subject: Dump Wordpress [print this page] Author: Charles Lamm Author: Charles Lamm
Wordpress promised to make affiliate marketing better. To a certain extent, it has. Instead of the original smooth, strong tool it is morphing into bloat ware with thousands of plugins, themes, and settings. To promote affiliate product reviews and build up my online business business, I was compelled to convert to Affiliate Genie.
And I'm glad I did.
For some time, Chris Rempel has devoted his efforts to turning affiliate marketing from a crap shoot into a science. His method in a nutshell is this:
* find key phrases in niche markets that appeal to desperate buyers' who are prepared to purchase* post reviews for the affiliate items that fulfill those buyers' wants
use organic search engine optimization(SEO) to list high in the search engine results pages(SERPs)
* get those desperate eyeballs on your review when those purchasers have their credit cards in hand* help the customer fix the problem
CR's main theory is that you don't want your web page to display up early in the buying cycle when people are gathering info, but instead, at the end of the cycle when they're determining which widget is right for them.
A Dozen Decent Reasons to Slap Wordpress and Shift All of Your Affiliate Marketing to Affiliate Genie.
1. Keeps your eye on the prize. Affiliate Genie has everything you'll want to structure a good product review or conventional article- and nothing extra. All the elements you require such as title, affiliate link, product description, product research, star rating system, key phrases, and page description are in the fill in template. You are not able to save a review if any of the components are missing.
2. Disclaimers built into your template. The Federal Trade Commission has new regulations regarding what an affiliate marketer or blogger must perform to steer clear of fines and other civil penalties. Lite versions are incorporated along with pages where you can publish your own, extensive privacy policy and legal disclaimers.
3. Build your pages right on the site. No FTP needed, except to upload the files to your domain or subdomain.
4. TinyMCE. Simple to create pages using popular TinyMCE(Tiny Moxiecode Content Editor- platform- independent web- based JavaScript/HTML WYSIWYG editor) .
5. Active ability of PHP without the risks of MySQL. No database to corrupt.
6. A single click backup. Affiliate Genie enables you to back up your entire web site with one click. AG creates a zip file that you can download to any computer.
7. Mobility. If you need to move a site, take your backup, unzip it, then upload to your different domain. You are able to move a large site in under 5 minutes, including backups. This is particularly convenient if someone purchases your domain.
8. Promo Link. At the top of every web page, you've got the option of including a special promo. Should you find a hot affiliate program, you change one file, and you are now promoting a sizzling product across ALL of your web pages without being required to edit the template.
9. Social Media. Built into the system are 20 plus social bookmarking and social networking links making marketing a snap.
10. Stable. Wordpress is frequently being updated. New functions are added that may render your favorite plugins useless. AG is based on solid HTML that functions everywhere.
11. Performance over beauty. Even though you can change the native CSS files to modify colors and fonts, you don't have to. No one uses the default WP theme anymore, unless they are totally lazy. Do not spend your time developing or hunting down a new theme. Pages load faster without all the add- ons.
12. No distractions. The whole purpose of an online business website is making money. Find a niche community of buyers. Offer them the solution to their problems at the right time. Let someone else show them the bells and whistles.
If you have experience not making money with your Wordpress blogs, you owe it to yourself to try Affiliate Genie for yourself. You can kick yourself later.About the Author:
