I should know, I am clueless. I just realized today that I did not own that domain on Godaddy. Silly me. I would never have learned this had I not let my domain expire. Went to renew a little late and seems it was auctioned off and for sale for about $5000.00. I don't understand all this, but I am sure I should. I start thinking selling domains? Can I do that? Probably, but that is an entire other project that I am not ready for.
Well now I remember that I had used that domain in maybe 15 articles on Ezine. Oh boy! Manual labor to fix that. I fixed it, seems those articles had been going to the site to buy my domain for about 10 days. I spent 15 minutes, resubmitted the articles, and tad da, after they were all corrected, I made $250 over the weekend while I was hanging out with my new boyfriend. I think that is kind of cool.
In the process I also discovered that I had made another error in about 7 more articles. I had put in the wrong domain. I was meaning to tell women how to get their boyfriends to marry them but the link I put in directed them to how to get the ex back. Ughhh. I did that today. I will update later when they are released again.
So what I am really talking about above is one of the 3 forms of article marketing. Direct Article Marketing that is. That is where you don't have your own landing page or squidoo lens or blog. You write the article, link it directly to the sales page which is your affiliate link. You say you can't put an affiliate link in some articles such as ezine, true yes.
That is where the domain thing comes in. I purchase domain names or registration or whatever it is. I put keyword research into this too, another subject. So many subjects. I can get a .us for $5.00 for a year. I forward the affiliate links straight to these domains, simple even for me. You can put domain names in your articles in most directories if not almost all.
I do other article marketing other than direct, but these do make money for me. This is so much fun learning too by the way. It's like going back to college but much more rewarding because what you build is really completely yours. It could be a reputation you build, a financial empire or a few bucks, but it's yours.
