What Is Affiliate Marketing, and How Do I Use It?
What is affiliate marketing?
Of all performance-based marketing, affiliate marketing is one of the more affordable and complementary disciplines to influencer marketing. So how does it work? A brand pays someone a commission to promote their products through selected channels.
This person could be an individual consumer or an influencer (someone with significant followers). It’s important to note that while someone can be both an affiliate and an ambassador, these roles are not synonymous.
Affiliates operate on a digital-only level. They use specialized links shared on their platforms to earn a commission.
Ambassadors can operate either online or offline and usually have a deeper partnership with the brand in the form of a retainer. They don't always use specialized links, and their goal could be to build brand awareness or drive sales.
As a brand, there are multiple benefits to engaging in affiliate marketing. It's a great source of passive income and it mutually benefits both the brand and the affiliate.
Check out these Truelist stats from 2022:
More than 80% of brands have affiliate programs.
Almost 65% of affiliate marketers generate traffic by blogging.
Advertisers generate between 15% and 30% of all sales from affiliate programs.
Affiliate marketing makes up 16% of global eCommerce sales.
How affiliate and influencer marketing work together
Given that affiliate and influencer marketing both rely on individual partnerships and social media, they work best in conversation.
Affiliate marketing is undoubtedly a bottom-of-funnel discipline, as its main goal is to get folks to drive sales through their specialized links or codes. On the other hand, influencer marketing has been traditionally seen as a top-of-funnel discipline, or something that helps build brand awareness. Layering these two disciplines can give marketers a full-funnel digital/social media strategy.
That being said, the role of influencer marketing is quickly changing. A 6,000-respondent study found that approximately one third of shoppers turn to social media influencers to learn about products. This shift in consumer behavior has moved influencer marketing from top-of-funnel, to full-funnel and brought about the advent of social commerce. In short, influencers now have the power to build awareness for your brand, impact consumers’ evaluation of your product, and drive actual sales.
What this means is that influencer and affiliate marketing are even more closely related than before. They are no longer just complimentary — they’re integrated.
In fact, a lot of small brands dip their toes into paid influencer marketing campaigns with affiliates. Since these brands often have smaller budgets, traditional sponsored content isn't affordable. Affiliates, on the other hand, can cost less because their fee is covered by true sales and they have more incentive/obligation to post than the average influencer who receives gifted products.
Getting started with affiliate marketing
Now that you know what affiliate marketing is and how it complements influencer marketing, here are some tips for getting started:
Pick the right partners. If you’re just getting started, it might be best to start by signing some of your existing influencers and customers as affiliates. If you don’t have solid leads there, you can use social listening or influencer marketing tools to search to find people who have organically mentioned your brand. Tip: You can use Traackr's discovery and vetting tool to discover influencers already working as affiliates for other brands! Search past content for affiliate keywords like "affiliate," "my code," "specialized link," and "link in bio." Then view influencer performance metrics to make sure they're effective partners.
Use a performance-based compensation strategy. Avoid centering compensation around things like audience size, and instead base it on results-oriented metrics like engagement or sales. You could also use a cost per action (CPA) model, where affiliates get a commission each time a customer completes an action. The action could be clicking on a custom link or it could be purchasing a specific product.
Choose an affiliate network or influencer marketing software. This will help you use your time efficiently by automating certain processes. For example, Traackr’s social commerce/affiliate feature, helps you find and vet new partners, define attribution models and commission structures, calculate and send payments, track performance, and more.
Define your key performance indicators (KPIs). If you are combining influencer and affiliate marketing, you need to approach KPIs with a full-funnel mindset. While sales are the ultimate goal, there is also a product discovery and consideration aspect. Set yourself up to measure your campaigns from awareness, to consideration, to sales.

Fuck you and all your little brain washed rats sending people hate because you cant take responsibility for your actions!! But go on stay silent like you always do, pretend its nothing of your business, keep being a fetishizing racist delulu like you love to be while pretending to be the best blog on tumblr!!!
NOT like anyone will see this but YOU will so LET’S GOOO!!!~~
TW: mental health and more (if you feel like this can trigger you, pls don’t read this, breathe in and out and listen to this HERE and remember I love you), loads of tea and Mimi NOT being a friendly and kind ghost.
funny enough:
I never pretended of said I was the best blog. But I guess the fact that you say it might be because you heard it frequently? Thanks for thinking so^^
I sent hate to no one and u r the one sending it to me rn ^^ In my whole 4 year journey on Tumblr I received a lot of love but also worse hate that you can imagine. Yes you are saying now you are receiving hate ... funny how it’s bad when It’s addressed to you but when it’s at me and my dear followers it is not. Still, I never told anyone to go hate on you. You were the idiot that tagged my old blog and as soon as my blog was gone pple searched me and found out you were the reason behind this. But as you keep hating on me. Let me tell you I am kind but don’t mistake that for me being a coward.
I am not into insulting others and I don’t care much if you insult me. BUT don’t YOU DARE touch my dear followers. Insulting ain’t hard. Let me try: The only rat here is you hiding in your hole as an anon. I went and compared your writing with this ask and previous hate asks. And it was you~ Good for you~ the sewers smell just like your filthy mouth spilling sh*t left and right. So on brand. However, I know who you are @hobisbeautifulass Hi ^^
Me racist? HAHAHAHAH you truly know NOTHING about me nor my ex-blog’s message. It was a place when you were welcomed no matter your skin color, religion, gender ... proof? well it got deleted thanks to you. but ask around this time and search for who reblogged my posts as they were always the top of the tags (even if I don’t trust how bad you are at research). I supported the BLM movement and still do and will always do but I did so veeery early without anyone telling me. Not for the notes but because of my humanity. I wished my dear followers’ happy holidays no matter their religions. And never cared about those things. Why judge someone on something based on religion or how they were born. As for the LGBTQ+ community, I was always and will always be there for love being love. I talked about mental health and opened venting nights. I helped left and right and when I was receiving hate because of people like you spitting lies about me. What did I do? Did I go online and called people bad? No. I looked back at myself and asked myself if I did anything wrong. I tried to educate myself and apologized sincerely when I had to. I read books and watched documentaries to learn how to become a better human. AND never repeated a mistake twice. You tend to forget that our cultures are different and sometimes you grow up to see some things as normal when they are not. This is not an excuse tho, so I always believed that I was lacking and if someone had something to say against me, there is a chance they are right and just in case I should reflect on myself. But for your case it was pure nonsense. ME? a stalker? how can I stalk when I have social anxiety and at that time couldn’t even leave my room? I am even afraid of taking public transportations and just the other days I was crying from joy when I took a taxi alone. they said I was in Japan stalking Jimin and Jungkook and took a pic when I was NEVER EVER was on that land. You put me on the same list as people who bought info about BTS’ flights to be on the same plane as them? I was stalked before and let me tell you it ain’t cute and fun. I am even scared of the idea of being followed. that’s why I never shared openly my age, country, or anything about me on my blog. that’s why I have no personal social media to this day and that’s why making my ex-blog was some sort of miracle in my life.
Silent? yes I was silent when I received hate and didn’t even vent to my dear followers or pointed fingers. Why? because I thought as my day was hell I shouldn’t make anyone’s day worse. I was worried about my dear followers with mental illnesses being triggered. I tried to take my life so many times I lost count but I still came here and smiled. It was my safe place and you took it away. Yet, I should pity you? You hated on me first for no reason and you know it deep inside but right now you are trying to convince yourself that you are the angel and feel no guilt. Compared to you. I pointed fingers at no one and didn’t name you when my blog was gone. Why? because compared to you, I thought you will not be able to manage the hate and what was done .. I didn’t want you to suffer the same way I did when you are the one who made me suffer the most the past couple of days. But the kind Mimi is someone you will never remember because you dared touch the friends I love and calling them names. I don’t mind people insulting me but don’t you dare touch my people. I know myself best. My dear friends/followers know me best. I thought ... I could leave without this mess but you keep barking in my ask box and it’s annoying. I left this backup account just to talk to my friends and yet you are here to ruin things again? I should stop being kind to the ones who deserve non of it. I ignored you when I had so many followers and you went silent too because you were scared of me. But as soon as I lost my blog because of you, you went, edited and then reblogged that stalker post. How can I be a stalker? do you even know the definition of a stalker? do you even know shame? well .. I don’t think so.. you said it yourself. You are NOT ashamed (and you reblogged that so many time lol).
Death threats? this is no competition but thanks to people like you I have been there and wish no one to be there not even you. The only difference is that you almost killed me for real. You were not the sole reason? Great job walking away from you beloved word: RESPONSIBILITY. And I didn’t get just anon hate, I got literal tagging by people like you, DMs, and people pointing guns at me. That’s why I didn’t mention you. I was worried about the one who took away what I worked for for 4 YEARS. I was more sad and concerned about the ARMY fandom here. Do you know how many rely on my updates? do you know how many people said I helped them? do you know any of that? do you think 200k people were “rats”? Do you think if I did and say wrong thing I will not be questioned by those people. I always told my dear followers: “friends, if I do or say anything wrong or share anything that hurts anyone please tell me. I am willing to learn from everyone.” But what did you know? what did you do? Well .. guess you love notes? As the most notes you ever got and the most attention was when talking about me?
Love how you talk about fetishing when my blog was what people call “family friendly”. I also like BTS. I love them for their music, talent, personalities and the happiness they give me. I also enjoy BTS’ bond and love their interactions. I posted content of all kinds of interactions JM X JK, JK X V, V X JIN, JIN X SG, SG X JH, JH X RM, RM X JM ... If you are calling this fetishing asian men just because I scream over BTS as a fan and love their bonb. Then aren’t you against the idea of being an ARMY? I was a clear OT7 and you were told that you weren’t right:
Then you answered this without even explaining the nonsense about me:
idk .. I am trying to find sense in your nonsense so .. wait wait let me look at the definition of fetishism first.
Fetishism /ˈfɛtɪʃɪz(ə)m/ noun: a form of sexual behavior in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, activity, part of the body, etc.
Then .. judging from your URL alone hmmm ... cute. I won’t even talk about the SMUT you write that is full of kinks and fetishism. Well I have no problem with fan fiction but the irony you spit is out of this world.
Also, I made money out of mimibtsghost? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH no lil one. I worked day and night for FREE. At some point when BT21 just came out and there were no products on AMAZON or anywhere but S.Korea, someone reached out to me to offer 20% off or something for my dear followers. When they asked what I wanted I said what about international giveaways for my dear followers. Basically, made gifs, found content, updates, analysis, edits, and so on for free. Again, w-wait .. Aren’t you the one asking for commissions? Well .. It’s not wrong. But again THE irony.
So, I went to see that post you made about me with “PROOF” and it was just another person who was salty as I got them blocked I can’t even recall who they were but oh well. Their arguments according to YOU and many should be taken as FACTS just because they said them? You said HERE that your first comeback was MOST:7 that came in just last year (2020) SO what the hell do YOU know about what happened years before you came when all the proof you pointed at where baseless without any backing?
Let’s see this so wise person you used to delete my blog and what I have done ^^
The gifs: There is a story to this. The first week I came to Tumblr, It was my first time on this site and the first time I share anything. I shared some content and my analysis had a lot of notes for a small creator that started just a week ago. But I made a mistake, I found a gif and posted it while crediting the gif maker. At the time I had NO idea it was wrong. I logged off and after 5 hours I log in and there was a WAR for that ONE gif. The big blog had me blocked and her friend was telling me to take it off. As soon as the person told me I did IMMEDIATELY and apologized againa and again and told them to tell the original gif maker to deblock me as I want to apologize directly and that they can block me after that. They did and I apologized but they just kept insulting me. Of course it was MY mistake and that’s why I apologized. But for them. for a mere gif (yes I say a mere gif because I made so many gifs and they were used on all platforms but I never thought it was necessary to hate that much on someone like they did to me). That blog was big and had big blog mutuals. Thanks to that, I became someone you do NOT become mutuals with but block and never reblog content from. Without any big mutuals. Without any shoutouts. Only my love for BTS, my dear followers’ support and my hard work.. My blog, became bigger and FAST (I got 10k in less than 6 months after I started) and that brought loads of jealousy and thus more rumors. Even if, I apologized and since then made my own gifs. And I made SO many gifsets that I can’t remember how many there were. What I can recall is at some point I made them daily and many times a day.
Ships Jikook? I posted content of ALL the members interactions. I was here at a time where Jikook stans and Taekook stans where always fighting. BUT I posted about both and even made so many posts to encourage loving all the members and all the interactions. I also used the tags solely used for shipping with other big tags to show that BTS’ interactions are all important and their bond is beutiful. That our fandom shouldn’t hate on a member just because they are not part of a ship we like. And wait .. even if I shipped Jikook? I got called ALL those names by someone who ship the members with readers and write sexual scenes? Like, wait ... I am truly confused. Like, write fanfic and do all you want as long as you hurt no one I guess but why am I getting hurt for doing non of it? Like according to you, the person you should be cancelling is yourself?! I am also not into cancel culture like you so hahah whatever.
Posted stalker pics: well wow the story changes each time. Next thing you will hear that I was the one holding a camera for a member in a Vlive lol. Let me teach you about this update thing I was doing. I follow accounts I trust and that’s how we get info circulating fast. I always do reasearch but sometimes mistakes are made. For example when lately people shared pictures of BTS leaving their virtual concerts and schedules. There was a watermark of a news outlet. Normally we trust those but only later we realized that those people stalked BTS. You clearly can’t know it all. But I still didn’t share many pics related to many events (I will not name those as pple can search them even now because some pple never deleted those). And all big accounts shared many pics then deleted later. This happens all the time but it happened like ONCE for me. However, I am called a stalker for that?
