If it’s “All-Important,” it’s a Myth in Affiliate Marketing
Posted by: | CommentsPerhaps the biggest myth in affiliate marketing is the idea that any one aspect of it is “all-important.” It’s all important. It is an organic process. The whole enchilada, in all of its aspects, is the key to success.
By comparison, what do you think is the most important organ in the human body? Is it the heart? Is it the brain? The liver? The kidneys? The fact of the matter is that all of your organs are there for a reason. Without any one of them, there’s a good chance that you would be dead.
Your Entire Marketing Strategy is Important
The same is true of your marketing strategy. There is no one aspect of it that can stand alone and give you success. Anyone who says so is a flat-out liar.
According to Google, “Content is king.” However, without a high page ranking, your content will never be seen. Content by itself will not get you a high SERP rank. If people don’t see what you’re saying, they naturally won’t Read More→
Updating Content for Getting Traffic to Your Website
Posted by: | CommentsKeeping your ranking on the search engines and getting traffic to your website depend largely on regularly updating your content. Search engines love a dynamic website, and in the words of Google, “Content is king.” How to keep fresh content on your site depends largely on what your site is meant for.
How to Keep Affiliate Websites on the Cutting Edge
Affiliate websites are some of the most difficult websites to update. They usually amount to only having a page or two, and the content is pretty well set from the word “go.” What you’re left with is tweaking different elements to stir things up.
Chances are that you worked hard to create the perfect pitch, and you don’t want to mess with that. So, let’s look at the other elements on your page. Do you have a video on your page? If not, put one up. If so, put up a different one or at least change the tag. The anchor text leading to your opt-in page can usually be changed pretty readily. You can put up new testimonials or change old ones out (quite a substantial change in the copy!), have an editable countdown for empty seats, and so on. The point is to change enough stuff on the page that the search engines notice. Then, ping it!
News Sites are Easy to Keep Up-to-Date
Among the easiest (and most essential) websites to regularly update content on are news sites. If you’re doing news on a particular niche, the easiest thing to do is Read More→
Building Your List through Joint Ventures
Posted by: | CommentsBuilding your list with joint ventures is the quickest and easiest way to build your list. I know, I’ve said it a thousand times, but I wouldn’t be harping about it if it didn’t work. After all, why go through all the effort of building your own list when you can hit on someone else’s?
Start Looking for a Partner on Marketing Forums
If you’re just getting started, you’d probably have to sell the family farm to make it to a marketing convention. That’s why marketing forums are good. It takes some work and some time, but if the conventions would break your bank, this is the place to go.
The first rule you need to know is to observe for awhile before you start making posts. You’ll want to get a feel for the place before saying anything. Warrior Forum isn’t too snarky, but you can sure bet that on Wicked Fire, you’re going to get negative comments, Rick-Rolled, or worse, if you just jump in and ask for advice, tools, or partnerships.
Building Your Brand in the Forums
With that in mind, you should be building your brand before you start talking about partnerships. No one is going to want to partner with a newbie. You have to Read More→
