Success on Article Marketing – Part 5 of 5

Success on Article Marketing – Part 5 of 5

In part five, the last in this series, lets share some resources and tools to help make your Article Marketing efforts more productive. I’ve found Article Marketing to be hugely successful, but it can also be exhausting without the right tools.

Here are 3 tools/resources to make Article Marketing easier :

1. ) MarketLeap – One of the big benefits to writing and submitting articles is the huge influx of “one-way backlinks” you’ll enjoy as a result. In order to track your effectiveness, you need an easy way to check your progress and MarketLeap.com offers this. Once on their site, click the “Link Popularity” link and enter your site’s URL. Marketleap will tell you how many links it found in Google, Yahoo and MSN.

2. ) NoteTab -- Note Tab is a free text-editor that is easy to use and extremely handy for Article Marketers. After creating your article in a word processor, paste it into Note Tab and let it remove the unnecessary formatting and force your articles to be 60 characters in length. This is fast and easy to do and will score you big points with Article Directory Editors.

3. ) InstantArticleWizard – If you have difficulty writing articles, check out Instant Article Wizard software. It crawls the web and returns you short paragraphs from a variety of websites that are relevant to your article topic. Armed with this information, you can rearrange the text, re-word sections in your own “voice,” and add a few new transitions and voila ... you’ve got yourself an article filled with unique content.

I hope you have found this series to be interesting and beneficial and wish you much success in your Article Marketing efforts.

Guide to Success with Affiliate Marketing Programs

Guide to Success with Affiliate Marketing Programs

Perhaps the best way to get your earnings up is to join an affiliate marketing program that gives you step-by-step instructions on how to be successful. This is extremely common when you choose to promote information products, especially ebooks from Clickbank.

It's not uncommon for affiliate marketing programs to expect you to know everything about running a successful marketing campaign - even if you don't. Make sure you choose an affiliate marketing program that is geared towards beginners, if you are a beginner. And don't waste your time getting rehashed information on the basics, if you're an intermediate affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing programs with detailed instructions on how to properly promote a product or service are invaulable. They're a great way for new affiliates to learn the ropes, while veteran affiliate marketers are assured that a program is professional. Affiliate marketing programs that offer training videos and even free websites to those that sign up can help make the difference between an affiliate marketer who makes money, and one who gives up in frustration.

The alternative, which many people opt for instead, is to learn affiliate marketing through pouring over forum posts and scrounging together enough cash to buy the latest ebook. While this is certainly a viable strategy, and one that is perhaps the most popular, it's entirely possible to learn the ropes of affiliate marketing by involving oneself with one good affiliate marketing program that explains all of the steps. Clickbank products, typically ebooks, are often the best affiliate marketing programs when it comes to helping affiliates be successful.

An affiliate marketing program removes the guesswork and reduces the time necessary to learn affiliate marketing. Getting started with your affiliate program should be easy. You'll need to create campaigns for affiliate marketing, and test and tweak these campaigns ever so slightly to ensure maximum conversion - and thus, maximum profits.

If you're unclear on how to accomplish some of these goals, though, don't fret. Affilaite marketing is a big subject, and it can take a while to learn all of the necessary skills required to be successful. By choosing an affiliate marketing program that fits your specific needs, you'll be doing yourself a huge favor.

7. ) Good Communication

Guide to Affiliate Networking

Guide to Affiliate Networking

Many new affiliate marketers choose an affiliate network based on the recommendation of other affiliate marketers who may have found success promoting a certain product offered by that affiliate network.

But the dark secret that most affiliate networks don't want to reveal is that their affiliate managers don't really understand the marketing game. If they did, wouldn't they be in the affiliate game - a much more profitable endeavor than customer support ?

2. ) Poor Support

Many affiliate networks simply do not have a working support structure in place to help the majority of their affiliates be successful. The onus is on you, the affiliate to work through problems and learn the ropes. Most affiliate networks do not provide any training whatsoever, and of those that do, it's usually marginal at best.

Good ones will show you how to drive traffic to your websites, how to create websites that convert visitors into buyers, and will allow you to earn passive income with as little as 30 minutes invested per day. Good hunting !

