An Affiliate Marketer from the Ground Up

I just read a post over at the Warrior Forum. The guy was kind of slamming article marketing. Needless to say he took a lot of flack over it, mainly because there’s many people that know the potential benefits from article marketing.

I don’t have a lot of money to put into my efforts of making money online. I’ve lost more in PPC than I care to think about. I’ve been reading a lot about it and I will eventually get it to work for me.

Article marketing however, requires nothing more that a little time, and the ability to compose articles that are at least somewhat interesting and/or informative. If you’ve got the writing skills that most of us should have, you should be able to get good rsults from article marketing. I, obviously, have only average writing skills, at least I hope I do, and I’ve gotten very good results from my efforts.

If you’re just looking for dollars immediately, there might be more productive methods. The long term benefits of article marketing, mainly the backlinks, can have extremely good results long-term. Remember, the links will help boost your ranking in the search engines, which means more traffic, and of course more traffic will, hopefully mean more money.

Never underestimate article marketing. It is used so often, and is so highly recommended for a reason – it works!

You know, everyone pretty much uses many of the same methods for trying to generate traffic to the (probable) several sites, most likely WordPress blogs that they have set up. I guess people are pretty easy to figure out, everyone is doing whatever is hot at the time. Pretty soon, after the idea has been beat to death, it goes away and someone else is on top of the heap making money from all the wanna-bes doing the same thing everyone else is.

I guess the last “hot tip” for generating some traffic was social bookmarking. The last site that I used social bookmarking heavily on, really never beneifted at all from it. I did finally make some money with it, but social bookmarking didn’t help much.

Article marketing has also been a good way to get some (usually) quality backlinks. That’s assuming of course, that most of the individuals that grab your articles from EzineArticles, GoArticles or where ever else you publish them to, leaves the bio box information in tact. You know a lot of them don’t though. I have had pretty decent luck with articles overall.

Well, I just found out about a new site (new to me anyway) that is looking very good. It’s named Free Traffic System (http://FreeTrafficSystem.com), and, as it’s name implies, it is totally free. At first it may look like just another article directory, but there’s a little different twist – actually a couple of differences. For one, by using placeholder tokens, you can take one article, and by spinning it on the FTS site you can come up with several different versions, with different titles, body content, URLs, and anchor text, that will pass for original content.

When you publish your article, it will be sent to up to thirty different (relative) blogs that you select. What else is really cool is that the articles are only sent out at the rate of several per day. Google “knows” something is up when a new site that has zero backlinks, all of a sudden, in an hour, gets two hundred links. It’s just not natural – well, actually I guess it is because it’s now natural for everyone to do the same thing and try to cheat to get the links.

Anyway, if you haven’t heard of Free TRaffic system, you have now. Oh, I almost forgot – another cool thing about FTS is they have an affiliate program. No, you don’t get money, but you get extra backlinks from your article submissions, and if you add your WordPress blog as a blog to submit articles to, you get an extra 7% more in backlinks, and the unique content for your blog of course.

Overall, it sounds like a very good system. I’m about to find out, I’m getting ready to submit my first article and add a blog to receive articles also…we’ll see how it works.

I only write about software that I actually own myself, or that I have first hand knowledge of, and I have a great recommendation.

I just finished buying and downloading a fantastic piece of software that I wish I would have bought months ago. It’s called Instant Article Wizard, and it’s a dream come true. If you’re an Affiliate Marketer, Article Marketer or just a Website owner that’s in need of quality content, Instant Article Wizard is just for you.

Instant Article Wizard Picture

It’s a digital product so you can purchase, download, install and start using the software in a matter of minutes. The interface is clean and extremely easy to understand, especially with rollover tips. There’s not much to learn about using the software. When you go to the author’s site, there are two videos that show the software in use, so you’ll pretty much know how to use it as soon as it’s installed.

Instant Article Wizard will take a set of keywords that you provide, and find subtopics that will enable you to construct a top-quality article. If you’ve seen some of the other products out there that claim to ‘auto-generate’ articles, they leave much to be desired. Many times the articles aren’t even readable as normal, written-by-human articles.

This software is extremely easy to use because it’s just a matter of clicking on the information that you want to use and then constructing the sentences for the article. Of course you’ll want to run a spell check on the finished product.

I could go on and on, but the best way to get the true value of the software is to see it in action. Go to the Instant Article Wizard 2.0 site now to read about the features, and to watch the videos of the author explaining the software. He also ‘builds’ an article in 8 minutes to give you an idea of what is possible with this amazing tool.
