Affiliate Article Marketing

I sure that if you searched for making money on the internet or article marketing then you have come across numerous offers of products on how to do this. Some promising you how to further purchase the right keywords for your articles. Some offering that elusive element that separates the big boys from the little men. Some even offering you a program which will write the article for you. Whilst I wouldn’t presume to say that all of these are snake oil salesmen I think it’s fair to say that some are. I’ve no doubt that the program for writing articles does exactly what it says it does, but I would argue that I think personal experience and a naturally written article speaks for itself.

So how can you market a product using articles and more importantly how can you make money from it? Well first you need to sign up to an affiliate marketplace, just Google search ‘affiliate marketplace’ and you will find all you need. Then you need to choose a product. Once the product is chosen it’s generally a good idea to purchase it or at least try out its theory, there is nothing worse than someone writing about something they have never used. Then submit your article to an article database, again just Google search the term. Providing its good enough the piece will be accepted and available for anyone to view.

The mystery that most people have trouble with is traffic or how do I make my article the most popular? This truly is the holy grail of any marketing venture. Some people will use purchased target words, these words will then feed the article on a pay per click basis. Yes this method cost’s money and being honest I have personally always been slightly sceptical of this method, I have yet to meet or see someone who has showed me that the cost of their target words is in line with their income. You could use a SEO or ‘search engine optimisation’ program or site, again some of these cost money and you really need to know what you are doing or you gain any of the benefits. I have no clue how SEO works so I wouldn’t presume to tell you how, but if you really know your way around the internet it’s definitely worth looking into.

For all those that don’t know the internet that well, myself included, Travis Sago has the perfect solution. He has constructed a fantastic software package that shows you all of the above and best of all he shows you how to it for free! You can find it here:

How to affiliate using articles

Article writing can be a difficult chore for an expert to undertake so imagine an amateur trying to take up the mantle. The internet is a place filled with 'How to' and advice articles on everything from business to walking your dog. So how does an amateur break into this word and make a name for himself. Well you could start by testing the waters, find a subject you know bit about and write an article about it. It doesn't have to be a long and drawn out description about how you go about putting seeds the right way up in a pot, just a simple 400-500 word article. Keep it short and informative. After this hand it to the most honest friend you have, they have to be honest to critic your work. Follow their advice, after all its people like them you are targeting, make the changes and submit to one of the many article submission sites, such as, E-zine, Articlebase or Amazines. There you go one completed article, if you feel you are a confident writer you can skip the first part and go straight to submission.
You're probably thinking what's the point in doing this? and after checking out the numerous article sites on the net, why are so many people doing it? People write and submit these articles for a multitude of reasons, some do it for giving others the gift of their knowledge, some do it to try and garner the attention of a employer who needs someone to write good articles, but there can be no question that the most overriding factor for writing these articles is money. Before you start to get money signs flashing around your eyes, you don't get paid per article submitted, most of these sites are free to join therefore free submissions. The way most make money is by affiliation, you have probably already seen it and didn't realise it!
Affiliation is exactly what it means, to promote something by affiliation. Think of it this way if you were writing an article about a fantastic book you read about beating the casino, why not add a link to the book so people can buy it. Best thing is when they read your stunning article and are ready to look into your idea, there you are with a fresh and juicy hoplink for the book or product. And before you start thinking 'well my expertise is building models, how can I sell any book or products about that' don't join clickbank and have a look at the marketplace, there is a category for every think imaginable.
Charlie Page was one of the first to really exploit this money making opportunity over ten years ago, so if anyone can help you he can. His book can't write the article and submit it for you, but it will show you the most important tool you will need to know, how to drive traffic to your article. His book has now gone into its second cycle or 2.0 as he calls it, this book should be like an affiliates bible, it will serve you through the next ten years of your article writing and affiliate lifestyle.
