Affiliate Marketing Blog

The top online article submission sites on the internet have hundreds of thousands of articles online and they range in a variety of topics across the spectrum of human interests and endeavors.

One of the most popular topics and subjects for online writers and readers is the internet, which makes sense because that is the medium in which these online amateur authors and professional writers post their articles. Sure, some of the articles make their way into print mediums and trade journals and that goes without saying, yet most are indeed used in Ezines and as internet Content.

The articles written about the internet span a broad spectrum of topics. There are articles about business on the internet such as; Web Hosting, Design, Development, E-Commerce, Online Auctions, SEO Writing, Domain Names, Selling E-Books and internet marketing.

There are articles on how to get the customers there and make money while they are and thus topics on; Affiliate Revenue, Site Promotion, RSS, Traffic Building and PPC Advertising.

Then security is an issue so there are internet Security Topics and there are bandwidth issues and thus categories of Audio and Video Streaming and even Podcasting. internet viewers may not be satisfied with this alone and so there are articles on Bloggin and internet Forums.

Email marketing is also a way to make money on the internet and yet it has been abused by some so there are articles on; Email marketing, Spam Blocking, Spyware, Autoresponders, Ezine Publishing and proper etiquette in email list building.

Yet in all of this not one; including the number one online article submission site with over 28,000 authors and almost 300,000 articles has a special category of the hottest new trend on the internet; internet Social Networks. So if someone was truly progressive and on the ball out there then their website would include a sub-category of Online or internet Social Networks. Consider all this in 2006.

I am looking at offering my services as an affiliate marketer to small businesses. Where can I look for clients who are looking for people to run their affiliate programs and what would be the average salary expectations for a small business?

Rather than look for clients, I'd suggest making it easier for those potential clients to find you and learn about your Outsourced Program Manager (OPM) services.

It should go without saying, but you'll need to have a Web site that details the services you provide in affiliate management. When that is done, advertise your services in the pay per click search engines.

Also, submit a free listing to the Affiliate Buyer's Guide for the Outsourced Program Managers section.

Consider Advertising in the various affiliate marketing forums. There are also lots of affiliate marketing blogs where you could promote your services.

Other places to reach clients would be Advertising in Revenue magazine and being a sponsor at Affiliate Summit.

If you have relationships with any of the affiliate networks, ask them if they'd be willing to send some business your way. They get advertisers looking for an affiliate manager and you could help out be being a quality place to refer clients.

Lastly, check out the ads being posted online for affiliate managers at places like AffiliateManager.net, Craig's List, HotJobs, and Monster. Those ads are generally looking for an in-house affiliate manager, but you might just get lucky when pitching your services to these companies.

As far as compensation, it varies widely depending on your experience, relationships, reputation, services, skills, etc.

In general, rates will start as low as $1,500 a month and go higher than $10,000 a month. If you're looking exclusively as small businesses, you'll skew towards the lower end.

In addition to a fixed monthly retainer, ask for performance incentives as part of your remuneration.

Get a lawyer to draft an agreement for you to provide to potential clients and always get everything in writing.
