Using Affiliate Marketing For Part-Time Income

2009-04-30T14:18:00.000-07:00

Many people are in need of some extra money either just to get by or to be able to have some spending money when their day job only covers all of their bills. Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn some extra money especially for people who already have their own websites whether it's a blog or their home business. All a person has to do to get started is find companies that invest in affiliate marketing and post ads and links in your site that go to theirs.

Some companies will pay a person for each time that link or ad is clicked by someone which can add up to a lot of money rather quickly. Other companies use the method where they actually pay a person for just having advertisements on their websites. These payment methods are not commonly used though. Usually companies will pay per sale giving the website that advertises for them a percentage of each sale that is made as a direct result of those advertisements. This is why it's important to make sure that the advertisements and links on a site relate to the site's content.

For those that really want to use affiliate marketing to start making a few extra hundred dollars a month, here are some tips to use when setting up the advertising. For blogs, especially generic ones that just talk about anything, links are really useful. A person can be talking about how they went tanning and then slip in a mention of a tanning product with a link to the product's website. Also, if a blog is concentrating on one thing like pets then links and ads placed on the site for companies that relate to pets are ideal as people will be more likely to be interested in those products.

Online Affiliate Revenue

2009-04-29T06:45:00.000-07:00

I would first like to start discussing how to make affiliate revenue. I am choosing to write about this topic first because not only is it my favorite way of making money online,but it is also the easiest to get started. Making money online as an affiliate was how I first got started. Now in order for everything that I'm about to say to line up accordingly you must first understand that there are many ways to make money online as an affiliate. I am going to be explaining it to you using the tactics that I am currently using.

If anybody is somewhat confused of how you will be making money as an affiliate, you will be making most of your money from paid commissions. Every retailer that you refer people to pays a different commission. Some retailers sell physical products (i.e) clothes, jewelry,skin care products, etc. While others sell digital

products(i.e.)eBooks,software,etc etc. Remember that your only job is just to have a website up that gets traffic and directs potential customers in the right path to find what they are looking for.

I would initially go and create an account at ClickBank .net or CommissionJunction .com. Just to keep things simple let's use just ClickBank for the time being. ClickBank has a huge arsenal of retailers signed up. Each retailer pays different percentages of commissions. So sign up and create an account with them. It's FREE. Also don't just go with those who seem to be paying the highest commissions. ClickBank has a formula that it uses to grade the conversion rates of individual retailers. Conversions meaning referred traffic (Potential Customers) that results in a sale.

They refer to this as (Gravity). The higher the Gravity point the better the conversion rate, the higher the probability you are going to be making some money. When looking around to see which products you will be affiliated with (promoting) make sure that every product is relevant to one another. What I'm saying is if your going to be affiliated with baseball equipment leave the fishing supplies out of the picture. You want to appear to your customers as being specialized in a certain field. You don't want to appear to be some desperate webmaster trying to make a buck by selling anything and everything there is to sell. It won't work. Try it and you will have to learn through the school of hardknocks.

While you decide on which products you will be placing on your future website have a list of everyone of those products. For each product that you will want to be promoting ClickBank has what it refers to as a (hoplink). After you choose the products you have an option after you click on the product that says (Create Hoplink). Click it and it will compute a link that looks like this (http://YourAccountName.AffiliateProduct.hop.clickbank.net/) ClickBank has a tracking system that will track who ever the affiliate was that referred a customer that resulted in a sale. ClickBank will pay you your first three payments through a check via US mail. After that you are now eligible for direct deposit. This is the easiest part of getting started. If you don't even have a website or know how to get a website started don't worry your still in luck. I didn't have any clue how to get this going either.

