Will try to do that from now on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1893896 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 14:05:05 +0000 mrbee 1893896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: It's ok if more than 24 hours goes by. We don't except to make money off of every click! And if you want to make sure your purchase helps support Hellobee, you could always click on the link again before buying!</p> <p>@BakerBee: That would definitely help, if you didn't mind. Thanks for thinking of us!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1893874 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:50:53 +0000 LBee 1893874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: So in theory, if I was to buy something from Amazon, it helps the site if I click on your Amazon link and then go buy my [insert product here] ? Or am I not understanding? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1893865 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:45:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1893865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: got it now. 24 hours is a short window for an indecisive person like myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1892996 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 08:58:26 +0000 Boogs 1892996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: That's what I try to do. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1892942 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 08:41:55 +0000 mrbee 1892942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Not totally sure, to be honest! But we ask that people only click on ads if you're interested in the product... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1892934 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 08:37:22 +0000 Boogs 1892934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about the ads here on the boards? Of we just click those do they help generate revenue? @mrbee: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1892891 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 08:20:47 +0000 mrbee 1892891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Answers below!</p> <p>1) Clicking doesn't generate any revenue! For Amazon, we get a commission if someone buys something within 24 hours of clicking on a link from our site.</p> <p>2) If the link points to Amazon.com or rstyle.me, it's usually affiliatized. We add a visual disclosure on every post that goes up, usually next to the first affiliate link in the post.</p> <p>3) We just pick products we like, and then see if they're on Rstyle (if it's clothes) or Amazon (if it's anything else).</p> <p>We very rarely ever get anything for free from vendors. If we do, we always mention it in the post!</p> <p>4) There's no way to track that. So we would get no commission.</p> <p>Hope that answers your questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/affiliate-links-qs#post-1892750 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 06:51:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1892750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the "how we make money" section, but I have additional questions about the affiliate links.</p> <p>1) does just clicking (not purchasing) provide revenue?</p> <p>2) When a post has several links, presumably not all are revenue generating, is there a way to tell which ones generate revenue?</p> <p>3) what's the process for choosing, using, endorsing, and linking back to the products?</p> <p>ex: do you use a product on your own and then contact the retailer before sharing it on the blog? Or a retailer introduces you to a product and that's why you use it an include it in a post?</p> <p>4) What if a product is purchased because someone saw it on HB, but didn't link? Is there a way to track that or tell the retailer about the HB referral? </p>
