			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is it with internet marketing product launches nowadays? Every time a promo email for the latest product launch hits our inbox and we hastily head on over to the sales page (via the affiliate link of course) to see what the fuss is all about we are confronted with…nothing. <span id="more-414"></span></p>
<p>It’s becoming a regular occurrence that the servers have once again crashed under the strain of hordes of would-be buyers eager to run their credit card debt up even farther.</p>
<p>If these internet marketing gurus are so far ahead of the game why can’t they get their product launches right? I know it’s probably easier said than done but the so-called experts should have learned a thing or two by now, surely?</p>
<p>To be honest the promo emails are starting to wear a little thin just lately as well. For many, the initial excitement and novelty of internet marketing has worn off and they are getting a little bored with all the hyped-up emails flooding into their inbox, including me. </p>
<p>The strange thing is that some of the bonuses offered by JV partners are often better than the product they are promoting. In fact, I suspect that lots of us buy the newly launched product more for the bonus offered by the affiliate than the product itself.</p>
<p>Makes you wonder if the internet marketing product they are promoting is that good after all, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>Sadly, for some people buying internet marketing products has become something of an addiction. And there’s lots of money to be made from all the desperate buyers out there who need their latest product fix. Many don’t even use the IM products either; they just buy them because it makes them feel like they are doing something.</p>
<p>It reminds me of the gambling phrase ‘going on tilt’ where a losing gambler tries to win back the money they have already lost by becoming more reckless with their bets.  They have wasted so much money already that they think just one more purchase might do the trick.</p>
<p>It rarely does.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are on lots of internet marketers lists, I am sure you have received multiple emails promoting a newly launched Clickbank product. Many of these will contain identical content because they are just cut-and-paste emails provided for joint venture partners.</p>
<p>So, if so many affiliates are promoting the same Clickbank product on the same day and using identical or very similar emails then what do the successful affiliates use to increase their Clickbank affiliate sales?<span id="more-379"></span></p>
<p><strong>A sure way to increase affiliate sales</strong></p>
<p>It may simply be because they have a great relationship with their list and just need to recommend a product and some will buy it. But a more effective  way to guarantee more affiliate sales is to add an attractive bonus to encourage someone to buy through their affiliate link instead of someone else’s.</p>
<p>It’s a fact that lots of super affiliates use this to great effect &#8211; but it can get a little untidy.</p>
<p>To ensure they get credit for the sale they will ask you to clear your cookies first and then click on their affiliate link. Once you have bought the affiliate product you then have to send an email or contact a support desk to give your purchase details to the referring affiliate to verify the purchase. They then send you an email with the download link to their bonus page.</p>
<p>This bonus incentive system is all very good for guaranteeing an increase in affiliate sales but it’s hardly an automated solution is it? In practice, it’s all a bit convoluted and time-consuming for both buyer and affiliate.</p>
<p><strong>Putting it all on autopilot</strong></p>
<p>But what if all this could be put on autopilot so that the affiliate doesn’t have to response personally to everyone and the buyer gets his or her bonus download link automatically.</p>
<p>And what if the affiliate could also add the buyer to his own list at the same time?</p>
<p>So the affiliate makes an affiliate sale, delivers the bonus without having respond personally, and gets a qualified buyer onto his own list all in one go. Does that sound like a great way of doing business?</p>
<p>What would an automated bonus delivery system like that cost though, hundreds of dollars? Even at that price would probably pay for itself in no time in increased affiliate sales and timesavings.</p>
<p>In fact, you can get a system exactly like this for a ridiculously low price and full training on how to use it too. Jeff Czyzewski  has created <a title="CB Bonus Domination" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/cbbonusdomination/" target="_blank">CB Bonus Domination</a> which does all the bonus delivery stuff for you, plus comprehensive training modules to help you use it to its full potential.</p>
<p><strong>How to create the perfect bonus</strong></p>
<p>However, delivering an incentive bonus on autopilot is only part of the puzzle though because not just any old bonus will do. You have to offer something of value, but how do you do get that part right?  Get it wrong and you won’t get as many sales as you should.</p>
