When I first started writing online, back in 2008, I spent tons of time creating content I believed self-publishers needed to read in order to increase their book sales. I wanted to provide useful content, build an audience, and make affiliate sales.
I got some traffic, but the truth was, that wasn’t converting into income.
Starting my website wasn’t just about helping the industry, it was also to earn a little extra money, eventually making passive income so as to support my writing habit.
But it wasn’t until I started creating the following five post types that I saw real, return on my writing efforts. This isn’t to say I then stopped providing excellent content – on the contrary. I instead, provided a different type of value that returned value to me as well.
If you want to make affiliate sales, these five post types can be added to any kind of topic, not just one on book marketing. So, please check them out and start thinking about how you can create the sort of content that not only provides for your readers but also offers natural ways to increase your bottom line.
List of tools or services
Every industry has some tools or services that can help their readers.
It is your job to be a kind of savior to your reader, the absolute, real deal, you need to help them fully understand what they will be facing out there, and give guidance on where their money will be best spent.
Janice Hardy recently did a straightforward list of best tools for indie authors. While Nick Loper of Side Hustle Nation compiled a list of top black Friday deals for his readers.
Both provide value and yet offer an opportunity to make affiliate sales in the end.
Warm regards,
