So we’ve received a few questions about how 123LinkIt works. No one has specifically asked why they should use us but I’m going to tell you anyway!

It’s only fair I explain how our affiliate plugin works in 3 steps given our Company Name so here goes:

1. First, you install our plugin (currently available for WordPress.org with others to be released soon). Step-by-step installation directions are displayed on our download page.
2. Next, you can either open a previously launched blog post or start writing a new one. When you’re finished, click on “Add Affiliate Links” and a list of recommendations will appear for you to choose from. (P.S. We’ve received feedback that users would like an automated feature that does this automatically for previous and new posts. This is something we’re currently working on – thanks for your suggestions!)
3. After the link has been embedded, you’re good to go! By this point, we’ve already cloaked the affiliate link for you and added nofollow tags so your blog isn’t penalized by search engines.

So to get to WHY you should use us, I’ll also give you 3 reasons (again, it seems appropriate):

1. We make it as easy as 1-2-3 to get started in an affiliate marketing program or to manage one (okay, we promise that’s the last time we use that reference…in this email at least ). You don’t need to sign up to an affiliate network or apply for advertisers – we take care of all that for you.
2. So you can start building a passive income stream (or increase it)! What could be better than spending an hour or two writing a blog post and then collecting residual revenue from it? That’s what motivated me to create this plugin in the first place and if I can do it so can you! Soon, I’ll be posting a blog article on how one post has helped me generate more than $6,000!
3. Because as part of our alpha launch, YOU will get to shape what the service becomes. It’s early enough that you can tell us what you want and don’t want, what features we should add, and the list goes on and on. By being one of the first ones to use us, you also get bragging rights when we hit it big

There you have it! Again, please free to reach out with any questions/comments/feedback – whatever. Thanks again to everyone who’s contributed so far.
