Getting Started the Right Way in Internet Marketing (part 1)

SEO, PPC, PPA, CPA, SERP, LSI, Google slap, sandbox, the list goes on. 


 Welcome to the world of Internet Marketing. It's
hardly a wonder that people suffer from information overload. If
you find yourself drowning in this labyrinth of paths leading you
in a thousand different directions, you need to realize that
success in Internet Marketing depends not on doing a lot of
things but only doing a few things right. 

 The first thing you have to settle within yourself is whether you
are looking to build a business with Internet Marketing or merely
engage in it as a hobby. A business means that you intend to
make enough money through Internet Marketing to at least replace
your day job income. If it is a hobby then you are looking to
Internet Marketing as a part time activity to supply you with
some extra pocket money. This decision is the basis of
everything else you do because it determines the amount of time
and effort you put into it and also the actual structure of your
business or hobby. 

 If you intend to make Internet Marketing merely a hobby, then you
do not need a website, a product, a list, any JV partners or
affiliates. You can do basic affiliate marketing by selling
other people's products. You need to sign up with an open
affiliate marketing website like Clickbank. An open affiliate
marketing system practiced by Clickbank is where you do not need
your own website and there is no application process to become an
affiliate. Without your own website you would not be able to be
an affiliate with closed affiliate systems like Commission
Junction (they have an application process that requires a
website). 

 In Clickbank, there are thousands of products you can sign up as
an affiliate for. You will be given an affiliate link and all
you do is to get people to click on your link. You can do that
for free by setting up free websites on Web 2.0 platforms like
Squidoo or Hubpages or Blogging platforms like Wordpress or
Blogger. You can do a search on these and you will get their
websites where you can create your own website or blog. Yes, a
website set up this way is your own but you are limited in some
functionality because these are free websites hosted on the
platform's servers. Nevertheless, they are good enough to drive
traffic to your affiliate link. 

 All you do is design your website or blog with some good content
related to the affiliate offer you are marketing and insert your
affiliate link into your content. Some web 2.0 platforms like
Hubpages have strict rules about the number of affiliate links
you can have in your content, so just make sure you abide by
their rules. 

 Internet Marketing is a numbers game, so the more of such
websites and blogs you create to drive traffic to your affiliate
link, the better it is. Sooner or later, some people will click
on your links and if they buy the product that you recommend, you
get your commission from it. That's all there is to making some
spare cash through Internet Marketing. 

 You may want to start your Internet marketing journey this way. 
But after sometime, if you want to progress further and do
Internet Marketing as a business, then it becomes another ball
game altogether!

Top Ten Article Writing Tips

Whether you are writing articles for submission to offline or
online newsletters or magazines, for your blog, lens, hub page or
for submission to article directories, you want your articles to
be high quality so people continue reading right to the end and
do not stop after the opening sentence. Here are some tips to
achieve that result. 

1. Know what you want to write about and the demographics of your
likely audience before you start so that you use appropriates
language. 

2. Use a title that clearly states to purpose and content of the
article and entices the reader to want to learn more. For a
marketing article, use your main keyword in the title. 

If you cannot think of a title, you can always fall back on some
of these tried and tested formats: 

Effective Tips for... 
How to... 
Secrets of... 
The best 10... or the top ten or top five or seven etc. 
Must Know.... 
Things to avoid when... 
Basic Steps to... 
Better ways to... 
Affordable ways to... 
Easy steps to... 

2. Have a short introductory paragraph that outlines the content
of your article. If your article is for marketing purposes, use a
primary keyword in the introduction and summarize the benefits
and not the features of whatever you are writing about in your
article. By mentioning benefits at the beginning, you are
answering the unspoken question "what's in it for me" 

3. Divide the body of your article into sections. A good way to
start is to jot down a list of ideas, sort the list into a
logical order, then enlarge on each idea. Sometimes it is helpful
to do the body of the article before the title, that way you know
exactly what your article is about and how many sections you
have; this can help you select your title. 

4. Keep white space between different points so the article is
easy to read. Bulleted or numbered lists can be very effective,
especially for readers scanning your work quickly. 

5. Use simple words so that those with a limited vocabulary or
knowledge of the language is able to understand what you are
saying. Keep your sentences short and to the point. 

6. Make sure your spelling and grammar are correct. Use the spell
checker on your word processor or a dictionary if you are unsure.
Ask someone else to read your work and give feedback. Sometimes
it is hard to see errors and inconsistencies in your own work. 

