Hi, Gom here from the Philippines. Amazon isn't so popular here in my country as people here buy online using sites like Shopee or Lazada, so I have little knowledge if people

I use to like to promote Christian and created a Christian website about book but give up. And I think you only have 180 days if you don't make a sale. Your Amazon associate account got delete. Mine already delete two times.

So if you want to promote, you got to work harder and make sake.

Thanks for the realistic reply. It's the replies like this that I am looking for. Courageous to bring out the real scoop.

I both buy books from Amazon and sell books I have published on the KDP platform, so short answer Yes.

Thank you for the short answer YES.

And most of my sales on KDP are of the paperback versions, not the Kindle.

By the way, may I ask, what's KDP?

It's Amazon's publishing platform. It stands for Kindle Direct Publishing, but you can publish your books on it as Kindles, Paperbacks and Hardbacks.

Oh, I see... Thanks!

Hey Gom,

There's nothing I like to do better than to grab a good book and a cup of coffee, and go sit out on my backyard swing with my dog... just sitting there, reading and enjoying my favourite room of my home. 🥰

Hope you find this helpful.

I have sold a few paperbacks from Amazon KDP!

What physical books I do own, I can get at my local bookstore. However, if it's something used, I do tend to order off Amazon or Ebay at a lower price.

I may be an outlier though as I can do both physical and audible books.

Isaiah 🙂

I have a friend confessed to me that his privilege to write blog posts in our online business community here has been revoked by the WA admins. The probable reason for revocati

Marion has a good answer Gomer

He needs to let Kyle or Carson (one or the other, not both) know that he realizes his mistake and won't ever do it again. That usually works. But repeated infringements can result in a permanent ban. As he can't send a private message he could leave a message on Kyle's profile page or he could use the form at https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/contact
which would be more private.

This question has been asked elsewhere and the advice is to PM Kyle and ask for a reprieve🧐

Maybe related or similar to older questions but not exactly the same as the question I asked.

Thanks. I will tell this friend he need to send Kyle a private message.

👍🏼🧐

Problem there is that the person whose write access has been revoked cannot send private messages.

Okay. Thanks for that, Mommy Marion. Maybe what he can do is, use the form at https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/contact

I'm using Pretty Link to shorten affiliate links and to make them look great so people won't easily learn it's an affiliate link. You know, there are people out there who are e

I work for the Awin.com and ShareASale.com affiliate networks. We're just fine with affiliates using Pretty Links. It's a great way to manage your links, and it works just fine with our systems. I believe all of the major networks have no problems with Pretty Links, though I'm not sure that all of the smaller networks or in-house programs are compatible.

FYI, don't use it on Pinterest. Pinterest does not like shortened links of any kind.

Thanks for the caution on Pinterest. Okay, noted.

Not all affiliate companies allow link shortening

1) It depends upon the affiliate program. Amazon doesn't allow link cloaking and others might not as well.

2) You shouldn't be hiding affiliate links from readers. Making links pretty is one thing, so they are shorter. But hiding them is against FTC rules. You have to disclose on every blog post, video, social media post, or email newsletter that you are using affiliate links. The FTC wants all affiliate and partners to be transparent to the readers. Cloaking the link in an attempt to deceive readers is against most affiliate programs.

3) Most people don't even know what an affiliate link vs a non-affiliate link looks like unless they are affiliates themselves. They also aren't jealous of what affiliates make and refuse to use them. Most people don't put that much thought into it. If I don't like the merchant I'm taken to with a link, I will always search Amazon or Chewy for that brand. Heck, unless they're affiliates they might not know what an affiliate link is at all, let alone what it looks like. People don't put that much effort into it. They want convenience, cheap, fast delivery, reliable vendors. They don't care at all about affiliate links.

4) They WILL care if they feel lied to though, which ruins trust. If your readers don't trust you, they won't use your links. Part of affiliate marketing is building trust with your audience.

5) I don't cloak any of my links, except if I'm using one on social media because affiliate links are ugly. But on my website, I don't bother because it doesn't matter how ugly it is, it's not fully visible unless clicked on.

It is empowering to have contrasting viewpoints as I got a different one from ChrystopherJ. Anyway, thanks. I will consider both.

I use it for years without problems.

I use it and Kyle shows how to use it in the training.

I mean, even if the affiliate link gets omitted, you still get credits for the sales generated?

Does anyone know here of a digital product sold in Clickbank that compliments our program here in Wealthy Affiliate? Something that's not scammy or getting a lot of refunds. Pr

I see you got some answers. All the best.

Gomer there are stacks and I have them on my website

Thanks, my friend. I will be heading to your website to check.

They are in the left hand footer area as I'm in the process of changing my theme...

Here's a Training by Veronica1 that might be helpful for you. Veronica seems very knowledgeable and experienced with Clickbank so if you PM her she may be able to recommend some of their programs for you to promote.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help by answering your question directly but hopefully I've at least pointed you in the right direction to someone who may be able to.
Cheers
Rich :-)

I like their mode of payment to affiliates, Clickbank pays weekly for bank transfer or "every other week" for checks, I'm interested in promoting and making money with them but can't seem to find a good program there that's not tarnished or full of complaints. Like for example, I found Patrick Chan's programs attractive but a Google search has revealed dozens of reviews (some are from WA members) saying Patrick Chan's programs are bad.

Does anyone here know or can suggest a program in Clickbank that's good to promote and complimenting ours here?

Good luck I hope you find one and if you do let us know. I feel the same way about Clickbank although I've made money with them in the past. You can PM me if you find anything.
All the best,
Don

So, it seems there are only two of us here who are interested.

With almost every country in the world implementing lockdowns because of COVID-19, I find the need to promote "purely digital products" as ecommerce involving the shipment of physical products like Amazon, temporarily problematic, with authorities limiting the number of couriers roaming around to just those who are delivering basic goods like food.
