OMG I AM AN UNSTOPPABLE EFFIN GENIUS!
So, in the true spirit of stumbling around in the dark, I stumbled into "Linkeshare" an affiliate service that connects bloggers to over 500 major merchants allowing them to earn revenue by incorporating links/banners on their sites.
Again, with no idea wtf I was doing ~ I scrolled through page after page of their associates, and selected companies that I would feel comfortable standing behind and/or would like to support. I was unprepared to receive a rejection notice later that day. ("What - are they crazy?! Refusing free advertising?") Chalking it up as simply somethinguptheirbutt, I sucked it up & moved on. Until the next day when yet another rejection email rolled in and hurt my delicate feelings. And then another, and another..
SO.
OFFENSIVE.
But thankfully not EVERYONE (just almost everyone) refused my requests to sell their products and make them money. And while I have to admit, I'm still a little mystified, I remain excited to try out the LinkShare program with the few folks that are willing to give my lowly site a chance. From my experiments with the Amazon affiliate program, as it stands, I have little to zero hope that this will reap much of a financial return, however, it's still an interesting experience and valuable learning opportunity.
#mindblown?
I'm curious about other folks' experience with working with affiliates, and would love to hear about them....
XoXo,
