Top 5 Posting Methods - Affiliate Links

Once you've connected with the affiliate networks and chosen the affiliate programs that you want to work with, it's time to begin posting your affiliate links.  Each affiliate network will provide you with all the help you need in obtaining your affiliate links if you're having any trouble finding them.  With clickbank.com for example, you will simply go to the "Marketplace," search a category of your interest, and once you've selected the product, simply click "Promote."  Simply copy the link, and have it ready to paste into the sources we will be providing.


Now Your Ready to post your affiliate links.  Before we get started though, please understand you will not have to obtain your own website or blog in order to use these specific methods we will be providing you.  Although, these sources will be very beneficial for those who have decided to obtain your own website or blogging platform.

We will be providing you with some great sources, so please take your time to post your links in each one. 


Posting Method #1 - Search Engine Submission


The first place that we will want to post our links are all of the major search engines.  Posting to the search engines is extremely important because once you've built up some other quality links to the affiliate site, your search engine link will be ranked much higher.  This is extremely important for long term affiliate marketing success.  Use the link below to post your affiliate links to major search engines.

Posting Method #2 - Internet Directories


There are many internet directories online that allow you to post a small description of what your promoting, with your affiliate link cloaked right into the description.  This is more useful for building links and increasing your links search engine ranking, but can often times produce some quick sales depending on the product that your promoting.  Use the link below to post your affiliate links to hundreds of internet directories.

Note: Please don't add the same link to this source more than once per month, and make sure you put your links under the proper category for the affiliate product you're promoting.


Posting Method #3 - Classifieds


Unlike the first two methods we have shown you, posting to classified ad directories can help you get you get some immediate exposure to your affiliate links, and produce some really quick results.  Hopefully you've taken time to get a seperate e-mail account for your new internet business.  This will help you keep up with replies to your classified ads much easier.  With the next two methods we will be providing, you may receive several replies from your posts.  If you haven't set up a seperate e-mail account, we really suggest you do this.  You may end up missing out on some sales, simply by skipping over or erasing something of great importance.  Try a free gmail account by clicking the link below.

For the method just mentioned, you may even want to set up another e-mail account, simply because in order for your e-mails to be sent, you will have to receive e-mails from others.  It will be worth it though to get your e-mails out there.  Take your time, and sign up with as many of these safelists as you can, and begin sending your targeted e-mails to those who are eager to hear!

Posting Method #5 - Social Networking Sites & Forums

Now unless you just haven't owned a computer until just recently, you already know that social networking is huge.  From MySpace and Facebook, to numerous online dating sites and forums, there are a ton of different ways to connect with others.  This can mean big bucks for an affiliate marketer!

When connecting with people through social networking sites, you will be able to find out their interest over time.  Most of you probably have a MySpace account or Facebook account that you can easily get on, and begin connecting with friends.  Well, that's a great place to start.  You already know your friends interest, and will be able to provide them with quality products that could be very beneficial to them.  If they're interested in a certain celebrity, maybe you could provide them with a free celebrity app, that not only helps them keep up with that celebrity, but makes you a few dollars as well. 

It's not that hard to understand how this can be beneficial to any internet affiliate marketer.  I encourage you, however, to branch out, meet new people, and target their interests as well.  You will only be able to promote to your friends for so long before they start to think you're just trying to make a quick buck off of them.  You must be wise promoting to your close friends or you could loose some.  Of course most of them will understand and try to help you out as much as they can. 

Here are some great social networking sites you will really want to give a try.  Sign up for each of them in order to get the best results.

Coming Up Next . . .

In our next post we will be showing you how to promote your website and blog, as well as explaining how the methods in this post will be of even greater benefit to you.  I hope you're looking forward to this because this is how you can make some really big bucks online!  So Get Ready!

Where To Post - Website or Blog?

Now, hopefully you've taken time to sign up for each of the affiliate networks that were listed in our last post. If not, please take the time to do that.  By signing up with each affiliate network, you will know all that's available to you, and can gain a good idea of the products that you will feel most comfortable promoting.


After finding the programs that you believe will be most benificial to your internet business, you will now need somewhere to post your content.  In this post we will explain to you both the advantages and disadvantages of owning your own website or blog, so that you will be able to make the appropriate decision for your internet business.  We will be providing you with the different methods that you can use to promote your internet business with or without a website or blog, but we suggest you get at least one or the other in order for you to achieve even greater success online.

Website or Blog?  That's The Real Question

Website & Web Hosting - Having your own personal website and domain name can be extremely beneficial to your internet business for several reasons.  Not only will you be able to personalize your domain name a.k.a. web address or URL, so that it's easier for others to remember, but you will also be able to customize your web pages much more so than with any free blogging platform you may find.  With your own website, not only will you have multiple pages to post your content, but you will also be able to put more personal touches to your web pages, and make them much more user friendly.

Web Hosting usually runs anywhere from $5 - $15 per month.  This will depend on which web hosting provider you choose to host your business on, and how much space you believe you will need to post your content.  You will most likely have many different memory options with each web hosting service you will find, but unless you are planning on loading a huge number of videos and pictures (which isn't necessarily a bad idea), just a basic web hosting package should be sufficient.

Note: With the internet business I'm presenting to you, you will not need a ton storage space on your website because most of your data will be stored solely online through the affiliate networks you choose to join.  However, you may want to make it more personal than you will be allowed to with most blogs. 

Blog To Success - You can easily set up a free blog however, and with the right promotion tactics, achieve great success without having to pay monthly fees for web hosting.  Although you will not be able to personalize a blog like you can with your own website,  I have found this to be just as successful for the type of internet business that I run.  As long as you know how to drive qualified or targeted traffic to your site, you can get great results at absolutely no cost at all. 

