Well, today is the day…. and I can hardly wait! It’s due to be launched around lunch time today.

I decided that I’ll download the new version and then do a review for you.

… So look out for that later this week.

If you want to find out about the features of XSite Pro Version 1, you read my xsite pro review page.

And that’s because I’ve been busy building my affiliate marketing websites and promoting affiliate products. I love affiliate marketing

But that’s not why I am writing this post now….

I was able to participate in a webinar earlier this evening for the pre-launch of XSite Pro V2. And let me tell you that I am very excited to get my hands on this new version. It’s due to launch on Tuesday 20th May 2008.

The current XSite Pro has so many great features… you can read my xsite pro review to find out more.

The deal is that if you purchase the current version of xsite pro ($197) before Tuesday, you’ll get Xsite Pro Version 2 for free. The expected price for Xsite Pro Version 2 is $297… So buying it now would allow you to save quite a bit

Tomorrow, I’ll talk about some of the features of XSite pro V2.

Till Next Time,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog… hasn’t it? Well the main reason is that I have been quite busy with my affiliate marketing…

Anyways, today I want to introduce you to a Super Affiliate Marketer – Willie Crawford and tell you about a fantastic interview that you should check out.

Willie Crawford has been online since 1996. Apart from being a highly successful affiliate marketer, Willie also has his own products including ebooks, Audios and DVDs.  He is an international speaker and business mentor and owns over 200 active websites.

Now the interview I am talking about is an exclusive interview where Willie is interviewed by Jeremy Gilsason and Simon Hodgkinson (two extremely successful internet marketers). I found that the interview was both interesting and informative, and I want to just highlight two valuable bits of information that Willie talked about in the interview.

1) You should treat your affiliate marketing business as your own business despite the fact that you are actually selling other peoples’ products.

2) You should be building a relationship with the people that visit your website.

Both of these approaches help to build a serious affiliate marketing business.

You should certainly check out the Willie Crawford Interview… And you can get a sample of the interview here.

Well I have some terrific news…

Derek Gehl, the CEO of the Internet Marketing Centre is giving away a massive package of 6 DVDs with an accompanying 147-page worksheet…. you just have to pay for the shipping and handling.

The DVDs contain over 7 hours of live footage from Derek’s wildly popular Internet marketing “bootcamp” seminar. This DVD Package normally sells for $297! But, he is giving away a limited quantity (about 150, I think).

However,  I have noticed that there is a habit, which I had since I first got into affiliate marketing and this whole “make money online” business, that I can’t seem to let go….

… I still have a inclination to search the internet for “what’s the lastest make money online” product

…. Perhaps it’s just that I want to keep up with what’s going on in the industry… but I am aware that it’s a serious set back for new internet marketers…

I am however, significantly less vulnerable to “well written sales pages”… I generally don’t purchase any products further than what I already have (… and I have many) unless I can justify that it would help my online business.

What I really should be doing is concentrating on improving the websites that I already have and using the various internet marketing techniques that I know work, to drive targeted traffic to these websites…. because this is going to further increase my commissions!

I have learned that all it really takes is to:

1) Invest in a high quality course to learn affiliate marketing or one about starting up an internet business (The Internet Marketing Centre’s The Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business On The Internet is a highly recommended course)

2) Invest in high quality internet business resources that you need to operate and maintain your business

3) Implement the strategies and techniques that you learn – Taking Action Is Extremely Important!

I hope this has been helpful…  and I will continue to share my own personal insights on what it takes to make money online…

I have talked about 1) having the right mindset, 2) making an investment to learn affiliate marketing and 3) picking a niche.

Well today I want to talk about another very important step – Keyword Research.

I wouldn’t be lying if I said that everyday I see more and more how important keyword research is!

But why do you even need keyword research:

> To get an idea of what the demand is like in your niche – if there isn’t a demand, then you’re wasting your time.

> To know which search terms (keywords) people are using in find information related to your niche.

> To gauge what your competition is like.

> To decide on which keywords you are going to target for your advertising and for building your inbound links

… You see, one of the best ways to get traffic to your websites is through the search engines. But, in order to do that, you must rank high in the search engine results (preferably in the first 10 results) for targeted keywords related to your niche

… And you can only do that through proper keyword research and search engine optimization (SEO). I have learned that one of the most important factors related to SEO is the number of inbound links to your site from high traffic sites.

In my opinion, one of the best sites for doing proper keyword research is Nichebot…. Simply because it has a lot of features that other keyword research software (that I have used) don’t have.

So, please…. don’t neglect the importance of keyword research.

About a week ago I did a Super Affiliates Review and in it I mentioned that by implementing just one of the techniques I learned from the material, I was able to get a #1 Rank in Google for a very targeted keyword, which resulted in two sales for the product I was promoting.

Well… I have some more good news to report.

Every day this week, I have earned commissions for one or more of the products I’ve been promoting!

And this is as a result of the techniques I have been implementing from Super Affiliates in addition to having to having the right mindset.

I hope I can return again with some more great news….

Because of increased level of success, I would recommend that anyone wanting to earn serious money with affiliate marketing should definitely consider becoming a member of Super Affiliates!

“What niche should you choose…. there is soooo many.”

Well in my experience, when you first start with affiliate marketing, you should choose a niche for which you have an interest or one which you are passionate about. The reason for taking this approach is simple. It makes it seem less like work… and also, it makes it easier to create unique content. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself when trying to decide on a niche.

1) what websites do you visit when you’re just surfing online?
2) do you have pets?
3) do you play and sports?
4) do you collect anything?
5) do you have any specialized education?

See what I mean. I hope this has been helpful…

There is a link at the end of this post where you can read my full review of this affiliate marketing membership site. However, I want to just highlight a few points.

1/ I think that SuperAffiliates.com is a great membership site. However, if you have not yet developed the right mindset and your not taking your affiliate marketing business serious… then don’t join this club

2/ You are provided with a lot of material… and I mean alot of material. There are over 130 files to download consisting of pdfs, videos and audios. So be aware that you may take some time to go through all of the material.

3/ Ewen does in fact reveal some new and very useful techniques… well at least they were useful to me.

4/ One such technique allowed me to get #1 position in Google! Now this #1 position isn’t for a search term that has a lot of traffic, but its very targetted for the particular niche and it did result in two sales for the product I was promoting.

I absolutely believe that if your are dedicated, focused and you follow the steps recommended by Ewen, you would be a successful affiliate marketer.

Not taking action is one of the greatest set-backs experienced by new affiliate marketers. You have got to invest your time and effort to learn affiliate marketing and then you must TAKE ACTION.

There are several solid affiliate marketing courses out there, but for you to see results, you have got to implement the strategies and techniques that you learn.

A common trend amongst people interested in making money online is to buy a “make money online” course with the hope that somewhere in the material there would be some magical method to help them get lots of money quickly… with little effort. However, when they see that making money online does in fact required considerable effort, they close the book and take no action… yet expect to see results.

This is the wrong attitude…. this is the wrong approach.

What I simply want to encourage you to do today is to take action… build that website, write that new article, start that new blog… do something to further your business. Trust me you will start to see results.
