Seven Ways To Master Affiliate Marketing by Joel

Comments: 0December 14th, 2010 by admin

One of the things I learned from the enlightened wealth institute is how to master affiliate marketing. It is a great way to start making money online because you don’t have to spend tons of time creating a product, creating a customer service department and a sales page.

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is where you sell someone else’s products or services and receive a commission. This allows you to start your online business with practically no start up costs or overhead because you only focus on sending traffic to someone else’s sales page and if they buy, you get a commission. You can find great products and services to sell at sites such as clickbank.

Seven ways that can increase your success in affiliate marketing are:

1) Promote products in the “hungry” niches such as making money online, dating, health and fitness such as how to lose weight, real estate investing how to, and self improvement niche such as hypnosis and the overall “Tony Robbins” kind of genre of information.

2) Concentrate on only one niche at first because then you can get good at driving traffic in that niche and understanding the customer needs and desires better.

3) Start using the power of social media and build communities around your niche. So for example if you are affiliate marketing for the ‘how to lose weight’ niche, then start a facebook business page, a twitter account, a youtube channel and a simple wordpress blog around that topic.

Leverage automation tools such as ping.fm so you can syndicate one message to more than one of your social media accounts. Consider using an RSS feed as well to automatically post great content about your niche to your social media sites.

4) Start to use online video. A instructor at the enlightened wealth institute taught me how to create simple free videos on animoto and Windows Movie Maker and then I submit the videos to more than one video sharing site by using another free automation tool called tubemogul.

5) Start using ‘flyers’ on your local grocery store announcement board. This is a “sneaky tactic” because you go where you have no competition. Who would ever think of selling something “online” in a brick and mortar place such as a grocery store announcement board. This was a great tip taught to me by my enlightened wealth institute instructor.

6) Leverage the power of Craigslist and other classified sites. There are still millions of people using Craigslist and you can for free, put an ad up on craigslist. The best thing to do is use pictures when posting a classified ad because that separates you from the rest of the ads.

Remember to make your title of the ad “stand out” from the rest by using such words in the title as “stunning”, “shocking”, “limited time offer”, or “only 10 left”.

7) Leverage the power of “other people”. I was taught by the enlightened wealth institute to leverage OPT, other people’s time. You can do this by hiring a “virtual assistant” to do all the work for you in the above ways.

All you need to do is create a simple tutorial document or video on what you need done, use google documents to manage your virtual assistant and assign tasks and you benefit by having more time to have fun while you have systematized your affiliate marketing business!

I hope you enjoyed the seven ways to master affiliate marketing and I have a huge bonus tip to also give you that will add more profits to your business and it is this: Start building your own list.

Web Site Promotion Internet Marketing – 3 Reasons to Setup a Blog For Your Local Business

Comments: 0September 27th, 2010 by admin

Many Local Businesses think it’s okay to just setup a website, and they have no idea why it is so important to setup a blog, and why this is one of the most crafty Web Site Promotion Internet Marketing methods a Small Brick and Mortar Business should employ. There are a lot of reasons any Local Business should be marketing with a blog, however, I’m going to just go into a few of the main reasons.

1.) Search Engine Friendly – Back in 2002, the Blog URL’s used to be very unfriendly to the search engines. Your URL syntax for example would usually have the entire date of the post within the URL, as well as no file extension on the end. Search Engines would pick these up, but they are not as favorable as the pages you can create now. For example, all you would have to do is to install the All In One SEO Plugin, and you can create pages with html extensions and without dates, so each post comes right from your root domain.

2.) Better Sitemaps – There is a WordPress Plugin now called Google XML Sitemaps, that will make sure the Search Engines spider all of your pages in a short amount of time. This plugin is also free, and only takes about 3 minutes to completely setup. The main thing you need to consider when setting up a blog is to write a few posts per week on it. Make sure you don’t pull other peoples content or it won’t have the value as writing the post yourself. Google loves unique content so take the time to write these yourself.

3.) Internal Links – One of the biggest benefits of setting up your own blog on your website domain, is the fact that you can use certain keywords you are trying to rank for to point to your main site within the content of your blog. This concept is known as Internal Linking. For example if you were trying to rank for San Diego Attorney, you would create a post with this keyword in it, then use this keyword as Anchor Text pointing to your main index page. Google would count this as one link.

As your blog grows, you can do this over and over, linking 1-2 times with each post. A word of caution though is you don’t wanna over do this or Google will catch on. Also you want to use Anchor Text on similar keywords that are relevant such as San Diego Attornies, or San Diego Attorney Online. You want to “mix up” your Anchor Text so Google doesn’t think you’re just trying to go for one keyword.

Over time you can build hundreds of links just by doing this and being consistent on your posts. Always offer quality content on your blogs that customers would enjoy even if they weren’t going to take advantage of your services right away. This way you are employing attraction marketing into the mix as well.

There are actually quite a few more reasons Blogs are totally necessary to use as a Web Site Promotion Internet Marketing method for Small Businesses Online, and we’ll be happy to personally discuss them with you for free. Best of luck my friend!

Internet Marketing Research For Roi on Your New Websites

Comments: 0September 27th, 2010 by admin

A new website doesn’t come cheap nowadays. In fact, a professional web site can set you back thousands of dollars, and when you take into consideration just how much work is required in terms of design, planning, programming, and even content, it becomes apparent why it’s so essential to see a return on your investment. Internet marketing, particularly SEO, can help.