When Jonghyun passed away ... I don’t even wanna recall that night as the memories just ... when that happened I posted about it and send my condolescences. that post had over 10k notes and was at the top the tag. Why did I do that? I was devastated. Yes, many were but I will talk about me rn: I was suicidal the days before that and one of the songs that I listened to when I was broken where by him. I has been in the kpop world since 2006. And learned about his group since their debut with ‘Replay’. I was never a stan but I still knew of many groups and listened to all the songs I liked. I was very sad when he was gone and ANGRY mostly. Why is this angel leaving? Why is someone like me still here? Why did I not leave instead of him? How much did he suffer? And in the midst I posted a post from twitter that stated how agencies usually put down pple with mental illiness and hide it in the industry. Yes, that was important but NOT at that time. I shouldn’t have posted that and I realized after 5 min of doing so that it was WRONG. So I deleted it FAST but it kept being reblogged and I kept getting hate and people telling me: “Go kill yourself”... the sad part is that I almost did as my answer was “true ... why am I still here?” I apologized and logged off then to this day won’t forget crying at 3 AM while walking outside next to my dad. I was outside as I couldn’t breathe anymore and the idea of seeing the walls of my room was hell. I cried and cried and the teary eyes that my father looked at me with are something I am ashamed of to this day. To add one more thing while I am spilling the beans. I hate learning about someone dying. My grandma passed away sometime before that and it was so shocking to me. and some people came and told me when I was mourning her: Go follow that bitch of grandmother of yours. And for what? At that moment I didn’t think I would live to see the next year but I went to therapy and took medecine that was hurting and made me shake all day just to turn somewhat sane. No one knew tho ... I smiled all day and cried all night.. Even on the blog I fought no one of the ones who hated me. I just blocked them but even that was an insult to them?
Again, you said no one should defend me. Yet, you were ready to fight whoever touched anyone around you. What about changing your URL to beautifulassirony
Also THE hypocrisy. If you are sorry then why are you answering an ask of someone isulting someone you want to apologize to? Just make a post wher you apologize or ignore it from the start?
One more thing but surely not the last. You said you were good with research which you are NOT. So, let me show you what an OG detective ARMY can do. But first, as I was scrolling I saw some of your “work” (let’s not even talk about those gifs) and I am just giving my point of view here: I hate how you painted Namjoon as this horny-idiotic-make-dog. Like I get it it’s a fanfic or Namjoon as a dad but ... Namjoon is such a smart man who is very respectful and ofc he is a human with needs like many but what the hell is this way of portraying a character? Also a character is not cool, amazing, and a strong woman just because they curse and belittle their partner.
Oh well, only you kept reblogging that as it show 36 reblogs when only 33 as still there when I looked and out of those 13 reblogs are yours? (you might have reblogged it more) but again some people might have liked ... people have different taste ... so ... whatever.
Let’s continue, shall we ^^. You said you were the victim here when I was the one getting robbed right? How can I believe someone who reblogged the post below and was proud calling themselves an abomination or how the Oxford dictionary defines it: a thing that causes disgust or loathing. For once you weren’t wrong.
What can you expect from someone who has the “I am not like others” kinda mentality while stating relatable things that everyone goes through?
This is getting pretty long. So to sum this up. You are now telling others that hate is NOt ok and that they should be ashamed of themselves when you yourself is not ashamed of hating on me?
I am not the type that sends anon hate. I might ignore some barking but the past days you came and bite me hard. I face the ones I have to face without fear. I know I am not the bad guy here and I don’t care much what you think about me. Even BTS got haters. This says a lot. BUT do NOT dare talk badely of my dear friends/followers. You said you do research well? Start by deleting the post below that was originally by ME from your blog ... oh how meticulous you are. From your baseless receipts to your twisted logic. Indeed people on the internet can say anything and it will be FACTS. You painted me as the devil and painted yourself as this researcher? What’s next you receiving a Phd in ‘pity me’ after your MBA in lies and irony? Whatever~
Whaaatever~ Karma will have upcoming talks with you. No need for you to apologize. I never cared about you and you only got attention using me. But I am not here anymore how will you get that blog running now? Are you gonna add me in a fanfic next? No need for you to send me my appearance fee when you do so~ And no need for you to apologize to me just apologize to you conscience if you have any left. As for me @hobisbeautifulass you are just someone I will forget soon anyway~~
And because according to what you said HERE when you described the things you hate about people and I thought that was VERY close to how you treated me. Thus, you might really not stand yourself rn.
Do.Not.Worry. BTS are starting the Love Myself campaign again and just in time for you to jump in (you are good at jumping to conclusions about me so I won’t worry about you). I know you don’t like me or my friends but be sure to love yourself at least ^^
You are a Hobi stan? Then learn from Hobi to share some sunshine not bring the storm. Have a good day~
#Anonymous#hobisbeautifulass#don't mind the typos as I wrote this in one go#just because I am someone who do not punch back when someone hit me do not mean I will stand nicely when you touch my people#anyway~ bye~#mimibtsghost

Hi!! Wanted to try for a ship slot if they're still open!! I go by she/her and I'm looking for a male ship, preferably one of the clones, but anyone prequels works!!
I'm 20 (okay w spice!) and tiny!! Very Smol!! Only 5'2 and that's reaching?? Personality-wise I'm usually very shy until I get to know who I'm with!! Mainly due to being autistic and hyper-aware of awkwardness ;-;. BUT. Once I know someone I'm extremely talkative and love to get to ramble about things or listen to my friends ramble!! I'm very creative (going to art school to become a concept artist), and love to make things with or for my friends (and I also draw clones a lot. My art blog is,,, so full). I'm known for being very logical, but with zip-zero common sense, so can come off odd?? I'm also mostly oblivious to things going on around me unless explicitly told, especially when I comes to romantic advances. Additionally, I'm passionate about helping others how I can! I'm an optimist with a dose of realism. I want the world to be a better place, but also know it'll take work to get there!! OH. And with friends, count on me to be the (healthy) hype man or the therapist friend!!
On more stuff about me, I'm not only tiny, but curvy! A good hugger and just enough squish to make it even better? Sometimes get self conscious but generally okay w myself!! Also I LOVE pink as of late. Got really into dressing more feminine over quarantine, due to issues I had (VERY blonde + called condescending a lot = fear of being seen as dumb or the Mean Bitch if I wore that stuff :P ). I'm also HUGE into my Rusyn (group near russia/ukraine) heritage, but also learning Mando'a and Mandalorian culture!!
AS FOR WHO TO SHIP YOU WITH. GOOD QUESTION. Admittedly because of your pfp I'd say Paz?? But also?? For some reason?? I feel like you'd also go great with Appo from the 501st!!
Thank you again for running this and for opening these slots. I love your writing and I can't wait to see what your make, even if it's not mine!! <3
First off I want to say that I am completely shocked that you of all people follow me here on tumblr! I absolutely LOVE your art and how you draw the clones and just everything you draw in general! I have followed you on Intsagram for a little while now and your art never fails to put a smile on my face! And I hope that in the future when I have the money and your commissions are open that I can get some of your art to call my own!
Now, for your ship, I debated back and forth for a minute but I think you’d be good with Commander Wolffe!
Okay, so hear me out on this one. The way I see it is tough macho man with soft cute girl who softens his heart kind of ship. When he first meets you Wolffe thinks you are cute but he never imagines that he is going to fall for you, but he does, and hard. As the two of you spend more time together for one reason or another and you start moving past your shy exterior and become more comfortable and talkative around Wolffe he finds that he actually likes when you fill the silence that he usually likes to keep, and even finds himself joining in on conversations with you, something he rarely does with anyone past Boost, Sinker, or General Plo. Wolffe likes your logical side and will often ask your opinion on things that he just needs a little more input on, and to be honest he thinks your lack of common sense is kind of cute. Wolffe once caught you sitting down with one of his men just letting them unload on you as you listened to their issues and problems and that's when he knew he was absolutely screwed when it came to you, even though he would never really do anything about it, that is without a push. And that push comes in the form of Dad of the year, General Plo Koon, who pulls Wolffe into a meeting because he has been watching Wolffe dance around his feelings for far too long. He gives Woffle a small bouquet of flowers and tells him to ask you on a walk or something small for a date, and Wolffe finally buckles and does just that. Once the two of you are together opens up to you even more and even talks to you about how traumatic it was for him to lose his eye. Wolffe absolutely adores your art and one day he shyly shows up at your home when he is on leave with different paints and asks, while refusing to make eye contact, if you would like to add a small design to his chest plate so that a part of you could be with him where ever he goes.
Paz is always a good answer pfp or not, I just love him and want more canon content with him lol
And Appo!!! I love this ship! It is one I definitely haven’t gotten before, but I will take it! Appo needs more recognition and love!
Request a Ship (6/20)

Being in the blogging business for around 8 years now I came to learn a lot. Let’s hear from the old bitter blogger about the difference between being an ambassador and being a customer. When you’re investing more than you’re gaining from the collaboration it’s not really a collaboration you’re looking for.
There is a new trend going around social media, especially Instagram. I’ve been getting collaboration offers on a daily basis even pre COVID times but now the amount of pseudo collaborations increased.
Hands down it is an incredible business strategy from the business point of view.
Everyone wants to be an ambassador.
Ambassador became an even more prestigious title than an influencer. Influencer posses some sort of responsibility for their actions whilst ambassador is just being paid for simply being.
Who wouldn’t want that?
Many brands use this knowledge to the fullest and offers these pseudo collaborations.
So what is a pseudo collaboration?
Well, it starts off by being contacted by a brand.
You’ll receive a ctrl+c ctrl+v message from a brand-name-scout. The message contains several cute emojis and addresses you as a gorgeous, pretty, cutie, love, honey, sweety, and if they really want to get you, even by your Instagram name.
It’s usually followed by a bunch of compliments about your fashion style, vibe, Instagram, or whatever. Then there is a lie about following or just generally noticing you for a while without ever seeing your insta story, like any of your posts, or even actually following you.
Now it’s time for an offer beneficial for you.
Usually, it’s free products, a way to earn a commission, or just the sheer option to be able to call yourself an ambassador. Every single brand out there offers a “support” like anyone really knows what’s that supposed to mean. I had several ones even offering me a travel trips, but never elaborated on it after my further questioning.
Now comes the hook with a “do you want to learn more?” question.
If you think I’m exaggeration for the story and I can’t be generalizing all of the collaborations offers into a simple standard form I wish you were right. Here are some of the screenshots of my current Instagram DMs:
You might think: “What’s wrong with that? They’re trying so don’t be mean. Just ignore them.” let me remind you how dumb Instagram algorithm is.
If your account is followed by bots, messaged by bots, liked by bots Instagram assumes you’re one of them or you got hacked by them. Sweet of them for trying to protect you thought, but holy hell did that made everything super complicated for me.
I got several messages from the brand scouts messaging me again because their previous account got deleted.
No shit Sherlock, it’s like you can’t keep creating accounts, following and messaging a bunch of people at once and ask for money anymore.
So now every time my account gets suspicious activity such as too many likes/follows/messages Instagram suspects my account got hacked. Each time they require I change my password and let me tell you I ran out of password ideas months ago.
That’s not the worst part though.
After each time I change my password I’m blocked for 7 days from liking, following, or adding tags to my posts and that sucks. Just to get a better picture of this issue I’m blocked approximately once sometimes twice per month.
The block comes hand in hand with a shadowban that lingers for god knows how long, meaning Instagram is not gonna support you in any way. That’s why I have around 40 likes on a posts with 47K followers most of which are bots anyway.
I loath Instagram app yet I spend hours a day on the hellish site and I’m not only one.
We spend so much time on Instagram anyway so when a chance to earn money form it comes along you’re tempted to take it. Brands know that.
Imagine you’re a small-town girl with around 400 followers on Instagram. You already feel pretty popular right?
Now imagine you get the messages I shared above but you get just one. Someone out there thinks you’re so popular they want you on their team, you are just like the big influencers, you get job offers for being an Instagram star. You’re the next Kardashian.
You can have all of the things they said to you BUT you need to do something for them first. You have to pay for it.
And here is the catch with all of the pseudo collaborations.
What they don’t say to you in their first message is what it’s gonna cost you.
Many offers you free stuff but you need to pay for the one-time shipping. Some brands offer you a unique discount of around 40-60% off so you’ll pay just a part of the price and you can call yourself an ambassador.
I don’t know about you, but I thought that was called the customer. You buy a product, you wear it and occasionally you take photo of it on your social media sites. The new term is an ambassador apparently.
I get why so many people agree to this kind of collaboration. It’s new for you. It makes you feel good and successful in your friend’s and families eyes. And there is that hopefully undertone of making money from it.
Aren’t the brands unprofitable when they give away discounts and free stuff?
In a theory, yes, but there is one thing all of the brands that messaged me had in common except for the audacity.
Overpriced products.
I got messaged by jewelry stores, fashion stores and gym equipment stores most of the time. I took the time and did my research on every one of them.
When a store sold jewelry, they had the same products as the rest of the jewelry stores I got contacted by. A small variety of around 8 products most of them sold out anyway. And let’s not forget the ridiculously high prices. You can’t charge a cheap Chinese necklace you can get on amazon or aliexpress for under a 1$ for 40$.
So even if you’re paying just around 30$ for your ambassador order they are still making a profit on your wannabe Instagramer need cuz they purchased said items for far less.
Well, I’m being a little miss know it all right?
How can I talk about pseudo collaboration like this when it’s all based on assumptions. Well you know me, I’m curious as hell and I actually went through 3 pseudo collaborations myself just to prove a point.
I literally spend money so I can tell you about it right now so here is how my 3 pseudo collaborations went like.
All of the ones I choose were jewelry based pseudo collaborations. With the corona times, post offices are overwhelmed with parcels. I ordered big parcels in recent times and they arrived with around a month delay. I figured smaller jewelry in an envelope form would be quicker to arrive and I was right.
Pseudo collaboration number one VONACHI:
A simple yet luxurious-looking website with very few decent pieces of jewelry, offered me 3 free pieces to take a photo in and promote. I would also get a 60% discount code and every time my code would be used I would receive 30% of the money amount. Incredibly overpriced amount in the first place.
Here is the list of all of the benefits they offered.
The scout that approached me was very eager. They kept insisting I place my order right away. No time to waste.
