1. Use My Affiliate Links For Things You're Already Going To Buy
I used this example first because it's the only one that seems like you're spending money, but you're not spending extra money. If you come across any of my affiliate links and you want to buy something, go ahead. But don't buy it just because I linked to it. Only buy things that you truly want. If you weren't buying it from you'd probably be buying it from someone else. So though you are spending money, you're not spending any extra money.I have affiliate links spread out through my site, but if you shop on Amazon.com you can use our own affiliate link to purchase anything you want on Amazon and we'll receive an affiliate commission. It's easy! All you do is visit TheAwarenessRevolution.com/Amazon and the shop. Bookmark that URL to save it for future use, or allow your computer to remember it so you can easily pull it http://theawarenessrevolution.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2084&action=editup when you need to.
2. Become A 2nd Tier Affiliate Or Invite Your Friends To
Some sites with affiliate links, but not all, offer affiliates the opportunity to invite others into the affiliate program and receive a commission from their sales. If they sign up an affiliate who then makes a sale, both affiliates make a commission. So if you sign up as a 2nd tier affiliate through an affiliate program I refer you to, such as the Body Ecology affiliate program, when you make a sell we'll both receive an affiliate commission.
3. Follow Us On Facebook, Steemit, Twitter, Youtube, and Google+
This one is so simple there isn't much explanation needed. If you're on Facebook and/or Twitter follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter. Youtube is probably more overlooked. Though lots of people are on Youtube regularly, many of them don't utilize subscriptions like they should. My Facebook newsfeed is loaded with sub par posts. But you can be much more selective about your Youtube subscriptions so your newsfeed will be full of videos you actually want to see. Subscribe to our Youtube channel.
Steemit is a great social media site that is still relatively unknown. You can earn money by being active on Steemit. Well, you earn it in Steemit's own cryptocurrency, then you can trade it in for Bitcoin or USDs. It's a really interesting concept, and it seems to be working out unbelievably well. Just by upvoting or commenting on Steemit you can earn money. You can even set it up to upvote my content and others' automatically by using SteemVoter.com. We both win.
4. Like, Comment On, and Share My Posts
This one is also obvious, just like the last one. But not only do I want you to engage with my content, social media responds to your engagement. If people engage with my content Facebook will be more generous and give it more reach. Like Google, Facebook wants to focus on the user experience. They want to deliver good, relevant content to people who are searching for it. So if a piece of new content gets an extraordinary amount of likes or shares, they'll assume people want that content. And therefore they'll put it in front of more eyeballs, which is exactly what you want.
5. Review My Podcast On itunes
Itunes is the main place to review podcasts. There are others. Like Google and social media, itunes will give more exposure to the podcasts that get a lot of engagement, such as positive reviews. Your positive review tells itunes, and the world, that this is what we need more of. (podcast coming very soon, so look out for it!)
6. Sign Up For My Newsletter
Sign up for my newsletter and receive The Awareness Revolution Primer ebook for free! It's the best way to stay tuned as we move forward into these unprecedented times. Making a living by spreading my message to the world is one of the most important things to me. Signing up for my newsletter, and encouraging other to, is one of the most important things to me.
7. Tell Your Friends About The Awareness Revolution
This is another obvious one. But the spreading of information, and the spreading of sites that spread good information, will change the world. Every day conversations have the power to change the world. And it starts with you. Tell your friends about The Awareness Revolution and talk about the content within the site.
8. Link To My Site From Yours
Search engine optimization (SEO) is how google decides how pages rank in its search engine. One of the most important factors in page rank, besides the content, is the amount, and quality, of backlinks linking to that site. When one site links to another they give the other site "link juice."
If you have your own blog or website, as you should, you can write about a topic that I've written about, but give it a new angle or update the information. In your post you could backlink to my supporting post, but only if it adds to the conversation. If it creates a better user experience for whoever is reading it, everyone wins. Google will notice and rank your page better.
9. Embed My Videos Onto Your Website
Embedding videos on your blog or website provides similar benefits to backlinking. You're essentially telling Youtube, which is owned by Google, that you think that video is important. Of course, you want the video to be relevant to the other content on the page.
I like to embed my own videos on the top of my blog posts, when possible. I make blog posts for my videos, and videos for my blog posts. But if you aren't producing your own videos yet, you can at least embed my videos in your posts and then write about the same topic.
10. Review My Book(s) On Amazon
Amazon is the #1 bookseller. Reviews play a major role in Amazon's algorithm. They want to show people the best books first. It's better for the end-user. Good reviews help authors get seen on Amazon. If you benefit from reading one of my books, take a minute to write a review on it so other people will be more likely to benefit from it as well.
