Beginning marketers often start with affiliate marketing. It makes sense. You don’t need a product of your own, and you get to take advantage of the work an established business has done. And you don’t need to deliver products or handle customer service; something that can be a major headache. There are many businesses looking for affiliates to help them. One of the best is Clickbank.com: 1. It has many thousands of products in virtually any niche you can think of 2. Your affiliate commission is usually 50% or more, much better than the commission Amazon (the other giant affiliate... [...]

If you want to be successful in any business, it takes planning and it takes work. Luck isn’t much of a business plan. And mid-course corrections as you go along will also be needed. You won’t get everything right the first time around. You can always improve, and you need to. When you see what is working, do more of it. When you see what is not working, stop doing it. Alex Jeffreys took that advice. He invested the time to analyze 2 years worth of results from his successful online business, and not only his own, but the businesses of the students he had mentored. When he saw the data,... [...]

If you are like us, you get email from many people. When there’s a major product launch, we usually get 40 or more emails from affiliates who want us to buy from their affiliate link, so they can earn the commission. Once, when we were having a conversation with Russell Brunson, he commented that he had found that many buyers chose the affiliate they bought through based on the bonuses they offered. That makes sense. When you part with your money, you want to make sure you get the best return on that investment. Looking at this from the affiliate’s point of view, it makes sense to offer... [...]

Helen Southgate says, “We are all surrounded by importance of mobile use in today’s industry, it gets rammed down our throat at every opportunity! Cross-device tracking is an important and crucial development to enable us to better understand customer behaviour. This is particularly true when looking to assign a sale correctly to an affiliate in our channel and also to have the ability to view the value of a channel that works on a last-click-wins basis. But in its current state, I have some concerns about how reliable it is, how it will stand up to tighter privacy regulations and what... [...]

Someone who just lost a job may have heard that the Internet is an opportunity to earn living without going through a long retraining process that is often needed during a career change. If approached correctly, that’s true. The problem is that there are many “get rich quick” schemes and frauds that claim to show you how it’s done, but deliver nothing for all the time and money you many put into them. If you want to earn money online and to begin quickly, you need to create a legitimate business conducted on sound business principles and within ethical bounds. And it needs... [...]

Anthony Clements says, “The challenge of tracking cross-device transactions is a critical one for all digital marketers, but for a channel premised on paid for conversions, it takes on a heightened importance. Cross device tracking first came on the radar in 2011, when it became obvious that online users were regularly accessing links and content from publishers across more than one device. As mobile traffic across the network grew at a disproportionate rate to mobile sales, the industry had a new challenge to be tackle: how to identify and match those users that view publisher websites... [...]
