Blogging is the Ticket to Affiliate Marketing Simplicity
Posted by: Super Affiliate in Training in Blogging
Does this sound familiar?
“I have been planning and working on these damn sites for what seems like years, but it is just so hard to maintain them.“
This has been the story of my life for the past two years! Well, this weekend marked the beginning of simplicity and the end of complexity in my affiliate marketing business. I want to share my vision with you, so you can find an easier way to do affiliate marketing.
What has changed…you ask? Well, a couple of weeks ago, I made a mental jump and finally understood that it is much easier to blog from the heart, than design and assemble complex content articles. This has proven to be a huge shift towards natural simplicity and away from unwanted complexity.
Be Careful What You Scoff At…You May Embrace It Eventually
I used to scoff at blogs…saying is was just junk content and not very useful (or profitable). Well, I have “come to Jesus”…so to speak, and have found blogging to be pure delight in comparison to dry article writing. To top that, my posts are much more interesting and the search engines seem to love the Wordpress sites that I have put up.
In an industry where content is king, blogging about our areas of interest (for profit, of course) is the new and improved method of creating value and equity in our sites for the long haul. I still plan to submit free articles based on composites of my blog posts, but I have found my readers like the easily readable blog posts hands-down over stuffy factual articles.
Blogging Software is Easier to Maintain and Run
The other great fact that I have come to realize is that blogging softwares (like Wordpress) is much easier to use and maintain than content management software (like Joomla). Nothing against Joomla…it is a great product (I use it still for other sites) and I love it. The problem is that it can be a bit overkill for a basic site.
Having just migrated most of my sites off of Joomla to Wordpress Blogs, I can say that it is a relief to move to a simpler model. By the way, as usual, I want to plug Site5 Hosting, as they are the BEST! They have been of great help in moving all of my sites to the new server. For $5/month, the service is unbeatable.
The moral of the story is Keep it Simple and focus on building content equity in your sites with blogging. I think you will find it very enjoyable, which means it will be more profitable in the long run. See you out there!
