Factors Leading to Effective Affiliate Marketing

In order to be successful in any type of business, whether online or offline, having a full proof plan is very essential. For instance, you cannot go into a bank and opt for a loan just because you have to sell stuff, you need to have proper plan for that as well. While being a part of any online business, you will be having a website for sure and it would be of no use if your website is not getting sufficient amount of quality traffic. Talking specifically about the factors that can prove out to be effective and will also make you win in the end, there are more than you can imagine. In this piece of writing, I have decided to share some factors leading to effective affiliate marketing.

Not everyone can move ahead having an online business, you should know what overall internet is and out of all the various strategies, which one would work for your affiliate marketing campaign. There is one thing for sure that not having a strong strategy would do a lot of damage for affiliates who are new to the market. Research is very important if you do not want to lose hope or see a long period of disappointment or even lose some funds. You need to be well aware of things such as the market’s trends and how to bring in traffic for instance. Also you need to make adjustments to your affiliate marketing strategy and design it in a manner that would suit you perfectly.

The whole sales process needs to be kept in mind when planning out a strategy from start till the end. The very first thing that tells that your strategy is working well is the sign of people coming to your site through various links that you have placed. You should know that every affiliate marketer in this line would be having a plan so do something different or do the same thing but in a better way.

You should approach people through various ways such as article marketing, talking at forums with them, helping them out at a place like Yahoo Answers, interacting with them and building a relation by doing email marketing and etc. Effective affiliate marketing is not something which is to directly try and sell things, build good relations with your visitors first. If they are not really looking for what you have then be friendly and kind enough to recommend them a place where they can find what they need, this won’t make you sell something to them, but it will surely develop your reputation in the minds of the visitors.

Boost Your Backlinks for More Authority

Guest Post by Steve Schafer

Any internet marketing expert will tell you that backlinks are very important when it comes to improving your rank with the various search engines. More backlinks means a higher page rank. A higher page rank means your website is highly respected in the cyberworld.

That is what you may have heard, but is it really true?

Not completely. True authority comes only with quality links. In other words, not just any old links will do. To really increase the authority of your website you must have indexed links that actually have staying power. Accumulating comment links and sending the same article to every directory you can think of just will not get the job done. Instead, you need to implement something called link boosting.

Effective Article Submission

The first step in link boosting does involve article submission to your favorite directories but with a twist. After I have finished a new post for any of my blogs, I prepare a 400 word summary of that post and rewrite it several times. I take care to make sure the rewrites are absolutely unique and submit a different article to each directory on my favorites list. Some of these rewrites also get used as guest posts to other blogs, and all of them will link back to my original post and home page.

Even More Article Submission

Once the submissions have been accepted, I get to work writing an article on a subject that is closely related to the first one. Rewrites of this post get submitted to directories like hubpages and squiddoo, among others. This time the links point to the first set of articles that were sent in. Finally, for added boost, I will bookmark the second set of posts to a couple dozen bookmark sites.

How it Works

The basic idea here is to leverage the page rank of the sites that rank better than yours. Getting a website to at least PR4 is time consuming and not an easy thing to do. Article directories are already sitting at PR5 or PR6. You can use that to your own benefit. Just think about how hard you have to work just to get a PR3 backlink. One of the articles I submitted to ezinearticles.com received a PR3 and I had only pointed a single link back to it. Now that article and the home page have a PR3 link.

While doing your link building, there are a few things that you should keep in mind.

* Quantity is good, but quality is better – In content links from an authority site within your niche is the best backlink you can get.

* Authority “opinion” sites are not far behind – Being mentioned (with a backlink) in someone’s personal blog that gets a lot of traffic and backlinks is almost as good as getting one from an authority site in your niche.

* Blogroll links are not as great as people think – Trading blogroll links will get you a lot of links, if done with big sites, but the links will not count nearly as much as in content links.

* Most comment links are garbage – Leaving good quality comments with a link back to your site is a good way to get people to visit and interact with your site, but not so great for link juice.

This is how you gain authority – by getting strong backlinks that stay. Take the time to do it right and don’t take shortcuts. It takes a bit more work than some of the other link building strategies, but it is well worth the extra work.

Sell Information Products through Clickbank for a Passive Online Income

Guest post by Paul McCarthy

You're probably here because you want to make money online which is why I wanted to put this quick post together for you. I'm going to tell you how you can make money online by harnessing the knowledge that you already have....And if you don't already have the knowledge, then you can learn it in no time at all!

