Make Money Writing eBooks or Pay for SEO Optimized Marketing Content!
For any of you that have followed my articles for awhile, you probably know that I have been mildly obsessed with growing my affiliate marketing business.
I started affiliate marketing back in 2005 when basically no one knew what it was. To be honest, I feel like a good amount of people still don’t know what affiliate marketing is but odds are if you’re reading this article, you’re in the know.
When I started years ago, I had created a gaming website for my friends at school that was not blocked by the school’s internet. It was a totally innocent website, we legitimately just wanted to be able to play arcade games online without being blocked.
It was really simple, I used a proxy server on the backend to make the website just look like an educational blog.
Anyway, I wanted to make some money from the website so I set out to find affiliate programs that I could promote on the site along with Google Adsense ads. After all was said and done, it the site was easy to create, I found ways to place the ads and affiliate links that didn’t stick out, and I ended up making a few hundred dollars from the site.
Sadly, I didn’t stick with it because I’m sure if had I kept it up even just in the background it would have made a ridiculous ton of money for very little effort after 18 years.
But that’s life.
Flash forward to today, affiliate marketing is MUCH HARDER than it used to be. It’s definitely not impossible, there are a ton of people making insane money from it and plenty more making a decent living but there’s a lot more competition and the search engines have gotten better about filtering out low content sites dedicated to affiliate marketing links.
Content
Content is the key word there. Search engines and social media platform’s algorithms are designed to rank search results based on authority. The best way to gain authority is to have a lot of relevant content.
This content also can’t be AI generated content. Search engines are REALLY cracking down on AI generated content and drastically lowering their authority ratings.
So the qestion is, where can you get quality content affordably these days without adding the burden to your martketing team, or hiring a copywriter?

I recently came across the platform IDplr.com. IDPLR (which stands for “Internet Marketing Private Label Rights”), is seriously the mother of all marketing websites. It offers a massive collection of digital products and content for marketers and business.
I started using it a few weeks ago for its private label eBooks. I needed an eBook related to a ClickBank product I was promoting and they already had it available for download and I was able to customize it for my marketing platform.
On a related note — as I was writing this article, I noticed on IDplr’s website they’re currently advertising freelance positions for writers. I haven’t dug into myself but it says they’re paying $250-$500 so that could be a pretty neat side hustle for those looking to write eBooks for some spare cash.
Please let me know if you end up applying to be an eBook writer for them! I’d love to hear about it and maybe try it out myself.
As always, thank you for reading and please share those claps👏 and subscribe for more :)
