Affiliate Adriana shared with us a very common concern with affiliate marketing:

If I have more than one site that I want to promote, what is the easiest way to promote them without doubling, or tripling the workload? I find that sending traffic to one site my note be so hard, but when you have several it gets kind of tricky.

In my reply to Adriana, I shared one thing she could do.

Being an affiliate for someone such as Liz has the benefits of knowing she plans on offering several of her products for you to earn commissions on. And, more importantly, she basically stays within the same niche.

While yes what Liz offers, internet marketing, is quite a large and very general niche, that is what is the main benefit to you. You’re able to pick a niche from within her more general niche, create some content (or use PLR, hire a ghost writer, etc.) grab some affiliate links and other promotional material of a product or two that fits your niche and build a website.

Since for the most part, all of Liz’s products link up to each other in one way or another - you can eventually continue to expand on your website adding more content about a specific topic and grab the accompanying affiliate product. Depending on what niche you choose, no you may not be able to promote every one of her products but you probably will be able to use alot of them.

Besides, if you read my comment to Adriana you’ve already been warned, as an affiliate marketer, if you do not already have more than one site, the chances of that eventually happening are quite great. So, if you create more than one website - each a very specific niche from within the larger one that Liz offers you - you will more than likely be able to eventually weave each of Liz’s products into the big picture. I don’t believe I need to tell you the benefits of being an affiliate marketer for several products.

If you’re not wanting to build several websites because you’re concerned with having to promote more than one site, I do have another suggestion. Using Liz’s products as an example (of course):

You build a website teaching folks affiliate marketing to promote 5DayCashMachine.com, you create a website to inform your readers how to use PLR to make mo.ney so you can promote PLRHowToVideos.com and you build a website to teach your readers the importance of ventures so you can promote JointVentureSeeker.com.

So you’re up to three websites now, right? Can you come up with any general niches that covers all three of those? How about internet marketing? How about online business newbies? Now of course, I suggest you come up with your own USP and come up with something a little different than general internet marketing - something that hasn’t done to death.

Use your creativity to come up with something that makes you stand out a bit from everyone else and something that links all three of those websites together. Then you build one more website. With this one website, you’re able to promote all three of your other sites. In a sense, you create a portal - a portal that allows you to promote all three of your other websites on one website. Then you only need to promote/advertise that one website.

And this brings me back to the way you benefit by sticking with someone like Liz who consistently adds new products all within the same general wider niche. So, with each new product you want to promote, you build a new website and providing it still relates to your portal website, you add your new site to your new portal.

Last week we talked about how crucial it was to have an email list of some sort. Have you done this yet? If you create one list for all those websites using the same general niche you have on your portal site, you get to contact them every time you have something new to promote. You have a ready-made list of contacts that are interested in what you have to say.

And of course, another benefit of being one of Liz’s affiliates, you should know by now that every time she adds a new product for you to earn commissions on, she always includes at least one article to use in your promotions. Guess what? You now have ready-made content to start your new website and ready-made content for your ready-made list of contacts.

Oh Liz just makes it way too easy for you folks! (hee hee)

Keep in mind though, you want to make sure you optimize them as much as possible for search engines too. This will help to fr.ee natural traffic with little work later and you only have to promote/advertise/brand yourself with your portal site.
