Skim Links

Really like this new site that I just found out about. It's called Skimlinks . Basically it makes affiliate marketing for publishing sites a lot easier.

You join, add the skimlinks plugin to your site. Create content with links to products and services as normal, then skimlinks automatically turns those editorial links into trackable links that if the user purchases, you get paid commission. I think it's definitely worth checking out.

Social Media Marketing

I've been reading up a lot recently about Social Media Marketing as I am curious to know how the big brands are going to be able to play in this space in a way that doesn't get mocked by the audience they are trying to reach. Social Media Marketing is all about becoming part of the conversation, being a valuable contributor and having something to say that is relevant and interesting.

I was reading a blog post by Brian Solis titled 'The Social Media Manifesto - Integrating Social Media into Marketing Communications'. It is a very interesting read and would definitely recommend checking it out.
