Bum Article Marketing Tip

When I first started affiliate marketing it was all Greek to me, still is for the most part. A mentor of mine was telling me one day about forwarding domains. Huh? What was a domain? I had no clue and I certainly wasn't going to tell him that, he was already really frustrated and accused my blond dye of going past my roots and into my brain. So I did what anybody would do and consulted with my friend Google.

He was telling me how to forward my clickbank hoplinks to a domain. Ok, ok, so I got it, then what? Then you just place your domain name as links in your articles. Duh, that is so simple. Why didn't I think of that.

The fact is that most major article directories won't allow a direct affiliate link, but they will allow a domain name in the body of an article. This was amazing to me. So to be an affiliate marketer, I really didn't even have to have a web site to get started, just purchase a few cheap domain names and forward my hoplinks to those domains and ta da, I am in business.

I use Godaddy.com for my domain names. You can purchase them for as low as $1.99 per year and that is pretty cheap.
