There is a lot of advice around for anyone engaged in affiliatemarketing, but much of it is un-focused and lacks integration. We are told that we need original, focused, keyword-rich contentfor our website if it is to attract search engine "crawlers" andtargeted visitors. We are encouraged to update our affiliate marketing blogdaily because search engines love regularly updated, keyword-rich blogs. We are advised to create a regular (at least weekly), personalised ezine for our mailing list and to include articles aboutaffiliate marketing. We are admonished to send regular messages to our often-forgottendownlines in affiliate programs and traffic exchanges. We are told that writing original articles and submitting them toarticle directories is a desirable form of viral marketing foraffiliate marketers. We are urged to post to the forum of our affiliate program aswell as other forums associated with affiliate marketing. Who has the time to do all these affiliate marketing activities?Where are you going to find the time as a part-time affiliatemarketer? One possible solution is to leverage your writing - make onepiece of writing serve multiple purposes . So you have just created a post for your forum. Why not adaptthat post for your blog posting or create an article from thepost? You have written an article for your ezine, why not submitit to article directories and/or send it to your affiliateprogram downline? Even if your posting to the forum is not adequate for an article,you might use the title or core concept for an article. Youcould add the title to your "article ideas" repository -a spreadsheet, Notepad, word document or your mobile phone"to-do-list". Recently, I created an article for submission to articledirectories. I then added this article to my "emarketingarticles" blog (to gain subscribers to my ezine), included itin my weekly ezine, sent an abbreviated version to my downlinesin my affiliate programs and traffic programs and extracted somecontent for inclusion in a forum posting and a posting to my"affiliate programs" blog. If you start thinking in terms of leveraging your writing, youwill be surprised by what you can achieve from just one originalpiece of writing.
