Associate Programs Newsletter #545 Feb. 26, 2013.
Is there something you need a hand with - or advice on - in your
affiliate marketing?
Here's a brand new service from some old hands at Internet
marketing and affiliate marketing.
Need some one-on-one help from a marketing expert? This is the
new place to go.
But first, a little background...
You may remember that four years ago we announced a new article
writing service, Content Kingdom...
========FLASHBACK========================
Drumroll! Ta-da! Announcing...
A new writing service set up just for AssociatePrograms.com
readers. This is just for you, dear reader.
It's a place where you get original articles written specially
for you.
At Last! Our New Article Writing Service
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/articles/at-last-our-new-article-writing-service.html
The price is a competitive $11 an article standard pricing; and
$14 per article for speedy service turnaround.
These rates are very competitive and are akin what people would
pay if they had to go through the hassle of finding and
training their own writers.
========================END FLASHBACK===
Since early 2009, Content Kingdom has been providing high
quality, optimized content of all types...
website content
articles
blog posts
press releases
social networking posts
product reviews
ebooks, etc.
...at very competitive prices. Customers have been very happy
with the quality and many order again and again.
They're pleased with the unique, custom written articles - with
NO monthly fees.
David Bloom, the highly experienced Internet marketer who runs
Content Kingdom, says:
"Over the years many members have asked us to help them use the
content we provide. They weren't sure how to use the articles,
what keywords to focus on, how to generate traffic, etc. So we
have been working with many of them individually to maximize
their results.
"It dawned on us that perhaps we should make this service
available to all of our Content Kingdom members, so that everyone
can get the most out of the content they are purchasing."
Most content providers simply provide content and nothing more.
It tends to be very impersonal and once you buy the content
you're on your own to figure out what to do with it.
"That's not the case with Content Kingdom," David says.
"We not only offer quality, optimized content of all types, but
can also help our members use this content on and off their
websites successfully. We can also help with PPC, affiliate
marketing, social networking and everything else related to
online business.
"From the very beginning we have prided ourselves on our
commitment to our members. We are always available and help them
out any way we can. With this new service we hope to further our
relationship, helping them be as successful as they can be
online."
As David announced in a recent Content Kingdom newsletter...
"Now you can work one-on-one with our experts to help take your
business to the next level. Anything you need onsite or offsite,
whether it's a small project or ongoing monthly consultations,
the Content Kingdom experts can help. Best of all, just like with
our content, we're going to offer our services at very low prices
for our members!"
Here are just a few examples of what the Content Kingdom team of
marketing experts are currently helping members with:
1. Site Analysis - Are you using your
content correctly? Are you targeting
the right keywords? Is your site optimized?
Is it Panda/Penguin friendly?
2. Affiliate Marketing - What are the
best programs in your niche? How do
you find a great program? What's the
best way to promote products/services?
3. Pay Per Click - How does it work?
How do you pick the best keywords? How
do you create an ad? How do you bid?
How do you set a budget? How do you
set up a campaign?
4. Social Networking - Which social
site(s) should you join? How do you do
it? How can it be used to help promote
your business? How do you get people
to follow you?
5. Search Engine Visibility - How do you
get your site to the top of the
rankings at Google, Bing and Yahoo!?
"Basically, anything related to your online business that you
need assistance with, the Content Kingdom team can assist with.
Whether you need us to show you how to do it yourself, or
actually do it for you, we're here," David says.
"To get started, just send us an email with your needs, no matter
how big or small. We will then put together a custom quote for
you."

Eugen's brave move
==================
One powerful way to help ensure you reach an important goal is to
go public. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell people on a
forum.
If you tell everyone - or maybe just your best friend - what your
goal is, it's then a bit more difficult to goof off and watch TV
when you're supposed to be working towards your goal.
On our affiliate forum, Eugen has taken this move...
500 Euro/month in 6 months challenge
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/discus/ftopic37106.html
I reckon he's brave and deserves to get there.
What do you think?
Feel free to give Eugen some encouragement or advice.

Our five-year project
=====================
(Personal stuff you can safely ignore)
In my early years online, I worked crazy hours, from dawn till
about midnight, 7 days a week, which was mad and stupidly
unhealthy. Eventually, I saw sense.
For several years now, I've been leading a more balanced life,
with much more time for family, hobbies and projects.
I reckon it's important to have at least one project outside your
business, to make sure you don't become too obsessively single-
minded.
These days, as well as marketing, I can talk about home
renovating and gardening. I can tell you what it's like to take a
sledge hammer to a kitchen, buy a do-it-yourself kit, and create
a new kitchen. (It takes LONGER than you expect.)
That's all been part of one project my wife, Joanna, and I have
been doing - off and on - for five years.
In 2008, we bought a vacation home in Cromwell, in New Zealand's
southern lakes district. The house was in serious need of
improvement and I thought the project would take my mind off work
while providing healthy exercise.
(I prefer the sort of exercise that produces something useful.)
As you can see from the photo I've uploaded here...
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/articles/and-then-what-need-some-help.html
the previous owner was more interested in fishing than gardening.
The front and back yards were little more than dust and gravel.
So we bought a few truckloads of earth, put in a lawn, planted a
few dozen trees and shrubs, and installed an automatic irrigation
system.
Have a look at the progress we've made...
Do you believe in having projects and pastimes? Or are you all
work, no play?
I'd be interested in your comments.
