After my post yesterday about the influence of twitter for the affiliates, I was reminded that it is in the tension and friction that not only do people feel engaged, but their learning is deep.
So to answer my own question, it’s not unreasonable for mobile users to be expect to click a link on your tweet that leads them to a post that has an affiliate link.
Why?
People like to explore. People like to journey to find information and with each click, they are getting closer to achieving that goal.
Yesterday, I slipped into the trap that too many teachers slip into. I underestimated people rather than setting high expectations and creating a meaningful experience that will lead to new information.
