Start Affiliate Blog - Step by step and COOL Tools

[Linda Buquet]

Discover new tips and tools for using blogs to generate affiliate marketing revenue in this dynamic, short, easy video. Even if you are somewhat of a pro I guarantee you'll get resources you didn't know about. You know I "LIVE" affiliate marketing and blogging and I learned a couple new tricks. If you are a newbie this video will show you step by step exactly what to do.

Below I'll give you direct links to some of the FREE tools used in this video so you can put this info into action right away! Ross Goldberg owner of DiamondSeo did the video.

NOTE: The video starts off by setting up a free blogger account, which if you are a N00B is a good way to go. If you are mid level or pro, I recommend Wordpress on your own domain, but everything Ross teaches can be used either way. I'm also not a big CB fan, but as he mentions, you could use these tool and techniques for any type of affiliate programs.

VERY COOL NEW TIP - Didn't know about this one. Submit'em Now FREE FireFox extension. Submits your blog to 113 blog directories and rss directories. To install click the link for the Submit'em Now (Build 11.10.06).

ClickBank RSS FEED GENERATOR. NOTE: this tool will also let you pull RSS feeds from Amazon and Ebay and does lots of other cool things too. WARNING - I have no reason to suspect the person giving this tool away for FREE is dishonest. However I would ALWAYS be very careful about any free service where you have to enter your affiliate ID online. Again it may be just fine, but we all know how easily CB links can be changed, so just double check your feed output to be sure all the links are using your ID.

Ross also uses Squidoo, as a tool to drive traffic back to his blog.

Another tool Ross mentions is Pingoat, for pinging your blog after every new blog entry you write. I use Pingoat a lot because it pings more services than Pingomatic and is much faster than pingo.

Happy blogging and happy selling!

Thanks Linda, I will start to submit my blogs to directories now. It's on my to do list for months.

You're welcome guys. Go GET 'em!

Linda, if you didn't, I suggest you to get the authority black book. It is an excellent read,I'd rather say you need to read it really.

It's from Jack Humphrey. I blogged about it. I will be definitively using the techniques in the ebook.

I realized that I really like blogging (I started to blog just to drive traffic to my site), but now Wordpress, Joomla and CMS are becoming the big players over static html sites.

People love them and SE love them. It's a win win situation.

How can I have my autoresponer account automatically send my list an email every tme I update a blog or page like that?

Thanks.

There are some useful tips there and I'll add another link (not an affiliate one) for those who like the idea of a Clickbank feed but either can't afford or don't want to pay for the service. (This won't serve Amazon or Ebay) You'll have to give up an email address but that's it.

It takes a few seconds to grab your chosen feeds by category and keywords if you choose.

Simple, free and it works.

If you use Wordpress, then all you have to do is import your subscribers list into it. They will get an email each time you publish a new post.

HI Simonne,

Cute kitty!

Really? I've had Wordpress forever and I didn't know you could do that.
I still have an older version. Is this something new?

Where do you do it? There's no place for subscribers in my admin.
I think you must be referring to a plug-in that does this?

[scorpion68a]

Hi Linda,

I'm glad you like my kitty.

Yes, I use a plugin, I should have mentioned that. It is called subscribe2 and you can get it from here: Subscribe2 Plugin
