I always like to take a little time over the summer to try a couple things online over the summer. This summer I am going to be working on learning more about niche affiliate marketing.
One thing I have always been lazy about is keyword research. I tend to write a lot of personal blogs and therefore do not worry about things like SEO and how many people will read the sites. I know keyword research is important to affiliate marketing so I better learn the basics.
Another topic that I’ve never really spent much time on is link building through article marketing. I read about it a lot and people seem to have very mixed opinions about how well it works these days but the best way to learn is to spend some time poking it to see what happens.
Very specifically, I have two definable projects that will help me work on one or both of those new affiliate marketing skills that I want to learn.
- Update my more niche sites – I have about 10 blogs. One of them I update regularly. This one here I update sporadically and the others generally lie dormant. I’m going to work on changing that this summer. My goal is to get one post a week up on each blog. If I can’t muster enough ambition to do that on a given site, I will be getting rid of it. For the others, I will start working on targeting some keywords and possibly affiliate programs if I find a good fit.
- One Week Marketing – I bought it recently and since I am really thinking about working with keywords and affiliate programs this summer, it seemed like a perfect project. I’m hoping to target 2 or 3 or the “weeks” and end up with 2 or 3 completed, well developed projects. I already have 3 targeted affiliate programs through Commission Junction that I am thinking about using for the One Week Marketing training.
I’m planning to post updates over the summer to highlight my successes, failures and what I learn.
