Hi everybody,

After 7 months practicing affiliate marketing, I got my checklist for publishing posts.

It might be useful to less experienced than me and more experienced members are very welcome to add to my list items which I missed. So, here it is:

  1. First Draft
  2. Keywords
  3. Long tail keyword
  4. Seo title, headlines, URL, description, alt text
  5. Tags
  6. Feature Image
  7. Pinterest Image
  8. Minify Images
  9. Make Pinterest Image invisible on the post ( <div style="display: none;"></div>)
  10. Banner
  11. Internal links
  12. Call To Action
  13. Call for comment
  14. Opt-in form
  15. Affiliate disclosure at the beginning of the post
  16. Publish post
  17. Fetch as Google
  18. Sitemap resubmit
  19. G+
  20. Twitter
  21. Facebook page
  22. Pinterest

Whoever said, affiliate marketing was easy, he/she must have been joking :)

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex, can you please talk about 8 and 9? What are minify images and why are they important, and why do you make the Pinterest image invisible on the post?
Thanks Alex. I am still learning every day!
Cheers
Melissa

Hi Mellissa, thanks for commenting.
Here are my reasons for 8 and 9:
-Images are usually large files, so in order to avoid website getting slow I get all my images compressed . For this purpose I use https://tinypng.com/
-Pinterest images are very big (735px x1102px) to be part of the post, or at least I feel that way, but it necessary to have them as part of post so that Pinterest can locate them. To have it both ways I insert the image at the bottom of the post and than hide it from view.

I hope above will be useful,
Regards,
Alex

Yes, I remember reading that any type of marketing was easy. I think those writing these comments were living in cloud cuckoo land.

There are many things to think of and do if your marketing is to be successful.
