Summary: In this session of the Smart Passive Income Podcast, I go over my top 30 tips for successful affiliate marketing, which involve a wide range of topics - all the way from the approach and mindset of affiliate marketing, to the little details of where links should be placed and how often. As many of you know, especially if you've recently glanced at my <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/my-income-reports/" target="_blank">monthly income reports</a>, affiliate marketing has become a major portion of my earnings over the past year, which is why I wanted to end the year with a hold-nothing-back type of session that will definitely help you and your online business one way or another - whether you already promote products as an affiliate or not. There are 30 different tips here - all based on my own experience - so I hope you enjoy! Oh, and you'll notice that during the session, my voice starts to "go away" or change a bit. The reason is because I've been sick the last few days and I guess my vocal chords were just not ready for an hour long recording session yet. All good though - I got through it and the information is there for you. If you're at work and can't listen to audio or you just aren't into podcasts, I recommend you open up the transcript at the bottom of this post so you can read through the tips instead. The transcript is already available for you. <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/patflynn/SPI030.mp3">Right click here to download the MP3</a> Items mentioned in this podcast include: <a href="http://www.greenexamacademy.com" target="_blank">GreenExamAcademy</a> <a href="http://www.keywordresearchwebinar.com" target="_blank">Keyword Research Webinar</a> SPI Podcast Sessions <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/spi-010-crushing-it-with-amazon-affiliate-sales-with-chris-guthrie-of-makemoneyontheinternet-com/" target="_blank">#10</a> and <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/affiliate-marketing-tips-strategies-techniques/" target="_blank">#22</a> (with Chris Guthrie) SPI Podcast Sessions <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/how-to-get-more-traffic/" target="_blank">#08</a> and <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/traffic-engagement-action/" target="_blank">#23</a> (with Corbett Barr) <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/affiliate-marketing-course" target="_blank">Affiliate Marketing for Beginner's Course</a> <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/amazon" target="_blank">Amazon Affiliate Marketing Course</a> Mark Mason from <a href="http://www.masonworld.com" target="_blank">Masonworld.com</a> <a href="http://www.gotowebinar.com" target="_blank">GoToWebinar</a> <a href="http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/are-you-disclosing-what-you-need-to-know-about-ftc-rules-and-social-media/" target="_blank">Article on FTC regulations and disclosure</a> (from Social Media Examiner) Please let me know what you think of session #30, and if you enjoyed this episode, please share it!
