Today I was doing some grocery shopping and they happened to have a book stand beside the till in Eurospar of all places, probably for those impulse buys! Guess what it worked! I saw they had a copy of The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. I remember reading about The Accidental Billionaires a couple of months ago on CNET.com, it’s the story about the founding of Facebook that they are turning into a film. Being the geek that I am, I had to pick myself up a copy.
Although some of the reviews on cnet.com stated that a lot of the story is ficticious and unsubstatiated, I’m looking forward to the read.
Sometimes its good to get away from the computer for a while and chill out. I’ll let you know how the book turns out!
Well after 18 days I’ve finally reached my first Twitter milestone. We’ve got a 1000 followers. In honour of of this achievement, I’d like to share with you the twitter tools I use and why I like to use them.
Twollow is a great service whch will allow you to automatically follow people on twitter based on the keywords they use in their tweets. It is a great way to follow people with the same interests as you!. For Affiliate Marketing purposes you can use it to follow people interested in your niche. Hopefully they will follow you back
Twist is a nice little app that allows you to monitor trends in twitter. Want to see what the best time of the week to tweet about Affiliate Marketing? Want to see who the top tweeters are about your niche? Twist can help! Below is a graph monitoring tweets about Affiliate Marketing.
Twitalyser will allow you to evaluate the activity of any Twitter user and report on relative influence, signal-to-noise ratio, generosity, velocity, clout, and other useful measures of success in social media.
I love Qwitter.com because its developed by an irish company. It has been developed by Eoin and the lads at contrast.ie . Qwitter e-mails you when someone stops following you on Twitter with a message that details what the last tweet you did which caused them to stop following you.
Basically to embed links using a service called Linkedtube. It will create a button like the one you see embedded in the Youtube Video above. This is a great tool for the Affiliate Marketer. Now if you use video on your affiliate sites, you can embed your affiliate links.
To use the service is quite simple. Just fill in the Youtube Video ID, the button text, the url you want to link to, the Hover Title and Hover Text. Then just click save and get the code to place in your website
I just watched an excellent webinar on MySpace MyAds by Lisa from the MySpace MyAds team and was rewarded with an excellent gift at the end, a free $25 coupon thats valid for one week.
So here’s the code : web06250925
I really like the targeting buckets of MySpace, they have refined their demographic targeting right down to what colour underwear your wearing!! You can choose to target by marital status, occupation, interests, hobbies, right down to the football teams you support. My other favourite thing about MyAds is the cost, the traffic is a lot cheaper than google, you can pick up traffic for as little as 1c.
So have fun with your free $25 and remember try and grow it using affiliate marketing!!
