I’ve used many products for social media and rely on so many of them that I developed a page of resources. Many of the links included are affiliate links.- Because of the risk of turning my already engaged audience [you] off I try not to push hard. I use a whimsical approach and stay away from products that don’t relate to what I do. If you publish (push) quality, people like you will stay on my blog longer.
- Each product I refer I’ve either used myself or I have directly communicated with a trusted colleague who’s used or tested it.
- Grunt promotional work is done for me. Stuff such as banners, links and copy are easily available.
- You don’t need a product, you need to pick which product is best to promote.
- Affiliate clients bring more work to my business because it leverages my marketing efforts.
- Affiliate programs rely on merchants who seek you to work for them. Check out Shareasales merchant program here: http://mariasconsulting.com/recommend/shareasale-merchant/
You my fair reader are important, my credibility matters.
Coffee matters too but that’s more of a necessity. One recent affiliation you need to check out is this one aptly titled Coffee Shop Millionaire – wow http://mariasconsulting.com/recommend/coffee-shop-millionaire/ Chris Brogan, the well known speaker, social media innovator and all around nice guy approved me to provide links to his Blog Topics Master Class [deal ends September 14, 2012 so act fast!] http://mariasconsulting.com/recommend/blog-topics-master-class/Disclosure: My company, Maria Snyder Consulting may receive compensation from the companies whose products are presented on this page and site.
