Builderall Review From A Frequent User

Imagine if you could build your perfect website, launch an amazing Ecommerce store, start on online course, design a digital magazine, and send emails to subscribers all in the same place! What if I told you that you could. Let me explain how I’m this Builderall review. So here’s the catch, all those tools will only cost $300/month! Not too shabby. How about if I told you that you can get everything plus more for only $69.90/month with Builderall!

What is Builderall?

Builderall is an all in 1 platform that includes everything you need for your business to grow it properly. The company was started by Erick Salgado in 2011 in Brazil. It entered the US market In 2017 with their headquarters in Orlando, FL. I’ve been a member of Builderall since late 2017. Honestly I’m not sure why I didn’t cancel then. The Builderall 1.0 platform had so many glitches and bugs at the time. It was almost impossible to use many of the features. I stuck it out however and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my business and online career in general. Since 2017 there have been 2 major overhauls with the system, Builderall 2.0 and Builderall 3.0. Each making it better for the user. That is one of the best things about Builderall. They listen to their customers concerns and are committed to developing the best platform on the planet.

Builderall Tools

For the last 3 years Builderall’s flagship website builder was the pixel perfect builder. It was not very beginner friendly and worst of all was outdated technology. Builderall heard its users and built an innovative replacement- The Cheetah Builder. Cheetah Builder

As of 2019 they moved on to the Cheetah Responsive builder. This builder boasts a score of 97 performance grade and 93 speed grade for mobile when tested at pingdom.com. A common knock on Builderall at one point was they are a jack of all trades and master of none. I guess you can say they just mastered their website/funnel builder. Email Automation - Mailingboss

Mailingboss is Builderall’s email automation software. It has had its rough patches in the past but in true Builderall fashion they identified their downfall and made it better. In the early days because of the affordable price, Mailingboss was abused by spammers. This downgraded the softwares reputation. Now Builderall is mandatory double opt-ins for subscribers. This feature will ensure you are getting engaged subscribers and help your domain score overall, ultimately getting more emails to the inbox and reducing spamming. WordPress plug-in

If you are a die hard WordPress user, no worries, you don’t have to give it up. You can simply launch a WordPress blog right inside Builderall and easily integrate it with Mailingboss. Opt in pages and funnels can be made with the Cheetah Builder and then linked to your WordPress site. If WordPress is a little too complicated for you to figure out, Builderall is working on their own blogging feature right inside of the platform. Builderall’s Ecommerce Platform - Magento

Builderall uses an open source platform called Magento for their Ecommerce. Magento is a well respected Ecommerce giant with top brands such as Ford, Landrover, Olympus, Jaguar And Vizio all using their services. Magento has a bit of a learning curve so expect to take some time to learn how everything works. Magazine Builder

The magazine builder is one of my favorite tools of late. With Builderall you can make as many magazines as you want. Some companies put a limit on how many you can create and even include their company branding. With Builderall you don’t have to worry about that. I put out a monthly digital entrepreneur magazine showcasing blog articles and a featured entrepreneur who is running a successful online business. With me featuring another well respected entrepreneur, they are likely to share the magazine with their following. This ultimately brings me new leads that click on my ads within the magazine. More people visit my blog now than before because they click my links in this magazine. Check it out here - https://www.livinglife.digital/ eLearning App

Builderall just overhauled their eLearning app so you can host your own digital course. No more paying 3rd party fees or earning a fraction of your asking price because said platform decided to have a flash sale. You are in control of the pricing structure and you keep 100% of the sales. Furthermore, Builderall let’s you set up a super checkout which allows you to have a way to pay affiliates for selling your course.

How to Make Money With Builderall

The possibilities are endless to make money with Builderall. You can literally start a social media marketing agency with all the tools you have access to. Me personally, I design websites for clients using Builderall. Not only do I charge a one time design fee but I also charge a monthly hosting and maintenance fee. The 2nd way I earn money with Builderall is with their affiliate program. If someone joins Builderall using my affiliate link I will earn 100% commission from that sale for the 1st month. Then I will earn an additional 30% every month the user stays active. On top of that the affiliate program has a 2 tier structure, meaning I’ll earn another 30% from my downline starting the 2nd month.

How Many Affiliate Links Are Too Many?

Placing the right number of links in the right place is necessary for seamless user interaction. But there is a question most bloggers are bound to ask, ‘how many affiliate links are too many?’ While the answer is not in black and white, many say less is better. Some people have gone to the extremes of placing over 20 links within a 2000-word article and still managed to rank first for their intended keyword. On the contrary, some have also obtained abysmal results with such numbers. The more the backlinks on a page, the higher the dilution of its overall link value. As a precaution against the downside of several links on one page, most marketers use no-follow affiliate links. Trying to figure out how many affiliate links to put into your content can be a rather tricky problem. In this article, I’m going to be discussing my personal experience in adding affiliate links to my content. Hopefully reading this blog post will help you decide how many affiliate links are appropriate to add to different types of content. I’ll be talking about blog posts, YouTube video descriptions, website pages, and other places you can add affiliate links.

Affiliate Link Discloser and Placement

Before I dive into the topic of how many affiliate links you should add to your content I want to direct you to two of my older posts. These will help you gain a better understanding of the rules around disclosing affiliate links as well as different ways to add affiliate links to your content. These posts are linked below. I do not suggest skipping this part of learning about affiliate marketing. Understanding how to disclose your affiliate links if very important if you want to say out of trouble. These posts are short so go ahead and open them in another window and read them real quick. https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/best-practices-affiliate-links-placement-and-disclosure/ https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/3-ways-to-add-affiliate-links/

How Many Affiliate Links Is Too Many?

The first thing I want to point out is that this is not a one size fits all problem. Different types of content or platforms have more flexibility with the number of affiliate links you should add. So I’m going to go through a couple of different types of content and talk about what has worked for me in the past as well as what hasn’t worked. Do Not Spam Affiliate Links The first rule of thumb here is don’t spam affiliate links. Adding tons of affiliate links to your content has many negative effects. If you’re targeting is right and you’ve got the correct reader on your content there is no reason to beat them over the head with the same affiliate link over and over and over again. If they want the information you’re sharing and the affiliate link is helpful just make sure you sell the one affiliate link you had the best you can. I really think adding more and more affiliate links to content takes away the power of each individual affiliate link. Nobody likes content cram-packed with affiliate links. Platforms don’t like it, blog readers don’t like it, and search engines don’t like it. So really when you go overboard adding affiliate links you’re doing nothing but hurting your content. You’re hurting its readability, you’re hurting its chance to rank and you’re hurting the trust between you and your audience. You don’t want it to seem like the only thing you care about is getting money from your readers.

Comparing Affiliate Link Numbers To Ice Cream

Let’s take a second to compare your content to an ice cream shop. Let’s say you walk into an ice cream shop and they only have one type of ice cream. This ice cream shop really trying to sell this one type of ice cream giving you a bunch of helpful information about it. Some examples of this type of information could be - how the ice cream was made, recipes were their ice cream is an ingredient, the name of the employee who made the ice cream, etc. Now, basically, you have two choices either you buy the ice cream or you leave the shop and this makes your decision as a customer much easier. Now let’s say they had two flavors. This where it becomes much more tricky. The ice cream store must now split its promoting power between the two flavors. Now you have three choices you can either pick ice cream number one, ice cream number two, or you can pick no ice cream at all. This is about as far as I suggest you go as far as adding affiliate links to your content, 1-2 links. The more links you add the less power each link has. This effect is multiplied every time you add another affiliate link. Not only does this affect the actions of your audience, but it also affects how platforms and search engines view your content. The more links you add the more your content looks like spam. A lot of new content creators trying to be Baskin-Robbins. They try and include as many affiliate links as they can thinking the more affiliate links they add will increase the chances that someone will actually click on them and make a purchase. In my experience, it’s much easier to do a hard sell and call to action on a single affiliate link. Trying to get somebody to randomly click on 30 affiliate links in a single piece of content that really has no single direction is not a winning strategy. Like, for example, if you walked into an ice cream store and they had five hundred different flavors of ice cream and they give you very little information about each flavor. They just kind of leave you in the wind to make a decision or get out. The number of options makes it difficult for you to make a decision. You won’t feel appreciated as a customer because you’re not getting any helpful information. Chances are you’ll probably just go somewhere where it’s easy to make a simple decision. People can become almost petrified when you give them too many choices.

Types of Content to Add Affiliate Links to

Now let’s talk about a few different types of content. Depending upon the type of content you are creating, you will encounter a differing level of acceptable number of affiliate links. How Many Affiliate Links Should You add in Review Posts The first one I want to talk about is a review post. If you’re making a video or writing a blog post to create any type of content that’s a review of a particular product or service I would say one or two affiliate links in the content is acceptable anything more than that is really just distracting and starts to look like spam. How Many Affiliate Links Should You add in Comparison Posts The next type of content I want to talk about is a comparison post. This is the type of post where you put two products or services up against each other to see which one you think is better. Blank verses blank, that kind of thing. For this kind of post, I think the most reasonable answer is two affiliate links at the end of the post, one for each type of product or service that you are talking about. People aren’t stupid. If they read a post that they are interested in either product or service they will go to the bottom of the page and click on your affiliate link. Like, it’s just that simple. But if you’re adding tons of affiliate links throughout the entire post you’re just going to turn your audience off. It’s going to come through that you are obviously more interested in making a sale than providing helpful information to your audience. How Many Affiliate Links Should You add in YouTube Descriptions The next location you can add affiliate Links I want to talk about is YouTube descriptions. The rule with your YouTube descriptions is a little different than other types of content. A lot of YouTubers add affiliate links for equipment that is used to create their YouTube videos in their video descriptions. You may use a lot of different pieces of equipment to create your videos. This is one of the few spaces I think it’s OK to include several affiliate links without looking too spammy.

