Build More Than One Affiliate Business

By Jude C Wright

When you first begin to familiarize yourself with becoming an affiliate and creating your own business, you may want to start small and start with just one or two affiliate sites. This is a good way to take things slow, but you can forge ahead once you know what you are doing and have begun to see the fruits of your labor.

A great way to take your affiliate business to the next level is to create a network around your original topic and niches. If you were to have a topic that involves selling ebooks on how to make money from home, you can break that down and have different pages and websites that are built around subtopics of the original idea.

Your main topic can then move on to making money at home writing articles, making candles, creating videos, doing data entry or having your own telemarketer business. That one idea can snowball in twenty others can become their own money making website.

Once your ideas are in place, getting content to fill your pages should be your next step. This is where freelance writers may be needed. As your business grows, writing your own content and keeping fresh ones available can be hard to do, as you need to split your time between more than one parts of your online business.

You can create some of the content in your free time and then pay someone to write some or all the content for another part of your network of websites. Fresh content can mean a good search engine ranking and links if your articles are picked up by other websites.

We all know that writing articles can be a great way to promote articles. So, when you write those articles (or have them written for you), you should rewrite each one just a bit and put it on your own website. This will add original content to your site which, again, will help with your search engine rankings. Then, you can take the original and submit it to the article directories.

Creating a network of websites can also mean a lot of visitors that you can cross reference to your different websites when you link them together. With all of your sites having a similar topic, you can easily have a navigation menu that can list all of your subtopics, allowing your visitors to easily move from one website to another.