<p>Luckily, Jeff gives you training on how to create the perfect bonus package to guarantee increased affiliate sales.</p>
<ul>
<li>Discover advanced strategies that show you exactly what buyers are looking for.</li>
<li>How to pick the right product to promote at exactly the right time.</li>
<li>Remove the guesswork as you begin your plans for dominating the hottest niches.</li>
<li>Uncover the secret to promoting products without having to write a single word of copy.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The key to increased sales</strong></p>
<p>Creating relevant, high value and unique bonuses is the key to getting more sales and subscribers. With the step-by-step videos and lessons, you’ll be able to quickly create your own bonuses that will help you to increase your affiliate sales.</p>
<p>The quickstart guides and videos show you exactly how you can have the system up and running in less than 10 minutes. Jeff walks you through every step to installing the CB Bonus Delivery System and begin automating your sales and supercharge your results … on autopilot.</p>
<p>And the video training modules will give you all you need to become a success at affiliate marketing.Really useful stuff.</p>
<p>To sum up, the CB Bonus Delivery System would be an absolute steal for the script alone. But with the training modules as well it becomes a must buy for anyone who wants to increase their affiliate sales. Many of the super affiliates are getting CB Bonus Domination for themselves because it&#8217;s   THE MUST HAVE tool for  their affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>And the great thing is  you don&#8217;t have to be a guru or super affiliate to use it. Even if you&#8217;ve got no list, no product and no idea where to start in affiliate marketing this will help you.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a link if you want to find out more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have been busy working for many months on a internet marketing product that you are certain will be a surefire success. You have carefully tested it out and it looks just great.</p>
<p>All you have to do now is launch it to your target market and sit back while hordes of eager customers come stampeding onto your website to buy it. After all, it is a great product so why shouldn’t you be so confident?</p>
<p>But then disaster strikes. <span id="more-367"></span>Nobody buys your fantastic product even though you know it’s the best. What’s even worse they buy a competitors product instead, which you know for a fact is not a patch on yours.</p>
<p>Really frustrating after all the hard work and time you put into it.</p>
<p>So what was it that made people decide to buy an inferior product from the competition instead of you? Is it because they are uninformed or just plain stupid? Or was it the sales pitch that convinced them to buy an inferior product?</p>
<p>There are many things that motivate people to choose one product instead of another. They will buy it even it is clearly not the better of the two and not even the best value for money.</p>
<p>People are mentally wired to respond to certain emotional cues. When the triggers for these emotions are triggered through marketing campaigns or other efforts, people will act.</p>
<p><strong>They buy because:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>They have real needs – People buy products and services to fulfill real needs such as food, shelter, clothing and the basic requirements of life.</li>
<li>They have perceived needs – Some products appeal to people by targeting their perceived needs. They push their emotional buttons and make them believe they cannot manage without the product in their homes or offices.</li>
<li>They have wants and desires – Buyers are also highly influenced by products that appeal to their personal desires. When product A offers good value and quality but product B satisfies a deep desire, in many cases they will choose product B over product A.</li>
</ul>
<p>For many internet marketing products in general most people buy because they think they will show them:</p>
<ul>
<li>How to make lots of money &#8211; to ease their financial troubles or get them the things they desire most.</li>
<li>In the shortest time possible &#8211; because most people are impatient.</li>
<li>With the least amount of work &#8211; because most people hate hard work.</li>
</ul>
<p>So if an internet marketing product offers them the opportunity to get more money with which to have a better life and more time to enjoy it then to them it is just what they need &#8211; and who can blame them?</p>
<p>If you can’t convince them that your product will do all this for them they will find one that does, or at least promises to. That is why so many people fall for the get-rich-quick type of products because they promise all this.</p>
<p>Overcoming the logical mind of your potential customer and appealing to their emotions is just one of the tools used by marketing experts. They have many techniques that will make a poor or average product into an incredible seller.</p>