Creating Content Without Affiliate Links

I would like to make a suggestion because not every piece of content you create needs to include affiliate links. My suggestion is that you actually create some content that includes no affiliate links at all. You can still drive people to other pieces of content that you already created which have affiliate links in them in this type of content. Now I know this may sound a little confusing so I’m gonna try and clarify the little bit. Basically what you’ll do is you’ll write a blog post with the intention of having no affiliate links. In that blog post, you will link to other related blog posts that do.

Calls to Action

Now that you have a better understanding of why fewer affiliate links are actually more powerful I want to talk about calls to action. I think it’s much more important to focus on your calls to action than on the number of affiliate links you include in your contacts. Even if you go the most minimal possible and only include one affiliate link in each piece of your content you should have a convincing call to action before that affiliate link. What is a call to action? In the simplest terms, you were giving your audience a reason to click on that affiliate link. Examples of calls to action are "check it out", "check the current price of this product", "learn more about this product or service", "sign up now", "order now", "buy through the link below", and many more. If you don’t give your readers or audience a good reason to click through your affiliate link chances are they probably won’t do it. This is why I think it’s much more important to focus on your call to action than on the actual number of affiliate links you include in your content.

Adding Affiliate Links to Website Pages

We have talked about adding affiliate links to different types of content so far. Now lets talk about adding affiliate links to a few different types of website pages. Adding Affiliate Links to a Resource Page First, I would like to talk about a specific type of website page that you can create to be kind of like a home for all your affiliate links. This page is called a resource page. On this page, you should include all the basic information and call to action for each affiliate offer that you promote. Creating a page like this allows you to link directly to it instead of linking to multiple affiliate offers within your content. A resource page is a good alternative to linking to existing content. Adding Affiliate Links to a Landing Page Another type of page you can create on your website is called a landing page. This type of page is very similar to a resource page but instead of linking to every affiliate offer that you promote it specifically focuses on a single product or service. Your landing page should include a lot of valuable information about the product or service as well as a strong call to action and an affiliate link for that product or service. Do not forget to always disclose your affiliate links. Once you’ve created a landing page you can link to it in your content and technically it doesn’t count as an affiliate link. Having pages like landing pages and resource pages gives you a little more flexibility in what you’re able to link out to in your content. It’s much less Spammy to link to a page on your own website then it is to link to a bunch of different affiliate offers directly. Creating and linking to resource and landing pages will also increase the time visitors spend on your website as well as the number of pages they view. This is great for your website's analytics and rankings.

A Deeper Dive into Affiliate Links in Content

The increasingly popular opportunity affiliate marketing offers bloggers and content creators is huge! Having another avenue of turning their content profitable assets. With premium-quality content and strategically placed links, there is no limit to what an affiliate marketer can earn. The affiliate products you promote should be consistent with your content. Not only will it help in maintaining or expanding your audience base, but it will also increase your chances of making money as your audience will be more predisposed to buying. Generally, affiliate marketing needs you to strike a balance between the content authenticity and the number of links on the page. Google, for example, may down-rank your page if you link tons of affiliate offers as the site will appear as spam. Some users make their success by starting with one to two links per page then slightly increase the number as the page begins to rank higher if needed.

What Should You Consider When Placing Affiliate Links in Content?

For any content, the number of inbound and external links should be balanced, both for the sake of ranking and the user experience. Remember, you are a content creator first and an affiliate marketer second. Your readers' satisfaction must be your primary focus and, therefore, do not set up too many links that will annoy the users, making them abandon the page. Moreover, tons of outbound links on a single page may be interpreted as thin content by the visitors. On the other hand, when the links are too few relative to the article size, users may be frustrated scrolling the page for the gateway to the referral site. For longer posts adding your affiliate link at the beginning and end of your post so it is easy to find. Regarding the appropriate number of referral links, let's look at these scenarios. A 1200-word article on the "Top 5 Best Guitar Capos" will require you to include a link for each product that will be a total of five per page. Relative to the word count, the links form a perfect match and are great resources for the readers. However, placing five affiliate links within a 1200-word article on a single product may appear redundant. I think it is better if you can do an individual review of each of these capos for example, then link to those reviews in the top five post. This way the post will not be weighed down with affiliate links but instead will have even more helpful information for your audience. This will also help guide your audience to making the best decision for them. The individual reviews should contain 1 or 2 links for that specific capo. You should also take into account your links’ landing page produced by the product or service. First, the links should be specific. For example, if you are reviewing guitars on Amazon, each link should lead to the exact product location and not the Amazon homepage as it will force the users to begin searching all over again. You should also let your audience know where the link will take them. If you are linking to a product on Amazon, say so and disclose that is is an affiliate link. Secondly, minimize the number of links if they all lead to the same page. It would be inapt to include 10 links with the same landing page in a 1000-word article on a single subject. The bottom line is enhancing the user experience as much as possible. Good user interaction is vital in boosting your page ranking.

Creating Authentic, Helpful and Valuable Content

When you add value to your followers, it is a guarantee that your reader base will expand. And this will positively impact your bottom line, which is making some money online. Your content should be more educational or informative than promotional. When you sacrifice the quality of content you offer in a bid to include more affiliate links; you will be slowly shrinking the number of your followers. But what is the benefit of hundreds of links with zero click-through rate? As mentioned earlier, the products you promote should be relevant to your content.

Include a Clear Disclosure Statement

Your goal may be making money, but informing your audience that you will be benefitting from the affiliate links is essential. Besides being a legal requirement for promoting fairness in trade and protecting the consumer, it helps gain trust with your followers. In any dealing, transparency is a crucial factor in the success equation, and affiliate marketing is no exception. However, you need to be aware of the possible reactions, such as few users who may feel manipulated refusing to use your links even if they had the intention of buying. When coining your disclosure statement, make it brief and precise to save readers' time. You can place it on pages with the affiliate links in a section where it is visible. I like to also include an affiliate disclosure statement above any affiliate link I add. I want my audience to know what I am linking to and why.

Set Up a Method of Managing Your Affiliate Links

Since affiliate marketing is dynamic, sooner than you think, your site will be full of affiliate links. It is, therefore, smart if you put in place a system that will help you manage and track the performance of links from the start. Some networks provide tools that affiliates can use in link management and tracking. But in case your program lacks them, consider using a plugin or spreadsheet.

Conclusion

How many affiliate links are too many? There is no precise figure for the number of links one can include on a web page. However, you must abide by the rules of the game to obtain excellent results. The focus of your blog should not be on making money from affiliate programs but delivering valuable content to your readers. Adding affiliate links should, therefore, be as natural as possible for the best user experience and higher PR. As a general SEO practice, the links in a single page should not exceed a hundred, whether external or internal. LOL! 100 links! JK! Really 1 to 2 affiliate links per 500 words is the rule I go by. Remember less is more. Add only the links that are needed, adding "extra" affiliate links is a practice that you should avoid. Keep your focus on your audience's overall experience while consuming your content.

Things to Remember When Adding Affiliate Links To Content

Disclose every affiliate link you add.Tell your audience what you you are linking to.Tell your audience why you are linking to it.Tell your audience where the link will take them.Include a well thought out call to action.Place your affiliate links where your audience can easily find them.Focus on creating valuable content instead of affiliate promotions. I hope this article was helpful! Have a great day and consider following my blog.

My Call To Action

I was not always such a clever affiliate marketer. I will be the first to admit when I started out I spammed links all over the internet. And what did I gain from all this effort? Not a dime! It took me years to get over myself and the idea that I can figure this affiliate marketing thing out on my own. 8 months ago as of writing this post I took a huge leap. I signed up for an online course that cost me hundreds of dollars. I spent 2 weeks debating with myself about this purchase. Looking back I wish I had not wasted those 2 weeks and just went for it. So why did I wait? It was not because I did not think the course was worth the money. I had been following a YouTube channel put out by the creators of this course and the information shared there was the most valuable I have found to this date. I knew if these two guys, who went from average Joes to millionaires, are sharing the tips, tricks, and truth others were not talking about that their course was worthwhile. What I think really stopped me during those two weeks was self-doubt. Could I really invest hundreds of dollars to learn real working strategies to make a living for MYSELF online? I knew if I signed up for the course they would teach me everything I need to know to create a successful online income, step by step. Deep inside my brain I knew if I signed up for this course if I was not successful the only reason would be because I did not follow through. I could no longer use the excuse that I did not know what I was doing or what I need to do. I took me two weeks to own up to this. Now I say to you if you need help, if you want to know the right way to create on online income, if you are tired of trying to figure it out on your own, take a look at Project 24. Project 24 now had 60 step guides for both blogging websites and YouTube channels. I think almost anyone could take this course then take action to create an income online. They tell you what to do, step by step, in an easy to understand way. It really comes down to doing the work. Below I will link to my Project 24 affiliate link as well as posts I have written about Project 24. Sign up if you are fired up, read more if you are curious. The link below is my affiliate link for Project 24. This link will take you to Project 24's homepage where you can learn more about Project 24 and sign up if you like. I can earn commissions from this affiliate link if purchases are made using it. https://incomeschool.com/project24/?ref=136 My Project 24 Affiliate Link https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/income-schools-project24-day-1/ https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/project-24-what-you-should-know-before-you-sign-up/ https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/what-the-heck-is-project-24-the-best-make-money-online-course-ive-ever-found/ https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/is-income-schools-project-24-worth-it/ Read the full article

How to Make Money with Amazon Affiliate Marketing Without a Website

Many of the people have the mindset that they need a website for affiliate marketing with Amazon Associates. But let me tell you guys, that is simply not true! While having a website does make affiliate marketing much easier having one is not required. There are various strategies that can be used to do affiliate marketing without a website. There are so many benefits to using free content publishing platforms like YouTube. Many of those benefits include internal traffic and high domain and page authority with Google, which helps you to achieve S.E.O., search engine optimation, rankings.

