Your Favorite Part of Affiliate Marketing?

Excellent poll, Linda!

From the mgmt. p.o.v, it's great to work closely with affiliates and see them benefit in the process. It's even more exciting to see what new developments will occur.

Just recently we collaborated with an affiliate who had a network of URLs. Due to little time, she wasn't able to promote on all her sites and didn't even know where to begin with our merchants, as we have a long list from a variety of verticals. Anyway, by just assessing her site and helping her to determine what type of brands were best for her audience, she began promoting on one of her websites this week and just two days ago, she generated her first sale. This was a thrill to see!

Thanks Maranda, so glad to hear the fav part from your perspective.
I'm with you, it's such a thrill when you can help a new affiliate see the light,
turn the corner and start making sales.

[maranda]

Absolutely! And I can understand how from an affiliate's perspective they love to see the big checks come in.



Great reward for hard work!

As for me, I enjoy the game of it. Leaping into the unknown, doing research, challenging myself writing content, the variety and selection to choose from. I also love interacting with the type of people who get involved in Affiliate Marketing.

There are two things I love about Affiliate Marketing:

- talk with my affiliates and answer to their questions/inquiries/needs.
- recruit new affiliates

Favorite part of affiliate marketing - knowing that you can beat the system, stop 'loving your servitude', and realize that this is all possible. So the 'proof' of success in itself is what I love most - finding out about it - assuming it's a scam - being skeptical in trying - then POOF - converting

**I will also note a 'cool' part to AM'ing is trying to explain to others what I do - I'm sure you're all the same - you start to sound like an informercial (those passionate anyway). So it's cool when I peak someones interest, and then get to see them go through the above cycle and thank me.

Yes I agree norb it's hard not to sound like your pushing what your promoting when explaing what you do for a living, again for me this is all new but I love collecting the information and putting it all together and trying to find the best fit for it to make some green. It is a wonderful felling when you hammer the pavement and do your own promoting/marketing instead of paying for adwords and other types of programs and you start to see traffic and conversions from your sites. It is especially for me since just starting out the best felling because their are so many so called gurus out there that say you won't make it if you don't buy into ppc or certain programs(that I won't mention here) that you have to pay for in order to get traffic/conversions.. It is a very satisfying felling to say the least...ok enough ranting thanks for reading....

I love SEO and PPC games

There are just so many other reasons:

1. Meeting new people and helping them

2. Flexiblility of having my own business (I really don't have the money to own my shop)

3. Challenging myself

4. Having fun in what I do possibly because of I control my working time. But I am sure I am having more fun in my last 9-5 job

5. Being able to control my time. I can start work after dinner until 2am. No one will care.

6. New things to learn almost everyday. I was quite stagnant during my last job. Doing the same thing, meeting the same people, saying the similar greetings. It just crreps me out.

My favorite part is USUALLY they are FREE to join!! What's better than the thrill of making free money???
