A Word About Affiliate Marketing From A Friendly Ghost

By Christine Cantera

In James’s video, he gives a guided tour of just how he and his wife, Arlene, help budding affiliate marketers learn their trade. (That is, if you can call Sunday/Monday/Tuesday a week!) Together they discuss the other side of affiliate marketing, and show you exactly how you too can become a successful affiliate marketer.

In this 10 minute video James shows you exactly how he helps everyone from novices to experienced (but frustrated) internet entrepreneurs. Trust me, you will be amazed at the help that is available for you to become successful in affiliate marketing.

As a ghostwriter who works with many affiliate marketing clients, I have to say that I was nodding in recognition during many parts of the video. James sure knows what he’s doing – and he seems so relaxed about it all! But I realized that for someone watching the video and learning about affiliate marketing for the first time, it can seem like a lot of work for someone who is not confident in their writing skills.

We get a lot of first-time affiliate marketers, and they tend to be a bit overwhelmed – both by the idea of writing copy themselves, and the prospect of entrusting someone they’ll most likely never meet with some of the most important tasks on their to-do list.

The term sounds “spooky,” but ghostwriting simply means that people like you come to people like me to help with whatever website copy, ebooks, sales letters, press releases and audio scripts you need for your affiliate marketing business. Then, you put your name on and/or and own the rights to the work that the writer does for you.

Whether they’re new or experienced, our clients have an astonishing variety of products and services they are affiliates for – and their passion for their subject matter inspires us every day. And, that’s what makes their own home based business so much fun! We always find ourselves learning about a new topic, challenged to write in a new voice, or completely blown away by a new innovation that affiliate marketers have access to that makes their lives a whole lot easier.

The thing you need to realize is that there is absolutely no shame in admitting that you’re no Shakespeare when it comes to copy. Even if you’ve written something you love, it’s a good idea to give it to a ghostwriter to take a look at. We have a regular roster of clients who come back to us time and again to polish something they’ve written, give it a quick edit before publishing, or work from a draft to create a finished piece.

So, take a look at the writing that needs to be done for your affiliate business, and see if it isn’t worth your while to hire a ghostwriter. It’s a modest investment that pays for itself – not only in the time and effort you’ll save by doing so, but in the sales you’ll make from a well-written website, ebook or presentation!
