A newbie affiliate page

The above was shamelessly copied from a post by Rob Toth in another thread.

Strategic laziness is a good thing: if you can't or don't want to do it yourself, pay someone else to do it for you. If you have no experience designing graphics or writing copy for the IM audience, you'll do more harm than good if you try to do it all yourself.

For instance, you can easily get a wicked banner done for under twenty bucks. How long would it take you to learn how to properly use Photoshop? Hours, I would imagine. And even then...lol.

This is so true. It will likely take longer to learn photoshop properly then for someone else to just make the graphics for you. And when you think of people paying thousands and thousands for sales copy, paying $20 for graphics seems like a bargain, and it is!

I would tend to agree with the others on this post. When in doubt, offer quality content versus trying to offer a lot of bells and whistles.

For me, it usually came down to a good email autoresponder series, good banners, exit pop code (if you decide to), and a few other things (but these are the biggest).

If you do this, you should be good to go. Always remember you can add more as you go along.

And, it never hurts to keep your eye on other launches to see what they are offering.

It depends how much time and money you have to invest in growing your affiliate business.

If you are starting from scratch with no money then you will have to invest in a lot of time to set up your production line of things to do:
nich hunting
keyword research
competition checking
choosing the right product to promote
building your site ( I would recommend a review type site built with wordpress) as you stand a better chance of getting higher rankings in google. Google does not like the squeeze page format.

create a 5 page blog with your main page a static page and 4 others using related keywords sourced from the google wonder wheel.

you then have to generate quality backlinks to your site and this will take time (if you have no money)

The quicker way is to employ someone to set up your blogs,write and spin your articles, Get backlinks.

There is software thet can get the links for you but the best ones cost quite a bit of money.

Bottom line is, learn the steps first and then automate it when you get some money.

Im a little confused and unclear? bear with me..so I just launched our site and product. There is an "affiliates" link at the bottom next to legal,disclaimer, etc. What do I put in that link??

I have affiliates marketing my product in CBK, but what else can I do to attract more affiliates or partner with someone?
