Today’s Monday Marketing Meeting addresses other areas that you as a self-representing artist may be using to help you support your art habit—affiliate marketing.
I like using affiliate marketing. If I find a good product, I want to share it with you. We’re all trying to make a living at what we love. If something makes your marketing or business admin easier, I’ll share. I cannot tell you how much I’ve learned from other artists about good products that have helped me.
Many businesses use a service like Link Share or Share a Sale as a central site for managing ads. Ad creation is easy. Active marketers are continually providing new ads and banners. That part of it is great.
However, the code generated by these sites is deprecated, filled with uppercase. Link Share still uses deprecated code that will make your site invalid. I clean up the code after I copy it, but frankly, that’s such a pain.
I try to write my sites with valid code, but I often find that it’s the code that I get from third parties that breaks it. I know, this is more of a personal gripe, but I sure would like to skip the code edit every time I go to add a banner.
