Elance Chooses AMWSO to Launch and Manage a New Innovative Affiliate Marketing Program

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, March 19, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Geared toward bringing new high value job postings and more work to the Elance marketplace, the Elance Affiliate Marketing Program offers several ways to earn commissions for driving transactions on the Elance platform. Affiliates will receive both bounties for first time job posters, as well as a share of payments made that result from those job posts. Additionally, affiliate partners share in the success of the referrals with respect to optional premium job posting fees that are purchased by the clients they refer.

This new Elance program is geared toward opening up a huge field of potential customers for affiliates to harvest. The breadth of services provided by the 75,000+ service providers on Elance is enormous, ranging from technical and creative work such as programming, Web development, translations, multimedia, copywriting, software development and much more. Marketing agencies, IT consultants, Web developers, translation agencies, entrepreneurs and any business that needs to cost effectively get the right people whenever they need them are well-suited to take advantage of the operational flexibility offered by Elance.

Affiliates will be provided an arsenal of support to go after potential customers including market strategies, banners, widgets, written content, and more. The Elance Affiliate Marketing Program fills an important niche in the world of affiliate marketing by bringing its business-to-business orientation and opportunity to the affiliate marketplace.

Dave Oliver, Director of Business Development for AMWSO states, "Elance kicking off an affiliate program with AMWSO makes perfect sense given the current economic situation. As businesses scale back staffing and look for ways to be more efficient in getting all of their work completed. Businesses are looking more and more to freelance and contract talent to maintain organizational flexibility as they migrate from fixed costs to variable costs in the way they run their businesses. This affiliate marketing channel is ideally suited to get the word out about the scope of services offered by Elance and help businesses successfully find the skilled talent they're looking for."
