Some Sound Advice Regarding Affiliate Marketing

As someone who lives on the internet, I run across many different websites throughout the day and night; once in awhile I run into “that site” which I must speak about. (and not in a good way :) ) To have a successful work from home business in affiliate marketing you must know your audience!

What do I mean by that? Well, if you are promoting something along the lines of costume jewlery; it stands to reason that your audience will be a younger more “hip” crowd. Therefore your writing style can reflect that, it can be much more casual and fun as opposed to serious and completely grammatically correct.

If I am visiting another work from home site or one which teaches affiliate marketing, I don’t want to feel as if it was written by someone who’s unable to articulate themselves in a professional manner. In other words, one can almost see their strong skills in “texting” carrying over to their work from home business. All credibility is instantly shot with me and it doesn’t matter what they are selling, I am moving on.

What I am getting at is you have to be comfortable writing and designing this website to reflect the targeted audience you will predominantly sell too. If you you plan on setting up an affiliate marketing site focusing on children’s toys, you can reflect a more fun personality. However, if you jump into weight loss because you feel it will make more money; then your site content should come across in a more serious manner.

Throwing together a work from home site is easy, constructing one that will make your audience want to buy from you requires a bit more thought.

If you have read the “about me” page you are well aware that I was a waitress and bartender at one point in my life. My specialty that set me apart was the ability to “mirror” my customers and be the server they wanted. Did they come to joke around and just have fun, or are they the ones looking for a dining experience that is more upscale and classy? I would play the role of either or; because my money depended on it.

Affiliate marketing or any work from home business is no different. You will work very hard to get the customers you receive, and you certainly don’t want them to walk out because you are offending them with how you come across in your site. I have said it before and I will say it again; A legitimate work from home business must be treated as you would any “brick and mortar” store. Surely you would want to make a great impression there, and so it should be on your website.

Much Success To You!

How An MCA Sale Is Tracked

I want to elaborate more on these “affiliate” links and how they are nothing more than a way to track commissions. NOT a format for someone like MCA to steal your personal information or Identity.

For this example we will use GoDaddy.com simply because everyone is familiar with this name, and if you visit their home page you will see a link that says affiliates. By clicking this link you can sign up as an “affiliate” right now and start getting paid to promote GoDaddy through a custom link which they provide to you. This is how they’re able to track exactly where this customer came from and then pay the appropriate commission. (or pay the “cost” for this “action“)

This is one of my links as it looks in my affiliate account manager; http://x.co/ZWWF. Clearly this makes no sense to anyone except GoDaddy. This jumbled up mess of letters is how they know “Pam Jones is who we owe this money too”, and that is all its used for.

Now with an entire section set-up for Affiliate’s on GoDaddy’s main webpage, do you really think they would allow me to see your credit card number when your making a purchase? Of course not! These companies are not idiots, it would be lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit!

I don’t see anything EVER regarding a person’s information when a sale is made through my link. This is no different with MCA (or TVC matrix), they only provide me a “unique link” which can then track my sales or commissions. These links are all merely redirected to that companies site but it then allows them (MCA club of America) the opportunity to track any new customers back to me.

Sometimes we just have to “keep things simple” or we can complicate the hell out a process that is really not all that hard. Just remember that every page (absolutely EVERY page) on the internet has it’s own address in the main address bar. It is like its own personal phone number, no two phone numbers are ever the same.

The concept behind affiliate links are exactly that, whether it is MCA, or Ez Money Method I am trying to get traffic to….that link they give me is the only one like it. I get credit for the sale simply because these companies can see it was “my link” that the new customer came through. :)

Much Success To You!
