It seems that most people still do not know that you have to protect your affiliate links from your users. Most users are quite focused on the kind of links that are typical for affiliate codes; for instance, links with ?aff=johndoe in them. In forums and on websites it seems as if people actually do not realize that their prospects cut off these kind of references before going to the site of the product or service they are looking to buy.
While it is not exactly clear (it is not as if they are paying more or anything…) why people cut off these links, it is very common for sites with affiliate programs to get questions like; ‘I am sure I sent 10 people your way, yet I have no one in my downline, your system must be broken’. Of course the system isn’t broken but they all simply cut off the link.
As my readers know, I have been making money online for a long time. Well, online usually meant mixing offline with online. Visiting (boring) clients, talking to people in person (which I hate), giving presentations (which I hate even more). And then the work usually would move to online; getting outsourcing for the project set up, talking to the client via mail from then on (if I could help it) etc.
But that is not really making money online. For me making money online is a total process of making every cent you earn in a ‘project’ or company online; no offline things involved. This means;
- getting the client online
- having the ‘product’ created online (by outsourcing or otherwise)
- transferring the cash online (Paypal or that kind of thing)
- doing all specs online
For me personally it actually means zero facetime, not even that horrible invention called Skype.
2007 is almost over. This year was a great year for the free hosting market (read my earlier post about that here; mostly outdated information!); thousands of new freehosts saw the light and most of them went into the blackness of going broke in the same year. So what happened? Why did so many people start and stop with this business of freehosting and is it, as so many people in forums tell us, really dead?
Read on to see these questions answered. And I’ll tell you how can make a lot of money with free hosting here and now too.
On many webmaster and entrepreneur forums, people are often asking about million dollar ideas. Everyone is looking for that golden tip of money making, rocketing them into life-long wealth. Ofcourse, there are such ideas, like this one. But that particular idea is used every time the get-rich-quick-webmasters are getting together on a forum; needless to say, it won’t work for you! So what will?
