- Did you make a special effort last month to win the Wii console award or is it your standard work?
- What do you think about Play65partners affiliate program? If you could change it, what would you do?
As for the program itself, I would add better marketing tools (banners, content). In general, I think the Play65 affiliate program is good. What can be improved is the Play65 product itself.
- Do you play on Play65?
I don’t play on Play65 as I don’t know how to play backgammon.
- Which internet marketing tools do you use to promote?
I have some customized banners, but promote mostly through my forum. I do not use any default tools.
- What are the things you enjoy the most about being an affiliate? What things you hate about it?
It is an easy question, which is common for most affiliates. The good thing about it is that you are the only boss of your time. The bad thing about it is that you might find yourself working alone at home, having dinner with yourself and talking to your cat/dog.
- What tips can you give to a new affiliate in this business?
The best tip I can give is that you should simply understand what you promote and what your target segment is, is. If you promote backgammon, for example, try to concentrate on the areas where people actually heard about the game.
