[SYSOP]

Many of you may have been reading between the lines and clicking around out of curiosity and already know about this:

For the last few months, Mikey1090 & myself have been hard at work developing a new age tool that encompasses analytics, recruitment, management, a launch platform, and closes the gap between affiliate and publisher at clickbank once and for all.

We're happy to announce NicheJunky - Home >>



Features:

Affiliates:
* Mine the ClickBank Product Marketplace
* Create an account and make your own shortlist/promotion lists
* Get vital intel about each product on the market & it's competitors
* See new launches and big products here first
* Get on the newsletter and stay even more up to date with market shifts & offer announcements
* Sort through categories or search results with on-screen sorting/ajax enabled (HOT!)
* Search by CBID or by search phrase - more detailed sorting coming
V1.0 will have time-framed sorting, publisher contact, affiliate material per program claimed & more.

Publishers:
* Launch your new programs here/recruit affiliates
* Claim your product, and add all your affiliate materials to your page (coming in v1.0)
* Stay in touch with your affiliates right through our interface
* Check on your competitors products, stay in the loop regarding new launches
* Take advantage of our adzones - we have a variety of outreach capabilities

This has been a NicheChopper initiative and facilitates many avenues for us including:

1. A great in-house analytics tool for you guys
2. Recruitment to the NC community
3. Getting our/your programs & launches out there quickly
4. Enabling all you publishers to finally have a central location to upload all your materials for affiliates
5. Giving everyone a fair chance at clickbank outreach seeing as their ad inventory has a 1.5 year backlog/wait... We will be capping ad placements and introducing new zones downstream

I want to take a moment to praise the mastermind programmer behind this beast - Mikey you've outdone yourself with this and I truly appreciate you doing such a great flawless job with it to date, so THANK YOU BROTHER! When someone like me who designs these interfaces and concepts and clickpaths etc. meets up with a programmer like Mikey here, magic happens case in point

So - you guys are hearing about this first. It's in my sig at a few forums, we've leaked it a little here and there, but it hasn't been worth showing to the masses just yet as we want to get as much working/flawless as possible first. While Mikey wraps up the last few bits of BETA, we've decided to give you all first dibs and a 7 day bug test trial before going forward with our blitz to the public.

This also means that all you guys are getting first dibs on the adzones should you want to grab a package. By being a chopper you'll get another discount on the listed pricing... So if you have a launch or want that big boost in aff's right NOW, this is a good way to kickstart your recruitment before we do our marketing blitz.

We'll use this thread to capture all the bugs too so a) Please drop your feedback and general thoughts about the project, b) if you catch any bugs please post them, c) If you have suggestions to make it even better please post them.

Mikey will be working the next version and we already have quite a few plans however we want to hear your ideas as well, this thing should shake the CB tree a little once it gets out there so help us make a great splash onto the market!

Everything is free We may implement fee's downstream but not for a while.


Cheers on the bug.

Those errors should have been taken care of. If you see them again give me a PM with more details.

I should take this opportunity to say some things myself.

** I'm more than a programmer. I'm a partner....I own half the site, so feel free to get in touch with me about anything. Norb could probably do with a few less PMs each day!

** This is probably the biggest site I've ever built - and the most motivating and hard-work-enforcing client/partner I've ever worked with. Not only did Norb give me a cracking design to slice up and lay my php into, he constantly made me re-program and re-create pages and features to get the best out of me and ensure you guys have a good time with the site.


******

And as for the next version, you ain't seen nothing yet We have a lot of big plans

[SYSOP]

Call me a slave driver I'm actually stoked I didn't outsource this and am glad to call Mikey my partner - apologies for not making that clear Padna' I don't think I could have outsourced this to be honest. Mikey takes his time to perfect bug lists, everything is custom built no off the shelf crap, and we're in charge of each pixel/command/scalable option from the ground up so again kudos to your skrilla's Mikey.

Exciting times!!

[lemonarian]

Awesome work guys! I'll be using this baby

[AshleyBaker]

Woo the beast is here!

For those interested in advertising, my two ^ 'Padna's' above seem to have forgot to mention, that I'll be your advertising hostess. < No wait that's not right.

Anyywaay. This advertising space will reach hundreds/thousands of affiliates and publishers!

Also a shoutout from me to Mikey, you've spent a lot of time on this, and it's nice to be able to sit back and see it in its entirety. Good work Mike

[antantnz]

guys,

firstly, great stuff!! site looks awesome!!

only question i have, not out of any distrust for you, but out of a general awareness of only revealing what i have to on the web, is it really necessary to ask for 1st line of address, postcode etc ... especially with no privacy policy?!?!

just my personal views, but people are becoming more and more wary of this kind of stuff

[SYSOP]

Very good point actually, we'll see if Mikey can make all those fields optional, and yes we are going to have a privacy policy/terms in place asap. Good call antz.

[bl4ckmaN^]

Aaaah, what a project.

Looks much better than CB-Analytics, and seems like it got everything an affiliate/merchant would ever need

[JIMZ]

where do you want people to post problems?

