Affiliate Marketing Application Turned Down

I tried to get into the Boost Mobile affiliate program at one of the affiliate networks, but the system rejected my application.  Not a big deal.  I just started thinking.  How could I still do it anyway?  Getting into an affiliate program might end up with a no, but it does not mean that you have to stop.

One of the benefits of doing internet marketing is the creativity.  What about writing content around those keywords and just going after the contexutal ads?  The content is not waiting for any approval.  You are the one that can talk about the evergreen topics that you want.   

So it might be talking about some of the keywords that people are searching for online like Boost Mobil.  It might be going after some of the other keywords that are not specific.  The task could also be fun. You might decide
to start writing a funny little story using the keywords.  

How hard do you think it would be to come up with a short story about about a No Contract phone?  The story starts with a business owner that is constantly on the phone.  The person is always talking and raking up the monthly minute totals.  The only problem with the person is that they are not paying attention and they go over the number of monthly minutes.  They open up the cell phone bill and their eyes almost pop out of their head.   The person turns red with anger at going over the minute count and decides never again with this happen for a cell phone bill.  They immediately start looking for a low cost unlimited calling plan.  They no longer care about the difference between the boost mobile logo and the other premium cell phone brands.  The idea of a prepaid cell phone being lower market doesn't matter anymore.  It is only down to the real deal, the monthly amount of money being saved on phone calls.

The story of a cheap mobile phone might be great way to talk about more than just the cheap phones.  The same story could talk in a different light using some comedy.  The same business person could be talking to a client when they get a call and the client standing there sees the old cheap cell phone and chuckles.  They ask about the phone.  

With content there are lots of different directions that can be explored.  Think evergreen and think about creating a short story.  Do you remember what it was like walking into the cell phone store and looking at all the different
models?  What about after you made the decision to buy a new phone and the moment that they pulled that long contract from behind the counter.  Did you read all of that information?  You might not remember and you might not even care.  The idea of a no contract phone today is not a big deal.  

The cell phone plans and the data packages are all over the place.  People don't look down on prepaid wireless anymore.  The truth is that cell phones are everywhere.  You can get them at the gas stations and at the grocery
stores.  The cell phone gets updated all the time and people like changing them.  People don't really want to get locked into cell phone deals.  There is always room for more android and other brand smartphone options.

Bottom line, don't let getting turned down for an affiliate program bother you.  You still hold the keys to the online marketing game.
