Who’s ready for the first (of many I’m hoping) contest for affiliate marketers on my blog? I am!

Mike Cataldo of Tatto Media is an excellent AM. So excellent in fact that when I contacted him about starting up a contest on my blog, he said yes! For those that don’t know about Tatto Media, here’s a little stuff about them.

Well, they are an Boston, MA based advertising network with options available for advertisers, publishers, and affiliate marketers. They are ranked in the top 40 by comScore for behavioral advertising reaching a large percentage of the Internet audience.

After signing up and becoming an affiliate, I could tell Tatto Media wasn’t just a normal affiliate network. They’ve got a nice selection of offers all built on a custom back-end. That means no mess with DirectTrack and other poor click-tracking systems going down. Everything is very clean and built from the ground up. Payouts on offers (They’ve got dating, mobile, email-submits, insurance, and many other niche offers) are decently high, and I’m sure if you are doing enough volume with them, they’ll bump that up even higher. The referral program only gives 1% of the affiliates revenue, but this just means Tatto Media can pay out that affiliate higher on their offers!

And what else about them? Well, Mike, my affiliate manager, actually owns a ton of offers on the network himself. That means he doesn’t actually deal with a middle man that takes 20% off of what you could actually be making. He is very accommodating to giving payout bumps so don’t feel afraid to contact him if you want some more money!

So after chatting with Tatto Media and Mike about this contest, they gave me a big old budget to work with and I picked out two pretty cool prizes you can win for this contest. They are the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10-Inch Netbook and the Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM 25.5-inch LCD Monitor.

For those that are always on the go, but don’t have a notebook yet, the netbook could be a killer prize for you. It’s sleek, small, and will allow you to refresh your Prosper202 stats while you are away from your desktop station. Looking at it kinda makes me want to win this prize myself. Here are some more specs on it.

• Up to 9.5 hours battery life
• First netbook with the Intel Atom N280 processor (667MHz FSB)
• 10-inch screen & large chiclet keyboard for comfort
• 160GB hard disk drive plus 10 GB Eee online storage
• Built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for easy wireless connectivity
• Multi-touch touchpad for ease of use

And for those who aren’t worried about portability or who’ve already go it, you guys should go for this! The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM 25.5-inch LCD Monitor is an absolute beast of a computer monitor. This is the same one that I use and I absolutely love it so much that I am soon going to buy a second one. It’s hugeeeeeee! 25.5 inches of desktop space will help you build more affiliate marketing campaigns, open up more programs and windows, and just increase your overall productivity by nearly 4x! I speak from experience.

So what do you have to do to win!?

There will be multiple ways for you to have a better chance to win than others, and I will constantly be informing you on how you can get more chances. For now, here are some ways for you to get a piece of the pie.

*This step is required! You must sign up to Tatto Media using this link. It is important that you use this link and only this link. It’s important as it will allow me to track affiliates progress for additional chances to win. Just for signing up and being accepted into the Tatto Media Affiliate Network, you will gain one chance at winning!

Start marketing! For every $100 dollars in revenue you generate at Tatto Media, you will gain 5 more chances at winning either of these amazing prizes! $1,000 in revenue and you’ll have 50 chances. At 10,000 dollars, that is over 500 chances to win!

For now, another way to pick up a chance to win is by following me and tweeting on Twitter the following message:

• @Justin_Dupre + Tatto Media are giving away a FREE netbook or 25.5″ Monitor to affiliates! See how you can win! -  http://bit.ly/8zVeN #taju

Make sure the hashtag and link stay the same so I can easily track who has been entering for an extra chance to win.

The final way I will list a chance to win is to blog about the contest. Make it long, make it short, it doesn’t matter. As long as the post isn’t marked as spam and picks up as a trackback to this post, you’ll pick up 1 more chance.

So obviously, your best way to win is to sign up on Tatto and start generating revenue. You will have until June 30th, and then all entries will be counted (I’ll keep up to date daily) and a winner will be chosen. I will update with more posts about this contest as time goes on. If we get enough participation, maybe we can even up the game with greater and a more variety of prizes!

So what are you waiting for? Start getting to work with Tatto Media now for your chance to win either a 25.5″ Samsung computer monitor or a brand-spankin’ new ASUS Eee PC!
