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.

Affiliate support - the Affiliate Classroom takes the prize!

Anik Singal, the Founder of the Affiliate Classroom, certainly sets the pace in providing support for his affiliates.

I joined as an affiliate about two weeks ago and each day I have received detailed instructions on strategies for marketing the Affiliate Classroom.

For example, the instructions about using program reviews talks about issues such as "know your product", "tactics of the best reviews", "what format to use", "where to get sample program reviews", and "alternative formats - making videos or audio explanations about the program or creating your own FAQ section".

The daily instructions cover the following areas which you can use as a checklist for your promotions of your current affiliate program:

1. pay-per-click search engines and AdWords
2. newsletter to your opt-in list
3. signature lines and forum postings
4. solo ads and classified ads in ezines
5. writing articles and submitting them to directories
6. recruiting leading internet marketers to your downline
(I've tried this and may have a taker for my Affiliate Classroom
Program!)
7. search engine optimisation on your website or blog
8. banners and AdSense
9. creating program reviews
10.ethical "bribes"
11.using pre-written articles.

Each of these come with specific, detailed instructions and are supported by more in-depth video tutorials in the member's area.

Become an "expert writer" of viral marketing articles

Anik Singal, founder of the Affiliate Classroom, is a strong advocate of the use of articles as a viral marketing tool for affiliate marketers. He also "practices what he preaches".

Anik has written many articles and is recognised as an "expert writer" by EzineArticles.com, an article directory.

He offers a range of articles for use by both affiliates and members of the Affiliate Classroom program. These provide great models for affiliates and members to emulate.

Anik also provides step-by-step coaching on how to become an "expert writer" of articles. He discusses how to create ideas for articles, how to write an article, what article directories to submit articles to and how to maximise the viral marketing effects of articles.

I recently followed Anik's step-by-step coaching and submitted an article to EzineArticles.com and, to my pleasant surprise, the article was accepted within two days. I also received recognition as an "expert writer" myself.

Becoming an "expert writer" with EzineArticles.com means that your your article is:

• featured on the high traffic home page of EzineArticles.com
• sent to the EzineArticles RSS Feed
• sent to the proprietary EzineArticles Email Alert to Members

You are also able to add the EzineArticles.com special "featured button" on your website/blog.

Increase your affiliate income by leveraging your writing

There is a lot of advice around for anyone engaged in affiliate
marketing, but much of it is un-focused and lacks integration.

We are told that we need original, focused, keyword-rich content
for our website if it is to attract search engine "crawlers" and
targeted visitors.

We are encouraged to update our affiliate marketing blog
daily because search engines love regularly updated, keyword-rich
blogs.

We are advised to create a regular (at least weekly), personalised
ezine for our mailing list and to include articles about affiliate
marketing.

We are admonished to send regular messages to our often-forgotten
downlines in affiliate programs and traffic exchanges.

We are told that writing original articles and submitting them to
article directories is a desirable form of viral marketing for
affiliate marketers.

We are urged to post to the forum of our affiliate program as
well as other forums associated with affiliate marketing.

Who has the time to do all these affiliate marketing activities?
Where are you going to find the time as a part-time affiliate
marketer?

One possible solution is to leverage your writing - make one
piece of writing serve multiple purposes.

So you have just created a post for your forum. Why not adapt
that post for your blog posting or create an article from the
post? You have written an article for your ezine, why not submit
it to article directories and/or send it to your affiliate
program downline?

Even if your posting to the forum is not adequate for an article,
you might use the title or core concept for an article. You
could add the title to your "article ideas" repository -
a spreadsheet, Notepad, word document or your mobile phone
"to-do-list".

Recently, I created an article for submission to article
directories. I then added this article to my “emarketing
articles” blog (to gain subscribers to my ezine), included it
in my weekly ezine, sent an abbreviated version to my downlines
in my affiliate programs and traffic programs and extracted some
content for inclusion in a forum posting and a posting to my
“affiliate programs” blog.

If you start thinking in terms of leveraging your writing, you
will be surprised by what you can achieve from just one original
piece of writing.
