Following up yesterdays post about trying affiliate marketing for the first time – Here is where I am in the process.
I got the site built and set up on my hosting plan. I have the affiliate links running as well as tracking with Google analytics.
I decided to build the site in plain HTML instead of wordpress. In some ways it was nice to go back to the old ways… but I had fully forgotten how pain in the ass it is if you want to make changes to all of the pages. The site I built is small – Since we are following what Viperchill has laid out for us – but it has a lot of useful original content so we’ll see what happens.
Today I spent some time adding links to this new affiliate site from my other domains. The next step is to start hitting up some “survivalist” forums and getting it in there. To start getting this sucker ranked.
Might as well share with you all the site I’m building and give myself some link love. The product I picked was, as I said, the pocket knife I carry all the time the – Benchmade Griptilian – And that’s the link to the site I have built. When I get accepted to some other affiliate programs I’ll add them in that where to buy section as well.
I thought I would feel dirty being an affiliate… but when you are trying to sell something you actually really love – it’s pretty great!
