Hubpages - Content publishing for affiliate marketers

As an affiliate marketer trying to make money online from your home-based business, one of the toughest jobs for new affiliate marketers is finding ways to promote their products. Whether it is a landing page product, like a web hosting plan, a physical product referral, like an Amazon affiliate link, or identity promotion, like your affiliate marketing web site, finding places to get the word out, and get backlinks can be a daunting job.

One way is content publishing. This is the creation of articles that will contain links to your products. They can be product reviews, how-to's, or just essay type articles, but the purpose is to provide value to the article reader and at the same time you are providing links to make you some affiliate money. The most used methods are email lists and blogging, but another method, very similar to blogging is publishing content articles.

Pick your Product Niche - David Bailey's Plan

Affiliate marketing plans that show you how to make money online are all over the internet. Niche products to write content, find new promotion channels, use the social networks, submit articles, and drive traffic to your promo pages range from the very good to the very bad. Unfortunately there are a lot more in the very bad category than there are very good ones.

As an affiliate marketer I live or die by my credibility, so I don't want to promote any of the "trash" programs that for only $97.00 or $67.00 or some other amount ending in 7, (soneone actually did studies on this), they promise to make you part of the internet millionaire's club making tens of thousands of dollars per week. You've seen these landing pages. So I was a little surprised when I stumbled on David Bailey's product page. It wasn't "glitzy" and his price was only $29.00! That got my interest. Not only that, but he seemed like a humble guy in his videos.

But, (probably just like you), I'm tired of spending my money on programs that turn out to be just a rehash of all the other online material. Been there, done that.
