Jon's Wicked Fire Affiliate Forum has taken off like a wicked wild fire! The forum has officially surpassed the 1,000 member mark in only three weeks time. That's freakin' incredible! Kudos Jon!!!
Why is this happening?
Well, there are a lot of struggling affiliates out there who need the sage advice of some one like Jon, plus there are a lot of us affiliates who are sick of the same old voices and the marketing companies tell us how we should be doing our business. Jon's forum is a breath of fresh affiliate air.
Jon plugs some of the notables in his recent blog post, but Jon if you read this … honestly, those same voices are heard in all the other forums … you have an incredible opportunity to create new voices … and frankly, that would be a real blessing. Perhaps then so many newbies wouldn't be struggling so hard to get into the business sucessfully.
In case you don't know who Jon is, he's a real super affiliate … he is the shit! And his comments and insights are well worth your time to read. He also works hard to keep his identity discrete, like so many real super affiliates do. It's nice to see them starting to step out into the light a little more. We should probably be thanking CJ for that little gift.
According to Jon, "People all over the place are plugging it [wickedfire.com] and calling it one of the best new forums around. Most people like it because of the laid back, no bullshit appeal. " And, that's exactly what's fueled this wicked fire of Jon's.
Personally, I'd love to see Jon get involved with the Affiliate Guild … we need more guys and gals like Jon stepping up to make the affiliate space one of strength and distinction. And frankly Jon, we'd freakin' give you a classroom to teach in!
Holy smoke! This SENuke software is a real mind blower … and frankly it's about time we had a new product to help with Search Engine placement … and SO effectively too!
Get yourself signed up for a free trial. They'll give you a free ebook that describes some SEO techniques you can use with or without their software.
There's no commitment. You can test drive their software, if you like it, then there are two levels to chose from. But the serious affiliate marketing promoter should focus on the Pro version of SENuke. That one's wicke hot!
This video from DiamondSEO does a nice job of summing up the two methods of article marketing by affiliate marketing affiliates. Can you see the difference in where to publish your articles and why?
Every now and again, I get wind of a good promotional that's either fairly priced or absolutely free.
Today I got a phone call from my friend Ed who's going to be offering all newbie affiliates a totally free training for thirty days. Since I'm all about training and especially the free stuff like I have at the Affiliate Guild, I wanted to blog about this right away.
The training is called the 30 Day Challenge, and here's the skinny, right from his homepage:
"In a nutshell… The Thirty Day Challenge is about making your first $10 online. For a full 30 days we are going to be showing you exactly how to start your own Internet business and generate your first income online without spending a dime.
"That's right, this is going to cost zip, diddly, nothing, nada, ziltch. The entire training program is free, and you won't have to spend a thing to get your business started and begin making money. No credit card required."
Actually, I signed up for it too, and I'm not a newbie as you know. So, there's no hard and fast rule that it's just for newbies, but it is designed to teach the basics from what I understand. I'm really looking forward to this training. It will be interesting to see how it compares to James Martell's Affiliate Marketing Bootcamp training.
The training starts August 1st! So, don't delay in reserving your spot. I think space is limited, but I didn't ask by how many. I do know the training is going to use a lot of videos, so that's good because it means it's more flexiblity with your time schedule.
So, if you want the free training go to Ed's website, sign up, get into his forums and read his blog. Reserve your spot in his free class before it fills up!
Jude Wright might be on of the most unorganized affiliate marketers, but not anymore. Jude's been working in Internet Marketing for a lot of years. Don't worry Jude, I won't say how many!
As a basically unorganized person, Jude admits, "I was losing everything! I needed a solution to help me find the information that I wrote on slips of paper, kept in notebooks and saved in emails. I wanted to find that information fast!"
An old hand at creating databases for the construction industry, Jude turned her attentions to making one for Internet Marketing too.
The result is a MUST have application for Affiliate Marketers called i-MarketingOrganizer.
The Version 1 software application is the result of Jude's real world experiences in Affiliate Internet Marketing, lots of research, and hard work. i-MarketingOrganizerworks beautifully!
