When we look at affiliate marketing and how to dig deep to find the best ways of successfully getting that big payout at the end of it some people think it is all very easy and that there is a simple way of doing it. To be honest it is more complicated than some easy set up, it all comes down to the three big, proven marketing practices that take dedication and hard work to pull off. By using these three top tips you can make money in the affiliate marketing world and become a bigger fish in the tank than you think or currently are. You can if you use these tip increase your sales and make some good money. They worked for me and now I am going to share them with you!

1. Use unique web pages to promote each product that you are marketing: Don’t try and skimp by putting all of your products together on one site as this is just a waste of money and confuses the customer. Get a single web page dedicated to each product you are trying to market and dedicate time and money to them. For what you put in (more money on web hosting), I promise you will get triple if not more back in the long run. On each site write up some reviews on the product you are selling as this way the customer can be more informed about the product without you seeming biased. Testimonials are great for this but always make sure that the previous customers are happy that you want to use their feedback and comments on your site and name them along side. Another thing is to add articles that highlight the best features of the product and place them as additional pages, make these pages fun and compelling so that they draw the prospective customers in.

2. Give Out Free Reports: If you can position the free reports at the top side of your main page so that it has the maximum impact and hits the reader immediately. If you have a sign up box try and create an auto response sender so that the readers who input their information and contact details in will be contacted immediately, it will give the reader a sense of “presence” and send them free regular reports. It is a common known fact in the sales world that by the sixth or seventh time they are contacted and have been reeled in by your free reports they will buy your product. By sending them these little reminders about the product from time to time (do not bombard them as this will frighten them away) you are reminding them about the product, include in the free reports interesting and grabbing content that also subconsciously makes them want to buy. But do not make the report sound like a sales page make it more informal and fun people are ten times more likely to trust you and buy your product if they feel you are down to earth and not a pushy sales man/woman. When sending the free report email avoid using the word “free” as more often than not you will find your carefully crafted email being left in the spam folder and deleted without a glance. Avoid this by making your subject letter headings interesting and eye catching, convince the reader that they will be missing out greatly if they do not buy your product.

3. Increasing the Right Traffic for Your Product: The best way to do this is to write articles about your product and publish them on e-zines and e-reports. You must maintain a minimum of two per week with a word count of between three hundred and six hundred words per article. This way you can locate and focus in on your target consumers, the articles will get their attention and grab their interest enough to have a look at your site. By doing this you can get more that fifty to one hundred readers who are specifically targeted to your site, visiting every day! Try and remember potentially only one or two out the one hundred will buy your product. So get on and get those customers coming, generate by hard work and you can secure your business. By putting in time and work on your part you can make a business that is profitable.

Internet Scams

No matter what they offer you weather its real estate investing, selling by classified ads, stock market investing, internet affiliate marketing, poetry scams, arbonne scam, primerica jobs, cash advances, email scams and gambling cheats they are all the same, complete frauds! You may have already fallen into their claws or you maybe thinking of taking the step into the trap. Do not go ahead without reading the rest of this post because what I have to tell you will shock you, I thought they were bad but I never realized how much!
Recently I contacted the owner of a get rich quick website that dealt in poetry scams that are all the rage right now just ahead of the primerica scam. I posed as a buyer for the entire site and within days of the initial contact the doors were literally thrown open for me and I got to see what these websites are like from the inside. So I got the inside scoop on one of the biggest internet scams that thousands of people have already invested their money into and lost, making the website owner and administrator thousands of dollars of your money earnt buy supplying you with false information and rubbish tips that lead you no where but round in circles. I cannot name the site for legal reasons but I did get to chat via e-mail directly with the owner of the poetry scam site.

He sent me the entire sales figures, site affiliates details, projected sales, marketing, basically everything you would expect from an owner of a site that is looking to sell you their business. Well what I found chilled me to the bone! I was disgusted before with what I already know about these site but what I found was a lot worse than I thought. The owner actually boasted to me about how many people bought his useless poetry scam program and how stupid people were when you offer them nothing in reality in exchange for money. He admitted to me himself it is a complete scam and making money this way is impossible! You never get something for nothing and yes if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is!

So when they later contacted me to see if I was still interested in buying the poetry scam site I declined telling them I was no longer interested as I had a conscience and couldn’t do it to people and that I was disappointed in the fact it had really turned out to be a scam. Needless to say, he didn’t respond and I have never heard from him since! So be aware of these schemes and don’t get sucked into them. The number one scam at the moment is poetry scams closely followed by the primerica scam and the mona vie scam, so keep your eyes peeled and don’t be taken in by the fat cats who will take your money and leave you with nothing!

Pay Per Click

One best example for PPC program is Google Adsense. This is the most widely used monetizing tool by bloggers. Me, myself use this program and you can see it in every page of my sites. You earn money for every click on the ads by your visitors. Usually, this is the most abused tool as evils try to click and click on the ads.

Affiliate Programs

You can see tons of bloggers blogging about their success in afilliate sales. This is one of the best source of earnings of some bloggers. Affiliates sales seems to be complicated and not much advisable for beginners. This is more on internet marketing strategies so you need to learn more things before you could be a successful affiliate marketer. Here, you earn money for every sales you made. One good example is Pepperjam Network.

