FIRST WORD
As you may imagine, and hopefully as you’ve come to expect, we’ve got some great things for you this week.
For starters, we’ve got two incredible — and free — webinars coming up today. They were announced in the last two NLs, you probably got an email yesterday, and today is the day.
See the next section, Special Webinars, for links to sign up.
How important is owning your own brand? In The World Of Amazon we take a look at an example of what can happen when a large brand owner moves in, eliminating resellers. Then, under Sellers’ Paradise we’ve got more helpful insight, a discussion of the value of Affiliate marketing, and under Tips & Tricks learn how to easily update your transactions and data when needed.
Be sure to get in on today’s special webinars!

SELLERS’ PARADISE
Affiliate marketing is the world’s most untapped source for generating passive income. What is affiliate marketing exactly?
The best definition of what affiliate marketing is can be found on Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income:
“Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s (or company’s) products. You find a product you like, promote it to others and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.”

TIPS & TRICKS
In MBS Transactions are updated daily. Each day you should see Transactions through the previous day.

You might need to Refresh until the report is generated.
Once generated and available for Download, go to your ManageByStats, under Statistics, and set the same Starting date and click the Download Data button:
It will let you know when complete, and it can then take several hours after that for the data to finish populating.
THE WORLD OF AMAZON
For over a decade the Amazon marketplace worked as a way to get brands unwilling to sell directly to Amazon onto the platform. Most brands would refuse to sell to Amazon, but their products would still end up on Amazon because a few small retailers would list them there …
Brands woke up to Amazon. This happened in the last few years. First, brands tried to control distribution on Amazon through only allowing a set list of sellers. Second, they tried to become sellers themselves. And most recently they started hiring Amazon agencies to manage their presence on the platform …

The man asks the bartender, “What’s the deal with the meat?” The bartender explains that if you jump and slap a piece of meat, you get to drink free for the night, but if you miss, you must buy drinks for everyone in the bar. The man responds, “No thanks, the steaks are too high.”
