Resource Material for Step 4

Tips on Using Blogs

Create a blog that channels to your product?s sales letter.

Create web pages with content related to the product you are promoting. The more relevant your web site is to your product, the more targeted your prospects are when you channel them to your affiliates sales letter through links and banner ads. This will improve your conversion rate as well. You can get a free blog account at www.Blogger.com.

Be sure to Post as often as you can in your blog

The minimum posting frequency should be once a week. When you start posting on your blog for the first time, include a minimum of 20 to 30 posts to start with. Your posts can consist of short articles, news, and updates related to product or the nature of a product.

If you are using Blogger.com, archive your posts on a daily basis and build internal links between your pages so that you can quickly build your blog?s Google page ranking (PR).

Make sure that all of your posts are keyword-rich and keyword-focused

The logic behind this is that it will be easy for people to search your blog via search engines. Secondly, if you are subscribed to Google AdSense, your Google ads are more focused, too.

If you don?t have your own content to post on your blog, you can use other people?s articles from article directories to post on your blog.

As long as they have reprint rights and that you include their authors? resource box, you can use other people?s articles from public article directories or other blogs to post on your blog.

Post an advertisement of a product you are promoting at the top of your page or bottom of every post.

Submit your blog to feeds and RSS to sites such as www.newsgator.com, www.feedburner.com, www.feedster.com and www.bloglines.com.

RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, allows you to publish your content on other people’s websites. You can create a feed that contains details about the products you offer and submit it to major RSS feed directories.

Tips on Using Forums

Forums are like online communities, and you should take advantage of these communities by participating in discussions and letting people know about your website in your signature.

Participate in forums where your prospects are.

You should participate in forums with the intention of helping forum members or exchange useful information. While most forums are against blatant advertising in posts, you are usually allowed to post your advertisements in your signature file. This is where you can place a link to affiliate product sales letter.

You can easily search for forums where your prospects are through search engines.

Be sure to include these keywords in your search: “forum”, “discussion board”, and “newsgroup”.

If there is a section in the forum dedicated to articles, post your article in effort to help other forum members

This is a good chance to first prove your worth and credibility. Furthermore, when you have something to offer, people are more likely to trust a person of credibility.

When starting out, actively participate in a maximum of two forums only.

You don?t want to spread your attention far and wide. You need to focus. Avoid jumping forums if possible.

And leave the forum only if the forum is inactive or the forum has poor quality prospects.

Also, If you are on the hunt for Joint Venture partners, you can PM (Private Message) potential partners in forums.

However, do make a special mention of their name and their web site, if any, so that your message won?t be classified as “spam”.

Bryan

Offline Selling Without Money:

When you are looking to promote ClickBank/PayDotCom or any affiliate program here are some offline tips.

Choose products that appeal to people and tell it in person. Phone, friend, in a line at a grocery store, on a bus, in the park. Just let your imagination go wild with this one.

Give them a link. Get a TinyUrl at http://tinyurl.com/ test the link before you use it just to make sure it works. Pass the TinyURL to a lot of people. The more the merrier. Put in on bulletin boards around your town. With a TinyURL or some other service like it you don?t even need your own website.

Enter your link in the “Enter a long URL to make tiny” box then click on “Make Tiny URL!” and a TinyURL is created just for you.

An example of a TinyURL is http://tinyurl.com/p87tr this url links to http://bbracken.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net which is to “Burn the Fat” a top selling eBook on Fat Burning Secrets of the Worlds Best Body Builders and Fitness Models. The advantage of using a TinyURL link is that it?s simple for people to write down and you to remember. Plus an added benefit is that affiliate pirates cannot steal your commissions by changing the affiliate information in the link to their affiliate id.

Another example of a TinyURL is http://tinyurl.com/f3y2b this URL links to http://bbracken.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net is to “Fat Loss 4 Idiots” another top selling eBook the description is “Download the Idiot-Proof Diet within 60 seconds – and look good in the mirror again”.

or recognize the affiliate link you will lose out.

Share the link. Get out of the house this reduces depression (if you have any J ). When you talk to the person about a link they now know the link has a face associated with it. Once a person is familiar with you, your promotion becomes a warm market. Much easier to sell.eZine Advertising – $2.00 an ad per eZine with up to 1,000,000 readers.

