Hi, WA Friends

Just a short post to update you on what's going on with my guitar site.

I finally got invited to join the Fender guitar affiliate program and the Fender Play teaching platform. I own dozens of Fender guitars and amps, so I know their merchandise is top-notch.

Fender Affiliate Program

This is a standard affiliate link program for Fender dot com, which sells products such as guitars, amplifiers, effects pedals, cables, straps, etc., directly to consumers.

They have a "Mod Shop," where you can essentially build a guitar to your specifications. For example, you can choose your neck (maple or rosewood), body shape and color, pickups, hardware, etc. It's getting a lot of attention, especially among seasoned guitar players.

This program pays on a sliding-tier commission program. They set me at the lowest tier with a 4% commission and a 30-day cookie. The commission rate would increase at the next tier level, which is determined by website traffic and sales volume.

I believe (but not sure) I would need 50,000 page views a month for Tier Two, and I'm only at 25,000, so I have a long way to go.

The online music stores have various advantages over Fender dot com in that they sell many brands of musical equipment and offer things like free payment plans, extended service agreements, and expedited free shipping.

I sell a ton of musical equipment on Amazon because of the two-day free shipping for Prime members and the free return shipping. Amazon has a 3% commission, so not that much lower, but the cookie is only one day. However, I sell lots of non-musical merchandise, which helps make up for the short cookie duration.

Fender Play Platform๏ปฟ

What's more exciting is that Fender gave me access to market their "Fender Play" video teaching platform, which is a CPA program. It contains thousands of step-by-step video lessons for playing electric, acoustic, and bass guitar, as well as ukelele.

It has dedicated tablet and smartphone apps.

Here's the HTML ad I put in my right sidebar:

Players can choose between learning songs, chords, scales and arpeggios, music theory, etc. Their "advanced" stuff is not so advanced, maybe high-level intermediate. Many of the video classes are taught by big-name guitar players

Fender Play has become one of the most popular guitar learning platforms on the planet, available in multiple languages!

That's about it. Hopefully, they'll both be a step in the right direction, but we'll see.

Keep On Rockin'! ๐Ÿค˜

Good morning Frank,

I'm really pleased to hear that you have been able to join the Fender affiliate programme; that's great! It's also good that, as a guitar player, you really know their products; that's a huge bonus and great for blogging!

I really hope that your commissions increase and things quickly move forward. It looks like you are making good progress.

Have a great day.

Roy

Thanks, Roy

I really appreciate that coming from a fellow guitar player!๐Ÿ˜Ž

Iโ€™m psyched about being able to market their Fender Play video instructional platform.

Itโ€™s reasonably priced and very popular, with thousands of high quality lessons for all player levels.

Thank you, Frank!

It's always a pleasure to see here members getting breakthroughs etc.!

The great thing is that Fender products are well-known, so you know that you are promoting a solid brand.

The lessons sound great; it's something that I would probably look at once I start again properly. We know the importance of being trained properly from our Wealthy Affiliate experience!

Wishing you every success with your promotions and a very happy Sunday to you.

Hi, Jeff

Building a guitar site is why I actually came to WA.

I started with a health-related site as an initial learn opportunity and made most of my mistakes there.

Currently, I canโ€™t run two sites without taking time away from my wife or music.

As a physician, Iโ€™m very reluctant to outsource and have someone else write health articles with my name associated with them.

Anyway, the guitar site has always been โ€œmy baby!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Rock On! ๐Ÿค˜
Frank ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽธ

Very awesome, indeed, my friend!

Jeff๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค˜๐ŸŽธ

Congratulations Frank. Well done.

Thanks, Mazie!

I appreciate it! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Frank ๐Ÿ‘

Hey Frank, that is fantastic! Hope you do well with it.

Thanks, Larry!

Iโ€™m planning on doing the best I can with the opportunity. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Frank ๐ŸŽธ
