How to Get Started with Affiliate Programs
2007-07-30 12:37:00 So everyone, including me, recommends affiliate programs - especially for new blogs. But the question remains: what affiliate programs should you use, and how do you use them? How to Evaluate A Program When deciding whether to use a certain affiliate program, I use the three “R’s”: Revenue: Look for programs that pay a large chunk of the purchase price. Sure the seller will probably make more down the line, but your goal is to increase your profits. Don’t worry about him. Reccurance: A low payout that repeats every month is better than a one-shot high payout (unless you think people won’t like the product, in which case you shouldn’t be selling it anyway…) Relevance: Make sure the affiliate program has something to do with your blog. There’s nothing worse than selling fur coats on a vegan blog, or dresses on a men’s blog. OK, now that you know what factors to consider, how do you find a program? How to FIND a Program Affiliat...

Retraction
2007-07-29 09:40:00 I’d like to retract the articles I wrote in support of AN Hosting. After a series of negative experiences with them, I’ll be writing a hosting review comparing the different contenders. Those of you who supported the site and signed up with them, I recommend you switch to Blue Host ASAP. AN Hosting promised the sun, the moon, and the stars but it didn’t deliver. I’m not saying Blue Host is perfect, but after a week on AN Hosting I’m glad I’m switching. I’ll tell you all about it Monday.

Credit Card Processing
2007-07-29 05:56:00 OYG Ads has hit a bit of a stump…I need a cost-effective credit card processor. Paypal is great but they charge 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction. On $1 transactions this eats about a third of the revenue. So the question to my wonderful readers is: what’s a better (spelled c-h-e-a-p-e-r) credit card processor?
