Music Wizard Affiliates Tools & Training Site

It's never been easier to add Piano Wizard videos to your web site. Shareasale has created a great new feature to allow merchants to share their videos with affiliates.
Embedding them on your web site is a breeze! The videos feature a "share" button for social networking, "cue points" - a sliding window which shows products and related landing pages, and more.

Here's how to grab them:

1. Log in to your ShareaSale account and choose Get a Link/Banner
2. Scroll down and look for Allegro Multimedia, Inc - and click Get Links
3. Look for the line: Allegro Multimedia, Inc offers the following types of links:
4. Below that, click on Video Creatives. Be aware that that link may NOT YET appear as Shareasale is still in the process of implementing this feature. But the feature is active so if it's not there, click VIEW ALL creatives available
5. Your Video links will appear there at the top of the list.
6. You have the option of previewing the video and getting your embed code.

Check back again often as we plan to add more videos. We are also in the process of creating a datafeed. We will make an announcement once it is available.

Not yet an active affiliate? Historically, our strongest season is just around the corner, so get your links now!

At the suggestion of an affiliate, we've created two widgets that show two new piano wizard informational videos and have three affiliate links in them.

The page that has the code for these new videos also allows you to customize their size to fit perfectly on your site.

Remember, you must replace the three instances of "#####" in the code with YOUR ShareASale affiliate ID before the links will work for you.

Here's the page with the new Piano Wizard affiliate videos

Flash Games

It's been crazy lately getting our flash games all ready to be used by our affiliates. We had a few programming glitches that had to be worked out but I'm happy to report that they have been resolved and we should be able to make those available to all of you soon.

The flash games are more involved than the flash demo, they have several other games for young kids that are music related, including, of course, the online flash demo of Piano Wizard. You can see one application of them at http://www.utah-newspapers.com/learn-to-play-piano.

They're really kind of cool, you can edit a file that comes with it to include your own affiliate link and so whenever anyone clicks through from the games to PianoWizard.com, it's through your link. As soon as I can get a how-to-implement document together and edit them to be generic for any affiliate, I'll make the files available. (should be ready within days).

Referral Page Content Grist

I had set up an automatic blog to gather links to pages around the Internet that have content about Piano Wizard and Allegro Rainbow. For some strange reason, the software put an affiliate's URL in the title of a posting but the content of the entry had a link to someone else's site. The affiliate was concerned about that, thinking it had been done intentionally.

Although I fixed that particular entry, it occured to me that other affiliates might find the "news blog" a problem when other affiliates' link pages show up and there's haven't yet. So, to avoid the hassle of a fight over that, I removed the news blog and included a link to PianoWizard.com's page of reviews on our Music Wizard Affiliate Tools page (at the bottom).

The idea is that you can use ideas from those reviews to create a referral page on your site(s) with your affiliate links in place.

Should mention that last week, we added a PDF document to help those new to the world of affiliate marketing to create affiliate links. It goes through the gory details so anyone who can operate a computer can create an affiliate link.
