1) An Affiliate Marketer's Social Media Profit System

Social media is invading every corner of our lives. Did you know that the average Facebook user spent 6 hours 30 minutes on the site in April 2010, an average of 13 minutes a day? Over 54% of  all US Internet users now have a Facebook account.

On TV, businesses don't even bother to show their web address any more. Most just show their Facebook page URL. There is no escaping it! We twitter, we tweet, we friend, we like and we txt our way through every day.

But how do affiliate marketers make money from it?

Discover how you can start to pull money out of the social mediasphere and start to market to those millions of members.

3) My Week - It's Always About Traffic

I spent last weekend at a traffic conference and it reinforced what we all know. You can have the best offer and the best website but without traffic, you're the only one who's going to enjoy looking at it.

It was really interesting to sit in the crowd and see the different ways that the speakers approached traffic getting. There was the instant traffic, the long term plan, social media traffic, webinars and more.

I'm hoping to bring you some interviews and webinars with a couple of these speakers in the future.

One thing's for sure, there is no right way to get traffic just your way of doing it.

One thing I can tell you though, people who try to do them all go no where. It's like trying to get a car out of a mud puddle. You just sit there and spin your wheels.

It was very clear that each successful marketer, and many were affiliate marketers, chose one method of traffic building and perfected it BEFORE moving on to an additional method.

Anyway, have a profitable week!

I think that the need for disclosure depends on each distinct interaction.

I completely agree that internet marketers need to be responsible for their own ethical approach and should not place affiliate links in unrelated/non- contributory content when it comes to social media. as well as all other key bullet points on the end summary...

However, I do think that it is not necessary to disclose what you are doing as an affiliate in all cases:

Firstly, you are not levying an additional cost to the end user - the company whose affiliate program you joined (and who are aware that you may be promoting them in any number of ways within the boundaries of their program terms) is meeting this cost so I do not see an ethical issue here.

Secondly, I think that although social media is much closer to a friend relationship than many other forms of /traditional/web marketing it is still not a real friend relationship in most cases - if you have 1000's of Twitter followers can you class them all as friends?

Internet marketers can determine with each of the communications made what is ethically right and wrong and what should be disclosed - if it is a facebook message to your 20 best mates with an affiliate link then for me it would be wrong. If it is a link in twitter to 200 people that I have never had a 1 to 1 conversation (of any form) with then I would not consider it necessary to disclose an affiliate link.

An affiliate network can be a very profitable business for both the owner and the members of the network. Everybody wants to make money so they have a common goal towards they are reaching. That is good and Amazon has some nice offers for the members of its affiliate network.

A “How To...” headline grabs your prospect’s attention because it tells their brain they are about to learn something new that could benefit their lifestyle. The headline should get their attention and explain how to get their benefit faster, cheaper, easier, etc.
