I am looking for the effective ways to do affiliate marketing without writing contents or articles or what ever. I know if I cloud write it would be much easy for me to do marketing, but I cant (English second language). I know I can hire writers and rewrite and so on. I got some tips from my other thread too, but in meanwhile I would like to explore more possibilities for free advertising tools, without writing.
I know video marketing like youtube, PPC, PPV (require a budget, that I dont have for now). Is anything else there?
I would appreciated any recommendations, tips and help!

    Ok tvp, I am a part-time language teacher (Dutch,French,German) so I can understand your problem.
    Try posting freeads with a simple but effectif ad - can write that for you to help you out - paste and copy , rinse and repeat ... flyers/ad can do magic to - target your audience that way -
    Maybe this helps a little - take care

      Please excuse the observation that small classified ads (and PPC ads, too) require not only "writing", but actually highly technical, specific, not-easy-to-acquire writing skills.

        I contemplated this question last night, and the only thing I could come up with that did not require writing was Banner Advertising and Traffic Exchanges.

        There is also Audio and Video, but both of those require someone to write your scripts.

          Agree with you tpw. You can add the pay per click marketing here, you can look at Neobux or Onbux. But Im afraid that without writing content you cant be assured that you are getting targeted traffic.

      Thank you,
      So I can find free ads websites on Google. What is flyer/ad? If you can tell in little more details. And do you think free adds effective this days? I even did not think of ads. I did them couple years ago, when I was doing MLM, but thought now days its not working anymore.

        To be honest at the end of the day it is a business that you wish to run and grow and for the areas that you cannot perform yourself there will be a cost and the internet is based upon the written word.

          Yes, I know. Probably need to go college first and take English writing 101. LOL. I mean I can write an English, but not in the level where I can put it on Ezine or for website contest.

            Hi

            I'm not sure what your first language is but why not create your sites in your mother tongue and promote to people who speak that language?

            You will stand a much better chance of succeeding if you can write sales copy and articles in your own language.

              I believe that you can write in your own language and then it can be written in another language by choosing what language you would like it to be in. It is done automaticly by the computer. I do not however remember where this was available. Try searching in the search engine for this type of service.

                I think I did that before. Most of the time some sentenses would not make sense. It would take more time then hire someone, I think. However, I will try to check for new software. may be something super out there, which will translate perfect.
                Now I am thinking, I don't know if I can even write in my own language. I have been speaking English for so long. I am thinking in English. I just don't know grammar very well for writing. Hmm, I need to try.

              First language Russian. I dont want to do that because I use to speak English for long time. Also my family speaks English. Lets say I am very American (which is I am according my citizenship). I even dont know what to promote people who speaks my language. Its all different and very small market. May be not, I need to do some researches.

    You're going to have to write something at some point. If you're not comfortable writing your own materials, you need to develop a relationship with a good copywriter.

    Regardless of the method you're going to sell, you will have to write at some point.

    Create Squidoo lenses. You can copy a little bit of what is written in various websites, and then give the link to the reader if they want to learn more, sending them to the original website where you got this information. Suppose you have a website about weight loss and you want to send your readers there. Copy one interesting paragraph from a certain website, and then give their link. Then copy another interesting paragraph from another website, with another interesting information about losing weight. Make your lenses present information about your topic from various different sources giving the original links of your sources so that you won’t be considered a content thief, and post your website’s link in the end, sending your lens’ visitors to your website.

    You have to promote your Squidoo lenses, the same way you promote your website, however if you regularly participate of the conversations in the Squidu forum you will have the chance to promote your lenses to the Squidoo community. Leave comments in other lensmasters’ lenses (it’s not difficult to write something like ‘Thank you, this information was very helpful’) and they will also visit your lenses, and leave comments. This movement will help your lenses get traffic from Google.

    Here is a lens that teaches you how to easily create many Squidoo lenses:

    http://www.squidoo.com/passive-income-website-traffic-squidoo-beginners-guide

    You can also create lenses without writing anything; just promoting Amazon products for example. Read the reviews written under each product in the Amazon page, and simply copy the best paragraphs of each review, and then post everything to your lens.

    You can sell many products through Squidoo lenses, besides sending traffic to your website. However, have in mind that Squidoo is a free platform and you have to respect their rules. Read all their rules. One rule for ex states that you cannot have more than 10 links going to the same URL in your lenses. Therefore, post only 10 links to the same website, and use different websites if you need to post more links.

    Get involved in the Squidu forum. You will learn many things; the people there are usually very friendly.

    You can also promote your website by submitting it to various website submission websites. I give you such link in my lens (when I teach you how to promote your lenses).

    I created this lens even though internet marketing is not my primary business only in order to help everyone learn how to easily make Squidoo lenses because I found it too difficult in the beginning. When you learn the basics, creating a lens is very simple, and you don’t waste any time if you are well-organized.

      So, video blogs. I heard people do this, but was never looking in to it seriously. I would like to see some examples. I guess I can find them on Google or contact this people above. I wounder if video blogs get indexed on search engines like normal blogs?

    If you can write a level of English that most people can
    understand (like you are actually writing here), you could
    do forum marketing or blog commenting to promote your offers.

      Yes, I can write like I am writing here. I even can do better if I am not on hurry. I even have teenage daughter with great writing skills in English(may she can help me ones a month?)LOL.
      However, forum marketing means like get involved forums like this one, where they let you advertise? But I don't think they let advertise affiliate product, because that is what I am doing. I don't have my own. Blog commenting may be an idea.
      Thanks.

        Well, you could do forum marketing to build a list and then promote the affiliate product to the list, after providing some valued information to your subscribers.

    If you want to make serious money in this business you will have to learn to write, that's just the way it is.

    I can sympathize, I'm originally from the Czech Republic and English is my second language.

    The only things I can think of is: record your articles on tape and then hire someone to transcribe it, they can usually put into any format you need. If you can't do that than you will have to start marketing to people in your native language, who knows that might be a very good niche market for you.

      I have to disagree, i am dyslexic and find it very hard to write, i make a very good full time income from internet marking...

      Video Bloging
      Dragon Dictate
      outsource

      Build an email list, then just send them good content videos and offers, the offers can be pre written emails you get from the affiliate resource page...

      Once your list is over 3,000 you should have a good income.

    Search engines love words; this is the only reliable way to evaluate a site. Even photos or videos require words, like the ALT or TAG attributes.

    I don't see how you can get around this without outsourcing some content.

    At some point you will have to write some form of
    content whether it be an article, blog post, web
    site content, autoresponder or basically anything
    to promote your site.

    If you don't want to do that, then you can create
    videos by taking PLR articles and using them as a
    script.