7. Write to your audience. For example, if you are writing for a
senior audience & reviewing children's toy that a grandparent
might buy, you could stress how much a child would love them, but
if writing for a young adult audience you might stress the
educational or safety benefits. 

8. If the medium supports it, use relevant images to add
interest. 
Although this is not appropriate for articles intended for
article directories, images are very effective in blog posts, 
lenses, hub pages, newsletters and magazines. 

9. Write using a conversational tone. If you are unsure if your
work is doing this, imagine that you are talking to a friend and
explaining the material, then judge if what you have written is
interesting by checking things like this: 

Is it too long-winded? 
Does it sound condescending? 
Is the language used too complicated or overly simple? 
Have you used the same word over and over till it sounds boring? 

10. Beware of making your article purely a sales pitch; nothing
is more annoying or more sure to send your reader off to another
source. 

If you are reviewing or discussing a product or products, make
sure that what you say gives useful information, is accurate, can
be substantiated by real testimonials or other reviews. 

There will always be a need for great articles. 

They might be for your own use, for your blog, copy for your
websites, to promote yourself, your interests, your own products
or affiliate products. 

You could sell private label rights to your articles and earn
money that way or you could upload them to membership sites where
they become available as resources for others. 
Whatever their purpose, following these tips will ensure that the
articles you write are of high quality.

Face It... Affiliate Marketing May Not Be For Everyone!

Tons of people go to the Internet every day looking for ways to make
some extra money online. There is a multitude of Internet income
opportunities available and in almost every case there is a sales
process involved. In other words, you have to sell something to
earn a commission and you have to know how to sell it even as if it
were your own product.

Almost every product and service imaginable and even unimaginable
is being sold online, so there is no reason why the enterprising 
entrepreneur cannot find something to market and sell that truly
interests them. 

Finding a "thing" to sell is not the issue. It's the willingness to
learn and and do what needs to be done that seems to be the biggest
problem for a lot of aspiring marketers. 

Affiliate Marketing is a popular way to make money online.
Basically, as an Affiliate Marketer, you find a company with a
product or service that you like and you do some advertising and
promoting to sell the product or service. You become an
"affiliate" for that company. When you sell something, the
company pays you a sales commission for it. 

Most of the time, the affiliate company provides you with
supporting sales and promotional aids, like banner ads, articles
or other content, landing pages, lead capture pages or product
information pages, and your own unique affiliate link that you
use when linking to the respective information sources or
resources. 

That is the easy part. The hard part is doing the work involved
effectively and finding ways to get all that information in front of 
your targeted prospects. 

Once you do find and apply ways to attract the attention of your
best prospects, you still have to rely on the materials to
convince them to buy, or you have to have a system in place where
you can follow up with prospects to encourage them to take
another look at the item being promoted. 

Some affiliate companies have a follow-up system in place where
they send a series of messages to your prospects on your behalf
and if a sale is generated at any point in the process, you are
credited with it and will receive your sales commission. 

Even so, unless you are already experienced, skilled and
effective as a marketer, it could be a long process before you
begin to see any steady income resulting from your efforts. 

Most newbie marketeers do not understand that there is a period of
learning and trial and error involved before Affiliate Marketing
success is achieved. As easy as it sounds to us sometimes, it just
plainly does not happen overnight for the majority of people. 

In order to become successful as an Affiliate Marketer online,
you will have to learn how to sell online. You must be committed
and hard working with diligence in applying the recommended 
methods of marketing. Even then, you must stick with it until you 
achieve the level of success that you seek. Be prepared to test 
various marketing methods to find out what works best for you. 

Not everyone is cut out for Affiliate Marketing. It is not
something you can enter into lightly if you truly expect to
succeed online. It takes a positive mind for success and a lot
of self determination. You have to constantly be prepared to
stay positive when things don't go right or something falls
apart.

However, for the ones who take it seriously, treat it like a real
business and commit themselves to doing whatever it takes to
make it work, it can be a very rewarding way to earn some extra
income on the Internet. Perhaps even a full-time income.

Make Your Blog Posts Go Viral



The best type of advertising has three characteristics. It is free, impactful and viral.
What kind of advertising fulfills all three characteristics? Word of mouth! It is free
because it is spontaneous, unsolicited and natural. It is impactful because the persons
spreading it were impacted and they spread the news out of their own impacted emotions.
And it is extremely viral because it spreads exponentially. Imagine if your blog posts
could be passed around this way.

