Article Marketing and an Epiphany
Today I had an Epiphany –
I have read many, many, many reports on Article Marketing and Affiliate Sales, including Bum Marketing. I even paid the $47 for the Bum Marketing on Crack report.
About 8 months ago, I setup a couple of WP Blogs based on the many, many, many reports’ instructions to market with articles. Basically the instructions were:
1. Buy a domain with the product name — add review to the end of it.
2. Setup a WP Blog on the domain with plugins to help with SEO.
3. Write several posts about the product — making sure keyword density is good.
4. Write a few articles about the product, make sure the bio box links to the WP Blog;
and submit to Article directories — especially Ezinearticles.com
5. Create a Squidoo lens about the product and make a few posts linking to the WP Blog.
6. Write a couple more posts spread out over a few weeks.
That’s it.
Well, the first blog I did, got only (1) product sale, and it was MONTHS after I had done all of the above.
But … the 2nd blog I compled has made close to $1000 in affiliate commissions! At first, I ran a few Google adword ads to drive traffic to the blog. I got just a couple of sales and the ROI was barely breakeven. Then Google started “liking” my
blog, and I made over $400 the 3rd month it was up.
I had to change merchants because the original merchant stopped tracking sales (a CJ merchant) — go figure. Once they were changed out, I would get one or two sales a month. Then it died for a couple of months.
Yet, in January, sales picked up again — and I just posted another sale today!
Here’s my EPIPHANY …
If I had continued to make Affiliate Product WP Blogs using the above formula — say one or two a week, I would now have 40 to 50 blogs going with probably at least 20 - 25 averaging $100 to $150 a month affiliate commissions. That would mean $2000 to $2500 a month income. BOINNNNNG — that’s me hitting myself in the head.
SOOOOO… Right Now, I am going to start making … ummmm 1 or 2 wp blogs using the above formula.
PLUS … In my next post I will be revealing a product that gives us the very LATEST 2008 internet marketing secrets.
See you soon!
And, may you all prosper, prosper, prosper and receive infinite riches!