Best Money Making Opportunities in an Affiliate Program Directory

Best Money Making Opportunities in an Affiliate Program Directory

An affiliate program directory is a place where many program directors and owners of products go to list their own affiliate programs. This opens up their programs to the market of available affiliates, and, ideally, attracts affiliates willing to promote the product. How can you, as an affiliate, use such directories to make money online ?

An affiliate program directory will list the various kinds of affiliate programs available. Many beginning marketers have only a vague idea of the many types of products and services that can be promoted as an affiliate. It may surprise you to learn that some of the products you use every day are being promoted by affiliates - in fact, you may own something that was sold to you by an affiliate.

You can sort the lists based on your needs to find the program that works best for you. This is the best way to utilize an affiliate program directory. Often the directory will list out details that will help you determine if a partnership makes sense.

Choosing an Affiliate Program

Choosing an Affiliate Program

Choosing an affiliate program can be as stressful as it is exciting. You always want to make sure that you're spending your time wisely, and developing campaigns for an affiliate program that's new or unfamiliar to you can be an exercise in frustration. Many times you simply have to speculate as to how to best promote an affiliate program's products, as there may be no solid foundation provided for affiliate marketers to base their campaigns on.

If you only have a few hours to spend every night working on affiliate marking part time, then you want to be sure the affiliate program you've chosen will help you maximize the time you're spending. And, of course, if you've chosen to do affiliate marketing as your full-time means of earning income, then choosing the correct affiliate program becomes all the more critical.

Here are a few tips that will help you recognize when an affiliate program is right for you :


1. ) The Commissions they offer are Competitive.

Many times affiliates can earn even more from a sale than the business offering the product! This is often the case when promoting ebooks, which can have commission rates as high as 75% of the total product. You'll want to make sure the affiliate program's product is going to earn you enough to recoup your costs. Avoid products that earn you less than $15 per sale.

2. ) A Good Affiliate Program offers Support.

If your affiliate program does not have any kind of support structure in place to help you be a successful affiliate marketer, you should immediately question how serious they are about making sure affiliates are able to earn income. A professionally run program understands that the more sales affiliates are able to make, the more then affiliate program will earn money for its owners.

3. ) A Wide Range of Resources.

The program managers must make a good selection of tools and other materials available for affiliates to help them along their way. Examples of good resources include keyword lists or keyword generation tools, examples of sales letters or content for affiliates to adapt for their own marketing purposes, and banners and other forms of advertising affiliates can use.

Partnering with a good affiliate program is key to being successful at affiliate marketing. Choose wisely.

How to Select a Top Affiliate Program

How to Select a Top Affiliate Program

Choosing the right affiliate program can make the difference between being a successful affiliate marketer, and one that fails within the first few months. Super affiliates have this down to a science, but new affiliates can often be confused by the terms or requirements listed in the program's details.

There is a strategy to picking the top affiliate programs that can help you be more successful, however. This strategy is derived from the experiences of some of the highest-paid, most experienced affiliate marketers. What are the key differentiating factors that make a top affiliate program, and what should you look for to avoid frustration with a subpar program?

1. ) The Product or Service must be in Demand

There must be some kind of interest in the products being offered, and you have to be able to substantiate the claims of the product's creators. Do your own research here, and work your way down from the top. Affiliate programs that are worth your time will be selling something that people actually need.

2. ) Good Commissions

The commission must high enough to make up for your expenses, such as cost of buying pay-per-click ads. Avoid promoting products that have low commissions for affiliates. A top affiliate program will offer enticing commissions - 50% of a sale is typical.

3. ) Great Support

There should be some kind of obvious support structure in place that's offered by a top affiliate program. The support they offer should extend beyond a recorded message on a phone, or a form email in response to your inquiry.

4. ) Professional Image

The copy on their sites should be written in a convincing and engaging way. A top affiliate program will be able to hire professionals to help flesh out their offerings. If there are obvious typos or poorly-written content, then the product they're offering may be of similar quality.

