We are rebooting the LinkyLoveArmy in October.  All summer we have been finding, testing, and building a strong network of bloggers.  We’ve tried a number of new products to help bloggers make money, while providing better solutions to advertisers.

We are kicking off some brand new products, fresh out of beta in October.  I want to thank everyone that helped us test these, and especially those of you that helped test the products that didn’t make it out of beta!

We have an even more important announcement coming soon as well. 

1. This is the start. 
2. This will make you money. 

3. Our next announcement might make you wealthy!

Here is a break down of the new products and the new ways you will be able to make money through the LinkyLoveArmy.

*Sponsored Article payment rates will depend on PageRank at time of review of article.

**One text link is for advertiser, and one text link is for previous bloggers article

***Blogger chooses topic with text links.  This means that the blog article does not have to be about the linked website, but the link should not be randomly thrown in without making logical sense in the article.

I’ve been getting this question a lot more the last couple days as we have several new members in the LinkyLoveArmy.  I’d first suggest reading more of our articles and video tutorials or visiting the forums for additional information.  However, we are definitely in need of some streamlined material, so until I get a chance to make things more transparent with a new web design, here’s an example using the recent Ortho Evra Mission as an example. (Link to LinkyLoveArmy » Blog Archive » Ortho Evra Patch Mission )

Things are fairly straight forward.

First, all of our missions are completely optional so you can write about them or not anytime you choose.

Second, we have several different types of missions, and I’m just going to focus on the one that you received here for now. One step at a time.

With this mission, you basically need to write an article that covers the topic at hand. In this case it’s the Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch.

When you write your article, the original email mentioned 3 links. Two of those links and the keywords that go with them are in the email. The third link is a link that will be unique to your account (once you create one, in our B2C section ) Once you register in the B2C section, it requirs a separate registration. Then you can log in and find the Ortho Evra links according to the OfferID.

You then put that link into your blog as well.

Purpose of the B2C missions

With this type of mission, you do not earn any money unless one of your readers clicks on the Ortho Evra link that you get in the B2C section and signs up to receive additional information and potentially help dealing with Ortho Evra side effects. So when you write this particular article its important to write it in a way that prepares your reader to receive the information and to take action.

If one of your readers fills out the form when they click on your link, you will receive $13.20. If 5 readers fill out the form, then you will receive 5 x $13.20= $66.00.

Group Effort

Plus, we are working on this together. For each of your readers that signs up an additional amount of money goes into a group pool. We are all promoting each other together on this mission, so if one person gets a sign up, it can be very likely that they got that sign up as the result of someone else in the group helping them. Even though they might not know they got help! So we share a portion of the proceeds based on the success of the entire group as well.

You can cover this as many times as you like on your blog. This may help you get more sign ups at $13.20 each. If you have multiple blogs, you can cover it on your other blogs as well, but make sure you have registered those blogs and make sure you submit the permalinks for your articles on each of them according to the instructions in the email that you received.

Group example

If 10 bloggers with a total of 20 blogs write up this offer, then the group pool will be split 20 ways regardless of whether they wrote about it once on each blog or if they wrote about it with 5 separate articles on each blog.

If the entire group enjoyed the success of signing up 40 people, then $5.28 (the group rate per the email) would be contributed to the group pool 40 times. (40 x $5.28 = $211.20 total) That $211.20 will then be split amongst the 20 blogs, and each blog would receive a group bonus of (211.20 / 20 = $10.56)

So if you had written 1 article on one of your blogs and then wrote 2 articles on a second blog you own and submitted them both according to the instructions, your group pay out bonus would be ($10.56 x 2 blogs = $21.12) (note it would not be $10.56 x 3 articles ).

If your first blog signed 1 person up, and your second blog signed two people up, you would earn $13.20 from the first blog and ($13.20 x 2 = $26.40) from the second blog.

Total example earnings

Blog 1 = $13.20

Blog 2 = $26.40

Group bonus fm 2 blogs = $10.56

Grand total earnings = $50.16

One of our earliest trials with our Wedge blogging concept (this was pre-linkylovearmy), put a great article out in front to promote a software product.

The original article was close to 800 words, very strong in keywords, and contained 4 tutorial/demo videos.

We pointed just over a dozen sites to that article and it has a PageRank of 4 today.  That’s PR4 on the Permalink URL!

What Does this Mean?

The Wedge Blogging Concept works!  In fact it works so well, that we are going to start offering missions where bloggers are paid upon completing a write up for their articles that point to other publications.  We will promote great articles for paying publishers, and help them build up their Permalink PR, traffic and social bookmarking hits.

How does this impact our other Campaigns?

The lessons learned from that campaign plus the lessons learned from our very early betas under the LinkyLoveArmy have taught us several valuable lessons.

1. The article in the Wedge Position has to Rock.  It needs to be a minimum of 200 words, 400 would be considered good, 600 great, 800 prepare to make lots of money!
2. The wedge article has to be powerfully packed with 5-7% keywords on the topic at hand.  If the article is about Home Depot Gardening Newsletter, then those keywords should be in the article 5-7 times for every 100 words in the article.  If the article has 400 words, then those keywords need to be mentioned 20-28 times total.
3. The article needs to be bookmarked like crazy by all the linkyLoveArmy soldiers pointing to the wedge position blog.
4. PageRank doesn’t happen over night.  It takes a while for an article to get picked up and move up in the rankings.  For campaigns like this, we have to think a little more long term.  The article needs to pick up links a few at a time for several days to a couple weeks after its initially written (not 100 within 3 hours of completion - Search Engines will discount the links in bulk)

What’s Next?

We are going to be doing several new things with the linkylovearmy as I mentioned we will be promoting published articles for publishers, even other bloggers  We will continue to do our promotion campaigns as well, but we will look at 2 primary targets:

1. Targets that do not need linkylove boost, just need an army of bloggers to hit it
2. Targets that are going to be running for several weeks, possibly months where we can benefit from the linkylove boost on the permalink

I have detailed several things for our members and potential members to consider about a new campaign type that we will soon be offering.  Basically, we can offer white papers on many different topics free to your readers.  Your reader will need to fill out some basic contact information, but will not need to provide a credit card number.

Once the form is complete your reader will then receive the White Paper free.  Please see the details in the forum thread under Business Campaigns and let me know what you think.  This type of campaign could be very beneficial to many bloggers especially when we apply our army of bloggers to the effort.  There are live white papers from these programs available at here.
