subject: 3 Powerful Article Marketing Strategies For Making Money With Affiliate Marketing [print this page] In my two years as an internet marketer, you can bet that I've tried just about every single method there is to promote and sell Clickbank products. There are literally dozens of ways to do this, but none more effective than article marketing.
Many people agree that there is one better way, and that's email marketing. I'd be willing to go along with that statement, except that email marketing is pretty much useless without articles. The point is that you need to write and submit articles if you want to build a large list of targeted email leads. Basically, article marketing and email marketing go hand in hand.
So how do you make money with articles and Clickbank? Well, there are three major strategies that experienced marketers employ. They are:
1. Direct Linking
- This is when an article writer will submit an article to several directories and link directly to a Clickbank sales page. In my opinion, this is the least effective of the three. The reason is that the writer hasn't really taken the time to develop a relationship with the reader. The reader can sometimes believe that the writer is just trying to make a quick sale. However, this method can and will make you money online.
2. Blog Linking
- This is when the writer will link his/her article to a content site like a blog. The strategy here is to gain the trust of the reader by giving them some great information. If the reader perceives the writer as an expert in that particular field, they will be more apt to follow their product recommendations. This is the second most successful article marketing strategy. Many affiliate marketers will set up a blog that reviews many different niche related Clickbank products. These blogs can be highly effective in converting article traffic to sales.
3. Squeeze Page Linking
- In this case, the article writer links to a squeeze, or lead capture page. A squeeze page is a simple one-page website that's main focus is to capture email addresses and add them to the marketer's email list. Once the lead is added to the marketer's list, they can then develop a relationship with the subscriber and market Clickbank products to them over and over. This is definitely the best way to utilize article marketing to make money with Clickbank.
The above are the three best ways to use article marketing to make affiliate commissions. In order to be successful with any of them, you need to write and submit as many articles as you possibly can. Article marketing is very competitive, and the marketer with the most articles will usually get the most sales.
