I look at affiliate programs on a case by case basis. I prefer to feature affiliate programs which have a history of paying affiliates, but new affiliate programs which show good promise may also be featured as well.

Hi! What’s the difference between a blog and an affiliate marketing website? Thanks!
Nathaniell
They’re essentially the same thing. Historically, a “blog” was just a website where you would publish personal content. Now, a blog can refer to an area of a website where you publish long-form content (as opposed to ecommerce listings), but since WordPress websites’ main feature is the published content, many people refer to their WordPress website as a “blog”.
A ‘website’ would be something more static. For example, if you were a comedian and just wanted 2-3 pages with info about you, and upcoming shows. A blog is more dynamic because you’re publishing content weekly.
For all intents and purposes, your “blog” and “affiliate marketing website” are the same thing.

Hi,
I subscribed to your affiliate course months ago, but I’m just now getting back to it. I do have a question if you don’t mind.
I am in an affiliate program. I have their products on my website, but I haven’t marketed them. I created a landing page for one product and sent it to Facebook. When someone clicks on the ad in FB it comes back to my site. Then they have to click again to see the product. Question: Is it better for them to click through to the product from the ad? That would eliminate one click. If so, I could use Pretty Links on the link that goes to the company, but would it still have my ID in the link?
What’s the best way of handling this?
Thank You,
Dena

Pretty link would retain your affiliate code, and yes, this is a tactic to remove a “step” in the buying process. This will lead to more clicks, and possibly more sales.
However, consider that people will be less informed about the product, so may convert lower. More clicks doesn’t ALWAYS mean more sales. If people are less aware of the benefits of buying whatever you’re promoting, they’re more likely to click away to do more research before paying!
If you have a relevant Facebook group, and publish something interesting/helpful, then you could absolutely bypass the website portion and make some decent affiliate sales from FB.
Just be aware also that many groups moderate for affiliate links (even redirected ones), and may mark your link as spam. This could get your Facebook account restricted, or your website marked as spam on the platform, even when you post normal blog links.

Hello,
My name is Ivana Balentic and while going through your website I saw you mentioned our friends at Pissed Consumer.
I’m curious is it possible to sponsor the mention of my blog?
All the best,
Ivana Balentic

I’m not sure what you mean by “sponsor”. I’ve already linked to the complaint at Pissed Consumer for free…so there’s no need to sponsor it. Can you clarify?

Thinking about joining a MLM called NeoLife but I’m hesitant especially after reading your article about affiliate marketing my wife is from Mexico and is fluent in Spanish can this( affiliate marketing) be done in the Spanish language as well as the English language? Please reach out to us since the Spanish-speaking Market is exploding globally… Richard and Wilma Vargas
Nathaniell
Affiliate marketing can be done in any language. The biggest market is in English, and centered around the USA, but there are many smaller markets around the world. Spanish markets are going to be one of the biggest “small” markets because so many people speak that language around the world. Same with Chinese!