<p>Once you understand what really motivates people to buy an internet marketing product you will then be able to talk to your own target market far better and make more sales.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keyword research for a pay per click campaign has to be done right, but it doesn’t always have to be long and complicated and take up many hours of your time. In fact, you can do it very successfully in a much shorter short time span. At the end of this article you will learn of a sneaky way of finding the best keywords&#8230; from your competition!<span id="more-353"></span></p>
<p>Before you do anything else, first download and install the free version of Good Keywords, which is at version 3 at the time of writing. This will help you to sort and organize your keyword lists and much more.</p>
<p><strong>Now you can find your keywords.</strong></p>
<p>There’s no getting away from the fact that the right keywords are essential for a profitable pay per click campaign but too many can become unmanageable. While some people have many thousands of keywords, a smaller keyword list is much easier to handle.</p>
<p>You can use Wordtracker’s free keyword tool to get a few keyword suggestions for your chosen market and use these to start off your PPC campaign.</p>
<p>One reason to use Wordtracker’s free keyword tool is that it only returns the top 100 based on your root keyword. Any more than that and you might be overwhelmed with too many keywords.</p>
<p>Something you should note about Wordtracker is that the search counts are not very accurate and are probably something like one eighth of the Google search count. The true search count will only become apparent to you when you test your keywords in a real Google Adwords campaign. It’s not the volume of searches for each keyword that matters so much as how well it converts into sales.</p>
<p>Let’s take the paid surveys niche as an example. By focusing on the obvious phrases like ‘paid survey’ or ‘paid surveys’ you are going to find that 80 &#8211; 90% of the sales, traffic and searches are going to come from keywords like that in these smaller markets &#8211; the obvious phrases that people search for.</p>
<p>To get started just enter a few of your root keywords such as ‘paid survey’, ‘paid surveys’, ‘online surveys’ ‘get paid to take surveys’ etc. and enter them onto the free Wordtracker Keyword tool. Once you have your lists of keywords copy and paste them into Notepad.</p>
<p><strong>Now organize your keywords.</strong></p>
<p>You need to enter your keyword list into Good Keywords v3 to clean it up and get rid of any duplicate keywords.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s how…</strong></p>
<p>(1)  Have your keyword list open and ready in Notepad.</p>
<p>(2)  Run the Good Keywords v3 software.</p>
<p>(3)  Select the ‘Keyword Manager’ tab.</p>
<p>(4)  Select Add on the Input List section.</p>
<p>(5) Paste your list from Notepad into the ‘Add Keywords’ box that appears.</p>
<p>(6)  Click on Duplicate on the ‘Remove Unwanted’ section to remove duplicates.</p>
<p>7)  Next, go to the ‘Output’ section and select Copy to Clipboard.</p>
<p>(8)  Paste these keywords back into Notepad</p>
<p>(9)  Divide them into groups ready to put them onto Adwords.</p>
<p>Right, you now have a tidy list of keywords but how do you know if they are any good for PPC?</p>
<p>I suppose you could simply start a new PPC campaign to test them out but it might cost you a bit before you know if they are any good. However, there is a much better way to find out which keywords will convert&#8230;by spying on your competition!</p>
<p>Discovering your competitors’ keywords is one way that you can manually compile a good list of keywords for your pay per click campaign. After all, they have done all the keyword research and are already making money from it.  You may think that doing this is a little unethical but I can assure you that others will do it to you given a chance.</p>
<p>There is software available that will show you what keywords other people use in their pay per click campaigns, which is a sure way of gathering relevant keywords for your Adwords campaign. Some of it is quite expensive though.</p>
<p>Of course, you can spy on your competitors&#8217;  manually if you knew where to start, but it is time-consuming and tedious to say the least, so why not make it easier on yourself?</p>
<p>One piece of software I can recommend that will do most of  this for you  is Affiliate Espionage created by a PPC . This will expose your competitors’ profitable PPC campaigns very easily.</p>
<ul>
<li>Compiles keywords an advertiser is bidding on,</li>
<li>Identifies which affiliate networks they are using,</li>
<li>Identifies if they are affiliates or not,</li>
<li>Locates other sites the competition owns</li>
<li>and so much more..</li>
</ul>
<p>The good thing is that it&#8217;s very inexpensive compared to other keyword spy tools but still delivers good results. If you want a shortcut to getting the best keywords for your Adwords campaigns then it could be just the thing you need.</p>

