Pass This Info on to an Affiliate Manager

by Shawn_Collins

There is one thing that a lot of affiliate managers don’t know how to do, and that is to be an affiliate.

While it is not a requirement for most affiliate manager positions, I think it ought to be.

How better to understand and assist affiliates with the many pitfalls and challenges that come with being an affiliate?

So let’s get started, affiliate manager. I’ll take you through the steps I go through to create an affiliate site myself:

You probably noticed there is no mention of applying to affiliate programs, putting up links, etc. That’s because you have to provide some unique value proposition and build an audience before you can monetize.

Get working on that and the affiliate part of it comes next.

AskMissyWard.com: Facebook Page Special Offers

by Missy Ward

Today's AskMissyWard.com question comes from Anna at VSO Software:

“When I clicked on “like” on your Missy Ward Facebook Page, I landed on a page with the link to a special offer. That's awsome. How do you do this ? I have a welcome tab, but how do I make people land on another page with my discount when they click on “like” ?”

I am using the paid version of a Facebook App called Tradable Bits which allows you to create a customized Facebook Page quickly and easily. You can upload images, embed Twitter and video content using their simple tools. Their templates have allowed me to easily create a Welcome Tab, an “Exclusive” Tab and other html-based Tabs within my Facebook page in minutes. You can then select whatever Tab you decide to be your default tab that you want visitors to see.

They offer an ad-supported free version, but I opted to go with the ad-free small-business version which allows me to use the App on up to 3 of my pages.

Here's a quick video showing how easy it is to use:

Let me know how it works out for you.
