  I have affiliate links on my website from Wiggly wigglers and from The recycle works, - The wiggly one is the easiest for me to use in my blogs, - why not ring Heather at WW and ask her for some help?

  Angela,
  Are you selling a product or a service?

  Do you make any money from your affiliate links?

  Hi Angela - here is what I know
  
  * affilate advertising is more effective when a text link in made in an article as opposed to banner advertising - with that knowledge I rarely trust a product review with links as someone is probably getting a kick back
  
  * some magazine type sites have abandoned affilate marketing becasue it does not genertate enough income and have a monthly advertisment flat fee instead - I think that says a lot to those who are thinking of hosting affilates advertising and expecting to get loads of £££ - it would be interesting to hear from those who do reap benefit from affilate marketing
  
  * .....you can set up affilate marketing using 'affilatewindow' (google them) ......or set up your own through an e-commerce site like mal's cart
  
  * be wary - behind every e-commerce solution are 100 people wanting to rip you off and will use your ignorance to their advantage

  Thanks Claire, I will. I'd rather talk to someone who is happily using affiliate advertising, than someone who wants to sell me the service. As Felicity so rightly said, I feel that I could easily be ripped off.

  I have money building up in the pot, - they send you a cheque when you get to £50, - only small beer at the mo, just a few recommendations to clients, - but better than a kick in the teeth as they say!

  Hi Angela,
  can't work out if i've misunderstood you or other way around - if you are selling lawns, surely you want to talk to someone else who has a successful business and is already using affiliate advertising to sell their product - i.e you want other people to help you sell your lawns? - if so then Wiggly wigglers have a very sucessful business selling composting and gardening products, and are very social media savvy, rather than wanting to sell you something, you could learn from them.
