Affiliate Marketing – Part 1-3 – Start making money with me this year

joe.whyte — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 20:05:58 +0000

I have been doing a series of blog post’s on affiliate marketing over at lunarpages. I got the itch to do them right before affiliate summit west and I have been continuing to do them to help not only the lunarpages affiliates but any reader of our blog to really get a grasp on how to be succesful with affiliate marketing. I have seen way to many people just sign up via CJ and put up a link and get nothing from it. It takes some skill, determination and some effort and I have been giving some advice on how to be succesful in affiliate marketing.

I wanted this blog series to go from inception to fully operating mega massive affiliate monster beast. The topics for each post have been as follows:

My first post was Affiliate Marketing – Part 1 – Why the heck are you not doing this.
I talk about what affiliate marketing is, how lucrative the business can be, I created a simple and essential Affilate Startup Kit and gave an outline for future posts.

My Second post was a bit more in depth and was titled Affiliate Marketing – Part 2 – Your path to becoming a super affiliate.
I spoke one on one with Jeremy Schoemaker and balanced his comments with how to pick the right affiliate, How to setup the right affiliate marketing strategy, How to start generating some sales and monetizing your site even more.

My third post was a very detailed post titled Affiliate Marketing – Part 3 – Driving Traffic and Testing your PPC campaign.
In this blog post I spoke candidly about what avenue’s to venture on besides SEO to gain traffic, Link Baiting, Optimizing landing pages and picking keywords for PPC campaigns and how to test them to make your campaign a success.

Granted these have not been a step by step guide (although that is in the works) but rather a series of instructions pointing my viewers, readers and clients in the right direction from my own experience and that of leading experts in the field.

I will be starting a research test within the next couple months lining out a specific guide and visible test for all my viewers so they can see a site from birth to super gigantic affiliate monster beast.

Stay tuned!

Affiliate Summit West – 2007 Roundup

joe.whyte — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:11:59 +0000

I woke up around 8:00 on sunday morning to go to vegas for affiliate summit west 2007. I made the mistake of wearing shorts to vegas which was a shocking 30 degrees with a wind chill factor of a billion! We rolled in like a true crew ready for the summit, drinks and gambling. We immediatly registered and networked for a while and meet some interesting people. Greg and Brian from BOTW, Brandy from webmaster radio, Andrew Wee, Andrea Schoemaker, Jeremy Schoemaker, some people from pay per post and many many other top affiliates and contacts.

One of the best parts of affiliate summit was the Q&A super affiliate panel. You can see the questions and answer over at conversation rater and pay close attention to web hosting questions as me and amy put forth a pretty big amount of the classes questions.

My general take on affiliate summit
One problem I think needs some serious attention concerning affiliate summit is the knowledge base and notablility of each speaker and also making sure each session comes off without a hitch as we ran into some. OVER-ALL I took away something from each class and contact I made at affiliate summit.

Check out Lunarpages web hosting blog to see more info on our trip and photos of the event. We have some funny quotes, photoshopped pics and much more!!
