Ultimate Blog Marketing

Why some of the biggest names in affiliate marketing use articles as a core part of their promotional strategy? This is because article marketing is a proven method that can generate free life time traffic to your website. Articles are truly viral and they don’t cost you anything other than your own sweat equity.

Why articles are so powerful? How it works? Firstly, you should write an informative, useful article which relates to the product that you are promoting. In this case, you should write a review of the product which educates your readers about the features and benefits of the product to them.

The key to article marketing is doing article submission. In this case, you submit the article to article directories. A well-written and informative article will lead the readers to visit your website and find out more information about the product. This can be done by clicking the anchor text link either in your article or in the resource box.

Article directories are basically “free content” services. This means that your submitted article can be reprinted by webmasters and ezine owners in their websites and newsletters, if they pick up your article from the article directories. This is a win-win situation as the webmasters and ezine owners can find the content they need and you will get free promotion for your product. Just imagine if your article is reprinted dozens or even hundred of times, how many potential customers you can lead to visit your website. You can find a list of article directories here when you scroll down to the end of the page.

On the other hand, you may think that “I cannot write in good English, can I use article marketing to promote my product?” The answer is “Yes”. How? It can be done by outsourcing. This means that you hire somebody to write an article for you. In this case, I will recommend you to use the service of Rent A Coder. You can post a bid request at Rent A Coder and invite the “coders” to bid on your project. The “coder” is the person who will write the article for you.

Let me explain how to use the service of Rent A Coder.

1. Firstly, register an account.
2. Then, post your bid request. You should clearly specify your requirements in this section such as the article topic, words in length, deadline to complete the project as well as the maximum bid price.
3. Then, you wait for the “coders” to bid on your project. Meanwhile, you should read the work history and resume online of the “coders”, and find out how they have been rated based on their previous projects.
4. Finally, select the “coder” who you think can complete your project based on his/her work history, rating and bid price.

The advantages of using Rent A Coder :

• There is no service charges from Rent A Coder. You only pay for the bid price requested by the “coder”.
• Rent A Coder provides “Escrow” service. This service will protect you when there is a dispute between you and the “coder”, arbitration will step in and decide either the “coder” continue to complete your project as agreed or you will get refund.

Additionally, you can outsource the article submission to a “coder” if you find that it is a tedious job.

In conclusion, article marketing is a strategy that you cannot miss to use in promoting your product. Bear in mind that content is “King”, and thus a well-written and informative article definitely is an asset for your online business.

This morning, Jonathan Leger had sent an email to notify me about his latest blog post – “The Advantages of Internet Marketing In A bad Economy”. Who is Jonathan Leger? He is one of the most respected Internet Marketing Gurus in the world who has created a lot of great internet marketing products such as Instant Article Wizard Pro, $7 Dollar Offers and Write That Report.

Jonathan has given his opinion that internet marketer like us would have more opportunities to make more money online despite economic downturn. Do you think he is kidding? Let’s find out why he said like that.

1. Due to tight budget during this hard time, more and more advertisers will place an ad online instead of TV and radio. In this case, the advertisers can save their cost and get more targeted customers.

   On the other hand, we as a web publisher can earn more money online through Google Adsense and other advertising programs. This is because more and more money will be invested by the advertisers and the chance for us to earn more money from Google Adsense and other advertising programs is much higher.

2. A lot of people will lose their jobs during this hard time. They may turn to the internet to try and earn a living. On top of that, some people will try to make extra money online and become a part time internet marketer.

   These people are the newbies in internet marketing. We can offer to sell them internet marketing products such as ebooks and software in order to help them succeed in their online business.

3. Everyone try to save money in a bad economy. Therefore, people will increasingly be shopping online to get better deals and to cut down the costs of driving. They will search the product they need online and may find your website if you are promoting the product. Again, you can earn more money online.

In conclusion, please be patient and putting more efforts in your online business. I believe your patience and efforts will be rewarded one day.

What is ezine? I did not know what is ezine before joining Ewen Chia’s Secret Affiliate Weapon membershipsite. Ezine is short for electronic magazine and is normally an electronic copy of a printed magazine. It is normally delivered via a website or an email newsletter. Once you have subscribed to an ezine, you will receive either promotional or informational email newsletter from the ezine owner.

Ewen has suggested ezine is the best place for you as a newbie to promote your affiliate product. This works very well if you are promoting internet marketing product. This is because newbies who are looking online business opportunity like to get information from ezines.

The advantages of ezine advertising are as below. These include :

• It is cost effective. You can find deals out there as low as $10.
• It is highly targeted. You just need to find the ezine publishers who offer advertising opportunities and cover topics relevant to your niche.
• It will allow you to test your ad cheaply and make some initial profits that you can leverage into grabbing more advertising and affiliate tools.
• Ezine subscribers usually trust their ezine owner and, hence, tend to trust the advertisements that appear in the ezine.

Ewen has outlined the above advantages of using ezine advertising in his ebook called Ultimate Affiliate Marketing. It is a master training blueprint for a newbie who wants to succeed in affiliate marketing.

On the other hand, there are different types of advertising you can buy in ezines such as :

• Solo Ad
• Top sponsor ad (appears at top of email)
• Middle sponsor ad
• Bottom sponsor ad

In this case, solo ad is the most effective way to reach subscribers as you can send a full promotional email to them. Solo ad is usually more expensive due to its effectiveness of promoting affiliate product.

How to become an affiliate? You probably will say it is very simple, just select an affiliate program from the web and sign as the affiliate of this program. Next, you will select a product which will pay you high commission. Finally, you will put the affiliate link of this product in your blog and wait for someone to click the link!

I used to do like that. I thought I could make some easy money with this way. I did not realize what I thought about affiliate marketing was totally wrong. One day, I had found out the real definition of affiliate marketing after reading an affiliate marketing ebook by Ewen Chia. His definition about affiliate marketing is :

Affiliate Marketing Is The Promotion And Advertisement of Products By A Third-Party (The Affiliate), In Exchange For Commission Compensation.

Ewen Chia has really opened my eyes what is affiliate marketing. Who is Ewen Chia? He is one of the most respected affiliate marketers in the world who has helped a lot of newbies to succeed in their affiliate marketing business. As you can read from the definition of affiliate marketing, the key to success in this business is promotion (or marketing) and advertisement.

In other words, the affiliates like us need to promote the products in whatever means in order to generate the sales. This includes the advertising of the product for maximum exposure. I dare to say a lot of affiliates failed to make money online because they could not find the effective way to promote the products.

Ewen has outlined some of the effective ways to promote a product as below. These include :

• Ezine Advertising.
• Article Submission.
• Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Traffic.
• Viral Reports.
• Joint Ventures.
• Back End Offers.