You don't have to be familiar with HTML or Java Script or know what widgets and other computer lingo is. The program that I first got stared with not only gave me a FREE website ready to make money, but they did it for only $10. When they give it to you, they will tell you exactly where to go and delete the default hoplinks in your webpage and replace them with your affiliate hoplinks that you had created when you signed up for free at ClickBank . net. It comes with a free eBook on how to get video easily placed into your website and lots of other good stuff to make your site look great. Now there may be many of you out there that already know how to manage a website and use theme codes and stuff like that, but there are many that don't so this why I'm explaining that they don't need to know this because the company that is providing this service will be taking care of all of that. Your job as the webmaster is to just follow simple instruction.

After you have replaced your default hoplinks with your account hoplinks it's time for the fun part. It's time to start getting traffic to your website so that you can start to make some real money. In the eBook that will be provided for you it will tell you many ways to get paid traffic to your website such as (Pay-Per-Click)traffic which is really Google's adwords program, Yahoo's pay-per-click programs etc, but how to submit your website for a small fee at certain web directories. Now along with that it will give you great tips on how to get FREE traffic too. Let's just focus on free traffic for now and when the money starts to flow into your bank account you can focus on the paid traffic then.

There are many many ways to get free traffic to your website. Some of these tips are using Facebook by placing your website into your profile. Everyone of your friends will see that you edited your profile and want to take a look at what you changed. Great tactic for traffic. The same goes for MySpace. The more friends you have the more traffic that will be coming in. Go to authority sites that have excellent credibility in Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc, search engines and write a article or two. These will give you great backlinks that search engines pick up and use when people search for your product. Having a bunch of backlinks that are all relevant to your product is what gets you a super high page rank (PR) in the search engines, not just a bunch of purchased backlinks that you can buy. The eBook that will be given to you will also cover this tactic don't worry.

Go and submit your website manually at the numerous free web directories available. This will be time consuming, but it is well worth it. If your thinking that you don't have the time then just make it a habit to submit at least 2-3 a day.

Let's not forget word of mouth traffic. Fix your email settings up on every email account you have to where it places your URL (website) as your signature. Again the possibilities are limitless. You can probably use your own imagination and think of some clever ways to get your URL out there and generating you traffic. You will also get your first 5000 visitors free just for using the program that I'm recommending.

How will I be able to know if I am generating traffic you might ask? Lets back track just a little bit to the part when your given your free website. It will instruct you to go to Google and sign up for an Google Analytics account at (Google.com/analytics) by doing so Google will provide you with a analytics code that you will copy then paste into the proper plugin in your website editor. The editor will be (WordPress). Everything you will be needing is explained. You will not be confused and left in the dark. If for some reason your having trouble they have a technical support line that will walk you through any complications you may be encountering.

With this analytics account you will be able to just sign in and take a look at multiple websites if you have more than one. Not only can you see how many visitors, but you can see what city,state,country,and continent your traffic came from and how many. Also time average on your site,bounce rate, the exact url and how your traffic is getting there (i.e) Google search engines, Yahoo,certain articles,direct traffic or referred and much more. I'm just scratching the surface here.

If you just follow instruction you will be making money in no time. I made $6,000 in my first month off one of my websites. Not bad for an amateur. I know this one guy that got started with me that is making crazy money. An average of $70,000 dollars a month. Now I know there are many people out there making way more than that, but I don't know them and I'm sure they are professionals at what they do.

How to Be a Good Affiliate Marketer

2009-04-07T12:54:00.000-07:00

If you are one among the aspiring people who wish to make money online, you might want to try out enrolling in an online course that will teach you what you need to know about internet marketing. This online course is called Profit Lance. This teaches beginners how to start selling their very own products online.

What is the job of an affiliate marketer? It is not to sell products, but to pre-sell them. How do you pre-sell something? Point out a particular need by having it written in your blog or website. When you have done that, pre-selling will be easy. Most of the products are made in order to satisfy an existing specific need anyway.

In affiliate marketing, you do not have to write an advertisement because it is already done for you by the owner of that certain product that you will be selling. There is no need to worry about what version to use and which is working since that is the job of the product owner. All that is left for you to do now as an internet marketer is to use the details given to you and promote it in your blog or website. Provide the link to the consumers so that they will know where to go.

