Hi Lizzy

Yes if you want to be successful as an affiliate marketer you need to take action, by that I mean not relying on others to do the work for you such as pre-made landing pages and sales pages. It is fine to use pages such as this but you should really re-write any promotional pages you have to get a better response rate from your visitors ans well as having a chance to get your sales pages indexed well.

If 50 or more other affiliates are all using the same pages you will struggle to see any positive results.

I’ve heard the tip about joining chat room and discussion boards and such before, and though I think that can be useful I think that you should try a variety of options, like you outline here, opt-in lists and email and such. Though I know the chat rooms can be very time consuming.

Good tips, I like the one about writing your own pages rather than the vendor supplied ones. I think it’s helpful to make your stand out and such. I hope these will help me make some residual income, I’m going to try them at least.

I really like your opening point: “If it is your intention to have this approach to affiliate marketing then, I would suggest that you concentrate on your day job as you are not going to survive if you think you can just sit still and wait on those big pay days to roll in.”

I have read that it is about only 95% of those who try to make money on line fail. That is a high number… think that they don’t realize how much work this can be.

Hi Jonathon

With so many changes going on right now I would be concentrating on adding value to your own site through good content, rather than trying to get artificial links from these other sites such as Hubpages and Squidoo. If you are giving your readers quality content then the backlinks will come naturally without having to use third party sites.

Many of these “affiliates” that use these platforms are just placing content where ever they can, not just for backlinks but also peppered with their affiliate links to try and get a commission. This usually leads to very low quality information which is why in most cases the links from these platforms are not even counted meaning you just wasted your time.

Excellent points Ron. There are of course any number of GURU promotions that con newbies into believing that you can get “push button” systems that autopilot millions into your bank account with 6 clicks of the mouse. When those people wake up to the fact that “magic beans” belong in fairy tales they can start doing the simple tasks that generate a real business.

With respect to using Squidoo or Hubpages which I haven’t yet done, I understand that some affiliates use these to link to their main sites to achieve additional backlinks. Do you think this extra work is worth the effort or should more focus on onpage SEO be the priority?

These are sound great. We all would like more money and with the internet developing more each day, it’s becoming easier to make money just by investing the right amount of time. I’m still learning, so all this information helps. Thanks!

Hi Martin

Yes you are right about having to push, but what you can do is supply your own landing page which you created yourself. I only ever do this if the vendor has what I believe to be a good product but poor website copy.

So in actual fact I am bypassing his copy and replacing it with mine, then I use a program such as Gotrythis to send my visitors straight to the information page of the vendors site. This is a very basic overview of how I do it…

Hi Ron, interesting post. How many clickbank sellers provided you with an alternative landing page? I have only ever found two that will actually provide templates when pushed. I did host these on my own domain and send PPC traffic and like you say, it does work.

I suppose by putting in the extra effort, we can achieve results.
