You're leaving money on the table if you aren't always looking for ways to improve the "purchase-readiness" of your visitors -- and boost your site's conversions. Here's three you can try... #1 - Are you using datafeeds? Datafeeds are proven to increase affiliate sales. A merchant datafeed is simple a spreadsheet-like file with data about products. It can include diagrams, specs, descriptions, links to photos, and even prices. In a data feed, little codes - sometimes called tokens - correspond to each category of information. When you add these tokens to your web templates, the product information is inserted into your web page in the appropriate spot. So with a datafeed, your visitors see all the up-to-date information about a product fresh from the merchant, right on your landing page. Naturally this makes your life much, much easier. Once you've set up a datafeed, you don't need to update all this information by hand on your web pages. Just upload the current data feed and you're done. If you have a choice, look f... Read More →

Just a quick pre-announcement! We've been working on this (quietly) for over 8 months and it's all coming together now! In just a few weeks we're going to launch a series of videos that outline this affiliate's entire business model. It truly is amazing and very different. The entire training is going to be delivered using a specific training system that we've spent over a year developing - it's an actual eLearning system WITH testing, tools and a full support structure. And, yes, there will be a pre-launch full of great content. Yes, there will eventually be something to "buy" - however, if you're worried that it's going to be a "high ticket" course, rest easy, it won't. If all you do is watch the videos we release soon, you'll learn more than most courses combined. For now, I just wanted to let you know to watch your e-mail. The first video will be releasing in just a couple of weeks.... Read More →
