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

I’d like to share with you a portion of our battle plan.

This video covers most of the information below. I’d encourage you to watch the 3-4 minute video and then possibly look below for additional details or clarifications. If you have any questions, you can always stop by our new forums!

The blogging world today is earning a large amount of money from sites that pay bloggers to write sponsored articles. I do it myself and enjoy it.

An advertiser might include a retailer on the web, or an affiliate advertiser promoting something for a retailer or just a site in general working to build PageRank. In the latter case nothing is being sold, just simple web site development.

In the former cases, something is being sold, a product, a service possibly even a lead for a product or service. The advertisers pay bloggers a nominal fee and receive a large benefit in PageRank that can last months or years.

The bloggers receive no additional compensation. Once the PageRank is developed the advertiser may not need to come back to work on it again ever or possibly at least many months. This means that the bloggers service is a one time event and the demand for their services can decrease over time. There will be competitors of the advertiser that will attempt to take away PR as well.

Plus, the sites that promote this service also take a commission (I’m referring to the sites that pay you for sponsored articles ). Some pocket just an industry standard of 35% approximately, but others can and do take upwards of 200% over what the bloggers receive.

Bloggers can take control of a portion of this industry directly. We can work together utilizing our collective power to drive even more effective results through these advertising campaigns and in doing so we bloggers can receive the long lasting PageRank benefit from our efforts.

The LinkyLoveArmy is working with several advertiser groups to bring these opportunities directly to our blogger army. We can reap the financial rewards of directly converting readers into leads when some of our readers sign up for a free download, an ebook and we can benefit when they sign up for a service offering or buy a product.

Typically, an individual blogger does not have the pagerank nor traffic nor clout to benefit from affiliate programs. However, we are going to harness the power of thousands of bloggers to utilize our collective clout in a way that the internet has not yet seen! Plus, recognizing that this is a group effort a portion of the spoils will be split amongst the entire group. If you ran an affiliate program by yourself, you would be likely to receive nothing for your effort.

With the LinkyLoveArmy we will help you build significant PageRank just like our advertisers buy and we will increase your odds of earning good money, from the conversions as opposed to nothing if you went it alone. Plus, sites that directly convert a reader will receive a direct share of the sale.

1. PageRank Increases working with the LinkyLoveArmy
2. More Likely to convert sales as you have the power of the LLA behind your site
3. Share in the proceeds to hedge your bets in the pool of blogs
4. Rewarded for your individual effectiveness and creativity. The better you write the more likely you will succeed!

Here is Our LinkyLoveArmy Battle Plan!

Together we can take back both commissions and boost our own PageRank together!

This will help you earn more money for your efforts.

It will encourage bloggers to write better quality blog articles.

It will increase the value of your blog via pagerank that will make you eligible for higher paying sponsored articles, more traffic and higher paying text link ads.

It will also increase the demand for blogger sponsored article services as the Affiliate advertisers will need to raise their game as we raise the PageRank bar.

We have a natural advantage in our mass ability to generate contextual content that can push people to a conversion more effectively.

Here is a glimpse at how we will apply our strategy.

We will create a wedge rotating our bloggers through the wedge positions in a way that focuses all the blogs of the army on these wedge blogs in turn. This will increase the page rank of the deep links we point to enabling us to gather more traffic on specific keywords that will convert. It will also raise the PR of the primary domain for the blog, which will help all other campaigns in the future in the LinkyLoveArmy and in any other venture you use your blog within!

We will choose the blogs for the wedge blogger positions based on two criteria.

1. We will choose half of these positions based on the blogs likelihood to convert traffic for that campaign. The better we choose the more we all will earn.
2. We will choose the other half based on general fairness. We will rotate blogs through the position to build up each of the blogs in our Linky Love Army.

We will have multiple layers of support focusing the strength of our linky love army into the Wedge Blog. We will utilize a Battalion of Marine Bloggers (the next best fit and the next blogs to have a turn in this second tier position).

All levels will then be supported by multiple divisions of blogs of all stripes and colors. The masses will point to strong blogs and the strong blogs and the masses will point to the Rambo like blogs in the wedge position.

Then on the next go around, we will switch up and rotate a new group through the positions and we will all get stronger and more effective on each and every iteration of our advertising campaigns!

Check back soon and we will provide more information on our revenue plan and soon we will be going live so sign up today to secure a good position in the opening salvos of our campaigns!

The more blogs the better in the Linky Love Army!

Our new service as we have mentioned is not a clone of other services that pay you to write sponsored articles.  We will be offering up a brand new business model for bloggers that can be applied to their portfolios of blogs. 

New Revenue Model for Bloggers

This new company will feature a revenue model where we benefit from the effort of the group as opposed to benefiting from the efforts as individuals.  This will help us all realize a large potential return on our time investments in the form of money.  In current models for bloggers today, we (and I am a blogger myself!) are paid a nominal upfront fee for our services promoting products and especially websites for other companies typically websites that are heavy practitioners of SEO strategies.  That is not a bad thing but bloggers can benefit in additional ways.

Over the last year our blogging efforts directly benefited advertisers up front.  They also benefited from permanent links that remain on our blogs for many months if not years to come.  We as bloggers receive only the upfront benefit of the nominal payment in return.  The advertisers are taking the risk that we will pay off for them and we take a small secure fee.  We now know that our efforts are paying off for our advertisers as they keep coming back and as the industry continues to grow.

Through the LinkyLoveArmy we will help bloggers realize a long term benefit.  The benefit will be monetary in one part and will consist of  ‘LinkyLove’ in another.  We will always benefit from LinkyLoveArmy campaigns and when we suceed we will win big!

Share in the work and Share in the Success!

In the military soldiers often learn to navigate a ‘Confidence Course’ or obstacle course.  They learn that they cannot overcome the obstacles without the benefits of the entire team.  We are going to apply that same lesson here.  Just like it might take 2-3 soldiers to help each other climb up and over a wall, we are going to use multiple blogs to climb up and over a wall and grab the pot of gold at the top.  We will then split the rewards not just among the blogs that made it to the top and grabbed the gold.  The entire group that lifted those blogs up on their shoulders will benefit together.

Future Mission

Soon, I will communicate your first ‘mission.’ You will be free during the beta and during all future missions to participate in the mission or to turn it down.  We are going to be an all volunteer LinkyLoveArmy.  There will be room for all blogs in our army and all bloggers that do not bring harm to the community.  

There will be more to follow soon, so please check back!