Promotion Mediums Approved By The Amazon Affiliate Program

Amazon Associates, Amazon's affiliate program, states the approved places you can share your affiliate links. Everything that is not on this list is thereby not approved. One work around for this is to create content on the approved platforms, add affiliate links to your content and then share that content on other platforms. The approved places you can share Amazon affiliate links are listed below. WebsitesBlogsOpen Facebook GroupsVerified Twitter AccountsYouTube Channels Websites Since you are trying to do affiliate marketing without a website the first option is off the table for you right now. I do think having a website is very useful as an affiliate marketer but if you are not ready yet some of these other options may work better for you. Blogs When most people think of a blog they think they need their own website. These days there are platforms that allow you to create a blog without having your own website. Medium is a great example. Creating content on this platform then adding affiliate links to that content is a good way to do affiliate marketing. Open Facebook Groups Sharing links in these groups in not as easy as it sounds. You need to read and understand the groups rules before added links. Creating your own group is a good work around for that. Make sure there is a helpful reason for what you are sharing and that it is not spam. Verified Twitter Accounts Most of use do not have verified twitter accounts, but if you are lucky enough to have one you can share you affiliate links on it. YouTube Channel Placing affiliate links in your YouTube description is a very popular way to promote Amazon affiliate links. Many people add affiliate links for equipment they use to make their YouTube videos. You could do this as well. Keep reading for step by step guide on how to make money with Amazon Affiliate Marketing Without a Website: 1) Choose Your Niche: You can target many niches according to your needs. Picking a niche that suits you is important for various reasons: - Much depends on what kind of niche you choose. If you choose a low competitive niche then it is easy to become an authority in Google's eyes and your visitors. Niches with higher competition will be more difficult to grow authority in. - It is important to understand the subject of the matter for the niche you choose. Once you understand the subject then it will be easy for you to write that specific topic. 2) Keyword Search: Once you choose your niche, the second step is to find keywords which will help to rank for that niche. It is important to use buyer intent keywords in your article. It is believed that about 80% of your articles should target buyer intent keywords. Keyword phrases are a great thing to look into when doing keyword research. You should also try and focus on what the main common questions and problems people run into in this niche. This will help you come up with content to create. Also, check for keyword competition. We will recommend you to go for long-tail keywords. These keywords will have less traffic and also less competition For example, with this article, choosing to target: “How to Make Money with Amazon Affiliate Without a Website” instead of a simple “How to Make Money with Amazon Affiliate” makes it much easier to rank. 3) Make Use Of Free Content Publishing Platforms: We know that there are many benefits using a personal website but there are many more options where you can publish your content for free. These free publishing websites have their own benefits such as: - Search Engine shows high trust and authority. - You will get rank on these platforms as well as in search engine results - Link building is the process which is considered as a safer to do to get your page on SERPs. You can perform classified ads submission, bookmarking submissions, promotions and more. Part of that being relatively high percentages of keyword related anchor text. 4) Write Content and Perform SEO: Write content. It is important, for both rankings and conversion rates, that you have high-quality content. When visitors read your article, Google will use user engagement as a major ranking factor. That is the main reason why you want to make your content engaging and attractive and also provide answers to the users for what they are searching for. In general, the more keyword targeted and high-quality articles you write, the higher your chances of getting more rankings, traffic, and commissions. SEO: Performing SEO will help you to get good rankings on SERPs. You can use many tools for your SEO. There are varieties of tools available on the internet. 5) Use Social Media Platforms: You can use social media platforms to promote your content. As we know that social media is very powerful in today's world. The referral traffic to your article will definitely help you to rank faster and higher on Search Engine. If you actively post updates on social media then you can easily get enough traffic. 6) Have Patience: There are many platforms which take a lot of time to settle on Google. So don't panic and have patience and allow them to sit. If you have done your content's SEO very well like keyword search, content writing, promotions then you have your ranking already. but if not then it is a link building which will take time. 7) Perform Link Building: One of the great things of publishing content on high authority free publishing sites is that they allow you to link buildings at very low risk. Here are some suggestions to be considered: - Main Links: These are the links that include the link like profile creation link and citations. It will help you to boost your Search Engine results. But their main purpose is to provide a link and anchor text foundation so that you can build a strong link. - Guest Posts Based on your quality of content and website that you use for guest posting the effectiveness of a guest posting will vary greatly. You can go for self written content for the guest posting and confirm the website you are posting on has real search rankings by plugging it into various tools you can get on the internet. You can use this service to get the guest post for you. 8) Email Marketing: There is nothing wrong in performing more for our website to get higher on the Search Engine. It is possible that you can have ranking without performing this step but remarketing and email marketing will allow you to expand your revenue. Note a point that it is always a good option to link people directly to the landing page. Emailing people Amazon affiliate links is against their policy can could get you banned as an affiliate. There are various ways that you can use your email list. You can easily inform people when you are publishing new articles. By bringing traffic and engagement to these articles they can improve the rankings and possibly get you some conversions. This works in a similar way to social media promotion. And that is all! Just repeat these steps and soon you will be getting traffic and rankings and as long as you get rankings, you should start to see conversions. Read the full article

It is completely natural for you to get the temptation to proceed with sharing the Amazon affiliate links with friends and family members using WhatsApp. That’s because you know that they will support you by purchasing what you offer. Stop and think for a moment before moving forward with such an action. Is getting a sale from a friend worth losing your ability to be an affiliate for Amazon? I strongly suggest that it is not worth it. When you sign up as an Amazon affiliate, you will need to make some sales before you complete the 90-day period. Due to the same reason, some people may try to go ahead with this method and get the support of people they know. However, you shouldn’t be going forward with it. When you generate sales by sharing the Amazon affiliate link through WhatsApp, you will not be able to get any money credited to the account. If you continue to do this, you will get banned. That’s why you should not even think about it. Amazon affiliate program is intelligent enough to figure out how you are sharing affiliate links. Hence, you need to make sure that you don’t share Amazon affiliate links on WhatsApp. Apart from WhatsApp, you should not be using any other IM platform to promote Amazon affiliate links. Sending out the Amazon affiliate links via emails is not recommended as well.

How Benefit from WhatsApp for Affiliate Marketing?

Even though Amazon affiliate program doesn’t allow you to share the affiliate links directly on WhatsApp, you have many other options available to receive the benefits and move forward with affiliate marketing efforts. Here are some of the best methods available to consider. - Share Links To Your Blog with Your Contacts via WhatsApp As an affiliate marketer, you should have a blog or a website, where you share the Amazon affiliate links. By doing this you will be sharing your Amazon affiliate links in the legitimate way by directing people blogs and websites. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about it getting you banned from the Amazon affiliate program. If you want to get your friends, family members, and colleagues to purchase through your Amazon affiliate links and benefit you, you can think about sharing these blogs with you via WhatsApp. Instead of just sending them a link, I encouraged you to include a short personalized message as well. If you are sharing your website or blog link with a non-technical person, it is better if you can focus more on sharing some additional information with that person as well. Then you can increase the overall chances that you have to get that person to visit your website links and purchase from your links. Amazon will not look at this as an illegitimate practice. Hence, you don’t need to risk your account from getting banned. By moving forward with this small change in your affiliate marketing strategy will help protect you from losing access to the Amazon affiliate program. - Share Links to Your Blog with WhatsApp Groups Another great method to help you get more sales through Amazon affiliate links is to share your blog or website links on WhatsApp groups. WhatsApp groups have created vibrant communities. You have two different options available to consider. Either you can create your own group and invite people to join it. Or else, you can locate a group where people show an interest in your niche, products, or services. If you are going to create your own WhatsApp group, you shouldn’t use it to share direct Amazon affiliate links as I have stated before. Instead, you must think about sharing valuable and related content with the people who have joined the group. Then you can grow their interest in your group. This can deliver amazing benefits for your affiliate marketing efforts in the long run. By creating powerful content that people interested in your niche would like and including Amazon affiliate links within your content that link to relevant products you will be on the right track. People who are looking forward to sharing links to their website or blog that have Amazon affiliate links on a WhatsApp group managed by someone else should be extra careful. For example, you should go through the group rules and regulations before you post your links. Some of the groups don’t allow the members to spam the community with links. You should not publish your website or blog URL on such WhatsApp groups. It is better if you can double-check that this kind of link posting follows the rules of the WhatsApp group and proceed with joining it. Then you can receive maximum benefits out of posting links in a WhatsApp group. Do not waste your time trying to post in groups that have nothing to do with your links. Targeting is very important. If some good groups that allow you to post your links and also match up with your niche you are on the right track. - Create a Business WhatsApp Account and Send Messages to Prospects You can think about creating a business WhatsApp account as well. Then you can start promoting with the help of WhatsApp. In other words, you can get a number list of prospects. Then you can share your blog or website URL with them. It is important to keep in mind that you should only be sharing your website or blog links. You should never be sharing the Amazon affiliate links directly on Whatsapp. You can share blog post links that contain Amazon affiliate links. It is better if you can give something to the audience before you tempt them to click on the links that you share. This is a win-win strategy, which can benefit both parties. For example, you can think about sharing a valuable eBook or a trial version of a product. You could also share helpful information with your prospects to grow trust and report. - Share Links to Your YouTube Videos on WhatsApp

