Secret Affiliate Income - Tips from Frank Michaels

Affiliate marketing is one of the best methods to earn quick money through the internet. It is a low cost business because you do not have to fork out a large sum of capital, unlike offline business where huge capital is involved. For online business, you can begin with a simple website and work your way into a full time business.

For affiliate marketing, the first thing you need to do is to find products or services which you want sell. Your main objective would be to drive targeted traffic to your website, so that they will buy the product through your link, and you will be able to earn commissions this way.

There are many ways for you to drive traffic online, you can use pay per click method, article writing or by building a list of responsive prospects. Which ever method you use, the main thing is to drive targeted traffic to your site, you will need to be precise and provide your prospects with a solution that they are looking for exactly.

As for pay per click affiliate (PPC) marketing strategy, you will set up small ads with a link back to your site. When it comes to PPC, it is crucial that you choose those highly targeted keywords for your niche for a better conversion and in turn, much higher revenue percentage. Same goes for article marketing and list building methods.

As an affiliate marketer, your main task would be to generate targeted traffic for your merchant. You need to keep in mind that those traffic that you drive to the site will eventually turn into money for you.

Make Money With This Free Video

2009-11-05T18:39:00.003-05:00

There are a number of ways to make money with affiliate marketing. Some use articles, some do videos or podcasts, blogs are always a great idea, and your opt-in mailing list should always be your biggest source of affiliate marketing commissions.

But just WHAT you're promoting makes a big difference too - for example, a one-off sale is usually much easier to make than selling someone into a membership, while a membership sale can mean good repeat (residual) commissions. In most cases the higher the price tag the higher the commission payable, but most affiliates find the difficulty goes up in proportion to the item's price.

Once in a long while though, a different type of affiliate offer surfaces, as evidenced by Russell Brunson's 12 Month Internet Millionaire 2.0 This is one you want to jump on right now, because the opportunity only lasts ONE WEEK.

Free Resources For Online Marketing

2009-11-01T19:37:00.001-05:00

If any one thing separates online marketing from offline marketing it's the amount of free training available for Internet marketing, affiliate marketing and/or niche marketing. Nowhere in the offline world do so many people offer you the training you need to grow your skillset and directly compete with them - especially for free!

GM doesn't offer free training in how to build a car, Coca-Cola doesn't teach you how to make syrup for soda pop and the Mint doesn't teach you how to print money (unfortunately LOL). Yet all over the Internet 6, 7 and 8-figure marketers like ourselves are offering sites, blogs, e-books, audios and videos to teach you just that - how to join us in the ranks of successful Internet marketers making more than we've ever made in the offline world.

It's not surprising when you understand the nature of the business, though. First, there is much more collaboration between marketers in the Online world - joint ventures represent a HUGE portion of the products and promotions online, and are a necessity for big launches. Free training is also often used as a lead-in, whether to a paid product or a membership, or as an incentive to get targeted prospects to opt-in to our newsletters.

There really isn't anything more to say, other than affiliates will also love the brandable e-books, pre-written ClickBank product e-mails and opt-in pages there - but you'll have to explore the various options and services yourself to see what, if anything, you want to order other than the free bundle - THAT'S a must-have for Internet marketers & affiliate marketers alike!

Internet Marketing Advice To See You Through The Current Global Recession

2009-09-13T16:17:00.003-04:00

Here's some Internet marketing honesty you won't see many places: right now online marketing sucks. Oh, it still beats pretty much every other form of work-at-home business, but the numbers are way off compared to a year ago.

If you're an old pro at Internet marketing I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but as an industry we seem to be afraid of telling newbies that things aren't all champagne and roses at the moment. The truth is, even with sales down so badly as a result of the recession, there are still plenty of 6, 7 and 8 figure marketers online - we're just not making AS MUCH as we were until the recession hit.

While the worldwide scope of Internet marketing protects us from most localized downturns, a global recession HAS to impact us, and every big marketer I've talked to agrees sales have been off 50% or more since the last week of April, compared to earlier this year or last year. But nobody's talking about it publicly, and it's become the 'elephant in the room' that no one can ignore.

