A Comment Inspired Action - Go LaTara!
Last week, when I wrote about Armand Morin’s Driving Traffic Call, LaTara Hamying of Vegan Family Living wrote this comment:
“I just listened to the recording and Armand gave some very valuable information. I love what he had to say about Article Marketing and how to present your product. I also was glad to hear about the importance of “running” your affiliate center.
I am guilty of not running mine well and closed it down for a couple of weeks. I spoke with someone who know affiliate management well and read a lot of Shawn Collins information as well as yours Alice’s. It all helped me tremendously.
I always learn something when I attend Armand’s seminars. He is one of the few who I think is honest in his approach and really does want to see people succeed.”
You know what LaTara did right after this? She started working on her affiliate center. How do I know, I follow her on Twitter and there she was announcing the work she was doing. Awesome LaTara!

That’s awesome LaTara! Like her, I’ve also let my affiliate center slide due to a lack of time. But . . . I finally hired a VA at the beginning of last week to work with on an on-going basis, so that stuff like this doesn’t keep getting put to the back burner.
Just yesterday, I decided to overhaul my affiliate center and invest in some new promotional materials. To be honest, I don’t think it’s fair to my affiliates NOT to do this. They took the time to signup for my program, so I need to ensure that they have everything they need to make the most of their time and efforts.
I’m interested in hearing how LaTara’s affiliate center mission comes out over the coming weeks
That’s so awesome LaTara! I couldn’t agree more Armand is a great person to learn from.
We just spent quite a bit of time working on my affiliate center in January and have schedule in a chunk of time every month for updates and new resources. I’m really looking forward to building a great long term program

I’d love feedback!
Working on my affiliate center is on my to-do list for this February. I need to start being more aggressive in training my affiliates and encouraging them to promote my products. Congrats LaTara and Kelly on getting your affiliate centers all set.
Awesome LaTara! Uh-oh, now I need to get to work too
Well - that’s one of my goals for this year, but I’ve been feeling a little detached from that goal because I’m not clear on the process and it seems daunting.
Reading about LaTara’s experience and Kelly’s comment about dedicating a chunk of time each month to tend to affiliate program work makes me think that it’s more doable. I’ll be watching and hopefully learning (!) as well.
WOW! I am flattered. With all of this attention I had better stay on my Ps and Qs. Thanks Alice!
Sharon, I just have to say that I felt that same way but once you buckle down and study the resources and tools, then it does become clear.
Again thanks Alice. I hope that others who read this post are encouraged to take action!
