How To Get A Free SSL Certificate With Cloudflare


I'm definitely no expert when it comes to techy things like SSL certificates.
But, I do understand that by having an SSL certificate installed on your website, it does protect the data of your visitors a little more than if you had an unsecured site (non-HTTPS).
That's why you see most brands and companies have HTTPS in front of their domain name instead of HTTP.
Having an SSL certificate is pretty much essential if you're selling anything on a website, and even non-techy people can be scared away if you're asking for payment on your site and you don't have an HTTPS URL.
Now, when SSL certificates started to become more mainstream I avoided them for a long time.
Honestly it was because I didn't truly understand them...
And also they weren't cheap.
But then services like Cloudflare popped up, and since they offer the option of a FREE SSL certificate, it's kind of silly not to take advantage of it.
The other benefit of making your site HTTPS is that it's been said that Google favors these domains over ones that are non-http, which helps your site with ranking and SEO.
I'm not sure if this is 100% true, but it certainly makes sense.
So, How Do You Get Your FREE SSL Certificate From Cloudflare?
It's actually really simple and only takes a few minutes.

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...
