Brainstorm Topic Ideas

The 1st step in affiliate business is to choose a topic, not just any topic, but my best nich topic, and this will lead me to what kind of products and/or service to sell in the future.

Man oh man, this isn't easy! Today I'm just going to make a list of topics in which I'm most interested:
  • Beauty - Skin Care, Make-Up, Spa, Medicure, Pedicure
  • Fashion - Shoes, Handbags, Lingerie, Women's Clothing, Jewelry
  • Craft - Sewing, Beading, Greeting Cards
  • Cooking, Dining Out
  • Books, Magazines
  • Movies
  • Travel
  • Bonsai
  • Dog Training
  • Salsa Dancing
I know this is not a long list, but those are things interest me, and I can talk about them a lot.

So I have my list ready now, I will need to do Market Research to see how popular those topics are, and that's gonna be my next task!

High Performance Affiliate Marketing

Jeremy Palmer's High Performance Affiliate Marketing is another great ebook that I highly recommend to affiliate marketers.

Besides the introduction on affiliate marketing, the book covers 4 main topics:
  1. finding products and services to promote
  2. keywords - the foundation of your success
  3. build a website that sells
  4. driving traffic to your website
This book is well-written, professional and very informative. It features real life case studies and examples from Jeremy.

As you can see Jeremy's sales page is short and to the point, he doesn't even mention that you will receive free and frequent updates, you'll also get access to the book's support forums.

High Performance Affiliate Marketing is a great read and worth every penny!

The Super Affiliate Handbook

I mentioned Rosalind Gardner's The Super Affiliate Handbook in my previous post.

The Super Affiliate Handbook is a great ebook that will give you a solid foundation for starting your affiliate marketing career. It's 274 pages, and it's definitely 274 no-fluff pages. There's no large-sized print, double spaced lines, triple spacing between paragraphs, or pretty but useless pictures included just to add bulk to the book. Some of the pages do contain only a paragraph or two, but as a whole, there's a lot of information covered in these 274 pages.

The book covers everything in details on the 9 steps affiliate business building process:

  1. choose your topic
  2. choose product and affiliate programs
  3. plan your website
  4. register your domain and arrange web hosting
  5. build your website
  6. plan and develop your website content
  7. market your website
  8. mange your business
  9. grow your business

The Super Affiliate Handbook is stuffed with information, both basic and advanced, and will help you get started, and keep moving forward in affiliate marketing on the right track.

I love this ebook very much, I've even decided to use it as a blueprint for my own affiliate marketing career, therefore, I denefitely recommend The Super Affiliate Handbook to all the affiliate marketers.

Ready, Steady, Go!

Welcome to my new blog! Affiliate Smarts will be an online journal for me to record my affiliate marketing progress.

I'm not new to affiliate marketing, but I'm not good at it either. Well, actually, I was never serious about it. You know when you don't treat someone or something seriously, they for sure won't treat you seriously back. And that's why I've never made any decent money from whatever affiliate programes I ever joined.

My Google AdSense account got closed the other day (that's all my own stupid fault), affiliate marketing is the only thing left I wanna do online to make money. Without the Google AdSense revenue, I must make this affiliate marketing work!

Recently I got two great ebooks, Rosalind Gardner's The Super Affiliate Handbook and Jeremy Palmer's High Performance Affiliate Marketing. I decided to use both ebooks as a buleprint for my affiliate marketing career. I hope one day I can become a professional affiliate marketer, a super affiliate just like Rosalind Gardner and Jeremy Palmer.
