Building Affiliate Marketing Networks Socially

Writing by Brick Marketing on Thursday, 7 of February , 2008 at 3:51 am

Affiliate marketing networks and social networks have a great deal in common. They are both social activities that rely on word of mouth and communication to grow. A good way to look at an affiliate marketing network is to compare it to something as simple as a Facebook account. Someone that is active in their Facebook account, that updates it, communicates with people and attempts to make “friends” from outside his or her social circle will find that his or her list of friends grows quite rapidly. Everyone else will be limited to people that they actually know which in most cases is not going to amount to very much. Building your social network, just like building your affiliate marketing network, requires effort and some aggressive self promotion.

Social networks present a range of challenges for web marketers, but it is my belief that they actually hold a few advantages for affiliate marketing networks. The larger social networks have an almost inexhaustible number of potential new recruits for affiliate marketing networks. Through a combination of passive and active means, it should be possible to successfully promote affiliate marketing networks within any of the larger social networks.