Of course, it’s hardly a secret that a successful website can see you earning astronomical amounts of money day in and day out and of course you can end up with thousands of customers from all over the world. In this respect, it simply cannot be denied that a professional website can by all accounts end up being one of the biggest and most lucrative business investments you’ll ever make.

Unfortunately however, there are millions of people out there who end up becoming despondent when their new website doesn’t live up to their expectations, in that it fails to generate the amount of money they were hoping for. When this happens, it is safe to say that their website is a failure, and as such, the efforts of the web development company were in vain as well.

After all, there’s not much point in having a great looking website if you’re the only one who even knows it exists. No, people will not simply start arriving at your website just because it’s such a great looking site. Remember, there are an estimated 3 billion websites out there and the number is growing daily. Furthermore, there’s no such thing as a gentleman’s agreement between competitors, in that your competitors are hungry for your traffic and your visitors. Also, if it’s easier for internet users to find the websites of your competitors, then you can bet your bottom dollar that that’s where they’ll be going. The main thing to remember is, if your website is not performing the way you want it to, and you’re not getting as many visitors as you had hoped for, then you simply don’t have the luxury of time to sit back and do nothing.

You could of course go and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on printed advertising, just as you could spend a fortune on advertising your website on TV. But let’s face it; this type of advertising is beyond most people’s means, particularly when you consider that it will at most only be able to grab people’s attention for a few minutes. Even if you decide to give your website a makeover in terms of appearance, that’s still not going to achieve anything in terms of making people aware that your web site exists.

If you’re serious about exposing your website to the general population then you need to acknowledge the fact that SEO (search engine optimization) is the most powerful tool you have, in that it can effectively see your website appearing on the front page of search results when surfers type in certain search criteria. No, SEO is by no means rocket science but it will require a considerable amount of time in terms of website analysis and keyword research. Remember, Even though your website may currently rank high on Google search results for one particular keyword or keyword phrase, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your website will show up when internet surfers type in other related keywords or keyword phrases.

Meta description – Your offer explained in more detail with your phone# (no more than 200 word count)
Meta keyword – few keywords related to your business ( no more than 60 word count)

3. Social Media – Most people use Face book and My Space for fun but you can easily use these free tools for business. You can create free face book groups and MySpace pages with your business details. Add new content each week to these pages and watch your network sky rocket.

You can go to news. Google and search for new content related to your business.

Google Analytics is free and most powerful tracking system. You can install analytics on a 5-10 page website in minutes.

To quick install Google Analytics you must go to google.com/analytics and create a new account. It will ask you to enter your website address and then it will give you a code. Copy the code and paste it every where before the < /body > tag on your website.

Now you can track your website and get tons of data on customer value, loyalty and conversion.

How to Use Blogging In Your Internet Marketing Business

Comments: 0September 27th, 2010 by admin

You can not throw up a blog and think it will make you easy money. You need to understand how blogging works in order to see success with it. The good news is that, as an internet marketer, adding a blog to your site can increase your profits and build your selling prospects. If you take the time to learn the few techniques it take to become a successful blogger then you can start making lots of money with very little effort. Following are several techniques that you can use to start blogging for cash.

Adding an RSS Feed is critical to your blog. RSS simply means “Really Simple Syndication.” Many blogs are already equipped with RSS Feeds. Even though your blog most likely will have its own feed already, you can still use a third party’s RSS if you need to. If you are planning to use a different RSS Feed besides the want that your blog is equipped with then it would be a good idea to consider creating one by Google’s RSS Feed system, Feedburner.

RSS Feeds makes things better for you and your visitor: if someone likes your posts then they can subscribe to your feed and don’t have to visit your say to read any added content. Your feed subscribers can read your new posts in their feed reader anytime they want.

Set up a posting arrangement so that you have your topics chosen before you post. It doesn’t have to be hard to come up with topics to write about. A good method is to open up a notebook or text document and do some free association, jotting down everything that comes into your mind that has something to do with your chosen niche. To use an example, if your blog was about tropical fish, you could makes lists of the various types of fish, the supplies needed to care for them and so forth; every one of these topics could be a separate blog post, and you’d soon have lots of material. If you have a blog that is centered around internet marketing, there are many possible topics; make a list of all the tools and strategies you are familiar with when it comes to making money on the internet, and you’ll soon have many blog post topics. As you practice writing posts, the process will become more natural.

Try to leave your comments as open and unmoderated as possible. Moderating will, at first, be a simple task because of the smaller amount of traffic. Although, it will soon seem like disallowing the ability to comment on your blog or to approve ones that you think are appropriate and reject the others is your only solution to stop them. Actually, permitting opinions other than your own you will create an open environment that makes your visitors more comfortable. This will encourage people to comment, even if they don’t agree with you.

There are lots of ways that you can be more successful at blogging. We listed some basic stuff that is very powerful but there are a lot more techniques that will take you a lot further with building your blog and all it takes is a little of your time or something as simple as letting people freely post a comment, that you don’t agree with, to your blog.

There are many ways for you to monetize your blogs but you must be willing to do the work and learn a few basic skills. Since blogging is so easy; there is no limit to how for you can go. If you like your niche, it can even be quite enjoyable and feel more like a hobby than a job!
