About Visual Link Spanish
Licensed Spanish Instructors
For you affiliates that run study abroad programs, here at the U.S. Institute of Languages we not only sell Spanish programs, but we also train and license Spanish instructors. Visual Link Spanish™ has been successfully taught at the university level for the past 4 years, and it can also be used as curriculum for your study abroad program! If you are interested, let me know and we can get you special rates and information about licensing your instructors. We have programs where they can become licensed virtually for free.
When the course is taught with an instructor, it combines overhead transparency/PowerPoint™ lessons with software learning and online exam tracking and testing. It is a system that has proven effective time and time again!
Affiliate Tip of the Month!
Add a Testimonial to your Affiliate Link
The effectiveness of an affiliate link will dramatically increase with an official endorsement from you. Your visitors trust you. Obviously you endorse any product that appears on your website; otherwise you wouldn't have it on your site. But an extra line next to the link stating you've tried the product or that you suggest trying it, instills confidence in the product and leads to greater sales. If you have not had a chance to see the program itself, I will happily send you our demo CD-ROM (for free) so you can really see how the program works.
Put Your Affiliate Link in Ticket Confirmations
If you run a travel site, a successful way to earn more money is to put the affiliate link in your ticket confirmations. You can put something like, "To learn Spanish Free before your trip, Click Here!" If you need help setting it up, I can help you customize the link and design what to put in the confirmation. Needless to say, the higher in the e-mail you put the "learn Spanish" info, the better results you will have. For help or questions, just e-mail me at brock@spanishprograms.com.
New Banner Links
As to links in general, I'm working on designing a couple of new affiliate links and banner ads. If you have any requests for different link sizes or different link designs please let me know at brock@spanishprograms.com. I'd love to have a couple of new links that better fit the needs of your site.
Feedback
That's all for this month. Please let me know if you need or desire anything as one of our affiliates. Let me know about those links!
Best regards,
