Friday Podcast: Affiliate Strategies With Ruck
Veteran affiliate marketer Ralph Ruckman, better known as “Ruck” has gone full circle, from operating as an affiliate using blackhat/grayhat/whitehat techniques to founding his own CPA/affiliate network, Convert2Media with 3 other co-founders.
A presence on multiple internet marketing and affiliate marketing forums, Ruck is a warehouse of knowledge, having been in the affiliate marketing trenches and having seen the good and bad parts of the industry.
Ruck’s known for his brutally frank, no-BS approach to speaking his mind. You either love his honesty, or in the same breath, hate him for showing the ugly side of things.
I’d been looking forward to talking to Ruck for some time and got him to share his thoughts during our call.
We talked about:
- How he got started in internet marketing
- His role in participating in forums and starting the CashTactics blog (now operated by Kris Trujillo)
- His views on the affiliate industry, especially on the recent FTC press conference
- How to look for hot niches to promote in affiliate marketing
- How to build your affiliate business
- Convert2Media’s recent adjustment in sub-affiliate recruitment incentives
- Important facts every affiliate needs to know about scrubbing and shaving
- Convert2Media’s upcoming coaching programs for affiliates
- C2M’s next evolution as a full service internet marketing agency
