The Top Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online (3 of 3)

Good Morning,

Have you been following the first post(s) in this series?  What did you think about them?  Let’s finish this off:

 

 

No matter what type of marketing strategy you ultimately use make sure to get the kind of traffic that is relevant to your product offering.

If your offering is not relevant to the person who visits your website, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.
The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part. Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.

In fact I would even offer that after you have seen some success to ramp it up to 2-3 articles/day.  Of course these would be focused on the appropriate keyword phrases for your particular market.

Good Morning,

Did you follow the first post in this series?  What did you think about it?  Let’s get to the next one in the series:

Add FREE added value to those that choose to have an online relationship with you.  Do this by Offering Free Reports to your readers.

If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.  In fact a very effective way to write your email communications is to state the problem explicitly and then form a GENERIC solution that your product offering just happens to fulfill. Your readers will arrive at the OBVIOUS conclusion themselves . . .

Good Morning,

Have you downloaded the “affiliate marketing For Newbies” ebook yet? You can get it by filling out the opt-in form in the upper right. In any case let’s get right to it!

We as affiliate marketers are always looking for the biggest paycheck which comes from correctly identifying a successful market. However, when you are getting started you can sometimes think someone has a “Secret” method or technique that you must know in order to be successful. Well like the statement,”It isn’t magic anymore once you know the secret” it’s just about using sound proven marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.

As a beginner marketer you have to understand that there is a body of successful marketing techniques that have proven themselves offline that work in the online affiliate marketing space as well. With the top marketing tips i plan to offer here, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive online.

What are these tactics?

TACTIC #1 Use a distinct web site to promote each product you are marketing.

The general idea is to make sure you don’t lump all of your products together just to save web hosting money. The ideal situation is to have a tightly focused site that focuses on one product and nothing more. An acceptable deviation would be the situation where you are promoting a general CLASS of products.
Make sure all of your websites include easy to read product reviews so visitors will have an initial
understanding of the benefits of the product you are selling. When possible you should also include
testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Before you post the testimonials make sure your customers are willing to allow you to use their photos and names on the site of the specific product you are selling. An additional marketing technique you can use is the idea of writing and submitting articles to article directories that highlight the uses of the product and include them on the website as additional content. One specific way of creating your pages would be the problem - solution method. You state the problem and then you define a solution that your product is uniquely qualified to solve. In the process make sure you identify clear user benefits and of course include calls to action. Each headline should attempt to identify the specific reader and the copy should persuade the readers to read more until you have given them enough benefits so that they can come to the decision themselves.  Of course a specific call to action would give them the necessary push to break the inertia around the purchasing decision. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

Affiliate Marketing Case Study (UPDATE)

July 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Good Morning,

For all of you that have been keeping up with this I wanted to give a quick update.  This project has been guilty of major scope creep.  This case study was going to at first illustrate the real world application of the traffic and affiliate pre-selling strategies that are offered in my video based affiliate marketing training series (Affiliate Millions).

But as I got into it I thought that would be a serious limitation since many of you are just getting started in affiliate marketing and would miss or not quite grasp why certain decisions were made and for that matter the long term consequences of those decisons. I also went back and forth about whether I should include a list building component (i.e. could be a case study by itself).

In the short term I will publish a phased approach affiliate marketing plan and build on the components as we go along of course enhancing and modifying as market conditions would suggest.  I’ll need your input on this of course so write in when you feel inclined. Of course I will publish the traffic and sales stats for the case study so you can see the success or failure of the information you can find in Affiliate Millions.

Have a great day!

Make Money from Affiliate Programs and Quit Your Day Job.

July 13, 2008 | 4 Comments

by Valentin Selimov

Over the past few years there has been literally thousands of articles written about how to make money with affiliate programs. With all of the affiliate marketing program information out there, you’d think that by now everyone would be millionaires Many people suspect that there’s a magic e-book out there somewhere, that costs money and that with it and enough time, you would start to see real financial benefits.

affiliate marketing is one of those things that is not going to make you thousands of dollars overnight. If you can live with that, and continue to work at it, you’ll begin to show slow but realistic progress over time as you utilize the affiliate marketing system. If you go into an affiliate marketing program with the right frame of mind, you’ll be excited when you start, and you’ll be excited when you finish. And, all the bumps and potholes in the road won’t make a difference to you.