5. ) Trustworthy

A top affiliate program will display some kind of money-back guarantee in a prominent location. Those who fail to offer any kind of guarantee on their product may be producing something that is of poor quality.

6. ) Proven Success

Top affiliate programs will have a history of success. If they can't prove they've been successfully promoted by a range of affiliates, then you should look elsewhere.

7. ) Buzzworthy

The top affiliate programs are often the ones most people are talking about. Professionalism will be evident in the breadth of their marketing campaign. If no one's heard of them, how can they be considered to be the best?

If you follow these guidelines, you'll find yourself in good company with some of the top affiliate programs available.

There are many reasons why pay per click is so popular in affiliate marketing. Here are some keys to being successful with pay per click advertising for affiliate marketing campaigns.

1. ) Immediacy

Pay per click advertising is a way to see immediate results. Whereas other forms of marketing ( SEO, article marketing, etc. ) can take weeks or months to produce reliable results, pay per click affiliate marketers can begin seeing results within hours.

2. ) Challenge

Pay per click is harder than it seems at first blush, which is why so many people are seeking out knowledge about the subject.

Sometimes everything might look right, and you think all the fundamentals of a campaign are lining up nicely to produce a seriously successful campaign. Then, for some unknown reason, nothing works the way you expect. It happens.

5. ) Testing

Pay per click affiliate marketers can use ads to help test how successful a larger marketing campaign will be by fine-tuning copy. Create multiple variations of your ads, and split test them.

7 Steps to Becoming a Successful Affiliate

7 Steps to Becoming a Successful Affiliate

1. ) Get Educated

Knowledge is power, and this is especially true when it comes to affiliate marketing. Be prepared to invest in your education, in both time and money. Being an affiliate is one of the best ways to earn income. Treat it with professionalism.

2. ) Practice makes Perfect

Remember that it takes time to learn the necessary skills. Have patience and don't get frustrated if you don't see early results. Certain kinds of traffic generation processes can take weeks or months to create the results you desire.

3. ) Choose Products that excite you

It's important to be "sold" on the product or service you're recommending. If you don't like it or use it yourself, your marketing campaigns will be lackluster, and people will be able to tell. Nothing is more mind-numbing than working as an affiliate on a campaign that bores you to tears. You'll just end up wasting your time and money.

4. ) Content is King

Perhaps the most important aspect of a successful affiliate marketing campaign is having content that is engaging, interesting, and motivates readers to take action. You can either write this content yourself or outsource it to a freelance writer. If you have a lot of campaigns you must work on, outsourcing is an attractive option.

5. ) Traffic is Supreme

There are many ways to direct traffic to your affiliate sites. Don't focus on only one ; instead, choose a diverse range of marketing strategies to get people to your affiliate sites. Article marketing, SEO, PPC, and forum promotion are all extremely useful for generating traffic.

6. ) Analyze

Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of affiliate marketing is the analysis of data. You need to know who is visiting your site, where they're coming from, how long they stay, and more. Not knowing this information can lead to loss of potential income or a failed campaign.

7. ) Duplicate

Once you've found a formula that works for you, repeat it. Even if you're only making $15 per day from a campaign, if you can duplicate your success with other products, that $15 will become $30, and $30 becomes $45, and so on. This is one of the best ways to earn income as an affiliate, and how most people begin : start small and repeat.

Success With Affiliate Marketing Programs

Success With Affiliate Marketing Programs

Affiliate marketing is becoming one of the hottest ways to earn income online, and with good reason : it's easy to get started, doesn't require a lot of startup money, and the resources that teach how to become successful are plentiful.

Here are some tips for easing your entry into affiliate marketing, how to improve your results, and how to increase revenue generated by sales.

1. ) Most Affiliate Marketers won't be forthcoming with specifics

This is for good reason : they don't want more competition. You shouldn't be upset because of this, because it means that only the people who are hungry for success will make it.

2. ) Becoming a Super Affiliate takes Innovation

Copying what other people are doing is a great way to go nowhere, because that's what everyone else is doing. Those who come up with innovative marketing techniques will always pull ahead of the pack. Focus 80% of your time in affiliate marketing to coming up with new ideas and unique approaches to old problems.

