The Marketing Professional Blog is going through a metamorphosis so to speak. I am infusing a Leadership essence into the Professional Marketing tips, tricks, news, and reviews that I have been bringing you. This is being done somewhat out of neccessity and a little out of a more tight knit way of producing unique and valuable content that is both educational and entertaining all at the same time.
This means that I will be pulling down the blog that I used to publish at: http://www.MarkEdwardBrown.com
Just because that blog is going offline does not mean that the quality content that is there will disappear, quite the contrary. I will migrate it to this blog thus making the marriage between Leadership and Professional marketing information a world class mix of information that you will want to come back for time after time.
I will still blog primarily about my A – B – C system that consistently produces profits, that being:
1) Affiliate Marketing
2) Blog Marketing
3) Click Thru Marketing
I will be adding in some new areas that I have never blogged about before such as:
- How to create credibility and why that is important to professionalism and leadership
- Why being an independent media producer is crucial to establishing your brand
- How to apply leadership techniques to your marketing so that you are clearly identified as a professional that clients and customers will want to do business with without a second thought
With that being said, come back often, leave comments (I answer them all) and tweet about what you have read here.
Always to Your Success,
Mark Edward Brown

Some affiliate marketing programs will pay for each click through rather than actual product sales, however the most widely used format is to pay you a percentage of the sale price. Even if visitors don’t make a purchase immediately, almost all programs offer cookie duration, normally consisting of 30 – 90 days. What this means, is that as long as the visitors have the cookie in their cache which is stored on their computer, you’ll still receive a profit from the sale, this is not universal and every program will have their own time limits.
A few ways to focus on affiliate marketing are by promoting a number of affiliate products on a single page or Single products on an individual page, product promotions disguised as product reviews are another popular affiliate marketing strategy. Another form of Affiliate Marketing Strategy is just to host some advertising banners to raise some income from your site, for instance, if your site is about car mechanics, it is more likely that your visitor will want a product that relates to car mechanics and not about knitting, so relevance equals success.
Professional affiliate marketing programs all work basically the same way, the company you are an affiliate for will have a piece of code that you will need to apply to each click from your site, making it possible for every click from your visitors to be tracked and sales credited to your account. It is crucial that you implement this code into your page correctly, or you may be sending visitors to the company without receiving any profit as the majority of snippets in the code will contain a unique user ID, which the company uses to distinguish which site sent traffic.