Ascertaining How Much Time You Can Expend On An Affiliate Program

Before you do anything else, it’s important to figure out how many hours a week you can work on your affiliate best marketing program. We’re not talking about telling yourself, “Okay, I can do anywhere from ten to twenty hours a week.” What we want is a definitive number. Something like, “I will work every night from seven o’clock to nine o’ clock for the first two months and then do a progress report.” Once you have your timeline set, then you can go about finding free to join affiliate programs.

Many new affiliate marketers jump at the first thing they see and as a result, they fail to make money in affiliate marketing. One way to make money is to put yourself in the path of people who want something, and finding that crowd is not always as easy as it sounds. But, if you can find an internet marketing affiliate program that is selling something that everyone wants, you will make sales in your sleep with little to no effort.

Affiliate Program Marketing With or Without Money

Whether you have money or not, you can market an affiliate program effectively. If you’ve chosen to sell beach vacation rentals, Xbox video games, bottled water or whatever, if you market it correctly, you are going to start making money. There are different ways to market a product or service. Nowadays, we all hear about social networking and business networking, but you can’t spend all of your time in those communities and expect to make a profit. It’s one way to effectively advertise, but it’s not the only way, and your goal is to find a group targeted on your product or service.

Adwords is one of the best ways to get started building targeted leads for your marketing affiliate program. It does cost some money to get started. You’ll also have to do some research, or you’ll just be throwing your money away. You will need to build a keyword word list that is targeted to what you are trying to sell. Keywords are directly related to whatever you’re selling. For example, if you’re selling pocketbooks you want to find all of the words that mean pocketbook including the word pocketbook. Once you have a list of keywords, you can then go into Adwords and put up advertising. It’s one of the quickest ways to get your product out to those who are interested.

Since Adwords cost money, you may want to take a different route that will take a little longer, but can still get the word out about your affiliate best marketing program. Utilizing the signature in any forums you are associated with or just in your personal email can start the word of mouth circulating about the free to join affiliate programs you joined. It’s not as good as Adwords, but it’s a start.

To Sum It All Up

Patience is going to be the most impressive tool you will have to constantly utilize over the first few months. Depending on the amount of time you have to market affiliate programs, it might even be longer. Some days you will feel as though this is a waste of time because nothing is coming in financially. We’re here to tell you an affiliate join program takes time and it needs to be understood before you start promoting anything.

Making money at home through affiliate marketing has been proven to be quite interesting, lucrative and doable. When you’re first starting out, you’ll want to join every program you find. Resist the urge. It’s not possible to chase two rabbits at one time. What that means is you’ll spread yourself too thin, and you won’t be successful at anything. You want to concentrate on one or two programs that are interesting to you. Then, as you learn more and become more successful, you can add to your affiliate marketing portfolio.

Your Online Home Business -Four Secrets to Success

July 13, 2008 | 1 Comment

by Simon Whincop

Do you want your online home-based business to to get massive attention and realize a huge profit? If so, you need traffic - and lots of it. Traffic is the lifeblood of your online home business, so here are some tips on how to build and maintain it:

Step #1: Optimize Your Site

Imagine if your prospective customers found your website near the top of search results whenever they typed in keywords relating to your home-based online business! You profits would sky rocket! Could you make this happen to your website? The answer is yes! Using SEO.

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the process of increasing the volume and quality of website traffic from search engine results for targeted keywords. Using these same keywords throughout the body of your pages’ content will help search engines pick up your site.

Google provides information and guidelines to help you through the process of SEO. You should also use keyword tools. Some are free, such as Google’s own http://www.goodkeywords.com. Others, such as Keywords Analyzer or Wordtracker will tell you how competitive your keyword phrase is. Use phrases relevant to your online home business - the more specific, the better.

Be warned though! Many people have a negative opinion of articles and web pages overstuffed with keyword phrases, feeling that they are a paid advertisement (which they are). It is better to use the natural occurrence of the keyword phrase in the writing.

SEO mean a lot more than just slotting in a few good keywords into your website. It can also involve a site’s coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from spidering your site.

Step # 2: Back-Link Your Website

Building up your link popularity is essential to developing a good relationship with the major search engines. To do that you need to establish as many inbound links as possible, preferably from highly respected directories, and from websites and directories related to your niche.

If you decide to go down the route of reciprocal linking, I recommend using some software to automate the process of. Link Machine is free, and once it’s installed on your site you can use it to add link partners without having to know HTML.

