MTA Transit Store Affiliate Program
The MTA is recruiting websites for their new (?) affiliate marketing system.
If you are a webmaster, they would looooove to pay you 5% for all the sales traffic you send to transitmuseumstore.com. That’s right, cash money for selling transit schwag.
Well, we weren’t especially impressed with the program, so you won’t be seeing ads for subway gear here any time soon. A 5% share for low end items and transactions is a bit weak.
Think about the transaction volume. Let’s say someone gets a nifty subway map necktie for the low low price of $38.00. That’s $1.90 for you. Yeah…not that thrilling. And how huge is the market for subway stuff?
It was nice to be be asked though. Apparently they have to pay off the actual transit museum because the stuff is under licence. So that’s the reason for the low commission rate.
Maybe if they had kicked me some snazzy subway cuff links or something, I would have joined. Maybe.

Well how much is 5 percent I wonder? it could be 1 cent or 5 dollars. I suppose, if you have a simple link there and pikc up some loose change it woudl be worth it.
Reply5% isn’t all that bad though most affiliate programs pay more than that. I’m sure you wouldn’t have to search long to find higher paying offers. Nice site by the way and good layout. all the best with your endeavors.
Reply5% seems very low to me. Actually I have never heard of an affiliate program paying less than 50%.
ReplyMost people pay out between 60% and 75%. One of the best places I know to find good products to promote is Clickbank.
