Affiliate Marketing, Blogging and Adding Meat to Bones
Published July 19th, 2008 in Affiliate. Tags: affiliate, affiliate program, affiliates, affliate marketing, blogging, blogs, make money.Every morning that I awake the internet is one of the things
that I give God thanks for. Never has it been so easy to
start your own business and you can even market it for free with
the right techniques.
Anyone from my farmer Grandmother to the beggar on the street
can have their own online business. The easiest way to start
one’s own internet business is to sign up as an affiliate and
sell a company’s services or wares for a commission.
Commissions can ranged from a measly 5% (Old Navy) to a generous
75% (Mysurveysjob.com).
The best way to get started is to head on over to Blogger.com
and build a blog. Now, don’t back away just yet, this is the
easy part. You don’t have to know any technical hogwash to
create your own blog; there are pre designed templates for you
to choose from. Just pick one which suits your taste and in no
time you are ready to start adding some meat to the bones of
your blog via content.
If you are not into writing, there are thousands of articles
sites that you can get free reprint information. Say you want to
be an affiliate in the lucrative poker industry,
Ezinearticles.com, Isnare.com and many others have hundreds of
poker articles for your perusal. All you need to do is follow
the strict reprint rules and soon your blog’s collar bones will
begin to come out of that hole.
Now that you are beginning to get familiar with your niche you
will be researching and learning more and more. Then you may
begin to compose your knowledge and share it with others in the
form of articles.
As your blog’s jawbones stop protruding with the nourishment of
content, you may feel to start networking with others. Forums
are great to meet others with a similar interest and to get
solutions to your problems and to help others solve theirs.
To make your blog have those swinging hips you need to feed it
with a list. What kind of list? A list of email prospects that
is supplied with valuable information on a regular basis via
email. You can subtly send them directly to your affiliate links
or boldly direct them to your blog with your affiliate links
strategically placed to ensure maximum exposure and click
through.
Your commissions should be reinvested into PPC ads and ezine advertising especially Solo ads. The urge to get your own domain
name and hosting may start to grow and this is strongly urged.
But if you choose to remain on Blogger like me then no problem;
it’s not what you have but what you do with it that counts.
Now for the burning question? How soon will your blog go from
skin and bones to having those swinging hips? A few months to a
year would be a good time frame. If you add just two posts a day
to your blog in six months time you would have hundreds of pages
with traffic generating keywords intact. Still don’t want to
wait that long? Look at this way. Even Popeye knows that Olive
could not be bouncy like Oprah in two months time. So why would
you expect your affiliate business to accomplish that goal?
