7 Advanced Affiliate Marketing Strategies

2008-04-24T13:35:00.002+02:00

If you want to make more money as an affiliate promoting
other people's products, you have to set yourself apart
from other affiliates. Here are seven advanced strategies
that will help you do so:

1. Mailing List

Build your own mailing list of prospects. Keep promoting
different affiliate programs to the people on your list, as
opposed to losing the visitor forever once they clicked
over to the merchant's site.

2. Success Stories

Write an inspirational success story on how this product
helped you or someone you know. After identifying with
your success story, many people will be ready to buy.

3. Reviews

Write a detailed review of the product with pros and cons.
Of course, the pros should outweigh the cons. People will
trust the review much more than a sales pitch.

4. Pay Per Click

Try Pay Per Click advertising on Google Adwords and
Overture. Start out with a small budget to test the
waters. If your sales commissions are greater than the cost
of advertising, continue and expand your Pay Per Click
campaign.

5. Blogs

Start a blog on a subject relevant to affiliate programs
that you promote. Add affiliate links to your posts.
Search engines love blogs, so you will get a lot of
traffic.

6. Articles

Write articles releated to the product or service you
promote. At the end of your articles, include your author
bio with your affiliate link. Other websites will publish
your articles and bring you free targeted traffic.

7. Tracking

Always track how many visitors you are sending to each
affiliate program, and how many sales you get from those
visitors. This way you will separate the winning affiliate
programs from the losers, and focus on promoting the most
profitable ones.

How you can make money online without spending a dime.

2008-04-20T14:53:00.003+02:00

Is it really true that one can actually make money online with out spending a dime?Having spent quite a while now online making money in different ways including Affiliating,this question has really been going on and on in my head until now.I have heard of many people doing it like a challenge in different way like making money with absolutely $0,with out a website,or within a given period of time.Derek Gehl for example just put out a challenge which is starting tomorrow 21-24 of April, for those of you who do not know him he is one of the top Internet Gurus and if you have been online for a while now you most have passed through ,if not used one of his product.He just set up a challenge to build a money making site in under4 days yes you read it correct 4 days.
Look my friend if you have ever tried or are preparing to build a good money making site you probably know the amount of work and time let alone the money it takes to;
Day #1: Find your niche and a product to sell

Day #2: Write salescopy that gets people to BUY

Day #3: Build a website that WORKS!

Day #4: Start driving traffic with PPC and SEO
That is what Derek will be proving to the world tomorrow.From the rumors i have heard i do not know if they really are true that he will be using one of his newest creation called BeBiz.BeBiz basically is an easy-to-use wizard driven system that guides you every step of the way as you create your own Internet business; from finding profitable markets to creating a winning salesletter to taking your first orders.

Well that is for those who want to build their own Internet business from scratch yet do not want to lose a lot of money or go through all that difficulty that it entails to build a money making website.For those who do not have the money to start or who just want to raise a couple of bucks without spending a dime keep reading.
Now the most popular way to make money with $0 is either by writing article or starting a blog from free blogging sites like blogger.com.Although it sounds easy to do, doing it right requires some hard work from your part .(for example finding a passionate niche).Now you must be wandering why i used the word passionate, well it is because writing about what you love make the work a little easier.Finding a niche a niche can cost you some money to buy a software like wordtraker but you can go around that by using free yahoo overtures or registering with nicheaday.com.What nicheaday.com does is it sends you new niches every day for free which you can write an article about.
Before you kick off writing, you will need first to look for an affiliate product that relates to your niche.You will easily find products to sell for an affiliate commission at Click bank.After selecting the right product for your niche you can now write an article including your links using this code

<a href="Affiliate link">
click here</a>

(Replacing " affiliate link" with your actual affiliate link for the product you are affiliating and click here with any promotional text or image you prefer).Using this code will help your article to look less clumsy with long affiliate links and more professional with a hoplink since it will not look like you are out to make money instead of providing information . Most article posting sites will not even accept affiliate links in article posted on their site.After writing your article you can submit your article in any article directories like www.submityourarticle.com(you can check out more from Google)

Another free way to make money with $0 is by writing blogs.Writing blogs is almost the same like article writing only that you will have a blogging site of your own and will advertise your blog by your self.It is even better to start with a blog and then when the blog is up and running you start writing articles.By so doing when you post your article you can include a Bio which will lead more traffic to your blog.There are other much easier way which does not require much work on your part like joining social clubs that pays you to do what ever you like.A good example of a social club that pays is yuwie.Yuwie operates exactly like my space social club but the only difference is that you get paid to post picture,blog,and socialize.

