Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Learn Top Affiliate Secrets

If you want to get started quickly and easily making money online, then affiliate marketing is for you. Affiliate marketing means that all you do is send traffic to someone else’s website, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as your commission, which for digital products can be 50% of more.

Here’s just a few benefits

  1. You’re able to start instantly without having to create a product, set up a website and sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or do support, billing and maintenance.
  2. It runs on auto-pilot for you because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
  3. Your efforts are risk-free, because the product owner has already made sure the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

There’s no denying that these benefits make affiliate marketing the best thing going!

The downside is…

Once you send your visitors to the product sales page, they are gone forever. Less than 10% of the visitors your send will actually buy the product. That’s fine for the product owner because she can sell to them again and again, but you can’t.

What’s the solution?

It’s simple: You must get your visitors’ email addresses before you send them to the product owner’s website. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you want to do it like a pro, you’ll give them some great content before sending them to the sales page.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

  1. By building your own list, you’re creating a renewable resource that you can tap again and again for instant profits.
  2. You’ll be warming them up by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools:

  1. A squeeze page, and even better a video squeeze page.
  2. One or more content-rich “warm up” pages
  3. A multi-part e-mail series with at least 5 e-mails in it

Instead of sending visitors directly to the product sales page, you’ll send them to your lead capture page first. This page is where you collect your visitors’ contact info and add them to your autoresponder, which in turn starts sending them the multi-part e-mail series. Once your visitors have been subscribed to your email series, they are sent to your content pages.

The content pages provide valuable information for your visitors and make them more receptive to the sales message that you’ll link to from inside the content. While they’re reading the content you’ve provided, your email system is already following up with them to send them back to the product website again and again.

There’s no doubt that it’s worth the effort to put a system like this in place, because doing so will increase your profits by 500% or more. And after you get it all set up, it runs on total auto-pilot. You just refer people to your lead capture page, instead of the product sales page.

Setting it all up yourself requires some skill, and if you’re not up to it, you can use a service like Affiliate Silver Bullet. With a service like that, you don’t have to do anything. They make the video, build the squeeze page, write the e-mail series, develop the content mini-site, etc. And then just give you a finished package. The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The drawback is that you won’t be the only one using these affiliate tools. But the Internet is huge, so this shouldn’t really affect you.

Alternatively, you can use a service like Elance to “outsource” each of these components. Whichever way you decided to go, it’s critical to get an affiliate marketing system like this in place, if you’re at all serious about your business.

Make Your Website Dynamic by Clate Mask

Posted September 30th, 2010. Filed under Website Development

Did you know the average adult spends up to 3 hours a day more on the Internet than they spend watching television? About 70% of the U.S. population regularly use the Internet. Over 1 billion people in the world are online. And, this is a vast chunk of your market! These are your customers! But only if you have a website that draws them in.

I’d be willing to bet you already have a website up and running. And, that’s great! But, have you taken that website to the next level? Far too many companies throw a couple webpages together, put them online, and call it good. However, sites that only include basic information are not much better than having brochures.

Here are some ideas for making your website powerful:

* Include pictures and descriptions of your products (with a dynamic website, your visitors should be able to click through your products to find what they are interested in)

* Display interesting facts and statistics

* Include high interest stories (celebrity or newsworthy stories will quickly draw readers to your site)

* Include customer testimonials

* Produce blogs, forums, or user communities

Most viewers will give you about 7 seconds to decide if your site is worth visiting. If you have interesting content and graphics, they’ll give you a little more time. However, if you haven’t used your space on the Internet to capture and retain their attention, the next thing you know, the person is gone.

Your website should attract viewers, and ultimately provide you with additional leads.

Sales Strategy: The Takeaway Close by Bob Bly

Posted September 28th, 2010. Filed under Business

A few years ago I came across a brochure for an independent consultant, Sommers White.

The brochure promoting White’s consulting services was written entirely in question and answer format. But what really caught my eye was the first Q & A in the lead:

Q: Why should I hire Sommers White?

A: Perhaps you should not.

Why is this opening so effective?

First, it is unexpected. The surprise factor gets your attention.

Second, it instantly builds White’s credibility. Obviously, here is a guy who only wants clients he can help. He won’t just take any business. He has to believe he can really help you before he will work with you. What an ethical guy!