Step # 3: Become an Article Marketer

Search engines favour sites with relevant content and rich information relating to targeted keywords. An excellentway of adding content to your website to include an article section. You could write your own articles, or post those written by others. You could even add an article directory to your site - you will have to maintain it of course. Linking your site to your own blog is another way to add content (Google’s Blogger is excellent and easy to set up and use).

Becoming an article marketer is one of the best ways of getting traffic to your website, provide you with literally hundreds of backlinks . If you don’t fancy writing your own articles, you can always pay someone else to do it for you. Most writers charge between $5 - $10 dollars per article.

Next, submit your article to a selection of high quality article directories. Most article directories allow you to include HTML in your resource box, so you want to take advantage of this and include some anchor text with your keywords in the resource box, as well as at least one URL to your site.

Remember quality articles will drive the curious to find out more at your website.

Step # 4: Start an Email Campaign

A vital element of any home-based online business is setting up an Opt-in email campaign.

Opt-in email involves setting up an landing page where customers sign their name and email address in a prescribed box in exchange for information about a product or service they are interested in. This is done through the use squeeze page designed expressly for the purpose of harvesting email addresses of interested prospects.

An autoresponder is a program designed to send emails out automatically to these customers. It will send out a series of follow up emails that you have created, at pre-programmed intervals. Customers in your list are your lifeline to referrals and future sales since you will maintain an ongoing relationship with them via email.

Entrepreneurship and succeeding your own home based online business do not come easy. To achieve success, all home-based online businesses need one thing: traffic. And that comes with hard work, coupled with expertise. However,if you are willing to use these techniques, preferrably focussing one at a time, you really can make your dreams come true.

Getting Started - Choosing The Right Domain (2 of 2)

July 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Good Morning,

Have you been following along with my post(s)?  Let me know if you have received any useful ideas from them.  I plan to start several case studies in the coming weeks.  Stay tuned!  In any case let’s wrap up the post on Choosing the Right Domain Name:

Most people use ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’ for such filtering purposes in their domain names. You get a good domain name, and you also get it indexed because the search engines will simply ignore such buffer words. Use numbers at the end of the phrase. Any number like 80 or anything else will do. There are some ideas to use if you get everything else but not the .com ending too. Read on.

Sometimes the keyword is so popular that it does not make much difference if you have a .com or something else. Some such popular examples are .org, .net and even .biz. If you don’t see any difference that an international or local website will do for you, you can also select for a nation or state specific extension. As an example, think what would be better for you – to be number 4 in Britain’s Google or to be number 40 in American Google? It is not quite difficult to choose a domain name that will be good for both your users as well as the search engines.

The keyword tool will influence 90% of the success of your domain name; the rest will depend on how innovative and creative you are. When you find nothing helps you in getting the domain name of your choice, changing the extension always works.

Getting Started - Choosing The Right Domain Name (1 of 2)

June 30, 2008 | 1 Comment

Good Morning and welcome back, 

Today’s post will cover choosing the right domain name for those who are new to the internet marketing game.  In fact choosing the right domain name can even have an impact on your ppc quality score. Did you get anything out of the post(s) I made last week?  In any case let’s get started:

A good domain name is crucial to ensure the success of a website online. An interesting domain name will spark curiosity and compels the web surfers to click through to check it out. It is actually easy to find a good domain name. Are you sure of the reason for this? Without the kind of keywords search engines will want to index your site, it is not going to figure in the search engine listings. It must be easy for the search engines to pick up. Keep reading – you will learn how to get both these things done.

Your first objective is to find a search engine optimized keyword that you can use in your domain name. Use a keyword analyzer to get this done. You will get these if you do a search on the search engines. Think of a sample keyword that tells about what your site is and enter it into the tool. The analyzer will now give you many different alternatives for the keyword you inserted. From the returned options pick particular domain name that better serves the meaning of your website. A rule of search engine optimization is to use low competition keywords because they increase your chances of getting found. At this point, you can start searching for your actual domain name.

A lot of the domain name companies on the Internet will let you know if a particular name is available. The domain name service will also suggest alternatives if the one you put in is not available. The best way to use this tool is to enter the keyword you have selected. If at all the keyword is not available for use as the domain name, you will be given other suggestions. Think favorably about the domain names that have the keyword and end with .com. You will have to use your creative mind to think of options if this is not present. Just putting in some filler words or numbers will allow you to retain your keyword.
