I have had a lot of success doing article writing for on my clickbank products. It's free and make you money daily. Everyone that is starting out in affiliate marketing I recommend that you get good at article writing and master it. At first I had a lot of set backs. Make the link enticing, and make the viewer really want to click on it. Also make your your title enticing too. If not no one will click on it and the result will be no sales.... Anyways bum marketers stick in there!!
I normally just exploit people's emotions as it relates to the niche or product. I don't have the highest CTR but I easily get 40 - 50% with a resource box that takes me about 30 seconds to create.
Just remember that your signature box doesn't have to be your 'signature box.' In other words, use the author/signature section as the closer. If you can throw credibility to the article by mentioning something about yourself, do so after closing the article with your link. At first, my signature box sounded soo boring and soooo typical. "Michael is a restaurant owner and internet marketer blah blah blah. To learn more about this program, click here." Now, (as BGirl mentioned) I look for the emotional pull that will entice the reader to click, click, click!
Yeah I agree I find myself only wanting to click through a link in the author box if the anchor text grabs my attention no use just putting read more here etc or I just usually ignore it you want to get curiosity building within the readers mind so that they want to click on the link for more.
Why don't you tell, how you do it here? So everyone can see. Or you want each person who wants to know that to PM you? Why? Is it some kind of *secret*? TOP SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL? Only PMs? Come on....
Hi, I just started with article marketing.. just want to ask, how many articles you publish to generate sales? I have published 6 articles to ezine but haven't generate sales yet..
When it comes to article marketing, make sure to research for long tail keywords. Then put them in the title and body so that they will be relevant.
Just don't do: To find out more about ... CLICK HERE - because really, no one will click... As mentioned above, use your signature box (author bio) as the last paragraph of your article with a call to action. Something like : Thousands of people used This-Service.com. Blah Blah blah... Just something more related to your niche