3. ) The Affiliate Marketing game is always changing

As an affiliate marketer, you have to change with it. Google is well-known for smacking down those new to the affiliate marketing game. Whether you're into SEO or PPC, you must always keep abreast of the latest news in the affiliate marketing arena. Those who fail to do this will certainly see their income drop over a relatively short amount of time.

4. ) Test

Testing your affiliate marketing campaigns and analyzing data gathered from your websites will reveal surprising results. This is the key differentiating factor between people who are successful at affiliate marketing and those who fail at it. You'll always struggle to get results ( much less understand why you got the results you did ) if you're not testing and tweaking the details based on your test results.

5. ) Always use Backend Sales

Backend sales ( recommending higher-priced companion products to complement a recent purchase ) can easily account for more profits than your initial offer. This is the key that many new to affiliate marketing overlook, and is one of the reasons that experienced affiliate marketers gain a reputation as "super affiliates." If someone has already bought from you, that person is much more likely to buy again. Follow up a sale with a companion product offer, and see your earnings shoot through the roof.

Affiliate marketing takes dedication and patience, but with the right strategy and good support structure, virtually anyone can be a successful affiliate marketer. Keep at it !

What to Avoid When Choosing a Free Online Affiliate Program

What to Avoid When Choosing a Free Online Affiliate Program

1. ) Excessive Hype

It's understandable that a new product or service is going to be hyped. Advertising and marketing must be promoted to spread the word. However hype can backfire when the product simply doesn't live up to the mythical aura created to promote it.

2. ) Outrageous Claims

Can you make a million dollars without lifting a finger ? Unless your name is Warren Buffett or Bill Gates, don't count on it. Free online affiliate programs often will claim that what they have to offer is

3. ) Poor products

Sometimes the product just doesn't deliver. Unless you're testing out every product that you happen to promote ( a good idea, but sometimes impractical to accomplish ), you're going to run across products that simply don't perform the way either you or the customer expects. If you can't try the product yourself, locate unbiased reviews before you begin a campaign that could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars in wasted advertising fees.

4. ) No demand

Everything looks right : the PPC campaign has the right keywords, the product is fantastic, and the sales letter is smokin'. But there's a problem : no one actually wants to buy ! Make sure you fully understand the market before you get in too deep with a free online affiliate program. Just because it says "free" doesn't mean you won't lose any money if things go unexpectedly wrong.

5. ) Marginal profits

Free online affiliate programs usually don't have the problem of offering low commissions. However, you'll occasionally encounter a product that seems great, but the cost of promoting it nearly outweighs the profit potential. Doing a thorough cost / benefit analysis in your initial planning stages can save you a lot of time and money.

6. ) Shoddy copywriting

Nothing kills a good product like bad salesmanship. The free online affiliate program you select should have a sales letter that sings. If it doesn't, no matter how well you promote it, the product may not sell. If you think there are problems with the sales page, ask an affiliate manager directly if it can be updated - or if your campaign can link directly to the checkout page.

7. ) Vague wording

Sometimes free online affiliate programs make promises to consumers and affiliates alike about various aspects of their product or affiliate program. Make sure you understand exactly what you're getting into before you start promoting something. Nothing will sting worse than sales you lose because you failed to understand an unclear passage in the terms and conditions.

If you follow these tips, you'll find yourself involved with the best free online affiliate programs out there. Good luck !

Make Money With No Investment

Make Money With No Investment

What are free affiliate programs, and why are they considered to be one of the best ways to make money in the 21st century ?

Affiliate marketing is a venture wherein an individual ( the affiliate ) decides to promote a product or service, and in exchange, when a customer buys based off the affiliates recommendation, the affiliate is paid a portion of the income as a commission. Think of affiliate marketing as being sort of like being an online salesperson, while the free affiliate program you choose do promote is your employer.

Here's how to become a great affiliate marketer in 8 easy steps :

1. ) Decide whether you're In or you're Out.

