How Can Affiliates Benefit From AWeber's Blog?

AWeber's Education Team maintains a blog that can be of great use to affiliates looking to promote our service and earn commissions.

What Are the Benefits of the Blog?

One of the best strategies for helping interested business owners to use the appropriate tools for online commerce is education.

The blog is a particularly valuable educational resource on email marketing for affiliates because:

The information published is offered entirely free

Its regularly updated information on topics relevant to business owners keeps prospective customers engaged

It has information on a variety of topics relevant to any business owner interested in the prospects of effective online marketing

How This Helps Affiliate Boost Commissions

By educating and engaging prospective customers with information over a period of time, the blog can help to give them the confidence they feel they need to effectively market.

In turn, when they place an order, their referring affiliate is credited for the sale along with any additional recurring payments made on the account, and with suggestions that help to maximize results, the blog helps to build lifelong customers that facilitate these repeat payments.

How Affiliates Can Promote the Blog

There are three ways affiliates can effectively promote the blog:

Using a widget to have articles automatically published to their websites

Within the affiliate control panel, there is an option under the "Blog Headlines On Your Website" to copy and paste some HTML into a website, which will automatically list links of to the most recently published blog articles as they are published.

Promoting individual articles through links including an affiliate ID

There may be some specific articles or categories affiliates judge as particularly interesting to certain a target prospect or prospects. In this case, the articles can simply be linked to using the article's address following by the affiliate ID.

The URL address of a linked category might look something like this:

http://www.aweber.com/blog/email-marketing/?id=000000

... where "000000" is replaced with the affiliate ID.

Encouraging prospects to request to receive the blog updates by email

The best way to keep blog readers engaged is to send them information when new articles are published, rather than hoping they will regularly check for new articles.

Affiliates can take advantage of this opportunity to engage readers by linking to our blog updates sign up page with their affiliate ID appended to the end of the URL address.

The URL address of the linked sign up page would look something like this:

http://www.aweber.com/blog/subscribe-to-blog/?id=000000

... where "000000" is replaced with the affiliate ID.
