How is the test going to land you jobs? Of the 15-20 jobs you applied for how many people messaged you back?

Small personal victory today. I was paid $30 for 300 word health-related article for a client I found on Craigslist. It took me about 25 minutes to research, write, and edit. That's an effectively hourly rate of over $60. Not bad!

Here is the Serpbuddy report for some of my keywords. No real effort here. Simply adding SEO optimized content on a daily basis. Slowly climbing higher.

For oDesk be sure to fill out your profile and complete a bunch of the tests they offer. The more tests you complete the more jobs you can apply for every week. Also make sure you use up all your applications every week. I find that 1/3 jobs I apply for will hire me. Everyone complains about so...

Not quite. My effort with my affiliate sites is on the back burner for now. I am still adding content on a daily basis but I'm not actively pursuing it. My content writing on the other hand has become really successful for me. Between oDesk and my first few private clients I am set to clear...

Amazon and Wordpress will track clicks automatically

I'm on a similar journey. I'll be keeping an eye out on this one. Looks promising. Good luck!

I'm not worried about hiding the links. I'm just wondering how many affiliate links per page is too much.

I love Kindle journeys. It's definitely something I'm looking into. Good luck!

Article writing is a gold mine. So far this month I've earned $400 between odesk and fiverr. My girlfriend signed up for fiverr last night and already got her first order. Ill write a more detailed post later tonight.

Care to explain? I don't know what point you're trying to get across.

Thank you. You're right. For me content writing comes very easy but it's not something I'm very passionate about. I'm still working hard to make my first affiliate site sale. That's what's really important to me and is my long-term goal.

Is it bad SEO to use more than one affiliate for a website? For example could you use a Walmart link and an Amazon link in the same article?

250 for $5. I have other content gigs for press releases and resumes and I offer about the same rate. I'm thinking of changing the press release rate to $5 per 100 words because it's super popular.

Thanks for the advice. 3 links - Should I use 1 for the image, 1 text link, and 1 "buy now" button link? Your thoughts?

Quit spamming, brother!

I looked into it and apparently Google will only penalize a site with too many backlinks if the content is poor quality or not relevant. I'm only using 5-6 affiliate links per 1000 word post so I think I'll be able to stay under Googles radar.

You only have 1 gig? Create one daily until you have 5-6 and then a new one every couple of days. All of mine are relevant to one another but the more exposure you get the more orders you'll create. At first I didn't do any promotion. I just made a gig, did some SEO on it, and let it ride...

Is it a good idea to <no follow> affiliate links?

How many affiliate links per 1000 word article is too many? 5? 10? Is it appropriate to use a "buy now" button? With an affiliate link?
