Work At Home Affiliate Marketing Planning
I’ve been enjoying the benefits of affiliate marketing and the Internet for quite some time now and what started as a single non targeted website has turned into focused blogging for affiliate cash.
At the moment I have 12 sites on the go, ten are built around my hobbies while the other two are make money sites where I share what I’ve learned over the years of online marketing.
I started with an idea to work from home and make a full time living. It wasn’t as easy as it played out in my head but eventually I learned what I needed in order to make money with affiliate marketing.
It All Began With Some Niche Research
Looking back it would have probably saved me a lot of frustrating moments, so do start with niche research, as it’s very sound advice. Can you tell that I didn’t really start with niche research?
It took a while but I came to understand research was the best route to go as guessing wasn’t making me anything more than frustrated.
Blogging About Things You Really Enjoy
After spinning my wheels for some time I gave researching niches that matched a few of my hobbies a try.
I found that fly fishing was an area I could work for years so I started my first fly fishing blog. Later I added a second blog to the site for fly tying.
It was so much easier writing content for a niche I lived in for half the year, fishing.
I created articles for both blogs for almost 3 months and had a couple of hundred unique readers per day so I monetized my blogs with a few affiliate products and started making some money.
That little bit of success, which only came after I decide I needed to learn how to make money with affiliate marketing, gave me the confidence to research another hobby and soon started my backyard gardening tips site.
It really is easier to keep my readers coming back when I enjoy writing and can create quality content.
The lesson learned for me and one I would like to share is “Research Your Niches”. Learn how to become a super affiliate and you will be able to work from home and make your living online.
Rosalind, author of the Super Affiliate Handbook put it this way.
“Think a year or two down the road. Will you still have something to say about the niche you’ve chosen.”
Credibility Is Really Important Today
I don’t often purchase from a site I have just found, unless of course I have been given the site address as a strong reference from someone I trust. It usually takes me a few visits before I feel I can trust.
However for many sites I have no problem deciding about whether to trust them or not. I just leave because a few red flags scared me off immediately. I do have a few expectations when I am on a site, well when it comes to business anyways.
Some of the reasons I reach for the back button:
- Site is not on target with the keywords I used during my Google search.
- Categories cover all possible niches and categories
- Content doesn’t reads like a human wrote it
- Too much going on other than the article I am trying to read. Too flashy.
I think of it this way. What do you have that’s going to keep me on your site?
Invest the time to learn how to be a super affiliate with Rosalind’s great affiliate guide.
Learn not only what it takes to be a great affiliate but also the things that can stand in your way. Those were the places I had to do the most because I didn’t think I needed to learn how to make money online.
My traffic stats showed me how much longer my visitors were staying on my blogs after I implemented a few changes to my sites.
Learning how to become a super affiliate isn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be. My advice is to learn from a real super affiliate, Rosalind Gardner through her Super Affiliate Handbook. It certainly has helped me.
