Forum

[simonslade]

The video lessons and notes are only half the picture: the other half lies right here in the Affilorama forum. Our forum is famous for its wealth of information from members, staff and the occasional internet marketing guru who drops by. You'll find a lot of affiliates at various stages of the learning process willing to answer questions, check out your site, make recommendations and generally point you in the right direction.

Announcements - The forum is also the place where we post announcements related to upcoming Affilorama updates / events / notices, etc. Check out the Forum News branch. On occasions we also ask for feedback on topics for upcoming lessons or for Affilorama generally.

Hints for using the forum
• Don't be afraid to ask questions -- chances are there are other people wondering the same thing. But before you do, spend some time browsing old threads. A lot of ground has been covered already.
• Got LOTS of questions? If you've come into the forum with a veritable shopping list of questions, consider breaking them up into multiple forum posts. It's easier for people to answer posts when there are only one or two questions, and it makes it easier to reference at a later date as well. Of course there’s a fine line between "making it easier" and "spamming the forum with 100 questions". We trust you to use your good judgement :)
• Posting affiliate links in the forum: Can you do it? Sure! A good idea is to add a URL to your signature -- that way it will appear on all your posts. You can also recommend products through your affiliate link if it's appropriate to the conversation. Keep in mind, though, that this is a forum about affiliate marketing, and we do know what an affiliate link looks like. If it looks like all you're doing is pushing your own affiliate products and not actually contributing much to the forum, people will start to ignore you. Also anything that looks like blatant affiliate link trolling will be dealt with by the moderators. You may be banned permanently. If it's not going to help anyone else, don't do it.
• Sending private messages: If you want to send a private message to a member on the forum, click on the user's name and you'll be taken to their profile. There is a link in their profile to send them a private message (PM). Any private messages you receive will appear in your Inbox, accessible from the top of the screen, next to where it says "Welcome back".
• Want to send Mark Ling a private message? If you’ve got a burning question that simply must be answered by Mark and Mark alone, we suggest you email it to us through the contact form at our support page. We will decide whether it actually *is* something that can ONLY be answered by Mark, and if so, we will forward it to him. Please understand that Mark is a terribly, terribly busy guy! If your question is general, or can be answered by any of our good-looking moderators or support staff, try them first!
