Every October we at OneGreatFamily honor National Family History Month. In 2003 the United States Senate officially recognized October as National Family History Month, a time "to encourage family history research, education, and the sharing of knowledge."

Each October OneGreatFamily lowers the prices of our subscriptions during this month to encourage visitors to sign up. October is usually the highest revenue month of the year. This means more sales for you! It will also encourage visitors to sign up immediately.

Affiliate Tip: Testimonials as Text Links

I am a true believer that one of the best ways to increase your success as an affiliate it so prepare your visitors before they visit our site. One of the most effective ways to do this is to write a testimonial. We offer a 7-day free trial that makes it easy for you to check out our great product so you can write a personal review of OneGreatFamily on your site. It will also help with Search Engine rankings ;)

The following article was written by Shawn Collins

One of the most effective advertisements for a product or service can be a customer testimonial or a review from an objective source. With all of the hyped up advertising copy out there, consumers are skeptical marketing efforts.

This can be difficult to overcome, but as an affiliate, your job is to pre-sell the offer and initiate the relationship of trust between the consumer and merchant. And a recommendation from a satisfied client or industry publication serves as a very persuasive sales tool.

The testimonial as affiliate text link provides tangible proof to your site visitors and newsletter readers that the company you are promoting is capable of doing what they boast about. This sort of creative can be as short as several words, or as long as a paragraph or full page.
