This post is a little less on the diabetic side and more on the business side of things. So if you don’t want to hear about marketing then today’s post is not for you, come back tomorrow for Fired Up Friday. My career is internet marketing. That is just the general aspect of it, but there is a lot more detailed things I do, but that is a good generalization. One of the things that I do is affiliate management. Here is a quick explanation of affiliate marketing. You have a blog or website. You put a banner or ad on your website. If somebody clicks on that ad and then proceeds to buy something from the company, you receive a commission for it. That is one form, the other form is being paid every time somebody clicks on the ad, like Google Ad Sense.
Why am I talking about this? Because there has been a new online community that has come about over the past few months that I am part of and think it is an excellent idea for anybody who wants to start making money from their current website or websites that they have always thought about building. I know a lot of people in the diabetes community don’t want to put ads on their sites and that is perfectly fine. I think that having ads on your site is a great thing. As long as you are staying true to yourself and not just promoting things because it makes you money, then you are doing it right. For example, if you use Freestyle Lite test strips and would never use any other because you think they are the best, why not put a Freestyle ad on your site?
Or maybe you own another site. I own over 30 domains, some active, some are not. I write 3 blogs, some daily and some weekly. I make a lot of money off of those sites. Why? Because I am straight forward from the very beginning. I don’t hide things, I don’t write reviews I don’t believe. I don’t talk about products if I don’t truly believe in what I am saying about them. It is called transparency (link to post about transparency on another blog I write).
Anyway, onto the community. It is called Third Tribe Marketing. It is not free, there is a monthly membership. If you are interested in making money off of a blog or website, then trust me, you will quickly make your money back from the things that you learn on this site. That link that I have put there is an affiliate link. So like I said earlier, I am always up front. By you clicking on that link and you signing up as a member I will receive a commission for it. I am a member of this community as well and paying for it, so obviously I believe in it.
