(PRWEB) June 12, 2009 — Greg Hoffman Consulting, an internet marketing firm specializing in affiliate, paid search and online public relations management, has been hired by PLR Health Wizard to recruit and activate new affiliates into its existing affiliate program for private label rights health, wellness and fitness niche content.

PLR Health Wizard chose Greg Hoffman Consulting to manage its affiliate base because of his prior experience with large e-Commerce merchants and his newly acquired affiliate manager certification from Lurn, Inc. Gail Trahd, President of PLR Health Wizard, was looking for an experienced and knowledgeable affiliate program manager to tackle her program expansion for 2009. She chose to search in Lurn’s AC Certified “Who is Certified” database and found Hoffman, who earned his certificate in May 2009.

Trahd said, “I need someone who can motivate and energize my affiliates that have been part of my program for the last two years. I also need someone that has the connections and experience to recruit new affiliates into the program as we continuously add new health, wellness and fitness content. Our customers love our PLR content and our partners can benefit greatly by finding new and unique ways to market our products.”

Hoffman said, “I’m very happy my certification paid off so quickly and I’m looking forward to working with super affiliates and PLR affiliates. I’m positive we can find more super affiliates to pick up the program and target relevant customers in need of health and wellness content for newsletters, blogs and multi-media marketing communications.”

The PLR Health Wizard affiliate program uses Amember for its membership platform and starts affiliates at 40% recurring commission. Products range from $39.97 to $59.97. Trahd has generously set a lifetime cookie duration so affiliates can continually reap the benefits. Conversion has averaged near 4% since the program began nearly two years ago, she added.

Hoffman will be engaging affiliates by blog, phone, email, instant message and in-person at industry conventions throughout the next year. Hoffman will be working with affiliates on program-side training, helping them learn the PLR Health Wizard products and motivating them to perform at higher levels.

PLR Health Wizard is written and owned by Gail Trahd, a retired/former Nurse Practitioner. The health, wellness and fitness content provided can be used for ezines, newsletters, special reports, podcasts, and videos or inserted in private ebooks. Customers are also provided with illustrations to enhance the content as well as access to internet marketing tools to help them monetize the content.

Greg Hoffman Consulting is an internet marketing firm with extensive experience in affiliate program management, as well as paid search management and online public relations.

We have changed our name Lurn, Inc. That’s a fun way of spelling “learn”, where U come first!

You can check out our new website at http://www.Lurn.com

I’ve also pasted a copy of a press release we sent about the name change below.

How does this name change affect you?

Well, for the most part, everything will remain the same for our clients, affiliates, students and partners.

All of our product lines (including the Affiliate Classroom course) remain intact and running ahead at full steam!

You’ll continue being supported by the same great staff and you’ll continue to receive the same great training tools and information you’ve come to expect from us.

But, as the year goes on - you’ll see that we’ll be adding more support, more tools, more services and more training to help our students and our affiliates reach their personal and financial goals.

We’d love to hear what you think about the new name - please send me your comments!

Stay tuned for more news on all of the great things coming out of Lurn this year!

To your continued success,

Affiliate Classroom Changes Name to Lurn, Inc.

E-learning Content and Technology Provider Takes on a New Name to Encompass Expanded Offering and Vision

College Park, MD –March 5th, 2009 –
Affiliate Classroom, a leading publisher of educational tools for the interactive advertising industry, has changed its name to Lurn, Inc.

The change comes as the company embarks on plans to expand offerings and broaden its vision.

“We originally set out to provide training and best practices for affiliates. The name Affiliate
Classroom made perfect sense,” said founder and CEO Anik Singal. “But in late 2008 as our executive team developed our strategic vision for the next two years, we felt limited by the name. What we’re able to offer now is beyond simple how-to information for affiliates. Changing our name is strategically liberating.”

Along with new interactive marketing courses, in 2009 the company will add a comprehensive e-learning delivery and membership management platform to its offerings. This technology will offer third-parties the ability to launch and manage their own training
and membership-based coaching and consulting package.

The company will continue using the name “Affiliate Classroom” to brand its online affiliate training course. Affiliate Classroom is currently undergoing a content and technological revision and will be re-introduced to the market in mid-2009.

Singal added, “We’ve been getting a lot of compliments on the new name. We think that it highlights our fun personality, while staying true to our vision of empowering our students to reach their goals through technology and education.”
