One more thing that I consider really important is - do not rely on one source of income or one type of affiliate program. Try promoting downloadable products as well as hard goods. Diversify your income streams. I also find it better (for me) to build a web site around the niche. I find it to be the most fair way of doing affiliate marketing. You can set up an ezine or an email course to get those email addresses. I found a great resource on this topic, I feel I have to share with you - an ebook called Make Your Content Presell. It explains in detail how to set up the website and how to write to build trust which is what you need to increase your income. Lynn, thank you for a great article.

Do some searches on Google for "wordpress static" - that should bring up some results. I have a hard time thinking that's an easier way though. If you need to edit something sitewide (such as details of a promotion or product) you have to locate & edit every page it's mentioned. With a traditional static site I can do "find & replace" or I can use SSI (server side includes). If there's a way to do that with WordPress, someone please clue me in ;) You can simply create pages in WordPress instead of posts.

My problem is how to turn Wordpress into a static site instead of doing it the hard way (hand coding everything or altering a static template.) Do you know of a good resource that is a quick walk through for using Wordpress this way? I'm not afraid to tweak the code, but many themes for Wordpress have ugly coding errors and I'd much prefer to keep my affiliate sites as fast loading, easy to navigate as possible. Been following your posts on Jimmy's report and like your insights. Hi Lynn,

Cos' it won't get any traffic. Unless you have a /blog to complement it so that you can add content to it. My method is the same as yours! Get em' in and get them out'. However, I also have an opt in page so that I don't lose any money on the table. Yes, after following up for a few emails, they bought it. :) Hey Lynn,

On most of my affiliate sites I dont put the price on my page. I put the product image, the description, and a link that says "click here for pricing & availability". That link is a direct link to the product page on the merchant's site which gives them the current price and other specifics. Good question, Wade.

It's hard to answer that question without specific details, but here are a couple of things to consider: - Every page of your website should be related to the general theme of that site. Don't create a general dot com and then promote something completely different on every page. To learn more about this look up "site theming seo" or "google site theme" on Google. - Google ranks PAGES, not sites. While the above holds true and you want a common theme throughout your domain, each individual web page on that domain can promote a specific product and have a specific call-to-action. - Create your site in the way that makes the most sense for your visitors. Try to get in the mind of the ideal visitor, the person who is most likely to buy X product, and imagine what would make their search/buy experience optimal.

There are so many ways to do any one thing. I suppose over the years I've tried it all: Adwords, email marketing, datafeeds, SEO, article marketing - you name it. In the end it's good to find a combination that works for you AND works well in your niche. It takes some trial & error for sure. That said, you can usually do a search on Google for very specific methods or questions and find the answer you need at the moment. A good in-depth training course is Opportunity.com and you can read my review here to see the lesson modules: http://www.clicknewz.com/1905/opportunity/ I know what you mean.

Your sessions give such valuable information. I really appreciate what you are doing with this series, especially the affiliate marketing part that you covered this week. I had recently decided on this as the business model that I want to use. Due to my son's graduation :-) I won't be able to listen live next Tues., so I hope you make the replay accessible again. Thanks for all you do. Hi Lynn,
