I don’t know if you have been paying attention, but Affilorama has quickly become the talk of town in the affiliate marketing world. So I decided to sit down and figure out why these are being talked about all over the Internet. AffiloRama is a community of affiliate marketers who are out there to teach [...]

That’s the question many affiliates are asking these days. Article marketing used to be a full proof way to make money just a few years ago, but with more folks getting in, it seems super-affiliates have moved on from this channel. Well, I can tell you that I  personally haven’t moved on. It’s true that [...]

Twitter is the talk of town these days. Actually, it has been for some time now. I remember the first time I saw Twitter. I thought to myself, “this is one useless service.” There, I said it. I was wrong, and there is nothing with being wrong. It’s so easy to make judgments based on [...]

A lot of folks have been talking about going local to gain success in the affiliate marketing world. But I am surprised that nobody talks about going global with affiliate marketing. The truth is only a handful a countries (U.S., UK, …) have opportunities for affiliate marketers, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t take [...]

Let’s say you promote Walmart deals. [...]

It’s true. Timing is absolutely everything when it comes to making a killing in the affiliate marketing world. There are many folks who make a killing by promoting the right product at the right time. Affiliate products are not different than regular products, and they go through a life cycle as well. What the above [...]

That’s an interesting question that many have been asking in the past. Does affiliate marketing make you fat? I know a lot of folks don’t give these issues a thought. After all, there could be many other reasons for someone getting back. Just as you can’t claim coffee is giving you cancer if you smoke [...]

Now, the whole idea of never die attitude has been around from the dawn of time. But knowing something and seeing it in action are very different. I first got familiar with the real never say die attitude from the work of legendary Gary Kasparov. Gary was my idol growing up. I was a young [...]

Social media and Web 2.0 caught fire a couple of years ago, and folks have been jumping on the bandwagon since then. Using Twitter a year go would have made you an early adopter, but nowadays using Twitter is more of a necessity than anything else. Twitter used to be just a micro-blogging platform that [...]
