		<description>Albone:

Following up with and maintaining your current customers is essential.  The thing to remember is that it is much easier to make a second (or third, or fourth) sale to a return customer than it is to develop an all new one.  If you&#039;ve got someone you know is interested in your product enough to have already made a purchase, then you need to do whatever is possible to keep them coming back for more.

		<description>Thanks for the excellent advice (as always).  I was doing the follow ups with my latest special but I didn&#039;t realize the importance of it, or that its a good idea to follow up after 90 days.  I like all of that, especially giving the customer some incentive to come back.</description>

		<description>Albone:

Thanks for the new comment and the very kind words.  Based on its subject (Wreslting), I think your book will do very well once you get enough content together for a trade paperback release.  Professional Wrestling is huge and you&#039;ll have a lot of opportunity for crossover.  Get your affiliate programing going as fast as you can and start building it.

I&#039;m still surprised no one has really followed through with that suggestion yet - allowing reviewers to use affiliate links is great way to help both sides (reviewer and publisher).  

Thanks again and feel free to post any questions you&#039;ve got (or email them to me) and I&#039;ll try to address them in an upcoming video.

		<description>Hey Mat, 

Thanks for the great tips on affiliates and marketing in general.  I&#039;ve listened to this particular update 3 times now to make sure I got it all and while I don&#039;t think I can use it right now, its certainly interesting from an intellectual point of view.  And yeah, some lazy heads out there, I can&#039;t believe that they wouldn&#039;t use an affiliate program.  I think I read this on the other site (don&#039;t recall) but offering reviewers an affiliate link is brilliant.</description>

		<description>Albone:

I&#039;m glad you liked the article.  I really am surprised more comic book publishers haven&#039;t gotten in to running an affiliate program for their books -- especially now that graphic novels and trade paperbacks are so widespread.  An affiliate program would even work well for print on demand (POD) publishers because it would give them a sales/marketing force while still leaving them a good chunk of the remaining profits.  No longer would they wind up losing money when trying to get their book distributed.

Feel free to drop by for more tips...oh, and my other site, New Affiliate Help, might have some additional information you&#039;d be interested in.  Check it out at http://www.NewAffiliateHelp.com.