Right, you now have a tidy list of keywords but how do you know if they are any good for PPC?  I suppose you could simply start a new PPC campaign to test them out but it might cost you a bit before you know if they are any good. However, there is a much better way to find out which keywords will convert, by spying on your successful competitors.  Discovering your competitors’ keywords is one way that you can manually compile a good list of keywords for your pay per click campaign. After all, they have done all the keyword research and are already making money from it.  You may think that doing this is a little unethical but I can assure you that others will do it to you given a chance.  There is software available that will show you what keywords other people use in their pay per click campaigns, which is a sure way of gathering relevant keywords for your Adwords campaign.   Of course, you can do all this manually if you knew where to start, but even then, it is time-consuming and tedious to say the least, so why not make it easier on yourself.  One piece of software that will do all this is Affiliate Espionage. This will expose your competitors’ profitable PPC campaigns very easily, and it is very inexpensive compared to other tools but still delivers good results.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best website designers around has to be XSitePro 2, a powerful WYSIWYG editor that allows you to create Web pages in a visual environment. You can design all of your Web pages without having to write a single line of code.</p>
<p>But what makes it so special for internet marketing? We&#8217;ll come to that later.</p>
<p><a href="http://digitalzips.com/go/xsitepro/" target="_blank"><img class="center off" src="http://digitalzips.com/images/xsitepro.jpg" alt="XSite Pro Website" /></a><br />
<span id="more-294"></span></p>
<h2>Easy to use point-and-click interface</h2>
<p><a title="XSitePro Website" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/xsitepro/" target="_blank">XSitePro 2</a> was designed to be easy to use, even by complete novices, while at the same time offering some of the most powerful features offered in any Internet software. Adding in all the other special capabilities makes it a great choice for building a website.</p>
<h2>Lots of ready-made templates</h2>
<p>For a start, it comes with tons of ready-made templates that means you can change the look of a site in seconds. Design Wizards will help you dramatically speed things up by providing quick access to frequently needed Web page elements such as graphics, text boxes, and text styles.</p>
<p><a href="http://digitalzips.com/go/xsitepro/" target="_blank"><img class="center off" src="http://digitalzips.com/images/xsitepro-templates.jpg" alt="XSitePro Templates" /></a></p>
<h2>Why it&#8217;s great for internet marketers</h2>
<p><strong>You can create sales letters fast</strong></p>
<p>If you want to make money by selling your own products, then XSitePro has ready-made sales letter templates just for this purpose, where you can easily add a PayPal Buy Now button directly from the software. Visitors visit your sales page, make a payment via PayPal then download their purchase, all on autopilot. You can start making sales from your site in minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Organize and cloak your ugly affiliate links</strong></p>
<p>And, if you are promoting affiliate products on your site, XSitePro 2 helps you to organize all the different affiliate programs you have joined.</p>
<p>You can store your affiliate links and quickly insert them into your pages with just a couple of clicks of your mouse. Not only that, XSitePro can even create a redirect page for you to disguise your affiliate links if you want.</p>
<p><strong>Easily add Adsense and Amazon ads</strong></p>
<p>You can quickly add Adsense or Amazon ads and customize them to integrate with your website design. Just store your publisher ids and channels, and with just a couple of clicks, your site is monetized.</p>
<h2>Search engine optimization is now a piece of cake.</h2>
<p>All internet marketers know how important SEO is for getting high rankings in the search engines but it can be difficult to get it right. This is where <a title="XSitePro Website" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/xsitepro/" target="_blank">XSitePro web design software</a> makes things much easier.</p>
<p>XSitePro can analyze your pages and tell you what you need to change to improve the chances of the page not only ranking better with the search engines but also being more readable and accessible to visitors.</p>
<p>This is a big benefit especially for those who have limited knowledge about search engine optimization. Higher rankings means more money in the bank for you.</p>
<h2>Create multiple websites fast.</h2>
<p>If you want to build multiple streams of income by creating individual niche sites then XSitePro may be the quickest way of achieving this. Time spent building sites is wasted time if you are doing it all yourself so it makes sense to speed up the process with the right tool for the job.</p>
<p>If you only want to create a couple of websites then XSitePro may not be the right choice but if you want to build multiple websites quickly, and fully optimized for SEO then it would be hard to beat.</p>