To make it clear I got a simple code to apply in a check out that subtracted the price and I got the pieces for free. All I had to do was pay a 20$ shipping fee what seems like nothing but for 3 small necklaces, it is way too much.
Another thing that was odd was that I was required to take a screenshot of my order and send it back to scout. I guess to prove I was legit.
After bunch of further compliments and claims how excited they are to be working with me we ended our conversation.
If you think I was being reckless to give my credit card and home address to such a questionable site don’t be.
Honestly, I trust zero people, sometimes I don’t even trust myself. I used a card I have no to very little money on and I got it shipped to a work address.
My parcel from china arrived in around a month and a half. I got one black box with one necklace and the other 2 necklaces were in small plastic bags. I received a note about welcoming me to the program and asking me to contact vonachi’s official Instagram account for setting up my discount code and that’s exactly what I did. The official page responded after longer time period with just a “this is your code” message. I took a photo, tagged vonachi as a business partner, and shared my code. I did my part and I was never contacted by them again.
My 60% code is VONAMBNAT and as you might have guessed no one used it so far.
Or at least no one told me it was used. If someone were to use my code I would be contacted by vonachi and here is the problem. I’m supposed to trust them with their credibility cuz there is no other way for me to check it for myself. This is what it’s missing from the old Time collaborations of mine. I would get a tracking code, an account login, graphs, statistics, and one on one communication with a brand in my previous collaborations. But you know Golden times for influencers are long gone.
Now I’m left to just simply trust them.
Why would they ever confess someone used my code? If a customer gets 60% off and I’m getting 30% from already discounted item there is just a very little left for vonachi. They don’t say anything and get to keep my 30% share.
They didn’t put much effort into tracking system cuz they are not expecting their ambassadors/customers to make any sales anyway.
The products were not that bad. They came in a bit rusty and tangled but I was excepting much worse.
Hell, I was not expecting them to legitimately arrive.
Pseudo collaboration number 2: ENGELSINN
I initiated this pseudo collaboration myself. Engelsinn paid a significant amount of money to Instagram promoted post and that’s where I found out they are looking for ambassadors.
I filled out an application form.
This one felt more legit cuz they actually asked for followers count and all of the communication occurred via email. Automated emails but still it reminded me of good old days.
I was given a 40% discount code to use on my first order. The shipping was free but it still cost me another 20$ to get the product. Since placing my first order I got a 20% discount code “nat7x20” for my followers to get 20% off their engelsinn order.
When my code is redeemed 2 times I get one jewelry of my choice for free.
Do I even need to mention that I didn’t get any email since?
Well, that’s not exactly true I got 2 more emails each with another discount code I could use for 24 hours and buy more of their stuff. But none about redeemed code.
Engelsinn is a german based brand and living so close I got my parcel in around a week. I got myself a rose gold knot bracelet and I feel like a hypocrite but I actually really love this one and wear it every day. I know I wouldn’t get it if it wasn’t for the research but I’m glad I did.
Btw the ad about engelsinn looking for ambassador is still up there and it still says they have only a few places left. It’s been 2 months.
Pseudo collaboration number 3: CUZETTE
I got messaged by them on my Instagram and their offer was super confusing. They promised it all. 3 free stuff now, free stuff every month, paid trip to several destinations, and even 50$ voucher. The scout called me sweety exactly 9 times during our conversations. It was super annoying.
So I choose another 3 free items and paid another 20$ for shipping. When I asked about the 50$ voucher I was told I would need to refer 5 friends who would also become cuzette ambassador or delegate as they named it, to get the 50$. No info about the travel trips though.
I was told to contact the official page for more info but it took days for them to finally reply with nothing new just more compliments and excitement about the future. It’s been 2 months and I still haven’t received my order just as I was expecting.
Later on, I endorsed in conversation with several other brands asking for more info, looking for something different than standard copy and paste form. Unsuccessful.
Every time I asked how many ambassadors they have in their program the answer was always “around 3000“. Once again, you have 3000 customers and not 3000 ambassadors. If the only people who buy from you are people you ask to buy from you, you’re doing something wrong.
But your business plan is on point.
When I asked about who and where makes their products I was either met with a silence or a sweet talk about a responsible brand.
These brands are providing people with content. You get to take photos of the items you ordered and you get to be as creative as you want. In these COVID times so many brands had to cancel or postpone their collaborations with bloggers or Instagrammers. I saw huge travel/luxurious instagramers switch form hotel and travel collaborations to promoting kitchen wipes. Times are tough and you got to do what you got to do.
Yet these small businesses with hight prices are thriving?
You know it’s not about the product but about the potential.
Profiting on greediness.
So smart.
To prove my point even further I got to confess one more thing. I mentioned before that I manage Instagram accounts for different brands and among them is one fashion store. I was not only at the ambassadors’ side but on the scouting side as well.
All I had to do was search for people who looked like they would be willing to become an ambassador for our store and had decent amount of followers. I had saved message form and all I did was try to guess peoples names so the message seemed more personal. Once they agreed to a discussion I let my boss take the lead.
So yeah, try to really think about the offers you get.
Look at it from all points of view and ask yourself if it’s profitable for anyone else but the brand.
If you want to have offers pouring your way try adding #ad #spon #collab to your next Instagram posts. That’s how they look for their next ambassador.
Everyone wants to be an ambassador.
Pseudo Collaborations- Everyone wants to be an Ambassador Being in the blogging business for around 8 years now I came to learn a lot. Let's hear from the old bitter blogger about the difference between being an ambassador and being a customer.

I figured out what I want to do with my life! And made a vision board!
It came to me in a flash, really. One minute, I was watching a handpainted narration of the life and death of one of the greatest painters of all time, and next thing you know, I've abandoned it completely and started furiously typing away at my laptop about what I envisioned myself to be in five years' time. And I know I've had my fair share of false alarms in life: I thought I had what it takes to be a lawyer after seeing Legally Blonde for the first time while on my way to a school field trip, and seriously considered pursuing a career as a fashion blogger or MTV VJ because I was kind of fed up with school.
But this one just makes sense. Advising and assisting clients in producing content, collaterals, and campaigns according to their business objectives and based on collected data! It marries my love for writing, my knack for snooping around (the academic term is research!), and the specialty in technology and management my university ensures I'll have at the end of my four-year degree. i have yet to see how it’ll allow me to give back to society since that’s also a factor I want to consider in looking for a dream job but I’ll make it work. I found it hard to sleep that night, thanks to this nerdy, giddy kind of adrenaline rush I had. I broke down this big idea into smaller and smaller action steps until all I had left was a refined list of ideas and intentions, and a splitting headache.
I needed to make sure I was constantly reminded of their existence so all my choices and decisions would serve as a step closer to reaching all of them. So I caved in to the wishes of the "law of attraction" side of the Internet, and created my very own vision board! Simply put, this act of visualization is a powerful technique that can be used to manifest desires and reach goals. Our subconscious minds mainly recognize symbols and images: by merely looking at our vision boards everyday, subliminal messages are being sent to our brains, which will encourage them to work tirelessly to achieve the statements we are feeding to them. I can't find any explanation for this that's less abstract but since many people seem to swear on it and I have a lot of free time and printer ink, I figured why not, right?
It was convenient that I had this small corkboard from Daiso already stuck to one corner of my bedroom wall with several layers of double-sided tape. It used to be a year-long calendar of birthdays but I realized that I've never referred to it and often have to rely on either Facebook reminders or stock knowledge--there is no in between. All I had to do was to look at my list of goals, and compile photos that correspond to each of them, cut them up and arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing manner. You'll see below that I lacked the stereotypical luxury car and beachfront mansion with a walk-in closet and that's because I decided to focus on my goals for the next five years so it looks even a little bit more achievable.
Here's the finished product, along with explanations for each picture, to make this how-to more personal and to also hold myself accountable.
Make my girl Jenna Rink and everybody at Poise proud by writing for a magazine | I had listed a specific one at the time, and if you follow me on Twitter and Instagram, you already know what it is and how this endeavor turned out - but on this blog, I'll shroud it in a little cloud of mystery for now and talk about it more in a future post. I'm very happy producing content for this space of mine and have no intention of stopping any time soon. But at the same time I know that I'd be missing out if I didn't take the chance to be part of a community that leads me to like-minded individuals, allows me to grow even more in my craft, and "gives creators a space to speak their minds and push the limits of their artistry, without imposing any restrictions or expectations", as I stated in my application form.
Be active in three organizations next school year | (I had to blur one of them out because I'm not a member yet and I don't want to jinx it.) I know it's bold of me to assume that we'll be returning to school any time soon, but if we are ever lucky enough, I want to outdo myself when it comes to the orgs I'm a part of. I have been a good follower throughout my first two years of college but now I believe it's my time to try my hand at leading a group of people and being more involved in the conceptualization and execution of projects.
Go on a trip to Europe | Not even just a specific group of countries anymore (I used to be a France, Italy, Spain supremacist)--I mean the entire continent! (But then again, with its rich history and culture, picturesque tourist spots, diverse cuisines... even the sheer adrenaline rush that comes with being in a land completely different from the one you come from, how could anyone not want to go?
and 12. Get the job of my dreams | I actually nicked these photos from the website of a cooperative I want to work for once I graduate from college. I know that I can't plan out the rest of my career trajectory as early as now: things are bound to change at some point, but I hope that I stay in a field that combines creativity and business strategy to craft campaigns, create meaningful content, and market solutions to brands.
Expand my network | I acknowledge how knowing people who know people who know people can open windows of opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to have anywhere else. But I also look forward to building genuine connections with people from all sorts of industries. Talking to the same circle of friends can sometimes feel like you're trapped in an echo chamber: there is certainly much to learn from others' viewpoints.
Volunteer to teach kids | I don't think the written word could have changed my life as much as it did, had it not been for the presence of English teachers who believed in the power of the language to shape the minds of the youth. I guess this is just me trying to give back and help the next generation express their ideas and bring them to life by channeling my inner John Keating.
Maintain a clean workspace that is conducive to productivity | Especially during these days, I spend a solid 18 out of 24 hours sat at my desk, trying my best to make magic happen. It's very important that I keep it a constant and active source of inspiration, free from any distractions, and at the right level of comfort. Although it's not as minimalist as I hoped it would be and my table is about an inch too high for my liking, I'm still pretty satisfied!
Document memories consistently, be it through a physical or online journal | Speaking of clearing out my room, I recently found around 20 notebooks I had filled up over the years. Though maintaining them must have been such a hassle especially as I got older and reading through them was a distraction from completing the task at hand, I am thankful I painstakingly chronicled everything going on in my life and kept them in good condition. Seeing the goals I had set for myself all those years ago and how I achieved most of them without making a conscious effort has inspired me to do my older self a favor by putting in the work now so she can reap the rewards. (While I'm on this note, can anyone recommend a good app for journaling? I keep all my current entries in my Mac's Notes app because even though I am more of an analog person, I seemed to have lost the patience and persistence required to keep a physical journal. But at the same time, I'm scared of my laptop suddenly cr*shing and wiping out everything I had stored)
Stay focused on my work always | I didn't know how to show this without having to spell it out in words so I Photoshopped my face onto the head of a woman working in a cafe because those who study in coffee shops along Katip always look like they're getting stuff done.
Keep learning about the world even when I'm outside of the classroom | And this is not limited to frequenting the nearby museum, although that does sound like a great idea right now. This could also mean attending seminars, workshops, and talks, buying books and binge-watching documentaries or YouTube videos about a topic that I find interesting, engaging in discourse with someone (plus points if they have a different viewpoint!)
Write my own book | Before I even found out that humans were destined to pick a career and work until they died, I already knew that I wanted to spend my days as a writer. Specifically, I wanted to see my name on the cover of a book: By Angel Martinez. (Please refer to the 4:32 of this video and look at how far this dream actually goes back.) But once I realized that I wanted to enter the world of business, I thought I would have to give this up altogether. Thankfully, I now know that one's ability to get published is not reliant on their career--I mean, even beauty gurus get book deals these days. I'm not really sure what it's going to be about but I'd honestly be down for anything: even if it's just a compilation of my best entries on this blog.
13. Go all out when I take myself on self-care dates | I'm talking about picnics at the beach, with a basket full of fruits, a posh looking hat, and a good piece of classic literature! Or fancy dinners for one complete with as many glasses of red wine as I can down! People watching at Downtown Disneyland like my paternal grandmother in hand, with a plastic bag of souvenirs on one hand and a cream cheese pretzel on the other! (The possibilities are endless and I'm already mapping most of them out.)
14. Be financially stable enough to re-enact that one scene in Pretty Woman where Vivian Ward struts down the streets of Beverly Hills in a chic white dress and black hat, an endless number of shopping bags in tow | The part where I humiliate a sales lady who snubbed me the day before because she didn't think I could afford what she was selling by saying, "You work on commission, right? That's right. Big mistake, big, huge." is entirely optional.
I also included some two inspirational sayings that were originally laptop wallpapers from The Everygirl. I feel like they perfectly sum up the attitude I want to have as I forge my own path and accomplish everything I have set out for myself. If I was somehow able to convince you that this activity serves as the perfect springboard for all your dreams and aspirations, here are a couple of tips that could hopefully help you make yours!
Be ready for some intense introspection | Though it may look like a simple arts and crafts activity at the surface, making an effective vision board simply cannot be achieved if you're not willing to do some much needed reflection and watch it balloon into a full-on existential crisis. Identify which areas of your life are most important to you and how you would like to see them evolve over a period of time.
Specificity is key | The trick is to make your goals as concrete as possible, then translate them into visual elements. I know some people who wanted to get into particular universities, who have Photoshopped their names onto acceptance letters and pinned those to their corkboards. As stupid as that may sound in retrospect, I reckon it's an elaborate way of claiming something that's right within your reach.
Design it any way you want | Don't feel pressured to make it look like it's worthy to be on someone else's Pinterest because that's exactly how you lose sight of why you're doing it in the first place. The only person your final output has to resonate with is you.