What kind of blog post can achieve such a viral nature? A viral blog can be one of
several kinds:

1. A HOW TO blog post

The HOW TO blog post shows the reader how to do something that many people want to know.
If you know how to do something that most people do not, you could post a step-by-step
guide on how to do it to your blog. Once the right people discover your blog post, they
will naturally and spontaneously spread your blog post to others. You could write about
how to speak in public, how to write HTML, how to play the piano by ear, how to take great
photos etc. There are literally thousands of 'how to' things you could post about.

2. A UNIQUE TWIST blog post

This type of blog post is closely related to the first HOW TO type. This is where you
blog about something that is common knowledge but you put your own unique twist to it,
something that most people have never thought of. It may well be totally contrary to
conventional practice. One example is article marketing. The conventional practice in
article marketing is where you write articles and submit them to article directories. But
if you have a better and more effective way of article marketing, post about it in your
blog. For example, instead of submitting articles to directories, you could offer your
articles to blog owners or newsletter owners in your niche. Tell them they can make your
article available to their readers for free as long as no changes are made to any of the
content. This way you get much more targeted readers reading your article and more
powerful link juice back to your blog because it comes from another blog that is related
to your own instead of from a general article directory.

3. A HOT REVIEW blog post

This type of post follows the principle of the early bird catching the worm. This is
where you blog about the latest hot topic in your niche and give an honest appraisal of
what is good and what is bad about whatever is happening. Since the topic is new,
virtually no one has much knowledge, much less a view about it. This works tremendously
well for political blogs. But the review can also be about the hottest gadget or the
latest book or the newest trend in your niche. One great place where you can find out the
latest happenings is Google Trends. If you are the first to blog about whatever is
happening, you can capture the initial interest of the public and people will start
passing your blog post around like wildfire. When that wave dies down, simply find the
next sizzling development and review it and the process repeats itself.

These are just three ways you can make your blog viral. Obviously, you will not succeedevery time, but if you keep at it, you will hit the jackpot sooner or later. And as a
result, the readership of your blog experiences an exponential spurt of growth.

Blogging: A Powerful Home Business Tool 

If You Have A Business... You Should Consider Starting A Blog. 

 A blog is a web page that is made up of different posts that is (or should be) updated regularly. A web log is a very powerful tool your home business should take advantage of. You can use this in a lot of different ways to benefit your internet business.

Here are some of the things you can benefit from when you start blogging. 

 1. You can publish your business on the web very easily. With blogging, you can put in your thoughts, your views, and various links to the web page with a few clicks of your mouse. It's not much different than sending an email if you think about it. You just type in your subject, your content and click the button to finish it. Blogging is made simple by different programs and software developed by the  blog site provider in the Internet.

 2. You can get a cheaper website with blogging. Instead of maintaining a website of your own, blog sites are good alternatives. We all know that a website might take a lot of programming and a lot of maintenance to start and keep updated. But with blogging, most of the hassle goes away. Blogging can also be as inexpensive as free! 

 3. A lot less technical knowledge is needed. As stated earlier, the software is already there, ready to be used by bloggers, to be on their sites regularly. There isn't a need to hire a web professional every time you want to change or update something on your site. It's also a matter of just typing and clicking on the post button if used in the simplest form.

 4. Blogging can give your online business a huge edge over competitors. Customers and visitors of your blog site can easily join in and post their own comments and suggestions to your site and your products. And if you post answer to their posts quickly, it will show them that you care and are willing to reach out and help your prospective customers and clients. Customers always prefer personalized attention.

 5. Blogging will give you the marketing promotion you need at a low cost. Blogging is very popular in today's world. With its rise in popularity, many people are using it even for their own for personal reasons. And since people already know how it works, you can add in a different dimension to your product. You can setup contests, offer discounts, post banner or text ads, or even have others pay you to post their content. There are a lot of possibilities and they are virtually endless.

 6. Blogging can be used to share photos, news, upcoming events, and everything else about your product. Blogging almost has no boundaries. Anything can be uploaded there in to help boost your home business. Think outside of the box and be creative. There are no limits.

 Blogging has actually been around since the late 1990’s. Since then, it has been widely used by businesses as well individuals. Even big corporations have blog sites of their own. This has been the reason why it is one of the most important tool a business should have. You should use it consistently if you want to benefit your business.

Top TEN Proven Ways On How to Drive Quality Targeted Traffic To Your Affiliate Website

10 Ways To Get Traffic

You gotta get traffic to Your Online Affiliate Marketing Website if you're planning on making some good money.


When you're into affiliate marketing, one of the most major issues you'll deal with is how you're going to drive traffic to your site.  You probably know also that you don't just want any traffic – you want and need targeted traffic.  Here are the top 10 most used and also proven ways you can drive high quality targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing site and increase your money making potential: (Also Some FREE Ways)

1. E-mail Marketing

Email marketing, when done properly can drive targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing site.  This can be done by providing appropriate, valuable information in your email message and of course inserting your affiliate link that will get the people to look at your site.