If you do not have a website or blog that you can share with people on WhatsApp, using a YouTube channel is a great alternative. If you do not yet have a YouTube channel it is free to create one. Once you have set up your channel you can create videos that relate to what you are trying to promote. In the description of you YouTube videos you can include your Amazon affiliate links. From there you can share the links to these videos using WhatsApp. Not only is this a way to share your affiliate links using WhatsApp but it also opens you up to the traffic available on YouTube. Take a look at these methods and learn how to get the most out of WhatsApp for your Amazon affiliate marketing efforts. Read the full article

3 Ways to Make Money While You are Stuck at Home

2020 has definitely been an interesting year so far. While many people are not able to go to work or even leave their houses I thought I’d would share how I have been able to make money from home. I will lay out the 3 strategies that have worked for me in the past up to today. Two apps and one online course will be discussed. The apps are called Mercari and RageOn! and the online course is called Project 24.

Mercari

First of all I want to say I think Mercari is awesome! I have been using this app since it was in beta. There are many ways to take advantage of the Mercari app to make profit. What is Mercari? Mercari is a free app with a vibrant market place. Users can create listings of almost any physical object on this marketplace to make sales. Users can also purchase listings posted by others. Selling on Mercari We all have things laying about the house that still hold value but we do not really use or need them anymore. Mercari is a great way to find these things a new home while making some cash at the same time. Creating a Listing on Mercari Creating a listing on Mercari is pretty dang easy. All you need to do is take some nice, well lite pictures of what you are trying to sell. Then you just fill in the necessary information, set a price and shipping option and post your listing. Mercari does take 10% of the sale price on your listings so keep that in mind when setting your prices. When you make a sale using the Mercari app they will email you a shipping label to print out. Then all you have to do is package and ship the item you sold. Reselling Items On Mercari After spending some time using the Mercari app I discovered that you can find listings that are highly under priced. Whether the seller just wants to get rid of it or they do not know the value of what they are selling. This type of listing does not stay unsold for long so a good place to find them is in the recently listed search results. Often I will repost things I have bought this way on the Mercari app for a profit. I will usually use my Mercari credit to make this type of purchase. I will talk about how I get this credit in the next section. The Mercari Referral Program I have researched and used many referral programs over the years. I personally think Mercari has one of the best and well balanced referral program out there for an app. When you set up your Mercari app profile a referral link will be generated and given to you. You can share and promote this link all over the place. When someone signs up for Mercari using your link they get a $10 coupon off their first purchase using the app. After they make their first purchase you get a $10 Mercari credit. If you are at all interested in getting the Mercari app you can get it through my referral link below. Signing up through this link will give you a $10 coupon for your first purchase using Mercari. Sign up for Mercari and get $10 off your first purchase. Here's my invitation link : https://merc.li/G6bzJWb At the time I am writing this blog post I have made $266 in Mercari credit using this referral program.

RageOn!

My second recommendation for making money while you’re stuck at home is to take advantage of an app called RageOn. This strategy is well-suited for people who are creative and interested in graphic design or photography. What is RageOn? In a nutshell the rage on app allows you to create products by applying pictures to them. RageOn! prints and ships all their products leaving you to just design. I have a lot of fun using RageOn! So you take a photo or create a graphic design and apply it to the RageOn! products. When you designs sell you get a commission. I really like this app for 2 reasons. The first is it never costs you anything and you can create as many designs as you like. The second is The amount of freedom and creativity you have when creating products using the Rajon app. I’ve made clothing designs I couldn’t have made any other way. Promoting Your RageOn! Designs As a user of Rajon there are only two things you really need to focus on. The first one we’ve already talked about creating product designs. The second thing we need to focus on is promoting those designs once they’re created. RageOn makes this relatively easy with social sharing options. Creating social media account specifically for sharing your product designs is not a bad idea. If you’d like to take your promotion to the next level feel free to do that. The more you promote your products the more likely they are to sell. Well your products can be found on the radio on marketplace after they’ve been created promoting them just gives him that extra push and increases the likelihood that they will sell. The RageOn! Affiliate Program The second way you can make money using the RageOn! app is to take advantage of their affiliate program. When you create an account on RageOn! you will be given an affiliate link extension which you can add on to any RageOn! product URL and promote to earn commission for the sale of that product. I’ve made money on RageOn! promoting my products as well as other peoples products. My RageOn! Results As of the time I am writing this article I have made around $100 in sales and commissions using the RageOn! app. It is pretty cool to design products that people like and buy, at no cost to me! Whenever I have a few free minutes instead of checking social media or playing games on my phone I create product designs using the RageOn app and so far it’s worked out very well for me. If you want to sign up, shop around or just check out my RageOn profile you can do all of these through my affiliate link below. This link pays me commissions on sales made through it at no extra cost to you. https://www.rageon.com/a/users/barelycivilizedgear?aff=HIDs

Project 24

There are hundreds of online courses out there and he promised to teach you how to make money online from home. Project 24 is the most legitimate online course I have ever found. This course literally tells you what to do step-by-step to create a Niche Blog Website that generates income for years to go. This strategy is not for those wanting to make a quick buck. It requires hard work dedication and patience. This may sound daunting but the energy you put into this strategy will pay off if you follow the steps and stay dedicated. What is Project 24? Project 24 is a straight forward online course that teaches you step by step how to create a profitable niche blog website in 24 months. The creators of Project 24 have made tons of money building this type of website. They basically take you by the hand every step of the way. It is amazing! I am a member of Project 24 and I created this website following the courses instructions. I think almost anyone can do this too. 24 months is a long time to wait for a return on your efforts and investments but once a site takes off the income becomes practically passive. I really like creating content I am passionate about that helps others and makes me money. Project 24 taught me how to do just that. The Project 24 Webinar This webinar really helped me make the decision that the Project 24 course was just what I was looking for, so with no further ado here is Project 24’s Creators Jim and Ricky telling you what it is all about. https://youtu.be/9jLo89V_q3g The Project 24 Affiliate Program If you do decide to sign up for the project 24 online course one thing that me and some other students are taking advantage of is the affiliate program. While you’re going through the project 24 course you can keep people up-to-date with your progress and explain how the course is helping you. When you’re making this type of content you can also promote the project 24 course yourself. You can do this by joining the project 24 affiliate program. I do not recommend joining this affiliate program if you’re not planning on signing up for the course itself. I honestly don’t think people should try to sell things that they haven’t used and I can’t personally stand behind. That being said if you do decide to sign up for this course please do so through my affiliate link below. This affiliate link pays me commissions at no extra cost to you. https://incomeschool.com/project24/?ref=136&campaign=yourhelpfulaffiliate My Project 24 Affiliate Link

Conclusion

While we all sit around waiting for things to go back to normal it is good to stay busy. I hope this article was helpful and that you will take action on one or more of these strategies. Have a great day and thanks for reading. Feel free to share this article anywhere you see fit, thanks!

How To Put Affiliate Links in eBooks (and Why it Matters)

Are you currently working as an affiliate marketer? Then you must be looking forward to taking your affiliate marketing efforts to the next level. Why not take a look at the opportunity available to engage with affiliate marketing with the help of eBooks? From this article, you can get a better understanding of how to proceed with affiliate marketing in eBooks and figure out the steps to place the affiliate links within eBooks.

Why Would You Add Affiliate Links in an eBook?

Before we begin, you should take the time to understand the reasons why people place affiliate links in eBooks. Then you will be tempted to go through the next section of the article and understand how to move forward. Here are some of the most prominent reasons people write eBooks to place the affiliate links within them. - It will help you grow your audience As an affiliate marketer, you are trying to broadening your audience as much as possible. This is where eBooks can become very useful. You can now discover affiliate programs in every product category and every market. No matter whether you are trying to break into a specific niche or the mass retail industry, you need to make sure that you get a large targeted audience to see your affiliate links. Then you can increase the total number of views that you are getting for the products that you offer. If you are making plans to reach out to a new audience, you can think about going forward with eBooks as well. They can help you to grow your audience in a convenient manner. - You can boost your reputation Affiliate marketers who use eBooks will be able to grow their reputation for what they write as well as what they promote. Along with that reputation, you can get more people to trust you and purchase what you offer. This is where you can think about getting the maximum advantage out of the reputation your can gain from writing an eBook. You may need to partner up with a reputed author. That will help you to get the reputation for your eBook as well. - It is a cost-effective method to promote your affiliate links If you take a look at the cost that you have to bear in order to promote affiliate links with eBooks compared with the other mainstream marketing methods, you will figure out how cost-effective it is. This is applicable whether you write your own eBook or get your affiliate links published in the eBook published by another person. It is the objective of all the affiliate marketers to reduce their expenses and boost profits as much as possible. eBooks can deliver all the support and assistance needed for it. - You can scale your traffic Promoting affiliate links with eBooks will be a great method available to scale your traffic. However, you should make sure that you are not just using an eBook to promote the affiliate links. eBooks alone cannot deliver any positive results. You need to use them along with the other marketing methods so that you can receive maximum returns. You will appreciate the helping hand that eBooks can provide to you by taking your affiliate marketing campaigns to the next level. The Content of your eBooks should be more than what the reader expected.

