Amazon Affiliate Recyclable Packaging Tip

I recently sold an ink cartridge on my Amazon Affiliate account and packed it in a little shoe box wrapped in plastic shopping bags.

That’s the way to recycle baby! Customer bought cartridge (recylcable) and I sent him shopping bags (can recycle as lunch bags, as packaging or once finally as trash bags in his house).

How to Create An eventbrite (and affiliate) Account

Many individuals and companies use eventbrite for event registration and/or ticketing to their events. In fact you’ve probably already used it a few times yourself. Well today is a good day to create your own account and here’s why. The eventbrite site has customizable features that you will really like along with the usual variety of payment options for your customers. It also allows you to enter event details in addition to an attendee list.

I really like this feature in particular for its networking value. It allows your guests to start interacting via web and social media ahead of the event when they see web links or social media links that pique their interest under the other participants names. For serious networkers this helps them plan ahead to intentionally meet two or three people at the venue that they think they may want to follow up with afterwards.

When you go to the site take a look at how some of the companies in the “Popular Events” section in the middle of the page have set up their accounts. You’ll get some really good ideas from them.

Eventbrite has an analytics package as well that helps you to track customer demographics. This is important for learning what went well sales-wise with your last program and to fine tune your target marketing strategy for your next event.

When you get a minute also check out the “About Eventbrite” and “How To” sections at the bottom of the site to learn about some of the features in detail. The affiliate program may be something that works well for you in the future as your business expands. I just created an affiliate account recently myself.

Like I said earlier you have likely already used eventbrite a number of times to buy tickets and reserve seats at events so why not create a profile to take advantage of online ticketing on your own behalf? Click my link and create an account. Then the next time you or I have an event let’s help each other pub it and share in the revenue.

If the growing popularity of this site is any indication I believe eventbrite is going to develop into the next big online affiliate program and you’re not going to want to miss out on that growth so sign up today.
