If you’ve tried affiliate marketing before and didn’t see the success you were looking for, it’s probably because you were working too hard. The simple affiliate model that I’m going to share with you, I could probably charge $27 for, but I’m going to give it to you Free. Are you O.k. with that?
In just a second you’re going to see just how easy it is to promote clickbank products or any other products online, but I want to share this with you first.
Like you, I have bought a lot of products, programs and services. Some of them turned out to be good sources of information that have increased my ability to earn money online and others turned out to be nothing more than a friggin’ donation. So if you’re frustrated right now and affiliate marketing has become more “fight than fun”, then this model should prove to make it fun again.
Anyway, here goes:
The first thing you have to do is figure out what you want to promote. You can go to Clickbank, Paydotcom, Affiliate Programs and just about a million other places to find something, but you gotta find something.
Next make sure that what you’re interested in promoting, a lot of other people are looking for. Don’t waste your time promoting something nobody is looking for. That’s when you start to bang your head against the wall. Stop that.
Do some quick keyword research using Google’s free keyword tool and see how often the subject your interested in is being searched for and then go to Google search and see how many websites are competing for that term. But don’t get hung up with that.
Now once you’ve decided on what you want to promote, get your affiliate link. If you have a lot of affiliate links, go into notepad on your computer and open up a file and call it “affiliate links”. It’s an easy way to keep all of your affiliate links in one place. When you need one, you can just go and grab it.
Once you’ve gotten your affiliate link, go to the affiliate tools page for the program you want to promote and look for a banner. If they have choices, that’s even better.
Now what you’re obviously going to need is a place to put this stuff. So open up another tab in your browser if you’re using firefox or open up a new page if you’re using Internet Explorer and go to blogger.com.
Setting up your blog on blogger is basically paint by numbers, but…
In the title of your blog be sure to incorporate your main keyword. In the url of your blog you will also want to use your main keyword.
It will look like this: http://howtoplayfootball.blogspot.com [this is an example].
You can also use the product name as the keyword in your title, but jazz it up a little. Make it interesting.
Pick a template for your blog that won’t detract from the content you’re going to put on it. Simple layouts work great for converting visitors to buyers.
You can find an example here:
http://simple-online-income.blogspot.com
So here’s where it get’s fun. Put the banner at the head of your post and then you’re going to generate some content for your post. For content you can write a short 250-300 word article related to the product your promoting.
You can get the content from Private Label Rights material a good Free source is here: PLR Wholesaler
Don’t just copy and paste the article, because that’s what other people are doing and you won’t get anywhere in the search engines doing that. What you want to do is rewrite the article in your own words. Your basically saying the same thing with your own words. Make sense?
Make sure to include your keyword in your articles at least 2-3 times.
You can also search article directories for related content and apply the same rewriting concept to fill your blog with useful and appropriate content.
Once you’re done with that you can hit “publish” to make your article “live” on the web. Do not include any affiliate links in your article. That’s what the banner is for.
On the sidebar of your site all you need is your archives and links to other products created by that publisher or Clickbank Hop Ads. You can find that at Clickbank, click on resources and look for the post on hop ads, the rest is paint by numbers simple.
If you want to put an “about me” box on it. Post a picture of the product your promoting and a link to it.
Write about 5-10 articles each with the same banner at the top of each post. As your reader makes their way through the information the only place they will be able to click to get more information will be your banner.
Do not put adsense on your blog. If you put adsense on your blog then you’re settling for a 5cent click versus a $27, $47, or $77 commission. I don’t know about you, but $77 sounds better to me than 5cents.
The only way out for your visitor is the back button or the payment button. Get it?
Anyway, the next thing you have to do is drive traffic to your site. You can do this by writing and publishing articles on sites like:
- Ezine articles
- Go articles
- Article Alley
- Article Dashboard
And about a dozen others, those are just the ones that come to mind right now. In addition to writing articles, you can social bookmark your site in places like, Digg,Propeller,De.li.cious, StumbleUpon, etc. for fast traffic.
A good tool to use is Only wire that will let you bookmark about 15-20 sites with one click. Be sure to put your keywords where the tags box is located. And that’s it.
Want more traffic? write more articles.
