How To Setup and Design Your blog To Make Money Online Free Fast and Real.


Your blog set up & design.

If you are an affiliate marketer, you are going to have several blogs, landing pages & mini-sites set up. Here are some of the essentials to watch out for:


Blogs design:
As super affiliate Lynn Terry says, people have become "banner blind" to sidebar ads & banner ads. He keeps him sidebars clear, reminds us that people start reading in the top left corner of the actual content section & stop when they come to the end. They do not go back up to find your affiliate link, even if they have thoroughly enjoyed your post.


That is why it is especially important to always leave your readers with a definite call to action at the end of your post.


Another thing to remember if you do have ads & links that you want your readers to click on, make your colors match & blend. Do not use ads or link colors that stick out like sore thumb readers' tastes have become more sophisticated since the days when flashing banners were a Wow novelty. In your face graphics, borders, backgrounds & colors are a big turn off.


Blogs content:
While it is true you really want to entertain, help or otherwise provide great content for your readers, never lose sight that each post should promote a product or service in other words, you want them to take that call to action & click on your link.


In offline retail term you want to close that sale.

Reviews are a powerful way to do this.

When people want to check out a product or find a product, the word "review" is usually part of their search input.


By reviewing a product, you are providing a service for them. Telling them the cons, as well as the pros, helps keep it real & makes you seem more credible.


They are already pre-qualified & partially presold by their interest in the subject you are blogging about. Help them out one step further by telling them where they can buy the product you have just used finish with a call to action to click on the link. ("You can purchase the complete package at Amazon.com")


It is very important that, while you want to be known as the problem solver & expert, you absolutely do not want to give the impression that you have positioned yourself "above" them in your own mind. Do not be so impersonal that you come off like a minor deity someone they can not relate to.


Do not pour out your most intimate personal details & problems either, of course but do let them see you are a human being, & that the problems they face are ones you have experienced too.


Remember to include those intriguing, irresistible, empathy loaded headlines preferably with well optimized keywords included, if you can manage it. If you do this, place the long tailed keyword in your first sentence too, if it does not sound forced.


And do not forget the legal stuff, like disclosures & disclaimers!
