Mobile Affiliate Marketing on The Rise

There a lot of trends in online marketing that I look past because they are not what I call “evergreen” trends. Let me explain just a few.

Twitter – although their use is on the rise, most people still don’t know what twitter is or how it can be effectively used to put money in your  pocket.

Social Bookmarking – Besides a slight boost in SEO social bookmarking was never going to catch on. Digg was highly over rated.

Article Directories – Matt Cutts for years hinted that content farms where not good, and with a recent Panda update Google finally put their foot down.

However mobile is a trend that can’t be ignored. The moment I realized how important mobile is, was while on top of a mountain staying with mountain folk in Thailand. Despite not having running water every villager (even the kids) had a cell phone!

I’m trying to ignore the hype of tablets and smart phones, because even in the US almost 50% of phones are still Feature Phones (non smart phones).

I’ll be doing most of the blogging over at Mobile Affiliate Blog regarding mobile marketing, so hop over there if you want to learn more about how to make money with mobile.
