Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if it's okay to write a blog about a certain subject here on WA and in this blogpost put a link to a post on my own website with more in-dep
Hi Peter. I just want to clarify. Do you want to put your WA blog on your website or
do you want to put a link from your website onto your WA blog :)
I think maybe I have misread your question.
I disagree with everyone.
You are allowed to write a blog in WA and use your affiliate link for that blog and put only the link (not the content) on your website. The content in the blog must be different from the content on your website.
You are NOT allowed to put a link from your website in a WA Blog thou.
Kyle even mentions it in the training on how to utilize your affiliate links.
I usually make a screenshot of my WA blog post and use it as an image on my website and link it. I will then suggest the people read about it by clicking on the link. For example, in your case I would say something like this.
Meet a great community and see what they have to say about ....... (whatever you want to say)
You can visit my website if you want and get an example. You will find my website if you click on my profile pic :)

You're talking about the opposite scenario of what we're discussing. Your website linked to WA, OK. Your WA blog - linking externally to an affiliate, not OK.
Actually some are doing this but as Mel pointed out this is very much against rules. If at least 10 people press spam button (the blue one below your title above), your write privilege becomes automatically suspended.
Rika, I think in your first paragraph you are talking about different things. Peter asks about putting links in the blogs at WA pointing toward his site.
No need to apologize.
Nope. Spam is a NO NO! See rule #9. Where can I post my links? I compiled this list of where links to your blog are allowed. Hope it helps.
You are mistaken. WA to external site - no, external site to WA - OK, although it can't be duplicate content, that violates different rule numbers. See my link.
Hi Mel. Peter's question is "Is it ok to write a blog and linking a post on my site?". Which means he wants to write a WA blog and put the link of his WA blog on his website. (If I understand it correctly)
You are definitely allowed to do that. You can utilize any of your WA affiliate links on your websites.
I know you are not allowed to share other affiliate links in WA and you cannot copy and paste content from the one to the other.
Could you please direct me to the section in the rules that says we cannot use our WA links.
I need to clarify this because I am putting some of my WA blog posts' links on my website as suggested in the training.
You are always a great inspiration and I learn a lot from you, but cannot believe that I am now disagreeing with you LOL.
I am starting to doubt myself and it normally throws me off balance if you know what I mean :)

Just saw this... Yes, you can link from an outside blog post to WA, that's never been in dispute, as the opposite direction (linking from your WA blog to your site) is also not in dispute. I think you just had his intention 'backward' from the beginning. :)

Hi everyone,
I'm following the bootcamp course and building my website now, which is going ok. Right now I'm at 9 pages and 3 posts. No rankings in search engines however
PERSONALLY, AS A VISITOR I WOULD PREFER MORE INFO THAN JUST ONE PAGE BEFORE I SIGNED UP TO ANYTHING....EVEN A FUNNEL :-)) JUST ME THOUGH :-)) I AM NOT IN BOOTCAMP YET , BUT I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WILL GO WITH A SITE RATHER THAN ONE PAGE :-))
As mentioned below, Landing pages are used as part of a sales funnel. All the info given so far is correct, for the most part.
I operate multiple 1 page websites that rank at the top of google. They are not for affiliate marketing purposes however. They are used as lead generation sites. Same concept as getting subscribers however more used for services industries. That may be what you were reading about as well.

All organic SEO for those. I build the sites then sell the service to business owners. In some cases I sell the sites after a while.
You can use paid traffic like adwords and such. I never have though.
They are both right! Put your effort into creating great content. ask for feedback and comments in the sitebuilder and watch it grow!
A one-page site isn't an SEO strategy. Google probably won't rank it and people won't find it in their searches. The page, called a landing page, will have one goal (its call to action). it is the "salesperson" for the product or offer you're promoting. You drive traffic to it through promotions, like ads, social media, or mailing lists.
Your sales funnel can have different steps, but that's the basic of it. Lead generation, landing page, offer.
Does that make sense? I hope I'm understanding what you're asking.
Thanks Darrel,
Yes, makes sense what you're saying. I was wondering how such sites get their traffic. But as onmyownterms nust explained to me, it's paid traffic. I'm not ready yet for any paid traffic, and i wonder if i ever want that.
Those types of pages are great for people marketing their own information products, or the information products of others. Not great at all for affiliate marketing for physical products.
But could I do such a page for example on the subject of Affiliate Marketing and promote WA?
You could, but as DTenter says below, these pages don't rank with SEO, you have to promote them via paid advertising.
Actually, landing pages are common affiliate marketing strategies. Go out and find an offer. Then build a landing page that sells that offer and has a CTA (Call to action) that sends people to it.
Simple to say. Not so simple to implement successfully. If you can do it right, it can be lucrative. But it's also risky and requires capital.
Marketers that do it are focused on ROI (Return on Investment) and scaling. If you build a funnel and landing page that converts $100/day in traffic into $200/day in sales, then you have a $100/day profit and 100% return on investment. If you can scale that to spending $1000/day then you can profit $1000 per day. Feed the profit back into the campaign and scale it as high as you can.
But you will probably lose quite a bit at the beginning. While you're building the funnel and figuring out what works (and what doesn't work) your ROI will be negative. If campaign converts then eventually the positive ROI will cover the negative ROI and the campaign ultimately becomes profitable.
Malan Darras (one of the super affiliates that I follow) says he'll spend $2k in one day just to figure out which of three offers will be the one he promotes. Then he'll continue to lose some until he figures out how to get the offer to convert. But once he does, he'll scale it up and make back the losses and much more.
Thanks Darrel, for your elaborate answer and taking the time to answer my question.
I will just stick with the bootcamp training and build out my site gradually.
You're welcome. I tend to over-elaborate sometimes. Perhaps think of this as a goal for the future, once you have the funds to invest into it.
That's what I'm doing. Every time I go to buy something I think, "would it be better to save this money for affiliate marketing?". It's always on my mind as something I want to do.
