If you are new to the world of affiliate marketing or you are an old hand, you know that any way to increase your bottom line is always welcome.  With that in mind, let me suggest two resources that, if used correctly, should more than pay for themselves in no time.

Matt Callen’s MyArticleNetwork is an article syndicate membership service that distributes your niche articles directly to related blogs which are hungry for content.  Within reason, you can determine a limit to the number of versions of a spun article that you would like distributed. 

The new version of Affiliate Classroom, Anik Singal’s flagship affiliate learning resource, is ready to take on new members who want a university quality education in our field.  The results of the members of the first version are astounding.  Those members report business increases ranging from 11% to 40%.  Most of us would be happy even to find ourselves at even the low end of those results.  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.  In the case of the article network, you must be a member before you can become an affiliate.  With Affiliate Classroom 2, you may not use your own affiliate link for your personal membership purchase.  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, in a different article.  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.  While I usually drive traffic (and SEO links) to my own sites, in that article I used direct affiliate links.  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.  There is no way to estimate how much that single spun article that I wrote just a few days ago will eventually earn me.

These two valuable aids will become self-sustaining resources for me that will continue to reap benefits into the foreseeable future.
