How to Grab My Affiliate Links and Use Them on Twitter

sistasense — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:24:32 +0000

As soon as you sign up (link here), I send you the link to join my Affiliate Program via e-Junkie.com. When you create your e-junkie account you will get your own unique Affiliate ID, which is used to track any sales produced from your referrals. In this post I’ll walk you through the process of getting the affiliate links you need to promote my products. You can also get this information via the video tutorial I posted on youtube [click here to watch] and while your there subscribe to my youtube channel for updates on new videos.

Here are the steps:

1. I am going to assume you already signed up and clicked the e-junkie link I sent you in your New Affiliate Welcome letter. Now that you have an e-junkie, affiliate account. Go and login [here is the url].

2. When you login, the first import things you will see: Your Affiliate ID and the ‘Get Affiliate Code’ option, which is where you will find Text Links to promote your affiliate products. [Click here if you need help with text links]

3. Click the ‘Get Affiliate Code’ option. It’s possible that you have joined other people’s Affiliate programs via e-junkie. Select my name “LaShanda Henry” for the drop down menu and click Get Affiliate Code.

4. There you will find the html code for hoplink for my main products sales page. You can cut-and-paste that code into your blog, a forum, your website and it will automatically create an HTML Text link that says ‘Click here to visit LaShanda Henry’ (You can’t change the link code, but you can change that text to something like: Checkout Marketing eBooks and eCourses for Newbie Entrepreneurs by LaShanda Henry). If you just wanted the webpage url of your affiliate link to post on a website like twitter, only take the text inside the quotes href=”…”. The text inside the quotes is your affiliate link. [Click here if you need help with text links]

5. I sell different products. If you want to promote a specific product, scroll to the middle of that e-junkie page and you will find ‘Get Product Specific Affiliate Links’. Use the drop down menu to grab the code for the product you want to promote. Remember the code given is to create an HTML Text link for that product. If you want to promote that product on a website link twitter, you can’t just cut and paste that code. You have to first copy ONLY your Affiliate link from the code given. You can find your affiliate link inside the quotes just before the text: href=”

Here are a few examples: Do not use this code, it does not include your affiliate information. I am just posting my affiliate links to show you how this works.

Here is the text link to my main page: Click here to visit LaShanda Henry.

The HTML Code looks like this:
Click here to visit LaShanda Henry.

If I wanted to share my affiliate link on a website or my blog, I could just paste all the HTML Code above into my blog’s text box. BUT if I wanted to post this on twitter I would do it as follows:

Copy the text in the quotes where I see: href=”This is the Text I want to Copy, it is my affiliate link”
My Affiliate Link is: https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=29267&c=ib&aff=29267

My Twitter Post might look like this:
Have you seen the Sistas Making Money page? If your into making money online it’s work checking out : https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=29267&c=ib&aff=29267

Once I post this on Twitter, my affiliate link will turn e turned into tiny text that looks like this:

Getting More Marketing Material: Banners, Articles, and Videos

You can only get text links on e-junkie right now, BUT I have added to sistasense.com graphic banners and other marketing material that you can use to promote my products. To get this material and add it to your blog, website, or newsletter click here. You will need your affiliate ID to access this material. You can get your affiliate id from your e-junkie account. I mentioned where your ID was located at the beginning of this post.

The Most Important Step

Never just post your links and walk away. Always test your links, to make sure they are working correctly so you’ll receive commissions for sales you promote. I recently visited one blogger who is promoting my products but her affiliate links were not working correctly. Bad Links = No Money so always test your links!

Starting Your Own Affiliate Program

sistasense — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:39:04 +0000

For the last few weeks I’ve been buzzing about my new affiliate program, which has turned into a few people asking the question, “What program / service do I use to track my affiliates?”. After some searching, I decided to use 1shoppingcart. I was also looking at clickbank, but I’ll tell you why I chose the first option.

If you want to sell a digital product / information product and you are looking for a reasonably priced / robust affiliate management service, clickbank is a great option. They are affordable and they have network of thousands of experienced affiliate marketers looking for new products to promote, which means you don’t have to spend SOOO much time looking for affiliates trying to get them to signup to your program. Clickbank is practically perfect, but not completely. During my research I found that it’s not very flexible, as far as allowing you to really customize your pages like you want to. Now if you have no clue what I mean by that, then your clearly not in need of intricate customization and what clickbank offers just might be enough for you.

1shoppingcart costs more, but I think you get more bang for your buck as far as being able to control your money, your affiliates, and the design of your pages. Plus I was able to do a 30 Day Trial of 1shoppingcart for $3, so I got to play around with ALL the features for 4 weeks to really know if it was right for me. With all that control comes responsiblities, so you have to make sure you will pay your affiliates on time and that’s VERY important. You don’t want unhappy affiliates giving your program bad press. Also keep in mind that by law, you are required to have any of your affiilates who make over $600 fill out a w-2 from. The pro of starting your affiliate program via websites like glam, linkshare, or commission junction is that they do the payouts for you but you’ve got to have pretty large and lucrative businesses to be applicable to join some of those affiliate networks.

I’ve got a small and thriving operation and I wanted to be able to manage it on my own, so 1shoppingcart was the best choice for me. During my research I also came across ABESTWEB, which is an affiliate marketing forum great for chatting with other people who have and/or want to create their own affiliate programs. If I come across any interesting issues or highlights along the way I’ll be sure to let you know.

Learn how I pay my rent with Google Adsense so you can too

SistaSense — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:42:32 +0000

The first official PodClass in the Work and Web Women series is ‘How I Pay My Rent Using Google Adsense’. In this edition of the Work and Web Women Series (www.workandwebwomen.com) I am sharing my Adsense Secrets with you. This site is for both men and women entrepreneurs wanting to learn how to better work the web.

Like many web entrepreneurs, I’ve used Adsense for several years, but for a long time I wasn’t seeing much of a return. After making less than $20 in about 2 years, I decided to get serious about the program so that I could make sense of what Google Adsense is all about. And not, after doing the research and putting plans into practice I make $20 on Adsense in a matter of hours.

If you think about it, if you make $30 on google adsense every day for a month, you can generate an extra $900 a month just from hosting free ads on your site! It’s a great thought, which has not turned into my reality. I pay my rent with my Google Adense account, and so can you. Listen to this PodClass today, so that you can learn how to better work the web tomorrow! Click here to listen or visit workandwebwomen.com.

New PodClasses Include: Simple SEO | Blogging Tips | Startup Tips from a Work at Home Mom
