Your writing style is so beautiful.

What you described, is the honest and respectable affiliate marketing, sadly which is portrayed by some as 'sell sell sell'.

I agree with what you wrote. Providing value is a must. And building relationships with your visitors and customers is necessary to have success in internet marketing.

'Paying your fans' sounds so much more heart warming. Funnily enough, I added a link to a wonderful ebook to the side of my blog just this morning. I would only ever add something that I had personally already read and loved for the reasons you have expressed.<br><br>I'm looking forward to part two :)<br>Best wishes,<br>Eleanor Hi Everett :)

Selling digital goods based on trust, respect and a mutual interest in improving each others life. It's people like you that put a positive shine on a system that has been tainted by some many others who only care about making money without caring about their readers/clients/customers.<br><br>And that's the reason why I asked you for your take on creating remarkable products ;) yeah yeah, the new internet marketing has arrived.

If I was to affiliate for products that I didn't think were useful, that would only hurt my relationship with my readers.

Because the Internet breaks down all of the barriers, there is inevitably going to be products out there that don't live up to expectations. It's our responsibility not to support work that doesn't matter, and instead put our energy behind people who are doing good work.

Thanks for the comment Charley!

I've wavered on Affiliate Marketing. Because I have some decent disposal income, I've purchased several products in the Minimalist and Marketing industry. There are so many good ones out there, that I had trouble choosing which to become an affiliate for, so I decided to be an affiliate for none of them.

But then two days ago I made an exception for Karol's new product and I had a modest day, but my best day on the internet for bringing in money.

I think if it's not overused, it can be an excellent idea, and in your case, Everett, I think you use it properly because you don't bludgeon your readers over the head with new affiliate products every week.

I've also been approached for the first time for people to advertise on my site, something I've not considered before and am unsure whether it is a good move or not.

Anyway, thank you for the tremendous and thoughtful article. I look forward to your case study in a few days.

- Charley
