I love banners and would always use them to encourage sales. I believe that graphics are one of the best ways to sell something.

Enjoy the journey.

Thanks, Nicole! Humble bloggers/affiliates (like me for instance) may not have a large list built, yet. So we may be blogging about your products for a while yet. Maybe I’m not good at email marketing yet, but I am good at spotting a pretty banner that will get some attention when I put it up on my blog and promote your product, or promote it in a Facebook post.

A banner is an easy visual to make the post more readable… especially for my audience. I’m a very ‘visual’ person so I empathize with readers who need something very obvious (aka banner) to click on.

For instance, I promote Susanne’s Hillbilly Housewife old fashioned cookbooks on my blog. If I just linked to the text, my audience would not click on. But, with Susanne’s absolutely gorgeous graphic of an old fashioned stove or the bookcovers, my readers will click on. It instantly says “This is what I want to see!”

Just like your “Just Add Sweat” ebooks, Nicole. They are cute and fun and SHOWS my reader in an instant what they can expect. Just linking to the words “How to Start a Recipe Blog” – at least for me and my audience – seems less fun, less inviting. Again, it’s a visual thing.

So, I guess what I’m saying is THANK YOU for providing me with banners and graphics. I love them. I use them. And I especially love it when I don’t have to go looking around for something else to use; when the affiliate just provides them. I say give your affiliates a choice – if they want to use them, fine. If not, fine. But at least they have the option if they think it suits their audience to use them.

Thanks for letting me pipe in. 😉

Ohh this is great stuff. Thanks for sharing your stats!

I have an affiliate program and offer up banners and buttons for my affiliates to use and I hope they are making the best of them. I ALWAYS promote other affiliate programs by using banner and I wish more program owners would offer great tools like you do.

I absolutely love it when rockin’ program owners like yourself have tons of great affiliate tools! It really makes it so nice, to be able to just go in and grab a banner when you need one. I was just reading my own Easy PLR stats last night and for the minimal effort I’ve put in, they’re pretty darn good!
