    The Importance of Link Tracking for Affiliate Success

    Hey there,

    Welcome to Issue #2 of The Pizza Plan Newsletter

    One thing I learned fast is that tracking your links is the secret to growing an affiliate business. Without it, you’ll be guessing what works.

    Story / Lesson

    I used to promote everything without tracking clicks. I thought “more traffic = more leads.”
    Turns out, most traffic wasn’t converting. Once I started tracking links, I knew exactly which posts, platforms, and emails were actually working.

    Tip of the Week

    • Use a link tracker (like LeadsLeap)
    • Add unique tracking to every campaign
    • Review weekly to see what works

    Personal Finance Corner

    Tracking helps you invest in what actually produces results, instead of wasting money on random strategies.

  • The Pizza Plan 2025 Edition

    After about 2 years of being offline, the newest edition of The Pizza Plan for 2025 will be released soon.

    I bought The Pizza Plan from Jon Olson and Blain Jones in 2022.

    At that point Blain created a new website, Jon rewrote the ebook and Eliana Gomez creatd the graphics and affiliate tools.

    In 2023 the site stopped working and kept giving error messages.

    I kept the domain and backed up the content on the site and now I am starting over with a new site and a revised ebook with different programs and a resource page.

    The basic idea is still the same.

    We will focus on 4 evergreen programs that are/should be the foundation of every online business.

    Those are:

    An autoresponder to build your audience/customer list

    Tracking to help understand where you are doing well or need improvements

    Hosting for your blog

    And an educational/community hub to share and learn with other people who are doing what you are. Affiliate marketing.

    I am excited about getting this project started again.

    And happy that I have finally found the way to get it done.