<p>XSitePro has some great timesaving features included to get that website up and running far faster than you could with something like DreamWeaver. XSitePro will save you hours and hours of time and frustration when building new sites or adding to your existing sites. You can build just the kind of site you want with point and click ease.</p>
<p>Of course, XSitePro is not perfect but what is? It has a learning curve like most powerful programs but once you get the hang of it you can churn out website after website very quickly.</p>
<p>And when you add in sales letter templates, its SEO capabilities and wizards for RSS feeds, video, audio, forms, widgets and site maps then you begin to realize just how useful it is for internet marketers.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s even a video  which shows how easy it is to <a title="XSitePro Shopping Cart Video" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/xsiteproshoppingcart/" target="_blank">integrate a shopping cart using XSitePro</a>.</p>
<p><a title="XSitePro Website" href="http://www.xsitepro.com/index_r.html?p=tbratley&amp;w=home" target="_blank">XSitePro website design software</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re anything like me, you subscribe to tons of email lists to keep in touch with what’s happening in the internet marketing scene. The downside of this is that every time you check your email it’s flooded with the latest ‘guru’ product launch from multiple affiliates.</p>
<p>It seems that everyone has written a course, an ebook or some other product that &#8216;guarantees&#8217; you online success. To be honest, it can be quite tiresome having to delete them every day.<span id="more-279"></span></p>
<p>The truth is that most of these courses are similar to each other and won’t make you any money just like the last one you bought. I think all of us have been disappointed by a product that was nothing more than a rehash of another one.</p>
<p>Because of this glut of internet marketing products, it can be really hard finding one that, if followed diligently, will help you to make money online.</p>
<p>But thankfully, once in a while there is one worth looking at.</p>
<p>AffiloBlueprint 2.0 is the brainchild of highly successful maketer Mark Ling and his Affilorama team, and claims to be a complete blueprint for creating successful affiliate sites.</p>
<p>When the first version of the course was released last year, Mark actually used this formula to create a site in front of a live audience – a site that ended up making $500 per week in profit!</p>
<p>In this new updated version of AffiloBlueprint, Mark still uses that same successful methodology, but this time with an even better format and more in-depth lessons.</p>
<p>What is this &#8216;formula&#8217; exactly?</p>
<p>The core principle of AffiloBlueprint is that you build multiple websites, in any niche you like as long as there are buyers there. Once set up each site could be bringing in a conservative estimate of $50 per week each, which can really add up with just a few sites.</p>
<p>Therefore, you will have multiple income streams, each one steadily adding to your profits. Then all you have to do is repeat the process over and over again.</p>
<p>This is all very straightforward so far, but Mark then shows you how to really turn on the money tap from those affiliate sites by reinvesting some of your profits. Instead of you making something like $50 a week from each site he will show you how to step up the earnings from each one into thousands a week.</p>
<p>The thing about this way of creating affiliate sites is that they are simple to set up and are a proven way of making a good income from affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>But it must be done correctly for it to work and AffiloBlueprint 2.0 shows you exactly how to do it.</p>
<p>In essence, it is a comprehensive 12 week program split into 40 step by step lessons in which you will learn advanced affiliate techniques.</p>
<p>The only problem I can foresee for anyone buying AffiloBlueprint is that it has too much information.</p>
<p>This might seem a strange statement but having so much information to go through could tempt them to skip vital parts of it in their excitement to get started. Hands up all those who are guilty of that (including me).</p>
<p>This is where so many people go wrong. They get so excited once they see how simple it can be to make money online that they want to get stuck in straight away and don’t follow the step by step guidelines.</p>
<p>Everything you will fine in AffiloBlueprint is there for one reason &#8211; to help you to become successful online. If you follow it properly, you will almost certainly be able to make a successful site.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t made a website before, AffiloBlueprint also comes with a ready-made Wordpress template, created by affiliate marketing experts to build your site.</p>
<p>It’s clear that he has gone to a lot of trouble to make this product as newbie-friendly as possible. Mark explains everything in minute detail and there is no assumption of knowledge, so if you are just starting out, this product is for you.</p>
