I am sure you already know that you can make affiliate marketing work for you by publishing good, useful articles that people enjoy and learn from. The trouble is: how do you find out how to do it properly? A lot of the information out there on this topic is sketchy and incomplete. Here are three really simple steps the affiliate reseller can use right away to help you do article marketing the right way.
1. It starts with identical twins
The first job is... write an article.
(Duh.)
Bear with me. Writing an article is often the hard part for a lot of people. Do it often and it gets easier. But it starts with one article.
In the beginning, your articles might be.... well, let's just say not too good.
Give yourself a break. The very best article writers started out where you are now. They just had the will to keep going.
Now what you have to do is write another version of the same article. You're going to need two versions to do what I am about to tell you.
Don't go overboard. Do some rewording, use the same keywords, change the order of your thoughts, but make it essentially a quite similar article.
You're going to need two versions for publication. Search engines don't like to see the same thing over and over, so make them happy with this simple strategy.
You might think this already too much work.
I don't know about you, but I want to make money. Do you want to make affiliate marketing work for you? It's your call.
2. Start with the best.
Start off by publishing in the top article directories. The reason you do this is for visibility. The five or six top article directories are high traffic sites. They are where your article will get noticed... and read.
An affiliate reseller has to stay competitive. If you are not thinking of the competition... your competitor is! So decide you want your article to GET READ.
Ezinearticles is, by far, the largest and most popular article directory in the English language.
Don't question their status. They are elephantine in proportion to other directories. So... get your article there first.
Where else? Who else is among the top ranked group? No one answer to that, I am afraid--- ranking shifts over time. I'd join the top dozen or so and use the best ones at any given time. Publish version one here as well.
3. And now down the food chain.
Version two is now ready to be rolled out. You did write it, didn't you? If not, do so now!
Version two will be submitted to the next twenty highest ranked article sites. They won't be read much, because these sites don't see much traffic, but you will get valuable backlinks.
The search engines love two things: keywords and backlinks.
Good, well researched keywords get your articles found and read in the top article directories.
A ton of backlinks from the lesser ranked article sites gets your website noticed by the search engines.
You need both. No choice about this.
Let's go over this: Write an article, then write version two. Be persistent with your writing efforts; you will get comfortable with the process. And the great affiliate reseller is nothing if not tenacious-- remember your competition! Version one goes to the top five or six article directories, starting with Ezinearticles. Version two goes to the next twenty next in ranking. Keep writing articles and keep to this process, and do it at least weekly. Is the work worth it? Yes, it will pay off, almost certainly, but it will take PATIENCE and PERSISTENCE. Good luck!
