WORKING MOMS REVOLT

A few years back it used to be the norm that you would be a working MOM. That was what most all the other moms on the street were doing, so you just sort of accepted that's what your life would be too.

Needless to say, "times they are a changen'." Now women (and men) have the choice of working at an "outside, regular" job and putting Junior in day care or staying home with the kids and starting a business in the home.

If you're new to working at home and Internet Marketing, there is one system I recommend wholeheartedly--BUM MARKETING or ARTICLE MARKETING. They are the same thing just different names.

Writing articles for ezine sites is a great way to drive traffic to your business web site and start to earn an income. One of the best ways to promote anything - including affiliate products - is through Article Marketing. But over the last couple of years, article publishers have begun to prohibit affiliate links in articles and only allow them in the author resource box or bio box.

There are a couple of ways I'll show you of getting around the problem of promoting affiliate product links in your articles but will still allow you to follow the publisher's rules.

1. Put an active link to your website in your resource/bio box, then have your affiliate product links available on your site. When your reader clicks through to your site, you can ask them to click on your affiliate product links there.

2. Purchase a cheap domain name and redirect it to your affiliate link. When your reader clicks on the link in your resource box, they will be redirected to your affiliate link. This practice is OK with most publishers.

Which method is better? Like anything else,it probably depends on your target market and the product your promoting. Your reader chooses to click on the link to get more information because they have liked what they just read and want to learn more.

Now you need to let your reader get to know you better. You need to help your reader learn to trust what recommendations you're giving them BUT you can't do this is if you're immediately sending them somewhere else and not to your website.

Capturing your reader's email on your site with an opt-in form (the little blank thing they fill in with their name and email address) and you'll start building a mailing list. From this you will be able to send them emails in which you can recommend more products you think they may like (and you hope they will buy). By inviting your reader to your website first, you are beginning to build a relationship of trust which will help to insure that they will be more likely to listen to what you have to tell them and (we hope) open their wallets to buy the product you've just told them about.
