Great tele-session, good info. Took a look at the two sites you mentioned.. Are they basically the same as the linkshare and shareasale links I got from your program? Basically sign up with them and get your advertisers through them? How many of these affiliate network accounts do you guys have? I am currently using, linkshare, shareasale, commision junction, google adsense, goole adwords, google affiliate network, etc.
Really wish I could go to the Chicago conference, but like ive said, it is financially out of reach for me at this time, but hope it goes well for all involved.
Last question, I have numerous advertisers, at least 100 or so. At present I have only the one site until it becomes viable enough for me to maybe expand. if I were to try and gear my site to 1 or just a very few advertisers/products, what should I do with the rest? Cancel them or wait till this site takes off and use them elsewhere?

When I started all this I did not anticipate becoming a salesman, so this is requiring a total retooling of how I have to think in regards to promoting my site

Thanks
Bill
My Response:

Hi Bill –

Glad you enjoyed the conference. We really enjoy sharing the new tips and tricks we learn from attending live events and our own trial and error.
First, the two ad networks we mentioned on the call (Pulse360.com and Marchex.com) are ad networks. They are not like CJ or Share-a-Sale. CJ and share-a-sale are affiliate networks. Affiliate networks are “middle men” between the affiliate and the advertiser. In other words, you use affiliate networks to get access to new offers.

The Ad Networks including Marchex and Pulse360 are companies you can use to get TRAFFIC to your website. They do not have affiliate offers.

Second, we always suggest that you make just one thing work and then figure out how to multiply that same income. That has been the success model that we – and other highly successful affiliates – use to ramp up their income.

This way is far easier than trying to make a whole bunch of unrelated offers work at the same time.

For instance, let’s say that you find one offer that is working on your website and you are making $50 per day. There are dozens of ways you can multiply that income. Here are just a few:

- open new campaigns in all the search engines including Google, Yahoo and MSN.

- set up content network campaigns in Google, Yahoo and MSN.

- consider different ad formats including image/banner and video ads

- set up an autoresponder sequence where you offer a free gift. Monetize the list with a related affiliate offer.

As for the other offers you already have set up, there really is no need to do anything with those campaigns. You can always come back to them later on when you are ready.
