			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>It doesn't pay to stiff your affiliates. The damage it can do to your reputation isn't worth it. Just think about that!  In this day of blogging one upset affiliate can do your brand a world of hurt.<br />
<br />
You wouldn't think a company like Marketing Sherpa would be the one accused of not paying affiliates.  See what happens when an affiliate's legitimate attempts to get paid fall on deaf ears. A situation that could have been rectified a few months ago with a couple hundred dollars turns into a public outcry and I'm sure will cost the company more than the outstanding commission they owe.  See comments in the blog. <br />

<br />
<b>Update:</b> After blogging this, DJ did get a call saying the check was in the mail, so after months of trying to get paid, maybe he finally will.</div>

<br />
~ You have been pushing hard for people to evolve the affiliate model and add value. What are some of the easiest ways affiliates can do that? What are some of the most creative and intensive things you have done to increase the quality and value of your sites?<br />
<br />
~ Do affiliates need a lot of money to compete in the market? Or can they win with little investment provided they are willing to put in a lot of effort?<br />
<br />
~ Do you see offline networking as being a key component of affiliate marketing strategies? Do you do it to promote any of your brands?<br />
<br />
~ You dub AdSense as "webmaster welfare" and seem to much prefer affiliate revenues to AdSense revenues. Do you have any sites in illiquid affiliate markets? How do you monetize them?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Article Marketing With Free E-books<br />
<br />
Don't just submit your articles to submission sites. You put a great deal of time into writing and perfecting your articles, so you want to get the most out of them. Compile your articles into a professional looking e-book that you can submit to e-book directories and freebie sites, give away as a bonus, or allow e-zine publishers to give away.<br />
<br />
Here are the steps I took to create my viral e-book, "Writing for Publicity," using Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat.<br />
<br />
1.  Compile Your Articles.<br />
<br />
To create your e-book, decide on a theme and then compile your articles and blog postings that fit your theme. Don't confuse readers by throwing together an e-book with multiple topics.<br />
<br />
2.  Design a Title Page.<br />
<br />
A title page is the first page of an e-book. Use a colorful graphic that fits your theme and add the e-book title, a subtitle if needed, and your name.<br />
<br />
3.  Incorporate a Copyright Notice.<br />
<br />
Include a copyright statement that gives readers the right to share your e-book but excludes them from making changes to the file. This is the statement I use: <br />
<br />
"This e-book is fully protected by the COPYRIGHT LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA contained in Title 17 of the United States Code. All copyrights are owned by YOUR COMPANY HERE. You may distribute this e-book freely. Technology has been used to prevent changes from being made to the content herein."<br />
<br />
4.  Classify Your Articles.<br />
<br />
Organize your articles logically by subtopic, date written, title, etc. Choose whatever works for you and makes your e-book easy to read.<br />
<br />
5.  Create a Table of Contents.<br />
<br />
In Microsoft Word you can create a style to use for article titles that you can then incorporate into your table of contents without retyping all the titles. Most word processing software includes this function.<br />
<br />
6.  Make Your Links Live.<br />
<br />
Check links in your articles to make sure they work.  Update or remove the dead ones. <br />
<br />
7.  Include Resource Links Or A Reading List.<br />
<br />
If it makes sense, include a list of resource links or a recommended reading list. I use links to my products and services along with links to free resources on article marketing.<br />
<br />
8.  Add a Biography and an Ad.<br />
<br />
Close your e-book with your biography and picture on one page, and dedicate at least one page to a targeted product or service that fits the theme of the e-book. You can also offer another free product in return for readers subscribing to your e-zine.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello all,<br />
<br />
Pretty much new here (posted a few way back when)<br />
<br />
I had a platform question. We've been in our industry a pretty long time now. We Started an affiliate program, but a large contract took our attention away for a couple years.<br />
<br />
We're getting ready to re-launch our program and a lot has changed. My question is about platforms. Sareasale, CJ etc.<br />
<br />
I understand the importance of having a large affiliate base, but if our plan is to be very hands on, very proactive with our affiliates, does the platform matter as much?<br />
<br />
In other words, CJ is nearly 10K where as others are a couple hundred to start. Im trying to decide if the 10K is actually worth it.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much in advance<br />
<br />
Marc</div>
