How Much Money Can I Make Out Of Affiliate Marketing?

Ok. I have been fielding some more newbie affiliate marketing questions today.

What an open ended question it is. One person may make £10 a month, one may make £10,000 a month working in the same sector.

In attempt to answer the question, or have potential affiliates put some thought into the actual questions they should be asking I have created this simple tool, just tell it the sector you are working in, your daily site traffic - expected conversions (this can baffle people, and I cannot readily answer) and it will tell you how much you can expect to turn over a month.

The earnings data has been collected from a reliable source and there has been a fair bit of averaging, so I am hoping that the figures look reasonable.

I would love feedback on this - so let me know.

SEO For Beginners

I have been asked by a number of different people about SEO in the last 2 days. Yes they wanted free consultation. This is the problem with the internet everyone expects things for free now a days

It is a fluid and dynamic landscape.  Search Engine Optimisation is not an exact science, though there is alot of real research done in this area. 5 years ago if you asked someone about SEO they would start talking about meta tags and maybe keyword densities. Consultation (if you are willing to pay for it) may be right for you as SEO consultants can look at your site and break down what needs to be changed.

If you are a do it yourself kid and want to get your hands dirty. There are a lot of seo e-books out there - but now even Aaron Wall has gone to providing SEO training instead of his SEO book.

Ok so if someone wants FREE seo advice - Check out Aaron Walls / seobook video pages for free SEO video tutorials and free SEO tools.

If you have the budget and wish to become a SEO expert I strongly suggest you sign up for the SEO Book training course - full details here

Is yours Fat with a Long Tail?

stbernard.jpg

Nah - not talking about your pet pooch, but your website.

There has been alot of talk of ‘Thin Affiliate Websites’ and ‘Long Tail’ in affiliate marketing circles. Not sure what it is all about, then read on.

I best start by defining a ‘thin’ affiliate website.

A thin affiliate website is an affiliate sites that has absolutely no value other than to make money for the affiliate. They have no value to the user and no value to the merchant  - I could cite product feed sites, discount sites and cashback sites. But each of these can have it’s value - but at the same time their are hundreds if not thousands of thin affiliate sites in these categories.

Read this and you will get a better idea

How your site can put on weight?

Content or a very useful tool. Something that will keep the visitors coming back to your site. Yes use APIs and product feeds, but the big thing is what ever application you create make sure that it is both novel and useful to the members.

Ok so on to the ‘Long Tail’ thing.

Keith Bond stated this very well in his recient blog post Wagging The Long Tail For Blogging Ideas.

Basically look beyond the names of merchants, brands, trademarks and product names and try and develop diverse content for your niche, it is all about content at the end of the day.

For example if you are going to use affilistore (a powerful, free product feed tool) continually add content using the inbuilt CMS. So if you set up an affilistore using the PremierCookware (AffiliateWindow) feed, add recipes, discussion of celebrity chefs, cooking tehniques, discussion of supermarkets, ethical / organic foods and so on and so forth.
