Digital Thoughts: Bridging the Gap, Part Two
For better and worse, our industry possesses some unique traits that, at the moment, enable a variety of employees to effectively live two work lives. With one group, the biggest threat does not involve trade secrets and conflict of interest so much as the precedent it sets.
Who Owns the Gmail Mark ?
Google Inc., the world's most widely used online search engine with a market cap hovering $90 billion, yesterday bowed to the demands of a British company just a fraction of its size
Adware dead?

I have a confession to make: a few months ago I glimpsed into the future and decided not to tell anyone about it. I wanted to keep all the mind-blowing revelations for my company and myself even though it could have benefited just about everyone in online marketing.

Remember that your affiliate manager can be a great resource for you on a lot more than just suggesting new offers to run.
Ask what they are hearing about industry trends and developments that impact your business.
Keeping up with all of the latest industry info can be a real challenge. Make sure you are tapping into all of your resources to make it easier.

The facebook crackdown on freebie campaigns definitely hurts.
However it will likely open up some inventory at slightly lower bid prices so keep testing different offers on facebook and you could find the next big thing.

GO GLOBAL - the vast majority of affiliates are still focused on US traffic.
Branch out to English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand to get your feet wet. Once comfortable
with your efforts there, try expanding into non-English speaking countries.
Use an inexpensive translating service to make sure your ads make
grammatical sense, and get ready to have your ads span the globe!

When in doubt ask questions.
It's always better to ask questions than to make statements, whether it be on the phone or email.
You'll get more help and get business done faster having a conversation rather than trying to sound like you know everything.

" Every week one of the affiliate tips reminds us of the importance of
"picking up the phone and calling".
Well, how about trying a video chat
instead. Video chats are an even better way to connect with old and new affiliates. Not to mention they can make your day stuck in the office a little more entertaining."

Some people never learn...doing the same thing over & over expecting a different result is pure insanity, but many people in our business do this constantly.
I just heard a story today of someone who continues to repeat
their bad business practices and as a result will lose yet another quality team member. Change is almost always challenging, but it makes us better.
Learn from your mistakes so you can better yourself and your results!

Discovering a relationship on a personal level may be the difference between consistent business and a one-time high five on a single campaign.
Treat your position as your own personal business.
If you took this approach, would you treat relationships differently - with longevity in mind?
Learn your publishers' business and add value where you can; send the best converting creatives without being asked and, if you have room, set payout increases before they can find the same offer through another source.

Value your partnerships that you have - by looking at the relationships as long term, will help you to make the right choices and grow your business by adding multiple revenue streams from one company.
A business partnership is more important than going for the quick extra buck, and circumventing your already established relationships.

Direct Agents
An important area to strengthen is client services.
In order to stay connected, schedule a daily report to be sent to your advertiser or affiliate. This can go a long way when it comes time to increase budgets and delivery.

We are nearing the end of Q1. Have you reached the goals you set for yourself?
Make sure to reflect on this quarter and figure out what you did right and what you did wrong in order to have a more successful Q2 for you and your affiliates. Make what you learned in the past count!

It's critical to diversify your network with a well rounded offer base of varying verticals and categories.
Due to political, financial, and other socioeconomic factors which are always constantly in flux, to have any one majority dependency on any one vertical / category could potentially be disastrous.
Keeping a good, well rounded campaign mix of at least thirty plus categories is the only sure fire way to hedge your bets and leave enough cushion for global events and circumstances, which exist outside of our control.

You can;t soar with the eagles, if you spend your time hanging with the chickens (replaceable with chicks also :-)).
Seek people who are going where you want to go, and "conspire to aspire before you expire (I can not take credit for this phrase)."
Your surroundings and environment are crucial, vigilantly secure who enters your inner-circle. Your friends are a forecast of your future. Hold for it.....a cheap plug - for more life changing tidbits go to www.rickyahuja.com

Always continue to learn and grow your online marketing skill set, but keep in mind that it's your hard work that will deliver results."

Keep an arsenal of helpful websites at your disposal.
Use these to do research and investigate traffic sources wisely. For example, quantcast.com will help plan & find your audience if you are SEO/PPC marketing & alexa.com is great for search analytics.