Reasons Not to Add Affiliate Links to Your eBook

At this point I think it is a good idea to discuss some of the reasons you might not want to add affiliate links to your Ebook. As platforms and companies grow and change their terms of use often change as well. This can become very had to keep up with if you are dealing with multiple entities. This point brings me to my first reason not to add affiliate links to your eBook. Policy Changes Placing direct links to affiliate offers in your eBook may or may not already be against an existing policy of an affiliate program or an eBooks platform. Trying to find out and stay up to date on this kind of restriction can be difficult and even get you punished. For example, if you publish and eBook on a platform that currently allows you to do so but at a later date they change their policy so that it is no longer allowed your eBook could be removed form the platform. Affiliate Changes If you are able to get away with adding direct affiliate links to your eBooks, which I do not recommend trying, you could run in to some problems. Once problem being if your affiliate link is changed by your affiliate program, the links that are in your eBook will become useless unless edited. There could also be changed in the affiliate program or the product itself that once changed or updated would make what you wrote about them in your eBook no longer accurate. The affiliate program could also just get shut down or closed then your links become basically dead. For these reasons, I suggest not using direct or cloaked affiliate links within eBooks. Instead, you should add and use different kinds of links in your eBooks. I will talk more in-depth about these types of links later in this blog post.

How to place your affiliate links in eBooks?

Now you have a clear understanding of the benefits that you can get by placing affiliate links in eBooks. While keeping this in mind, you should know the steps that are available to proceed and get the job done. When you want to place the affiliate links inside an eBook, you have two different options to consider. Either you can write your own eBook and place the affiliate links, or else, you can place the affiliate links into an eBook written by another person. If you are a person how is good at writing, you can go ahead with the very first option. This step is more recommended for seasoned authors. You are aware of how to compile the eBook, and you just need to place the affiliate links inside them. Hence, you can go ahead and make the decision without keeping any doubts in mind. People who aren’t good at writing eBooks should think about getting the assistance of an author. That’s because you need to make sure that the eBook is well-written and super helpful. Then more people will purchase the eBook and you can get lots of people to see your affiliate links. Moreover, people tend to trust on the affiliate links and click on them, based on the helpfulness of the content and affiliate links. Expert authors know how to make their eBooks helpful. Moreover, they write eBooks in an engaging tone as well. Hence, they go ahead and invite the readers to click on the affiliate links and move forward with them. This can eventually provide you with the chance to boost the total number of affiliate sales that you are generating. You can sign up with an agreement with an author and share a profit from your affiliate campaign or you can give a fixed payment to place your affiliate links. It is entirely up to you and the book author to decide. Another great option available for the people who don’t want to create their own eBooks to consider is getting the assistance of an eBook creation service. You can discover numerous eBook creation services out there. You can simply pick a writing service out of them and create an eBook. Along with the instructions on how to write the eBook, you can also think about providing affiliate links. Make sure that you proofread your eBook before you pay. You must also double-check and ensure that there are no grammar or spelling errors. Then you can get maximum returns from the eBook writing service.

Alternative Strategies to Placing Affiliate Links in eBooks

As I mentioned a few times in this article adding direct affiliate links to your eBook can come with some disadvantages. In this sections of this blog post I will go through seaveral different stategies that affiliate marketers can use to increase their affiliate sales using eBooks. These strategies will be listed in order of most risky to most ideal. Adding Direct Affiliate Links to an eBook This is the most risky option. I do not suggest this for the reasons I talked about earlier in this blog. Adding Cloaked Affiliate Links to an eBook This is also quick risky for many of the same reasons direct linking is. It is also possible that it is against your affiliate programs policy to cloak links, for example Amazon's affiliate program forbids this. Linking to A Landing Page in an eBook A landing page, in the simplest terms, is a single page on a website designed for a single purpose. Affiliate markets use them to prime and guide their audience. Creating a landing page dedicated to helping your readers learn about a specific affiliate offer and then linking to that page in your eBook is a good option. Linking to Your Content in an eBook Adding links to your own blog posts or even YouTube videos is a great option. By picking relevant content to link out to in your eBook your increase the value offered to the reader, increase their understanding of your brand and earn a chance to promote your affiliate offer on your own content where selling is much easier. The type of content you could link could be things like product reviews, as an example. Linking to A Reasource Page This is my favorite option! This strategy combines aspects of some of the others listed above. Much like the landing page, a resource page is a single page on a website. This page, however, is designed to include information and affiliate links for every product or offer you want to talk about in your eBook. If you are only promoting one thing the landing page should work just fine, but if you have more than one I think the resource page is the way to go. This page should be in divided up into sections, one for each product or offer. Each section should include all the information your reader needs to know about this product or offer and why it will help them. Below this information section is where you should place your affiliate link. This strategy is so powerful! If you ever need to change anything about anything you are promoting you have outside control over it. You can change your links, change the info, add new products or offers and remove old ones. It will also direct your eBook readers to your content on other platforms there for growing your audience and traffic.

Other Links to Add to Your eBook

I also want to talk about a few other types of links you should add in your eBook. Adding the following types of links will make you look more professional and also help you grow your audience. Adding an eBook Cover Link Everyone who reads your eBook will at least see the cover. That is why I think it is a great place to add a link to your number one platform. I would link to my blog website, but if you do not have a blog website you could link to something else like a YouTube channel or podcast. I think linking to a branded website is the best option for your eBook cover link. Adding it at the bottom under the title and author section seems to be a good spot of a link like this. Adding Links to Relevant Content in an eBook Linking out to relevant content that you have created in your eBook can add a lot of value to your readers. Blog post, videos, podcasts and PDFs are great options. Make sure what you are linking is content that will help the reader and is targeted to what they need help with. This will grow the number of views your content will get. People are always looking for a way to get traffic and I think this way is pretty smart. Adding Social Media Links in an eBook If you have social media account for your brand including links to them in your eBook is a great idea. This will help people learn more about your brand. It will also help you grow your social media followings.

Free eBook vs Paid eBook

As someone who is looking into affiliate marketing, you may have seen people suggest using a free eBook to grow an email list. I personally have not tried this for the following reason. I think it throws off the targeting. Don't get me wrong, I am sure others have seen success adding emails to their email list by offering people a free eBook. The problem is you want people who are willing to pay for things. You can not earn any affiliate commissions if no one over buying anything, it does not matter how many people link on your affiliate link. It comes down to targeting. If you sell your eBook you know, at least, that the people reading it are willing to spend money. If you give your eBook away you will most likely get more people to read it but your audience will not be as targeted or as willing to spend money. I think even having a very low priced eBook is better in the long run than giving one away. If you still plan on using the free eBook plan to grow your email list I suggest stating clearing on the opt-in page what these people are signing up for. Tell them what kind of emails you will be sending them so they expect it. If people if you their emails to get your free eBook and then you spam their email they will most likely unsubscribe to your email list. However, if you clearly tell them you run a business online and are trying to make money. Also that by signing up for this email list they will be sent emails that include sales pitches, reviews, affiliate offers, ect. Just be honest with them. Including such honest information on your email opt-in page may reduce the number of people that sign up for it, but again, they ones that do are more targeted. These people will be expecting to be sold to, which is what you want.

Conclusion

Well we hit a lot of bases in this blog post. I hope I was able to help you understand the pros and cons of adding affiliate links in eBooks as well as some of the alternatives options. Feel free to share this post with anyone you think it might help. Have a great day! Read the full article

How to Start a Blog on a Budget - SAVE $100’s!

I’ve started several blog websites over the past few years using many of the top website builders. I have found Wordpress to be the best option, but my first try setting up a website with Wordpress was my most expensive. With the tips and tricks I include in this article you can probably avoid my mistakes and save a couple hundred dollars a year on your new blog website. A few of the things I will be discussing are my Wordpress.com mistake, comparing hosting providers, my recommendation for a premium theme that will save you a ton of time getting your website design set up and increase your websites speed. I will tell you where I get my content outsourced from for 1/5 the price of a normal outsourced Blog post content. Now before I get into the nitty-gritty details of setting up your blog website I want to let you know that when I set up my first Wordpress blog website I spent way too much money. That is why I am writing this blog post so that other people do not make the same mistake I did. I hope that by sharing my personal experience and this information with you that you are able to set up your blog website on a budget.

Getting started with Wordpress

First of all I want to make this very clear because it can be kind of confusing. If you want to save money setting up a blog website I recommend staying away from Wordpress.com. You can use the WordPress software for free. Wordpress.com is a separate company that will charge you much more than the average hosting company to host your website. I totally understand the confusion. I made the same mistake myself. I heard people say well if you’re going to start a blog website you better use Wordpress. So what did I do? I went straight to Wordpress.com and started building my website. I am certain I’m not the only one who has fallen into this trap. I will try and clarify throughout this blog post how you can avoid making the same mistake I did. The main idea I want you to walk away with is that Wordpress.com charges much more than the average hosting company. You can easily set up a Wordpress blog website without using Wordpress.com.

