I am betting that Near Field Communications aka NFC technology is going to be the next big thing in direct, targetted affiliate marketimg if you start to look outside the box.
Consumer Targetting at its best...
Local tags and websites supporting NFC tags are going to lead the way in how we assimilate with mobile technology.
If your website is not now already compliant and readable on multiple mobile operating systems then you need to get moving now!
Almost every site that I have is readable through any mobile device, using every operating system. Even this forum will move over to a mobile format in March so you can keep in touch with us on the go.
Review your own websites on your mobile phone...pretty or frig**in non navigational and delusive?
If you are using Word Press CMS then there are few good plugins that will instantly turn your blog/website into a beautiful mobile readable site.
Mobile is the future and mobile devices view your content differently as a tabletop monitor or notebook.
Build for the future now, investigate how you can integrate NFC technology into your websites and campaigns looking inside and outside the box.
Mostly make sure your content is accessible for
every visitor that lands on your url.
Next generation affiliate ideas are abound with NFC... read about it, study/think/research, and then apply what you learned.
I am already developing a few ideas that will turn a "touch" into $$$`s already...
