Affiliate Marketing Tycoon

**bob73** · 08-25-2007, 09:34 AM

If you are a newbie like me in affiliate marketing, then you most likely don't have funds to do PPC advertising for any affiliate program. One thing is true without clicks your website is dead in the water.

I started my first blog on the 12th of August and managed made $250 in that week. I didn't even spend a dime advertising. The most important thing as a newbie is to try and leverage your time on promoting your blog without necessarily using advertising for traffic. PPC and other internet methods are expensive if you don't know what you are doing.

And trust me there is a lot to learn before you decide to spend that dollar like writing a good add copy,Tweaking to increase the CTR (Click through Rates),optimizing your ad bids to maximize impressions without going overboard the most effective types of online ads (sponsored, adwords, banners,etc

I looked for a software on click bank that i could promote and settled on pc 2007 elite edition. This had the highest conversion ratios and less return rates. I needed an effective way that i could use to market for free on the internet for my first blog on satellite tv on pc softwares.

So i went and wrote about 20 articles on several PC satellite tv software reviews subjects related to satellite TV on computer softwares. I built up my website in a day and posted the articles on several ezines, then waited. Sure enough i had a sale on the first day, 2 on the second, 5 on the third and it kept getting better. Right now im in a frenzy of writing them articles. I never actually thought it possible that i could earn any money online.

Below i have included some of the article submission ezines that i have found most effective and that drove good traffic to my blog.
ezinearticles.com
goarticles.com
ideamarketers.com
articlesbase.com
searchwarp.com
amazines.com
buzzle.com
afroarticles.com
articlesdashboard.com
articlegarden.com
articlealley.com
article99.com

There are thousands others that you can post your software reviews articles to, for example. The best method i have found is to pick a product to promote from click bank, write several short articles based on my reviews of the product and then post these in the above ezines. The best thing in this method is that you hardly spend a cent on advertising.

Happy banking.

If its free to submit why skip the rest? There's no reason not to submit to them.

Thanks for sharing your experience and result. So did you put HOP link into article or just link to your blog(landing page)?

**skyhawk133** · 08-27-2007, 03:31 PM

Nice list and good info.

I just use ezinearticles most of the time. For the re-direct question posted above. I own a 4 letter domain name and always use a re-direct with special tracking. Best way to find what works so you can do more of it.

ezinearticles has given much more success than a few of the others you mention and I have posted there.

but i do think it has to do with your topic and the content in your article.

**LeeD** · 09-04-2007, 09:14 AM

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

Do you know of any FireFox extension to post articles on multiple sites? It would really help. Based on your profile, user and pass, the extension could login and post your article. Something like Windows Live for blogs.

The problem with the Ezine Articles is that it does not allow selling in its article. They claim the review article as simple selling.

Moreover some say if we write an article at post it in our blog we have to wait for a considerable time so that the search engine doesn't feel that we have duplicated the content from ezine, and other article directories.

That is good bob, any other affiliate programs that you recommend.

I have a couple of questions.

1) Did you actually buy the software you 'reviewed' ? In other words did you make it up? Not that I really care tbh, just wondering.

2) How many articles did you actually submit?

Thanks in advance,

DC

Adsense is one of the simplest ways, but there is a lot of competition. If you have a product or service, you can earn more.
