Affiliate Marketing 101

Vol. 34...have you read them all?

Hello dear friendZ! Hope October has kicked off to a lovely start for you and yours! Today brings us a post I’ve been meaning to organize for a while now: Affiliate 101. I’ve done some deep dives lately, and while I hope those continue to be helpful for those of us knee-deep in our affiliate journeys, I have quite a bit of new followerZ (thank you for the support!) and thought it’s probably a great time to hash out a good old fundamentals post. 

• If you’re new to affiliate marketing, THIS POST IS FOR YOU! 

• If you’re in PR but want to get into affiliate marketing, THIS POST IS FOR YOU! 

• If you’re not new to it, but need to get your manager or client on board, THIS POST IS FOR YOU! 

• If you need a cheat sheet to help you write a blog or build an introductory presentation, THIS POST IS FOR YOU SIS! 

Get to know the affiliate platforms and partner types, what to expect for setup, and a few of my own special must-have tidbits for running a successful program. It’s a great page to bookmark for general info, and the links I’ve included will help you dig deeper if you’d like to!