Don't get discouraged | Although a vision board can attract positive energy and manifest your intentions to the universe, one thing it isn't capable of doing is granting your wishes in an instant. Don't be upset if what you have cut out and stuck on has yet to happen: I truly believe in the saying that the more you look for something, the more it seems to avoid you. Instead, continue to work hard and focus on the progress that you have already made.
Have you made a vision board of your own already? How has it turned out, and how many of the things you had put up have come true? I know you may be a complete stranger from the other side of the world but I'd be happy to hear from you anyway! Wishing you love and light always, especially during trying times such as this. Wash your hands, pray for our frontliners, and check your privilege!

The Authority Hacker Review
The Internet has great diversity. There are lots of people and organizations who are selling just about anything online. And there are lots of training courses, books, conferences, and other networking opportunities available.
If you are a novice curious to discover the multifaceted nature of online marketing and want to teach yourself how to sell and market online by building an authority website, you may at some point have heard of a professional training program called Authority Hacker, which according to many professionals is amongst the few regularly updated courses delivering truly actionable tips and strategies to take your online venture to the next level.
Though little-known outside the online marketing community, online marketing is a $110 billion business. The key to online marketing is affiliate marketing and a myriad of other techniques, which involve connecting to potential customers, building trust and reputation, generating a lead, and then sale. Affiliate marketing involves businesses promising a customer or marketer or blogger some sort of reward if he or she brings in a lead or sale. A marketer may try to earn commissions by convincing their website visitor to buy new eyeglasses from Amazon, for example.
This kind of marketing works well if there’s a significant pool of people looking for the product or service, and it works poorly if very few people are interested, or there’s no pool to speak of.
In practice, either scenario means the typical affiliate earns more than many third-party marketers: higher prices paid to affiliates through their website (in the form of affiliate commissions) is a standard mechanism for driving sales to businesses. However, the question is, why would someone make a purchasing decision reading your content – that is your product review, or listicle, or just any form of content?
The answer is because people, especially those in your industry, trust you and considers you as an authority.
How do you build this trust? That’s exactly what you get to learn in the Authority Hacker course.
In-depth Authority Hacker Review
There is no dearth of online money-making courses that promise you the moon. They promise to make you a millionaire overnight, but as you must be aware by now, no such thing exists. Online gurus that promise such riches often make most of their money by selling these courses to beginners who don’t know any better. However, it does not mean that you can’t make money online. There are hundreds of thousands of individuals who have achieved success by working hard, and by following a system that is designed to help them achieve long-term success.
One such system that has worked wonders for hundreds of online entrepreneurs is the Authority Hacker system. In this Authority Hacker review, you will get to know who is behind this system, why the system works for people, and the pros and cons of the system along with some other important points.
What is Authority Hacker Pro?
Authority Hacker Pro is a digital marketing and authority website creation video training course from well-known digital marketers Gael Breton and Mark Webster. Authority Hacker Pro does not just teach you how to break the rules of digital marketing. It teaches you how to break through them to reach your target audience, build trust, take your online aspiration to the tipping point, and generate revenue online.
The course has been designed to give you detailed guidance on how to properly utilize many professional marketing tools and provide you with the knowledge needed to take on any online project you’ve ever dreamed is possible! If your skills have ever been questioned, this is the course for you featuring much powerful online marketing method and detailed training program that is built upon the core principals of effective communication, the power of your persuasive writing, and the ability to keep your audience on-board, engaged and satisfied.
Having personally gone through this mind-boggling, in-depth, and truly actionable course with over 370 videos unevenly distributed among many modules, I have learned three crucial components of creating a successful online business that is driven by mistakes, honesty, and trust. I encourage people from all walks of life to take this course and do the same and experience a transformative journey of personal growth, business intelligence, and self-discipline.
1. Build Trust by Producing Real Content.
If you’re serious about breaking the rules, you need to earn credibility and trust by sharing real work with real customers. That doesn’t mean you need to bash your own company or a personal blog, but you need to give your work an honest frame so that everyone can see the process, errors, and all. That’s the only way it can be an authority in your niche.
2. Be Blunt About Making Mistakes.
There are lots of rules about how to do things in digital marketing — although there’s no clear rule about what constitutes a technical or design mistake — and lots of rules about how to deal with mistakes and feedback. Being straightforward about making them, including admitting that your solution is inferior to the alternatives, is key to successfully adapting to the ever-changing digital marketing landscape.
3. Build User Trust by Being Honest
Getting customers to trust you will take a lot of effort, and some of it involves giving people real feedback and giving them new tools and techniques. Having to acknowledge mistakes will keep you honest and inform you about what you need to fix.
A lot of this can be figured out through trial and error, and experience that mirrors what you’re doing. But if you’re serious about building an authority website that is in just helpful to many people in your niche, but is also profitable, you will have to embark
on the long road to making trust and confidence the foundation upon which you build a successful business.
Who Is Authority Hacker Pro For?
Authority Hacker is meant for individuals wanting to succeed online through digital marketing. The nuts and bolts of digital marketing are like any other part of marketing: it depends on knowledge of and expertise in developing target markets, research and trends, and marketing tools (including marketing automation). As well, it depends on having and showing reliable metrics that demonstrate a return on investment.
Authority Hacker educates you about these factors along with many other intricacies involved in digital marketing through 350+ detailed video tutorials, blueprints, and done for your templates.
It’s crucial to understand that there are many detrimental factors that combine to provide the measurable returns on digital marketing — the ways in which the media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, drive users to or from websites that they might otherwise not visit. The ways in which marketing capabilities are combined with SEO and the ways in which content is delivered to audiences from different demographics segments.
So even when marketers know that digital marketing is often not easy and demands continuous efforts from your end just to stay afloat, why is it so popular among digital nomads?
The attraction of digital marketing is not just it gets you more opportunities to reach your targeted audience across the globe, but the fact that it can be done easily, especially when you have access to necessary tools and proper guidance makes it a lucrative career option.
Overall, Authority Hacker Pro is meant to give you the opportunity to build a personal authority in the field of your interest, which can then translate into more sales opportunities, better customer retention, and more revenue.
Who Is Behind It?
This system has been created by Mark Webster & Gael Breton. They introduce this course in 2014 in order to teach others how to build a sincere online business by building an authority website based on your interest or passion.
Before publishing this course, the founders operated their own Internet marketing agency that supported a lot of well-known brands on inbound marketing. They had a successful digital marketing agency, but they were not happy with their life, and they started building their own websites. They struggled but achieved success by building a system to turn their website into an authority site. In fact, it is still so successful that it attracts more than half a million visitors each month.
They have successfully replicated this process many times over, and the Authority Hacker system is nothing but a step-by-step breakdown of the process they have followed to achieve success on their own.
The core of their program is The Authority Site System. They teach others how to create authority sites by following a step-by-step process.
How Does It Work?
One thing that separates The Authority Site System from several other online money making programs is that the creators understand the problems faced by passionate online entrepreneurs. They do not recommend creating a website around a hot idea or something that is not the passion or interest of creators. They recommend building an authority site that is woven around a specific problem or passion of the website owner.
This leads to the creation of content that is highly valuable and resonates with visitors. They teach about a variety of monetization options, including making money by selling ads, making money by affiliate marketing, and selling your own products or services.
They have turned all this knowledge into a step-by-step system on how to lay down the foundation and grow an authority site in your chosen niche or passion and turn it into a profitable online business.
Features
Here’s a list of some of the most useful features of this program:
Video Lessons
While every online money-making course these days features video lessons, the video lessons in this course are different from the others. For starters, they are more hands-on. As an online business owner and learner, you will engage with real-life cases in which you will make decisions and make mistakes while being challenged to develop and execute the right strategy based on what you see. In doing so, you will utilize the guidance provided in this course and tools online to create an online business model in the most efficient way and strategically build your way to be an authority in your niche.
Authority Hacker gives you an over the shoulder view of their system. They do not just read from the slides. You get to see real-life websites, real-life systems, and how they overcome common roadblocks faced by webmasters.
They make real demonstrations, and you get to see the real effort. Also, the videos are continuously updated, which means you will never get stale information, which is often the most common problem faced by students buying online courses.
This is a great place to start if you want to improve your business, build more money, and learn how to attract customers.
Templates
You get access to templates that are designed to help you learn how to quickly apply for the course. Although these templates will help you start on the right track, they aren’t designed to be a complete solution. Depending on your market and business objectives, you’ll need to make specific changes to the template.
It’s crucial to remember that these templates give you an idea of the kind of content that should be published on a website in order to get organic traffic from Google and other search engines. The templates are designed with the best marketing practices in mind that work in the long run.
Access to Real-Life Case Studies
It’s very rare that online course creators share real-life success stories, either of their own or of their students. This is what makes the Authority Hacker different. You get an insight into the mindset of successful marketers and how they approach the daily tasks of content generation, advertising, design, and management, and the end-users.
This authority hacker module’s content is based on the author’s personal experience, and that of the people and brands he encountered through his journey. The course also integrates the real-world expertise from several of the top online marketing experts to provide an easy to follow series that can be applied to your daily fight to stay relevant.
They share information about their real-life success stories. They share actual sites, the traffic numbers of those websites, the process behind building those websites, keyword research, content creation, and a lot of other things.
This course combines the real-world insights provided by experts with the proven techniques used to make real-life business and marketing success. In other words, you get to learn how others have achieved success by following their system, and that is something you don’t really get with many of the other online courses.
To-Do List
Building authority websites isn’t easy. It takes guts, and your willingness to invest the time and money into those websites, to build a following, to grow your reputation and drive sales. It can be one of the most dangerous and rewarding endeavors. For this reason, people go to great lengths to create the right impression and give their audience something they’ve never imagined.
However, you will want to work smarter than harder, and for that, you need a foolproof, step-by-step blueprint to achieve success with an authority site and to do everything you can to avoid the pitfalls that exist. To accomplish your goals, you need to make the right decisions about how, where, and when to present your content on each and every channel you choose to use, and with the Authority Hacker course, you will learn exactly how to accomplish this goal.
This to-do list module will give you a full project management system to organize all the aspects of your website building project. In short, it helps you remain organized when building your authority website.
Community
One of the biggest advantages of Authority Hacker is the active user community on Facebook in their private Facebook group. As a marketer, you will get to learn from some influential and important marketer who shares your passion and wants to help you with your project.

The Modules
The Authority Site System gives you access to a total of 5 in-depth modules. You get to learn everything right from niche selection to keyword research to content creation to backlink building and other important things required for building an authority website.
Here Is What Is Covered in These Modules:
Selection of Niche
Professional Internet marketers and entrepreneurs argue that niche marketing is a proven way to gain the attention of customers in rapidly changing markets. They make the counterintuitive point that picking the market you don’t understand – actually, a much worse choice – can make it even easier to move people in your direction.
If you want to attract customers, you first have to try to understand your new target market. It’s best to pick a market you understand and up to predict what products, services or types of services are poised to succeed. Then, you implement any one or most of digital marketing techniques to promote those products and services via various marketing channels to generate revenue. And that’s exactly what you get to learn in this Authority Hacker module.
In this module, you get to learn how to choose a successful niche. Niche selection is the very foundation of the authority website system. If the foundation is weak or you choose the wrong niche, you will end up wasting a lot of time and money. So, pay special attention to this module to learn how to choose a niche that is likely to be successful for you.
Setting up the Site
You are setting up an authority website. In this module, you get to know how to set up your website to ensure it is technically right. The knowledge that you get in this module will make your site better performing, with better usability as well. One of the key components of any successful marketing Endeavor is to have competent website design to ensure its easily accessible via any device and is easy to navigate. Moreover, you will also need to gather essential statistics related to how your visitors are interacting with your content for which you will need to install analytical extensions.
This module delivers exactly that! It teaches you about buying the right domain name, how to set up WordPress, the type of plugins you should install on your website, how to set up pages, and add Google Analytics as well as other such things. In other words, you do not need to worry about any of the technical aspects of setting up a website, and you get to know how to handle your website to ensure it is functioning as it should be.
Creation of Content
Ostensibly, content marketing is about putting all the right words in all the right places, to help people find your company, product, or service. And it is often effective, especially when optimized with standard SEO practices. But what is really behind the term?
First, it doesn’t sound new — content has been around forever. But there is a lesson here. Think of TV, radio, and print — not as pieces of art (which they are) but as tools for communicating information.
Second, content marketing isn’t easy but also not impossible! Content marketing needs a catchy headline because people usually don’t research companies or look for their answers by reading Wikipedia entries and reads on CIO. Instead, they Google themselves, or whatever, and start asking questions, nearest business, listicles, and then going through the process of figuring out the answers by clicking on the titles that look most appealing.
Content marketing has the power to improve your reputation with the same people who might never consider buying from you in the first place. And that’s exactly what you are trying to achieve.
In this module, you will learn how to create content for building an authority website. The major difference between an authority website and other websites is the quality of content. On an authority website, you’ll find a lot of high-quality content that covers every topic in detail from all sides. However, this isn’t really possible without having a system in place, and this is where this model shine.
It teaches you how to go about creating high-quality content that is likely to attract users as well as search engines. Further, in this model, they also discuss keyword research. You get to know how to do keyword research based on the niche you have selected. You also get to learn how to outsource content production.
Keyword research, in essence, is a data-driven process of finding user intent, questionaries, and search volume of any specific term in a specific geographic location. Keyword research is definitely a complicated process, and though using many premia and even free tools you can cut down on manual work, it still requires a keen understanding of knowing the steps to evaluate the competition of any specific search term, associated keywords as well as creating a detailed plan so that your website ranks for that term in the shortest time possible.
Authority Hacker goes deep into this topic and gets you the necessary knowledge to build up your own keyword research strategy so you can help your business succeed faster and remain afloat in the ever-changing dynamics of digital marketing.
Link Building
In this module, you get to learn how to build a white hat and authority links to your website. They share a lot of white hat techniques that have worked for a lot of other members of the system.