What is Wordpress?

If you’re going to start a blog website my number one recommendation to build it on is Wordpress. Wordpress is an open source software that a good majority of blog website to use to help them create more professional and beautiful websites. You should know the difference between the Wordpress software and Wordpress.com. This is where a lot of people get into trouble and I myself got into trouble. The Wordpress software itself is open source. This means anyone can download, alter and use it. What Wordpress.com does is offer hosting and other services that are built onto the Wordpress software. However, Wordpress.com has payment tiers that each offer more options for your website.

Understanding Website Hosting

If you were to get your hosting somewhere else it would be cheaper than Wordpress.com and all the the options, features and plugins that Wordpress.com would charge you for are free to use from the get go. You see, when I started my first Wordpress website I went to Wordpress.com which seems like the thing you should do, it is not. Wordpress.com does have a free plan but the limitations on that plan or so detrimental to your website that it makes you look unprofessional. As this is what I did with my first website I quickly found that the free option just wasn’t going to cut it so I slowly worked my way up to their payment options to the highest. This ended up costing me hundreds of dollars a year. If I had known I could have had so much more freedom creating my website from the start if I had just taken some time to understand website hosting, I would have saved a lot of time and money.

My Recommended Website Host

At this time I think one of the best website hosting providers is SiteGround. I heard about his website host through a forum. I am a huge fan. I tend to use customer support more than the average guy and SiteGround crushes it every time. Often my problems are solved quickly and professional using their chat support. SiteGround also makes it very easy to set up your new Wordpress blog website. You can check out SiteGround through my affiliate link below. This affiliate link does pay me commissions if sales are make through it. https://www.siteground.com/index.htm?afcode=396e6bef564936572a09158dc1fa4373 SiteGround Vs. Wordpress.com (Price Plans) Wordpress.com PlansMonthly CostYearly CostFree$0$0Personal$4$48Premium$8$96Business$25$300eCommerce$45$540 There are a lot of short comings to the free Wordpress.com plan. I will list a few below. You can not have a custom domainYou will have the full date in every URLYou can not contact or use supportYou can not use pluginsYou are limited in theme optionsYou can not connect Google Analytics If you want to use your own domain you have to upgrade to the next plan, The Personal Plan. This plan also gives you access to support but not live support. Below are some short comings of this plan. You can not contact live supportYou can not use pluginsYou are limited in theme optionsYou can not connect Google Analytics If you want to connect Google Analytics to your website you will need to upgrade to the next plan, The Premium plan. This plan also allows you to have access to more design tools and custom CSS. Below are some short comings of this plan. You can not contact live supportYou can not use pluginsYou are limited in theme options If you want to use Wordpress plugins you will need to upgrade to the next plan. This is the plan I ended up on. It is quite a price jump from $8 a month to $25, just so I could use plugins! This plan also gives you access to more themes and live support but at what price!

SiteGround Perks

When I found out that if only I had found my own website hosting provider I would have had none of these limitations. With SiteGround from day one you have the following.

SiteGround PlansStarting Price Per MonthRegular Price Per MonthStartUp$3.95$11.95GrowBig$5.95$19.95GoGeek$11.95$34.95 I recommend two things when picking a SiteGround hosting plan. The first recommendation is if you plan on creating more than one website go with the GrowBig plan. It allows you to create unlimited websites. The second recommendation is pay for as much as you can up front. SiteGround offers a special starting price and lets you pay for 3 different options. These options are 1 year, 2 years or 3 years. If you can, paying for the 3 years at the introductory price would save you quite a bit of money. About $15 a month for 3 years. Thats $540 if my math is right.

24 Affiliate Marketing Tips and Tricks

Affiliate marketing is a good method available for you to earn a decent income. However, not all people end up with positive results when they try affiliate marketing. That’s because they don’t have a clear understanding of how to get started with affiliate marketing and how to receive all the prominent benefits offered by it. In order to help such individuals, we thought of sharing 24 effective affiliate marketing tips and tricks. Whether you are a beginner to affiliate marketing or a seasoned affiliate marketer, you can think about following these tips. Then you will be able to ensure your success as an affiliate marketer and get the best results from the time that you spend on it.

Understand What You Are Getting Into

The concept of affiliate marketing can be very exciting when you first start out. It is good to be excited about trying new things but, you should also limit your expectations. While the possibilities of making money on the internet are pretty awesome, many have failed, given up or spent years trying to figure it out. There is loads of free information about how to do affiliate marketing right, heck that is what this website is all about. I want to take a moment to point out that if you have any questions associated with affiliate marketing I am very open to answering them on this blog. You can ask me anything through my contact me page. Your question might just become a blog post to help others wondering the same thing. Most people get into affiliate marking thinking the can make a ton of money super fast. This is not the case. While you can certainly earn a lot of money from affiliate marketing, most people fail, give up or spend years trying. I want you to know ahead of time that affiliate does not work for everyone.

Have A Game Plan

There are many ways to take advantage of affiliate marketing. This often leads people to try too many thinks at once. I have found that if you focus all of that energy in to a single focus it works out much better for me. When I started trying affiliate marketing I feel into the rabbit hole of making money online. I wanted to try everything. Drop shipping, print on demand, Shopify, referral programs, affiliate programs, you name it. While I did learn a lot from trying so much at once my results were not very good. When I decided to pick one thing and put all my energy into my results improved. Now I have a single focus I can great a game plan for the future. It is much easier to get some real work done if you know what it is you need to do. Promoting every affiliate program you find is not a game plan.

Know the Fundamentals

Everything you ever learn starts with the fundamentals. Before you learn to read you have to understand how letters work. This stands true for affiliate marketing as well. I have seen too many times, someone gets an affiliate link and just directly links to it everywhere. They then wonder why they are not making any money. Affiliate marketing is more complicated than just sending traffic to your affiliate links. Taking some time to looking into the fundamentals for affective affiliate marking can save you a lot of time and money. It is always better to get your ducks in a row.

Research What is Working For Others

I think a lot of people just getting into affiliate marketing focus on the affiliate part and lose touch with the marketing. I think marketing should be the main focus. You can have 100's of affiliate links and still not make any commissions if you do not understand marketing. Look to those who are just killing it in sales and marketing. Learn whatever you can from their tactics, strategies, marketing, and branding.

Do Not Expect Quick Results

Learning how to be a successful affiliate marketer take time and not everyone can stick it out. Many people will quit before they make their first dollar. Do you think the top affiliate marketers nailed it on their first day? No way! They did the research, the work and then over time reaped the rewards. Keep this in mind on your affiliate marketing journey.

Do The Work

Affiliate marketing is often associated with passive income. This is mostly a myth. It takes lots of hard work to make lots of money. If you are willing to put in the time and do the work, once you know what you should be doing, your chances of success will increase. Do not fall in love with the passive income dream, do the work.

Create Content You are Proud of

There is a big difference in ugly work and lazy work. When I first started affiliate marking did a lot of lazy work. Basically spamming my links anywhere I could. This got me squat. Then I changed gears. I started creating content I could be proud of. Now my blog posts, YouTube videos and edited images were not pretty when I started. I kept making content though and a funny thing happened, my content got better. I learned what worked and what did not. I am still learning but my content is light years from where I started. I only I had spent my first years in affiliate marketing working on content creation skills. I can only imagine how pretty my content would be now. So start creating content you can be proud of and do not worry if it looks amateur, it is! Over time you will get better. As they say "Practice makes Perfect!"

Pick the Perfect Niche

When you start working as an affiliate marketer, you have lots of niches to pick from. It can be an overwhelming decision to go through all those different niche options and pick the best niche for you. However, you need to understand that the decision you take in here can create a major impact on the rest of your career as an affiliate marketer. Therefore, you should always try your best to pick the perfect affiliate marketing niche and move forward with. Some of the niches have a high competition when compared to others. Likewise, some of the niches are extremely popular among potential customers when compared to others. It is up to you to compare these niches and pick the best one out of them. This can be a time-consuming process. However, the time that you spend to pick a niche is totally worth it when compared to the benefits. It is also better if you can make sure that the niche you pick aligns with your personal preferences. Then you will get the temptation to go ahead with affiliate marketing and receiving the benefits that come along with it. I suggest picking a niche that is associated with a hobby of yours. Having a personal connection with your niche has many benefits. You will have personal knowledge and experience with the content you would be creating. It is much easier to be helpful on a topic if you know what you are talking about. Caring about your niche will also keep you from giving up so quickly. There is nothing worse than creating content on something you do not care about over and over. Also being involved in your niche you should have your ear to the ground on current developments in that field. This is low hanging fruit for content creators. Think about anything you have just slightly more knowledge about than the average person. If that niche has a following, tribe, club, magazine or tv show it should work as a niche. Pick then niche that works for you then look for affiliate links that you can promote.

Learn How to Assess and Outrank Your Competition

As an affiliate marketer, you will have to deal with lots of competition. It is important to understand how to outrank your competition. All the affiliate marketers who are looking forward to success out of their affiliate marketing initiatives should have a clear understanding of how to work as SEO experts as well. Then you will be able to beat the tough competition that you have to deal with. Here is a list of some of the most important SEO skills that you need to learn as an affiliate marketer. If you don’t have these skills, it is high time to make an effort to learn them. o How to do an excellent keyword research. o Quality link building. o Using Google Analytics. o Producing quality content on a regular basis. o Optimizing the websites. o Understanding competition. When you have all these skills, you will not have to struggle too hard to beat your competition. Therefore, you will be able to receive positive results out of the time and effort that you are spending creating content for affiliate marketing.

