I receive quite a number of comments on a daily basis and because it is held for moderation, I need to decide which comments will be approved. Comments like nice post or great post will not receive priority approval. If your comment shows that you have read and understood and made a meaningful comment to the post or the discussion, your comment will be approved and you will rank highest on the list.

One of the best ways to be the first to comment is to subscribe to the RSS feed. As soon as a post appears, you will be the first to receive it and post a comment. The more regular you do it, the more links and traffic you stand to generate. Five possible links to your site and free traffic. Live can only get better.

There are generally two ways of growing traffic. One is the manual way of posting comments on other blogs and hope that they return the favor, chat forums, Twitter, Facebook et al. The second and more satisfying way that I experienced is the automated way. By setting your parameters only once, the system takes care of submitting your posts, generating traffic and creating backlinks. All the things that we so desperately need to make our blogging efforts pay off handsomely. With that process automated you can concentrate on what you love to do most and that is creating excellent content for your blog.

As you might have noticed by now my blog, despite its youth (less than a year old) and very few posts, generates an inordinate amount of traffic. This is no accident. One day desperately searching for ways to explode my traffic, I came across this WP plug-in called a WP-Syndicator. After much deliberation and out of sheer desperation to succeed in my efforts, I decided to buy the product knowing that I can get my money back if I am not happy. Needless to say my blog and I have never been happier.

I have learnt that my blog not only need my time and effort, but also a small financial investment to help it grow, which resulted in a huge difference.
With millions of blog and posts to compete with, the competition for high search engine results, rankings, traffic and backlinks the competition become fiercer every day.

Your posts are great and worth of being found and read, but without employing the right tools, it may never be found. If you truly aspire to be a great blogger and not just a follower, I suggest that you give yourself and your blog the edge it deserves.

You fix your eyes on the screen and try to focus of what is in front of you and made a concerted effort of doing what needs to be done. The only things you see in front of you are fractured images of what life before blogging was. You are suddenly overcome with doubt, and it seems that the further you wade into the blogosphere the heavier the ball-and-chain of doubt seems to become. Not a single cent, no a single dollar. That thought seems to haunt you without rest. The doubt and the absence of financial gain seem to fuse into a solid wall of resentment. Resentment toward the sunny day, the laughing voices, the barking dog, the chirping birds.

After hours of exhausted self-torture the day is over, and you have not achieved anything. You switch off your computer, and resolve to enjoy the rest of what is left of your day.

This scenario is all too typical of the Affiliate Marketer especially in the beginning. There is a popular saying: If it ain’t fun, dont do it, and if you know that what you are doing right now is right for you, it become fun in itself. The rest become background noise. When you do it solely for the money, you are going to fail miserably. Do it for fun, and the money will follow. One day you look up, and you have the beach all to yourself while they are running around having a meeting with someone called deadlines and answering to someone called Boss.

It is a beautiful and sunny day and everyone seems to be out there enjoying them but you. Through the glass of the window you feel the presence of the sun, but only at a secondary level. You sense the presences of a gentle calming breeze. Far in the distance you hear the sounds of children laughing, their dog barking, and the faint sound of all too familiar dance music lazily floating through the open window on the back of airwaves lazily stretching their legs. You feel the unrelenting urge to stop what it is you are doing right now, and join the rest of humanity and to find refuge in a momentary relief of the constant burdens that plagues you incessantly.

You think of the days when you actually blogged. You know that your blog needs a lot of tweaking and posts needs to be written. You still have to join a few affiliate programs, but first you have to do some research, and make sure that you dont get scammed again. You know that that will take up a lot of your time. Time you know you barely have, and the thing that that makes the doubts of whether the sacrifices you are making looms larger than Mt. Everest is the fact that you have, after all these months not been able to sell a single product. After all that time, not a single cent! The fear of impending blogging failure leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. If only you have earned only one dollar to wash the taste of failure away with. Somehow that would have made it all bearable.

If we use the textbook definition of the two concepts we find that:
Marketing: the promoting and selling of products and services.
Promoting: to help something to happen.
Advertising: to describe a product or service.
The question that I always ask myself is: how do I use the one without mixing a bit of the other one into it? I try very hard not to cross-contaminate the concepts in my practical everyday use, but I never quite fully succeed in keeping the Siamese twins apart.

After lengthy deliberation, I finally decided to create my own version of the two; a combination of Advertising and Marketing rolled into one and call it AdMark. That way I dont have to break my head of which is fitting where, and whether I am using them in the right context. Now I just mix it up the way I see fit without feeling guilty about it. The concepts have been perverted and the lines have been blurred so it does not seem to matter anymore. The only thing that really matters is whether you get your message across in a well-written AdMark presentation. That way I describe my product, while I am selling it, and I dont only help it to happen, I make it happen.

Now that you are blogging about your passion and want to earn a living while you are doing it, what is your bait? What is your hook? And do you even have a line for the final stage, which is to rope your fish in with? I saw the rise of the phenomenon where bloggers give away for free the Blueprint to a Million Dollars. It is suppose to turn you into an overnight Millionaire. It did not work for them, it wont work for you. That is supposedly their bait. Their supposed hook is your opt-in email address. Once it has your bait, which in this case is your Blueprint to a Million Dollars, the fish can opt-out at any time, leaving you with nothing. Your supposed hook is meaningless, and there was no line to rope your fish in with. How is that for a fishing strategy? The pond is teeming with fish, and you are not catching any, because your process is flawed. The next time you decide to throw out your line, make sure that all the parts are well connected.

Sometimes you see the spectacle of Companies using huge fishing vessels, lots of expensive employees and dragnets to catch one fish. Time, money and effort wasted. Remember that the person visiting your site is an individual. Treat him that way.

Even if, as an Affiliate Marketer you see yourself as selling other peoples stuff, you still have to set your own targets, create your own sales copy and marketing strategy, and meet them. Getting paid by the Company whose product/s you sell means that you are in the employment of that Company, even if it is in the capacity of an Independent Contractor. What make the process harder, and increases the pressure, especially for you, is that The Company is in direct competition with you. According to them they cannot solely rely on the Affiliate because most of the time the Affiliate does not work the product as hard as they should. If they can make the sale without having to pay you (the middleman), they will, and so they should, because you are busy promoting so many products to so many people, their product simply get lost or neglected in the process.

When you spread yourself and resources too thin, something is bound to fall through the cracks.

It is therefore your responsibility to make sure that every element on your blog is finely tuned to perfection. One false note, and the entire ensemble fall apart. That is just a small indication of what might be wrong, and where the blog needs tuning and work. When you are the only one maintaining the blog it is not easy, and for that reason you have to be twice as diligent and knowledgeable than those blogs with more than one Conductor.

It is impossible to get all the instruments to get to play well together from the outset. That is why there is something called rehearsals. Your blog and everything is going to go through a lot of rehearsals and tuning, but that is the only way to ascertain whether the elements are compatible. Giving up after the first or hundredth try is simply not in your best interest. Only practice will make perfect.

To the uninitiated these claims can be overwhelming and totally distracting. If you are an emotionally driven person these distractions can draw you in quickly. Lucky for me, I am the logical type that asks the right questions:
1. If you want me to believe you, why dont you pose proudly with your non-blurred out checks.
2. If you have so many hits, why do you only have a Google Ranking of 1/10? I always cross-reference it at www.compete.com
At some point you have to say; Stop! Stop reading the same old posts in a different form. That is the only way to stop being distracted by all that is being said and done around you. Remember that lamb dressed up as mutton is still lamb.

I get paid via Paypal. I dont have a blurred-out check to show as proof of my income.
