Affiliate marketing works both ways

Reel em in

So much for the daily posting!  Will still aim to do it though…

The truth is my connection was terrible over the weekend for some odd reason, frustrating to say the least, ah well, technology for ya!

Like many of you bloggers out there, I sometimes take too much on and that can be a hassle at times, having to prioritise is the only solution with it.

One thing we all have in common is the need to make blogging pay it’s way, after all who wants to do all this for nothing?

Not me!

So it’s nice to get offers from people who contact me asking about the possibility of promoting their work as an affiliate, but…

Don’t ask when you have nothing to offer!

Affiliate marketing works both ways

While we all know what it means to be an affiliate and how it works, saying that I am left baffled at how some affiliate managers go about getting affiliates.

I have had about 5 offers recently and only two of them had anything even worth looking at, indeed I only agreed to two recent offers and will see how they go, more on that in another post.

The few that baffled me expect me to give them all my own details before seeing anything about the offers, yet they had nothing to offer, so I am less likely to even bother with them from here onwards, yet they have my details already… something I may ask them to remove completely.

If you really should contact bloggers with “offers” make sure it has something that fits first, it isn’t hard to do that, go check the blog out first!

Let us bloggers check out things without having to give you ANY information, after all, it’s US doing YOU the favour.

You expect bloggers to put effort into promoting your biz, then at least put some damn effort into checking things out first!

Don’t you agree?
