My 1st Post - Can I monetise these 4500+ job applicants... Detailed post inside... Thanks in advance
Basically I have a friend who makes money through Amazon. He writes articles and reviews about products then earns a commission if someone buys through his links.
Recently he got to an income point where he decided to outsource some writing on a per article basis just to get some different writing styles for different products he wants to promote.
The way he sees it, someone really passionate about video games will give a better more passionate article than he does since he has no interest in video games at all.
Anyway he has 5 new niche''s he would like to get into and as such asked me to help him find some writers.
So not really knowing any better I place the positions on actual job sites rather than (after researching a bit too late haha) freelance sites.
So here I am, happily listing away on job sites here in the UK. With a pretty descriptive, info packed job.
Stating everything truthfully and accurately. Some of the things in the listing were.
-- Writing for a content marketing company who makes money through commissions.
-- Writing 750 to 1500 + word articles on a per article basis at £20 - £40 per article.
-- Earning 10% of the commission made from their articles for the whole time they continue to write for him.
-- Receiving a free laptop after 6 months continuous work with the company.
-- Getting an insight into how he makes the money he does.
So he only needed 5 however since posting the job there have been over 4500 applicants who keep on increasing even though the positions have been filled.
He is happy now he has his writers, however after reading around a lot and wanting to try Internet marketing myself... I am thinking of trying to build a list from these people and getting myself set up.
I can access my friends knowledge any time to ask about the ins and outs of that he does and create a short guide to give all none successful applicants a little thank you gift for applying and add them to an actual auto responder list, rather than just a massive database of emails containing cv''s.
I've had a good read and researched a lot of things and here's what I've come up with.
-- Set up a lead capture page with a high quality content / affiliate marketing guide.
-- Personally reply to everyone who applied by email. Thanking them for applying, telling them unfortunately they were unsuccessful. However since they were interested in the job ad that maybe they'd like the free guide we have prepared on how my buddy makes money.
-- Sign up to an affiliate program... Wealthy Affiliate looks good because they can get a fair bit of info related to what my buddy does, completely free. Then potentially make some money from upgrades on a recurring basis.
Anyway that's my idea, do you think it is viable?
Thanks for reading this far and thanks for the help if you chime in.
Kind regards,
Mark.
