So, after talking to James, Arlene, and a handful of their students, Bronwyn made the life-changing decision to resign from her job as an affiliate manager and start her own online business as an affiliate.
Bronwyn tells listeners all about the mistakes she made as she painstakingly built her first site and how she used James’ Affiliate Marketer’s Handbook to bring her back around to the 8 steps, which she applied to achieve her own online success.

Ed Keay-Smith Shares the Ins and Outs of Finding A Domain Name and The Top Three Ways To Make Your Domain Name More Profitable
Ed Keay-Smith is an expert in domain names and domaining. Ed lives in Australia and has been so successful in his industry that he is partaking in what he calls a "mini retirement" and taking time to travel the world with his family.
In this edition of Coffee Talk Smith shares with listeners all of the ins and outs of finding a domain name, the top three ways to make your name profitable, and the costly mistakes affiliates make when choosing a name.
Listen as Keay-Smith discusses in depth one costly mistake that affiliates often make when registering their domain name. "Do not, under any circumstances, register a domain name based on any company name or trademarks or anything like that. In today's society of litigation, you are safest to stick with generic types of domain names that have no attachments."
Keay-Smith also reveals to listeners the shocking difference in market value between .com and .net domain names. "Pizza.com was bought in 1994 for 20 dollars and sold recently for 2.6 million dollars at an auction. Pizza.net is for sale at just over 1 million dollars - .net is like the poorer cousin of the .com."
Coffee Talk with Christian Chapa on Evaluating Lead Based Offers

The name of the game is minimal consumer effort, according to Chapa. Limiting the amount of work required on the consumer end increases your conversion. Chapa explains what to analyze in a lead based offer and how to develop a rapport to maximize your profit with every single consumer. Limiting the amount of required fields and employing audio and video are just two of a list of tips discussed, each lending more and more profit to your company at the end of the day.
Coffee Talk with Sean Hendrickson from oneNetworkDirect.com on Affiliate Programs
In this Coffee Talk, Hendrickson and Martell discuss important information for those affiliates just getting started in the businesses, including what to look for in a merchant. The most important thing, Sean notes, is that a merchant must have loyalty, as well as a built in trust factor because of that loyalty. He notes that a good brand might be more expensive, but is recognized and has a brand loyalty that causes viewers to buy.
Another item the two discuss is making sure you, the affiliate, are getting paid. Hendrickson suggests making sure your site is one that you would buy from, and that if you have doubts, odds are others will too. He also suggests making sure you're getting credit for all your work, and click through your links and complete a test transaction. This way, there is no need to worry about not receiving credit. Also make sure that your site shows that it is secure, as this will give customers a greater peace of mind and make them more likely to buy, giving you better conversion rates.
According to Hendrickson, what's attracting companies to affiliates is, "one word, distribution." By getting the product to a number of affiliates, it gets out to others. Affiliates enable companies to distribute a product effectively to a large number of people, making it a successful way of selling that product. Hendrickson's suggests text links as a supplement for advertising with banners or other ads on the site. They can be included in articles, or a simple note that says "click here," but text links allow a different way to have your audience access the merchant without relying solely on banner ads. Also discussed is the need for simple sites with limited numbers of links, as leaving too many options for the viewer can lead to low conversion rates.
