Effective Link Cloaking: How To Avoid Affiliate Income Loss

May 10th, 2012 admin

There is a lot of controversy an affiliate commissions and link cloaking. Should you cloak your affiliate links and how do you if you are losing money or not?
The first question that people ask on various affiliate forums is why should I cloak my affiliate links? Is link cloaking an obligation?

Let’s answer to the first one…

You cloak your affiliate links to prevent one of these three situations:

1- Prevent Link hijacking

In this case, a smart affiliate will steal your link since he is able to see your referral link and replace it by his own.

He can see your affiliate links in:

1- The address bar of your browser

2- The status bar

3- On your web page (He just need to view the source code from his browser)

Even if you try to disable the right click on your page, a savvy hijacker will still be able to view the source of your page.

2- Prevent link bypassing

Many people don’t like the idea that they are giving someone an affiliate commission on their purchase, and they will just remove your affiliate link before buying.

How Facebook Can Change Your Business

February 18th, 2012 webkriti

More than 500 million people use Facebook today.  Of those, over 250 million users log in and update their Facebook pages or statuses more than once a month. This social networking channel has gained worldwide acceptance as the way to communicate with like-minded people. What does that mean for entrepreneurs?  Small business owners who understand the value of entering this dynamic, interactive environment have much to gain.

Facebook successfully personalized the online experience. Everyone with a Facebook account can easily claim a small piece of cyberspace to express likes, dislikes, inspirations, aspirations, beliefs and values.  Where else can a marketer find so much self-disclosed information about potential customers?  If you have defined your niche and you know your customers, then you can use your Facebook business page to build your network and reach your audience.

Ads and Targeting Ability

Facebook allows you to create ads specifically targeting its users based on their profile information.  Although these ads are short — 25 characters in the headline and 135 characters in the body — there is additional room for your website’s URL.  After you have written your ad, you can choose who will see it based on location, age, likes and interests.  The more choices you add to the likes and interests category, the more narrowly you define your audience.

5 Tips for Starting Your Small Business in a Bad Economy

October 26th, 2011 webkriti

Starting any business at any time is bound to be an enormous undertaking.  But if you’re trying to get your business off the ground at a time when funding is hard to come by and consumer spending is scarce, you might feel like you’re facing an uphill battle that you can’t possibly hope to win.  However, even in times of economic turmoil a motivated individual with a great idea can find ways to secure the startup funds needed to launch a business venture and find ways to make money.  Here are just a few tips to help you do just that.

  1. Find a niche.  Part of starting a successful business in a poor economy is providing added value to consumers that are being selective about how they spend their money.  Basically, this means that you either need to improve upon a product or service that people already feel they need, or else create a new product or service that they didn’t know they needed until your began offering it.  This is no small task, but if you are smart about what you spend and how you go about marketing your business, it could be easier than you suspect.  However, if your plan involves offering something that someone else is already doing better or cheaper, you may not get the interest you crave from lenders or the public.
  2. Create a killer business plan.  This is the key to starting any business, especially during an economic downturn.  So don’t phone it in when it comes to your business plan.  Take the time to do the necessary research and make sure to dot your i’s and cross your t’s.  You’re going to get out what you put in on this score.
  3. Do your homework.  When it comes to securing a loan you might have to do your homework if you want to find the right lender.  This means looking for banks that have a good track record of granting loans for businesses of your size or industry.  You also need to check out several lending institutions.  Of course, even this might not be enough to get you the funds you need.  But there are other options, such as personal loans (from family and friends), venture capital, angel investors, or even partnerships to consider.
  4. Lower overhead.  If your business is one that can start out by operating online you can save on the overhead associated with opening a brick-and-mortar location (such as a lease, utilities, staff, and insurance).  This could definitely lower the amount of money you need to get started and allow you to get the loan you need.  And once you succeed in the online arena, you can revisit the idea of opening a store in the real world.  Of course, if you need to start with a physical location, you can still cut costs by scaling back your operation or taking on a business partner to absorb some of the costs.
  5. Use the economy to your advantage.  The one good thing about a poor economy is that you’re not the only one looking for money.  You may be able to get workers, supplies, and other business needs for a lot less money than you’d pay in a thriving economy.  Use this to your advantage if you want to make your startup a success.