Private Advertising

This is a trend nowadays, almost every blog now offer private advertising. Bloggers used to offer special ad space for direct advertisers. You can see an example in my sidebar wherein I offer 125×125 square ads. They usually cost around $5 to more than $100 depending on the blog statistics. Advertiser usually contact the publisher for an ad booking. In this case, you own 100% of the profit since you will not use third party programs.

Sponsored Reviews & Links

Though this is against the Google Webmaster rules, some still find ways on how they could earn from paid links without knowing by Google. Bloggers used to earn money offering paid reviews, post, sitewide links. Advertisers used to love this kind of offer since they get link juice and as well as exposure. John Chow used to earn big moolah by offer sponsored posts. It cost around $500 to be reviewed and featured in John Chow’s blog. Best example tools for sponsored reviews and links are TextLinkAds, ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews.

Offering Services

This not usually used by bloggers but some are getting money by just offering service like web desinging, search engine optimization, building blogs, etc etc. An example of bloggers who offer services are Mr Javo, Garry Conn, and Ryan McLean. Mr Javo used to offer web designing, Garry Conn offers blog building, and Ryan offer some freelancing stuffs.

So they are some of those blogger friendly make money online tools. You have to learn each of them in order for you to be a successful internet entrepreneur. All you have to do is read blogs and interact with others. Make money online could be simple if you find ways on how you could make money.

Here is a brief summary of my whole make money online journey in January 2009:

Google Adsense - $64.44
Private Advertising - $10

Total - $74.44

Oh! I am not that so happy with my blogging earnings this month. I think I should work hard to make more money online. I still need to learn more secrets and read more make money online tips over the blogosphere.

Here is a brief summary of this blog’s traffic stats for January 2009:

Google Analytics
Visits - 15,208 (+9.81%)
Pageviews - 21,345 (+1.95%)

That’s an increase in traffic. But I saw a decrease in traffic in the last few days of January. I have to make more post for search engine traffic.

Top Commentator

December 2009 top commentator contest will be the last top commentator contest here in my blog. I need to stop it and save money. You know, global financial crisis.

I didn’t notice that I am getting more addicted and addicted in Twitter. It is like a brand of heroine that makes me love it. Maybe the reason why I get listed because of my daily use of Twitter. It is so fun to talk to others in Twitter and networking with them. Honestly, most of my online buddies are from Twitter. We used to be friends after some 2-5 tweets.

Twitter can even help you make some money online. I’ve been getting a single refferal to OIOPublisher and Hostgator. It also give me ideas on how to make more money online, makes me more known in the world wide web, gives opportunity to talk to popular people and so much more.

So for being listed in that list, I would like to thanks all those who have been following my stupid tweets in twitter. Thanks also to those who will be following me in the future.

Followe me on twitter and let’s make some talk and be friends.

Take a look at the picture below. It is the disassembled cube I have receive. And after 30 minutes, it is now assembled and ready for a game. I have just followed this video from YouTube.

So if you want to buy a cube like this.. Then I recommend PuzzleProz of eBay. Just take a search in eBay and you will surely find him there. He got lots of positive feedback and I have just left him one awhile ago.

To celebrate the 2009, they had given their affiliates a 90% commision for every referral’s purchase in the whole month of January. Just few hours ago, they have sent me an email and gave me some promo codes.

Jan90-35 entitles the purchaser to buy for just $35
Jan90-30 entitles the purchaser to buy for just $30
Jan90-25 entitles the purchaser to buy for just $25

I know you will choose the last one because you can buy OIOpublisher for as low as $25. The other codes are just for backups. If the last code didn’t work, then try the first and second codes.

What are you waiting for? Grab OIOpublisher and use the coupon codes to get a big big discount. The codes above will expire on February 1, 2009. So hurry up!

Buy OIOpublisher here

Few days ago, I’ve noticed that my cube became dirtier and dirtier. I tried to search on the internet on how to replace the stickers. I stumbled upon on CubeSmith.com, a website store dedicated to magic cubes parts and stuffs. It took me some hour to decide whether to purchase a tiles to them in replace to my dirty Rubik’s Cube stickers. Then I tried to go to eBay to search for Rubik’s Cube stuffs. I came upon on PuzzleProz’s eBay store and read several reviews about his cube products. He also got a video to prove that his cube product is really quality and meant for speedcubing.

Again, it took me some hours to decide. But still in the end, it results to a purchase. I have just made my first ever eBay purchase. After some days, I have receive a message from PuzzleProz and he said that my order has been shipped. So it might took a week or a couple of week to reach the Philippines. The product cost $10 plus a shipping fee of about $7. The payment was made in PayPal.

I am not yet recommending PuzzleProz as I haven’t received yet the cube. Once, the cube is in my hand, I will make a follow up post and will surely recommend you to buy a cube to him.

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

This is a live streaming of the President Barack Obama inauguration day which will be held at the capitol building in Washington, DC at 5:00 PM GMT.

I am here to set goals. I know how high is the competition in technology niche. TechChrunch is there, with Lifehacker, Engadget, etc etc. But I believe there’s nothing wrong in trying it. And not all long tail keywords are targeted by them so there is still high chance that I could drive traffic and earn some money.

The Goal Setting

1. Make 1 dollar a day
2. 100 RSS subscribers in 2 months
3. 100 visits a day after 1 month
4. PageRank of 2 on the next Google PR update
5. Rank #1 in Google with the keyword of  “Teknolohiya” after 1 month

Just a simple goal of mine. It must be SMART - specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound.
