Just recently I posted on a forum asking what tasks as an affiliate marketer you need to oursource.   I’ll share with you what I’ve learned thus far and I figured why not just come back here and ask you the same thing.

I want your opinion on it too.

Ok, so here are the responses I received:

1.Article Submission

2. Content Management

3. PLR rewrites

4.  E-mail management

5.  Research

6. Administrative tasks

These were all very good answers but I’m curious too as to what your needs are?  Where your business is now, what tasks do you wish you could outsource?

Contact me and let me make your outsourcing wish come true. 

WordTracker is the next resource I’d like to tell you a little bit about. For search engines to locate your site you must have keywords in your articles or web pages. Words that searchers are looking for.

The best way to know which terms within your niche are being searched for are with keyword research tools such as WordTracker. This is not only a great means for gaining not just traffic but rather targeted traffic via the search engines it’s also a great tool for pay per click advertising. Know the right keywords that are being searched for will make those advertising dollars worth it.

Keywords are important but knowing what the competition on the words you are using is just as important if not more important. You’ll want to find words that are highly searched for yes, but you also want keywords that aren’t so saturated within the search engines that the chance of your site being one of the top sites listed are slim. You’ll need to find great keywords with low competition.

How do you do this? With programs such as WordTracker. If you’d like to learn more about how WordTracker works click here for more information.

It’s understandable. After all, blogging is still relatively new to the majority of bloggers and many businesses are still trying to make sense of the whole blogging scene. Also things evolve as blogging starts to mature, so a good strategy yesterday may turn into a mistake today. These are some of the most common mistakes a blogger makes.

Not Asking For Comments

Bloggers always agonize over the lack of comments. But the problem is not that people don’t read the blog or don’t want to comment but the blogger hasn’t given the opportunity for readers to comment. Just like asking for people to order a product, you’ve got to coax people to spend their 3 or 4 precious minutes to comment on your blog. Ask for opinions. People love giving it. Ask for reader’s experiences, input or help to accomplish something. Ask people to suggest something to you e.g. You’re getting incorporated, ask people for suggestions, tips and recommendations. Asking is a way of telling people it’s ok to speak their mind and that you’re open to alternatives..

Not Hosting On Their Own Domain

Give thought into your blog. Don’t just jump on the bandwagon. You need to figure out where it’s taking you before you hop on for the ride. Like any web site you may build, think of your blog as a long term marketing communication channel. A Blogspot or Typepad URL is not only unprofessional, you don’t own it. Nothing against these blogging services; they’re excellent tools but for long term marketing purposes, go for your own domain..

This way you control where you want to publish the blog to. Tomorrow, if you outgrow these services, you can easily export your blog to another tool, another host without losing too much established traffic. A domain is also easier for people to remember and easier for you to publicize..

Not Maximizing Their Blog Content

Many businesses quit blogging because they feel it’s too much work. True, like everything else, you gotta work on a blog but you don’t have to break your back over it. Sometimes you may have a paragraph here and there about a topic that just isn’t big enough for an article. You know what? You’re going to have many more of these impromptu thoughts and ideas - publish it to your blog. Later, you can come back and gather these paragraphs, compile them into a complete article or even a book..

That’s only one way of maximizing your work. Have you written articles in the past? How about e-courses, audio transcripts or books that aren’t in publication anymore? Recycle. Break them up and post them on your blog. In fact, if you have lot’s of this type of content, you can even get your assistant to post them for you..

Publishing Too Often

I know what you’re thinking. This sounds like complete the opposite of everything you’ve ever learnt about blogging. Truth is, the blogging world changes. What works yesterday may not today. This is one of them. There are countless blogs already jostling with you for your reader’s time. More are being started by the day. .

Who has the time to read so many blogs? It’s come to a point people are forced to cherry pick the blogs they read. Even when they do read yours, you’re not safe yet. If they can’t keep up with your blogging pace, they’ll drop you no matter how good your information is. Keep a balance. Feed information to your readers not dump a truckload on them. Every market is different. Some can tolerate higher number of posts a week, some can’t. You should know your market and test accordingly..

Falling For Short Term Methods

Ah, this is my favorite. If you can have a favorite pet peeve that is. Every week, you hear about people dishing out the newest, coolest blogging tactic, best blogging tool that’s sure to sky rocket your business to success or bull doze your way to the top search engine listings. Consider how any offer will help you advance your business two, five or tens years from now. Is it really in line with your marketing direction? If it isn’t drop it. It also helps a lot if you can have a reliable source whom you can consult and help put things into perspective for you. One of the most powerful qualities of a blog has nothing to do with search engines, tagging or pinging. These things do have a place, but they aren’t as powerful as the relationship opportunities between you and your customers..

Although these mistakes are common, they are also very easily rectified and don’t cost much money. All of these suggestions are born out of my own trial and error and they’ve worked out nicely. Try it yourself..