Link building is an effective way to prove your website’s authority to Google and other major search engines. Link building is unarguably a complicated process that involves detailed planning, research, content creation, optimization, and, most importantly, promotion. Google, which accounts for 65% of global online search delivering over a billion search a day, is well-positioned to determine the laws of SEO, especially when businesses and marketers like you want to tap into the vast opportunity to gain exposure for free. Unfortunately, the path to success on Google, which essentially means ranking on the first page among the top three search results, is more than often challenging, if not impossible. There are many factors that go into determining whether your website or any specific page will ever be able to rank on Google.
One of the key factors is the backlink quality of your website, which is determined by how many niches related, higher authority; websites are linking back to your website. It’s not something that can be achieved in a year or two and requires continuous effort from your end to prove to the community that the content you are regularly publishing on your website can be trusted and is indeed well researched. Only when you have sufficient exposure and reputation, you will be able to gain organic backlinks and thus see a massive positive impact on organic search traffic. However, there are other ways too, but Google considers them natural, but are still many marketers, including some prominent websites are using these strategies to prove their authority in a specific market to Google and other search engines.
Authority Hacker helps you understand the entire process in detail and also provides you with blueprints that, when implemented properly, can definitely help you gain higher authority backlinks without much struggle.

Cory Chisha Saputo Don't Worry About Lead Generation Any Longer - Read This
Cory Chisha Saputo Qualified tips provider. Being good in business usually means that you understand what it takes to attract the right customer who will eventually buy from you. The best way you can get new consumers would be through generating quality leads. Any random lead is not going work; you have to use those that turn potential customers into those who pay. The following article will explain everything you need to know about lead generation.
Build your presence on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the most business-friendly social media channel out there. People use linked in to network and even broker new deals. It's the perfect place to create lead generation opportunities for you and your company. Invest in a Premium membership as it will allow you to see everyone who has viewed your profile.
Cory Chisha Saputo Expert tips provider. Look to affiliate marketing to generate leads and even customers. Why do all the work for leads when you can have others do it for you on commission? Affiliate programs are a very effective way of introducing your product to new audiences. In fact, you'll see a lot of content created around your product or service. That's very effective.
Invite potential customers to actually opt into joining your community on your website. You'd be amazed at how many website browsers will make the decision to provide their email. Make sure, though, that you've got relevant content to share with them afterwards. Think about developing a newsletter or a series of tips emails.
Reward your current loyal customers for providing you leads. One way that many companies do this is by offering their current customers referral rewards. These rewards run from future discounts to actual cash back. This can be a lot cheaper in the long run than any form of traditional advertising.
Always seek validation of lead information. Verifying real-time information for a lead is important. If you take the time to make sure that you have a good phone number, zip code and/or email, you can ensure that the lead you have is strong. Not doing so can waste a lot of your time.
Respect people's requests when it comes to privacy and opting out. Ensure that those leads you are generating haven't opted out of receiving offers. It's a waste to communicate with those not likely to buy. And you've got to be careful about communication with anyone who did not opt in. There are privacy laws around it.
Can you teach locals about what you do? For example, if you are part of a multi-level marketing campaign, you could run a free class teaching people how to sell the product or even letting them know about how they can do the same thing you are doing in building your downline.
Look at your competitors to see what tactics they use to generate leads. You don't need to reinvent the wheel when you are going to market. Oftentimes, your competitors have already done the hard work for you. If you see them using certain tactics heavily, there's a good chance they are doing so because it works.
Cory Chisha Saputo Top service provider. Try to find local groups that help with lead generation. These groups are generally made up of business owners who offer leads to one another. This can generate you a lot of quality leads. Also, you may hear someone talk about how their tooth aches and refer them to the dentist.
When using Twitter, most people think about growing followers and using hash tags. Sure, but also consider searching for keywords related to your products so that you can find people talking about buying things related to your products. Finding posts of interest can help you generate new leads within your niche.
Create a local reciprocal referral database for yourself and other local businesses. You can set it up on Google Documents and ask people you know to join it. If you know someone who needs dental work you can refer them to a dentist on the list and, if he knows someone who needs you he'll, do the same.
There are many frustrated people that can't figure out how social media sites can be their best lead generation tool. While it's all-inclusive and goes in many directions, understand the main goal of social media is to help people. Secondly, think about the fact that you're communicating with potential customers in a much more relaxed and unique fashion. Now it's time to get creative!
Cory Chisha Saputo Expert tips provider. Test out new avenues before you go in whole hog. You don't want to end up investing a lot of time and money and yet get nothing in return. Run a test of each new strategy you have and carefully monitor your results, then jump in when the testing reveals success.
Stay on top of the lead generation game by producing high quality content for people to interact with. Those new to Internet marketing usually have the most trouble generating leads, but when they learn that content is king, they are making the right step. Producing content that teaches consumers about new things is a good way to generate more leads.
Gathering leads from your website needs traffic. Traffic building is what any site needs, but even more so if your site is also set to generate leads. Make sure that you target traffic for your products and services, but also take the time to push traffic for your lead generation as well.
A lot can be done with a small budget. The main thing is that you need to focus on your goals. You also need to make sure you use your planned strategy. Once those items are in place, then you can measure the results to figure out where your effort needs to be implemented.
Don't overlook the importance of low-cost advertising to help generate new leads for your business. You can start to build up the interest of buyers by placing ads on blogs and popular websites. Make sure your ads have a great call-to-action in order to generate the interest of more buyers.
Cory Chisha Saputo Most excellent service provider. Now that you are done with this article, you know how important it is to generate leads. The lead really is only quality if it is something you can work with. You don't want to find yourself throwing money away on leads that don't pan out.

Wealthy Affiliate Review – Don’t Try It Until You Read This!
There are many ways to build an online business. Numerous programs, too, that help people get started on their internet entrepreneurship. Wealthy Affiliate is one of them and among the most popular. It has been around for more than a decade now and still attracting thousands of people who wish to become online marketers. Most probably, you landed here because you wanted to know more about the platform; how it operates and if becoming a member is worth your time and money.
If that’s so, you’re in the right place. Reason? This post is a comprehensive Wealthy Affiliate review- and one that’s written from an honest viewpoint. By the end of the read, you will have learned about what Wealthy affiliate offers, how to join, the good and the bad about them, and so on. In short, everything Wealthy Affiliate. Let’s start by understanding what the program entails.
What Is Wealthy Affiliate?
It’s an online platform that trains people on how to become affiliate marketers. It’s also a business community where successful marketing gurus answer the questions of beginners. Meaning that apart from the training, members also get the opportunity to seek the help of experienced marketers. That’s in addition to being provided with tools that are necessary in the online marketing industry such as website creation, keyword research, website hosting, and more.
Wealthy Affiliate was founded in 2005 by two buddies, Kyle and Carson, and it aimed to help bu
dding internet entrepreneurs create and run online businesses successfully. What they did was come up with training materials and a website through which to offer the training. The site has so far helped thousands of ambitious people from all over the world realize their dreams, with current statistics showing membership of more than 1 million individuals.
Before we delve into what Wealthy Affiliate offers, it’s good that we talk about affiliate marketing; what it provides and the prospects if you decide to invest your time and money in the business model. That’s for the benefit of those who are new to this favorite way to earn money on the internet but which requires adequate knowledge and skills for one to succeed.
So, what’s Affiliate Marketing?
In basic terms, it’s a type of business where you earn money through using the internet to promote other people’s products- whether physical or virtual. You do that by creating a website on which to advertise the products, enrolling to become an affiliate marketer, and using various means to bring buyers to your site. You then get paid a commission for every sale that’s made. The more the sales that originate from your website, the more the amount that you make.
Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective ways to get money using online ways. Done right, it has the potential to earn you unlimited amounts of cash. It can even become your single source of income, enough to make you leave your day job. Many internet entrepreneurs are involved in it and already earning handsomely. The most successful earn 7-figure incomes doing nothing much than writing content that advertises a particular product or products.
To become an affiliate marketer, some skills are essential. You need to know how to set up a website, promote it for traffic, and so on. That’s where Wealthy Affiliate membership comes in- to equip you with the knowledge to start a successful affiliate marketing venture. If you’re into online marketing, you already know the amount of work involved and how you need someone to hold your hand for you to succeed. My personal experience in the industry has taught me many things;
First, I came to realize that patience is paramount. I also found out that you need to keep up to date with what’s happening in the industry so you can easily and quickly adapt to any changes that come up. Determination and hard work are also essential. Fainthearted marketers rarely make it, and instead, are likely to give up midway.
Maybe you’ve wondered why many of the people who enroll for Wealthy Affiliate membership succeed in their online marketing ventures. Also, why most Wealthy Affiliate reviews tend to be favorable. I believe the secret to be the training offered there. It encompasses all the requirements I’ve described above and much more, which brings us to the next part of this review.
What’s Offered at Wealthy Affiliate?
As we have already seen, Wealthy Affiliate is both a training center and an online community. They also provide you with the resources to set up your online business In a nutshell, the platform uses a consolidated approach to help people get into the world of online marketing (great news if you’re not experienced in the field of internet businesses) How have the founders managed to do that? On sign up, you’re trained on how to get started and given the necessary website building tools to take your first site off the ground.
Because everything happens there on the platform, you never have to look for any services from outside. Domain registration, hosting keyword research or even site monitoring tools are all offered. Website security is also provided. Website backup, too, and a lot of other necessary resources. The features you get access to depend on the membership plan you opt for, though, as we shall see later. However, even the most basic or free plan is enough to get you going, especially if you’re a newbie and testing the waters before committing fully.
Of all the affiliate marketing sites I have come across, I should say that few- if any- come close to offering what Wealthy Affiliate does. I mean, how many trainers can help you to start a business by providing the resources and tools you need and supporting you throughout the journey. A majority of them will only offer the basic training then leave you to your own devices. Besides, few can do that for free.
Let me give you a glimpse of what happens with many internet marketing training programs. Most don’t follow up on you let alone help you create the first website. What then happens is a struggle to find a footing by setting up a blog on your own and, in most cases, not doing it right. You end up with a poorly performing website that gets no meaningful traffic. The result? Your affiliate marketing business ends there. A sad situation, especially if you had paid for the training.
That doesn’t happen with Wealthy Affiliate. It’s a different training center altogether and one that’s built on a strong foundation of a business-like and professional approach to the whole idea of affiliate marketing. I find their way of doing things unique and useful in every way to help you succeed. They don’t leave your side until you’ve set the ball rolling and created your online presence. In what ways does it ensure that, you may ask? They use several means, and which I’ve described here.
1. An In-depth Training in Affiliate Marketing
I should say the training offered at Wealthy Affiliate is one of the most detailed you will ever find. The many years the company has been in the business (since 2005) should have given them enough experience to produce a program that covers all marketing aspects. It’s should be no wonder then that many of the Wealthy Affiliate reviews on the internet are mostly positive.
The training consists of text as well as video. These are added continually creating one of the most extensive databases of training content on internet marketing. As a member, you get access to the videos and text depending on the plan you’ve chosen. Either way, the training resources are crafted to help you start out. And if you’re already an experienced marketer, help you refine your marketing strategies to become even more successful. The first or beginner lessons (and which are essential if you’re just starting out) include the following:
A total of 120 lessons that cover more than twelve courses. The educational scope of the lessons touch on
• The basics of internet marketing
• How to set up a functional website
• How to research keywords and write relevant content based on them
• SEO to rank your site high in the results of different search engines
• How to incorporate infographics into your website
• How to set up ads
• The ways to improve conversions through referrals
• The essentials of social media advertising
• Creating useful and relevant content for your affiliate marketing site
… And much more.
What’s good about the content of Wealth Affiliate training is that it’s always updated to reflect market changes. That means you will not be subjected to old marketing tricks or strategies that may not work in today’s internet situation. Additionally, the material caters for both beginner and intermediate marketers. However, there are the advanced training materials and content that you can only access when using the paid for plan.
How do You go About Training on Wealthy Affiliate?
The training is progression-based. The interface allows you to finish one module before proceeding to the next, which help you to keep track of your progress as well as provide for orderly training. The individual lessons are composed of text and video. Text forms the biggest part of the content with videos being incorporated only when they’re a necessity.
The length of text in each lesson varies from 200 to 2000 word depending on the scope of the topic. If you’re not used to reading lengthy content and prefer watching videos instead, you may find some of the lessons overwhelming. But they come in different lengths, and you need not worry about that too much.
2. Help With Creating a Website
Website building is another of the many offers that members of Wealthy Affiliate are entitled to. For most people, setting up a website to become an affiliate marketer is one of the things that stand between them and success. It isn’t an easy task to create one from scratch- what with the domain name to purchase, the hosting to pay for, and so on. With Wealthy Affiliate, you do not need to worry about all that. The platform offers you an easy way to do that and you get your site up within a few minutes.
They use SiteRubix, a platform they own that helps members create a website or websites without having to seek any of the services to do so from other companies. This is the procedure that gets you a fully functional site within no time at Wealthy Affiliate.
• Find the menu to create a website
• Choose and enter the name of your website( you will be asked to either use an existing one or register one there and then)
• Enter its URL
• Choose a theme from among the many offered. A theme determines what your website will look like and you can choose the one that goes well with your product’s niche. Wealthy Affiliate uses the free WordPress layouts which means you have access to more than 3000 of them.
• Hit the “create Website” button, and that’s it- your website will be up and running with no time. Wealthy Affiliate does all the hard work to set it up which can be quite helpful if you’re a newbie.
• As soon as the platform has completed building your website, you’re provided with a username and the password to log in.
Once you’ve completed the steps to own a site, the next one is writing content and posting it there. You can also change its look to match your preference. The good thing about it is that you do not need to know any coding, and neither do you need previous experience regarding the design of websites. The niceties of Wealthy Affiliate don’t end there. Among the other benefits of setting up a website through the platform include the following.
• Domain Registration- you won’t need to buy a domain name to start your site, the platform offers that.
At the cost of 14 dollars for the registration, Wealthy Affiliate happens to be cheaper than what most domain registrars ask for. Besides that, the process is pretty easy and fast, which means a better experience if you have no prior knowledge about it. What’s more, you get free domain email to use with your website.
