In other news, I’m happy to be joining the Reputation.com team as General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer.  I look forward to the opportunity to help everyday people take control of their online image, take back their privacy, and protect their reputations.  And, of course, the company is filled with amazing people with whom I am lucky to work.

Here at Reputation.com, we are committed to helping individuals protect and defend their good names online. To this end, we are constantly seeking to improve our products and educate the world about the importance of Internet privacy and Online Reputation Management. Recently, Mr. Brian Merritt raised an interesting question about Reputation.com on LinkedIn. Since it was posted yesterday, Brian’s question, which relates to our marketing efforts, has generated some welcome feedback, including a response from Reputation.com COO, Owen Tripp.  To see the discussion, follow this link.

As the Internet continues to evolve, so to do the challenges our clients face everyday. In order to solve these problems, it is important for all of us in the Internet industry to engage in an open and intelligent dialogue about the future of web technology.  As such, we encourage you to join the dialogue begun by Mr. Merrit on LinkedIn, and, furthermore, to engage Reputation.com through other channels as well. If you’re on Facebook, make sure to check out the Reputation.com Fan Page. You can also find Reputation.com on Twitter.

One of the key ways companies like ours drive traffic (i.e., potential customers) into our website is by using affiliate marketers – basically other website owners who will market reputation and privacy products on our behalf.  Here’s how it works in our case:

Step 1: These website owners (“Affiliates” as they are called) sign up for the Reputation.com affiliate program (takes but a couple of minutes) and then we review them to make sure they are good people who operate ethical websites.

Step 2: They tell their website users to go to Reputation.com and our associated web sites (like the Global Do Not Call List) by using easy-to-setup web banners or text links that we supply to them on the affiliate website.

Step 3: They sit back and watch the money flow in.  Seriously it’s that easy – we record the transactions and then pay out according to what types of plans the user chooses.

I wanted to write about this today because I think it’s a dead-simple way to make a lot of money selling in-demand products on the web.  Yesterday I signed a check for $5000 for one week of an individual affiliate’s work.  No joke.

So if you have a website and would like to make money by joining our network, sign up as an affiliate today. And if you found this post interesting, drop me a note and I’ll blog again with more advanced tips for your website.

We look forward to working with you!
