Last week at PubCon South, I spoke on an Affiliate Marketing Panel about the risks and rewards of starting an affiliate program along with the steps one should take to get it set up and manage it properly. In addition, I provided strategies that affiliate managers should use to get their program noticed.
After the session, I was interviewed by Abby from WebProNews and offered up a glimpse into the session and some quick tips. We also talked about my new role as affiliate manager for ThesisAffiliates.com to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
It’s a quick 5-minute video and hopefully you’ll find a pearl or two in it that will help with your program.
MissyWard.com runs on the Thesis Theme Framework
If you’re an affiliate who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.
Those of you who are “in between,” like myself, can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:
