I’ve decided to run another blogging contest this month for the Linked Affiliate group on Linked, which is bursting with 3500 members currently! All you have to do is write a unique article/post on any aspect of Internet Marketing you choose. The piece must be 400-500 words minimum. I will select the winners of the best articles and 4 people will win $250. Every single entry will be featured on www.CostPerNews.com, one of the highest ranking affiliate industry blogs in Google. No shameless self-promotion allowed. You will get a link to your site at the bottom of the post as well.
Here are some possible article topics to fire your imagination:
- Affiliate Marketing - Current State of Affairs
- SEO - How to Get Great Organic Rankings
- PPC Management - Tips and Techniques
- Email Marketing - How to Write Good Subject Lines
- Lead Generation - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
- Shopping Engines - how to Get ROI from Multiple Channels
- Social Media - How to Leverage Social Media for Your Business
Pretty much any topic in Internet marketing is OK. Once you have written your piece, email it to me and i’ll post it to the site. The winners will be chosen at the end of October. Good luck and happy writing!
Any questions please let me know!
Thank you,
Evan, CEO

If you run an affiliate program, then running affiliate contests can really invigorate your affiliates into promoting your company. Done well, affiliate contests can be tremendous for motivating current producers and also inspiring non-producers to get to work on your program. There are many creative and innovative contest you can run for your affiliates. Affiliate surveys show that the best motivator for affiliate is cash, which makes perfect sense especially in the current ecominic climate. Often times companies only seek to motivate the big super-affiliates and not the smaller affiliates of the program. However, running a contest that motivates all your program’s affiliates to try to win the prizes is a good way to motivate the entire program.