You may equate finding financing in a bad economy to locating a brake bleeder on your car or pointing out an obscure constellation in the heavens.  If you don’t have the correct knowledge going in, you’re unlikely to find what you’re looking for.  But even in a bad economy there are steps you can take to get your business enterprise off the ground.   So don’t hesitate to do whatever is necessary to get your business going.

Business First Steps

August 17th, 2011 webkriti

Starting a new business is an exciting and challenging time period. It will require following the appropriate first steps to getting your business set up before taking any action to make a profit and allow the business to grow. Those vital first steps are often the key to getting enough funding for the necessities of a business during the first years before you start making a profit.

Evaluating:

Before making any move to actually start the business, you need to spend time evaluating both your abilities and the business ideas. Always begin with yourself. Evaluate your work ethic, your ability to face challenges even when you do not see profits and your mental strength. An entrepreneur must have a strong mind to handle all of the potential downfalls of the first few years.

Once you’ve determined that you are capable of handling the challenging, you must then evaluate your business ideas. This starts with determining if your idea is possible to market and turn into a business. From there, you need to spend time researching similar businesses and find the area you can focus on, or a niche.

Work out all of the details in your own mind before you begin putting the work into starting a business.

Steps to Franchise Your Small Business

August 9th, 2011 webkriti

When you start your small business, you are likely pretty grounded in the reality of the situation if you have created a sound business plan.  You have both short-term and long-term goals laid out, with a path marked by milestones that will help you to succeed, but even if you’re shooting for the moon, you probably realize that you’re at the whim of the consumer market (which is currently sunk in a recession).  So a reality check is almost certainly the order of the day for most small business owners who are just starting out or simply maintaining.  However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you shouldn’t harbor big dreams for your business, amongst them the idea of mass expansion.  If your business is doing well and growing rapidly, fitting into a niche in the market that is, as yet, unexploited, then there’s no reason you shouldn’t consider creating a franchise that will allow you to earn more and work less.  Here are a few steps to get you on your way.

  1. Rework your plan.  A business plan is like a roadmap that helps you to reach your professional goals.  But it must be kept up-to-date and accurate in order to remain flexible as your agenda changes.  So when you begin to think about the scale of expansion involved in turning your startup into a franchise operation, you may want to first refer back to your original business plan to see if now is the right time, or if you should ramp up before you go whole hog.
  2. Do some research.  Perhaps your business is a labor of love; even though you’re doing well with it, others may not be interested in opening a store under your flagship.  You need to do a little poking around to find out if there is enough interest to consider franchising.  You should also think about whether your business is something that is immensely popular because of the area you live in (but it might not do so well in other cities, states, or countries).  And you’ll certainly want to forecast the cost of such a venture.  In short, there’s a lot of research to be done before you get started.
  3. Speak to your lender.  You might think that starting a franchise based on your business is going to be easy and inexpensive, but there are a lot of hoops to jump through that are going to cost you.  So before you get too far into the planning process you may want to make an appointment to speak to your lender.  Even if your company is doing well, you might not be able to secure further funding if your outstanding loans are still fairly bulky.
  4. Consider investors.  Another option for expansion is to contact investors.  There are several types, but you may consider family and friends as a springboard before moving on to angel investors (those who offer mentorship in addition to money) or venture capitalists (who may as well be partners, considering the control they’ll want to exert over the process).
  5. Consider commitment.  Turning your fledgling enterprise into a small business franchise is a pretty good goal, and it is entirely doable if the circumstances are right.  But it entails a lot more responsibility than running a single office or retail store.  Your brand is going to be on the line with every single store that opens, and you’ll have to deal with the questions, concerns, and demands of franchisees, as well.  So think long and hard before you go down that road.
