Hotel’s.com has launched an affiliate program that will allow Facebook page owners to earn commissions through the Hotels WithMe App. This is one of the first attempts of businesses to combine affiliate marketing with social networking.
Once an affiliate partner adds the Hotels WithMe App on their Facebook page they will immediately benefit from any bookings done through it. Performance monitoring can be done through the AffiliatePerformance management tool.
Josie Shah who is the director of partner marketing at Hotels.com had this to say: “The launch of the affiliate program utilising the app is a unique innovation for Hotels.com, and one we are pleased to be spearheading.
“The use of this app through Facebook pages will be of particular interest to those championing sports events, bands or concert tours as it can be pre-set with default dates and locations to match multiple tour dates.
“This offers a useful service to fans of the Facebook page as well as great commission opportunities for the owner.
If this becomes a success then we might be seeing more link ups between affiliate marketing and social networking sites such as Facebook.

If you are looking for an easy way to save and share your files then Dropbox is the tool you are looking for. Once a file is uploaded to your Dropbox account it automatically synchronizes any devices that are connected to your account. You will thus be able to access the files on your smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.
The great thing about this service is that you can sign up for it for free. The free account gives you 2 GB of online storage space which is more than enough for the average Internet marketer. If you need more space there are also paid subscriptions which allow you to have up to 100 GB of storage space.
One great advantage of this service is that if you are working with a team separated in different geographical locations you can easily collaborate on a file using Dropbox. No need to send emails back and forth which could often be confusing since you will have difficulty determining the latest revisions.
There are other free online storage solutions in the market today however nothing compares to the ease of use and the functionality that Dropbox offers to Internet marketers.