Pick a Profitable Affiliate Program

You will also be able to discover a large number of affiliate programs available out there. You can compare these different affiliate programs and pick the most profitable affiliate program out of them. Looking for affiliate programs offered by products and services in your niche is a great place to start. Since you have a basic understanding of the niche that you want to go ahead with, you will be able to list all the affiliate programs that offer products in that niche. Then you will be able to pick a perfect affiliate program out of them according to your preferences. You can then stick to the affiliate program and start working as an affiliate marketer. In fact, you can build your portfolio of affiliate links.

Believe in Your Affiliate Program as Well as Your Products

When you are promoting the affiliate products through your website or blog, you will need to develop credibility around you as an expert. This is where you should think about growing a captive audience for the blog as well. You can do that by believing in the affiliate program and the products that you promote. You need to make sure that you are having a strong partnership with the affiliate program. It should not just be another method that you are using to make money. It should provide you with the chance to promote the products and services that you believe to perform well.

Get the Help of Low-cost Marketing Tools

You don’t have to spend a fortune to promote what you offer. You will be able to discover lots of low-cost marketing tools. All you have to do is to learn what low-cost marketing tools can deliver positive results to you and stick to them. If possible, you should stick to free products as much as possible when you start. Once you are making money, reinvest. Most of the affiliate marketers don’t have lots of capital to be spent at the beginning of their affiliate marketing initiatives. In fact, you don’t need to have lots of capital like that to promote your products. All you need to do is to learn how to market your products in a cost-effective manner. When it comes to affiliate marketing, many focus heavily on email marketing. Email marketing can help you to boost the overall visibility of the products that you are promoting as an affiliate. There are free to use email marketing programs such as MailChimp. They will provide you with the opportunity to develop your mail list and then send out your promotional emails without spending lots of money. Anyone who engages with affiliate marketing should also pay more attention to social media marketing. That’s because most of your customers are on social media and you need to make sure that you are tapping them effectively. If you want, you can take a look at low-cost social media monitoring tools. Even if these tools provide their services to you at a lower price tag, you will be able to get effective results when monitoring your large scale social media marketing campaigns. You can also find lots of free website pop-up and survey tools and plugins. You can use these tools and promote your affiliate products and gather useful information from potential customers to improve the effectiveness of affiliate marketing campaigns.

Know the Common Affiliate Marketing Pitfalls

Affiliate marketers should have a clear understanding of their common pitfalls. Then you will be able to refrain from getting into the common mistakes associated with affiliate marketing. We often see how the affiliates tend to get too aggressive about their campaigns. This is one of the biggest mistakes that you can do as an affiliate. Instead of being overly aggressive, you should have a solid understanding of how to wait until the perfect moment for your call to action. Then you will be able to receive better positive results. You should also make sure that you are investing lots of time to do the market research. This will help you to figure out the perfect target audience for the product or service that you are promoting. Then you need to go ahead and develop appropriate content while keeping that audience group in mind. This will help you to deliver all the information needed by people in your audience. As a result, you will be able to receive positive results out of affiliate marketing.

Develop Product Tables

The habit of developing product tables can deliver a range of benefits to the people who are engaged with affiliate marketing. Therefore, you should go ahead and invest more time with developing product tables. In the meantime, you can also think about creating comparison charts. These elements can help you to summarize all the product features. Always keep in mind that people don’t have lots of time to compare the products and services that you offer. Therefore, you should provide your assistance to them with digesting content in an effective manner. That’s where the product tables and comparison charts will be able to help you. If you can invest more time and effort, you can think about getting infographics created as well. Then you will be able to support all the people who wish to learn from the content that you share. There are numerous plugins, which you can use for the development of product tables and comparison charts. It is better if you can start using a few such plugins. People love a good table, list, chart or infographic. These will help you will your S.E.O. as well.

Make Sure Your Website is Perfect

You may choose to use a website for the affiliate marketing efforts. In such a situation, you need to make sure that your website is perfect at all times. One of the biggest issues that we see in websites used by affiliate marketers is 404 errors. Such errors indicate that you haven’t paid enough attention towards the development of the website. You shouldn’t allow that to happen. You must carefully go through the website and make sure that all the web pages and links are properly linked. Then you can make sure that there are no 404 errors. This will also deliver a positive experience to the visitors who are going through your website. Keeping your website sharp and simple then focusing on creating awesome content is a winning recipe. Many affiliate marketers loose themselves trying to get their website to be super cool. I suggest keeping it simple and clean. It is more important that people can find what they are looking for than that they like the "look" of your website. Think about Wikipedia. It has a very simple design and people can find what they are looking for. How many people use this site every day? Keep that in mind.

Make Your Website Look Professional

This tip is related to the previous one. However, we thought of sharing it in a separate tip. That’s because you shouldn’t ignore this tip. The professionalism of your website can contribute a lot towards the amount of money that you will be able to earn as an affiliate marketer. Therefore, you need to make sure that you have a professional looking website designed and developed at all times. If you don’t have such a professional looking website, it would be worthy to pay a professional developer and get a one developed. Your website should be reliable. It should load quickly, even on mobile devices. In addition to that, you need to make sure that your website doesn’t go offline. You will have to spend money out of your pocket to get the help of an expert and develop such a professional-looking website. However, you don’t need to worry too much about the amount of money that you spend. That’s because it will be a good investment for the future.

Follow the Top Affiliate Marketers

As an affiliate marketer, you should have the willingness and time to learn how to do it right. This is why you should follow the top affiliate marketers. You can follow them on social media and YouTube. This will help you learn a lot about affiliate marketing. If you can spend your money, it is better if you can follow some of the affiliate marketing course created by these top affiliate marketers. These guides are in a position to share the best knowledge with you. Before you buy such an affiliate marketing course to follow, you need to go ahead and take a look at the content available. Then you should check the credibility of the author and see whether he is really a successful affiliate marketer or not.

These things will help you to make sure that you are following a credible affiliate marketing course, which you will be able to trust.

Try to be Helpful at all Times

As the old saying goes "You catch more bees with honey than vinegar". When trying to promote affiliate links it is a good idea to be as honest and helpful as possible. Not only do people react positively to others helping them, it feels good to do so. You should try to be helpful at all times as an affiliate marketer. This might require some changes in the way you think. If you focus on helping others at all times, you will be able to get many good things to come your way. You will gain trust from your audience and people buy from people they trust. You can be helpful in content that you are sharing on a blog. This is where you can share personal testimonials as well. In addition to that, you need to pick the problems that people often face with regard to your niche and try to help them find solutions. In addition to that, you will also be able to tempt the audience to purchase the products or services that you are promoting through affiliate marketing as well.

Get to Know About Affiliate Frauds

All affiliate marketers should have a solid understanding of affiliate marketing frauds that take place. During the recent past, we can see how the number of frauds with regards to affiliate marketing has increased significantly. Therefore, you need to be aware of how to detect fraud.

In fact, the ability that you have to detect affiliate marketing fraud and act beforehand will provide you with the chance to boost your overall credulity as an affiliate marketing expert. There are some common signs, which you can think about using in order to detect affiliate marketing frauds. For example, fraud affiliate marketing programs are not communicative. They are constantly ignoring the emails that you send. You can also do some simple research on the internet and you will come across lots of customer complaints. In addition to that, frequent chargebacks also act as an indication to convince you that you are dealing with affiliate marketing fraud. You need to make sure that you walk out from frauds as soon as you spot them. Then you will be able to stay away from the negative effects that affiliate marketing frauds can create on your career as an affiliate marketer. Avoid them if at all possible.

Keep all the Content Natural

The content that you share through your blog or website as an affiliate marketer should be kept natural at all times. In addition to that, you will need to be engaging as much as possible with your audience. Then you will be able to create solid experiences among people who are interested in getting what you offer. You should never lie with the intention of getting the products or services that you promote to be sold. For example, if you are aware of the drawbacks of a product that you promote, you should clearly mention them. Then the potential customers will be able to get to know about it before they buy. Likewise, you need to keep on sharing your honest opinion. You can think about using your personal experiences as the base for creating affiliate marketing content. You should also be transparent with the affiliate marketing work that you do. You will need to tell the visitors to your website that you are using affiliate links within the content. You are required by the FTC to disclose all of your affiliate links. You must also make sure that you are only reviewing the products or services that align with the niche of your affiliate marketing blog or website. Then you should make sure that your audience can get to know about them and they show and interest in what you promote.

Have an Understanding about the Legal Boundaries

There are numerous legal boundaries, which you need to adhere to while you work as an affiliate marketing expert. It is important for you to be aware of those legal boundaries as well. For example, you need to make sure that all your affiliate marketing efforts are complying with the trade laws of the government. In addition to that, you need to get to know about the laws before you start your own blog or website as an affiliate marketer. It is better if you can think about getting a disclosure policy integrated into the website. Then you will be able to showcase the level of transparency that you maintain as an affiliate marketing professional. When you neglect this, there is a high possibility for your business to experience penalties in the long run as well. Therefore, you must make sure that you are never ignoring these rules when you proceed with affiliate marketing.

