Every now and again things fall into place to your benefit when you least expect it. I believe
the phenomenon is called "Serendipity" and is often characterized by such things as looking
for something in the owner's manual for your car and finding a $20 bill between the pages.
How'd that happen? or...
Getting ready to do some laundry and finding five bucks in the pocket of a pair of sweatpants.
Go figure...
Well, I recently experienced "Serendipity" when I discovered that a minor tweak to this very
blog, that I thought was pretty insignificant, ended up adding a sizable chunk of cash to one
of my affiliate accounts. What's more, it's still happening.
Now before I share with you what the minor tweak is, so you can apply it to your own blog or
website, I need to share with you what prompted me to make the tweak in the first place.
It all has to do with one of my personal affiliate blogging axioms which says that "The
fundamental difference between Marketing and Selling which MUST be understood is that
Marketing is about getting visitors to look while Selling is about getting visitors to buy."
For this reason, I've always coached my readers to recognize and understand that as Affiliate
Bloggers, our goal is effective marketing of someone else's product as a means to monetize our blog
and produce a profit for the time spent to develop and deliver quality content, while the goal of
the product owner, who we represent, is to sell the product. Bottom line, Affiliate Bloggers market
products and services. Affiliate Product Owners sell products and services.
With this in mind, know that effective marketing is accomplished through a process of
continuous testing of different offers, ad copy, traffic generation methods etc.; which brings us
back to the minor tweak.
Interestingly, the minor tweak that resulted in my little income generation surprise was the
direct result of something I learned by reading Part 2 of Chris Rempel’s Confessions of a
Lazy Super Affiliate. By the way, I recommend that you get a copy now if you don’t already
have it. It’s one of the best affiliate marketing manuals currently available and will walk
you through implementing an effective site testing process step-by-step and a whole lot more.
So, by taking the strategies learned in Part 2 of the Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate
manual and combining them with a strategy discussed at the bottom of page 84 in the Atomic Blogging
manual, one of my affiliate accounts that seemed to be stalled at $37.50 has grown
over the past few weeks to over $250 without me spending a dime to advertise it. Best of all,
there’s no sign of things slowing down!
If you’ve applied the strategies from my other posts, then you’re already realizing
results from using Atomic Blogging techniques. So, convert your blog traffic into automatic passive
income by reading Part 2 of Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate combining the lessons learned with
your Atomic Blogging knowledge, and making systematic minor tweaks to your own site. You’ll
be pleasantly surprised with the new influx of income!
