Being an affiliate marketer is often a difficult enterprise. There is much more to learn than most of us anticipated when we first started. And the learning curve can be so steep that many simply give up.
The most frequent difficulty among failed or failing affiliate marketing enterprises is buying magical, secret plans and not implementing them to test if they actually work. Some are no more than buyers; they don’t even read the books or watch the videos they buy. I hope that you are among those who will remain dedicated over the long haul, consistently updating your knowledge base and actually applying what you learn by taking action. If not, please just stop reading, because you’ll simply waste money, and your business will fail, regardless. I’m sorry for being so blunt.
There are two resources for affiliate marketers that I include in my recommendations. One has to do with using a marketing approach using blog entries, not only your blogs but the blogs of many other businesses. This system is a very valuable membership site called My Article Network. Here I’m going to focus upon one use to which an affiliate marketer can put it, although the prior link will deliver you to a lengthier description of how the entire system works and may benefit you.
If you use the traditional method of article marketing, you write articles and submit those articles to article directories. With that method, your links are limited to the author’s resource box, usually published at the end of the article. In the new method of article marketing, you can use the much more effective contextual linking, that is placing your links directly within the content of the article, where they are far more likely to deliver targeted traffic to your vendor’s site. Most of the major article directories will not allow you to use affiliate links in your own 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. It is a brand new version of Anik Singal’s well received Affiliate Classroom. Singal, who was named as one of four Business Week Magazine’s young entrepreneurs of 2008, has spent two years, along with his partner, revamping the critically acclaimed program to make it even more expansive and comprehensive. If you are truly serious about improving your affiliate marketing business, at least sign up to receive the full information.
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.
