Post 104 – My Affiliate Marketing Blog
Well it’s been a few weeks again since I last posted in my blog here and a lot has happened in that time.
Firstly around 3 -4 weeks ago I got my Pinterest account suspended then shut down completely. Even after me appealing. I am still not really sure why it happened, they don’t tell a lot just I did something against their rules? This is not uncommon as it happens in all of the Social Media platforms as many others before me have found out.
All I was doing at the time was following people and their pin boards, which is a big part of Pinterest. The reason I was following this particular people was, I had joined a private group and part of that is to follow all others inside the group. I had only followed about 10 when everything just froze up. I could still access my account but not do anything. At first, I thought there was some kind of glitch on their side. It wasn’t until I got an email sometime later that I found out my account was suspended.
So, to say I was a pissed and down was an understatement. Almost 3 months of work setting things up and getting it just getting it ticking over nicely and bang…gone.
After a couple of days reflection, I decided to go again with Pinterest as I really like this advertising platform and think it will be great for my business. So, I opened up a new account and got back to work setting things up again like before but being a bit more cautious.
Again, it’s a lot of work but I kind of enjoy it, except for having to reset thing up again as before, but new advertising pins, I compose and introduce is very gratifying as I have developed them myself and not outsourced. Which was one good thing as I still had copies of all the original images to use so that has saved quite a bit of time. I am not yet back to where I was previously but getting there.
I have also branched out into some other affiliate products as I thought I need to diversify a bit not have all my eggs in one basket and there is plenty to choose from. So, I have gone for the Home and Garden niche and have a couple of things set up on a different web site. More on that later.
I am also eagerly awaiting my advanced FREE copy of Dean Holland’s new book “The Iceberg Effect” which I should receive shortly and I am sure it will be great reading and full of information on Affiliat Marketing. Then, once the book is fully available, I will proceed with the promoting of it, within my own Co-Branded Funnel that is being set up for me inside Internet Profits.
So, plenty to keep me going in my business. But the problem can be, finding the time to get things done with the day job getting in the way HA! HA
Bye for now
