This week I was lucky enough to give a webinar through Affiliate Summit entitled “Monetize Your Blogging Skills with Affiliate Marketing.” The intent of the webinar was to teach bloggers how they can easily move from blogging to affiliate marketing with a little bit of important information and some easy tools. It was not a basic seminar about what affiliate marketing is (see my Start Monetizing Your Blog video for that information). Rather, it was food for thought about disclosure statements as well as some helpful plugins and network information. [Read more…]
Start Monetizing Your Blog (Video)
Last year I was lucky enough to participate in a panel at Affiliate Summit West with two industry veterans, Kristin Kinsey (affiliate manager and owner of MadHatter Consulting) and Carolyn Tang Kmet (now the affiliate manager for Groupon), and moderated by Marty Fahncke. Our presentation was entitled Start Monetizing Your Blog Today and is a great primer for new affiliate marketers. A few things have changed (Carolyn got married!) but the basics of the presentation are still solid.
Carolyn started the presentation with an introduction about the basics of affiliate marketing, who the players are, and how it all works. I then discussed ways that bloggers can use affiliate marketing including banner and text links. Kristin finished up by explaining the role of affiliate managers and Outsourced Program Managers (OPMs).
Monetizing the Day Away
I’ve recently been talking to a number of bloggers who are having a hard time understanding the types of products that they can promote through affiliate marketing. Many of them associate affiliate marketing with either ebooks or diet pills. I decided to try a little experiment and see how many products I used in one day that I could easily blog about and include affiliate links. Some of these products I would just mention in passing in a blog post. Others could be an entire written or video review. I actually got tired of writing them down there were so many. Here’s are some of the highlights. [Read more…]
Affiliate Summit Indianapolis Meetup 09-28-11
The September Affiliate Summit Indianapolis Meetup was held at Claddagh Irish Pub and was a terrific success! This was a restart of the group from a few months ago after I got some feedback that people were interested in trying it again.
Erika Crabtree and Haley Drummond from One Click Ventures were our speakers and came armed with great information as well as led us in some Q&A about their business, affiliate marketing, and SEO. Some of their brands you might recognize include Affordable Scarves and Handbag Heaven (affiliate program available on Shareasale). Here were some of the highlights of their presentation:
My Affiliate Marketing Introduction for Newbies
I was recently fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to speak at the Business Strategy and Technology Forum in Indianapolis. It’s a great group of professionals in our community who come together for educational and networking purposes. I had 15 minutes to give my background, explain affiliate marketing, and relate to the audience how they could use affiliate marketing and related concepts like SEO and social media. A daunting task! It was followed by a Q&A period with the audience where I really got to connect with them and share.
