Project of the Month:
Yes, it is possible to use one simple web published article to make 'free' money with affiliate links.
All you need is:
- A word processing tool such as MS Word (for a good, free tool use "Open Office").
- Basic writing skills
- Access to an affiliate program & product links.
- An approved TOS for that affiliate program that allow links embedded in articles for free distribution on the web.
The Steps:
- Find a good affiliate program and join it.
- Join 'Ezine articles' and/or other similar article directories. These directories will be the basis for traffic generation in this project.
- Write an informative article about the niche your affiliate program is based in. I strongly suggest you have first hand knowledge of the product's features. (Note: The article does NOT need to be very long, just useful). If you are promoting a "Viral Marketing" e-book, your article could have a few good tips that explain the subject. Then conclude the article with 'Your' affiliate link to the e-book sales page and some text explaining what the e-book is about, and how it relates to the article.
- Insert your affiliate links into your article. Do NOT spam, abuse or overuse affiliate links. You want users to take your QUALITY article with good information and use it on their site. Now you not only have your affiliate links on 'Ezine articles', but other websites will post them as well. Think Viral Marketing!
- Submit your new article to the article directories and watch the traffic grow!
The goal is for other people to use your high quality articles on their site. Now your affiliate links are spread around at no cost to you! You don't even need to pay for AdWords, Web hosting or a Domain Name! How much better can this get?
