Terry,

Praise the Lord and God Bless You for all that the Lord has done for you in your life. I came across your website from Christian Living Ministry’s website and I truly believe that the Lord Jesus led me to your site. I’ve been wanting to start a website or a business online of some sort. But, as you well know it’s a jungle out there and many scams trying to figure out who can you trust.

Well, I believe that I can trust you for you seem to be a man of integrity, I read your faith statements and I was truly blessed by them. Just want to let you know that I’m just a newbie just trying to start a business online, I’ve checked out some of your products and wish I could buy some, but at this point in time I can’t really afford it. Because, at this time I’m thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in debt.

So, Terry I was wondering if you could just direct me to more links regarding affiliate marketing and blogging I would be very thankful.

Praise the Lord, May the Peace of God guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus the Lord,

God Bless You,
Joseph

Great tips as usual. I’m still not too comfortable with affiliate marketing. Makes more sense to stick to what I am comfortable doing for the moment. And that is doing freelance copywriting projects.

Your points 4 and 5 are so important .. . and so overlooked by too many people. You must add value to the transaction. If you are just stepping in line for a commission, you are not adding value.

And keep the best interest of the audience in mind. Putting someone on a poor deal just for a commission is the best way I know of to lose your list.

Great article.

If i can summarize this post, I would say :
“Create content of value that relates to your subscribers;
build list based on relationship; track your links and keep
interest of subscribers uppermost and you will earn some money.”
Thank you Terry!

Thanks, Terry,

for some great suggestions. I am just about to start a second WP blog and can easily use this for both of them.

Both are authority sites, I just wasn’t thinking of them in this term.

By using your 4th tip and adding some of my own voice and content to my affiliate links, I can add to the conversation and create more credibility.

Just need to be deliberate about what I am doing. Sometimes it takes someone like you to catch my attention.

Thanks….

What a timely message. I have really been looking into a lot of affiliate marketing methods and even the link cloaking methods that you just discussed.

Thanks for being on the cutting edge of what we as your readers need. Your 5 keys contain a lot of wisdom.

The 4th key on “adding something to the conversation” is something I really need to concentrate on, however key number 5 is really hits home.

Very few people are interested in putting money in someone else’s pocket. They need to know whats in it for them and HOW it BENEFITS them.

By the way, when you recommend a product, I am always interested in it. Because I trust you and. I know that you have my interest in mind also.

Thanks again Terry!