I have just tried to search for Forex and then sort by gravity and got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function cleanvar() in /home/nichejun/public_html/search.php on line 4

Looks very interesting, I suspect the advertising prices are within reach of the big boys, not sure about us first time publishers though, we will see (when I eventually get my ass into gear!)

Good work fellas.

Thanks Jim, i'll get it fixed when I've posted this. EDIT : Fixed.

And yeah, the prices aren't in everyone's ranges - but think if a $1000 banner brought you 50 affiliates in the first week, chances are you'd be in profit by the second week. Not the mention the huge leap in gravity draws in more and gets the ball rolling.

Plus we offer cheaper and more creative/targeted advertisement opportunities than CB.

[lemonarian]

Added some stuff to my shortlist, however when I click "my shortlist" the page is taking FOREVER to load... other than that, AWESOME site!

[antantnz]

i do love the ability to have a list of all your promoted products!!

I made some changes, seems to have significantly sped things up Check and let me know.

Yeah it's great. If you find an hidden gems but don't have time to promote them for a few weeks you can save them so you don't forget them. It's great.

Also in the next version a publisher will be able to claim their products, so having products on your list will mean you get news and updates on it. So if commission ever changes or the product gets removed, for example, you'll be the first to know about it.

[lemonarian]

Awesome, it works now.

[mikey1090]

This has been announced at most of the major IM forums like DP. Some of you have already been linking to it and mentioning it to newbies and people who are unaware of it.

The more buzz we create about this the better. I'm really grateful to those like Steve who've managed to plug the link/brand name here and there.

[mill123]

hey mikey, could you change my login on there from mill132 to mill123?? not a huge fuss if you cant or dont really want to :P

I actually recommend the use of NicheJunky in the niche research part of Project One Hundred, which will hopefully be one of those huge launches

AND I COUNT ON YOU GUYS BACKING ME UP K?

Not really, but it'd be awesome to have some of you guys backing up this launch (in a couple months...)

You can count on me. I wonder what the other chapters will hide though

Speak to Norb or/and Ashley. Or me. I'm sure we can work out a banner or text link or two on the site. We'll see how it goes

[lemonarian]

Hey that'd be awesome, thanks

[willyboy104]

Niche Junky is soo good

Just a suggestion add the amount of time the product has been live as information available on the search part of the site.

[mikey1090]

We already show the date it became listed in the marketplace. Is that what you mean?

[willyboy104]

Yeah but so we can see it on the search instead of having to click view product information, it should be an option that we can rank products for like popularity and gravity is.

[mikey1090]

Thanks for the suggestion. It'll take some time to get it as a sorting feature, but I could get it in the results pages very quickly.

[mikey1090]

Seems we're going viral!! -
Review of the eSlumdog Product | Reality Bytes Of Business

[SYSOP]

I've actually been seeing our graphs from the products pages popping up all over the place. Going to see what I can dig up from the logs but I've seen it first hand on many blogs, warrior forum, dp, and a few others

[willyboy104]

I ll be writing a review of Niche Junky too soon on my blog so you should get quite a few users from there

Glad to see the empire growing.

[terryq9317]

Great stuff!

[willyboy104]

The log in page after you log in when it goes to redirect you has been really slow the past two to three days.

[ocmarketer]

Thank You for a Great Resource! -- Props and Kudos on a Job Well Done!

[willyboy104]

Just a suggestion it would be great if there was an option for selecting products with a certain gravity. Such as searching for products with a gravity of 20 or 50 or something.

Also, I will be reviewing Niche Junky on my blog sometime in the next couple of weeks and I have just added it to an article which will be published in a week or so too so hopefully a couple more users.

One more thing is there any sort of affiliate ID for NJ? I realise its not a sales product however I assume people that are using NJ may then decide to use Niche Choppers forum and I won't get the commission for it so perhaps incorporate some sort of tracking system for it....?

[mikey1090]

Me and Norb are joint affiliates when people click through to NC from NJ. That's how it will stay as we have no plans to change it. We do have options to make NJ paid for publishers and perhaps advanced features, for which would allow it to be listed in CB itself.

As for the gravity criteria in searching, I'm working on it. It slows down the searches by like half an hour lol which isn't practical, proving difficult but in the works anyway.

[inzpiration]

Hey Mikey! NicheJunky is a great resource, but I think the advertising rates are WAY to high, I mean a publisher could spend that amount on more effective ways to attract affiliates, there are many, like pay some affiliate blogging guru for a review post or pay someone with a huge list of affiliates to send an email, buy ads on high traffic IM forums, rent signatures, avatars, banners... ezine ads.. stuff like that.

[mikey1090]

We'll review our ad prices soon, although until you're aware of our traffic and reach I don't think it's possible to be comment on them.

[inzpiration]

Well maybe if you share your stats with your potential advertisers we could have an idea and share a more solid and funded opinion, that's what other sites do, provide traffic and reach stats. :P

[ocmarketer]

Anyone have any tips on how they use Niche Junky to hunt down hot products?

Thanks