Third, it actually enhances the desire to find out more about White and possibly hire him. It’s intriguing. Who is this man of mystery? Why is he so sure of himself that he doesn’t even want your business?

This technique of selling is called “the takeaway close”. White did not invent it, although his use of it as a lead is unusual.

The basic premise of the takeaway close is: People want what they can’t have.

Think about it. Your doctor tells you, “No more candy.” What do you instantly want? Candy!

Sales trainer Paul Karasik recommends you use the takeaway method when trying to close a sale with a reluctant prospect.

If the prospect is hemming and hawing, shut your notebook or folder, take the contract off the table, and say, “You know, you’re right. This may not be for you.”

The prospect will immediately want to know why you say this, and often, will try to prove you wrong. In essence, they’ll start selling YOU on changing your mind and accepting them as a customer. What an ideal situation for you!

Another thing that makes the takeaway close so effective is what I call the power of the contrary: When you do something people don’t expect, it is an instant attention-getter.

A radio commercial for Seaman’s, a furniture store in my area, begins: “Whatever you do, DON’T buy furniture today!”

You don’t expect a furniture store to tell you not to buy furniture. So you listen. It sounds like you are going to get helpful consumer advice—maybe tips on shopping for furniture.

Turns out, the tip is to wait to Saturday for Seaman’s big blowout sale. But it works. They got your attention—and now you want to wait for their sale.

The next time you are having trouble closing a prospect or moving a sale forward, try the takeaway close.

One caveat: You have to be willing to lose the sale to make this work. You must be prepared for and ready to accept the possibility that the prospect will say, “Yes, you’re right, this is not for me.”

Therefore, the takeaway close should only be used either (a) when you already have more business than you can handle—and therefore can afford to lose the sale, or (b) when the sale is stalled and you cannot move the prospect forward using your other closing techniques.

Article Marketing Profits

Dozens of marketers like yourself have probably known about using articles to drive traffic to your web pages.

The problem is, most of the advice that blogs or other people gave you about article marketing is not fully elaborate or detailed.

That is why many marketers don’t know the correct and effective way of leveraging on articles as a deadly marketing and search engine tool.

But right now, there is a detailed and proven guide to help you produce such articles like clockwork!

Article Marketing Profits is the most straight-to-the-point, simple yet effective guide that will reveal to you how to create powerful articles that transform into your viral salesmen 24/7, 365 days a year!

This guide will show you things such as: One negative trait to overcome if you want to create solid articles, having Google’s keyword tool churn out profitable and targeted keywords, simple, straightforward ways to create a winning title for your article, and much, much more!

However, the low introductory price is slated to increase soon…so I’d suggest you make your move quickly.

Membership CubeDo you think you know what a membership site really is?

Here’s all a membership site is: a place where people can log in using a username and password to get to their stuff.

Membership sites DON’T have to be this thing where people pay you month after month to get access!

Research has shown that the most a paying subscriber can afford to stay in a membership site is 3, 4 months, after which they cancel their subscription.

The classic problem lies with membership program creators not being able to keep up with creating worthy content that makes their subscribers stay willingly with them every month; time is working against them.

Membership Cube is going to change all that.

Imagine this scenario: If you have a one-hour video, just ask $47 for it. People pay 47 bucks one time, then get their login and can watch your video.

If they refund, they’re kicked out. Simple as that. No further payments after that first one.

Then let’s say you make a second follow-up video. Put it in the membership site so it shows up after 14 days.

Now, everyone who pays 47 bucks get that first video, then after 2 weeks they get the next video.

You CAN have sequential content delivery and only have a single payment.

Now let’s say you create a third video, and you schedule it for the 30-day mark. Now you have an instant video, a 14-day video, and a 30-day video, but at this point, you’re ready to raise the price.

Instead of simply doubling the price to $97, make it a 2-payment plan. Now they pay $47 and get a video instantly, they stay in and get the second video after 2 weeks, they get billed again and receive the third video.

The people you sold to early on get all these stuff for free…but the new buyers have to pay both payments, and if they cancel at any time, they’re locked out.

If they let it ride till the end, they get lifetime access to all three of your videos.