It's really important that you read to the end of this article because you'll be armed with all the instruction you need to earn a passive income online by selling digital information.

Did you realise that selling information products is a multi-million dollar business online? In fact, one guy alone (he goes by the name of Eben Pagan) has generated over 100 million dollars in revenue solely by selling digital information products online. So, now you understand the overwhelming potential of this business, let me tell you how to do it!

How Do You Make Money Online by Selling Information Products?

Firstly, you need to decide whether you want to sell your own information products or whether you want to sell other people's information products for commission. If you're starting out in this business and you want to get your feet wet, then I'd suggest selling the work of someone else to learn the marketing strategies that you'll need before you start to create your own products.

Let me just quickly say that once you have made money online as an affiliate, I recommend that you become a product creator as soon as you feel comfortable doing so. As an information product creator, you can then have an army of affiliates selling your products (rather than the other way round) – and of course you'll make money with each sale. In short, you have a high earning potential as a product creator instead of being just an affiliate.

In this article, I want to tell you about a web site that will allow you to find thousands of digital information products that you can sell today....The site is called Clickbank.

Tell Me More About Clickbank...

Clickbank contains a huge library of digital assets that have already been created and are ready to be sold. This means that you don't have to go through the time consuming process of creating your own information products.

There are a few great features about Clickbank that you should be aware of:-

Firstly, they handle all transactions which means you don't have to worry about payment processing and security – all that complicated stuff is taken care of.

Secondly, Clickbank pay out on time, every time. I have been an affiliate with Clickbank for a long time now (I also have a few products on there too) and they have never missed a pay cheque. You can paid every two weeks directly into your bank account or by check if you prefer.

Thirdly, they provide sophisticated analytics so you can see how many people you have referred to the sales page of a product, how many of those visitors viewed the order form and, of course, how many of them purchased the product.

So, What Do I Have to Do to Make Money with Clickbank?

The first thing you need to is sign up for an account at http://www.clickbank.com. By doing this you will be set up with a unique username (the correct terminology in Clickbank is “nickname”) and this will be the nickname that is used to form what's called affiliate links.

Now, to make money as an affiliate you simply need to get people to click on your affiliate link so that they are taken to the product sales page and then when they buy the product you earn a commission.

One of the great reasons for promoting information products online is that the profit margin is so high. If you tried to become an affiliate for Amazon.com (to sell physical products) then you'd typically only expect to earn 5% of the total value of the product. As a Clickbank affiliate, it is normal to earn 50% and sometimes even 75% of the product value for making sales.

Where Can I Find The Products to Promote?

There is a section within Clickbank called the “Marketplace”. In here you'll find a series of categories (“Health and Fitness” for example) and under each category there are a list of products. You can choose any one of the products to promote and you can generate your affiliate links by clicking on “Promote”.

Once you have generated your affiliate link (or “hoplink” as they're known on Clickbank) you can then add the link to your web site, email signatures, articles...Anywhere you like...to get people to buy through that link.

Once you've decided on a marketing strategy, you then simply need to get traffic. I will be publishing another post that will talk about all the traffic strategies I use to make money by selling information products (the majority of my online income comes from selling digital products) very shortly.

Information Products are the Way to Go!

I have to say that once you've got a system for marketing digital products online, it is really just a case of replicating that system for different products. And once you're at this stage then you can pretty much scale your income up to heights you wouldn't believe.

Your First Hugely Important Steps to Making Money Online

Guest Post by Paul McCarthy

In this post I'm going to show you how you can get started making money online in as short time as possible. This process is one that I've been using for the past year to make money online and “fire” my boss.

The great thing about this way of working is that you don't need to have any special knowledge, skills or experience. In fact, if you're not comfortable with doing anything that I mention in this article then you can simply find somebody to do it for you by outsourcing the work to a site like http://www.elance.com.

The First Step to Making Money Online is Finding your Profitable Passion

Our ultimate goal is to create a residual online business that brings in money while we're asleep. It sounds like a far-fetched idea, but let me reassure you that some of my friends are actually doing 7 figures a year online and they really do earn while they're asleep.

Obviously it takes a bit of work to get to 7 figures a year! And it all starts with finding your profitable passion. There is one question that I need you to ask yourself...It's this: How can I help others?

