Why I Don’t Mind Pinterest Hijacking My Links

February 4, 2012 by Allison · 2 Comments

Recently, Joel Garcia at GTO Management bought it to everyone's attention that everyone's new favorite social sharing site, Pinterest, is basically hijacking links to make money as an affiliate. I highly recommend checking out Joel's complete post, but here's the main idea: When you "pin" something, unless you you the upload option to post your own picture, users can click on your pin to go to the original source. It's a good system - it … [Read more]

Every month, I make a few hundred dollars in affiliate sales as a blogger, and those who focus on this form of monetization make even more.

No, I Don’t Want to Sign Up for Your Mailing List (And Here’s Why)

February 6, 2012 by Allison · 6 Comments

I need more emails like I need a hole in the head. I recommend that every online content creator out there has a mailing list, but I actually sign up for very few of them personally. I think mailing lists are great, but some people could have more subscribers if they used their lists slightly differently. Here's why I don't sign up for your mailing list...and what you can do to change that: 1. You email me every post you write. I think … [Read more]

Like many social networks, Twitter is a very powerful platform for connecting people. While some of us might use it for nothing more than complaining about coworkers or sharing pictures of our lunch, others are using Twitter to take down governments and stop poorly-worded bills from becoming laws. Yesterday, Twitter announced that it has refined … [Read more]

sopa pipa ban

Yesterday, sites like Wikipedia, Reddit, and Craigslist blacked out in protest of SOPA and PIPA, two anti-piracy bills that would cause tons of Internet censorship. Countless blogs also joined the protest, and major sites like Google and Pinterest put up notices about the bills, even though they didn’t shut down completely. Today, the Internet is, … [Read more]
