Internet Marketing: Are You an Affiliate? Part 4

We have covered affiliate marketing by going over preparation, goal setting and rewards; as well as your commitment. We have addressed the issues of how people might search for a solution to their problems and we touched on the importance of content.

A website without traffic is like a day without sunshine. The World Wide Web is not like a field of dreams: Just because you built it, does not mean they will come. What will drive traffic to your door is:

1. Quality, consistent content

2. Good search engine optimization

The way to accomplish this is to make sure your site has top notch information on it. In addition to good quality content on your site and your blog, it is necessary to create interesting, compelling articles to the various article submission sites that make up the dot com world. Depending on your niche, these might include the following:

• http://www.ezinearticles.com
• http://www.searchwarp.com
• http://www.holistichealtharticles.com
• http://www.goarticles.com

You want to make yourself the marketer of choice. By offering appealing, inviting copy and videos that attract people you will find that people will want to meet you. They will learn to trust you-please make sure their trust is not misplaced-and they will want to do business with you. Please bear in mind that people do business with people they know, like and trust.

Written copy in articles and videos are not the only avenue open to you. You could also create e-books; reports; and email campaigns. There is powerful traffic generation in Press Releases, internet radio and radio offline opportunities. You can hold webinars, teleseminars, interviews can be audios, written or video taped.

There is no need to erect false barriers to your success by shying away from any or all of these methods. Do your due diligence; stand in your truth; enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Affiliate marketing covers a multitude of areas. We will continue our exploration of this topic. We hope you’ll keep the coffee pot hot, pour another cup, and stay tuned!