You can see evidence of it all over the online world - in fact, to a big extent it's separated the order-takers from the marketers. The order-takers - those without a marketing background - are trying to compensate by dropping their prices to $1 and $2.95 to try and get more people to buy. This creates a negative spiral - they're still not getting enough total income to survive, and have to be constantly rushing new products (mostly resell rights products) to the market. You see them sending out a new product every third day now...

Don't misunderstand - these are people that were doing well before the downturn hit. It's just that they come from all walks of life before coming online, and don't have experience marketing through a recession. Most of this group got by entirely on resell rights and private label rights products, and don't have their own materials to throw into the pot.

The true marketers, on the other hand, haven't dropped prices, but instead have added value to both their sales process and their products. From releasing great training videos to offering free e-books, they've upped the ante and moved the 'free line' to pay it forward by offering helpful content BEFORE the visitor even sees a salespage. Then they've added more content to their product or included bonuses to beef up the value while holding the price line.

All of that hasn't protected them from the recession, but at least it allows them to make as much as possible during this period and maintains the perceived value of their products. And it's a lot less work than preparing a different product every 2 or 3 days...

Mind you, the smartest ones are putting in extra effort now too - looking for marketing tactics they haven't yet incorporated into their strategies, such as podcasts, videos, press releases, etc. When Willie Crawford and I recorded the Top Traffic Tips we highlighted 15 different ways to promote your site and products, and few of us use all 15 regularly. But a little extra time now to develop additional targeted traffic streams can pay off both instantly and down the road.

So, with all of that, how can you both protect your current market share and best position yourself for the recovery?

How To Succeed At Making Money Online

© Doug Champigny. All Rights Reserved.

Each of us in Internet marketing is at a different point in what we do, same as each of us has different goals for the future. But some steps have been shown to be a part of the Internet marketing success path no matter who we are or what we want from our online marketing efforts...

Speaking at a number of Internet marketing seminars, being a guest at a lot more of them, doing teleseminars and being interviewed, being on the inside of top-level joint ventures (JVs), etc, etc, I've talked to thousands of people doing business online in the past number of years, and found that those at or near the top got there mostly through one of two routes to online marketing success:

A) They came into the online marketing industry with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to put into their online business and bought their way to success online, or

B) They pretty much followed the same Internet marketing path to success as what I'm about to show you - the route most take to go from newbie to six-figures a year online and beyond.

Step One: As you start to learn the online marketing business, your first profits come from affiliate marketing, since it's the easiest and cheapest way to get started in your own business online...

Step Two: As your confidence grows will more affiliate marketing success, you start to pick up products with Master Resell Rights and put them online, adding to the profits you make each month...

Step Three: Using the knowledge you've gained in steps 1 & 2, you start to pick up PLR products, convert them to your own unique offerings and get those online to brand yourself, boost your sales and get your affiliate links out in front of a lot more people...

Opt-In List Building Breakthrough

2009-06-03T06:09:00.003-04:00

In Internet Marketing, there's no denying that list building is perhaps the most important aspect - after all, how often have you heard that the ‘money is in the list’? Every morning, like clockwork, I send out our e-zine and by the end of the day have banked another few hundred dollars on average. So it’s safe to say that without our optin lists it would take a lot more effort to stay in the 6-7 figure a year range.

Another important part of Internet marketing is the networking we do with other marketers, usually resulting in lasting friendships. One such friend is Socrates Socratous, the kid from a tiny village in Cypress who is now the rich young Californian dude - so rich he’s taking a TWO-MONTH VACATION back home in Cypress this summer - not too shabby, eh? I didn’t really know Socrates til I was asked to be a speaker at his Internet Marketing Seminar in Sandusky Ohio in 2007, but when I met him he was charming, intelligent, polite - and a great guy all-round. So we’ve kept in touch…

But wouldn’t you know it, he still keeps secrets - even from me! It was just this week I found out he’s been hiding a major new list-building secret from me - and it turns out it’s one I’ve never even HEARD of anyone using before! He’s cracked the code and found a way to get more than 3,000 new signups from each little set-and-forget foray he makes into list building - and his list is now over 200,000 strong! In Internet marketing circles, that’s huge - probably one of the top 50 or 100 lists in the WORLD for our industry!

But what’s even more impressive - pay close attention here - he does this without using his list, his existing traffic, any form of paid advertising… Not even his own sites! In other words, this new form of list-building can be accomplished by a complete newbie with no list, no websites, no blog - and for free! That’s definitely a first in the Internet Marketing world!

