How to Develop your Skills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I like the Mobidea Academy a lot.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been following you guys for two or three years.<\/p>\n<p>There are really good guys there.<\/p>\n<p>How to get started, how to set up the tracker, and traffic sources.<\/p>\n<p>Every newbie affiliate should check out that blog because they will learn a lot.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/affiliate-marketing-forums\/\">forums<\/a> that I\u2019d like to recommend:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"stm forum\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/recommends\/stm-forum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">StackThatMoney<\/a>, because it\u2019s a really good forum.<\/p>\n<p>And for newbies, you should check AffiliateFix.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also really good.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of information there for free to help you guys get started.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, I think it\u2019s mostly about keeping up with some blogs but you can basically count them with your fingers.<\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t that much information out there.<\/p>\n<p>Focus on that, get started, and maybe do a Follow-Along on the forums so that other people can help you.<\/p>\n<p>That should give you enough data to grow and see what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12-should-affiliates-read-a-specific-book-to-succeed\"><\/span>12. Should Affiliates Read a Specific Book to Succeed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not really.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend affiliates to take action.<\/p>\n<p>Launch campaigns every day.<\/p>\n<p>Just focus on what\u2019s working.<\/p>\n<p>You can read a lot of books.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of great books for marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Learning is okay.<\/p>\n<p>But you really need to take action.<\/p>\n<p>I could recommend a few books but &#8211; if you\u2019re a newbie &#8211; just take action first.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13-affiliate-marketing-trends\"><\/span>13. Affiliate Marketing Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I think that E-Commerce is here to stay for a while.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of marketers doing E-Commerce, drop shipping, or selling pay on demand products, or even their own physical products.<\/p>\n<p>I think that\u2019s gonna be a huge trend next year.<\/p>\n<p>And also cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s gonna be really good.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s gonna be a lot of offers changing.<\/p>\n<p>Some verticals &#8211; like Sweepstakes &#8211; are gonna stay here.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s always Nutra, Mobile Content.<\/p>\n<p>Those are all gonna remain here.<\/p>\n<p>This industry is really fast.<\/p>\n<p>It changes a lot so&#8230;we\u2019re thinking right now but maybe in six months it won\u2019t be the same.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to predict.<\/p>\n<p>But the evergreen offers and verticals are gonna be here forever.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14-surprises-in-2017\"><\/span>14. Surprises in 2017<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>I think that nobody was talking about it at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, after April or May, everybody started talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s huge.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/blockchain-technology\/\">a huge market<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It grew a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Not only for affiliates:<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people from all over the world are investing.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s gonna be a really huge trend next year.<\/p>\n<p>This year it was a complete surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Now, everybody\u2019s talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>There are also offers about cryptocurrency as well.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an unexplored terrain.<\/p>\n<p>Next year is gonna be crucial for us to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see if it\u2019s gonna live or just completely die.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15-how-do-you-see-mobidea\"><\/span>15. How Do You See Mobidea?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I think you are a really good network.<\/p>\n<p>You have a lot of things to help newbies to get started like the Mobidea Academy.<\/p>\n<p>You also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/affiliates\/mobidea-tracker-capabilities\/\">provide an affiliate tracker<\/a> which is quite important for any affiliate since a lot of people can\u2019t afford an expensive tracker at the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really good.<\/p>\n<p>And the Smartlinks help you monetize all the traffic.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s coming from different GEOs or different mobile devices, or OS, or browsers.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s really good.<\/p>\n<p>Since you have a lot of data coming from all the GEOs and all the affiliates, you can optimize the best offers for each Smartlink.<\/p>\n<p>And you also have direct offers.<\/p>\n<p>I think you guys are doing great.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen you working in this market and also in Latin America with all of the people speaking Spanish, which most networks don\u2019t really explore because they need a team that speaks Spanish and that knows the market as well.<\/p>\n<p>I think you\u2019ll do great next year.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I like it a lot.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16-future-plans\"><\/span>16.
