If you look top right on my blog you’ll see something new there.

I am doing my best to be in FTC compliance. So I asked my graphic designer to create a small graphic that says:

Compensated Affiliate
If you purchase an endorsed product on this site I will be paid a commission. I only endorse products that I personally use or have used.

What steps are you taking to make sure your website is in compliance with the new FTC guidelines?

If you want this graphic for your site–just right click and “save image as” to add to your blog or website.

I get a lot of questions about how to market affiliate products. Those who know me know that I do not like banner ads. Does anybody ever click on them?

I know I don’t. Now some folks may argue but I would much rather read a great post about a particular product wrapped around a review than have a bunch of banner’s in my face.

When I talk to newbies about how to market affiliate products I tell them about a simple process that brings results.

Now I did NOT create this process…but my buddy Rob did.

I will tell you that it involves using USFreeads and your affiliate products. Step-by-Step and it’s only $7

Take a look…I love this ebook

Listen this isn’t for the advanced marketer. It’s for those of you who are looking for a simple, simple way to generate some affiliate money.

O.K. what is all the buzz about CPA offers. Most of us have heard about the Arbitrage report right? And for the most part the newbie will get eaten alive with the costs involved in setting up your sites and campaigns. What is the alternative?

Set up a “niche” blog. It doesn’t matter the niche. Then look at some of the sites you can get CPA offers to start generating a few dollars to your marketing budget. Don’t feel as though you have to start out with $1,000′s of dollars.

Step 1 Sign up for a hosting account–I use Hostgator

Step 2 Load wordpress to your site

Step 3 Research your “niche”

Step 4 Drive traffic to your site with LinkConnector Affiliate Programs!

When you get started for free with LinkConnector you can then go out and find products/websites to drive traffic to through your blog posts; and when you do you get paid. That’s right they pay you to drive traffic to their information.

You might ask is it really that simple? I’ll let ya know for sure. My goal for 2009 is to have 100 “niche” blog sites. Will I make that goal? Don’t know but I’m sure going to have fun trying.
