Honestly, I wanted to develop
BLAM Ads far before I wanted to create a traditional affiliate network. I was
one of the largest ZangoCash publishers during my heydays in SEO. I was
generating hundreds of thousands a month when they introduced their Zango
Gateway medium and I was one of the first publishers using their gateway. All
my time was spent figuring out new ways to monetize my sites, so I pioneered
the gateway and successfully added a huge stream of profit. Because I was so
successful with the gateway, I wanted to develop something similar but couldn’t
connect the dots because I was not yet connected enough in the industry.
Upon changing focus into
affiliate marketing and media buying display campaigns, it was pretty clear to
me that I needed to eventually make the step up. I wanted to do it the right
way and the only way to do that would be to continue building enough capital to
float the merchants directly. I saved all my business capital for years,
reinvesting it over and over into larger media buys. After connecting with a
long time friend in person at Affiliate Summit West, we decided it was time to
develop a partnership together. He was leaving a bad partnership and I was
prepared to leverage my reputation to gain affiliates. My business partner,
Harrison Gevirtz, is a prodigy and is well known throughout the merchant space
due to his early success. The partnership worked out perfectly and within a
couple months we opened EWA Network together. Since launching less than three
years ago, EWA Network has become a leading affiliate network – taking the
majority of affiliate market-share while maintaining our exclusivity.
