Why helllo Mister 1st Post in the Affiliate Marketing Section.
Welcome to Wicked Fire. I'm sure you'll get warm hugs pretty soon. You don't mind if I offer my EPN tips?
1. Sign up with EPN. Then sign up with
Pepperjam. Sign up everywhere because those twits take forever to approve you. Be prepared to sign up again in case they suspend your account because your freakin' traffic isn't "engaging" enough for them.
2. Pick a product out from Ebay that costs more than $100. Don't pick counterfeit gear like Louis Vuitton or jewelry or any other saturated niche. Check your choice against Google sandbox so you can PPC at a reasonable price. Expect a 10% success rate in the beginning.
3. You will find your target keywords that convert through PPC. OR you can wait months and find them organically, or not at all.
4. Yeah, a domain with the trademark name of the product in the URL does wonders for your quality score. Most companies will not sic the lawyers on you for this (MOST).
5. Fantastico plus phpbay on your shared hosting. Oh, and pick a nice theme, why don't especially if you autoblog. Because when my blogs get pinged by an autoblog, first thing I look is the theme. If it's the standard crappy Wordpress default, then its welcome to Akimet.
6. If you can bring in converting traffic through PPC, who gives a shit about pagerank? Links through pingcrawl to get indexed are good though. I have found for most specialty niches, content is the key.
7. Make money? Uh really?
