You Are an Ad a Walking Talking Ad and it does not matter if you want to be or Not You are the Target or Your Posts are Targeted at Other People and Not Always by you.A Dilemma
Two Main Places you would get your Applications and Your Programs are From Google PlayStore for Android and Chrome Web Store for a Browser Extension. The App Store for iPhone and IPad and Mac( I have used Android for many years and know little to nothing about iPhone)A Dilemma
The only places I can speak about from experience is Google PlayStore and Chrome Web Store What are browser extensions?
- A browser extension is a small software application that adds capacity or functionality to a web browser.
First, you have the Free Apps and Programs (Filled with Ads and yes you can excuse some Ads but a tremendous amount of Ads will turn off even the most frugal Person Who Uses only ( Free Apps)
The Second is a Free Trial to Be Able to Use all the Features and Options for a period of time to have full access and decide if the Application or Program is a fit for you and your business. There is something built in the Program that automatically Stops the Application /Program after at a set time. (You have left is a Cookie that reminds you to Buy the Full Program. It has to be removed manually if you decide not to Buy the Program.
However, that being said there are ways around not being able to use the some of a paid version Graphics or Images or Text Art
This is where my Story Begins
I always try the free version first and most of the time I run into the same dilemma time after time. I want to use something else being offered but it is only offered Only if I get a Subscription( on a Monthly 3 Months 6 Months or Yearly Basis or on a Plan. (Which is really a Subscription) Then there is the option of a one-time payment for the Application. Either Way, you go most of the time you are paying for the Application /Program without the constant interruptions of Ads that are targeting you based on what your Cell Phone or Tablet or Computer is recording and what you are already looking at. (Hense the name SmartPhone)
Smart Phones or should I say the AI is always learning and growing in knowledge about You every day and every time you use Search in any of the Main Search Engines it gains more and more knowledge on how to Target You
It is no surprise to me that anything that appears to be Free is not really free there is always a catch with a few exceptions one is VIdIQ and most of the Social Media Platforms and most Browser Extensions.
But taking a closer look even the Social Media Platforms have their own Agenda One either YOU are the Organic Traffic or YOU are buying the Traffic (Ads) Regardless it is still a place where YOU are always targeted with (Ads)
So that being said my point is You Are an Ad a Walking Talking Ad and it does not matter if you want to be or Not You are the Target or Your Posts are Targeted at Other People and Not Always by you.
I am always doing a lot of research before I create a Video and as you already know I am talking to the people who have been reading my posts. I have a Youtube Channel and I create step by step Video Tutorials on Youtube WordPress and Other Social Media.
I just started with Affiliate Marketing this year and have learned a lot but one thing that I have discovered is the different Algorithms or Metrics that are used to determine a certain Rating in either a Search Engine or a Social Media Platform. (So why is this important to me as an Affiliate Marketer Online You May Ask?) It is important because an Algorithm can be compared to Baking a Cake. A Set of Instructions that when performed will create a finished product and you need to know or follow the instructions to get a perfectly baked cake.
What is an Algorithm and how does it affect me as an Affiliate Marketer
- a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer:” a basic algorithm for math
- 1+1=2
What is the Algorithm of YouTube as an Example
Watchtime is the number one goal
what leads to watchtime is the Content + Views = Watchtime
Increase in watchtime
70% Come From Recommendations (YouTube SEO)
social media promotion and getting subscribers 30%
views you stand to gain from YouTube’s recommendation engine (via YouTube’s homepage and “recommended for you” suggestions)
Videos are ranked through these signal
Click-through rate (the likelihood of someone clicking on your video after seeing it)
Watch time (the combined amount of time that viewers spend watching your videos)
How many videos the user has watched from your channel
How recently the user watched a video about this topic
What the user has searched for in the past
The user’s previously watched videos
The user’s demographic information and location
This is all information that can found in YouTube Analytics
What is Clickbait? Clickbait is a Video in which people will click into but quickly not stay for the entire video
This is why YouTube is now penalizing these tactics (and that is good) for the YT Creator who is honestly trying to Offer Value to viewers.
Impressions and Watch time
Under the Reach Viewers tab, you can see the following metrics, which together illustrate YouTube’s new emphasis on click-through rate and watch time:
Impressions: How many times your video thumbnails were shown to viewers as a recommended video, on the homepage, or in search results.
Traffic sources for impressions: Where on YouTube your video thumbnails were shown to potential viewers.
Impressions click-through rate (CTR): How often users watched a video after seeing your thumbnails (based on logged-in impressions).
Views from impressions: This measures how often viewers watched your videos after seeing them on YouTube.
Watch time from impressions: Watch time that originated from people who saw your videos and clicked them on YouTube.
In Conclusion, Here it is Short and Sweet
If you want to get more views through YouTube’s recommendation engine, you need to optimize your channel and your videos for both click-through rate and watch time. SEO +CTR +WT= YTR
I do tons and tons of research is this is what I have found
Affiliate marketers on Youtube will have to become better content creators, leveraging video platforms, social media, and more in order to continue growing their audience.
With the Growing Number of New Affiliates and Also Experienced Sales People Joining the Ranks of Affiliate Marketing Online It Now takes more effort to stand out and offer something unique than ever before. It is becoming more difficult for New Affiliate Marketers to join Affiliate Programs. Merchants are being more selective about who they want to Partner with and Who Will Bring them a Profit
( This is the Bottom Line Who Will Best Bring the Merchant a Profit )
Pick a topic you’re passionate about, or have some expertise in, and focus on bringing real value to people rather than just sending someone to Amazon or Clickbank. Create an Affiliate Niche WordPress Website to Focus on a Theme and start to build Trust and Readership. Become a Story Teller and join Places such as medium.com to create a Reader’s Base along with other Social Media Platforms
Consider Using more Video and Fast Loading Slideshows and even PodCasts (my next Project) Doing Lives with YouTube Facebook and Instagram which are quickly becoming the norm for Affiliate Marketers
Keep doing your Research to See What is trending will be helpful to you as an Affiliate Marketer (Keep your Stories Lively and Relevant)
If you are chosen to make a living as an Affiliate Marketer offering More Value and building Trust is number one on the list of To Do’s
Become Familiar and Keep Up to Date with Google Updates
Have you noticed zero-click or no click on Google this will have a big impact on Affiliate Marketers Instead of sending searchers to outside pages, as for example your Website? Google is just answering people’s questions directly at the top of their search results. So Organic Traffic is not going to be as important as it was before.
