Local Affiliate Marketing Ad

The idea that I want to share with you today is an idea that dove tails very well with my last post (where I detailed how I created a blog for a local Plumbing business). A lot of what goes on in affiliate marketing is global, by that I mean many of your customers and the merchants that you are affiliated with are global businesses. You have very little face to face contact with them or you deal with them via the phone or through email only.

I think that it is a good idea to try to focus on local markets. As I stated in my last post the trend towards doing local marketing is picking up. And all the big search engines are trying to crack the nut of how to offer better local marketing too.

In keeping with that trend I thought that I would try Craig's List. So I created an ad that links to this blog. I also created a Craig's List ad for the blog that I created for my friend at Mini Rooter, the plumber. I think that the combination of using free blogs, and free Craig's List ads is a low cost winning combination that almost any small business can use.

As I pointed out the blog can be used by any small business to highlight goods and service that they offer.

If you are reading this because of my Craig's List ad, please read some of my first post to this blog, where I give tips and tricks for beginning affiliate marketers and give a lot of how to information. There is lots of good information about how you can use affiliate marketing to enhance you online business as well as ideas of how to break into affiliate marketing.