There are much more details on article writing and blogging that i have not explained here but with the basic explanation above you can start making some affiliate commission with $0 today. As time goes on i will be writing more details on articles and blogs so keep posted by book marking this site.Go get started Now good luck.

Are Search Engines a kind of Public Service?

2008-04-13T15:14:00.002+02:00

Long time before i started doing business online i thought like many people still do that Search engines were a kind of public service when they're really business like any other.

The ultimate goal of online entrepreneurs is to pull in lots of traffic to their websites.You will agree with me that any business whether on or off line without traffic (or potential customers) that business is doomed to fail.Lets examine the business model of a typical online business.

-A typical online business will use free or paid advertisements and other ways including offering free gifts to pull in lots of traffic.
-When these traffic lands on the site they are presented with a sales copy.What this sales copy does is let these traffic to better understand what the site is offering.
-It is only after that these leads will decide to or not to buy in on what the site is offering.When they do buy in $-ka-ching the site makes money.

So now what am i getting at ?Well it is in this same way the search engines do operate though slightly different.Lets look at the business model of search engines for a while.

-The search engines offers a free forum were any one can expose their information, product or services to the entire world.It also offers a free place were people can search for almost every thing specifically ranging from information ,products to services online.
-As people are being attracted by the free information the search engine provide they are being presented not with a sales copy as a typical online business will do ,but with the search results they are looking for.Now this search result usually contains a mixture of two types of listings.

Natural or "organic"listings:These are sites containing information that are relevant to the search being performed(how the search engines decide if a site is relevant is a whole topic on its own)

Paid or "Sponsored"listings:These are sites whose owners have paid to get listed in top results for specific search terms.

This is were it gets interesting when a searcher clicks on any of the sponsored listing,the site's owner pays the search engine for driving traffic to their site and the search engines $$-ka-ching makes money.

To conclude Google ,Yahoo,windows live search (formerly known as MSN search),Ask.com and all the others are businesses just like any online business.These search engines generate the greatest amount of their income from advertising fees.Actually 99% of Google's revenue, for example,comes from advertising.

The Truth Behind Free Affiliate Network Marketing Programs.

2008-04-11T09:13:00.002+02:00

When the thought of making money online came to my head i thought it was that easy , boy am i the only one who thinks like this? I guess not .Looking now back at my experience on making money online really gets me thinking , how many people are still out there look at affiliate network marketing as a scam.

I started my online money making experience with free to earn programs.This is because first it was free and all i had to do was to click some links or read some mails things like that but it was not as easy as it sounds.The fact is to make a substantial amount of money with these programs you need to duplicate your efforts by recruiting others and teaching them what you do.In my case i did not know how to recruit others even though it was free to join ,so after clicking and reading mails every single day unfailingly for at least 3 hours for some months and realising that i made almost nothing i came to the conclusion that it was all a scam so i stopped.Is that true?NO .There are many people making big money from free to earn programs for example the owner of marketing pond.

Now having failed in the first program I had to look for other free programsto join and that went on and on, ,joining one program after another.Counting from the top of my head I probably joint about a hundred and even more different affiliate network marketing programs.What was my major problem? Good question,the major problem I was facing at the time was not knowing how to recruit others to duplicate my efforts.After knowing what my problem was i had to first learn how to to recruit and teach others what I was Doing.With out learning this i could not succeed i any affiliate program no matter whether it was the best program or product on the net.That is when i started the search of what changed the way i look at any Internet business.

After searching the web to get the best advertising knowledge i came across this guy call Derek Gehl who for eight years have been producing a fundamental foundation course for Internet marketing which i call the Internet Bible.In this course i learned how to write killer Ads,were and how to advertise and much more ,it is really an Internet Bible folks.If you want to safe your self the hazards of doing any form of business online or you just want to avoid falling in the hands of scam artist and losing your hard earn money on any affiliate network marketing program (i do not care whether they have the best product or promise to take you by the hand step by step to success)like i did then i highly recommend the Internet Bible for you.

So the point of all this is that there are many good reliable affiliate network marketing programs out there in the web today just as there are scams but unless you learn how to recruit and teach your recruits how to duplicate your efforts you will always look at all the programs as scams because you are unable to make money from them