Internet Marketing on Twitter

2009-05-20T20:02:00.005-04:00

Twitter has taken the Web 2.0 social networking to a whole new level, and taken both the Internet marketing industry and Internet users in general by storm. As a result, it's also become one of the best tools for Internet marketers - IF you know how to use it correctly for Internet marketing, niche marketing and/or affiliate marketing. In fact, advanced Twitter marketing is one of the fastest ways to get targeted traffic to your sites, blogs and affiliate links and to build your opt-in lists.

To start with, Twitter is known as a 'micro-blogging' site, as it limits your posts, called 'tweets', to 140 characters. While this might seem overly restricitve, remember that the original intended use for tweets was just to answer the question 'What are you doing right now?'

It does take a bit of practice, but once proficient at Twitter you'll find you can convey your message in those short tweets - or at least give people a link to your blog post on the subject. If you're not using Twitter yet, or not familiar enough with the system it employs, start by checking out the information on the Road To Twitter Success website, designed to introduce marketers and businesses to using Twitter commercially.

Twitter is essentially a social site, used by most people to socialize online. But their user base has become so large that any and every viewpoint and niche is now represented well there. Since it can be quick and easy to build a following on Twitter, it has attracted many of the marketers that have found it tough to build a following for their own blogs.

I won't go into the merits of blogs vs Twitter here, because I've already covered that in my post Twitter Marketing or Marketing On Your Blogs - Which Is Better? For our purposes here today, let's just summarize that info and say that for Internet marketing purposes blogs and Twitter should be used in tandem for optimum results.

The secret to success for any business is to provide solutions to your target market. This is true of your Twitter marketing too. If your posts are mostly about the weather, what you had for dinner or what music you're listening to, you won't be building a following that's conducive to marketing on Twitter - you'll be attracting the lonely hearts club who just want someone to interact with online.

Instead, keep the bulk of your posts friendly, informative and niche-focused if you're using Twitter for marketing purposes. Pass along information that helps your target market, including links to your blogs and sites. Pass along informative tweets from those you follow, too. Called 'retweeting', done right this isn't plagiarism but is actually encouraged as one more way to share information. See the blog post Twitter Marketing - Retweet Etiquette on Twitter for the do's and don'ts of retweeting on Twitter.

As you become more proficient at using Twitter for marketing purposes, you'll rapidly find it becoming a major source of targeted traffic - sometimes rivalling the traffic a site or blog gets from the major search engines, especially if the site doesn't score that well on the search engine ranking pages. You'll find some helpful information on getting traffic from Twitter on the Top Traffic Tips blog, such as the Web 2.0 Top Traffic Tip - Maximizing Twitter Traffic blog post.

But while a lot of small business people, Internet marketers and affiliate marketers are using Twitter more and more, most are getting either no or lukewarm results from it becase they have yet to grasp the bigger picture of Twitter marketing and how it ties in with their overall online marketing practices and strategies. As they become more adept at using Twitter and learn the techniques of advanced Twitter marketing they'll see those results improve - often drastically!

Hopefully some of the information I've already posted about advanced Twitter marketing will help a lot of people make money with Twitter, such as Advanced Twitter Marketing For Affiliate Marketing Success for affiliate marketers, and 5 Advanced Twitter Marketing Tips For Small Businesses, designed to help small business people use Twitter more effectively for promoting their onine work-at-home businesses or offline businesses.

So if you're looking to take your Twitter marketing into the profit zone, what should you do next? If you're not already using Twitter for business, start by downloading and watching the step-by-step video training tutorial on using Twitter for business and then set up a new Twitter account focused on your Twitter marketing.

If you're already proficient at using Twitter for business and are looking for more advanced info, visit and bookmark the Advanced Twitter Marketing Blog, where I'll be posting more and more info to help businesses on Twitter. And, of course, follow me on Twitter for real-time marketing tweets. :-)

Later this week I'll be releasing my newest e-book, The Advanced Twitter Marketing System. Included in the bundle will be the case-study of how the system was tested using the Twitter account CaptnAffiliate to build a tightly-targeted following of over 2,000 prospects in under a month, while getting e-zine signups and sales from that following within the first week. Watch this space for updates!