By the way, if you're not building an email list here is a free way to do so 


You'll Get Your Very Own Free Opt-In Page


With Email Marketing, you can do it a couple of ways: You can provide all of the content in the e-mail message and then having your a link available to invite the person to view more similar write-ups on your site.  Or you can give just a portion of the content that will attract the person to want to see the rest of what you have on the affiliate site. 



⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

  • Some people put the affiliate site directly such as:
Check this out!
[where you can see the site with the referral id]


  • Others post the link under text like: 
To See How To Get Your Free Traffic: 
CLICK HERE 


  • And others us their domain name with special plugins that cloak their link like this:
Go To Our Site For Instant Free Access:
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

NOTE: This is the special plugin that I use to cloak my sites right inside wordpress. I use it because it's really simple. You just put your affiliate link
in and the world you want at the end... in the case above I picked "freetraffic" 

It has some other functions, but I just use it mainly to cloak my links because
it keeps them ALL in one place, and makes the super easy to organize and remember. I highly recommend this plugin to all of my members. At the end of this blog, I will post my other favorite tools to use so you can take a look at them later if you like. So go ahead and bookmark this page.

Here is the special plugin I believe every affiliate should have

__________________________________________________________


2. Write Articles

Informative, interesting or how-to articles, especially if they are written well to understand, have been proven to drive traffic to affiliate marketing sites.  Include links to similar or additional information within the content body that can only be read from your site and provide additional links throughout your article. There are special sites you can sign up for to write articles. Personally I choose to write blogs for the most part and I think they are a great way to start your own articles. I really have always like Blogger and most recently Wordpress.
I would definitely recommend IBO to everyone as a great place to write. It's a marketing toolbox and has a lot of free everything! I'm a little depressed to say I have not used it like I should. But I do have some friends that use it and they are really prospering from it... AND learning a lot! CLICK HERE

   Most everything below should be self-explanatory. Some of it, I don't get involved with. Not because it isn't good, but just because of my lack of time.
   I do give-aways though. In fact here is one you can have right now. It's pretty cool if you have wordpress. 
   It's a site Jacker. Don't worry it's nothing illegal. But it's definitely worth using if you use wordpress. 

Here it is and it's called JACK JACKER
FREE FREE FREE

If there are any method below that you don't understand. You can simply look on google. There are so many opportunities that you will not have a hard time finding information. Just research well. If you do have any questions... contact me.

3. Newsletters and E-zines

People love information, particularly those about subjects they are curious about or are involved in – which explains why targeted methods to drive traffic to affiliate marketing sites work best.

Offer e-newsletter and e-zine subscriptions, making sure that links bring recipients to your site.  Use a separate landing page to handle the subscription process for your visitors' convenience.

4. Blogs

Other than your affiliate marketing site, use a blog to get in touch with prospective customers and members.  Blogs are considerably more personal and lighter in tone than most affiliate business sites and they can be a great source of information, news, advice and tips from you to your prospects.  Include a link from your blog to your affiliate marketing site.

5. Social Bookmarking Sites

These sites are a rich source of targeted traffic that you can drive to your affiliate marketing site.  Your market demographics are also easier to define so sending out invitations to potential leads and members is a lot easier.

6. Discussion Forums and Boards

By leaving useful and thought-provoking comments on discussion boards and forums, you encourage other members to react and send you a reply.  You'll be able to build a networking relationship from here.  Make sure to sign with a link back to your affiliate marketing site.

7. Guest Blogging

You could drive another blog's captured traffic to your affiliate site by becoming a guest blogger.  If you can write well and can offer unique and useful content, the site's readership will find you interesting enough to follow you to your own site.

8. Allow Bookmarking On Your Web Pages

If you have content, you can drive traffic to your affiliate marketing site by allowing your readers to bookmark certain pages.  This will help promote those pages and your website to other people who might be interested in the same subjects.

9. Hosting Contests

Locate your target market and then promote a contest through ads or e-mails.  All details must be found on your affiliate marketing website so you can drive traffic there.  Registration must also be performed on one of your landing pages.  Just make sure to offer prizes that visitors who will be coming in will find useful.

10. Give Away Freebies!

There's nothing like a nice gift to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing site.  It's easy to implement and can be relatively cheap.  Furthermore, you offer these visitors an incentive to sign up for whatever campaign it is you're promoting.
