Website Designs for Affiliate Marketing

This is more or less a second part of my rant today. After I finished my rant I decided to put it to the test and made a post about silicone wristbands to show that I’d not make any sales. However, to my surprise I did, as a matter of fact I made a couple sales. But it is still not as good as my silicone wristband site.

When it comes to affiliate marketing you have to have something unique as well as the ability to stand out in that industry. A website talking about how much money you make as an affiliate marketer is not going to make you money in affiliate marketing.

At this moment I have my silicone wristband site that makes me about $1,000.00 per week.

It’s had quite a bit of drop in sales from last year and for this reason we’ve decided to start a website about fundraising events. After all there is only so much that can be said about silicone wristbands however, there is a heck of a lot that can be said about fundraising.

A website about fundraising allows me to stand out in that industry and it allows me to find people looking for silicone wristbands or rather ways to make money with fundraisings ideas.

A post about silicone wristbands on a website about making money online might make me a sale to two today but has very little chance of doing much more than that.

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

I ran across what I thought was going to be a very good topic by Jordan over at WPW, however like most things on the web it fizzled out before ever hitting a high note.

This isn’t an attack on Jordan, as a matter of fact had it not been for Jordan I wouldn’t be writing this now.

I believe Jordan’s thread would have been a lot better had he tried new things as he went along. Other words, if something isn’t working try something different.
I currently make a decent amount of money online and have learned over the years that there are two important things when it comes to making money online.

They are the traffic and the sites ability to convert that traffic.

I’ve got sites that make me money day after day on some extremely boring topics. And even though the rest of the world is seeing problems in the economy, I think God that my business has continued to grow.

However, it’s not been without effort, I’ve changed directions more times than most people change their underwear. I’ve spread out into other areas to pull traffic back into the sites I’m trying to make money with.

Let me give you an example;

I’ve got a website selling silicone wristbands; November was the worst month we’ve had in a long time. In December we redesigned the site and hit a record breaking month however January and February sales started dropping off really bad again.

We decided to build a website about fundraising events and once again drove sales back up and hit an all time high in the month of March. As a matter of fact we broke records that had been set over the past years in that one month.

Why the rest of the world is dealing with a recession, I’m dealing with how to break records that were set last month. There are times in life when we have to change directions and try something new.