In your campaign manager, give a free report for other Traffic Exchange members to download in exchange for subscribing them to your e-zine or mailing list.

More Tips on Marketing

Decide and study who your target market is. Also decide how you are going to reach to them (without spamming, of course).

Announce and promote the product in your mailing list. The bigger and more responsive your subscriber list is, the more sales you can make. You can make your money within hours.

And always refrain from spamming!

This is because most of the Traffic Exchange members, like yourself are either webmasters or Internet Marketers. Members like you surf Traffic Exchange programs to earn credits so that others can visit their own site. Very likely, no members of Traffic Exchange programs are in the mood to purchase anything through the web pages seen in Traffic Exchange programs. But if you are going to use this method make sure you are advertising something that is irresistible to a web site owner or marketer. Make sure that the product or service benefits him/her so as to make him/her more money when marketing their web site or a product that makes them a boat load of money.

Writing Articles

Writing articles is a great way to drive traffic to your website, get established as an expert in your field and get your name out to thousands of people which will establish credibility.

Make an effort to include a few vital keywords in every article you write.

After you write your articles, submit them to article directories such as www.ezinearticles.com, www.goarticles.com, and www.articlecity.com.

Include a short description of yourself and a link to the product?s sales letter in your resource box. Interested e-zine publishers will take and reprint your article(s) in their own e-zines, giving you exposure and if done right, this method can generate targeted traffic to your affiliate links. To have this done right, your article must provide useful information and is of the same theme as the product you are promoting.

Submission to article directories is often free but some may require some money to list.

Bryan

Remember dark car, light colored letters and light colored car, dark letters. Window lettering always use lettering such as white, yellow or a light color since dark colors like black will not show up at a distance.

Resource Material for: Step 2

You now have something to sell with the affiliate programs you enrolled in. You now can start to make money with the different products. First ? Hopefully you have found some product to advertise that interest you.

How can I make money without a web site?

Here is a simple way of doing it on the cheap. (Step 2 – Step 4)

A Sample of websites to advertise your affiliate programs for FREE:

Each program will take a few minutes to join. Remember to keep you time to a maximum of 30 minutes this day. If it takes less than 30 minutes to join these programs than try to come up with ad copy for advertising and if time remains place some ads.

Traffic Swarm highly recommended and also so is Instant Buzz.

Resource Material for: Step 1 ? Day 1

First to make money we need products to sell.

What is an affiliate?

An affiliate is kind of like a sales man but with a higher commission. When you are looking into affiliate programs you should look for ones that offer you a percentage above 20% otherwise it really isn?t worthwhile being involved with them since there are some costs even if it is only time. As with any rule there are exceptions for example Amazon.com.

The first affiliate network you should join are two that when combined have thousands of products to chose from. When you try to choose products or services you are going to sell think niche along with something you are interested in. If you are interested in a product or service you usually will do better.

To start if you haven?t already done so you will need an email account preferably a virtual account. You need this type of email to ward off any spam that may occur when submitting to search engines or if there is a company you are not familiar with that may sell your email address. So get yourself a gmail or yahoo email account. Try not to use hotmail since it blocks a number of emails you may get.

Step 1: Takes about 5 minutes ? go to and join: PayPal payment system for the internet.

Step 2: Takes about 30 to 60 seconds ? Go to and join: ClickBank

Step 3: Takes about 2 minutes ? Go to and Join: PayDotCom.com You will need a PayPal account to use this one since you are paid with either PayPal. Both programs ClickBank and PayDotCom.com are free to set up when you are an affiliate. Collectively there are 1,000?s of products ready to sell.

Step 4: Take about 10 – 15 minutes to take a look at ClickBank and PayDotCom.com to have some familiarity with them. This is a setup day only.

With the above there are no start up costs, no inventory to carry, no shipping, you receive bi-monthly checks (Clickbank) monthly PayPal payments from PayDotCom.

I personally like Clickbank since I consistently receive a check.

When you are looking for an affiliate program, try to find niche markets that interest you. You will enjoy making money and in this way since you will not become bored.
