pm EST.
