If you do not like to write or are uncomfortable writing content you may want to hire a Ghostwriter to create your content for you.  You can hire a ghostwriter using sites like Guru, Elance and Rentacoder.  Many marketers choose to use ghostwriters for content creation because it frees up their time to perform other tasks.

Ghostwriters can create content on a variety of topics.  They will perform the research around your topic and then write the media tyoe you requested.   You can hire ghostwriter to write  400 word articles for around $3-5 each.

Now be aware when hiring a ghostwriter because their writing ability varies widely.  You can get great material or very terribble material.

To avoid getting the terrible material it is imperative that you write a good project proposal that clearly identifies what you want and what your expectations are.

Here is an example of a posting I used to create several articles in the affiliate marketing niche.

I am looking for someone to write a series of articles on Affiliate Marketing. I will require 50-100 articles on various topics within the Affiliate Marketing Niche. Topic examples included affiliate marketing tactics, in’s and out’s of affiliate marketing, etc.

The articles will need to be at least 400 words in length.

The articles will need to have a great eye catching title.

The articles need to contain a resource box that will drive people to my affiliate training hub As you can see I was specific in what I wanted.  I received several writers bid on the project and I was able to have 100 articles written for $3.  These articles are of good quality and I have found a ghostwriter that I could continue to use for future projects.

See you in the next post…

Private Label Rights content is material that has been written by someone else and you can buy the rights to use this material in anyway the liscensing will allow.  You can buy articles, ebooks and reports and use them in almost any manner your see fit.  For example you can use the ebooks and create several articles from them.

Most times the content is in the form of text files or Word documents so that you can edit, modify, addd or delete the content to suite your needs.  Most PLR material will let you put your name and take credit for the work.

PLR packages are usually inexpensive and are fairly good content.

If you plan on using PLR content…only use it as a guideline.  Meaning take the content as a skeleton and put your own twist on it and make it your own.  Re-write at least 50% of the material so that it os not the same as any one else who decides to purchase the same PLR package as you.

Until next time…

To have success as an Affiliate Marketer you need to have good conversion rate for the products you are promoting.  The average marketer converts only .5 to 1% of the visitors to their site into customers.  That’s pretty discouraging!

Now to get better results you need to provide your readers with some really good content.  This can be articles and research.  You can even purchase the product, try it and write an honest review of the product. When you purchase the products this is also a business write off.  Your readers and customers will really appreciate your opinions and research.  They will trust you as you look like a “crap filter“, saving them from buying bad and useless products.  As you write your reviews you can insert your affiliate links so your readers can purchase the products you are reviewing.

Now the secret is great content and a lot of it.  Don’t worry…if your not a writer there are several ways to get great content.

  1. Create your own content
  2. Buy PLR (Private Label Rights) content
  3. Search public domain (copyright free) content
  4. Hire a ghostwriter
  5. Use other author’s content
  6. Re-tool your content

In the follow up post I will talk about each tactic to create your content.

To your succes,

How To Write Your Follow Up Email Series…Finale

Here is the final part of the series for writing your email follow up messages….Finally!

Now that you have started the relationship and warmed up your list by showing them some good quality information you can start adding emails that sell products directly to your list.  These emails will follow the same outline as your other emails but with a sales pitch.  Now with the direct sales email you are going to want a longer email that explains and highlights all of the benefits of purchasing your product.  You will also want to try and address any objections or concerns your customers may have in the email before they have an opportunity to even think about them.

Now when adding these direct sales emails to your follow up messages, keep the sales funnel theory on mind.  You will want to start with the lower priced products and work your way up through the products your are promoting to finish with the most expensive.  If you have many products you want to sell to your list youe should break up the direct Sell with some other free gifts and free to join sites or some other good content so your subscriber don’t just feel like they are being used.

Tip 1:  When promoting new launch products you may want to write an honest product review on your blog and then send your subscribers an email to read the review (remember the training phase…still continuing here).  Then add some follow up emails sending readers to your reviews.  You them look like a filter system for your readers…only sending them good prodict reviews and keeping bad products away.

Tip 2:  When deciding on products to sell to your list think about promoting products with recurring commissions.  This way your get paid over and over again for only selling the product once.

Ok…now that you have the general idea of writing you follow up series let keep going and put it all together.

When it comes to getting the most out of an online affiliate marketing program, then you need to know the four main secrets to maximizing your potential. Remember, this does not mean working harder, it means working smarter. When you know these secrets, you will be able to do a great deal more and achieve a lot more without having to spend more time, effort and money on the process than you were to begin with.

These four secrets are as follows:

1 – Choose a Good Quality Product – this means that you shouldn’t just pick your affiliate program based on the kind of commissions it offers (though that should indeed be a part of the consideration). You need to become familiar with your product and make sure that you will be marketing something that will allow you to maintain a good reputation with your target audience. Pick a product or niche that you are familiar with or are interested in. This way you will stay motivated and can pass along your own opinions to your visitors create a goo relationship. A good product will earn you a lot of money.

2 – Select a Product With a Strong History – you need to be able to gauge the success of your product if you want to market it properly. Therefore, you need to know that product’s history. Who was a part of its development? Have there been problems selling it in the past? Is it a newer version of a product that is already doing spectacularly well?

3 – Opt for a Program With a Strong Support System – no matter your product or program, you need to make sure that the merchant behind the program will support you throughout your efforts. If the company is not willing to provide you with assistance and options, such as graphic ads and banners, then you may want to look elsewhere.

4 – Stay Focused On Your End Goal – There is a lot of information available on affiliate marketing and this can be overwhelming. It is very easy for new affiliates to lose focus and become distracted by all of the information with no value to their new business. By not signing up for all of the mailing lists and offers available and staying with one reputable mentor or program to learn from you will be miles ahead of the competition.
