This is an snip-it from one of my weekly network newsletters. I'll post it here, it's helped so many of our affiliates. I thought this might help some of the newbies, or more experienced affiliates in need of some fresh ideas. Enjoy! ...First things first. Find a niche that you can create content around (i.e., game guides/cheats, downloads, eBooks, music, lyrics, or headlines). Just think outside the box. I personally like to use Yahoo for my ideas. Once you have your niche, you can get organic traffic by promoting via Facebook (groups and fan pages), YouTube, or SEO. Monetize your content by locking it with our gateway widget. It is very important when building your widget that you explain how users can access your content. I like to put across the top, "Access the special content by completing the (you feel in the blank) below". I further explain it in the description field, so that when they hover over your offer they have a call to action. People are impulsive, especially with "Head Line Content", those have been some of my highest converting offers when pushing organic traffic. Now, here's how I make this work. I spoke about Yahoo earlier, Yahoo is my greatest source for getting ideas to build my content around. Go to he Yahoo home page. Remember, these guys are the best in the business and have some of the smartest writers and top brains to develop their content for the web on staff. The first thing I do is check out what's trending in the top right "Trending Now". Today the top 10 are: 1. Reese Witherspoon 2. 2012 Doomsday 3. Jean-Claude Vandam 4. The Hangover 2 5. Free Checking 6. Iron Man 3 etc.. You get the idea. This is what people are searching for and are interested in. You can center your landers around those topics. I also create my content around Yahoo "Headlines". It's an endless supply of ideas, and content. Remember, Yahoo is still one of the most visited websites in the world ranking #4, according to Alexa. This is one of my secrets to getting content ideas. I have a list of several top websites that I used in College to help me develop content for research papers. I still use good ole Yahoo, today. Now, it's making me money. Let the big guys do the work for you... If you are interested in learning more techniques PM me, or email me.
