What Shall I Do?
For those of you who subscribe to my RSS feed, follow me on Twitter or just regularly check my blog (thank you), you will have noticed my blog has been quite absent lately of content. The reason is, I’m not doing much affiliate marketing at the moment.
Affiliate marketing is a venture that requires money to start (unless you take the SEO route) which I quite simply don’t have. I’ve been spending my time lately reading and writing articles whilst taking classes in iPhone development.
The reason I’m making this post is I’m unsure of what to do with this blog. My original plan was to turn it in to a microblog/tumblr style blog – so I can post small snippets of information and post links to articles I write elsewhere (rather than lengthy articles on my blog).
Failing that, I could just leave the blog as it is but not solely focus on marketing and the odd design post. I’m unsure and if anyone has any suggestions or advice, drop me a comment, email or tweet.
Cheers!
Any authors in the house?
This is a quick post to say that I’m considering writing a book after a few people mentioned I should look in to it.
If anyone has any experience in the publishing industry or has a book published – please drop a comment below or hit me up on the contact form!
Cheers
Having a go at SEO
Hey that rhymes. Anyway, I’ve recently bought a small car to carry me around and I’m hopefully not far off of passing my motorcycle test and getting that roadworthy. What does this have to do with affiliate marketing? It’s made me skint.
So, with no money left to attempt any form of PPC or social media marketing, my attention turns to SEO. It’s a beast that many affiliates don’t have the patience to tame, but I’ve been hearing good things about lately. A friend of mine called Becky Marie seems to be doing ok with it and has given me a few pointers!
My current plan is to get a single site up in the health niche, write some articles and build some backlinks. Once it hits a few sales I’ll work on the next one. I’ll be blogging here of course with how it’s going and if it does turn out to be a hidden cash cow, expect a case study!
Get Your Facebook Ads Approved With URL Forwarding
I recently ran in to a problem with Facebook advertising. I was happily having ads reviewed and accepted for direct-to-offer campaigns. Soon after though, I submitted more and they were declined because of the URL. There were no popups, forced downloads or anything – and I hadn’t changed the URL? Odd. I submitted again and got the same error, 3-4 times in the end. This was because, I assume, the reviewer was not in the right location for my offers – so they were being redirected elsewhere by the network or just hitting an “Unavailable” page. So how do we get round this?
I’ll be making a post of goals I’m hoping to hit by 21 soon! Also, thanks to 
Goodbye Teenage Years!
Woah. I’m turning 20 tomorrow. It’s hard to believe I’m not a teenager anymore, it’s going to be even harder finding an excuse for being immature and lazy too now. At least I’m still a student, so there’s always that one to fall back on!
In all seriousness though, where have the last 10 years of my life just gone. It’s a kick up the ass that reminds me I really need to get in to gear online!
