USA E-Cig Affiliate/Reseller Program
The other day I saw a guy smoking one of these new “E-Cigs”. I was immediately interested because I smoke – but not in my house. They are also getting more expensive (6 bucks a pack here shortly). So I picked his brain a bit – and then researched where he was getting them. Turns out they are made from a company in China. The scary part was that they were selling them for $33 dollars where every reputable(ish) company was selling for 3 to 5 times that much.
That was scary enough for me right there – can we say no thankyou to what ever crap they are putting in the things to lower the cost? Here is your lead filter, and insecticide filler 
What I was impressed with is their packaging and prompt responses so far.
If you want to sign up to be an affiliate or a reseller here you go…. you can register from here.
Update: Luci is paying out on a regular basis. Conversions are good. Tracking appears stable. I’ve created a resource site for E-cig affiliates here: E-cig Affiliate Center.

Your right it does seem to be a good product, my son works with the guy on a nother project.
Nice looking product it’s all black, it’s rather distinctive looking. I signed up as an affiliate a while ago but have not started promoting it yet for some reason.

Hey Ed,
I looked at this site and it looked like a winner initially. What turned me off some was the “smoke for free program”. It looks like if you set this up as an affiliate funnel, this scenario could occur.
You get traffic through your affiliate link(beg, borrow or buy), the prospect goes to the site and explores the product, buys and all is well. In his explorations, sees the “smoke for free” program where he can sign up for a username and get “bonuses” for him and his friend when he refers them. Well, my best guess is that he and his friends will not be using your special luci address to make any further residual purchases if they can do so and get “bonuses” for themselves. So it appears that you would most likely lose your residuals on most traffic sent through your links. It seems to me that this is back to a standard one up affiliate sale. I don’t know how their cookie system works so perhaps the customer is yours for life?
Still not a bad deal but I initially thought that we may have residual sales on this one. Perhaps I am not viewing this correctly, and would entertain additional input.
Have a good weekend!!

They store cookies indefinitely… the smoke for free links are buried pretty far back in the site, and I don’t see it as a big issue (or at least a deterrent considering the quality of the other sites you could be promoting).
# Visitor clicks on an affiliate link on your site or in an email.
# The visitors IP is logged and a cookie is placed in their browser for tracking purposes.
# The visitor browses our site, and may decide to order.
# If the visitor orders (the order need not be placed during the same browser session–cookies and IPs are stored indefinitely), the order will be registered as a sale for you.
# We will review and approve the sale (For security purposes).
# You will receive commission payouts on the 20th of every month (if your balance is at least $100) via PayPal
For the most part 99 percent of the people you send there won’t be interested in ‘points’ – but if they do sign up it will be for the referral program (to earn money) and go in your sub affiliates list.

Ed,
I used your link to become an affiliate. Will you have a forum section for this over at Other98Percent?
Thanks,
Greg

I’ll make a segment over there in a day or so – good idea. I’ve noticed a number of you have already made a few sales.
I just hired a LP designer to make a flyer for me – I’ll send it to you guys when it’s done.

Figure this was due for a little update – they DO pay. Both for direct sales and downline sales (the downline sales bit was a nice bonus).

Make sure you join the newsletter if you want everything we put out. I won’t be mailing sub affiliates directly any other way any longer.