• Hosting- they host your website. You do not need to go scouring the internet for a company that offers the service, and which can be overwhelming if you’re a beginner. The hosting they provide comes with many great features. It’s secure, steady and fast; you get SSL certificates at no cost to you, spam blocker to protect you from hackers, and more. The platform’s hosting also offers a fast connection that improves user experience and search engine ranking.
• Technical Support- opening up a site is one thing and operating it another. You’re likely to run into different problems along the way that may require an expert to sort out. As long as your site is hosted at Wealthy Affiliate, you’re sure to get help for the problems that spring up. There’s the support team and the forum of affiliate marketers to help one another. Some of these features are not available on the free plan, though, and you may need to upgrade to access them or everything you need without any limitations.
3. Website Management Tools
A successful online presence involves many things, among them using various tools to secure, monitor, and promote your website. As I said before, Wealthy Affiliate aims to provide you with everything you need to become a marketer without you having to seek outside help, and you can be sure that you won’t lack anything that you require to make money from your affiliate marketing business. Among the tools provided include:
A keyword tool- it generates keywords for you so you can create relevant marketing content. With the free plan, the number of keywords available is limited to 30 while the paid plan offers unlimited keyword generation. Other useful features of the platform’s keyword tool are the valuable statistics it produces that give you a hint of how difficult or easy it will likely be to find a place in Google searches.
Site ranking tool- with this one, you get a glimpse of where you rank for certain keywords and across the different search engines. The tool can be a useful way to tell if your efforts are bearing any fruits and give you an idea of what changes you need to make. Wealthy affiliate provides the ranking tool free of charge and trains you on how to use it in your site or sites.
Affiliate tool- as an affiliate marketer, possession of this tool is highly essential. It provides for a way to scour the websites that run affiliate programs to find offers that suit your interests and preferences.
4. A Great Internet Community
This feature is only available in the premium plan of the program and designed to offer a way for members to interact among themselves. Through it, you get access to an awesome community of Wealthy Affiliate members whose number runs into thousands. The community is made up of marketers with years of online experience and the founders themselves. It’s not the typical internet forum where discussions are mostly unregulated and nasty. This one is unique and consists of people who are like-minded and ever willing to assist and encourage.
Once a member, you can interact with other marketers either by asking questions, commenting on peoples profiles or providing answers to the question of others. You can even directly speak to Carson and Kyle, the founders of the company and who are always present on the forum. When in need of urgent help, a live chat is always available on the site to allow you to get an instant response.
5. Ongoing Training and Support
Although the scope and type of help depends on the plan you opt for, it’s one of the valuable features of the Wealth Affiliate programs. For the training, there are the weekly webinars that aim to equip you with current skills and knowledge. That means you will ever remain updated on the emerging trends in the field to stay ahead. You also get to receive additional training to help you improve your marketing performance as you continue managing your websites.
When in the free membership plan, you only get help and support for the first 7 days after signing up. Premium subscribers enjoy this feature for the entire time they remain on the platform as paying members, 24/7 and 365 days a year.
Is Wealthy Affiliate a Lucrative Program?
I would say yes and no. “Yes” for those who are willing to learn and remain determined to succeed. Why? Affiliate marketing is a journey that takes time before you can arrive at your chosen destination. It requires hard work along the way and continuous learning to gain new skills.
“No” for those looking for a way to get rich quickly. First of all, affiliate marketing requires enough knowledge before you can start out. That means keenly following the training offered and not missing a thing. It also means working hard to reach your goals by applying the tactics and strategies taught.
What to Expect
The process to earn through affiliate marketing can be long, and patience is required. The promise is that you will finally get there. The length of time before you get your first ever dollar varies. It depends on many factors such as the route
you follow and the amount of work you put into it. It can be a few months or even longer.
Most of the time, the marketers who achieved success had to wait for between three and six months. I would advise you, too, allow that length of time yourself. Remain flexible, though, to change approach should there be a need for that such as when it seems to take too long for the results to come.
Should You Register for Wealthy Affiliate Training
I would say yes. The program offers valuable training, and the site has built an impressive reput
ation over the years. Forget about what the internet says about Wealthy Affiliate and reviews that seem to suggest that the platform doesn’t offer much help to make you a great marketer. Most of those are based on bias and for whatever reasons. Instead, focus on the practicability of the course content and how relevant it is when it comes to offering you marketing knowledge and skills. Above all, consider the excellent idea to help get you started by providing you with a working website or several of them.

What I Think Needs to Be Improved
Wealthy affiliate is an awesome place to start an internet business in the field of affiliate marketing. The platform has helped many to become financially independent individuals. But that doesn’t mean that it has no downsides. There are areas that I feel would need some retouch to make things even better.
One of them is the training mode. It focuses on progressive advancement, which can be a disadvantage if you join when already an expert. I would rather that the training material be based on one’s level of marketing expertise. That way, experienced members can feel more challenged and the content relevant to their needs. That kind of training is the best for beginners, though. Considering that a majority of those who sign up are new in the industry, it may be understandable that the owners of the company chose the training to be that way.
Another downside is the vast amounts of training material. The company started over ten years
ago, and you can imagine the sheer number of videos and the miles of text available. It can easily overwhelm you to browse through all those. The platform also seems to lean more on live chats, private messaging, and blog comments for the communication among members. Although this makes the discussions on the site to be more lively and interactive, it limits the choice for preferred discussions. I would be for the kind of community where I get the chance to pick the topics I want to view and the results I feel interested in.
To Sum Up this Wealthy Affiliate Review
Overall the program is worth trying out, whether a beginner or already established in the field of internet marketing. It offers one of the most detailed training that covers all aspects of the process. The most significant advantage of Wealthy Affiliate over the other training platforms is that you get all the resources and tools to start right away from website setup, domain registration and hosting, keyword tool, web backup, security features, and more. Whether you choose to subscribe to the free or paid membership depends on you. However, I would advise that you enroll for the free plan to test things out, especially if you’re a beginner. Later, and if the need arises, you can upgrade to the paid for membership.

Digital Marketing for Beginners: The Ultimate Guide (2021)
Digital marketing is what drives e-commerce sales. So what’s the point of that? Can you do it and succeed? In this beginner’s guide to digital marketing, I will break it down into smaller sections to make it easier to understand.
Digital marketing is not new; it’s been around for a while. Radio’s first public transmission happened in 1896 when the radio began broadcasting. That’s the whole point of internet marketing. However, this advertising approach is distinct from typical marketing in that it uses wireless signals.
Digital marketing has a lot of misunderstandings associated with it. A simple way to illustrate this concept is to note that, for example, some people believe that online and digital marketing are identical, which is incorrect. In the context of online marketing, internet access is just required, whereas conveying digital signals is also required in the context of digital marketing.
In other words, digital marketing encompasses various media, including billboards, radio, and televisions. Have you discovered this by chance? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Believe it or not, there are still some more misconceptions out there. It sounds reasonable. Let’s get started!
What is Digital Marketing?
Digital marketing has been around since the invention of the radio. Using digital signals to communicate with clients, visitors, or readers is a method of marketing known as communication by digital signals. Digital marketing has grown a lot over the years, particularly in the past few years.
The word “digital” describes several methods of delivering marketing communications such as electronic devices, including television, radio, search engines, websites, social media, and more.
It demonstrates the range of channels available in modern-day digital marketing. Suddenly, every day a new app, website, or digital solution appears. According to Think with Google, 48% of customers use search engines to begin their inquiries.
All marketing channels are not equal. When it comes to digital marketing, you have many marketing options, including email, social media, and PPC. Let’s learn about your company’s investment rationale for digital marketing.
Why Digital Marketing?
In business, more sales, leads, and profits are always required. To succeed, it will have to experiment with new marketing techniques. Digital marketing is at least ten years old. Until now, there were just a limited number of channels. However, people’s attitudes have shifted. Companies have also adjusted in response.
Google and social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram create more income than any traditional media agency; they provide more monetary revenue than traditional media agencies. Why? They’re exposed to more people. That is why internet marketing is critical. There are a few things you must know.
Your Clients or Readers are Online.
Today, around 4.66 billion individuals are using the internet. That represents over 60% of the whole global population. It is rapidly expanding in number. With the current year ending, you’ll see approximately 319 million new users. So think about the ability to promote your idea to the people in your life.
Affordability and ROI of Digital Marketing
More than ever, digital marketing is all about online marketing. However, while online ads are much more economical than those aired on television, they still carry a much higher cost. For example, it might cost $120,000 to air a 30-second commercial on a national television channel.
When it comes to making new material and then spreading it around on social media, the cost may be reasonably low. And, of course, you’re well aware of it. Starting your digital marketing efforts is quick and easy with digital marketing. As well as increasing profitability, digital marketing investments have the advantage of growing profitability over investments in traditional marketing.
Your competition has already Implemented it.
Businesses from McDonald’s to Gucci are all promoting using digital channels. So regardless of your sector or niche, your competitors are already doing it. So that’s a strong argument in favor of your success in digital marketing.
How do you deconstruct the problem? First, discover the most prominent digital marketing categories. Then, let’s give it a go!
Breakdown of Digital Marketing: 9 Major Types
The only way to become a successful digital marketer is to learn how to break it down into steps. I’ll take care of it. Digital marketing may be broken down into 9 distinct types:
Content marketing
Search engine optimization
Search engine marketing
Pay-per-click advertising
Social media marketing
Email marketing
Mobile marketing
TV & radio marketing
Electronic billboards
As you can see, digital marketing is a broad topic; this one can’t concentrate on one part of it. Instead, you can find your items and services via a variety of ways and channels.
The Ultimate Guide to Digital Marketing for Beginners in 2021
Since you’re in the marketing industry, you should focus on a particular sector in digital marketing rather than using digital marketing as a whole. Do you understand this? Let’s begin.
1. Content Marketing
Content marketing is the only kind of marketing that will exist forever and the only type of marketing ever existed. Today, the variety of content marketing efforts includes email marketing, social media marketing, and electronic billboards, but all begin with the concept of content marketing.
Without unique content, every marketing campaign is doomed to fail.
While it’s true that many content marketing initiatives include a blog, video, or tweet, these elements are only a tiny part of a larger content marketing strategy. All about the content: a printed flyer is still a good source of information even if it doesn’t benefit from the power of content. Powerful because it is an excellent storyteller. We all enjoy narratives. Isn’t that correct?
I love Quora because of the amazing content created by its users. When your audience is present, your message is conveyed.
Affiliate marketing is a type of content marketing in which you market the material to earn affiliate commissions. Books, podcasts, movies, white papers, emails, and many more are part of content marketing strategies.
Each approach has its way of going about things, but they all follow the same core creative process.
These are the actions you should take:
Make sure your goals are in line with your mission.
A unique selling point is anything that differentiates your company from competitors.
You need to know your audience and be aware of its regular patterns.
Consider who your target audience is and the type of information they are most likely to find helpful.
Plan by creating a content calendar that you can update often.
And for those of you who care, here’s a helpful hint, To measure the effectiveness of your digital marketing, use URL shortening tools.
2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Now that you’ve recognized the value of content, it’s time to optimize it for search engines such as Google. This digital marketing strategy attracts organic traffic because of it. While traditional forms of marketing tend to be inconsistent, digital marketing is more consistent than anything else.
SEO is all about applying the best search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to rank most in search engines like Google or Bing. The material must meet business objectives by ranking for a particular keyword or query. SEO is not quick. It will take some time before you can appreciate the payoff, but it is well worth the wait.
These are the actions you should take:
It would be best if you understand what your target audience is searching for.
Use keyword research to find the most effective keywords, and then choose the ones that best describe your content.
Identify keywords for your audience, and produce valuable content for them based on those keywords.
It is crucial to always keep in touch with your visitors or consumers with great, thought-provoking content.
Push to increase the number of authority links or mentions of your business asset to its place in the overall strategy.
Long-term SEO is continuous. It does not follow rigid guidelines and is not a one-time technique. Diversify your portfolio and anticipate your profits to increase little by little.
3. Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
As with SEO, search engine marketing (SEM) is most similar to search engine optimization (SEO) because both seek to target search engines. There are many distinctions between SEO and SEM, but some can be surprising. For example, the practice of making money through paid advertising is referred to as search engine marketing.
SEM aims to get as much visibility as possible in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). When you purchase a search ad, you’re paying the search engine to place an advertisement for a particular keyword. So, for instance, if someone types into the search engine, your page will rise above organic results in the results list.
These are the actions you should take:
Start by conducting keyword research.
Calculate the total cost of all relevant keywords.
Limit your selection to terms that have the highest return on investment.
Create content that your audience loves and use adverts to bring in revenue
You may improve the click-through rate by using A/B ad copy.
Choose places relevant to your business.
Analyze the performance as a whole and plan accordingly to increase the ROI.
Before finding a specific phrase or term to target, test many keywords in the search engines to find the one that yields the most profitable results. Pay-per-click (PPC) and search engine marketing (SEM) are both forms of paid advertising using search engines.
4. Social Media Marketing
You did indeed guess correctly. You use social media marketing to market your business, such as on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Everybody in the world must use social media in their business these days. Why? Because everyone uses social media. Customers, Visitors. Everyone.
Go for the social network that will best help you meet your business goals. This is an example of an organization focusing on B2B, and LinkedIn is one of its outlets. And if you enjoy fashion, then you should check out Pinterest or Instagram.
For each individual, it depends. Planning will help you avoid social media miscalculations.
These are the actions you should take:
Know your audience and their needs.
People only care about the type of stuff they adore.
To recognize and identify your competition.
Do something different to engage your audience.
Initiate a social media audit and make changes as a result.
5. Email Marketing
In 1978, the first email was sent to prospective customers, resulting in $13 million in revenue. Momentum continues to build. With email marketing, you can expect to receive a return on investment (ROI) of $42 for every dollar you spend. Email marketing is one of my favorites since you have the opportunity to make personal connections with people. Before it’s too late, build an established relationship with your subscribers.
Take the customer-centric approach to sharpen the power of email marketing. It is about your clients and readers, not about you and your business. If you are new to email marketing, use them as your starting points.
The first step to finding customers for your brand is finding new prospects. And email is just one of several marketing channels, not the only one.