Hiring a copywriting to give you an effective sales letter is very costly because research must still be done which takes up a lot of time. For a sales letter to be effective it must take into consideration both the product and the market that you are targeting. The sales latter is the basis in bringing the prospective client to arrive at the decision of buying what you are selling.

If you think of a unique product to sell over the internet, you will have lots of profit. But making the product by yourself and hiring someone to work on your concept will entail a longer time frame and usually newbies are not yet capable of this. You must first learn through affiliate marketing, save money so that when the time comes that you are ready to make your own product, you have already learned a lot.

What is the Best Way to Make Money Online

2009-04-07T12:51:00.000-07:00

If you are out of work as a result of the economic downturn, there are other ways which you can use to make money online for the main time till you get another job. That you lost your job doesn't mean that all doors have closed for you. Bear in mind that hard times are not forever. I get sick whenever I hear of people that committed suicide just because they lost their jobs. Ask those people this question, "do they know whether they would get a better pay job than the one they lost in weeks or even days?" Remember that you are not the only one in this condition, millions of others are. Even though this is a challenge it can be tackled if you work add to get another job. Find jobs that are in your field online, apply for them and pray that you will be called up for interview. Prayer is the key, pray very hard and you will see that God will give you a better job even if you don't expect to get it.

The best way to make money online is through affiliate programs. You should start signing up with affiliate programs in order to earn money online working from home right there in the front of your PC. Affiliate programs are simply a way of getting paid by selling other people's product online. Anyone from USA, UK, Canada etc can sign up for an affiliate program. Age is not even a barrier. Most affiliate programs don't reject applicants. You simply sign up with them, select a product of your choice and start promoting. Payment is made weekly or monthly depending on the one you select and you are paid by check, ACH or paypal. The good thing about affiliate programs is that the more sales you generate the more money you will make. Let's say you are promoting a product that pays $25 per sale. Think of how much you would earn if you make 10 sales in a day, that's a good way to start off. Another interesting thing about affiliate program is that it runs on autopilot and also it's a residual way of earning money if you do it well.

Below are the step by step guides you can follow to start making money online starting from this moment.

Step 1: Sign up with Amazon.

Visit Amazon and scroll down to the end of their page. Click on the "join associate program" button. Fill the form that comes up and create your own account. You don't even need an approval to get accepted. Once you are through with registering, you are accepted automatically and you could start promoting their products immediately

Step 2: Select a product

Amazon has thousands of physical products. You can easily search for a product in your member's area to starting promoting it. You can use a banner, image, text link, widget or matching ads to promote their product. It's not even mandatory that you must have a website in order to begin marketing their product for a commission. Create a unique link identical to you alone in order to make sure you are credited once you make a sale. Most Amazon products pay you 75% of the profit they make from any sale you generate. I guess in one way or the other there is a product you are very familiar with. Starting from ipod, iphone, TV, laptop, DVD, sport equipments or baby stuffs etc. Once you have found the product you want to promote, skip to the next step to learn how to promote the product of your choice.

Step 3: Promoting the product

There are varieties of ways to promote Amazon product, but the fact is that you need to find the one that will suit you the most. The quickest way to start promoting Amazon products and get unlimited amount of traffic is through ppc, but the bad news about it is that its not free and if you don't know what you are doing you could lose a lot of money. As a beginner, I don't recommend you should begin with ppc. Start off with cheaper and free methods and when you make money you can then advertise using ppc.

Some of the ways to promote are:

- You can write a review about the product you have selected and submit it to article directories and at the end of the article include your Amazon affiliate link there to lead them to Amazon sales page where they can buy it.

- You can also create a blog and submit any review you write to your blog. Create a free blog at blogger or wordpress. The problem with blogs is that it may take time before visitors can start flocking into your blog. But if you are able to write and submit 10 unique contents to your blog, add it to search engines bot and build backlinks. With these, you will see that in no time you are going to get some traffic.

