How To Leverage The Power Of Quora For Affiliate Marketing


If you haven't heard of the site Quora, you're missing out.
It's kind of like Yahoo Answers v2.0...on steroids.
Quora is currently one of the top 100 websites in the world (according to Alexa), and is a platform where people can go to get their questions answered about anything they want to ask.
In addition to being a question and answer platform, Quora also gives you the ability to create your own blog, where you can share what you know with the world, have people follow you, and build your own audience and tribe.
So, in regards to affiliate marketing, Quora provides a tremendous opportunity.
Unlike a lot of other similar platforms in the past, Quora actually gives you the freedom to sprinkle in your affiliate links to the questions you answer.
Now, obviously you don't want to abuse this by spamming the site with nothing but your affiliate links, but this is a great way to help other people and share your knowledge, and in return get rewarded if people choose to take action on the advice and resources you share.
I like to think of the Internet as one massive ocean.
And every piece of content I create as a hook in the water.
So, naturally, the more hooks I have in the water, the more fish I'm going to catch over time.
With Quora, two of the easiest ways you have to create these "hooks" are to provide value by answering questions (and inserting your affiliate links to relevant products where appropriate).
Then, you also have the blogging platform - and you can create multiple blogs per account.
So, what I love about Quora, in regards to someone just getting started with learning how to make money online, is that it provides a platform that anyone can start to make money with, with nothing more than an Internet connection, and a little bit of discipline and consistency.
Just think, if you were to spend a little time each day answering a handful of questions or maybe sharing some of your knowledge and expertise, using their blogging platform, how much traffic and exposure you would start getting to your articles and answers over time.
So, if you don't already have a Quora account, I recommend you create one today.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means  optimizing your content  to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to  keyword stuff  and trying to maintain a certain  keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or  links from other high authority or relevant sites  pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is  Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click)  is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically,  direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily  Bing Ads  is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...

How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing

Years ago I was suckered into an  Amway  pitch... But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today. During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this... "Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket." So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing. Most products and services pay you in money. However, some reward you with credit toward their product. So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost. One example is a meal delivery service called  HelloFresh . I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscri...
