Could this apply to books with the new Amazon Kindle? Maybe, yet I think it’s one of the few types of media that will still retain it’s original form –sometimes it’s nice to unplug. Take my kid sister, who’s visiting at my house for our Mother’s day dinner, she streams content online, downloads it from the internet, and has an iPod. I think looking at Generation Y is a clue to what is to come, media will represent the culture it’s providing for: portable, mobile, interconnected, interactive and on-demand. To me, owning physical is the old way, the new way is relying on the network. Would love to hear what you think. Humans have a way of always experimenting with new systems to see how they can be monetized or streamlined –it’s a natural part of the web.
A few months ago, I experimented with Indonesia Telegram Number Data Magpie Twitter ads as an analyst, and quickly found the community revolted against it. Another revolt could be at hand as I’ve recently learned that some Twitter users are putting in affiliate links in their Tweets (some are not disclosed), thereby recommending products (like to Amazon) resulting in them generating a cut of revenue if the product is purchased. I know if someone buys a Kindle based on your affiliate link, that person can generate $35, not bad for a simple link. Of course, it comes down to intent, which ultimately drives trust, and may result in followers clicking, ignoring, unfollowing someone they feel taken advantage of. Perhaps in the worst case, followers could report a twitter user using affiliate links as spam.
How to make it work Affiliate links aren’t anything new, we’ve seen them on blog siderolls for years, so it comes down to a few requirements if people are going to make them work: 1) Make sure it lines up editorially with your personal brand, promoting a product that people don’t associate you with will raise eyebrows. 2) Disclose it’s an affiliate link, perhaps with a hashtag #affilliatelink. 3) Be sincere about your recommendation. If you truly love that product you’re promoting, perhaps write a review on a blog first, explaining why. 4) Be fully transparent before people follow you: Create a link from your Twitter profile page that is up front about how you use Twitter, and explain your intentions when it comes to product recommendations and affiliate links.