<p>This is possibly one of the best explained strategies I&#8217;ve seen on affiliate marketing. I can see why Mark makes over 1 million dollars a year as an affiliate. He GETS it. Don&#8217;t be taken in by the imposters – this guy is a legitimate expert, and he runs one of the best affiliate training sites on the web.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read stuff from most of the &#8216;gurus&#8217;, I&#8217;ve never seen anyone break it down into such an easy formula. Some of the other things I&#8217;ve read leave me wondering “but how do you make THAT much money,” but Mark&#8217;s system makes it really simple and easy to understand.</p>
<p>Even those with some experience with affiliate marketing will still find the systematic structure of AffiloBlueprint helpful. This could be what you need to build up your income or revive your under-performing sites.</p>
<p>All in all, I can recommend AffiloBlueprint as one of the best affiliate educational products I&#8217;ve seen. Mark Ling is only making it available for one week so they can offer customer support, so I would get in while you can.</p>
<p>You can find the AffiloBlueprint website here:</p>
<p><a title="Affilo Blueprint" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/affiloblueprint/" target="_blank">http://www.affilorama.com/affiloblueprint</a></p>
<p>P.S.</p>
<p>The very first product I ever sold online from my very first website was one of Marks and it wasn&#8217;t in the internet marketing niche. You could say he got me started on all this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://digitalzips.com/go/rsmonopoly/" target="_blank"><img class="center off" src="http://digitalzips.com/images/affiliate-review-monopoly.jpg" alt="Affiliate Review Site Monopoly" /></a><br />
Review sites can be found all over the internet and there&#8217;s no doubt that some affiliate marketers are making plenty of money from them. In fact, I have a few single page review sites of my own, but they don&#8217;t get a lot of natural search engine traffic so I have to resort to PPC to generate it.</p>
<p>Of course, free search engine traffic would be much better but the review site structure has to be done in the right way to bring in visitors.<span id="more-261"></span> Of course, this means adding good content in the form of relevant articles so that it is not seen as a thin affiliate site by the search engines.</p>
<p>You probably know that most of these give out fake reviews and the trouble is many people are catching on to these kinds of sites. They don&#8217;t have any visitor value and the bounce rate is high. Let&#8217;s face it; some of them look like they were created in the internet equivalent of the Stone Age.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t blame people for not trusting them if they look so phony. Nowadays a review site really needs something more than just a single page to convince visitors that you are an authority on the subject. You need one that will get them to check out your recommendations and then buy something through your affiliate link.</p>
<p>What this all means is you need a review site template that is specifically designed to bring in the search engine spiders and, more importantly, impress your visitors when they get there.</p>
<p>If you have ever read Jeremy Palmer&#8217;s <a title="Black Ink Project 2" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/blackinkproject/" target="_blank">Black Ink Project</a> you will know why the right site structure is so important. He nearly got his review sites banned by Google so he had to completely change how they were made. The Black Ink Project is his story of how he builds an affiliate site from the ground up.</p>
<p>In Black Ink 2.0, you get to follow Jeremy&#8217;s progress as he puts together a mini review site, from building wire frames for the site, to outsourcing the graphical design and all the backend code to run the thing. The cost of all this was about $1000. It also took more than six weeks to implement.</p>
<p>The videos show you exactly how Jeremy designs a site from scratch and I had some fun making my own version, which was a pretty accurate clone of his when done. It&#8217;s somewhere on my hard drive right now if I can find it.</p>
<p>I was thinking about getting some review site templates designed for me but the cost and the hassle of dealing with outsource workers put me off.</p>
<p>Luckily, one of the Black Ink 2.0 followers decided that it would be handy to have a piece of software that could create an optimized mini review site just like Jeremy&#8217;s. A lot easier than having to jump through all the hoops of making your own from scratch. And way cheaper than outsourcing.</p>
<p>So this guy &#8211; his name is Stephen Carter &#8211; built a program to do just that. Turns out he was a top software developer looking at The Black Ink Project as a way of expanding his marketing skills.</p>
<p>To be honest, I have heard these kinds of claims before, so I almost didn&#8217;t bother checking this out. But was I pleasantly surprised. This guy&#8217;s mini review site software does just what he claims. Go check out the demo site at <a title="Build a Review Site" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/rsmonopoly/" target="_blank">Affiliate Review Site Monopoly</a> to see what I mean.</p>
