Article Marketing (Part 6 of 6 Affiliate Marketing For Newbies course)

Forums can be great for affiliate marketing, but you have to be careful.  Most forums don’t allow you to post affiliate links in posts, so read the rules carefully.  You might still be able to link to your blog from your signature if affiliate links aren’t allowed.

Some of the top forum sites you could participate are as follows:

warriorfoum.com
forums.digitalpoint.com
wickedfire.com
webmasterworld.com
abestweb.com

Hope that you enjoy the articles and focus your attention on the basic areas for affiliate marketing.

Affiliate Marketing For Newbies-Article Marketing

Article Marketing (Part 4 of 6 Affiliate Marketing For Newbies course)

One of the easiest ways to get free traffic is by writing articles and submitting them to article directories.  Many article directories have very good authority with the search engines, so articles you submit will often rank well quickly and bring in traffic.

If you’re going to send people straight to an affiliate link, it’s a good idea to register a domain that you can use to redirect people to.  There are a couple of reasons for this.

  1. You can easily change the affiliate link if necessary, without having to go back and edit tons of articles.
  2. Some article directories require it.

Articles should be between 300 and 500 words.  It’s actually a good idea to keep articles fairly short so you don’t bore people, and because you don’t want them to feel completely satisfied.  To get the really good information, they need to visit the affiliate link in your resource box at the end of your article.

Some article directories to submit to include:

Blogging is another great way to get traffic.  It’s best if you do it on your own domain with your own hosting, but you can also make use of free blogging platforms like blogger.com and wordpress.com if you want.  If you want to have more control of your blog, blogging platform like wordpress.org would be able to give you the best blogging platform but you must have your own hosting account to host your blog.

Keyword Research (Part 2 of 6 of Affiliate Marketing For Newbies course)

Everything you do in affiliate marketing will require keywords.  Whether you choose to use PPC marketing, article marketing, blogging, or some other form of marketing, you will need to choose the right keywords if you expect to get a decent amount of traffic.

I use the Google Keyword Tool for quick and free research:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

This keyword tool is extremely easy to use.  You simply enter your seed keyword phrase and you will receive a large number of related keywords.  You can sort them by the average number of monthly searches.

You want to look for keyword phrases that have:

  • At least 1,000 monthly searches
  • Fewer than 50,000 competing sites

To check competition, you want to enter each keyword phrase in quotes into Google.  This will tell you how many people are targeting that exact phrase.

Click on the official Google Adwords Keyword Tool tutorials to learn more about this powerful free keyword tool. For more tutorials, go to the Google Adwords Learning Center and its Google Adwords official blog site http://adwords.blogspot.com.au/

I have here more tutorials links for Google Adwords Keyword tool as follows:

Affiliate Marketing for Newbies

August 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This is a 6 parts articles everything about affiliate marketing your need to know to start as an affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is an outstanding way to get started making money online, because you don’t have to invest much (or any) money, you don’t have to have your own products, and you don’t have to deal with customer service or shipping.

All you really need to be successful in affiliate marketing is a strong desire to succeed and the knowledge to make it happen. I can’t give you the motivation you need, but I can certainly get you started with the knowledge you need.

In this report, you’re going to learn the basics of getting started with affiliate marketing. You’ll learn how to choose profitable niches, how to choose the right affiliate products to promote, and how to get traffic to your offers.

Everything I’m going to teach you will require little or no upfront investment, and very little technical knowledge. These are very basic techniques that absolutely anyone can learn!

The first thing you need to do is choose a niche to promote. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. You can’t just choose a niche – you must choose a profitable niche. Not every niche is going to be as profitable as you might hope.
I have chosen niches in the past that I truly expected to be profitable, yet despite my best efforts I was unable to find a single affiliate product that would convert well enough to make the effort worth the time involved.
Fortunately, I have learned how to lessen my chances of choosing dud niches. Just a few simple steps can help you eliminate some of the risk of choosing these unprofitable niches.

Brainstorming
Your first step is to make a list of niches you’re interested in promoting. Just make a long list of niches you think might be profitable, or that you’re just interested in promoting.
Don’t worry about anything other than making a list of 10-20 niches right now. If you need help, you can always look around you for inspiration.

Here are some places to seek inspiration:
• Look around your house. Things like kitchen appliances, outdoor barbecue equipment, office supplies, audio visual equipment, and musical instruments are all niches you might spot around your house.
• Browse a bookstore – either online or offline. Try Amazon.com or a bookstore in your local neighborhood. Browse the books or magazines.
• Take a look around news websites for hot topics. Check sites like Google Buzz for new trends.

Checking Potential Profitability
Once you have a list of 10-20 niche ideas, it’s time to start narrowing them down by checking out their potential profitability.

There are three main ways I do this:

1. I check to see if there are any magazines being published in the niche. This is sometimes, but not always an indicator that a niche might be profitable.

2. I check to see how many people are advertising on Google AdWords for the niche. People aren’t likely to advertise en masse in a niche that isn’t profitable, especially if the CPC is very high.

3. I check the MSN Commercial Intention tool for some of the most popular commercial websites in the niche. http://adlab.msn.com/Online-Commercial-Intention/