Affiliate marketing is not the simplest means of earning income. If you're looking for "easy," get a McJob flipping burgers or doing customer service. Affiliate marketing requires that you be intelligent, resourceful, and entrepreneurial. The benefits offered by various free affiliate programs are usually enough to get you started down the path.

2. ) Learn Basic Web Programming.

While you can get away without knowing any programming at all, having a good understanding of HTML markup and even a basic programming language like PHP will get you far, and you'll be ahead of about 90% of your competition. Free affiliate programs usually do not offer services that teach you how to program. This you'll have to learn on your own.

3. ) Get up to speed on Marketing and Advertising Techniques.

Unless you're coming from a background in marketing or you have a MBA, the most experience you've likely had with the subject is being the recipient of advertising. You must learn how to create ads that sell, or at least be able to recognize good ad copy from bad copy if you choose to outsource your advertising development. A free affiliate program may offer you advertising examples you can use as your own.

4. ) Find a Free Affiliate Program that can mentor you.

Many of the best free affiliate programs offer a section for new affiliates that can get you up to speed on the efficient promotion of their product or service. Some programs will even give you a free version of their product to help you better understand promotion methods.

5. ) Decide what Marketing Methods you want to use.

There are a multitude of ways to get people visiting your affiliate promotions. Some are free, while some cost money. Free methods usually take time, whereas paid marketing generally has more immediate results.

6. ) Build your Affiliate Marketing Campaign.

This is where everything you've learned above comes together. Your first attempts may bomb. Don't fret. Persistence pays off in affiliate marketing, and since you've chosen to promote products from free affiliate programs, your investment is minimal.

7. ) Launch !

This is the easiest part. Sit back and see what happens.

8. ) Analyze the results.

And this is the most important part. If you don't understand what's happening in your campaigns, and how to fix it, then you won't be successful. Your free affiliate program may offer resources which will help you better understand the results of your marketing.

The Best Affiliate Program - Making Big Money As an Affiliate

The Best Affiliate Program - Making Big Money As an Affiliate

By know you know that affiliate marketing is a great way to earn income, either part-time or full time. And you're probably sold on the idea that passive income is the best kind of income to earn, as it requires very little day-to-day management of income earning systems. But what are the best affiliate programs to promote ?

Poker

Some poker sites will pay several hundred dollars for each unique sign-up for their poker sites. People who sign up for poker sites can spend several thousand dollars at a given online casino, so you can see why this can be extremely lucrative for affiliates and casinos alike. Poker sites are generally the best affiliate programs out there. The downside is that online gambling is frowned upon in the United States, so you may have to promote overseas casinos.

Mortgages

Mortgages can be extremely profitable, as the multi-billion dollar lending industry clearly demonstrates. You don't even have to actually get people to buy mortgages, all mortgage affiliate programs are lead-based, meaning you just have to get people to fill out an application, and you'll get paid. The best affiliate program for mortgages will provide you with marketing materials directly from the lender.

University or College

Universities can earn thousands of dollars over the course of several years from prospective students looking to earn their degrees. Whether the university is offering physical classes or online distance learning, the commissions from the best affiliate programs for universities can be awe-inspiring.

Debt Consolidation

Like mortgages, debt consolidation programs are based on leads rather than successful debt consolidation loans being issued. As the United States becomes more laden with debt, more people will need to seek out debt consolidation loans. Expect this to be a sector seeing tremendous growth in the future.

eBooks

Perhaps the most ubiquitous and well known product on the internet, the best affiliate program for new affiliate marketers to start with are ebooks. Since the cost of producing a book is negligible, the commissions on ebooks are often sky-high. The best affiliate programs will offer you tons of content in their affiliate sections, and it's usually very easy to get started promoting these products.

There are a couple downsides to promoting the best affiliate programs. Number one, there is a lot of competition. Since many affiliate marketers are well aware that these are the programs that offer the highest profit potential, many flock here - including the best of the best, the so-called "super affiliates."

The second problem with these sectors is related to the first. Since there is so much competition, it can be difficult to earn large profits. If your advertising costs more because of increased competition, your profit margins will shrink. This makes it difficult for brand-new affiliates to get involved in some of the best affiliate programs.