<p>Seriously, this software practically does all the work of building a review site for you. Review pages, articles, and an automatic product comparison page. And every page appears to be completely SEO optimized. It even has a list-building form and a search engine built in!</p>
<p>Another great thing is that you can add a Wordpress blog that matches your review site perfectly. I don&#8217;t need to tell you how important this is for SEO purposes.</p>
<p>Ok, I still had to write some product reviews for my chosen niche, but that was pretty much the hardest part of it. And I did it all in less than 48 hours, which is a great time saving. You could even outsource this part if you want.</p>
<p>As someone who has gone through <a title="Black Ink Project 2" href="http://digitalzips.com/go/blackinkproject/" target="_blank">The Black Ink Project</a> videos &#8211; there&#8217;s a lot to learn before you can turn a profit. Cutting down on expenses by automating the building of review sites is a huge advantage to affiliates, especially if you are just starting out and are short of cash.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s the best part. Stephen is actually GIVING AWAY a software license with every copy of his ebook about running successful review sites.</p>
<p>With this mini review site software, you can quickly build niche affiliate review sites cheaply and without any of the risk that normally goes with these projects.</p>
<p>But having the right software is not the only thing you need to make a success of your review site.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s vital to avoid the mistakes that will cause your review site to fail before you even realize that you have a problem. You want a profitable review site that exudes authority not some lame excuse for one. The book will tell you everything you need to know about creating your own profitable review site.</p>
<p><em>I would go so far as to say this about the book.</em></p>
<p>You shouldn&#8217;t even think about making your first review site without it. And with the software as a bonus, you could have your review site up in a couple of days. Then you can repeat the process in another niche, eventually bringing in multiple income streams on virtual autopilot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you would like to increase your online sales, it’s a great idea to start an affiliate program.</p>
<p>Why is this so important? Because with your own affiliate program, you will get other people to do most of your promoting for you. With affiliate partners on board you will multiply all your sales efforts with the result that everyone benefits.</p>
<p>You get vastly increased sales and your affiliate partners make money too. You might think that paying affiliates a percentage of each sale will mean you making less profit but the opposite is actually true.<span id="more-253"></span>  Would you rather have 50% of 100 sales made by your affiliates or 100% of a few sales you made yourself? Thought so.</p>
<p>When they help to generate sales, you get paid and they get the commission.  Most internet users and business owners see affiliate programs as a win-win situation and they are.</p>
<p><strong>Should you let anyone join your affiliate program?</strong></p>
<p>You might be asking if it matters who you let into your affiliate program.</p>
<p>Although affiliate programs are a great way of increasing sales and thus making more profit, you have to be careful because some affiliate programs are not suitable for everyone who wants to join.</p>
<p>Some would advocate letting anyone interested join the program but others have tighter rules and limitations. It all depends on what you are selling and who wants to promote it for you.</p>
<p>If you are just starting out you can&#8217;t afford to be too fussy, but you&#8217;ll still need to use sound judgment. It might not be wise to accept an affiliate that has questionable videos, picture, or content on their website. In most circumstances, it&#8217;s common sense to avoid websites that use excessive bad language or have pornographic videos and pictures on them.</p>
<p><strong>What information should your affiliates provide?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not always necessary to create a detailed application form for interested applicants to complete.  If you use a third-party affiliate-hosting site, you may need to make a special note to the administrator.  </p>
<p>These websites often have their own standard applications. If your brand image is very important, get the name of the website your links, banners, company name, and products will be displayed on.  Make sure it is consistent with your views and company image before you approve their application.</p>
<p>This is very important if your company name or products are linked-to on the website.</p>
<p>You have your reputation to protect after all.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t be afraid to reject some applicants.</strong></p>
