Referral are great............except when they aren't active

roseyroser @roseyroser (1059) • United States 6 Sep 09

I'm sure a lot of people can find referrals. I find the trickiest part of referrals is getting active referrals. For example, on IMReportCard I have 12 referrals but none of them are active. It is very disappointing! I've...

aballantyne Keeping referrals active is a big challenge. The way I see it there are two ways of dealing with this. First of all one can either try to teach their referrals to be successful in generating their own referrals and the importance of being active. This is...

where can i work online as a writer?

jhellie_baby @jhellie_baby (374) • Philippines 2 Sep 09

Is there a website where I can work as a writer? I don't like revenue sharing sites such as associated content, helium, e-how, etc. I prefer websites that have actual clients. Any ideas? Thanks a lot in advance!

aballantyne I've sold some articles on Dailyarticle.com. You can set your own prices for your work. The articles that are priced under 10 dollars sell the best.

Affiliate Marketing is great for those who are willing to work

slmash @slmash (20) • South Africa 19 Jun 09

I've been in the affiliate marketing sector for a while and so far it's been great for me. I just sort of stumbled upon it. I tarted doing PTC and then the money was coming in one cent at a time. I couldn't imagine going far with...

aballantyne Good point. I completely agree. The ebook gurus make it seem so easy with their hyped up sales pages and "easy systems". The gurus never tell you about how much time and work all the blogging, article marketing and linkbuilding is.

To the affiliate marketing gurus out there? What are some of the most profitable affliate niches out there?

niches

1 response

aballantyne You shouldn't automatically try to enter the most profitable niches there are for a couple of reasons. First of all the most profitable niches will also be the most competitive ones. More competition makes it harder to get targeted traffic and make money....

AFFILIATE BUSINESS seems to be the big thing on the net. Keep seeing these

Sergeantrom @sergeantrom (5721) • United States 26 Jul 09

big Google checks on ads etc. My question is, with this bad economy, what the heck are people buying thats making all those affiliate members so rich? You would think no one is buying anything.

aballantyne It is true that fewer people are buying and that has affected affiliates as well. Here are some of my recommendations for affiliates to weather these tough economic times. 1. I recommend promoting fewer affiliate programs that pay for sales and focus more...

Have You monetize your twitter, If yes, can you tell me how to optimize our earnings on twitter?

aballantyne I think you would be better off starting your own blog than trying to make money off of twitter. Some people have been able to do it but it isn't easy. I recommend you get your own domain name and blog to establish yourself online.

Do you do points earning options in GPT programs?

Kythe42 @Kythe42 (1412) • United States 6 Jun 07

If a GPT program does only point earnings or mostly point earnings, then I will probably not sign up for that program. If the program is mostly cash but has points earnings as something extra, then I'm more likely to sign up with...

aballantyne If you have the extra time to participate in points offers then they are definitely a good idea. Usually what I do is redeem them for advertising to build downlines in other programs. I've found that it works better for me to use points that way than to cash...

aballantyne I think AC is a good writing site. You shouldn't limit yourself to them however. There are other sites you can sell articles to buyers and set your own price rather than just getting offered a price from AC. Some of those sites you can sell articles on are...

How safe is online surveys?

apples99 @apples99 (6556) • United States 17 Mar 09

aballantyne They are generally safe. The survey companies ask you those questions to try and better match survey offers to individuals. They also do send out a lot of emails which is why I recommend using a free google or yahoo mail address when signing up with the survey...