The best suggestion is to start small and don't get discouraged. You can always move up to the highest paying affiliate programs later, once you've mastered the basics. Remember : there's always room for more sales.

The Pros And Cons

The Pros And Cons

So, you want to be an affiliate marketer. No, this isn't going to be a take off of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" or John Patrick's "So You Want To Be A Gambler."

What this is going to be is a straight forward no BS look at the pros and cons of affiliate marketing. Just like anything else in the world, there is good and bad to this method of earning an income online. Make no mistake about it ... there is opportunity here. However, not understanding what's involved can lead you down a dark dead end street with noway to back up.

Okay, let's cover the pros first because everybody wants to know what's in it for them.

The pros of affiliate marketing, to start with, revolve around the work involved, primarily product creation. There is none. That's probably the biggest relief for the affiliate marketer. You don't have to slave for weeks creating your own product. If you don't really know what's involved with product creation, pick up a good book on the subject. You'll discover that there is a lot to it.

Affiliate marketing is also easier on the wallet. In creating your own product, aside from the time it takes to actually put a product together, you also have quite a few expenses when it comes to product creation, especially if you want to create a top notch product. Yes, there are shortcuts and work arounds, but like with anything else, you'll only get out of it what you put into it. Product creation simply has more expenses than affiliate marketing because of the nature of it.

Okay, but what about the cons of affiliate marketing ?

Well, unlike selling your own product where you collect payments regardless of whether you sold the product or one of your affiliates sold the product, with affiliate marketing, you only make money when you make the sale. In addition to that, you're also competing with every other affiliate selling that same product. So the competitionis more intense.

The good news to all this is that there are methods you can use that will make your affiliate marketing experience a breeze. You can discover the secrets that i personally use to market my every affiliate campaign ... click on here to find out more ...

You'll find that selling products as an affiliate is a snap with this system.
Amazing ...

What's Wrong with 95% of Affiliate Marketers ?

What's Wrong with 95% of Affiliate Marketers ?

Do you know why 95% of all affiliate marketers don't make a dime or very little money at all ? It's because they don't have a plan. And if they do have a plan, it's a poor one. If you're in this sameboat, don't feel bad. I used to be clueless too. When I first started affiliate marketing, I didn't know what I was doing and my results showed.

The first problem affiliate marketers run into is that they don't know how to pick a product. Some of them literally close their eyes and pick one at random.

Doesn't matter what it is, right ?

I mean they're all the same, right ? Wrong.

Picking your product carefully is one of the most important things you can do. It can be the make or break to the whole process.

After product selection, we have promotion. Look, I know that affiliates want to have all these pre-made ads so that all they have to do is copy and paste them into an email and they're done. But think about this. If every affiliate does the same thing, does anybody's ad stand out ? Of course not. You have to give the prospect a reason to buy from you, and sending out the same ad as every other affiliate marketer is not going to cut the mustard.

And one of the biggest mistakes affiliate marketers make is not checking out the reputation of the person's product. Why would you want to sell a product made by somebody who has the worst reputation in the world ?

I don't know about you, but I sure wouldn't want anything to do with the guy. Ultimately, if you promote crappy products, two things will happen. The first is that you'll end up with a lot of refunds. The second is that, eventually, nobody is going to listen to anything you have to say.

And the above is only the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, if you want to know exactly what you need to do when it comes to affiliate marketing and become a true supper affiliate, check out this site.

Secrets to Affiliate Marketing Success

Secrets to Affiliate Marketing Success

Affiliate marketing on the Internet is possibly one of the most lucrative means to making money there is. Of course, you need a certain amount of knowledge in order to make large commission checks. The money will not start flowing in until you lay the groundwork for your success.

This article is going to reveal four effective methods in setting the groundwork for selling large amounts of affiliate products without hassle.

#1 - Start with Great Content

Your website should offer content that is both relevant and useful to your target market. This will automatically inspire trust and respect with visitors. This first step is critical.

If you have a site that you hastily throw together in order to make a buck, then you are better off not getting involved in affiliate marketing. People need to feel that you are respectable, trustworthy, and able before they will listen to your suggestions. Your content should prove your knowledge and experience and be of great value to your visitors.

