Let These Resources for Affiliate Marketer’s Pay Their Own Way

February 4th, 2010

Whether you are an experienced affiliate marketer or are entirely new to affiliate marketing, anything that will increase your traffic and income is good. I recommend two resources that will meet those objectives, and, if used properly, they should do far more than cover your costs for them.

Matt Callen’s My Article Network is a membership service with the primary function of distributing articles directly to niche websites and blogs. From the member network of more than 10,000 sites, you may set a limit on how many of your uniquely spun articles are distributed. It is an remarkably useful tool for those of us who use article marketing extensively.

The new version of Affiliate Classroom, the well respected educational resource developed by Anik Singal for affiliate marketers looking to learn to take their business to new levels has been revamped and will soon be released anew. Members of the previous version reported increases in their business ranging from 11% to 40%. I don’t know about you, but even at the low end, I’d be happy to increase my income by eleven percent any day! Perhaps even more impressive, three quarters of those version one members said that they needed no other affiliate marketing resources. Imagine all the money saved on purchases of far less useful ebooks and other resources.

Extra good news for affiliate marketers is that both programs have an affiliate program. I neither instance can you use your own affiliate link for your own purchase of the product. Indeed, in the case of the article distribution service, you must become a member before you qualify for the affiliate program. Both offer two tier systems, encouraging all of us to seek high quality traffic of affiliate marketers who will also be good spokespeople for the membership products. And the fact that buyers will not be able to substitute their own links for that of our own links makes these affiliate programs especially attractive.

I have previously published overview of My Article Network, elsewhere. In this article, I simply want to report on a technique that I have employed to make sure that my membership costs are completely covered directly by the benefits derived from the system.

I recently wrote one article in which I reviewed two products. Most of my articles are written to obtain better SEO and to directly send traffic to my own websites. However, for this one article, I included only direct affiliate links to the vendors’ sites. The articles in the system are trickled to the various websites up to the limit that I chose. At this point, that article is just one third of the way through its publication cycle. Already, that one article has more than paid for my membership. Once all the versions of my article are published, they will stay on those site for a very long time generating additional traffic for my affiliate links. I have no idea how much more that article will eventually earn for me, but I know that whatever it earns from here on out is pure profit.

Both of these memberships will help me build my business for a long time, but the best news for me is that I can make them pay for themselves.
