It Would Be Good To See More Affiliates Blogging
posted in Affiliate Marketing |
It’s always encouraging to observe affiliates partake in the affiliate4u forum posting their thoughts, concerns, opinions and imparting some solid advice or support. Though I guess some may seem a little disappointed when their thread quickly descends down the pages & new posts & threads precede them, when they were hopefully anticipating a bit of constructive feedback.
However shouldn’t there be more blogs? All too often good posts probably get missed by many forum members, when a post is submitted today, it becomes yesterday’s fish and chip wrapping paper, a few networks take the pompous approach of not addressing issues head on, in the forum, while still merrily posting promotions as part of their advertising vehicle to purposely push the important post down the fold. But some networks are good, let’s get that straight.
But issues & lack of resolutions aside there are so many affiliates who have good insight & opinion on differing topics who simply don’t blog. Perhaps when they do post, it would be nice if they would also expand further on their blogs before the forum post it disappears by gravitating downwards (like my moobs, i mean pecs) onto page 13.
By only posting on the forum, is like fishing with a small pond dipping net (i.e. it will be viewed on just one site & deeply submerged in a short period of time) but with more affiliates blogging, we can cast something more akin to a fishing trawler net, increasing the chances of creating more exposure & insight into the trials, tribulations & wonderful aspects of the affiliate marketing industry.
If you are currently are an affiliate, and don’t have a blog related to affiliate marketing, don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today, it doesn’t matter how often you blog, even if only once a week. GET YOURSELF AN AFFILIATE BLOG!
Note it has also been encouraging noticing networks launching blogs too.
In general chat today, I was bemused by a comment from a network referring to “closed groups” as being an inappropriate phrase and being called … wait for it .. “strategic groups” .. then an affiliate friend forwarded a nice simile … “and I call the devil, satan” which made me smile, let’s get the pompous proclamations out of the industry and stick to good old fashioned layman’s terms or would these dignitaries in the self perceived upper echelons of society prefer to refer to us common affiliates as pond spawn with the misplaced snobbery within certain sections of the industry which only serves to stifle the true potential of affiliate marketing from its’ realisation.
I mean … come on. some offices must have massive termite mounds or mole hills in their carpet from what is swept under it.
If anything though, the crux of this posting without all the waffle is that I would like to see more affiliates blogging, they make a good reading & most of us, well definitely me, enjoys reading them.
Let’s hope so.
