I’ve been stuck for topics to blog about lately, mainly because I’ve been so wrapped up in helping others build their dream businesses that I’ve not been keeping up with the success strategies that I use in my own business.  If you’re a new reader, you may not know that my business is a split between trading hours for dollars and earning passive income – mainly in the form of affiliate commissions from products I recommend to my readers.  They’re all products that I’ve used personally or know the creator of the product and have been lucky enough to get a sneak peek.  Last year was my best year yet for earning affiliate revenues and I’m hoping to continue the upward swing this year.  I have my work cut out for me as I really haven’t been focusing on my online affiliate income strategy at all this year.  But I’m up to the challenge!

So this past week, I’ve been poking around the Clickbank marketplace and checking out a few different products I’d like to get to know more about as they tie in with my current marketing and blogging efforts.  I figure why make it harder on myself to succeed, just find products that tie in to what I’m already doing.

The Clickbank marketplace is a great way to get started with earning online affiliate income.  Just poke around the marketplace in each of the different categories and you’ll undoubtedly find a product or two that you’d be interested in promoting.  Another overlooked resource is to check out the hot selling items at Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble as those are topics that obviously have a market.

The key to success in affiliate marketing is to find a niche and then find products that help solve a problem or provide a service to that niche.  A tour of Amazon and Clickbank can help you find that niche.  Being connected to a tribe of like-minded people who are interested in information about that niche topic is what will ultimately lead to sales.

There are many tools available today to help you find an engage a tribe of followers.  The social media sphere is a buzz with tools like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace but unless you have a strategy for incorporating and using these tools in your business, you’ll be wasting your efforts.  That’s why I’m excited to share The Social Media Marketing Strategy Cashmap with you.
