Don't Even Bother Ripping Designs Off

Kieron Donoghue is a UK affiliate marketer (that is he develops sites that attract visitors searching for product A - his site links to Site B that sells product A. If the visitor buys from site B then Kieron gets a small commission).

He has an excellent blog about affiliate marketing here.

Kieron uses real life example to demonstrate what he does - pretty rare, because most people want to kept the secrets of success to themselves. And people will just rip your sites off.

Kieron has a site for Mothers Day Flowers in the UK. He blogged about that here as an example for targeting seasonal events.



It's an excellent post from a guy who really knows his stuff.

Anyhoo, sure enough along comes a couple of dopey people who rip that site design right off. Even down to to copying the terms and conditions!

Ripping Others Off Isn't A Good Sign

Check out Kieron's UK affiliate marketing blog for the full story, but the point is this:

In business you need to be creative, different, fast, bold......not just rip someone else's ideas and sites off. That's not a good sign that you are going to succeed.

Cheers