<p>You might not want to let just anyone into your affiliate program. With that said, rejecting an applicant might be easier than doing it. You may feel bad for the applicant but you are running a business not a charity.  </p>
<p>If it will make you feel better, offer a brief explanation. If the applicant is on the right track, but not there, provide a few tips.  Encourage them to implement these tips and then reapply for the program.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t expect to see results from your affiliates immediately.</strong> </p>
<p>If you set about selling a product or a service, you already know that it takes time to get it created and launched. It might have taken you months to write that book, proofread, and edit it. After all that, you then had to design a cover and upload your sales page to the web.  </p>
<p>If you are new to all this you probably launched your product before deciding on starting an affiliate program for it.</p>
<p>You will then have realized that just because a product or website is online, it doesn’t mean people will find it. It’s the same with your affiliate program.  It may take applicants some time to find out about the affiliate opportunity you are offering.  It may take even longer for them to generate sales for you.  </p>
<p>It takes a little patience so never give up on an affiliate program before you’ve given it every chance to succeed  If after that point, you are still losing money, it&#8217;s time to call it quits on that particular project. </p>
<p><strong>Make sure to invest time in your affiliates.</strong></p>
<p>Whether it be a consistent top performer or a new affiliate who looks promising, keep in touch with them via email with tips and suggestions on how to improve sales.  Make it easy for them to promote your product by providing them with good sales materials, and reward those who do especially well as an incentive to do even better. </p>
<p>This will encourage your affiliates to actively promote your company and products, and reward them for a job well done.  Always be available or hire an affiliate manager to take questions, complaints, and suggestions.  A happy affiliate will do the most for your company and your bottom line will improve accordingly.</p>
<p>There are many ways to run your own affiliate program but never forget the ultimate aim.</p>
<p>Your affiliate program is there to promote your company or the products you sell.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me guess&#8230;</p>
<p>You have a hard drive full of PLR or Resale Rights products and you&#8217;ve been looking for a way to get them off your computer and onto the web making you money.</p>
<p>Good idea but you then ask yourself&#8230; where do I begin?</p>
<p>I know exactly how you feel. Most of us have been there and the unlucky ones still are. Getting a new product ready to market is not that easy.</p>
<p>On the face of it you just need to create a sales site that will handle payments and automate the delivery of your product. But there are more pieces to a good sales system than most people realize.<span id="more-231"></span></p>
<p><strong>There are so many things to think about&#8230;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Will your sales page convert?</li>
<li>How can you test it?</li>
<li>How do you set up a payment processor?</li>
<li>How do you set up a back-end product &#8211; or a One-Time Offer?</li>
<li> How do you protect your downloads?</li>
</ul>
<p>And if you do finally make sales do you have a way to automatically add your new customers to your list so that you can sell some more stuff to them? After all, a list full of buyers is worth far more than a list of freebie seekers.</p>
<p>The trouble is, at the start you probably won&#8217;t have a HUGE, responsive list to promote your products to so to speed things up you need to get some affiliates on board to promote for you.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no getting away from the fact that recruiting affiliates is the best way to leverage your time, and make more lots more money. All the top marketers do it so why not you?</p>
<p><strong>But then you need to know&#8230;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How do you recruit and pay affiliates?</li>
<li>And what about JV Partners?</li>
</ul>
<p>All this can be a little overwhelming to say the least!</p>
<p>To do all this complicated stuff you must have some kind of system that will automate the entire sales process and get affiliates and JV&#8217;s to promote your products for you.</p>
<p><strong>So what do you actually need to sell digital products?</strong></p>
<p>Of course you can pay a couple of thousand dollars for Mike Filsaime&#8217;s <a href="http://digitalzips.butterflymarketing.com" target="_blank">Butterfly Marketing</a> script which is a great product but a little pricey for people just getting started. If you do  have your own products to sell and can afford it then I highly recommend that you buy it.</p>
<p>But there is an alternative to the Butterfly Marketing script that won&#8217;t break the bank and is used by many successful marketers, not just newbies. It can do much of what the Butterfly Marketing script can do but without the high price ticket.</p>
<p><strong>The alternative?</strong></p>
