Sky is continuing their amazing commission structure throughout March where you earnings are based on the previous month’s sales.

Your tier is gauged on new sales that you achieve the previous month, which rewards you for driving increased volume month on month. The commission structure is as follows.

On top of this amazing commission structure Sky also offer new affiliates the chance to generate a bonus for their first sale. You only have a few days left to benefit form this in February but don’t panic as in March Sky will be paying a flat bonus of £400 for any new affiliate who generates sales. That is an extra £150 than in February.

Sky haven’t forgot the hard work that our existing affiliates put into promoting Sky and we are keen to work closer with our existing affiliates.

We and Sky are keen to meet anybody who thinks they could do more for Sky with some more help from us. If you would like to organise a meeting with myself and Sky please get in touch in touch on the details below or on 0191 2416500.

Keep an eye out for the March edition of the Sky newsletter with all these updates and more!

Thanks

So if I make my first sale with Sky this month, It will generate me £440+?! Cant complain with that!

[Chris Brown]

Hi Tom,

That is correct mate, the bonus is added at the end of the month to your account once the sales are validated. This has to be for a new customer sale not an exiting customer, upgrading.

If you need any help in promoting Sky feel free to give me a shout on 0191 2416500 or on the email address below.

Thanks

Chris

Nice performance incentive & generous .. however.

But, there is nothing like value over volume & the brand bidding groups.

sky - Google Search

I wish I had though of that keyword.

I would love for you to demonstrate to me the incremental sales & value over volume.

Here is a keyword for you searching "live football coverage", there you go free consultancy, no invoice being sent.

live football coverage - Google Search

broadband deals - Google Search

Again, not a sausage

[Keith]

at least they have learned how to spell "sky"

[Shane]

Sky does sound a sweet group so I was intrigued to take a closer look, anyone in that is a lucky chappy/lady and would work hard you'd think..

Well on terms like :

"sky"
"sky tv"
"sky package"
"sky tv package"
"sky tv offer"
"sky offer"
"sky tv offer"
"sky promotion"

most are bidding happily, however on terms like :

"subscribe to sky"
"sky subscription"
"sky promo"
"sky promotion"

only have 1-3 bidding on them !! (ignoring sky themselves)

I used "quotes" above but ironically it would appear that many are probably bidding on [exact] match alone by the looks of it as if "sky" is searched with a misspell it doesn't drum much up i'e. :

"sky tb"
"sky tc"
"sky iffer"
"sky packafe"
"sky oackage"
"sky offrt"

All have 2-3 bidding on them at most and so it would seem some in the BBG can't even be bothered to dig up misspellings either, and these affiliates are supposed to be the cream of the crop !? capable of driving volume AND adding value ?!? yet they don't even cover misspells ?

I thought these brand groups were supposed to be working hard and add depth to search to justify their place in a BBG and in general to justify the actual existence of the BBG to the merchant overall ?

so even in a high profile brand group like sky it seems some BBG's are too idle (or greedy !?)to even set up decent campaigns and try to catch all the brand related traffic and some are happy to just cherry pick the highest traffic/ROI terms !?

ok, on a plus note, good to see a strong promo like this, well done sky and buy.at for negotiating that.. hope everyone does well from it (cept the lazy bbger's)

Chris, can you confirm that the upgrades are still applying to sky+ and movies/sports, as i'm sure the sky update that came through on email stated that they wouldn't apply anymore? I removed that element of upgrade from one of my sites based on that information.

Please let me know, give me a call about that other thing anyway.

PS - Do agree with what Shane is saying, they are missing so many important keywords. Being in that industry for my merchant business, i know hundreds, if not thousands of keywords that require "Sky" (the trademark name not to be used on adwords) and then another word or two that are not being capitalised on, and have thousands of impressions each month, even some that don't have sky themselves in the organic or ppc section. I've asked Chris in the past to include me in that group, i have invaluable information and knowledge, maybe he'll think about it