- You can also promote that product at classified sites like usfreeads or integaint. These 2 classified ad sites get millions of visitors monthly. It is not free to advertise on these 2 classifieds but it doesn't cost much too. With just $10 per month, you can post unlimited ads at usfreeads. If you are able to write good ads, you can make back your money before the month runs out.

There are other various ways and techniques to use to make money from Amazon affiliate program and others, you need a guide that will unveil the best way to succeed using it.

Internet Marketing Secrets That Can Make You Rich

2009-04-01T12:45:00.000-07:00

Internet Marketing Secrets Revealed- The power of the audio interview is, what I think, the best way to sell a product. Here is why. The interview format is tried and true. We're all conditioned to it. From the news anchors on the news, to Oprah, to Larry King, to all those zoo shows like with Montel, they're all interview shows.

So when you're providing audio interviews to someone it's not like you're providing them anything that's foreign to them or that's uncomfortable; they're so comfortable with it. Everyone's heard interviews, they know what it's about and they know it's a way to get content and a way for content to be delivered. So because it's comfortable I think it's easier to get that information into people's head.

And that's in an audio format and the same thing would go if it was a written sales letter. You can have a sales letter that's nothing but question, answer, question, answer. You see that all over the internet. A lot of sites have questions and answer sites because they're valuable.

So the next time you want to come up with a new way to sell your product or your service, consider having someone interview you and record it and provide that recording to your prospect. Then you will have a way to sell to one on money rather than one on one.

It's almost like you have been able to duplicate yourself. And when you combine the ability to distribute that interview on the net, you now have a way to get your sales message to anyone in the world for free.

Your Affiliate Customer Relationship

2009-03-30T08:57:00.000-07:00

When you start out on affiliate marketing with your tasks and actions, especially for the longer term of your business success, just like any other, building lasting relationships really becomes a very important factor in your marketing arrangements, especially if you're going to go into joint partnership promotions and product creation.

You see, anything related to marketing that you do successfully hinges on building good lasting relationships because as you do, you gain people's trust to buy from you and to remain as your customers. When you have loyal repeat customers, you have a thriving business that grows as you nurture and take care of them. So your relationship with your customers and prospects is the key to keeping your hard work afloat.

Just take a look at the moral behind the story below,

Years ago, there was a man who had a thriving publishing business with loyal customers that he usually sends regular mailings each month for over 15 years. Most of his customers were always eager to receive his publication and happy to purchase whatever he recommended, being that they know his standards.

One day however, he had an idea that sounded good at the time, to promote another's product that was really unknown to him (based on a friend's recommendation) and which would have made him a high profit margin.

In this case he didn't even have to do anything, all that was required of him was to allow the product owner to use his mailing list with his recommendation, and for this, he would get some "attractive" commission. In this case he also never even tried to test the product before mailing.

Well, soon after the promotion to his customers, you can guess what happened, he had complaints upon complaints, about this product. For him, this was an eye opener as he had never done this sort of thing before. If he had, the first thing to have done was to test this physical product to see if it worked and then perhaps follow this up with some relevant questions.

Now, what do you think happened soon after?

His customers that he had built up slowly but steadily over 15 years left him in droves, cancelled their subscriptions, and went elsewhere. All for the sake of one single promotion that he didn't think carefully about. He didn't think about the effect on his Customer Relationship. Now, this is just one example but it goes to show that your customer relationship should be treasured.

Okay, getting back to Affiliate Marketing Promotions, in summary here are points to help you in building the Relationship Feelings into your Affiliate Marketing or any other Promotion.

1) It's a Lifetime Relationship

Think of what your customer relationship means to you, it's for a lifetime, so nurture it, pamper it, give them value, and they will trust you the more.

2) Treasure Customers

A lifetime relationship means you treasure customers and before you offer any affiliate product, joint venture product, or any product for that matter, be sure that you test it out yourself and see how you feel about it, does it work?, is it suitable for your particular Customer Niche?, it may be suitable elsewhere, but may not be for your Customers.

