Social Numbers Bragging
People don't say stuff like this to others, because... well it's just plain mean. You may think you are just being honest but being honest and being mean are not mutually exclusive things. One can be both. Its like walking up to a girl and saying "I am not being mean but if you lost a hundred...- bruce bates

Social Numbers Bragging
Advice is a recommendation that will produce a desired future action or result. So aside from perhaps being judgemental, how is what you said advice by any means?- bruce bates

What qualities make for a good affiliate?
Just putting this out there then unsubscribing from this thread. Its not really a good decision to attach others innovations or their potential customers ESPECIALLY on forums where you want others to help you and join you in business and take notice to what you do. You're choices are your own...- bruce bates

Examples of sites that hide their affiliate gig well
Don't make it "look" like anything. If you want it to be an independent review site, make it an independent review site. Review things you get paid for as well as things you don't get paid for. Be honest in your reviews whether you are getting paid commissions or not. You could go the extra...- bruce bates

How do I find the right traffic??
After you know where your audience is, you will no what ad networks those sites are using to display ads to users, and thus you will have a good starting place. Usually looking at the ads being shown to users will clue you in as to what network is being used to display the ads, though this is...- bruce bates

Any good FREE Spy Tools or options??
I was a marketer long before I was a coder, but learning coding was the best decision I have ever made. This is exactly how it happened. A friend of mine in the cryptocurrency space wanted a traffic exchange platform built that was unlike anything else that existed. He had developer after...- bruce bates

How do I find the right traffic??
Let me give you a small view of how my brain operates. I will work with your survey offer and give you two options. First there are two types of survey programs in affiliate marketing. One is that you get paid when others take a survey. These are more rare but easier to market. Where are...- bruce bates

How do I find the right traffic??
Top sources DOES NOT imply best options. I have spoken on this in several posts but I believe most people in this industry do everything backwards. They find ad networks to run ads on and then try to fine to the ads and keywords to reach their target audience. Why do I think this is backwards...- bruce bates

Any good FREE Spy Tools or options??
Something I want to point out to everyone, yes having money to invest in yourself and your business will save you TONS of time, but it is NOT a requirement. Keep in mind every single thing you ever use online was created by someone before it was sold to the masses as a service or tool. If you...- bruce bates

Do you have a defining moment?
As I said in the post, there is no right answer. A person has to do what is right for them and what their skills will allow them to do. If you were a dentist for 30 years before coming into marketing and you have an audience to sell toothbrushes and toothpaste I am not going to be the guy that...- bruce bates

What qualities make for a good affiliate?
If you know this is true, the answer in my mind is clear as clear can be. You need to find a CMO. The thing you need to understand when you run an affiliate program, is it IS a product. The affiliate program itself is a product and the affiliates are your customers. If your time is best spent...- bruce bates

Do you have a defining moment?
A defining moment can for some be that first sale, for others its finding the right niche and products, and still others it can be as simple as a piece of advice. My defining moment was when a marketer much wiser than myself present me with a simple question to consider. His question would...- bruce bates

Best Affiliate Program for Woman- age:40 to 60- 50% mums- high earning adults
That can vary list by list and vary based on who you bought it from, the truthfulness of how they built the list and who its targeting. It also can make a difference in what the double opt in message actually says. There are countless variables to take into account In general I would expect...- bruce bates

Most auto-responders will allow you to import a list and then will send them a reverification link - thus turning your list into a double opt-in. However you will most likely lose a vast portion of the list who don't opt in.- bruce bates
