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.

Affiliate or associate marketing is frequently a challenging enterprise.  We need to know a lot more than we thought when we first entered the field.  And the learning curve can be so steep that many simply give up.

If you’re reading this, I hope that you are one of those select few who will stay committed over the long haul, constantly updating your knowledge base and applying what you have learned by taking action.  The most common problem among failed affiliate marketers is buying magic, secret plans and not implementing them to see if they actually work as promised.  Some are no more than buyers; they don’t even read the books they buy.

There are two resources for affiliate marketers that I include in my recommendations.  One of those is a new article marketing approach that automatically forwards your articles to many blogs as well as traditional websites, not just those you run yourself.  The system is called MyArticleNetwork.  Here I’m going to focus upon one use to which an affiliate marketer can put it, although the previous link will take you to a lengthier description of how the entire system works and may benefit you.

If you write an article for distribution via one or more article directories, your link is limited to the author’s resource box, usually placed at the bottom of the content.  With this new system, you can put up to three links directly into the article itself.  Contextual links are much more effective.  Most of the major article directories will not allow you to use affiliate links in your own resource box.  However, this new, vastly improved approach allow you to use affiliate links that will go directly to the vendor, without having to send your hard-won traffic to your own site first.  You can check it out for yourself by visiting this remarkable unique article marketing approach that directly submits unique versions of your articles to blogs and websites in your niche from its list of over 10,000 sites anxious to receive content.

The other resource is a complete educational system set up exclusively for affiliate marketers who are owners of various size businesses as well as those preparing for a career in affiliate management.  This is a completely revamped reissue of Anik Singal’s famous Affiliate Classroom.  Singal, who was named as one of four Business Week Magazine’s young entrepreneurs of 2008, has spent two years, along with his partner, revamping the critically acclaimed program to make it even more expansive and comprehensive.  If you are truly serious about improving your affiliate marketing business, at least sign up to receive the full information.

As I write this, the product has not yet launched, so all you can do is sign up on the squeeze page to be continually updated.  Depending upon when you read this article, it is possible that it will have already sold out.  Check to see if they have established a waiting list.  If so, sign up and hope that a space for you opens.

By the way, both have affiliate programs, however you must sign up before you get access to the affiliate programs.

Article marketing is a great way to market your business online. It’s free and it’s also effective. Though, you can do more with every article you write. You can actually create a lot more content, and take advantage of a lot more marketing opportunities with every article you write. Following are 3 methods to improve your article marketing.

The first way to boost your article marketing is to take that article and build a social networking page around it. There are a lot of popular social networking sites. You can take your article and plug it into a social networking page. Then add a few other elements to the page (depending on what the social networking site offers) and just like that you’ll have more content on the Internet. It will probably take you less than 30 minutes too.

Another great way to boost your article marketing is to make every article you write a blog entry. You should have at least 1 blog in every niche you make money in. You might have several blogs. But, whenever you make an article, you can post it on your blog as a new blog entry. You do want to change the title. You can also change some sentences in the article body. However, slight changes are all that’s really needed. Within minutes you can easily make your article into a blog entry.’

The last of the 3 ways to boost your article marketing is to make your article into a video. This is much easier then you might think. You can actually use free software to make the video or you can just use a web cam and make the video directly on YouTube. The video can be as simple as you reading the article slowly and clearly. Even a basic video like this will get views and will help you with the online marketing of your business.

There you have 3 ways to boost your article marketing. You shouldn’t just write the article, post it online, and then forget about it. You also need to use the article for making a social networking page, creating a blog entry, and a video. It will take very little time to do these 3 things and it will result in a lot of great content on the Internet for you and your business.

I am doubtless that  you have been made aware of the hundreds of thousands of hits that lots of the biggest websites on the internet receives each day. The biggest and most highly trafficed websites are large money making machines, that make typical people into internet millionaires.They employ a array of methods and techniques to stay in the lead of the game, but they also always ensure they have the marketing essentials covered as described in zero friction marketing.

The two most powerful methods for a website manager to gather visitors to their website are link exchanges and article writing.

Exchanging links is a tried and tested method for improved search engine rankings, search engines prefer websites that have both internal and external back links pointing to the main domain name page as well as backlinks to  other pages on the website.Link exchanges are at their greatest when webpages which feature related content have backlinks pointing to each other. There are quite a few link exchanges some are free and some are extremely expensive as they have elements of automation.

Author articles and then submit them to a number of article directories is a markedly effective method to create traffic.Traffic generated from articles is normally great at converting as the visitor is pre sold when they read the article.It is essential to ensure the article is of a high quality and over 300 words long. The article should also have just enough information to entice the reader to click the hyperlink to your website. There are thousands of article directories which you should submit your articles to that will also increase the number of backlinks to your website. These backlinks are one way backlinks which are seen as more powerfull in the eyes of the search engines,as said by zero friction marketing. be that as it may the dilemma with article marketing is that every article takes time to write at a good standard and also takes a long time to submit, despite the results are worth it.

If you allocate time to research more and apply the above techniques , you will definitely see a large increase in your traffic levels.
