GETTING STARTED
.
You don’t need a website just yet. As long as you are on the web and can
send out e-mails you will be O/K.
The first thing to do is to select a few affiliate programs that have a two
tier payment system operating. It is essential that all of the programs are
of a similar theme. The reason for this will become plain in a minute.
Now I want you to sit down and concentrate. You are going to write an article
for publication in a number of e-zines. A lot of you will be tempted to give
up at this point. ‘DON’T. It is not as difficult as you may think.
If you have never written an e-zine article before, I suggest that you sign
up for a few e-zines and newsletters (They are the same thing under different
names) and study the articles in them. Not only will it give you an insight
as to how they are composed, It will also give you inspiration and ideas for
your own articles.
There is nothing wrong with copying an idea. As long as you don’t copy
someone else’s text. Ideas are not copy-write.
The written text is.
The articles that you are going to write should be in the same theme as the
affiliate programs that you have joined because at the end of the article you
will write a ‘By-line’.
This is just a short paragraph about yourself and what you do. At the end you
will place a link to one of your affiliate programs. The e-zines that use your
articles will do so for free on the proviso that they publish your By-line with
the link to your affiliate program. This is your only reason for writing the
article.
If you distribute your article via one or more of the article agencies it can
be taken up by dozens of e-zine publishers over a period of time.
People who click on your affiliate link are obviously interested in what you
are offering or they would not be reading that particular e-zine in the first
place. They are some of the best prospects that you can get.
If your article is published in a minimum of ten e-zines with a total readership
of perhaps fifty thousand interested people, it only takes a small percentage
to take up your offer for you to be in business. If your article is well written
with good subject matter there is a very good chance that fifty or more e-zines
will publish it over a period of a couple of months.
If you are a bit short of cash for your advertising budget, you will find that
this is an absolutely no cost way of advertising. Not only that, it is the easiest
and the best way of putting your project in front of hundreds of thousands of
interested prospects.
I have found that writing articles for e-zines and distributing them via article
agencies is every bit as good as any Pay Per Click system where it costs you
money for every person who clicks on one of your links.
You can submit your articles to individual e-zine publishers but it is very
time consuming and I find that I am lucky to get a favourable response from
one in ten publishers that I contact in this way….
Once you have written your first article and had it published, you will find
‘as I did’ that the next one comes easier to write.
Try to write a new article every week. Also find another article agency every
day or two and submit to them your existing articles. This way your articles
will very soon be published and read world-wide. Every time that you get an
article published it is new money in your bank account.
Earlier, I suggested that you sign up with affiliate programs that have a two
tier system.
This means that anyone who joins the progrom through one of your links and signs
up someone else, receives their commission and you also get a fee as well. This
can increase your earnings in the long term to a considerable degree.
As I said at the start, You can get by without a website.
That does not mean that you could not do better with one.
A website can be the hub for a number of programs. You send your prospects
to the website where you have details of all of your projects. Not only that,
you can capture the e-mail address of all those who purchase from you with the
object of selling to them again at a future date.
Without a website, the best way of collecting e-mail addresses is to have an
e-zine to do the collecting for you.
But that is another story.
In the meantime. GIVE IT A GO!!!!
