Free Article Spinner, Must Have Affiliate Tool

Carl Ebber — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 20:02:33 +0000

Article marketing is a great way to:

Get more traffic to you affiliate offers
Build backlinks to your existing affiliate offers

Even though mass submitting the same article to tons of article directories may have some effect, the real key to getting most money for your time and effort is to submit unique articles.

Google loves backlinks, good SEO website structure and unique content.

Google (and other search engines) will therefore rank your articles higher if they are consisting of unique content.

A great and time saving way to do this is to use an article spinner, which basically is an affiliate tool that converts your article into numerous unique ones.

How?

You enter your article and select words you want replaced with synonyms – words with the same meaning. Do this throughout your article and the tool will randomly choose which synonym to use, and your new article ends up being unique.

I recently came across Spin Profit which saved me time and effort by doing all this for me.

And the best thing? It’s 100% free.

Go and have fun with this affiliate tool today, and go make some profit in the process.

Product Review As Affiliate Strategy

Carl Ebber — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:38:42 +0000

When first starting out as an affiliate marketer, many choose to earn their first income by reviewing products to receive a sale when someone ends up buying the product.

This is perhaps the easiest way to earn quick commissions..

..if done properly!

This blog posts discusses how to write good reviews about information products, but feel free to adjust the techniques for promoting other types of products as well.

Keep in mind the following when writing reviews:

Buy the product you are promoting, or get a review copy. You can be way better at selling something you have seen and tried first hand, than just from quick guesses.
Also mention not so positive sides about the product, but include how your reader can make up for that by giving them free information or how to report/video which solves the problem. Your reader will trust your review more if they see your review is not just a salespitch.
Include ratings in form of stars, dices etc
Make a video where you show the viewers all or some of the following: you buying the product, a peak at the members area or inside an ebook (ask product owner for permission if in doubt), go through the sales letter with them.
Get an interview with the product owner

The list above was ment to give you ideas and affiliate tips to use and make you get creative and have fun while writing reviews.

Once you get the hang of this affiliate strategy you will get the feeling of how to build and write a review in a short time.

Don’t forget to make your review both balanced, revealing, educational and unique. Get the review recipe right, and you have a winner strategy for great affiliate income.

Setting Goals As An Affiliate

Carl Ebber — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:03:20 +0000

Setting goals as an affiliate is key to success!

And, make sure your goals are:

attainable
not too easy to make
some are short term
some are big and long term
divide big goals into manageable chunks

Even if you have all the time in the world at your hand, if you don’t have clear goals as an affiliate, you easily waste too much time.

Make a point out setting a goal for what you want done 30 days from now, and do something consistently every day for 30 days.

The results you’ll see are amazing, especially if setting goals are alien to you.

Just jotting down on paper a few goals has great impact, as you commit to the goals by just stating them.

Affiliate Learn By Doing

Carl Ebber — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:30:23 +0000

As an affiliate marketer, learning is an important part of our livelihood.

Affiliate learn new stuff often daily when developing a new offer, blog, website, squeezepage, video etc.

Without knowledge and continous experimentation, implementation and training, an affiliate learn nothing and easily fails.

To make sure you are on the top of your game, always try to watch a video, read some pages from an ebook, look for blog or forum posts and pick up a new thing or two every now and then.

It is easy to take what you as an affiliate learn and develop it into 1000 ideas at ones, but to avoid this I recommend to dedicate a notebook or use Evernote to keep a list of all your ideas, and new things you want to try out.

Don’t implement everything you as an affiliate learn at ones, but keep your list handy as a tool when you have time for something new.

Do something about your future as an affiliate marketer today, and go learn a lot from Michael Jones’ The Affiliate Code.

Remember, continous new knowledge is the key!
