Affiliate Marketing Homepage

Question: I am creating my own affiliate marketing site and could use some pointers?

(Posted by: JeevelPorse on 2012-02-21 20:13:12)

I am starting an affiliate marketing site and need inexpensive ways to learn the following: - Professional site creation using Dreamweaver. (need more advanced tutorials, all the ones i find are for beginners. I already know the basics.) - Correct traffic direction. Everything associated. (SEO, Backlinks, content optimization, psychological advertising etc.) - Domain/ web- hosting (whats the best or is there a better option?) Anything else anybody wants to add or any advice that you feel I should know would be much appreciated. I'm determined to make this happen no matter what. Please don't post your programs or software you're selling for affiliate marketing, I know how these questions usually go. If anything give me a list of programs that work very well (preferably under $80 as I do have a rather limited budget at the moment). Very much appreciated.

There are some bargain tutorials in the WSO section of Warriorforum.com, some good, some written by members one step ahead of you. Lynda.com has a lot of computer training videos at a reasonable monthly charge, they have some site building and seo courses. If you search you can find someone offering a kickback of some of their affiliate payment on Market Samurai, giving you a final cost of $68, it's OK for domain name finding, competition research and backlink finding, it's not a robot spammer. A basic on site SEO guide book from Google google.com/ webmasters/ docs/ search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf A compilation of IM resources mad a couple of years ago, their blog has some dizzying talk about advanced SEO topics, the whiteboard Fridays videos are good. seomoz.org/ dp/ the-internet-marketing-handbook

About the website creation- You can use Wordpress for this. It is most easy and effective too. Domain/ Hosting- As far as the domain registration is concerned you can choose any website (Namecheap, Godaddy and there are many other). For hosting I will suggest Hostgator (If you search you will get discount coupon also. Digitalpoint forum can be useful) Now the main concern i.e. traffic generation for the website. It is considered the most important job. Because if you don't have decent traffic to your website; the purpose of the website will not be served accordingly. For cheap traffic generation I will suggest you to utilize the social networks to the maximum extent. For example you can create Facebook page, Twitter profile , Google+ profile and so on. If you have a strong presence in these networks, you will surely get considerable amount of traffic to your website.

For website creation I recommend you WordPress. 80% of affiliate marketers are using it. Search the internet for free themes. For traffic sources: SEO, article marketing, social media, guest blogging, blog commenting, related forums, bookmarking, PPC... For domains you can pick any registrar, you cant go wrong (look for cheaper). Hosting is very important and you will want reliable one. I recommend you HostGator. They guarantee you 99.9% uptime. CMSs like WP, Joomla and other can be installed with 1 click. You can use these coupon codes to save money: 1CENT2012HG - get 1st month for 1 cent; 25LESSIN2012 - get 25% discount. For email marketing most affiliates use AWeber. You can get 1st month for $1 (monthly fee is $19). If you are tight on budget you can go with Imnica mail. It is free until you get 1000 subscribers. I recommend you to start with manual backlinking and later you can outsource it on Fiverr. There you can get stuff done for $5. For keyword research you can TrafficTravis (free version). Sign up for GoogleAnalytics.
