Using Your Wealthy Affiliate Blog For Building Your Business

I had a light bulb moment a few days ago and want to share it with you.

One of the reasons I slowed down writing in my WA blog was I felt it was taking away time that I could be writing posts on my affiliate marketing website. But here's the thing.

My main website goal is to find entrepreneurs who want to use the Internet for profit. And then to show them how they can do this more easily and conveniently by becoming a member of Wealthy Affiliate. I accomplished this by sharing my Wealthy Affiliate review with visitors to my website.

Even if your niche is not about making money online or adding affiliates to WA for income, there are ways you can share the WA opportunity for your visitors who may wish to get into blogging like you have for profit or just for fun.

Light Bulb Moment

That's when I had that light bulb moment. I have written 243 articles on my WA Blog. Most of them are about lessons learned in affiliate marketing as well as other related topics. Was it possible to share these on my website using the affiliate links WA provides us with each of our blog posts?

I decided to use the incognito feature of the browser I use, Google Chrome, to check out what a visitor would see; Here is what I discovered. This is where the slow learner in me revealed itself.

My affiliate link opened my blog post with a few differences. Every so often a pop-up window would appear encouraging me to sign up and try Wealthy Affiliate out. It was easy to click that window out and continue reading my post.

The Magic Of WA Affiliate Links

If my visitor wished to learn more about Wealthy Affiliate, there was a link at the top of the page they could click for that purpose.

I also noticed that in the right margin was a list of all the posts I had written on my WA blog, In addition, they could click a link to my profile page.

An idea popped into my head on how to write posts on my website where I could use this feature.

Why not write a brief article that created suspense about my related WA post with the affiliate link at the end? And then ask for comments about my WA post?

Caveats And Upsides

There are a few caveats to mention, My intro article should not be long. Hence, it may not meet some of the SEO requirements, Since your visitor would have access to all your posts as well as your WA profile, you need to be comfortable with that situation.

The upside is your visitor will get a sneak peek within the walls of Wealthy Affiliate without having to sign up first Then there is the psychological effect of the pop up that will result in more affiliate sign ups,

Other Possibilities

One more thing, You can use this approach not only with your WA blog but also with the blogs of other members. You can also do this with the first 10 lessons from the OEC and Bootcamp and a few other areas that free members can have access to,

If this is something that interests you may I suggest exploring all the possibilities? Make sure you use a browser in incognito mode. Otherwise, WA will see your cookies and assume you are already a member.

I will test how this works out on my website and look forward to writing more frequently on WA. again.

I Value Any Advice And Suggestions

You may already be using the WA affiliate links in the manner I have describes. If so please share any lessons learned in the discussion area below. Also, if you can give me some do's and don's based on your experience, I'd love to hear that.

Thanks for reading and providing comments and suggestions.

Cheers.
