Arye Barsky asked: I wanted to ask for your opinion about promoting a launch (this launch) twice a year to the same list. I promoted Chandler's last launch about six months ago.

Why You Should Refer Other Affiliates and Earn a 2nd Tier Commission
Referring 2nd tier affiliates is a great way to make some extra commissions by utilizing your network. But...does it make financial sense if you are referring competition? Today, I share exactly why it does make sense. In response to Episode 27, Chris Cooper wrote: Hey Matt, great energy - first time listening. I am curious why would affiliates refer direct competition to compete for your business? A second tier commission is OK as an option, but that's a one time payment vs everyday competition for that customer.

When First Click or Last Click Matters in Affiliate Marketing (Pt. 2 of 2)
Most of the time, who gets credit for an affiliate sale (first click or last click) doesn't matter. But there is one exception to that rule that I share today. In yesterday's episode I said that usually it doesn't matter if first click or last click gets credit for an affiliate sale. Today, I share the caveat I mentioned.

The Great Affiliate Debate: First Click or Last Click Wins?
Today, I'm going to settle one of the great debates in the affiliate marketing world. Who should get credit for a sale...first click or last click? This debate has raged for more than a decade and honestly there is no great answer, but this episode should help you decide. And if you are an affiliate, it will help you ultimately not to worry about it.

Is Affiliate Saturation a Real Problem?
What should you do about affiliate saturation? Is it really a problem? Here's my take. Jim Woods recently asked in a blog comment: I'm on several lists that will be promoting Tribewriters at the same time, so I'll get a ton of emails about that. This leads to fatigue and unsubscribing or ignoring emails (even after the affiliate campaign). I'm sure many others are in the same place. (Maybe not the majority, but I've heard others talk about this as well.) Here's my response to Jim and to this perceived problem in the industry.

Should You Mail Your Optins During an Affiliate Launch?
If someone opts in through your affiliate link, should you continue to email them? That's the question I got recently from an affiliate. Here's my answer. Gundi Gabrielle asked this recently during Nick Stephenson's affiliate launch: "quick question though, my current optins all come from the free Reader Magnets book. Obviously, they were signed up to an auto responder. Does that auto responder include all the free videos, webinar invite, etc.? In other words, I don’t have to contact those leads again? In this episode, I answer Gundi's question.

Why You Should Listen to Every Episode of TAG
I was talking with a friend the other day who mentioned he only listened to about half of my episodes. I explained that he is missing out and shared why you should listen to all of the episodes of TAG. If you are an affiliate manager you might think you don’t need to listen to the ones about affiliate marketing but you do. There is no better way to learn affiliate marketing than to be one and learn it. If you are just wanting to make some side income as an affiliate you still need to listen to the ones about running your own program. One day you WILL have your own program.

Is My List too Small for Affiliate Marketing?
Is it possible for your list to be too small to do affiliate marketing? I got a question recently from a listener who asked that very question. This is my answer. Joe Elliott asked: I am promoting the Marc Guberti summit (thank you so much for the summit) "My plan is to email my unopens to get the message out there but worried I might not do well because my list is only 200..." Speaking of Marc Guberti, his summit just began and there is still time to promote it to your audience. Just go to mattmcwilliams.com/cmssummit for more information. I went deep in episode 17 about it but I’ll put it this way to keep it short...if you have an audience who publishes content, you need to promote this summit to them. Go to mattmcwilliams.com/cmssummit for more info and to sign up.
