Affsphere is a new Article Directory (you should belong to)!
If you do article marketing (and you should) – you need to know about the new Article Directory Affsphere.com. This is a new service recently launched by Affiliate Classroom, a widely respected affiliate learning service. While Ezine Articles of course remains the worlds largest (and most trafficed) article directory – Affsphere puts a new twist on an old marketing tradition.
Most article directories have a “give and take” relationship. You “give” them free content, and “take” a few free backlinks in the byline at the end of the article. But at Affsphere, there is more. In fact – there are 8 different ways to make money with Affsphere in all.
- Banner Ads: You earn credits with acticle submissions, by referring new Affsphere members, and reading articles in the system. Use these credits to purchase banner ad impressions within Affsphere pages. Promote your own site, a Clickbank offer, a niche store, anything!
- Earn Money with Adsense: You can trade ad credits for Adsense views.
- Traffic: Like traditional article directories, the backlinks you create within the articles and bios will make you money in your blogs and niche stores.
- Your Downline: In Affsphere, anyone you refer is in your “downline”, and you can make money on people they refer up to 5 levels deep.
- Viral Recruiting: Your article pages have your Affsphere affiliate “join” link – so even if you don’t blog about Affsphere, by only submitting articles you can “virally” get people in your “downline”.
- Affiliate Classroom Commissions: All links on your article pages, or anyone in your downline that signs up for Affiliate Classroom will earn you commissions. You get $10 per month per member. If you get a lot of people in your downline or a lot of article views this has big potential
- Affiliate Commissions: Affsphere is an “affiliate friendly” directory. Unlike Ezine Articles or other article directories they welcome affiliate links. You can use affiliate link directly in the body of your article or in the resource box at the end! Wow – this completely changes the game of article marketing doesn’t it?
- Commissions on AffSphere Sales: Anyone who buys courses on AffSphere by clicking on your affiliate links on your pages can earn you $20-$200 in commissions.
I think AffSphere has a lot of potential – it was created with affiliates in mind. I have blogged about the wonders of Article Directory promition and building backlinks – but with AffSphere you can make money in many additional ways, you would be smart to signup today!
Also be sure to read JTPratt’s guide to Article Directory Promotion.
From now on, whenever I need some information, I’m just gonna run a google search on your blog. LOL.
Oh, and speaking of blogs, I finally opened up my own! It’s located at http://www.erikakendall.com, so if you’ve got any advice or tips I should take a look at, I’ll gladly take it. 🙂

JT … if I buy that report … do I also become an affiliate for the report? And I’m under you? Or just for Affshpere? Sorry, just curious … and I’ll definitely get on board under you.

@Suzanne – I use the “Code Auto Escape” WordPress plugin. You can see the plugins I use and the the url here.
On the first sight, it really looks attractive with lots of extra goodies not found in Ezine. I’m going to explore more of it and thanks for the heads up.

Has anyone used Affsphere much? Any results to report?
I’m new to internet marketing, just started writing articles about a month ago. I have had two articles pop up at the top of page 3 in google so far, (from ezinearticles) but they both disappeared from the results pretty quickly. Any advice on that? Link to those articles from other sites?
Also, using scribd.com and docstoc.com for pdf reports, and getting some pretty good numbers of views on those. Links are kept live on those, but I think only docstoc follows links.
Anyway, going to try out affspere and report back on my results.

After I read your guide to article directory promotion, I read another post and another, and finally found myself adding your contents to my google reader.
Anyway, I’m interested in this Affsphere, but since I don’t usually join something without making my own research, I keep your affiliate link in my note so I can subscribe using the link if then I decide to join the program =)~ Consider this as my thank for your great posts here