Personally, I can't even begin to tell you how valuable a little application this is. Imagine having all your affiliate program account information at your fingertips 24/7 … imagine having all you passwords and usernames waiting for you on your desktop every time you need them … and most importantly, imagine finding any of them in seconds.
No more scraps of paper or notebooks filled with scribbles. Welcome to the enlightened age of Affiliate Marketing … welcome to the world of i-MarketingOrganizer.
Whether you're an affiliate just getting started and in need of an already built website, or you just need a good domain to get started and can build your own website, you're going to want to consider a big list of affiliate niche domains I've just posted for sale here on Affiliate Blogger.
I speak with newbie affiliates on a daily basis who are struggling to build their own websites on their own because of the costs associated with having them built. In fact, I spent a few hours yesterday helping an affiliate who is also a Marketing Specialist in the affiliate space, and needed help installing a WordPress blog. You know who you are *grin* … and that's what helped me to realize that newbies to coding need a little more help.
So, while I'm only listing the domains I have for sale, if you need a website or blog built and hosted … I'm open to negotiating that with you. Many of these domains I have up for sale have old websites and affiliate programs that I used in the past. Almost all of these domains have Internet history, meaning it won't be that hard to get the search engines to look at them when you give them a facelift.
If you see a domain you want, make your best offer the first time! I can't stress that enough. I hate haggling. I own a Saturn car … 'nough said.
Is there another of my domains that you're more interested in buying? I'm always open to offers. In my world, everything is for sale if the price is right. Best offer always wins!
Affiliate Blogger posts and articles are all over the Internet as resources and helpful tips for the success of other affiliates, but this blog … my Affiliate Blogger blog … is my home-base where I bring all those tools and tips together in one place.
I also have the Affiliate Guild, where I offer a ton of educational materials for new affiliates and tools to make the process easier. A lot of those tools are totally free, as are most of the affiliate classrooms and materials.
My personal goal is to help others get started in Affiliate Marketing, and not have to learn the hard way like I did.
Things are much easier these days, and then again with all the changes in technologies happening so freaking fast … maybe in some ways it's harder. That's why I take the time to create thoughtful posts as the Affiliate Blogger … to try and help you stay up with the trends of Internet Marketing.
One of the biggest trends is the movement towards more use of video, and especially interactive video. I've found an awesome tool for you and gotten a great reduction in the pricing to offer as well. It's not free, but it's close to it.
The tool is called Screen Show Pro and it's an inexpensive screen capture tool similar to Camista. Only difference is that Camista will cost you $299 and Screen Show Pro will cost you $29 … this is a keeper!
I'm using Screen Show Pro to build my interactive videos for my various Internet businesses. I'm liking it a lot!
After I made my videos, I joined the new interactive video community sitecalled FreeIQ. It's free to join and gives both a venue to distribute your videos, as well as your products, services and affiliate links.
FreeIQ is full of helpful and informative educational materials and products … many of which are for free.
Visit my FreeIQ website … http://freeiq.com/bobbiegrennier to learn more about all of this because the Internet is quickly moving towards a video rich world and you need to be a part of it to be successful.
No longer is content king. Now it's all about entertainment and video education.
I met Marc Chase in a affilaite focused forum. He's an Affiliate Manager trying to fire up a new affiliate program for MyCreditGroup.
Marc's got some strikes against him, as he's got a spanking new affiliate program in a niche that's flooded and really hard to rank in.
Marc's Affiliate Program is in the Finance niche with a focus on Credit Repair, Debt Settlement and Mortgages. It's one of the toughest to break into, and most expensive to participate in.
I know this niche very well as I used to own a business that generated leads for Merchants as large as Bank of America. I used to earn upwards of $50 per lead. That's per lead, not per sale. Money was good way back then, but not anymore if you're new to the game.
So, when I saw Marc's post announcing his offering to the affiliates … I saw some really good things and I saw a few things that could be better.
Marc's post read something like this…
We've put a lot of effort into building a flawless reputation before launching our affili