These are the actions you should take:
Determine who your target audience is and why they should care.
Give your customers a reason to sign up (offer an ebook or some other lead magnet).
The goal is to develop an attention-grabbing opt-in form.
Select an email campaign type that is more likely to generate the results you want.
Decide on an email marketing service to help you accomplish your goals.
Another vital point to keep in mind is that your text should remain consistent with your overall voice or brand image. A solid call to action (CTA) is required to increase site visitors who convert into subscribers. Make sure that an opt-in box appears at the proper time so that you can send a message. Personalize your message regularly.
6. Mobile Marketing
Digital marketing encompasses all of the different forms of mobile marketing that I’ve addressed here. Our entire lives are on our phones, thanks to social media and email. To serve customers on their mobile phones, you must optimize your content.
There are a few things you can do:
Always monitor your content’s sizing to stay on top of your competition.
Also, think about the phone when you’re streaming on the go.
Redesign your websites to provide mobile-friendly advertisements.
For a high open-rate, make sure to optimize your newsletter, too, not simply the video content or blog.
Measure the effectiveness of your mobile marketing campaign.
7. TV & Radio Marketing
It is possible that you may not be here for this, I understand. But I suppose I should also add television and radio advertising since it’s a kind of digital marketing. For another thing, the radio may also be used to describe podcasts, and TV may describe internet videos. Nevertheless, in this section, I will focus on radio and TV.
Today, everyone is online, but you may use TV and radio solely to target specific demographics precisely. To catch your audience’s attention, you can also use TV commercials while your audience is watching their streaming TV. What would you like to do?
There are things you can do:
Know your audience and their needs.
To ensure your ads will capture the audience’s attention, be sure your audience will be looking at your ads.
Change the adverts on your TV and radio based on where your audience lives.
Hire the finest and on a budget.
Customize your TV and radio advertisements with streaming service providers for more personalized adverts.
8. Electronic Billboards & Other Digitized Marketing
In addition to digital marketing, electronic billboards are kinds of digital marketing. It is impossible to dispute that your eyeballs become an electrical billboard of eye appeal when you are on the road. The exciting things you may do to enhance earnings depend on your audience.
These are the actions you should take:
Know your audience and their needs.
The method for luring in the creative set is to craft the creatives.
Use the power of colors to your advantage.
Invent powerful catchphrases.
When choosing a location, be sure only to select the most acceptable potential option.
That’s all there is. I’ve put in my best effort to give you value and understanding to help you as a newbie in digital marketing. Even if the guide was lengthy, read on to see what happens next.
TL; DR — Digital Marketing for Beginners in 2021
In this beginner’s guide to digital marketing, you can see that it is not just for internet marketing. But let’s be honest: Not even the wealthiest can win them all. So when planning this type of content, I don’t encourage it unless your audience dictates it.
This means that despite this, let’s have a look at the many things digital marketing can help you do:
Make material that will go viral and then come up with a content marketing strategy.
It is essential to focus on search engine optimization and marketing, too.
Third, you must be adept at finding and implementing new social media methods (as discussed above).
Mobile phones are great to include in any marketing campaign, so have them.
It is recommended that you use TV and radio commercials and electronic billboards based on your target population.
Every form of digital marketing has one thing in common: the audience. As said in the ‘Things You Need to Do’ section, I maintain an understanding of your target. Why? To advertise yourself or your business ideas, make sure that you sell what you have to offer.

Janis Urste Lead Generation Is Easy When You Read This Article
Janis Urste Top service provider. Do you know how to generate new leads for your business? Do you know the best techniques for finding new customers and generating interest in your products or services? If not, you need to read the following article. By doing so, you can learn the techniques of truly effective lead generation.
Be more active on niche-relevant forums and discussion boards to generate easy leads. If you hang out where consumers ask questions, you can gather trust, brand yourself and be a go-to source for them. Not only will they appreciate your assistance, they will also most likely visit your site for more info or to make purchases!
Look to affiliate marketing to generate leads and even customers. Why do all the work for leads when you can have others do it for you on commission? Affiliate programs are a very effective way of introducing your product to new audiences. In fact, you'll see a lot of content created around your product or service. That's very effective.
Set time every week to follow up with potential leads. It usually takes more than one touch point to turn a potential qualified lead into a real hot lead. SO after you've made first contact, set time a week or two later to touch base again. It's about frequency here to make this person into a customer.
Avoid overkill in your information gathering. Many leads will be happy to supply basic information. However, with each data field that your potential lead needs to fill, their desire to continue wanes. Gather the basics that will be necessary to qualify the lead without pushing for every bit of information you can gather.
One thing you must do is to start and grow your "opt in" process for generating leads. You need a marketing newsletter or email marketing or mobile marketing plan for this. You can ask them to opt in on your website, through forums you've joined, blogs and in other places.
Don't be afraid to cut certain tactics that aren't performing as they should. Even if a tactic is generating a ton of leads, it may be that the leads just really aren't that strong. If there's low to no conversion, why continue spending in the channel? Rather double down on tactics that are converting.
Team up with other companies to cross-promote and generate more leads. For example, if your website sells nails, join forces with a site that sells hammers. The mutually beneficial relationship should gather more leads and most likely sales for both of you. Just make sure the partner you choose is closely related to your industry and highly reputable.
Janis Urste Professional tips provider. You need to have a schedule on your business calendar concerning your lead generation efforts. Targets may be offended if your lead generation initiatives are excessive or intrusive. Creating a schedule makes you come off as more professional and friendly. You can also save time by not pitching continuously to non-buyers.
Remember that trending on social media isn't the be-all and end-all of marketing. If you can get any positive buzz at all about what you're selling, you're generating leads. When using social media, the content is king as long as you present it in a way which doesn't sound like spam.
Remember that you have to think more about marketing than just your lead generation strategies. You should not spend more than a couple of hours each day working on generating leads. It goes without saying that you should devote the balance of your time to improving your skills, retaining customers, remaining abreast of developments in your field and earning money.
Pay for leads if you must. Buying or renting them is perfectly acceptable if it increases your bottom line. Find a source of high-quality leads, and use them in addition to other methods until you get your business off the ground. Once you have enough leads coming in from other directions, you can stop using a pay-per-lead service.
Say thank you in your marketing efforts. If someone fills out a form, have an email set up that sends them a thanks. If a person contacts you directly for more information, immediately give them a verbal thanks. Thank you goes a long way to building quick trust, and that means a stronger lead.
Invite your website visitors to sign up for email notifications in return for special discounts and promotions. Everyone wants a bargain. If you make the discounts enticing enough, people will sign up. This is a good way for you to build up your lead database and to advertise your specials.
Janis Urste Most excellent service provider. Find people in your field that are not direct competitors and ask them about exchanging links. For example, if you're someone that landscapes you can trade a link with the fertilizer company. Someone owning property may be buying fertilizer and notice one of your links and contact you, and the links on your site can be used for businesses looking to generate their own leads.
There is no harm in asking your clients for referrals. In fact, give them some incentive for letting people know what you do. Offer them materials to hand out so they have something concrete to share with others and include a referral code. Give them a discount every time a new client shares that referral code with you.
Remember that you don't just have to be professional face to face. Every phone call you make could be with a potential lead, to treat them with kindness. Even if you are on the phone with a customer service representative, the nicer you are, the more likely they are to welcome your sales pitch.
Consider your content consumption and optimization. You will most likely spend a ton of money on great content like website content, whitepapers, and webinars. Figure out what content the visitors want to "consume." You need to determine what it is that they want so that they will engage with your site or landing page more. Make sure that whatever content you use is converting your traffic into leads.
Janis Urste Top service provider. Lead generation is one of those subjects that seems simple at first, but can be quite tricky in practice. You may just need some good advice so that you can know how to generate leads most effectively. Fortunately, the article that you have just read has taught you what you need to know.

BEST FREE TRAFFIC SOURCES 2021 for Affiliate Marketing Links
In this video i will talk about the best free traffic sources for my affiliate links and also, i will explain the strategy that i use to receive a regular flow of free traffic to my website and affiliate links, . What's up? Marketers amar here and before i start explaining my strategy that i've, been using since eight or nine months to generate a regular flow of free traffic to my affiliate links and websites. Let me kindly ask you to subscribe to the channel like the video and or drop a comment. It will be a great support for me and it will be highly appreciated. So, as you can see here on my google analytics for uh from january 4th to january 10th, this year i'm, receiving around 800 visits each and every day to all my websites, my blogs, all of them are represented here, but this is a Good number, like 927 on the 6th of january uh, visits that's, a very good thing, at least for like eight months of work now, and it's going up week after week, so i will be sharing with you the strategy. I've, been applying lately to get this kind of results, so there are many methods to drive free traffic to your affiliate links, but it has to be done in an ethical and effective way, and this is why my affiliate links are always published On my own websites - and let me tell you now that i am not really a fan of the method - affiliate marketing without a website. I think that the people doing that are wasting lots of traffic and leaving lots of money on the table, so the traffic i drive. I drive it to my own websites, where i have a full control and then i can do whatever i want with that traffic, and here is an example of what i am saying so this website here i'm using the front page or the Home page, to build an email list, because this button here will help me build an email list. I'm, offering something for free in exchange of an email address of a lead. So i am building my email address on the first page here. But if i go down, i am also offering a 100 commission affiliate program, so people can be interested of promoting one of these products here that will make them 100 commission and drive traffic to my website. I am also promoting affiliate links in other pages of the website like, for example, this tools page has a ton of affiliate links, while i am offering and delivering good content to my visitors, so this page also has affiliate links on it and the the good thing Is that you have full control, you can do whatever you want with your pages, because you are on your website. This uh page also has affiliate links. The footer has affiliate links. If i take, for example, a blog post that i published here, it has affiliate links number one number, two number three etc. So this is the reason why i like to build my own website and then drop my affiliate, my affiliate links in my web site. Now let's, go back to the slides and one of the best free traffic sources that you can. I mean the best free traffic that you can get is those people who are actively searching for specific information that you can provide on your website. They are ready because they are already searching for that thing. Using the right keywords on your website and having good rankings on search engines can drive highly targeted visitors to your website. Then it will be easier for you to work on converting those visitors into subscribers and or buyers, and this is the reason why learning the basics of seo is very important. And if you want more details about exactly what i'm doing on my blogs, i'm, managing like three or four blogs in the same time. So if you want to know exactly how i'm doing you can download this report here called drive seo traffic. So all you have to do. Go to the website, click on downloads and then go to this report here you can download it and you will learn exactly how i'm, doing to rank a lot of pages of my websites. The second way to drive targeted free traffic to your websites and your affiliate links is quality content. So you need to write good articles, design, good graphics and or make good quality videos you need to take the time. This is an effective way to promote your website. In your brand, because good content is appreciated by readers and it will lead them to stay longer on your websites, recommend it to others or just take action on on one of your recommendations and make you commissions. So it's, really important to take the time and put together an article of 500 or plus words you can go to canva.com and make some beautiful graphics well explained and then publish the content on your website. Whenever someone comes to your website, it stays longer and that's very good for seo and also it might take action on your website, and this is exactly what we want. So here's, one of my other websites, where i am publishing valuable articles with good information on it, easy to read some graphics, and these articles here will rank on the search engines and send you traffic to your affiliate links because affiliate links are Here i mean on the sidebar, for example, these are affiliate links inside the articles. Also, there might be affiliate links, so you prepare your website with good content and some calls to action, and then you optimize it to the search engines. If i go to, this is another website where i publish articles as well, and there are affiliate links on it. This is the one that i showed you earlier on the other website, etc, and if you go to the videos tab on this channel - and you check these two videos here - free traffic and free traffic episode number two - you will see a specific strategy of how to Leverage plr content, it's, absolutely free 100 free. You leverage plr articles that are already written, and then you add to that some graphics and you will end up with great blog posts, to submit to the search engines so feel free to go to the videos, tab and find this video here and this one here. They have a great content on them. The next strategy is having an affiliate program. We are going to use the leverage we are going to leverage efforts of other people who are affiliates. They are, they want to make money with an affiliate product and we want to get the traffic. So what you can do you can create your own info product then offer a 100 commission to affiliates. You can set up your info product on jvzoo, warrior plus or any other affiliate network. The affiliates will do the job and bring traffic to your website or sales page, and if they make sales, of course, they will take 100 of the sale and, as a result, even if you are not making money on the sales, you are still getting targeted traffic To a thank you page where you can promote something else, and this is a very good method, because i tried it myself and, as i showed you before, i am offering here 100 commission for affiliates who will of course accept to promote these info products. Here. They will have all the the sale price they will take it all, but i will have the traffic to the thank you pages of these different products. As you can see here, an affiliate can come here to check the sales page. You can click on the product to see the sales page and then, if he wants to make a hundred percent commission on this product, what he will need to do is click on here. Get your affiliate tools - and there is a page specifically made to give the tools and explain how it works to the affiliate. So he will be ready to do the promotion right away, so he can use banners. He can use an email ad or solo ad to send and drive traffic and every time he makes a sale. He will make 100 commission, but i'm still getting the traffic on the back end. So having an affiliate program that offers 100 commission to affiliates is one of the best ways to drive free traffic to your affiliate links. And if you have any other questions about this strategy, please feel free to drop a comment below and i'll. Be back as soon as possible to answer your questions, another way of driving targeted traffic to your website and that your affiliate links is to do some networking and partnerships, so you need to contact other bloggers and website owners for a possible link exchange partnership. Uh. You need to find websites related to yours, content, wise and people that are doing the same thing as you and publishing same content as you, you can reach out to the owner of the website, make a proposition of guest posting or any other form of backlink exchange. It can be banner exchange, for example, or you can exchange your mailing lists. He sends a solo mail for you to his list and you send the same thing uh for him to your list. You can also discuss with them any other form of cooperation. Another huge source for free traffic is social media and forums. Millions of people are hanging out on social media and forums and discussing various topics and subjects, and the people you are targeting are already there. So here are a few tips. You need to set up professional profile, so if you are on facebook, create a professional profile like the banner of your profile, their picture, the headlines, the calls to action, everything needs to be well done and well explained, and then the attitude you will be adopting is Looking for relationships, not only followers also building your reputation first focus on helping others over selling. You need to seek engagement. Also, you need you can ask people what to do. You can tell them to like the post or, like the video comment on the video you can also include calls to action. You need to stay active, so this work needs to be like on regular basis. You need to stay, active and publish a lot. You can publish about what's trending right now. You can create content that people want to see and also make and publish high quality graphics. Now, before i get to the last free traffic source and free traffic strategy, let me just ask you one more time to like the video subscribe to the channel and or drop a comment, and thank you very much. So the last free traffic strategy is building an email list because having a list of subscribers is like having traffic on demand and building a good reaction relationship with subscribers by always offering them the best. You can also set up and send automated messages. What we call autoresponders and personalized newsletters to keep in touch with them, so this was my strategy that i've, been using for the last eight or nine months. It's, given good results. Let me say good results and it's growing. That's. The best thing it's growing. So if you have any questions p, please feel free to put a comment down below and i will be back as soon as possible to answer your questions.

