Golden Goose Marketing

In case you didn’t already know, WordPress is a great tool for CPA marketing.  Although a lot of us associate it with bloggers who don’ t make a ton of money, it’s also an extremely useful content management tool for those of us who know how to monetize a site.  You can create a blog, a portal site, or even a standard landing page.  Consider some of the ways you can use WordPress as an affiliate…

• Make a content-heavy blog.  Sometimes, you just need to focus on quality content.  It’s great to make simple landing pages or direct linking campaigns, but it’s also smart to have some quality sites that will stand the test of time.  WordPress makes it exceptionally easy to do this.
• Make a flog.  This isn’t exactly recommended, especially for US-based affiliates – but it’s a technique that many used for years.  People would create a fake blog (flog) and then put in fake entries recommending affiliate products.  People misunderstood the motives and bought the products.
• Create a simple landing page.  Numerous software packages exist to turn WordPress blogs into attractive landing pages.
• Use it to add credibility to your landing page.  You can still use a regular landing page, but if you add a link to your blog, you can show people that you’re not just an affiliate, but a subject matter expert.

If you’re not familiar with WordPress yet, you should be.  Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll have one more extremely powerful tool in your affiliate arsenal.
