Welcome back to our blog. Recently I've been asked to give a history of ItsTheRightWay.com.
My name in case you don't already know is Anthony and I'm the owner of ItsTheRightWay.com - The shopping Supersite.
Two years ago my dream of creating a political website came to reality. Yes, the early days and first 6 months of my site was primarily a political and news commentary website.
Over the next two yeas, the site would go through a number makeovers and finally operate solely as a shopping site.
Over the past two years my online marketing experience has grown and I now can call myself an affiliate marketing expert.
My passion is online marketing and promotion. I love operating a shopping site.
People who know me view me as a passionate individual. I now bring my passion to the shopping arena.
I love people and I'm driven by my goal to bring a rewarding shopping experience to my site's visitors.
Of course I want to make sales and earn a decent income but my main goal is to create a shopping arena where my visitors can find the products and services they want at reasonable prices.
The site's Daily Promotions Page was created with that goal in mind.
I'm sure that my visitors can see that promotions, savings and special offers are made available throughout my site.
The site has been designed with my visitors in mind. The site is dedicated to all the people who visit the site and continue to come back.
I'm a people person who craves human interaction. This site has been extremely rewarding as far as the human interaction is concerned.
I still become very excited when a customer emails me. This is my opportunity to have contact with the wonderful people who visit ItsTheRightWay.com.
So if you're here looking for the old commentary website, I'm sorry but that is the site of the past.
This site is open to everyone, no matter their political affiliations, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, etc.
The old site may have alienated people who didn't align with the site's political orientation.
Hopefully this site will make everyone feel welcome and be a place were their individuality is welcomed, tolerated and embraced.
I believe all my customers have something to offer and I look forward to receiving their emails.
Let me know what you like about the site or what improvements you would like to see.
I value all your opinions.

Sharing Information
Before I get to this week's article I want to inform you with this week's updates to ItsTheRightWay.com - The Shoppin Supersite.
I added a Halloween Store for our customers. Check it out by clicking here.
The Sarahmax All In One Online Mall now has over 520 merchants listed at the mall.
The Price Comparison Network now has over 8 million products for my visitors to search for the best price.
Now onto this week's article:
Sharing Information With Fellow Affiliates
The natural tendency when a person owns a business is to keep everything about their business secret and not share information with competitors.
This isn’t different when it comes to online marketing but is it the best practice?
I don’t believe so. I’m sure if you talked to successful salespeople they will tell you that they share information with colleagues all the time. We’re not talking about trade secrets or information that can give your colleagues a competitive advantage.
Why would you want to share your information?
The first reason is to build a network of trust. There are many affiliate marketers out there, many with outstanding ideas. It’s much easier to be successful if you have a network of colleagues that you can share information with.
The second reason is the bottom line. It’s good for business. Let’s say you exchange information with a fellow affiliate that you’ve built a solid and trustworthy relationship with and that affiliate has a customer that is looking for a particular product that they don’t carry. That affiliate is more likely to refer the customer to you because of the relationship that you’ve built with them.
This works to their advantage because they know you’ll be more likely to refer a sale back to them in the future.
The final reason is that affiliates can’t be all things to everyone. It’s important to build a network with fellow advertisers so that you can provide the maximum value for your customers. Who better to build a network with then with fellow affiliates?
Affiliate marketing is coming into its own and is starting to blossom. While there are many Gorilla affiliates out there, many of us are smaller and are trying to survive. Like traditional salespeople we need to build relationships with our colleagues and build a network that can help us all succeed.
Sharing information is about the bottom line. It’s about succeeding in this business. It’s also about giving a face to an otherwise invisible realm of marketing.
Don’t be scared that you are going to fall to your competitors. Think of it as building a house. It takes many people to complete the building of a house. The same is true with affiliate marketing.
Once you’ve built a web of trust with your fellow affiliates, you will have relationships with advertisers from diverse backgrounds and a multitude of skills.
Once these relationships are formed you can then provide your customers with the maximum resources and quality information that they’re looking for. Your customers will begin to trust you and will likely return to your online business in the future.
Affiliates need to think outside the box and start working on building constructive relationships with fellow affiliates so that their businesses can truly blossom
