    Does anyone have a checklist for the process of implementing an affiliate program?

    To me, one of the key issues with running your own affiliate program is being able to provide your affiliates with up-to-date stats on all of the key metrics of your program (leads, sales, clients, prospects, downline, downline contact info, status level, etc...) If you are not good at writing...

    Recruiting New Affiliates

    I've used help-wanted ads in the online/internet marketing category. I do clearly state that the work is a commission position. Sites like Craigslist charge for help-wanted classified ads in some cities, but for the most part, the cost is $25 per ad, and the fee keeps out all of the...

If so, how much volume did you run through your email server, what email domain did you send from (as in gmail.com), and did you run into any issues with getting spam notices from your email provider?

    Why am i not making sales in affiliate marketing?

    Considering that affiliate marketing has been around for more than 20 years, getting started now and trying to generate traffic selling popular clickbank products is difficult. These products are popular for a reason - There are lots of people selling them! My advice is to find products that...

    driving traffic into clickbank offers

    When I hear Bing or SEO for driving traffic to an affiliate page, I cringe. You are not only competing for traffic against other affiliates for the same product, you are also competing against the product originator to sell their own product/service. You need to have content around the product...

    I wanted to publish and sell my first eBook. Need help

    Well, if you publish it for free, any revenue is "profit" :-) So, who are you competing against for selling weight loss guides? Clickbank has a ton of people selling weight loss information, and I betcha that a good amount of your content is already available for free online. I had this happen...

    I NEED HELP IN PROMOTING MY AFFILIATE SITE

    Honestly, your site does not appear to be ready for ecommerce. Hard to read, no real incentive to click on anything, and your "About Us" and "Contact Us" sections are totally messed up. You still have "example.com" as a contact domain. In this day and age, you can't compete with Amazon and...

    where to get traffic?

    Being in digital analytics, I have found that almost all clients lose money or have a very minimal ROI on their Facebook advertising (based on measured sales/profit directly from their ad). Typically, the money is made on overall lifetime value of the customer. The click to sale rate for most...

    List of bad advice from affiliate marketers

    I've found Amazon to be very tough, as the cookie has a very short lifespan, and many people don't purchase on their initial click to a product. I've also tried marketing using sites like Craigslist, but there are typically tons of ads there, and getting noticed has been a challenge. The best...
