Your content lures in the prospect with the problem, and you make the connection
between problem and solution! If the prospect clicks your affiliate link and buys the
product, you earn a commission.
In addition to solving people’s problems with products, you can also write product
reviews for people who are already interested in buying something to solve their
problem. Reviews attract people who are already on the verge of buying something, so
they can be very lucrative.
There is a free Affilorama lesson where you can learn about writing product reviews.
What If You Can’t Write?
If you’re “time rich but cash poor,” writing your own articles will probably be your first
plan of attack. But if you don’t have much time (or writing isn’t really your strong suit)
then hiring someone else to write your articles is a good way to keep the ball rolling.
We call this “outsourcing,” and you’ll be surprised how easy it is. Some sites where you
can hire writers include the following:
iWriter.com: Specifically for writers.
Fiverr.com: A site where
everything costs $5 to start with.
oDesk.com and Elance.com: The originals.
Not just writers here, but freelance professionals of all kinds.
If you need more help with getting content that you don’t have to write yourself, there
is a free lesson on Affilorama that can help called, “’But I’m not a writer!’ Easy ways to
get content for your site.”