#2 - Insert a Soft Sell in your Content

Insert a soft sell of one or two affiliate products in the course of your content. A soft sell is exactly what it sounds like : To softly, passively promote a product. You should avoid sales pitch style promoting at all costs. This will turn people off and make them want to leave your site.

Here's an example : Let's say your content is about lawn care, and you are marketing a fertilizer that does wonders for lawns. During the course of your well-written content, all you have to do is mention the product and say that it has done great things for you. That's it. Anything else and you are getting into a sales pitch. Simply insert a quick blurb about the product in an appropriate part of your content and provide a link to the company that produces it.

#3 - Promoting Affiliate Products

Promote at least three affiliate products at once. It is important to diversify your affiliate products. This ensures a much more stable income, because it is produced by multiple sources. It is never a good idea to put all of your efforts into promoting a single product. This leaves you very vulnerable.

If only one product is bringing in your entire income, what happens if the company suddenly goes under or cuts the commission payouts in half ? It would be disastrous to your cash flow. You would be left seeking out a new product and a new marketing scheme for it. This can be very difficult, especially if your whole site was geared toward promoting that one product. If on the other hand, you have three or more affiliate products regularly bringing in income it wouldn't be near as big a concern if one of the companies went out of business or cut down their payouts.

#4 - Create a Viral eBook

Create a viral ebook loaded with affiliate links. A viral ebook is basically a free ebook that is spread by word of mouth. Viral ebooks are a great way to market affiliate products. Suppose you create a viral ebook about how to start an Internet business. Place affiliate links throughout the book. There could be a link to an autoresponder company, a web hosting company, and anything else an Internet marketer would need to start a business.

If anybody clicks on the links within the book and buys one of the products, you get a commission. Everyone wins. The person reading the book gets set up with great services, the companies you promote get more business, and you make loads of affiliate commissions. Viral ebooks can also help to generate a lot of fresh traffic to your website.

Effective Affiliate Marketing

Effective Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the simplest ways to earn money online. The reason affiliate marketing is so lucrative is you are paid up to 75% of the purchase price - and all you need to do is drive interested visitors to the vendors site. As an affiliate marketer you do not have to worry about product development, product fulfillment, or even support - you need to only focus on one thing and that is sending targeted visitors to a website.

Although there are literally thousands of books and ebooks written on the subject, earning money online with affiliate marketing boils down to :

#1 - Driving targeted, interested visitors to a website
#2 - Converting those visitors into revenue - sales


Concerned with driving targeted traffic

As an affiliate marketer you therefore need to be concerned with driving targeted traffic - but you need to test and track and determine which campaigns are converting well and those that are not. Understanding the metrics of your affiliate marketing campaign is one of the fundamental business aspects.

For example you need to know specifically that for every x amount of interested visitors you send to a website - that y, a percentage of those will purchase and make the sale. When you know the metrics of each campaign - you can readily determine which campaigns you want to expend more resources and which campaigns you need to alter or discontinue - because they are not producing sales.

"Don't put all of your eggs in the same basket"

There is an old saying, "Don't put all of your eggs in the same basket." This sage advice is especially true when it comes to affiliate marketing. You will want to promote multiple affiliate programs AND you will want to promote each of these, using multiple marketing channels. Don't ever rely on income from just a handful of websites or using only one marketing method. That way, if there is a change in the vendor - or something newer or better comes along, you are not left out to dry.

This website contains over seventy proven promotional tactics that you can utilize to promote any affiliate program. Many of these tactics can be setup with no money and very little time, and will produce results over the long haul. Other tactics such as pay-per-click do take time and money to setup - but if you know and understand the metrics of the affiliate programs you are promoting - the cost is merely an investment with a calculate-able return on investment, ROI.

Anyone can become a super affiliate

Treat it like a business by tracking your marketing investments and the resulting sales. When you know which programs and sales pages convert well for you and give a positive ROI - then increasing your income is as simple as increasing your marketing investment. When you can spend $100 and get back $120 - why wouldn't you want to invest more to increase your income ?
