...with Matt Frary of ROIRocket.com
-
Listen below to what Matt Frary, President of ROI Rocket Inc., as he
explains to James Martell, a successful affiliate marketer and natural
search expert about how he and his partners started as
affiliates and achieved the kind of success needed to expand and eventually
buy their merchants out.
You can also learn how Frary and his team at ROI support affiliate marketers
by connecting them with hand-picked merchants within the Fortune 500 arena
and beyond, while providing affiliates with support services including
affiliate managers, images, tracking, and much more.
Martell and Frary use this edition of Coffee Talk to discuss the importance
of the affiliate network/affiliate marketer relationship and how ROI Rocket
brings together merchants and affiliates for a true win-win outcome.
As Frary explains,
ROI Rocket “levels the playing field with advertisers” by
allowing them to pick and choose exactly what’s right for their website,
while maintaining the control that is needed to ensure affiliates and
merchants achieve optimal outcomes.
The two talk about the phenomenal growth within the industry and online
shopping and how this creates money-making opportunities like never before,
with the good news being that this will only increase over the coming years.
So grab your coffee and join in to hear all about pay-for-performance
advertising and why the world’s most successful merchants are turning to
this performance-based method of advertising and turning away from more
traditional methods such as print and television, and how this is sure to
put money in your pockets!

Very interesting interview.
Keep up the good work! Mieko, Japan
Success stories are always
very motivating, and that's how I found this interview. Good job, and
very informative too! It's great to know there are people out there in
key positions willing to help you succeed. Nancy, Ottawa, Canada
Another great interview.
Really opened up the potential of this business, especially the
tremendous growth potential. Very good information that will help to
minimize potential for making mistakes - can benefit from lessons
learned by others in the industry.
I found your interview with
Matt very
inspiring. It gave me a different perspective on the role of the
affiliate network. I had no clue they as well as the merchants
themselves could be helpful sources of information. For some reason that
just didn’t occur to me. I love these interviews as well as the buzz
clips. I download them and play them on my mp3 player on the way to
work. They are helping me get back up to speed in my affiliate business
again. – Jim R., Long Beach, CA USA
This has been great. It has
reinforced what I have heard from Linda Woods and Ros Phillips. They all
seem to be saying the same things - "we are here to help so give us a
call". Paula, Australia
Very informative and
motivating! Enjoy listening to the interviews on my way to work. Having
the interviews takes some of the fear away from talking to the managers.
The light bulb comes on to let you know they are people too and want you
to have success. Thank you for this chance to learn and grow in the
affiliate business - K Morgan – MD USA

James, What a great
interview. Very inspiring. Just a couple of quick takeaways. One - How
enormous the affiliate business is and how the surface has yet to be
scratched. That there are far more advertisers than affiliates.
Affiliates are in high demand. Two - How willing the advertisers are to
help publishers succeed creating the ultimate win win scenario. My uncle
once told me to never look a gift horse in the mouth. That comment
directly relates to the affiliate industry as Matt sees it. Matt really
inspired me to just get going.
What a great thing.
Informative and reassuring, I look forward to these sessions as well as
the buzz with a huge amount of thankfulness to have voices in my office
telling me it's ok to fear, and just get over it, because it works if we
do. -JIL, Maryland, USA
James, Great interview. I
so enjoy your interviewing style. 1. You ask a question, then let the
interviewee answer without interruption. Perhaps interjecting only to
clarify a point. 2. You don't put words into the mouth of the
interviewee. 3. You don't repeat what the interviewee just said. 4. You
don't assume aloud what the interviewee is about to share, thereby
requiring said interviewee to correct you. I'm really excited about this
series and look forward to more. Robert W. Bakersfield, California, USA
James: I just finished listening to the interview with Matt. I was very
impressed with the first interview but this one was even more interesting
and informative. I didn't realize just how much help is available from the
affiliate managers. You've got a winning thing going here. Keep up the great
work! Best regards, Brian A Schmidt Ontario
James, Matt's information is so encouraging! We are so new to this whole
concept...and it makes it seem so real and do-able instead of so
overwhelming. Thank you for helping us keep perspective! Jeanne/Steve

Excellent overview of the evolution of affiliate marketing, its future, and
the role of an affiliate network such as
ROIRocket. Matt's discussion of how
a network can assist publishers was very informative. Thanks! Ed,
Chambersburg, PA, USA
Another great interview. Really demonstrates the importance of cultivating
your relationships with the affiliate managers and how they are there to
assist us. Great point on applying to too many programs at once and getting
overloaded. I like the idea of really building up one relationship and then
moving on – big mistake I made in the past. These interviews have really
made me look at the whole business differently – in a good way. Thanks,
Linda M. – B.C. Canada
Another very interesting interview. Discussion on choosing an affiliate
program was most helpful for me. Robert, Indianapolis
