The Best Ways to Use Social Media

I like to think of social media as a public relations tool. In that respect, it can be very useful. You can use social networks to disseminate press releases and other company news, as well as to chat with prospective customers about what types of new products they would find useful. So, it can be used for market research.

However, I don’t think social media is really an effective direct sales tool. Advertisers might be a bit disappointed if they’re counting on it for sales revenue. Ultimately, social networks are only one tool in a marketer’s arsenal. After all, multichannel marketing involves using more than one medium for sales.

Profiting From Affiliate Marketing

In my experience, private CPA deals generate more revenue than large numbers of affiliates. Many affiliates take no action after signing up for a program. Those who do use the affiliate creatives usually generate only a few sales here and there.

The fraud rate among affiliates can be very high, too. That’s especially the case with CPL offers.

I’ve managed affiliate programs, and I’ve learned that you shouldn’t approve every affiliate who applies. Look for affiliates whose sites contain high-quality content and garner a large amount of quality traffic. Also, affiliates who have large double opt-in email lists are excellent.

As long as you have a good affiliate tracking solution, you should focus your efforts on private CPA deals. Though they take longer to negotiate, they can be very profitable.
