Hi George,
Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.
I am always looking for new websites to use as marketing platforms
for my projects and products, and an interesting one I found
recently is called UKritic. Think about it as a Squidoo for
product reviews. Here's the link:
--> http://www.ukritic.com
Basically users sign-up and write reviews about the product they
have used or bought. Unlike other websites with user-generated content,
however, UKritic will give you a piece of the action if people reading
your reviews end up purchasing the product.In other words, they are
totally fine to have affiliate marketers aboard.
If you are just getting started with affiliate marketing this might
actually be a good place to test things out. That is, you could
pick a range of products and niches you want to promote and test
things out on their platform.After that you check what types of
reviews and products convert better, and then you decide if you
want to spend time and money building a whole website around those
or not.
Right after you sign-up you'll be able to start writing your
reviews. Before your profile becomes public, though, you need to
have at least one review approved by the moderators, which is a
positive thing in my opinion, as it helps to keep the level of spam
down. If you visit the site you'll notice that every review has
three big orange buttons pointing to the seller's website: one on
top, on on the sidebar and one at the bottom.
Guess what, you can provide your affiliate links when writing the
review and those buttons will carry it for you, so you get
commissions for buyers going through your Ukritic review. You can
also embed affiliate links in the body of the review if you prefer.
Here's the link again:

Overall I think it's a nice idea, and I believe the approach to
support rather than prohibit affiliate marketing will definitely
help this platform to become popular, so check it out.
Talk to you next week,
Daniel Scocco

George, Burn the Bridges
Hi George,
Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.
First of all keep in mind I don't support or see as a positive
thing the massacres that happened in Central and South America when
Spain, Portugal and other European nations started colonizing the
continent. Quite the opposite. That being said we can still learn
from their strategic and military choices, and that is what this
post is about.
Hernán Cortés was the Spanish general who was responsible for the
fall of the Aztec Empire and sub-sequent colonization of the
Americas by Spain. His military technology was far superior, but
the Aztec outnumbered his men, and they were fighting for their
lives (i.e., as motivated as you can get...).
In other words, he needed something to motivate his men to fight
eagerly as well, else there was a chance they would be defeated.
That is why when he arrived at the shores he gave orders to burn
and sink all the ships that brought his men. He wanted to make it
clear that retreating was not an option. If the Aztecs were
fighting for their lives, well, so were the Spanish men now. And as
you might remember from history classes, it worked.
Bottom line: sometimes you need to burn the ships and the bridges
behind you to make sure you'll give all you've got.
Here are some examples of how this might apply to startups and
websites, even if at a smaller scale:
-Renew your domain for 10 years, so you tell yourself that this is
for the long run.
-Invest $1000 on a design for your website, so you tell yourself
that if you stop working on it you'll lose that money.
-Once your online business starts making some decent money consider
quitting your day job, so you tell yourself that now your websites
need to pay your bills.
What about you, are you willing to burn the bridges?

George, Here Are My 5 Must Read Business Books
Hi George,
Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.
Over the years I've read my share of business books. Some were
terrible, some were fine, and some were pretty good. Among all of
those there are a handful which changed the way I thought about
business, for the better. Those I consider must-reads.
I just published a post on my blog with those 5 must read
business books. Here's the link:
--> http://www.dailyblogtips.com/my-5-must-read-business-books/
If there's one on the list you haven't read it yet do yourself
a favor and grab it. Either buy it, borrow from a friend or from
your local library, but read it. I am sure it will have a positive
impact on you as well.
Talk to you next week,
Daniel Scocco