Note: If you do decide to run your internet business through a blogging platform, please take time to check out the Power Blogging Course, mentioned in every post so far.  This by far will be one of the most beneficial internet business tools you could have, when promoting your blog.  Although we will be providing you with many great promotional techniques, this course will show you step by step how to make your blog successful, regardless of your internet background or experience.  People using this course have literally made up to $70,000 in as little as six months, following this programs techniques!

Whether you decide to go with your own website and personal domain name, or decide that you would rather go with a free blog . . .when deciding your web address, make sure that it will be easy enough for people to remember, so that they can get back to your site quickly if they navigate away from it for any reason.

Get your free blog right now at http://www.blogger.com/ 

In our next post we will be providing a quick overview of some promotional techniques that you will be able to use without owning either a website or blog.  These are things that you can do in as little as 10 - 15 mins, and we will show you how you can begin promoting a huge number of companies every month in your spare time.  This is a great way to get familiar with the affiliate marketing industry.  

Get Connected - Top Affiliate Networks

Now, in our last post we explained some key factors of what it takes to become successful online as an affiliate marketer.  Now that you're aware of this, you're ready to sign up with the affiliate networks that you feel comfortable working with, and start selecting a few different affiliate programs to promote.


We suggest you sign up with each of them, seeing as they are all free to join.  Feel free to do your research though, in case you feel as though any of them may be a waste of your time.

Many of the affiliate networks we are going to list here are not as well known, even by many current affiliate marketers. This is mainly because there are certain seasoned affiliates a.k.a. "super affiliates" (you will become more familiar with this term) that would rather keep them hidden from you, in order to maintain low competition . . .Only letting those who are closest to them join in on their huge profits.  Well, I hate to burst the bubble (NOT!), but Affiliate Game Revealed is truly here to help you succeed online.  

One thing you must know right off the bat . . .if you're unwilling to help others become successful, you will never truly be successful online.  Please stick with us, and make sure that you absorb all the information we will be providing you.

Get Connected - Administrative Accounts

If you've decided that you're interested in giving internet affiliate marketing a shot (Good choice!), please take time to sign up for a free PayPal account, in order to recieve payments from many of the companies you will be working with.  Some companies will cut you a check for the first few billing cycles, and will most likely give you a decision to choose direct deposit to your bank account, or direct deposit to your PayPal account.  Most companies will let you receive payments initially through your PayPal account though, so it is a necessary account to set up.

Introduction - What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Welcome To Affiliate Game Revealed!

We're glad to have you with us, and hopefully you're ready to make some good money, right from your home doing internet affiliate marketing.  It may be a bumpy ride, but if you hang with me, I know you won't regret it.  We're not here to waste your time, but to provide you with valuable information that could literally change your income bracket. 

Let's Get Started

  

Due to changes in the global economy, and people's fear of spending money,  people are now spending much more time at home than in recent years.  Since the internet has taken the primary place of entertainment in the home, most of their time is spent online.  Although internet marketing is nothing new, more people than ever are now discovering the internet as not only a great place for social networking and information, but are also finding it as one of the easiest tools you could ever use to create wealth, save time, and money!  Now is the time to jump in on this industry!  Not just to make a buck, but to provide quality, legitimate information, that will be beneficial for those who are already seeking it. 

That's why we're here.  Not only will we never require you to pay anything for the information we will be providing you, but we are dedicated to helping you achieve the success that you desire!

Let's not waste anymore time!

Introduction - What Is Affiliate Marketing?

As an affiliate marketer, you will simply be promoting products for different companies online for commissions.  These companies will pay you once the customer you "linked" to them completes the desired action the company requires.  Whether that's filling out a contact form, purchasing software, or downloading a free app . . .there are tons of unique affiliate programs that you will have the opportunity to make money with, regardless of your interests.

Note: If you don't understand all of the terminology right now . . .you will later on, once I go into more details.  For now, I ask that you just kick back and enjoy!

Most affiliate programs that you will be promoting will pay you by "percent of sale," or commission but many will pay you for "leads."  Most active affiliates know of the companies that pay you "percent of sale," but many don't know that there are affiliate programs out there that pay you for each lead you send to them. 

Trust me . . .you will want to know ALL that's available for you to work with.

Basics:  Please Understand

Before we start signing up with all of the affiliate networks, and the offers they provide, I really want you to understand something right off hand.  I believe that there is one main reason why people fail to be successful online, and one reason only . . . 

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

People tend to want to jump right into things . . .and start doing, before learning!  They start promoting products because others have been successful with them, but don't realize that the person who was successful with that product, understood it from the inside out.

This is what most people struggle with when first starting their affiliate marketing career.  They really don't know what to promote because they don't know all that's available to them.   Once you are seasoned to internet affiliate marketing, you will understand that the only way to ever truly be successful online, is by having a good understanding of the product you're promoting.

Note For Current Affiliates:  If you are currently promoting a product that you know little about . . .I would suggest that you either purchase the product for yourself so that you will have a complete knowledge of how it works, or just lay it down, and stop promoting it.  People are tired of getting involved with something that they think is one thing, and it turns out to be another.  Simply put . . .promote what your promoting!

Do your research, and once you have a good grasp of all that a program really offers, you will be able to decide if that's something that you want to invest your time and effort into or not.

Many of you may already know almost everything you need to know to begin promoting many of the affiliate programs that you will be coming across.  Trust me, there are thousands of products and programs you'll be able to choose from.  I'm sure you'll find something right up your alley!

In our next post, we will be providing you with all the companies that you will need to sign up with in order to begin working from home . . . Till then, please take time to check this out!