The amount of money in your bank account is in direct proportion to the amount of value that you can provide for others. I want you to stop thinking about yourself and start thinking for others.

What Problems Can You Solve for Other People?

Let me give you an example. Years ago I used to suffer from quite severe acne. Now through a heck of a lot of research, trial and error I actually found a way to heal my poor skin naturally. This knowledge would be hugely valuable to other acne sufferers out there.

In fact, I'm willing to say, that if I took some time to figure out a way of reaching these people with acne problems then it would be very profitable for me.

What problems can you solve? What do you have experience in? And, if you can't think of anything, then ask yourself what you'd be willing to research to help others.

Once you've found your “profitable passion” then it's simply a matter of reaching your target market.

Broadcast your Message through your Web Site...

Now it's simply a case of setting up your web site and also setting up what's called a profit funnel.

Your web site should really have one goal in mind – and that's to capture the names and email addresses of visitors to your site. Once you have people on your list then you're in a great position to push them down what's called a “profit funnel”.

A profit funnel is simply a series of messages that you send to your list. Some of those messages will contain valuable free information (in fact, I always recommend sending lots of free, valuable information for a couple of weeks after your visitors have joined your list) and other messages will contain sales pitches to products that you have created yourself, or that other people own.

Of course, if you sell somebody else's product then you're entitled to a commission.

The Great Thing about this Business is...

The really great aspect of this business is that once everything is set up then it truly runs on autopilot. Can you imagine what it would be like to have a web site and a fully fledged profit funnel making you money each day without having to go to work?

It's a dream that is absolutely possible, you just need to understand the system and then implement it.

Remember – provide real value in abundance, and you'll get even more value in return! And the wealth will flow to you in streams.

You really have to take advantage of these valuable tools while starting out your marketing with facebook. You shouldn’t get scared when we mentioned these facebook pages because it doesn’t require any special skill to set up. You can easily set it up the same way you got your personal profile page up.

Marketing with facebook is even made much easier by the free access to visitors analytics tools and a precise report on your fan base as well as their activites. This will help you to know the kind of persons or businesses that are following your updates. It is very easy for you to constantly send your updated facebook pages to other facebook accounts that are following your page. The importance of sending these sorts of message to your fans is more appreciated when you want to alert them of certain new developments in your business. That way, you would be sure that they got your message and the possibility of getting positive response is always higher if your fan base constitutes mostly of visitors who are interested in your kind of business.

How to Make $3000 per month - A Detailed Guide

Guest Post by Indu Priya

There are many ways to make money online. But this article contains the method I personally use to make $100 per day.

Step1: Decide two ways of making money. I personally make money from list building and affiliate marketing. I work full time focusing on building my list and promoting the affiliate product.

Step2: Write a free ebook and giveaway to the people who subscribe to your list. For your affiliate product, create a blog with 5 articles related the product, including a review of the product.

Step3: Initially, dedicate your time for both list building and promoting affiliate products. Subscribe to the newsletters of 5 experts in your niche and observe how they are promoting their
products. Make a list of their promotional activities. Start implementing them.

Make a list of promotional campaigns that worked for you. Repeat the methods to promote your site.

Once you have a list of 200, you can start making money by promoting your products to your subscribers. Communicate with your subscribers and try to offer the products they desire.

Once you start making a steady income of $200 per month (you can achieve this in a month), focus on promoting the affiliate product. Implement the same marketing methods that you used for building your list. Apart from that, invest $50 - $100 per month on paid advertising.

Do you want to know what 90% of millionaire level marketing experts use for traffic? It's not f'ree traffic, it's paid traffic.

I extensively invest on banner advertising in niche blogs. They do not cost more than $50 per month and I make a minimum of 5 sales from each blog.

Let me tell you another secret. Try to promote products related to dating, fitness and forex. Write 5 articles daily with a link to your blog in the resource box and submit them to ezinearticles.com. These niches do so well in ezinearticles.com that you can easily get 100
views per article.

Let us make some calculations. Let us assume that if 100 people read your article, 10 of them will click on your link. You can expect 1 sale for every 100 visitors. This means that you can make a sale every alternative day. Now, if you get a commission of $20 per sale, you can
easily make $1000 per month.

Repeat, repeat and repeat. Repeat whatever worked for you. Within a couple of months (It took 5 months for me), you can easily make $3000 per month.
