Blogging and article marketing are 2 of the most popular that come to mind. No site required for either.

My primary tools for article marketing are: Niche Inspector, Keyword Elite, HyperVRE, Instant Article Wizard, Niche Article Generator, Directory Submitter Gold and Article Submitter Gold.

While I try to write my own articles for total uniqueness, I sometimes must use the features of some of these tools for good niches that are unfamiliar topics for me.

(Yeah, I know, I could've used my affiliate links, but you savvy folks would've by-passed 'em anyway! Wink

)

Hope this helps,

Griff

After I posted that comment, I realized what a can of worms it could open, but when I did I also found out that editing posts is disabled in this forum, and I could not remove the comment.

While I don't harbor any ill will against those who do this, I do not participate in this activity and I will not explain it.

I sincerely apologize to the entire forum for my own indiscretion regarding said post.

Hey Guys!

Griff, very ethical indeed Very Happy

However, the explanation won't hurt anything.

Bloke, he was just referring to putting his
affiliate links in posts when mentioning products.
So...

When he said:
"My primary tools for article marketing are: Niche Inspector, Keyword Elite, HyperVRE, Instant Article Wizard, Niche Article Generator, Directory Submitter Gold and Article Submitter Gold."

He could have had a bunch of links instead of just words.
Leading you to the products via his links,
instead of leaving it up to you to find them yourself.

This is actually against the rules of the forum.
You can only have affiliate links in your signature.

Now, in this case, he waited till he got asked.
And should have the right to recommend products.
Right?
...Well, if the world wasn't full of greed, maybe.
But link spammers have made that a thing of the past.

Also, when he said "but you savvy folks would've by-passed 'em anyway",
I think he was wrong.

He was referring to people bypassing them by
removing his affiliate id, and going straight to the url.
However, in my experience, that doesn't happen here much.

This is an "affiliate forum".
And people understand the commission thing.
Bypassing an affiliate link in here is like
a waitress that doesn't tip when she is a customer.
It doesn't happen very often at all.
Because a waitress knows that tips are the bread and butter,
they are usually the best tippers out there.
...ya know?

Anyway, here's the deal:
When you come across a product that you love,
and think others would too,
put a affiliate link and explanation of the benefits in your signature.
Tell a story about the success it helped you achieve.
And then post.
That's how it's done.
And, that's how it works best Wink

Hope it helped a bit!
Brad.

ps-
Did I get that all correct Griff?
(I don't want to be putting words in your mouth. LOL!)
