So, what do you think the most important thing to start off with in affiliate marketing??

KEYWORDS – Get the keywords wrong and your stuffed.

I have to be honest I find keyword research one of the worst things to do but at the same time I know I have to do it and have to do it right.

Now I have my own free keyword research tool that helps,(I will upload it for you and post a link so you can download it at the bottom of this post) but the best at the moment has to be for me Google’s own external keyword tool.

So you’ve got your keywords,now what? For me, it is write some articles you will find that I do talk about article marketing quite a lot and the reason for that is it is something everyone can do as it is free and it works.

Even if you hate writing (or don’t think you can) you can do this. I hate writing article but I still get it done.

There are tips and even cheats you find out on the learning curve that can help you out, one of the hardest things is getting started then it just flows from there.

You need to plan what your going to write before you sit down at a blank screen.

1. Title – This can always be change later but must include your keywords.

2. Intro – Tell them what your going to tell them

3. Content – Tell them

4. Sum up – Tell them what you told them

How easy is that?

If you want to get a lot of views then you can’t just submit your articles to the high PR site and hope for the best, what you need to do is take your article page link then take that onto the bookmarking sites.

Instead of just submitting to say the 5 best article submission sites you then bookmark your article links at 10 bookmarking site and if you have chosen well with your keywords you will be hitting the first page in google in no time.

Good bookmarking sites

1. Digg

2. Feed Age

3. Propeller

4. Reddit

5. Furl

6. Stumbleupon

7. Mixx

8. Clipmarks

9. Oyax

10. Twitter

I could go on but you get the picture. Feel free to and other that you feel are good in the comments and I hope this helps you a bit.

Take it easy
