There are few things in this world more terrifying than facing an inexplicable loss of profit. Rectal surgery is one of these things. However, that is not the intended point of discussion for this article. But loss of profit is.

If you’re familiar with the world of affiliate marketing, th

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

en you’ll of course know the basis for the industry, and it is you that this article is indeed geared towards. For completeness and to dispel any confusion for the casual reader let me briefly explain the concept of affiliate marketing.

An affiliate network is group of companies, groups,

Examples of combination products may in

Obviously, most everyone reading this will find that paragraph extremely rudimentary, but I felt it crucial. Now, what many, or even most of you may be unfamiliar with are the concepts of affiliate link hijacking and affiliate link bypassing. Some defin

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

tions are in order.

Assume you are an affiliate marketer. Affiliate link hijacking is when another marketer finds a link of yours to a product or service, and replaces your affiliate ID with his own, thus stealing your commission with his own.

Okay, say you advertise for a website that s

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

Affiliate link bypassing is just as bad for you, but doesn’t make a lot of sense. This is when a consumer sees your

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

So, basically, this is an ob

Well, th

With the amazing opportunities made available through the Internet (for one: you can literally make money without any money…) a vast majority of people don’t make much if they even make at all. Many are even losing money trying out different types of ‘opportunities’ online. I realized that most people fail in it because of one big reason...

The world of work has changed. It used to be that most of us worked as a part of a process, whether on an assembly line, managing interactions with Customers, or any one of a thousand other processes. Processes are ongoing, repeatable and never have an ending. If the nature of our work has changed, it is important to think about some of the skills that will help us succeed in this different world.
