Perhaps one of the most frequently asked question is, “Can you really make money online?”
I beg to differ. I know seasoned marketers who make over $20,000 each and every month. Just not the ones who want to pour huge amounts of time and effort into it.
My point is this, whether you have intentions of quitting your job or you just want to make a little extra money on the side, if you want to throw your hat into affiliate marketing, it still can be done.
You need the right information in the right places to point you in the direction of success.
If you should be fortunate enough to have a laptop staring at you from the back of a laundry room, you’re in luck. This article will help you on your way to marketing in the next generation.
The first thing I love about affiliate marketing is the fact that I’m selling something I can do my hands on. I guess I’m a little bit of a green hand at it, but I’m a card-carrying member of the affiliate marketing family. The satisfaction I get from being treated like royalty by the affiliate companies who treat me as a king is immense.
The next thing I love is the ability to work from home. I’m able to take this old work from 9 to 5 with my young family whenever I want. It is a dream come true for me, even if my business grows exponentially I will have more time with them.
No, I’m absolutely not selling you anything. I’m simply pointing you in the right direction. I’m also giving you the basic idea on how you should go about the process.
Let’s face it.
As I’m sure that you get paid for a project, what is the most efficient way of getting your name out there?
By writing articles about your niche and marketing every piece of it, I’m willing to bet you’ve seen an increase in traffic.
Did you know EzineArticles actually ranks an average of #3 for a keyword phrase. They have over 8 Million content articles out there that you can use.
What do I need to know?
As I mentioned on the beginning of this article, I had to weed out the time and effort that was going to waste on things I didn’t understand. These are things such as what affiliate networks pay, how they are paid and their conversion rate.
Does that meant I end up partially writing a bunch of articles and never have anything useful to do with them?
No.
As someone who still believes in articles as a tool for acquiring and bringing traffic, and those that come from an authority site like EzineArticles, my thoughts run along the lines of, writing unique articles makes the difference between effectiveness and splash.
With that being said I do the essential work of articles. I write them, tweak them, and revamp them.
To my previous point about targeting the right anchor text…
I use it in my resource box.
Yes, when I market I never forget that this is just a means to get my name out there.
I don’t just want the whole world to see my site, I would like you to have it.
Common things you can do on a site like YouTube or Facebook:
If a link in your resource says click here, don’t make it your link, but instead add a keyword and put that link on there.
Second thing I can do is do some keyword research to see which box gets a lot of feedback.
OK… so you’re done. How do you go about branding yourself like a guru or a top affiliate?
Well, in the back office I give you the option of selecting many different templates. You select one or two, choose a layout, and that is how you’re seen. It’s a pretty cool feature, after all, you know someone is going to be successful with a mall style to hard to read email that is targeting making money.
Ok, this one’s a do-do. This one’s passed the bar.
I’m done. Well, that’s the story of my journey, and I have a new found alert signify I’m Sporting Agent. Comments met. Take my advice. I wish you success.
