AffiliatesNeeded.Com What's New In Affiliate Marketing

The many hidden (and not so hidden) talents of our members have not gone unnoticed by the team here at Affilorama. We think that you’re all pretty special, and we’re lucky to have a supportive community where people are happy to help each other out.

So, we thought this is the perfect place for our members to make a bit of extra cash by lending a helping hand – AND the perfect place for our members to easily find services offering exactly what they’re after!

This is how our brand new corner of the forum was born – a place for our members to connect with each other to offer and find services. We’ve called it Affilorama Services.

What kind of services are we talking about?

Well,
this is an affiliate marketing website, so the services that are best offered here are those that can help out affiliate marketers, and
especially those relevant to our training products like
AffiloJetpack and AffiloBlueprint. Here are a few ideas to get the ball
rolling…

Writing services

• Are you specialized at writing in particular niches?
• Can you rewrite articles faster than you can read them?
• Do you have a knack for writing great sales copy or banner copy that converts?
• Maybe you’re a fast typist who can transcribe video and audio?

These will go down a treat with our AffiloBlueprint and AffiloJetpack members – offer your service now!

Design services

• Fancy yourself as a talented cartoonist?
• Or really good at making animated banners?
• Like to create eBook and 3D covers?
• Maybe you’re an all-round talented web designer who can offer the whole package?

Website creation services

We are very
excited to announce a brand new free
feature available to everyone on Affilorama that we know you’re going to love.
Introducing (drum roll please) … The YO Blog!

What is the YO Blog?

YO stands for ‘Your Opinion’ (and appropriately, it’s also a casual greeting). The YO Blog is
your chance to put yourself in the spotlight in front of your peers, and it’s
also a great place to get well-articulated advice and opinions from fellow
affiliate marketing friends.

It looks
exactly the same as our regular Affilorama Blog, with images and comment
functionality too.

Why the YO Blog makes you happy

• Are you someone who loves to
  share your knowledge or thoughts on something? Do you love using the power of
  words to get your point across? Well here’s a place where you can do exactly
  that, and get your post in front of a large readership.
• You can place a healthy ‘do
  follow’ link from your blog post back to your site. We will be linking directly to the
  latest YO Blog posts from our Affilorama homepage (that has a pagerank of 6!). That
  means fast indexing of your content, and a lot of link juice coming your way…
• This is your chance to build up
  your reputation as an authority figure among your peers. If you’ve got a
  product or service that’s of use to Affilorama members then here’s your chance
  to let them know you can be of even more assistance…
• If your blog post is of
  exceptional quality, we might even promote it to our regular blog – amplifying the rewards you get from the
  benefits listed in the previous points.

Why the YO Blog makes Affilorama happy

No prizes for
guessing that adding a new stream of frequently updated quality content helps
us in the SERPs, and it gives us more to offer to people like you, both of
which give us an increase in traffic. It’s a win/win situation

YO Blog fair play

We want to ensure
everyone gets the best experience out of the YO Blog, and this is why all blog
post submissions are reviewed by our staff before being published. Publication
is not guaranteed, so it would be a waste of your time if you send us a post
that links to a spam site, has irrelevant content, or is of a generally poor
quality. It must also be unique and not published elsewhere on the web.

There is no word restriction to the YO Blog, but remember this is not
the place for a novel nor a tweet.

How to submit a post on YO Blog

1. Click on
your Affilorama member profile at the top of your screen:

2. Click ‘Create a YO Post’ next to your member profile:

3. Click ‘Create New Post’

4. You’ll then
need to fill out the following details:

• Blog post
  title – Make this interesting and descriptive, and no longer than 250
  characters long. Titles are hugely important for getting users to read your
  post, so put some thought into this.
• Images – Ideally, images should be around 400×400 pixels (you must own the copyright on it or have paid for it)
• Tags – Add
  as many tags from our list to your blog post as you like (they must be relevant
  to your post of course!).

5. You’ll then
need to insert your post content using our WSYWIG editor.

6. Hit the ‘Save to Drafts’. You will then be given the option to submit the post or edit it until its just right

7. You’re
done! We’ll be in contact if we need further information, otherwise you’ll hear
from us when your post goes live

YO Blog topic ideas to get you started

If you take a
look to the right of this page, you’ll see a list of topics that represent all
of the subjects our past blog posts have been tagged under. This gives you an
idea of the kinds of things that are relevant to Affilorama members, and topics
that you can write about.

 Another good place to look is on our forum –
what questions and issues are people raising often?

Often the best
and most useful blog posts cover a very specific topic in-depth. If you begin
tackling a topic that is large in size, you can find it overwhelming and
difficult to cover in enough detail to make it useful for your readers. Pick a
topic and narrow it down to a very specific area.

Here are some
things to consider…

• What areas of affiliate
  marketing are you currently focusing on? Maybe you’ve been spending a lot of
  time link building lately and you’d like to share your experience on hiccups
  and successes you’ve had along the road, and tips for other users.
• Maybe you’ve even got a
  time-saving, simple or helpful plan that others could follow along with.
•  What’s news in the world of
  Affiliate Marketing? You might have a strong opinion on something that’s
  happened in the industry lately, or a new service that’s on offer and would
  like to warn members of the dangers, or alert them of the benefits.
• Consider yourself an expert?
  Maybe you’re a graphic designer and can teach people how to make cartoon
  images, or maybe you’re a social media expert and can give members the low-down
  on how best to use a service for affiliate marketing.
• Consider yourself a newbie? What
  about a journal-style entry of your progress so far? Tell us about your first
  sale, or how you finally figured out how to do ‘annoying and difficult thing
  X’, and how others can do the same.

Are you ready
to get started? The YO Blog isn’t going to be live for a few weeks yet, but we are accepting submissions now. See you on
the YO
Blog soon!

Hi Guys!
Just a very quick blog post to let you know that there was a massive earthquake in
Christchurch, New Zealand (where Affilorama’s head office is) and the city centre
is in a pretty bad way. It is currently on lock down and there is no power or access to our offices unfortunately.
We are all safe and well but ask you to please bare with us for the
next few days while we try and get everything back to normal. There may be some slight delays in us repsonding to questions on the forum and through our support center. Please accept our apologies in advanced.
Thank you to everyone that has sent messages of support, it has been much appreciated.
Regards,
Simon, Mark & The Affilorama Team