Hi Folks
*waves* hello new peeps, I’ve recently followed, and been followed by some writing blogs, so maybe I should do a post about what I write and what this blog is about.
Fanfiction: lots of it and varied fandoms, I have an entire page dedicated to the armada, which I will probably need to update sooner than later, cause it evolves more often than I care to think about too closely. Here’s my armada, AO3 or Tumblr AO3 Fanfic list and Prompt Response
Commissions & Ghost Writing: commissions for fics within the legal allowable limits and ghost writing for short stories, I don’t have a lot of limits but I have a few.
Novels: I have 4 (thank you @merflk for reminding me of the fourth)
Shadow’s Sight:
Magic is a very large part of Tzila’s life, has been for years, and now she plans to use that magic to help her family no matter what the cost.
Definitely not the best summary but hey, it’s what I got so far, it will probably change as I actually get around to writing this. Tzila (primary character) is sex-positive ace. Caralyn (main character), Tzila’s sister, has physical disabilities, and while being partly changed into a vampire stops them from getting worse or developing new ones, it doesn’t get rid of the ones she already has, she still has a difficult time, often painful time walking, and uses a wheelchair when she leaves her home.
Converging Lives Verse:
Triad & Soulmate universe where people with soulmarks develop their matched marks mostly in their teens or young adult years.
Here’s where the math get’s weird – I said 4 novels I am working on. I wrote the first three Converging Lives as one long novel that will be broken into different tales, but I still only count it as a single unit until the break down is done. The same with the second trilogy. I am writing it as a single book, to be broken down after. Which makes 3 of the 4
1. Unexpected Meeting:
After sailing accident kills his parental triad, Jon is sent to live with his biological father. He never expected to meet his first soulmate there.
Luc never expected to wake up after a fall that should have killed him. He doesn’t quite know what to make of the teenager taking care of him during his recovery and refusing to be intimidated.
2. Finding Home:
Now that Luc knows that Jon’s his soulmate, he asks the younger man to move in with him. More exactly to buy a house with him. It’s not as easy as it sounds.
After they’ve managed to settle, they decide to do some traveling. After all, what’s the use having the resources to do so and never using them? Besides, Luc wants to show Jon some of the places he’s enjoyed over the years.
Sometimes though, Luc thinks of the soulmate he lost, and wonders if there will be ever be a right time to try and reconnect with Isaac.
3. Connection:
Isaac has spent twelve years thinking that Luc is dead. It’s reasonable to think he’s losing his mind when he sees Luc when he’s on a mission. It’s impossible that his soulmate is still alive. He killed him during a mission after learning he was betrayed.
Jon thinks it’s time to meet Isaac. He knows more about what happened to his soulmates than they do, or at least, he knows more about what happened back then than they do.
Luc thinks it’s time he confronts the past. They betrayal of his first soulmate still stings but he needs to deal with it. It’s the only real way to move forward.
The only question is: how will it turn out when everything is finally in the open?
4. Unexpected Fate:
If someone would have told Sparks that he’d end up back in Russia and in charge of his family, he would have suggested they’re insane. Except, that’s exactly what happened. It’s a really good thing his ex and her brother doesn’t mind him asking for help, because he definitely needs it!
Iov always knew that he’d spend the rest of his life working off the mistake he made. He just never expected it to be by working to help rebuild a crime family into something new, something different. It’s hard to help plan for so many children and young adults when he’s not actually allowed near them.
5. Building Lives
Sitara wants to teach, loves the idea of sharing knowledge. She’s not sure what draws her to apply for a job in Russia, only that she sees an ad for it, and it calls to her. Never would she have guessed that it would lead to her meeting one of her soulmates.
Emere has a case of wanderlust. According to her grandmother, her wanderlust is a direct result of the soulmate draw, pulling her ever towards where they are. Particularly the one who will need her most. She looks forward to the day she meets them.
Pavel’s worried about his best friend. In his opinion Iov needs to take a day off, though mentioning that causes panic, so he tries other ways to make sure his best friend gets to relax occasionally. Of course, the fact he meets his first soulmate, Emere, is a blessing he didn’t expect.
Iov and Sparks are rather busy between the move into the new Balakhnov building, the family, and all the new people around. Of course it stir things up further.
6. Slow Future
Nazreen gets married because it’s what her family thinks is a good idea, only things go horribly wrong. She doesn’t know how to get out of a bad situation with her daughter, but she has to, for her daughter’s sake.
Iov’s life has mostly settled. He lives in constant terror that he will lose everything at a moments notice. He doesn’t want to lose everything, not when he has more now than ever before.
Unexpected events start to form a new future that is unexpected.
My fourth novel is This Changes Everything
Alex presents as an omega even though all tests say he is going to be a beta. It causes his father to abandon him in the middle of London. Life is not simple living on the streets.
Then he runs into a cop who ends up changing his life in ways he never imaged, all of which are for the better.
Suddenly he has a new family and a new chance at a future.
ABO book based on a fanfic I wrote, but after checking Amazon and B&N I was surprised to see it was something also on the market, and I figured, why not try? That’s the fourth
I post random stuff about all of it, and I tag accordingly, usually by universe or challenge. I also do art, tagged under Jaimi’s Art
Writing advice and helpful stuff is tagged under Writing Useful. Writing prompts and challenges tend to be under Writing Prompts.
I have a secondary blog where I reblog everything to, often times forgetting to tag, but there is a lot of lovely pictures to be had there. NSFW happens.
Graygender, ace, demi-panromantic. Use any pronouns you are comfortable with for me, I don’t have a preference.
Be welcome! Feel free to stop in my inbox at any time,
Jaimi

How affiliates make money (Affiliate marketing tutorial for Beginners )
There are many different avenues affiliate marketers can take to see their profits roll in. Here you’ll find information on some of those which are not usually explained from the standpoint of beginner affiliate marketing strategies.
Video Broadcasts
Can you think of a better way to wow any prospective and current customers better than to provide them with your newly published, top-notch videos? Think of how excited they will be when they realize you are offering them full-motion screen captures, demonstrating your hard work. This will get them motivated to jump right in and purchase your product on the spot! It’s been proven time and again that giving your customers something they can see in action can explode your sales almost instantly.
Let’s take Camtasia for example. With no need for long training and education sessions to be able to use this system, it can be a profit-pulling addition to your affiliate marketing strategy line. This allows you to create stunning video sessions, from multimedia tutorials to step-by-step presentations which you can make available online.
For your customers, it will seem like they are sitting right beside you as you show them exactly what they need to see and hear, step by step.
With all of your customer’s senses engaged, stunning multimedia presentations are proven to increase sales.
Skepticism is normally reduced, and complaints are minimized as a result of every fact and detail being included in the presentation. It’s easy to conclude the video with your site location for viewers to be redirected for more information.
Publish value of informational productions are far higher than those which contain only text material.
The ability to minimize any miscommunications is brilliant. You are instantly showing them what it was they wanted to know in the first place, giving them understanding and clarity of the entire essence of your affiliate program.
Press Releases If you happen to have an upcoming event or even newsworthy information related to your site’s primary topic, you may want to consider announcements in the form of
press releases
. An example would be creating a survey amongst your present visitors and customers. Ask them if they have had any successes or downfalls with a particular line of products that they have purchased from you.
Write up a report on your findings, and then create a press release! If this is well written, you could easily find yourself with a dramatic rise in sales. It‘s also a great way to provide exposure for your affiliate business, at the same time as it provides exposure to the products you’re promoting.
Blogging
Blogs are wonderful business tools for so many reasons. This is the perfect way to reach out to your existing, as well as potential core audience regularly. Your blog can also have a more personal touch to it, allowing your readers to feel like you are addressing them personally.
Blogs are also an easy way to set up individual spaces for each of your affiliate products.
Just as you would have individual websites, the same applies to blogs and your affiliate items. You are less likely to see any rise in profit margins if your blog is promoting a different item every second post. When it comes to search engines, they are quite attracted to blogs due to the constant change in information. Fresh content means better indexing on a search rating, thereby giving your particular blog potential for more visitors. More visitors, of course, mean the potential for more money.
Can you picture yourself climbing the ranks yet?
The problem many people encounter with this aspect is they start strong, blogging regularly, and obtain a great number of followers. Then, suddenly it appears the writing well runs dry. If you stop posting your regular content on your blog, you’re probably going to lose some of your clientele.
One of the keys to your successful affiliate marketing ventures is to ensure you keep the lines of communication open. At this point, those lines are directly connected to your blog.
RSS Feeds
RSS is a means by which blogs can broadcast their content to several services and individuals easily and quickly. Your blogging software will probably be able to handle the creation process for your RSS feed automatically. However, having an RSS feed won’t do much good for your traffic statistics if nobody reads it. Therefore you must share your RSS feed with others, usually in the form of pinging.
Another option for this is to submit your feed to any of the numerous RSS aggregators.
One important point when using RSS feeds is to not forget to update. Make sure you remember to either ping using a mass-ping service or to manually alert RSS aggregators about your feed every time you update.
Otherwise, you are losing some of the potential value of the feed. Make your feed itself a moneymaker! Some bloggers who are particularly interested in making their blog pay may want to consider using their RSS feed as a vehicle for advertising.
Choosing Affiliate Networks
While there are many horror stories about affiliate programs and networks floating around, there are ways to choose a good program to promote. The following steps will help guide you in making your decision while steering clear of those which may not be completely legal in their practices.
Find a program you have an interest in. Chances are there are many others interested in the same program or products as well.
Programs of high quality are normally a good choice. Look for those associated with several experts in that industry.
If the program is offering real, viable products they are a better choice. The way you can determine if this is the case is by completing some initial research. When possible, try to contact some of the members and customers for testimonials on the credibility of the program.
Choose a program that is catering to a growing target market. By doing this, you are ensuring there will be continuous demands for referrals. Make as many inquiries as possible.
Check out forums and discussion boards to receive reliable feedback.
Look for programs with residual income compensation plans. Those with a payout of 30% or more are fantastic choices. Programs offering drastically low rewards aren’t worth the time and effort you will need to put into your promotions.
Good choices also include those which provide you with plenty of tools and resources to assist you with the growth of your business in the shortest time possible.
Not all affiliate programs are willing or able to provide you with the tools you need to succeed.
Any affiliate program which provides continuous help and upgrades, as well as strong incentives for its members tends to keep them. These types of actions can assure the growth of your network.
Having a strong knowledge of the affiliate network you are planning to join is your best action towards anticipating and preventing any potential issues you may encounter.
Houston...We Have a Problem Just as with any other aspect of life, there are sometimes issues or problems you can get hit with unexpectedly.
Some of these can be avoided, and some you just have to learn to deal with and keep ongoing. Let’s take a look at a few potential issues you could encounter during your affiliate marketing journey.
Content theft is something that can happen to even the most experienced super affiliate.
You could be surfing around the internet, and suddenly stumble upon one of your articles or ads, yet there is no link to your site or mention of your name anywhere to be found. You haven’t even heard of this person before!
Search the site for contact information for either the owner or webmaster where this has happened. You can ask them to please either include your URL or kindly remove your content from their site. Most times this will be sufficient enough to have something done.
Receiving rejection or termination letters from affiliate managers can be quite a shock. To best avoid any rejection letters, it’s best to make sure you have completely read and understood any terms and conditions set out by the affiliate program you are considering.
By ensuring you comply with all of their requirements beforehand gives you a better chance at avoiding that rejection in the first place.
When it comes to termination letters, however, the scenario is a bit different. It’s important to ensure you’re ready to dedicate the time and effort needed to best promote your affiliate programs.
Before starting the application process for your affiliations, it’s important to be as close to “ready to roll” as possible. This will give you the bonus of being prepared to start almost the minute you receive your acceptance information.
The idea of companies paying salespeople commissions for selling their products has been around since time untold.
When the Internet came along, it was only a matter of time before someone thought to devise a way to take the practice online. There is some debate about who pioneered the concept of affiliate marketing, but webmasters of adult websites were among the first to put it into practice in the mid-1990s.
Affiliate marketing has come a long way since then. It has expanded to every field in online sales. It has evolved into practice with all sorts of nuances and techniques. It has made a lot of people a lot of money, and a whole lot more people a little money. According to Marketing Sherpa, in 2011, affiliates worldwide earned an estimated 9.5 billion dollars in commissions.
Those who are new to affiliate marketing often have high expectations. They hear the stories of affiliates who are making six figures a year just by promoting other people's products, and they get stars in their eyes. They eagerly sign up for lots and lots of programs, and they start counting the money in their minds. Unfortunately, many of them barely make enough to cover their website hosting, much less a profit.
Maybe you're one of those who became disillusioned after months of barely-existent profits.
Or maybe you've made some money, but you haven't achieved the success that you had hoped for. Either way, it's important to realize that you – yes, YOU – can make a steady income with affiliate marketing. You don't have to be some kind of guru to make it work.
You just have to be determined and ready to do what it takes to succeed. In this report, you'll learn how to take your affiliate marketing business to the next level.