3) Thank you means gratitude

Say thank you to your customers when the occasion arises, for example after you launch a new affiliate product, or during a special season of goodwill such as the New Year and any other time that suits you..

4) Convey Positively with Resourcefulness

When you communicate with your customers or prospects, be positive, always relay positive and helpful ideas that your customers would treasure and remember you for. Let your personal energy transpire in all your communication with them, and they'll always look forward to hearing from you.

5) Relationship visualization

Regularly Visualize Ongoing Success Relationship with your prospects and customers, as this will draw more people close to you, and ensure that you maintain and keep them loyal as Lifetime Customers.

Make Money Blogging

2009-03-27T08:39:00.000-07:00

Setting up your blogging site is incredibly easy, although if you have no idea how to do that this can be a tricky and frustrating thing to figure out. You've landed on the answer to your problem here so take a deep breath and let's get started down the road to success shall we?

I will take you through a three step process that will enlighten you very easily and open your awareness forever. You will see just how simple it is in a moment.

Step One: Setting up Your blog site

Setting up a blog site is as simple as getting a domain name and a hosting package. Even the cheapest (in the hosting world cheap never equates to useless just less than another hosting package with more features) hosting has a blog script built in that will get your blog infrastructure going for you. All you have to do once you set up your hosting package is to go into the Cpanel (make sure it has this type of panel actually) and click the "fantastico" icon. This is a packaged and generic (but extremely customizable group of blog scripts).

Inside you will find a series of scripts that you can use to set up your blog atmosphere. The blog script of choice with many marketers is WordPress for reasons of being easy to use, highly customizable, and upgradable with plug-ins.

These scripts are built into your hosting already so you just follow the prompts after double clicking the icon for WordPress and it will guide you through setting it up. WordPress has a large community forum base you can visit if you need help setting it up. You will in time learn all about how to play with it to make it your own design.

Now that you have your blog site set up let's set it up to generate money once we put content on it, this is step two -

Step 2: Monetization of your Blog property

There are some very intriguing ways to generate money with your blog property. You can play around with them and see which one works best for you. The only way to see which will work for YOU is to test market. You can always switch back to one if the other fails.

1. AdSense textual or pictorial ads

AdSense is a popular way to monetize your blog property because what happens is you essentially add a piece of code where you want Google to drop relevant ads on your page usually on the side bar or at the top of the blog pages. When people write articles on your blog site their articles will become laced with these ads wherever in the template you put the code. Again you can use the forums at WordPress to learn how to insert this, there are many ways to do this. When people click the ads you get paid, simple as that. It is a numbers game. The more blogs you write or get others to write and the more traffic you get to your site the more money will pour into your AdSense account.

You sign up for your AdSense account at Google.com.

2. You can place your own advertisements on the blog as well which will appear on every page just like the ads. This is a more advanced form of monetizing so you may want to start out with AdSense first to get a feel for how it works. If you do go with this option you will simply put banners on the site with code and offer to rent the space. The person paying for the space will supply the banner and will pay you for an agreed upon rate for the use of your blog space (primarily your traffic will determine how valuable this space will be).

3. You can use a method that is a cross between options one and two. Click bank is an affiliate site and offers a banner revolver that essentially puts your affiliate ID on all of the ads and every time the page is refreshed a new ad is displayed. The products in the ads are essentially being advertised so they go to a sales page. If anyone clicks through you don't get paid but if they buy the product you get a usually high commission of around 60% of what the product sells for. It fluctuates between sellers but this could be a valuable way to generate an income stream.

4. You could incorporate a few different ideas such as AdSense AND Clickbank. You may want to check with the respective sites to make sure it's ok to put both on the same page as sometimes they have rules against this sort of thing (to avoid competition).

Step 3: Build Traffic, your bread and butter

Now you have your property set up you need some blogs to give people a reason to be there (and hopefully they will click an ad). You can write your own blogs or you can invite others to do so. Many people when starting a blog site will outsource hundreds of articles to instantly populate the blog site which invites others to write write on it. For every blog page you put up you should do a rewrite of the blog of about 400 words and insert a linkback to the blog site and publish this rewrite (make it different and unique from the original just recycle the concept not the words) to an article submission site to get linkback traffic. This will raise your search engine ranking thus bringing more traffic to your site.

