AdWords End For Affiliates?

There’s something going on at Google and it could be bad news for affiliates. If you’re using AdWords, have a read of my comments before reading Scott Jangro’s post (follow the link within the post).

A to Z Guide For Search Engine Traffic

If you’ve been online for any length of time, you’ll know that getting visitors to your site is hard, and getting harder. SEO is very difficult to stay on top of and, as already outlined above, PPC could be getting tougher. Here’s a really useful article on getting search engine traffic: A-Z Guide

Start Your Own Affiliate Program

When I first saw the Motivated Marketing System, I couldn’t believe that such a product was being made available at such a low price. As an introductory offer, the developers have released it for $67 until the 21st April with progressive increases through to its planned selling price of $247 from the 1st May. Even at that price, it still offers exceptional value for money.

MMS is a complete affiliate management system that will allow you to integrate with most major payment processors including Paypal, Clickbank and 2CO.

It can also act as an autoresponder but will also integrate with two popular autoresponder systems, AWeber and Get Response.

In addition, you can offer instant split payments to affiliates, set up a 2-tier affiliate program, manage a membership site (paid or free) and create One Time Offers (OTO). The one off fee allows you to install on multiple domains that you own ‘though this isn’t necessary as it can handle all of your sales/affiliate programs from one installation.

If you plan on setting up your own membership site, affiliate program or just want a great way to sell your own products, you really should take a good look at the Motivated Marketing System.

Private Label

Finally, as you’ve no doubt realised, there’s been a lot of Private Label Resource (PLR) sites springing up over the past 6 months. Like anything, there are good ones and, ahem, not so good. Personally, I take a view that for the first month it’s worth subscribing to see and, as most as paid using Paypal, it’s a doddle to cancel and get a refund if you’re not satisfied.

I’ve not gone down the route of using Ghost Writers but, as an affiliate, PLR are a good first step to creating content rich websites in particular niches.

Some basic tips if you go down this path:

• Take time to edit the content you receive. You don’t necessarily have to do a complete re-write but AT LEAST add a new opening and closing paragraph. Basically, the more you can do, the better.
• Never submit PLR articles to article directories unless you’ve made at least 50% changes. - Make sure you read carefully and adhere to the terms and conditions.
• Use the content in small, highly targeted niche sites.
• Don’t be afraid to use all of the content on a site but still make it available as a download e-book (free or paid).

Here’s some sites that I definitely recommend you take a look at. Recommended PLR Sites.