Use Proper Tools to Analyze the Results

A large number of tools are available for you to analyze the results that you get out of your affiliate marketing efforts. It is a good habit to start using such tools to analyze the results that you get with all the time as well as money that you are spending on affiliate marketing. Otherwise, the time and money that you spend on affiliate marketing will go in vain and you will not even have a clear understanding of it. You shouldn’t allow this to happen at any given instance. Data is the key to learn what is working and what is not. You can also discover lots of tools, which will help you to analyze the results that you are receiving as an affiliate marketer. You can get them integrated into the website or blog. Google Analytics can be considered a perfect example of such a tool that is available for you to use.

Based on the information collected and generated by the tool, you will need to make appropriate changes to the affiliate marketing campaigns and strategies. Then you will be able to increase the volume of revenue that you are generating on a daily basis.

Try the Product or Services on Your Own

It will be a good idea to try the product or service that you are promoting on your own. Then you will be able to understand it. Here, you need to understand that it will consume lots of time and effort to build trust among potential customers and get them to purchase the products that you promote. However, you will be able to accelerate this process by trying out the products on your own. When you try the product or the service, you will be able to learn a lot about it. You can also take photos and videos when you are trying the product. Then you should write down the honest opinion that you had with the product or service in your affiliate marketing blog. Then you will be able to get credibility. When you are promoting such a personal experience with photos and videos, people will trust you. Hence, some people will eventually go ahead and purchase what you offer. This will contribute towards the profits that you can generate.

Develop Excellent Partnerships with Others

You will not be able to work on your own and become successful as an affiliate marketer. You need to make sure that you are working collaboratively with others as well. This is where you should try your best to develop partnerships. It is better if you can focus more on developing partnerships with influencers. The influencers that you pick should be interested in or associated with the product or service that you promote in any given way. Then you can request their assistance to promote the products or services that you offer. When you keep on promoting your products or services in this kind of an approach, you will be able to convince people with less effort.

How To Pick An Affiliate Marketing Niche

First of all, let us talk about what a niche is. A niche in the simplest terms is the category your content is in. For example, my niche for this website is affiliate marketing. This is the topic most of my content focuses on. Picking a niche can be tricky. It seems like a big decision right? Many people get hung up on this step. If you can, push through and just make a decision. As you start to create content you will get a better sense of what a good niche is. At that point you can even start a second brand, for now though let’s look at what is important when you pick your niche. A good niche choice should meet as many of the follow requirements as possible. It should - Be a topic you care about and have experience withHave a group of people interested in itHave products or services that benefit the people interested in itBe a topic you will not mind researching Be a topic you will not mind writing about Hobbies, personal interests and passtimes are good places to start looking for a niche that will work for you.

Creating Your Homebase Blog Website

For this step I suggest creating a blog website because it offers the most benefit in the long run as a home base. Having a website allows you to build a brand presence online. This will be where you direct your audience. Pick A Website Hosting Service Provider

There are many options to choose from when it comes to picking a website host. I will compare my top 2 so you can make up your own mind. Both of these website hosting providers offer a discount to new users. This reduced price can be applied to 1, 2, or 3 years. Once this introduction period is over the price will go up, so I recommend paying for as much as you can up front so save money in the long run. BlueHost BlueHost is my number 2 suggestion for a web host. This hosting service is the one recommended by WordPress.org. It is, from my experience, the most suggested and used website hosting service out there. Below is my affiliate link for BlueHost. This affiliate link pays me commissions at no extra cost to you. https://www.bluehost.com/track/bestsignup/ Sign Up For BlueHost SiteGround This is my number 1 suggestion for a web host. I am a constant user of technical and customer support for lots of my website tools. SiteGround has fast and knowledgeable support that has never failed me. Below is my affiliate link for SiteGround. This affiliate link pays me commissions at no extra cost to you. https://www.siteground.com/index.htm?afcode=396e6bef564936572a09158dc1fa4373 Sign Up For SiteGround After picking a host you will need to install Wordpress onto your website. Your host should offer customer support to help you get this set up correctly. Pick A Theme There are plenty of free themes offered by Wordpress for you to choose from. Find one you like and go with it. This is another step many people get stuck on so if you can push through and make a decision you’ll save yourself quite a bit of time. My personal favorite paid theme is called Acabado. This theme was created for members of Project 24, which I will talk about later. This theme was designed to be simple, fast and easy to set up. Below is my affiliate link for the Acaboado theme. This affiliate link pays me commissions at no extra cost to you. Acabado

*Time And Money Saving Tip*

Below is a blog post that contains a few benefits to starting a blog website using Wordpress.org instead of Wordpress.com. If you have not set up a blog website before this post could save you hundreds of dollars! https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/hosting-moving-from-wordpress-com-to-siteground/ Develop Your Brand

Before you dive into setting up your website you need to develop your brand. I suggest picking a brand name with an available url that has between 2 and 4 words that pertain to your chosen niche. I use NameCheap to check availability and buy urls. They have great customer service and an app! This really comes in handy when I What to check if a url is taken while I’m away from home. Once you have decided on a brand name and a website URL the next thing I recommend you doing is getting a logo. The blog post below will walk you through how I get logos for my websites. https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/how-to-get-a-lost-cost-logo-fiverr-case-study/

How To Find Affiliate Offers To Promote

Finding affiliate programs and offers to promote is very easy these days. Simply search for a product or service on google but add the words Affiliate Program to your search. This is how I find most of the affiliate programs I promote. In the blog post below I talk about 15 affiliate programs you could join and promote. https://yourhelpfulaffiliate.com/15-affiliate-marketing-programs-sign-up-links/

How To Create Content For Affiliate Marketing

The content you create on your blog website Should be written with two things in mind, your target audience and search engines. Do you want to focus on your target audience because that’s who you’re trying to help and you want to focus on search engines because that’s how they’re going to find you. The formula for good affiliate marketing blogs goes as follows. You want to paint a picture of the story of the problem of your target audience. This way you can show that you understand the problem they’re having. Once you’ve done this you want to suggest a solution. This is where your affiliate offer could come in. In a clear and helpful way you should explain how the affiliate offer you are promoting will solve the problem they’re having.

How To Create A Resource Page For Your Affiliate Offers

The resource page is simply a page you can link to within your blog that contains information about all of the affiliate offers you would like to promote. Creating a page like this can increase your conversions up to 40%. This also allows your audience to see every product or service you are suggesting in one place. Once this page is created it can be very valuable to link to it anywhere you can. Places I suggest linking to this would be at the end of blog posts, in YouTube video descriptions, and in your website menu. If you can find other places to stick this link that seem to make sense do you go for it.

How To Expand Your Brand To New Platforms

After you’ve created a decent amount of blog content, a.k.a. blog posts, on your blog website you may wanna start considering expanding your brand to new platforms. I suggest using platforms where the content has a longer shelf life that’s why I recommend YouTube and podcasts. Setting up a YouTube channel or a podcast is easy and free. You can do this by simply downloading the YouTube app or a podcasting app and starting to create content on it.

What Is The Best Affiliate Marketing Choice I have Made?

I have spend years chasing the dream that I could make money online. Trying to figure everything out on my own was difficult, time consuming and unsuccessful. So what changed? I decided to find someone who knows what they are doing and learn from them. I know there are tons of gurus, coaches and teachers on the internet who want you to take their course.

Finding Blog Content Writers On Fiverr

This really did not take much time. I use the Fiverr phone app, so I just opened that up. Next I tapped on the search bar then from the auto suggestions I selected the Writing and Translation category. The first option in this subcategory is Articles And Blog Posts. I selected that next. From there I just looked around until I found 4 different gigs that were $5 and offered to write a blog post containing 500 words about a topic of my choice. I made sure to read some of the reviews and the full gig description before ordering. These are the Fiverr gigs that I picked.

Order Blog Posts On Fiverr

This is pretty standard Fiverr stuff. The gig cost $5 and Fiverr charges a $2 fee. I selected order gig. Each gig had slightly different order requirements. Below are photos of each of their order requirements and what I requested. #1

*Note* The write for gig #4 contacted me to mention that this gig focuses on casual blog post. I admit I did give her a pretty deep topic. She offered to write the piece for an additional $15 or I could change the blog topic to something simpler. We settled on - How To Write A Blog Post For Beginners.

Other than a few grammar errors (less than 5) this article was more than I expected. He covered the topic plus some. This blog post was 977 words long. I did add some content to this post to increase the word count and cover my bases on the topic. A few more paragraphs, a few lists and a table go a long way for user experience.

Conclusion

I feel like I learned a lot from this Fiverr blog writer case study. Do not expect a perfect blog post, editing will be required. However, you will get a nice skeleton of a blog post to build your own voice into. I think this is a good way to fight burnout or writers block. I also think compared to other online blog writing services Fiverr is a bargain. Taking a bit of time to add content and media to these really makes them come to life. Make sure to add your flavor and voice to the post so you do not end up with different writing styles on your website. My Favorite Fiverr Blog Writer

Blog post writer #2 or Trevis24 won this case study by a long shot. At 977 words he basically doubled the word count of every other writer. The delivery was fast but the writing did not seem rushed. He did his own research and was very nice to chat with. Since doing this case study I have made Trevis24 my go to paid blog content writer. If you want a longer post say 1000, 2000, or 3000 words just chat with him about it before hand and he’ll give you a reasonably priced quote. I’ve had him write four more blog post for me and I have liked every single one. He has also not turned down any of the topics I wanted him to write about which is pretty cool. He does thorough research on the topic, organizes the information, and delivers a hefty word count for a great price. You can order a blog post from this writer through my affiliate link below.
