Just a few minutes ago Greg Hoffman (one of the better affiliate managers out there) put a post on Facebook: “As an affiliate manager, I don’t give a rats ass about Pinterest, but I’m glad you like it so much“. And then a discussion cropped up about how an affiliate manager can benefit from Pinterest. […]

Well, let’s first start off with a recap of last week and how I did. I had 6 main things I wanted to work on last week and while there are always gonna be other things that come up week by week I really want to try and start knocking more and more stuff off […]
When to use Genesis vs Thesis
Posted on 7:06 pm · Leave a Comment
From everything I have seen Genesis and Thesis are the two most popular premium WordPress themes out there. I use both of them regularly (this site runs on Thesis) and regularly recommend both of them (and not just because I get an affiliate commission). Overall both of these premium themes are very SEO friendly, somewhat […]

Like I mentioned in a post last week I want to keep you updated on what I have planned for this week. After looking at all the stuff I have to do I decided a set schedule of tasks isn’t the way to go. I just need to prioritize the different projects and sites I […]
We Need More Properly Trained Affiliate Program Managers

Many times in the past, either here or on Twitter, I have railed against the bad affiliate management out there.

3 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Buying a Domain
Posted on 9:00 pm · 3 Comments

Can Pinterest and Affiliates Have a Happy Marriage?
Posted on 9:04 pm · 3 Comments
A few days ago I got an affiliate agreement update from a merchant saying “Submitting affiliate links to social sharing sites such as Pinterest, Reddit.com, Digg.com, Twitter, StumbleUpon.com, and others is prohibited”. I put up a tweet about it and Scott Jangro expanded on it a bit and I figured it was a topic worthy […]
What to do with that motivation?
Posted on 11:32 pm · 1 Comment
Last week I wrote a post about the recent butt kickings I have received. My motivation to succeed is higher than ever right now due to these two recent events and for the past two weeks I have been working on a plan. Of course this plan is totally subject to change and as usually […]
What kicks you in the butt?
Posted on 11:49 pm · 3 Comments
We all need some motivation from time to time. It can come in many different forms, it can come at any time, and it will look different for everyone. What motivates one person might not do a thing for someone else. Usually around this time in January I have a ton of motivation after returning […]
The Great Domain Sale of 2012
Posted on 10:57 pm · Leave a Comment
Like probably every other affiliate marketer out there I have amassed quite a bit collection of domains over the years. Many of the sites have been up and generating sales for years, many of them have just partially completed sites, and many of them have nothing on them. All of them were good ideas in […]
