Affiliate Website Marketing Strategy
Filed Under Affiliate Marketing | 1 Comment
A few days ago I came upon a great affiliate website marketing strategy. This strategy is a great one for affiliate marketing beginners, because it gives you an easy to follow system for promoting affiliate products.
The strategy involves using a simple review type of site to promote affiliate programs. The developer of this system, calls his review type sites - conduit sites.
The best part of this system, is it uses Wordpress, so it’s easy to create new pages and the search engines love these types of pages.
I don’t normally promote someone else’s products on my blogs, but this is a great product to help you get started, on the right track, in affiliate marketing.
This complete “VIP Essentials package”, gives you the templates and instructions for building Conduit sites.
I just put together my first Conduit site using the VIP Essentials blog template. Here is my Quick Review Of site, that uses the VIP Essentials Wordpress Review Template.
I love this concept of building affiliate review sites within Wordpress. It’s really just a matter of copying and pasting the product information into the appropriate fields in Wordpress. You don’t have to know HTML and create, modify or update static HTML web pages. This Wordpress Review site system makes creating review pages very easy.
Like I stated earlier, the search engines love blogs. With a few pings and a little social bookmarking, there’s no reason your blog shouldn’t be indexed in Google in a day - meaning you could start receiving traffic in a day.
Just spend about an hour a day adding a new page a day, and watch your paydays grow as your website grows.
The VIP Essentials Wordpress template is great, and works well out of the box. However, it wasn’t setup to use some of the Wordpress plugins that I like. So, I had to make a few changes to the template to use my favorite plugins properly.
I also improved the search engine optimization of the template, and added an RSS feed button and social bookmarking buttons.
If you are interested in easily creating an affiliate product review site, this is something you need to check out.
I love this Wordpress review site builder, so here’s what I’ll do for you. When you purchase the VIP Essentials through me, I’ll give you the changes I made to the templates.
You’ll just need to copy the files I changed to your web host (If you don’t have your own web host, website, see below for a special deal).
I’ll also provide you with my favorite plugins, and some information on how to use them properly. Again, you’ll just need to copy the plugins to your Wordpress plugin folder, turn them on and make a few changes to the settings.
These templates and plugins will make your review site a lean, mean, easy to use, SEO machine.
I’ll also provide you with any help you need getting your first VIP Essentials Review site setup and running properly.
So, it’s time to get your VIP Essentials Review Site Builder and get started.
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Purchase the Review Site Builder
2. Contact my Helpdesk and give me your Paypal receipt number
I’ll then be in touch and let you know how to get the files I modified to enhance the review system.
Special Deal:
If you don’t have a web host, I will buy you a domain, give you a free months web hosting ($5.95 a month after your first month) and setup your first affiliate review site, with a review already installed for only $35.
You can have your first affiliate promotion website, and not have to do any work getting it setup - and you can have it in a few days!
This additional fee is for purchasing you a domain name, and my time to setup your site. This is in addition to the VIP Essentials package which you will need to purchase. Your site would be similar to http://quickreviewof.com
Here is what you need to do:
1. Purchase the Review Site Builder
2. Contact my Helpdesk, give me your Paypal receipt number, and let me know you want the “Special Install Deal”.
Okay it’s time to get started using this simple website marketing strategy today.

It’s Mike with AffiliatePayDay again. Here are parts six and seven of the Affiliate Marketing For Beginners 10 Keys To Success course.
Build an email list
How many web sites have you visited? Have you visited a site, found something of interest, gotten interrupted, left the site and never returned? Of course you have. Don’t let this happen to your visitors.
Ask your visitors for a first name and an email address when they visit your site. Offer them something in return for that information. If they have some interest in your offering, but leave the site for whatever reason, you can email them later, reminding them to come back to your site.
They may not purchase any of your products now, but if you stay in contact with them, they may purchase your products in the future. Plus, you can notify them when you have a new product that may be of interest to them. Remember, a lost visitor is a lost sale.
Don’t hide behind a web site
I am amazed at how many web sites I see with no name or contact information. Most people prefer to do business with someone with a real name, someone they can contact, someone they can get to know.
Provide your real name, and an email address on your website so potential customers can contact you with questions, and see there is a real person behind that website. I even recommend a “Who Am I” page on your web site that gives insight to who you are as a person.
This builds trust. However, I would keep your phone number and mailing address private until you know people contacting your are worthy of your trust.
These are just a few samples of what you will learn in AffiliatePayDay, the Beginners Guide to Affiliate Marketing.
Next time we’ll learn about building a network, diversifying, and staying the course.

