Rosalind Gardner talks about affiliate marketing

I recently joined Affiliate Classroom and have been very impressed with the resources it offers to members.

One of the more valuable tools available is the regular teleconferences where Anik Singal interviews a leading affiliate marketer via teleconference with members listening in.

If you miss the teleconference, you can access the Affiliate Classroom and listen to the audio recording of the interview, if you are a member.

What is good about the interviews too is that Anik uses members' own questions to conduct the interview with the affiliate marketer.

Last week the interview was with Rosalind Gardner, who generates over $600,000 per year in affiliate earnings. So Rosalind certainly has a track record in the area!

Some of the things Roslaind stressed were:
1. create content-rich, focused web sites or blogs to attract people via the search engines
2. write reviews of products or services for your website or blog
3. add focused articles to your web site or blog
4. produce a newsletter/ezine but let your personality come through so that you can "brand yourself" (Rosalind has certainly achieved this)
5.where possible add audio and video content to your site to break up the text
6. use press releases to promote your product or services.

Rosalind indicated that adding content regularly to your web site or blog was necessary to attract the search engines. She adds two pages a week to her web site and also makes at least weekly entries to her blog.

If you want to learn how to really market on the Internet, you should join Affiliate Classroom to be able to access these teleconferences as well as success case studies, video tutorials, ebooks and step-by-step coaching for marketing your favourite program.
