Affiliate Marketing

 

On the last episode, DM49, Michael made an off-handed comment about wanting to talk about Affiliate marketing, what it is and how it works.

 

Michael starts out explaining for those who don’t know, affiliate marketing is a way that companies can acquire new customers or leads.

When I got started online. I got started with what was called CPA marketing or cost per acquisition marketing.

And what that was was for each individual who signed up for a company, I got paid between 50 to $100.

So affiliate marketing is a way that website publishers such as us over at Your Own Pay, we can publish a link that when you click on it it will track back to the fact that you came from Your Own pay.

An example of this is what I like to go back to often and that’s ConvertKit.

If you clicked on a link where I mentioned ConvertKit, and it goes over to convert it’s website, that is a unique link that is tagged to me.

And what happens is you can sign up for a free account with ConvertKit and get all the free features they offer.

If you enjoy using that tool, and you decide to upgrade to their $29 a month plan, I get paid $8.70 or 30% of the monthly sale that ConvertKit gets.

 Some affiliate marketing opportunities are one time payouts, Which means if you sign up for a hosting company, for example, the publisher will get paid a larger amount, but only once.

some affiliate marketing opportunities are reoccurring, which means for as long as someone keeps the membership or service, then the publisher will get paid.

 

2020 WWDC

 

Michael starts this section out asking Damashe about his thoughts on the 2020 Apple, WWDC event.

 

He expresses how he likes the flow of this year’s event omitting all the pauses that are typically seen in a live event.

 

IOS 14

 

Damashe explains that first of all the beta one, which is where we are right now, for developers, as we’re recording is beta one is actually really solid.

 like, it is not quite as good as iOS 12 was, for anyone listening that remembers the iOS 12 beta.

Most people started referring to iOS 12 for a very long time, as you know, it’s just like 11 point, you know, five or 11.6 because it was very, very solid.

14 is pretty solid.

There’s some random glitches here and there, but most of that, I think, are kind of a bug for some of the features that they added, but it’s extremely solid.

I’m running it on my iPhone that I use every day.

Yep, I know. It’s crazy!

 

Man but it is really solid!

 most of the features they added are needed features or really kind of expanding or building upon things that they have done.

everything they’ve done seems like a logical step in the process of building as they continue to expand the OS.

widgets are now available on your home screen, which are pretty cool.

Right now there’s only Apple stuff.

So of course we don’t know how other developers are going to do their widgets.

But they give you multiple sizes.

The difference in the home screen widgets now versus the widgets that were available in IOS debut are that the widgets on the home screen in IOS14 are not dynamic.
