Update: I put this post up just before Anik went into launch mode, so the directory link below points to a sales page at the moment. I’ve emailed Anik to find out how to get free access to the directory again and will update the post as soon as I find out myself! Sorry about the confusion - this surprised me too!

Update 2: Anik just sent me the link. To go straight to the article directory, go to http://affsphere.com/. The links below will take you to a page that sells a $10 report on how Anik has been using article marketing to make money during the previous four years before you get to the directory.

A long time ago I conducted an article marketing experiment to promote my blog using the article directory site EzineArticles.com. The experiment didn’t go brilliantly, however there were good reasons - I just didn’t do it for long enough.

I’ve remained wary of article marketing since then, preferring to outsource the work if I do it at all. I still believe it’s a good system to build traffic, it’s just not going to blow you away in a short period of time. Like most things when it comes to online marketing, it takes time and consistent testing to deliver a good result.

This week a recent new friend of mine, Anik Singal, released a new article marketing directory called AffSphere.

Here’s a video explaining what AffSphere is -

Anik Singal and I are doing an interview call this Thursday the 24th at 8 PM ET. The topic is blogging, however Anik has a few unusual questions lined up so I don’t think this interview will be quite like any of the interviews I have done so far.

Here’s a sample of the topics we will dive into -

• How To Start Out Your Blog
• How To Drive Traffic
• Is It Worth Paying For Traffic?
• What Are The Best Tools For Traffic In The Beginning
• How To Build Over 25,000 subscribers

It’s 100% content and all about building a popular and profitable blog. If you like blogging and you like my training materials on the subject, you will enjoy this call.

A downloadable recording of the call will be available post interview.

Blog Classroom

Anik and well known affiliate marketer Rosalind Gardner are launching a blog training program called Blog Classroom and my interview is part of the lead-up to the release of the course on April 29th.

I haven’t had a chance to take a look inside Blog Classroom because I’m in Fiji, but I can tell you one thing - Anik is VERY excited about blogging.

There’s currently a popular pre-course running that is completely free, so if you are curious and have an insatiable appetite for blog training resources, Blog Classroom is worth investigating.

You can take the free pre-course by signing up at the same page with details about my interview -
