I know it’s been quite a while since  posted here. I’ve been pretty busy working on stuff and continuing to build my sites, and improve on my internet and affiliate marketing.

Since starting this whole thing right around December 1, I am almost up on my first year anniversary.  This is pretty exciting. As I have had winners and losers.  One of the neatest things I have done is stumbled upon a site that I have been following for now since about May. That makes 5 months, and I have radically shifted my approach to affiliate marketing.

One of the things I have gotten involved in is SEO and PPC.  One of the interesting things is that PPC is really a form of SEO…

Meaning, if your SEO sucks, then your PPC campaigns will suck too.  That’s because you will not have picked the right keywords, or optimized them for success.  You will pay higher CPC, and have less conversions.

Overall, the important things Ive learned that apply to both is this.

1. You need traffic. Not just lots…but more importantly targeted.  You need to pick keywords that are targeted to the right people. People that have a need to fill.

2. You need high rankings on the big G. That means position 1.

3. If you are going for organic traffic. Your seo skills will revolve around your ability to get links.  Anchored text back links to your site.  At the end of the day, the one with the most links wins.

Anyway, I plan on visiting and posting more about the new things Im working on and the things you need to do if you plan on making money online.

Till Then,

So why is it that I am so in love with Wealthy Affiliate University, and more importantly, why should you care?

Here it is straight up.

The reason I am a firm believer in Wealthy Affiliate is because I was just like you and
I wanted to find out a way to improve my income, and hopefully
have the option to quit my job one day….or at least have control to do so if I wanted to!

You know what I mean…Imagine being able to tell your boss “bye-bye”

So I went looking…on the internet, probably in the same way that you are doing, and
I saw alot of places…make money online, make a million dollars…blah, blah, blah…

I was pretty much ready to throw in the towel, and I really, can’t remember how, but I stumbled upon the site…

Enter Wealthy Affiliate

What initially attracted me was that they called it a University…and they had it set up with
a curriculum. I like structure, and wanted a place that would guide me in a structred way…
know what I mean?

Then I read more and really looked around the site…It DIDN’T have all the real heavy
salesy pitch that so many sites have…

And…they had tons of testimonials, and there were tons of meaningful tools available.
When I added up all the value of the tools, and what I felt like real people who really wanted to teach, I signed up.

So How Has My Experience Been with Wealthy Affiliate?

I am totally glad that I signed up. And, I have learned how to make money. Now, I do have to say that it is work..meaning, I have to put in effort, and not all of my efforts are profitable. But overall- I am making good money now…I am not able to quit my job, but I feel like I can start to build on this and scale is up and get better and better.

There are many internet marketing online affiliate programs out there, and sometimes it can be a bear to figure out which ones to get started with, and which ones, are just a bunch of bunk! It took me a while to decide which internet marketing online affiliate programs I wanted to work with, but after searching, I am glad I made the decisions I made in order to make money online

The very first internet marketing online affiliate program that I signed up for was clickbank.com. This is one of the first sites that many people start out with, and they really offer a lot of digital products available for immediate download. The other reason people starting out in affiliate marketing pick click bank is that it is really easy to use, and the service does not require you to have a website to register and start promoting. You can sign up right away, and immediately start to promote through article marketing, ppc, or bum marketing.

Another great internet marketing online affiliate program to look at is commission junction. Commission junction can be found at cj.com and they are a large site that many of the big offline, brick and mortar companies sign up for to have their online affiliate programs. They do require you to have a website though.

There are some other great affiliate marketing sites like shareasale.com, and linkshare.com. They are similar to commission junction, and have a solid reputation.

The last place to consider looking for internet marketing online affiliate program is by going direct to the merchant. Many merchants set up their own affiliate programs instead of signing up with a network. If this is the case, make sure you pick an affiliate program that pays on time, and has a good reputation. Afterall, your reputation is on the line.