Well no more - here's a source of 10 different OTOs, each with 25 e-books already included, ready to go and just plug into your existing websites.

Build Lists Faster & Make More Online!

2009-04-13T21:01:00.003-04:00

One of the best Internet marketing programmers around, when it comes to creating tools for Internet marketing, is Dave Guindon. Dave lives in British Columbia, Canada, and the cold Canadian winters give Dave lots of time to create, de-bug and perfect new software applications. (Would YOU go outside in Canada in winter??? ) Like the proverbial groundhog, these applicatons usually show their heads in early spring.

This year is no exception - witness the new Exit Splash software that Dave is launching next week - April 21st to be exact. In beta testing, this powerful, tiny bit of coding added hundreds of signups and/or thousands of dollars in sales to some of the testers’ existing sites and launches.

And best of all, Dave has made it push-button simple to use, with much of the work already done for you, even the graphics and audios you’ll want to use with it. Most new tools have a crazy-steep learning curve for Internet marketing newbies, but Dave’s system fixes all that - it really is that simple to use Exit Splash to build your lists and make more money online.

Internet marketing, affiliate marketing or niche marketing - certain truths hold fast regardless of what niche or target audience you’re after, or which business model you’re following. Your opt-in list will always be your main tool, and anything that builds it faster is worth it’s weight in gold!

Beating Your Competition In Affiliate Marketing

2009-04-08T15:55:00.003-04:00

At first glance, affiliate marketing looks like a tough business to prosper in. You may ask how you can succeed and profit from affiliate programs when there are so many other people selling the same products or services. Actually, there are many ways to beat the competition, but the first thing to realize is that the affiliate marketing competition isn’t as fierce as you may think.

First, you should know that of the people who sign up for an affiliate program, only about 10% of them will actually work to market the product or service. The other 90% either won’t do anything at all, or won’t do anything the correct way. So, your affiliate marketing competition isn’t as fierce as you thought it was.

The power of Twitter and WordPress blogs are brought together through a fantastic WordPress plugin called Tweet My Blog. The brainchild of John Merrick and Soren Jordansen, this is one of the most powerful plugins for the Internet marketing, niche marketing and affiliate marketing bloggers.

Once set up in your blog's Plugins section, the software posts your new post titles to your Twitter account with a link bank to the post every time you update your blog. While you could do this manually, we've all gotten too busy at times to do our full proceedures with the Web 2.0 and social networking sites - and other times simply forgotten to let our Twitter followers know that we've posted valuable new information.

Make Money Online with these Free Downloads!

2009-04-01T17:37:00.003-04:00

When first starting out in Internet marketing, affiliate marketing, niche marketing or any other work-at-home online business startup, one of the hardest things to do is to get targeted traffic to your web sites. One of the best ways to do that is to offer free downloads.

If those downloads are valuable information in free e-books that have your own affiliate links in them as well, you can make some affiliate commissions from those free giveaways too - and that's why Jeff Dedrick's Viral E-Book Explosion is such a valable Internet marketing tool - you can download free brandable e-books ready to brand with your own affiliate links and then give them away - and Jeff gives you those e-books as a free download!

Another way to increase profits online is to offer the free e-books from the download pages of any sites, opt-in list builders, etc, that you may already have online. These are referred to in Internet marketing circles as 'backend profits', since you're making more money online from the pages behind the scene as opposed to your actual salespages (the front end).

But giving away free e-books is just one of the powerful backend profit generators professional Internet marketers use - in fact most 'big dog' marketers online make 2 - 10 times more money on the backend than they do on the front end of their sites! If you don't see how powerful this is right off, I suggest you read my Beautiful Backends e-book that covers the concept in detail.

But once again, Internet marketing superstar Jeff Dedrick to the rescue, this time with Jeff Dedrick's Hidden Sales Project. The Hidden Sales Project launched to much fanfare in 2008, teaching people step-by-step how to make more money online - specifically through backend or 'hidden' sales.

Just today, Jeff Dedrick's Hidden Sales Project has been updated for 2009 - and Jeff's making it a free download this time! If you weren't in the Internet marketing field this time last year, or didn't pick up the Hidden Sales Project last year because of the cost, take advantage of Jeff's new-found generosity and download Jeff Dedrick's Hidden Sales Project for free today!