Websites For Profit

2009-03-26T01:13:00.000-07:00

Even with limited knowledge and experience, you can build and maintain websites for profit. Here are just some ways you can do so.

1. Develop Websites for Local Businesses

Approach local business persons and sell them on the
necessity and financial benefits of having a
professional website. Local advertising may get you
started as well, but expect to get a large portion of
your business from referrals.

Charge your clients for the initial design and setup
of the website. Work with them to develop a theme for
their site based on their unique advantages over the
competition. Keep the site simple to start with so
that the cost of producing it is not prohibitive to
the business and you can complete it profitably in a
short time.

In this business, you can also make money on the
maintenance and ongoing support of the website.
Charge recurring monthly fees for such services needed
as web hosting, updates and improvements to the site`s
content, search engine optimization and submission,
increasing traffic, traffic analysis, mailing list
production and maintenance, and much more.

You don`t have to be a master Internet programmer to
provide needed, additional services. There are many
free and low cost sources of scripts and other resources
available to you on the Internet. Offer your clients
(and charge extra for) flash introductions, animated
graphics, syndicated content, traffic counters,
submission forms, chat rooms, pop-up windows,
autoresponders, and more.

2. Sell Websites on the Internet

Build web stores, search engines, shopping portals, and
other websites and sell them on the Internet.

Some develop sites from templates sold by others.
Others build websites from scratch. These websites have
been sold on the Internet as turnkey businesses through
eBay and other websites.

Another option is to take existing free services and
resell them. For example, you could take advantage of
free web stores available to you on the Internet.
Register a suitable domain name, obtain free or low
cost web space, and host that free store at your
domain on your web space. Promote your website and
increase traffic. Finally, sell your website to the
highest bidder on eBay. Be sure that either your
Reserve Price or Opening Bid is high enough to make it
profitable to you. You will need to transfer the domain
name to the buyer.

3. Become an Internet Marketer

Build your own unique website based on a niche theme
that has a sufficient market. Then tie in your content
with appropriate affiliate programs and your own as well
as other peoples` products and services.

To increase commissions and sales, you will need to
regularly maintain your site by updating content,
increasing targeted traffic, adding appropriate products
and services, et cetera.

These, then, are just a few ways that you can profit
financially from building and maintaining websites.

If you are unsure of what is selling well, take a look at some of the online auctions and you can see how many bids certain products are getting, as well as what price they are selling for.

Experts have been known to say that the internet grows at over a million pages everyday. Don't you want to be a part of this growth? The internet provides us with a huge potential for business opportunities.

You and I can take advantage of the Internet an start selling products or services through affiliate marketing. This is one of the best ways to make money as it does so in your sleep. It is cost effective because you do not have to stock the goods, deal with the client or keep an inventory. The merchant does all that and more. This is a win-win situation for both the affiliate and the merchant because they both get something out of this. The affiliate gets the product, the marketer gets the product advertised and sold.

Affiliate marketing is not as easy as it sounds. There are many merchants out there who advertise the simplicity and easiness of their system but affiliate marketing requires a lot of hard work and determination. Having to market products you have to be able to be creative and flexible. You will need to bring new ideas and themes in order to market your products. This may take a while as you experiment through each strategy until you find the right one.

Once you sign up to the affiliate program the work begins even though the merchant provides you with the product's website you still have to market the product and then still sell it! Many new affiliates make this mistake over and over again. When the sales are not forthcoming, the affiliate quits and tries the next. I did this and it caused me to get quite frustrated until I realized that I would have put more work into the program. The affiliate who repeats this mistake eventually gives up thinking that these programs are all one big con and that they do not work. A successful affiliate program can make money while you sleep, that is if you have all the right strategies in place.
