    When I started getting guest posts on other sites was easy. Today I wouldn't recommend wasting your time trying to get guest posts. I would first work on building great content and content that has a unique angle and then shop around to the various news, and fellow bloggers to see if they have...

    AMA: Affiliate Marketing

    HOT! MARKETING 
    You are really asking a larger question. Is capitalism ethical?? I see this with lots of entrepreneurs and especially Millenials. I can say without question you need to figure this out in your head ASAP. Otherwise, IMHO you'll never be successful. You have mixed emotions and need this sorted...

    Yes Youtube can work and have a few friends that are popular on YouTube. Keep in mind though it's not as direct as a post and if anything I would create the same topic but on various mediums. ie. an article, and YouTube video, a podcast, etc... I'm not going to answer specific niches, that's...

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I don't "want" him to fail. There are things about Musk that are great as far as his ability to envision new things. Execution is where he sucks at and Tesla is a great example of this. Fact of the matter, Tesla isn't a profitable company nor likely will be a profitable company in the near...

    But he's not above the law. What he did was illegal and is perhaps one of the easiest examples of stock manipulation. If he does get away with it it's not because he's smarter than us but just favoritism.

    No in my case. Well the 3rd party systems use multiple methods for tracking the conversion. You are correct cookies are far from perfect, but they are ways around this to ensure conversions a tracked correctly. This is why I recommend server-to-server trackback tracking instead of the pixel...

    Oh the other biggest challenge with affiliate marketing is your brand becomes part of their sales funnel. Meaning if their landing page sucks and you get paid per CPA, then you'll won't make much money off of their service. It could be the best product in the world and perfect fit for your...

    Depends upon the vendor. Some were using 3rd party services, some inhouse, some relied on our service we were using (Clickmeter) to track conversions. The biggest issue IMHO is trackback for any conversions. With the hundreds of affiliates we were managing I wanted a central place to track all...

    Yes without question, but it does count against one thing MJ talks about is control. Understand you don't control the product and that affiliate revenue can be cut partially or completely at any time. The other lack of control is with SEO. Since you typically can't buy the vendors brand name...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    IMHO you aren't asking the right question. It depends upon the LTV (LifeTime Value) of this newly acquired customer. Let's say the LTV is $100 from other products/services you sell but this intro $20 is the lead into your sales funnel. Then you could give $20 per lead or even hell give $50 and...

    I'm not sure I understand the question. Meaning to get a vendor to start an affiliate program where none exists?? Can you give me a specific example?

    Yea I get the joke, but I'm not going to waste my time either. At a minimum, I would use affiliate marketing to supplement an existing business. No matter what business you are in there are products/services that complement your business but you don't have the time/expertise to do it yourself...

    No you can't do it with any niche. I purposely picked personal finance because I not only had an interest in it but also knew had high payouts. That's NOT saying you should start in a sector like personal finance for that reason only. There are only sectors as well like fitness/supplements...

    AMA: Affiliate Marketing

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I would say more so than previously. The reason is because traditional ad banners are becoming less and less effective and companies are looking for other ways to spend their ad dollar. Also because affiliate marketing is typically CPA and not CPC so the vendor only pays for what is converted...
