Jill,
the answer to your question depends upon how you are looking at it.
If you are the business owner, then it will depend upon which shopping cart system you are using
If you are the affiliate, then it does not matter, because it’s the business owner who decides what
affiliate program to use.

so are you coming from the side of the affiliate or the business owner?

Thanks! What’s a good affilliate program to use?

Nicholas,

You hit the nail on the head!
Yes, we all get caught up in the next ‘bright shinny object’ and often forget strategy.

Your words provide a workable and savvy conceptual framework for this important topic. Strategy before tactics, where possible, is something I need to keep in mind daily. Thank you for reminding me to keep the horse in front of the cart.

Thank you Christina for clearly explaining these options and clearing up confusion for me!

I really like your WP tips and articles, I’m venturing out and doing a Web Site – if it wasn’t for you I would not have known a web page was possible in WP I thought it was just for blogs. Yes I will be using WP.Org and hosting with bluehost, thank you for your recommendations.

My only other comment is that there are so many free themes to chose from but many don’t appeal for a professional consultant site – yes it may be worth paying for one – do you have any Theme recommendations? I know you use Flexx and I Themes Builder – why do you like these?

Arona,

That is my goal: to explain things in easy ways so that people can understand and implement these online concepts.

That is why I teach WordPress as a website

Thank you. This was a helpful article.

You do a very good job explaining terms and concepts.

I have passed the article on to other people.

Gary,

Article marketing is a good one, and it’s something I also do. I wrote this article when I started thinking about why PPC would not work well for my next Website Creation Workshop which starts in about 2 months. Because for an event driven product/program PPC does not work as well, and I wanted to share that

Hi Christina,

Thanks for this. You have given us good food for thought. We have some evergreen and some event based, and we really hadn’t thought much about different marketing approaches. One thing we have done is to write short niche articles and place them in article directories. These frequently get picked up by other blogs and websites and serve as ‘evergreen’ traffic generators for us.

Kathleen,

yes I see people running out to buy pay-per-click when that’s not the right kind of traffic for them
