Screenshot of my EPN earnings for the beginning of March, 2009.

The other day I had a record breaker day on my Ebay Partner Network account – $221.04!

I’ve been an affiliate for roughly a year and a half and so far this has been my best day yet. $100 days can be sometimes normal for me,  but never anything over $200

So to celebrate my success I wanted to make a post about everything I’ve learned along the way – what’s been most successful for me in really bringing in the money… Please read on..

Found some interesting links. Top 10 Reasons Why This List Will Be Popular on Digg, includes some pretty useful info including mention of the WP Super Cache which helps protect your hosting in case of a massively successful Digg. He also brings up the good point of having a Digg Button at the top of your post so people can Digg your article conveniently.

I also came across a site called Socialmediatrader. They did an analysis on what kind of content is most popular on sites like Digg, Propeller, and StumbleUpon. Propellers third most popular is Health, which is one of my major niches – so I will keep that in mind for future submissions.

I’m quickly noticing that the friend system on Digg is wildly different than that of Myspace. On Myspace is the quantity of friends you have that’s important, on Digg it’s the quality of your friends and their activity which carries the most weight.

I’ve decided to add the Top 100 Digg users to my friend list to see if I can make connections with these people, as they pull the most weight on Digg.

When writing for your website a certain style is necessary so that readers will be able to get the most out of it. Writing for the web is very different from other kinds of writing, so make sure you adjust your style of writing accordingly. Here are some tips that will help when you’re writing for your website:

Write Your Articles in a Conversational Manner

Write in such a way so that the reader can easily follow what they’re reading. Make the writing natural and easy to read. The easiest way to accomplish this is to write as if you were in a conversation with a close friend or relative. This will make your writing concise, clear, friendly, and very engaging.

Make Sure Your Articles Have Short Paragraphs

The most important thing to remember when writing content for the web is to be as concise and as possible. Get to the point and display the facts to the reader, don’t make them dig.

Readers on the web spend very little time with each section of writing and if it is direct and to the point then there is a much greater chance that the viewer will actually read what’s there.

Take some time to edit your article after you’re all finished writing it. Editing your article is very important as it allows you to eliminate sentences and words that are not needed.

Give Your Article Readers Bite-sized Facts and Info

Different pieces of information must be separated into easily read pieces that are easy to skim over. Highlighted words and sections are very useful because they capture the reader’s attention and demand that they keep reading and skimming the information that’s on the page. The reader shouldn’t have to look for the important information that you want to present, it must jump out at them.
