I’m an affiliate. Why Write Articles?

NOT available to public

by Allison Thompson

Many affiliates think that they shouldn’t need to write articles as they get all the good content they require for their site from their affiliate programs.

Usually that is true, but now more than ever visitors to sites are looking for those that have unique content. So by writing your own articles, you can have the most powerful marketing tool available.

Many affiliates will not believe this, but visitors to their sites will want to read what you have to say at your site and not what other people have to say that you have used from other sites. Many visitors will be looking to your site for independent advice and content which will hopefully support of refute information that they have found at another site.

Another reason for affiliates to produce their own articles rather than using others is that visitors to your site may already have read the articles produced by others on your site elsewhere on the internet.

However, it is perfectly reasonable and certainly beneficial to yourself and the other author to use their articles on your site, but you should also remember to feature your own articles as well.

Below are provided four good reasons as to why an affiliate should start writing their own articles.

Firstly, by writing an article containing unique content they are distinguishing themselves from about 90% of other affiliates. Approximately 90% of other affiliates are not actually writing their own articles, so this will result in you becoming a leading force in your field and not just another affiliate.

Secondly, many people are looking for content for their website or newsletters and these people are always in need of new and fresh content. So if you write your own articles you could end up being featured on other people’s websites or in their newsletters. The benefit is that when this happens you will see that they will get additional visitors to your own site, plus these visitors may also feature one of the affiliate’s articles on their website or in their newsletter also. Even before you know it your articles could be appearing in about 50 newsletters or more or on 100 or more websites.

Thirdly, the visitors to your site will stay longer because they have yet more articles to read and this will give you the chance of getting more click throughs to your affiliate program than they would normally be received. You could even if you wish include links to your affiliate programs on each page of your article. By doing this you will not only being gaining more click through ratios to your site, but you are also more likely to see an increase in the commissions that you receive.

Finally, any visitors to your site which contains unique content will automatically feel that they can trust the owner of this site and your will just not be a face in the crowd if you used articles written by others. Plus by using your own content you will begin to “stand out” from other affiliates and as stated above visitors to your site are more likely to trust what you have to say. This could result in people being more willing to buy what ever product your site is selling.

Remember if you want to be a good affiliate then ensuring that you have good content on your site is one way of doing this. It is better not to just use other people’s articles, but ensure that you include your own unique content also which will bring people coming back to your site again and again on a regular basis.