Hey, It’s Mike with AffiliatePayDay, the affiliate marketing for beginners guide, with part four and five of the Affiliate Marketing For Beginners 10 Keys To Success course.
Today we will combine two lessons, since they are closely tied together. Today we cover marketing your website and your affiliate products.
Market your web site
You have to let the online community know about your site. Just because you now have a web site, doesn’t mean people will come.
You will be competing with millions of other websites. People and search engines won’t even know that your site exists, if you don’t do some things to get noticed.
To get noticed, submit online press releases related to your niche, submit your site to social bookmarking services, create content on high PR sites, like Squidoo , Weebly or Hubpages.
Create incoming links by posting appropriate, quality comments on blogs that are dofollow blogs. This is a fairly new strategy that not many know about.
I have a new blog dedicated to dofollow blogs, what dofollow blogs are, and how to identify dofollow blogs.
Please respect the blog owners who are giving you link credit by posting good comments.
Write unique quality articles and submit them to article directories. This is sometimes called Bum Marketing, and is a very good strategy for gaining incoming links and traffic.
Market your affiliate products
After you have a consistent number of visitors, it’s time to promote the affiliate products you’re selling. This is usually done with a sales page that is part of your web site.
A sales page is basically an article listing the benefits of your product, and what it will do for your niche audience. Benefits can be “it can improve the quality of your life”, “learn the secrets the experts don’t want you to know”, “learn the step by step system that a 26 year old used to become a millionaire”.
These sales page benefits may seem exaggerated, but they work and they aren’t uncommon.
If you’re not experienced in writing a sales page, learn to copyright - there a large number of copyright courses available online. Or, hire a professional ghostwriter to write your sales page for you.
Use the same strategies you used to market your website to market your sales pages - press releases, articles, dofollow blogs etc.

Hey, It’s Mike with AffiliatePayDay, the affiliate marketing for beginners guide, with part three of the Affiliate Marketing For Beginners 10 Keys To Success course.
Today we will talk about building content rich site for your niche.
Once you have chosen your niche, you need to have a website to direct potential buyers to, where you present information about your niche and recommend products in your niche.
You need to build a content-filled web site focused on your niche. The primary focus of your web site is to sell the affiliate products you have chosen. But, if your site does not attract visitors, sales conversion will be virtually impossible. Create a site that focuses on the area of interest you have chosen, and populate it with rich, informative content that people would love to read. Good content will establish you as an expert in the niche. Plus, search engines love content which will give you a better position in the search engine listings.
There many free online blogs that allow you to post your content for free, and many of then can give you good rankings in the search engines.
A few of my favorites are Squidoo , Hubpages , Weebly, and Blogger.
Here are a few examples of blogs I have created with these free sites:
Sinus Infection Symptoms (Squidoo)
Free Website Builders (Hubpages)
Project Quick Cash (Weebly)
Sage Fly Rods (Blogger, I just created this a few days ago and need to add some content)
Where do you get content?
If you are an expert in your niche, it shouldn’t be hard to come up with 5 - 7 good 500 word articles to post on your blog.
If you aren’t an expert in your chosen niche, then there are a few things you can do to come up with content.
You can either research your niche to learn about it, then create content based on what you learned.
You can hire someone to write the content for you. I have seen writers offer to write 500 word articles on keywords you specify for $5.00.
You may be able to find private label rights (PLR) content that you can purchase. PLR generall means that you can do anything you want with the articles, including post them on your blogs. However, since others may also be purchasing and using the content, I suggest you rewrite the content to make your content look unique to the search engines.
Good content is king on the internet. Good content will bring visitors, keep them on you sites, make you look like and expert and generate sales for you.

Before I go any further in this post, I’d like to make a few things crystal clear. I was not given a “review copy” of Thesis. I bought the theme. I forget where I’d first heard about it, but I believe it was a tweet by copyblogger. I saw it, liked it, bought it, tweaked it and played with it. I like the theme… thus why I am using it, went back and bought a developers license so I can use it on other sites and you’re damn right I am linking to it with affiliate links.
