Affiliate Marketing - How Can You Promote Your Products for Free? by Connie McKenzie
Making money online isn't difficult, but it is when you are just starting out and do not have the budget that is required to get traffic to your website or promote your product. There is an easier way, you can promote your products for free. How?
First you are going to have to do a quick search online to find the following free tools:
- a free keyword research tool- a free clickbank account- a free text editor- a free blogger account (optional)
1. Keyword Research:
With the keyword research tool you will want to search for keywords that have low competition. The keywords that you choose should have at least 300 searches a month and when entered between quotation marks, should have no more than 5000 competing pages in Google. You should find at least 5 or 10 keywords that are related to your topic of choice.
You will want to focus on keywords that will get first page ranking at Yahoo, Google and MSN.
Here's a little hint: Not sure what people want to know about, start by checking the more popular phrases like: get rid of, how to, tips, purchase etc.
2. Find a Digital Product to Promote
At Clickbank.com you can find just about any product that is related to your topic. Your best bet is to choose one that pays a 40%-50% commission. Get your affiliate link; write it down somewhere or save it to your computer.
3. Article Writing
Write an article of approximately 400 words that is informative and focuses on your keywords. Be sure that your main keyword is in the title, first and last paragraph and sprinkled throughout your article. You should throw in a few more keywords that are related to your topic in order to help you rank well.
More importantly, write your bio box to make people want to learn more and click on your link.
4. Set up your blog (optional)
Many directories will not allow you to put your affiliate link into your bio box. For this reason you will want to create a blog for your landing page. You can get one at blogger.com, it is free. You will want to presell your product on your blog so that people will click on your affiliate link. It is then the job of the sales page to sell the product, not you.
5. Submit your article to article directories
Submit your articles to directories that have a PR of 5 or more. Google likes these ones the most and they can help to get you a first page ranking and in turn drive loads of free traffic to your blog.
The most powerful article directory online is Ezinearticles.com, however they do not allow affiliate links so you will require a website or blog which will then redirect to your affiliate link. Goarticles.com has great PR and does allow you to link directly to your merchants website. There are many other directories but these just happen to be my favorite.
6. Rinse and Repeat
Article marketing is a numbers game. It would only make sense that the more articles you write and submit the more money you will make. But you must keep in mind that every product is not going to be a winner. Some will not do as well as others. So each week or two, test a new product and submit 5 to 10 focused articles.
That's it, there is no more to it than that. There is a way to promote your products for free and it really does work. Of course it is going to take some time for the money to start rolling in, like maybe 2-3 weeks. Once you write a few good money making articles they will bring in a residual income for months maybe even years - without costing you a single penny.
