Always Do This

I've been talking recently about affiliate marketing as being a good way to earn money from your writing.

Selling your own books is even better.

But however you choose to earn money as a writer, there's one thing that you must always be doing.

And that is growing your email list.

Having products to sell and plenty of online content to promote it is great.

But it won't help much if no-one sees it.

There are several ways you can promote your work, but the best way is through email.

Customers aren't going to seek you out.

It's you that has to stay in touch with them.

You need to let them know what you're selling and how it can help them.

And the bigger your list, the better.

So always be promoting yourself and your work to get more subscribers.

And then stay in touch with them often.

Send them lots of useful tips and information and give them links to all your promotional content.

Sent out emails every week, or preferably, every day.

Become the favourite person in their inbox.

The Guaranteed Way To Earn Money As An Affiliate Marketer

Making money as an affiliate marketer isn't difficult (it all depends on what you're promoting, how you're promoting it, and who you're promoting it to).

It can also be done for free.

All it takes is time.

Time to write up all your online content, your emails, and anything else you'll be writing and using to drive sales.

And there's also something else you have to do.

Or rather, it's something that you should NOT do.

This is the mistake that many writers make when they try and earn money as an affiliate marketer.

Doing this can almost guarantee to kill sales.

But not doing it is guaranteed to help you make sales.

So what is it that I'm talking about?

Trying to sell too many things at once.

Offering multiple products at once often confuses people.

And promoting too many things on your website looks cheap and "salesy."

Instead, I always find it better to just pick one product to sell, and then promote the hell out of it.

We're coming to the New Year now, so if you want to make more money as an affiliate marketer, see if you can make 2018 your highest earning year yet.

Make a plan and stick to it.

Earn Money Writing Short Articles

It's great to be able to earn money as a writer.

I've been doing it for the last 20 years.

But what if you can't (or don't want to) write books?

What if you just want to write short articles?

Is it possible to earn money this way?

The answer is a definite yes.

Short articles can be website content, blog posts or emails.

And it's possible to use all three of these to earn money from your writing even if you don't have a book of your own to sell.

You simply find other products to promote as an affiliate.

And done correctly, it can be extremely lucrative.

Just look at what Rosalind Gardner has achieved.

She's known as THE biggest Super Affiliate because she earned half a million dollars a year from her affiliate sales.

She also wrote The Super Affiliate Handbook (http://ruthiswriting.com/links/superaffiliate.html) to show others how she did it.

The "secret" though, is like I said before; it needs to be done correctly.

Most people think they'll get rich by putting up a few banners on their site, but it's much more than that.

And it starts with the content on your web pages needing to lead your readers to want to buy the products you're promoting.

But how do you find out more about how to earn money as an affiliate marketer?

You can start with a free affiliate forum like http://ruthiswriting.com/links/clickbanksuccessforum.html.

Or there's an ebook that I bought that was really useful (I read it several times and took copious notes), and it only cost a couple of dollars, called the Affiliate Trump Card. https://viewbook.at/affiliatetrumpcard.

Or try Rosalind Gardner's Super Affiliate Handbook http://ruthiswriting.com/links/superaffiliate.html.

Or try all of these.

And start making money writing short articles.

How I Started Making Money Online

I loved it when making money online from my writing became possible, because, before that, it was almost impossible.

The internet made it so easy - and so fast.

One of the ways I first started earning money online was with affiliate marketing through Click Bank.

(After a few years, I stopped marketing for them because they changed their Ts & Cs for affiliates and actually threatened to take money from affiliates if they didn't make enough sales. Since then they have revised their payment system and now I get paid every 2 weeks with no threat of deductions.)

At first I did it by simply putting banners on my website.

And while that made me some money, I soon realised that there was much more to affiliate marketing than this, with some affiliates earning six-figure incomes.

It took quite a bit of researching and practice, but eventually I discovered how to do it properly.

Now it’s much easier to make money with affiliate marketing because there is so much more information around.

There’s even a website called Super Tips (http://ruthiswriting.com/links/supertips.html) that not only has a free ClickBank forum, they have some really useful products like their Affiliate Shield software (http://ruthiswriting.com/links/affiliateshield.html) that can do several things, including changing affiliate links so that they bypass the product's sales page and go straight to the payment page, so that you can create your own, better sales page.

You only have to look at forums and products like these to see how much help there is now to earn money online from affiliate sales.

Which is how I first began earning money from my writing.

And I still do it today.
