He has established the highly successful Affiliate Classroom membership site. I think he is being generous in the way he shares revenue from AffSphere - so many people use your intellectual capital (articles) and give little in return. Articles do bring traffic but they also build your Internet profile and your credibility. My view is that, in these Web 2.0 times, you need to use multiple approaches to marketing. I use Squidoo as a means of integrating my blogging, article writing, social marketing (Facebook, Twitter, etc) and video/photo marketing. By way of example, my Squidoo lens about AffSphere is sitting in the number 3 position on Google (for the keyword - affsphere), as I write this post. I really enjoy the open discussion that Yaro provides here and the insights that people freely share.

I don't think this new system is a panacea and certainly not a substitute for hard work. I’ve tried ezinearticles before but like what you said, didn’t really stick to it long enough.

I like the concept however last weekend I lost the ability to post more articles. I keep getting a technical error. I figured it was temporary so I tried again a few days ago only to get the same problem. I emailed Affsphere yesterday and have not received a response. I know that's not along time but I noticed another Affsphere user posted a frustrated message in the helpdesk section of the site four days ago and there's yet to be a reply. Any chance you can tap Anik on the shoulder to see what's going on? Thanks! By the way, I am really enjoying Blog Mastermind. Sincerely, LMajor salelitreviews.com Hi Yaro,

Also, not everyone finds article marketing effecting while others swear by it. I feel that you should actually stick to your traffic generating strategies instead of jumping from one strategy to another. Also, it is good to do some web analytics and find out whether your traffic generating strategies have been effective in generating leads that actually convert on your site. Happy Blogging!

I'd go for at least 50% different, though other people might recommend a different ratio. Duplicate content is an issue, so if you are going to use your blog posts for article marketing, change them or only use a handful of your posts - like one from every 20 blog posts you do.

Though, it all depends upon how creative and innovative you are in article marketing. Despite what you may have heard, pre-selling through articles has done a wonderful job in affiliate marketing as well. For starters, it looks interesting.
