Amplify Your Own Affiliate Marketing Efforts
Affiliate marketing can be a tough business. We need to know a lot more than we thought when we first entered the field. The learning curve is too steep for some, and many simply drop out.
If you’re reading this, I hope that you are one of those select few who will stay committed over the long haul, constantly increasing your knowledge base and actually applying what you learn by taking action. The most common problem among failed affiliate marketers is buying magic, secret plans and not implementing them to see if they actually work as promised. Some are no more than buyers; they don’t even read the books they buy.
I want to recommend two wonderful resources for affiliate marketers. One of those is a new approach to article marketing that automatically forwards your articles to many blogs as well as traditional websites, not just those you run yourself. The system is called MyArticleNetwork. I have described the way it works elsewhere (see that link). Here, I am going to describe one way that it can be used creatively by an affiliate marketer.
If you write an article for distribution via one or more article directories, your link is limited to the author’s resource box, usually placed at the bottom of the content. With this new system, you can put up to three links directly into the article itself. Contextual links are much more effective. Furthermore, the top article directories (those with the most traffic, which are most likely to show up in the search engine directories) will not allow you to place a direct affiliate link into even the resource box. With this system, affiliate links are permitted. You can get a feel for the whole process by visiting the site for this unique article marketing approach that will pre-spin your article so that unique versions are distributed to websites and blogs within your niche from their membership of over 10,000 websites.
My other top recommendation is a complete learning system for affiliate marketers. This is a completely revamped reissue of Anik Singal’s famous AffiliateClassroom. Singal earned recognition as one of the young entrepreneurs of 2008 by Business Week, a top publication. Singal has spent the last two years totally remaking this ground breaking program. I strongly urge you to sign up for the complete information before all the spaces are taken. No joke, this will fill very quickly.
If you see simply a squeeze page, that means that the course has not yet opened. Fill it out to receive updated information, as it is being launched very soon. If it has already sold out when you arrive, check for a waiting list, and sign up if one becomes available. Good luck!
Anticipating a question that I would ask, yes, both of these have affiliate programs, but you can’t use your own affiliate links to purchase either membership. You must sign up for both prior to gaining access to the affiliate programs.