Isn’t that a better way of looking at drip content? Instead of struggling forever to create months and months of content, worry about creating the first month…then the second month…and so on.

Then change the payment button so you add more payments or a higher price for new buyers. That way you can stop at any time.

I want to show you the exact step-by-step plan to accomplishing EVERYTHING we just talked about in the last couple minutes, right here.

How to reach prospects via their cell phones.

Mobile Marketing Exposed

Has it occurred to you that in addition to marketing your business via the web you should also be reaching out to your customers via the mobile networks?

I mean just think about where your next customer might be right at this moment.

It’s unlikely that they’re going to be sat in front of their PC waiting to read your next e-mail…

…But it’s highly likely they’ll have their cell phone with them.

And by ignoring this exciting new marketing channel you’re not taking full advantage of the power to reach people whenever you need to.

Now you can “reach out and touch everybody” with the power of mobile marketing, newly demystified, by the pro-underground marketers and marketing researchers, Simon Hodgkinson and Jeremy Gislason.

Whether you’re a big business or a marketing army of one, you can learn from their brand new video series “Mobile Marketing Exposed“.

They explain:

- How to create mobile friendly website that displays on a wide variety of popular devices and networks (and get you noticed more places for MORE PROFITS!)

ClickBank CPA?

Posted September 24th, 2010. Filed under Affiliate Marketing

If you are looking for the first $100 in sales, this is a sure bet!

I love referral programs because YOU get paid and your “customer” DOES NOT have to take a credit card out of pocket.

CB Leads turns ClickBank products into CPA (cost-per-action) offers.

The program is brand new so the marketplace choices are still growing but I’d get started now before EVERYONE knows about it.

With CB Leads you get paid $1 – $3 for every LEAD you generate.

In other words, you DON’T have to sell the product to get paid…just get a simple opt-in.

That’s easy to do!

Here’s 5 ways to do it:

1. Search and @reply to people asking about the niche on Twitter.
2. Schedule updates on Twitter with hashtags related to the niche.
3. Syndicate those updates to Facebook and other social networks.
4. Use “realtime SEO” to get those updates ranked instantly for the niche.
5. Use RCQ tactics to get people to promote your updates for you.

If you happen to have an e-mail list, this is a no-brainer. Just find opt-in only offers on the CB Leads Marketplace relevant to your list and make $1 – $3 for EVERY opt-in.

Enjoy making that first $100!

We all know that a strong money-back guarantee is a powerful weapon for overcoming buyer resistance and boosting your sales.

But you can run into problems when your guarantee has flaws.

The best guarantees are:

* Fair.
* Generous.
* Long-term.
* Unconditional.

When any of these four elements is missing, sales are likely to suffer as a result.

For example, many of my clients are newsletter and magazine publishers.

A number of these publishers offer lifetime guarantees. They permit the subscriber to cancel at any time and receive a prorated refund on “unmailed issues”.

But if you offer both a bill-me option as well as payment with order—as I often come across—such a lifetime guarantee actually gives the customer an incentive NOT to pay up front.

Think about it.

Say the customer checks the “bill-me” option for a monthly magazine, gets his first issue, and then writes “cancel” on his invoice.

The publisher doesn’t send him a bill for one issue, nor does the publisher ask for the magazine back. So the customer gets a free issue.

But if the customer pays in advance, then cancels after the first issue, he gets a refund for 11/12th of the subscription price (the 11 unmailed issues) and therefore ends up paying for the issue received.

Why should the bill-me customer get a free issue, but not the payment-with-order customer? It isn’t fair and doesn’t make sense, considering a cash-with-order customer is more desirable than a bill-me order.

Solution: Offer a full money-back guarantee within the first 30 days, then a prorated refund thereafter.

Another frequent guarantee problem is wording that says you will get your money back “if you return the product in saleable condition”.

Well, the customer doesn’t have any control over the UPS man who brings the box to your door.

Your guarantee implies that if the product is damaged in transit on its way from the customer to you, the buyer doesn’t get a refund. That would make me hesitate to order from you.

I was in a video game store where a clerk refused to refund a woman’s money because she was returning a game her son had gotten as a gift one day after the 30-day guarantee period expired.

I interfered, and explained to the clerk what he was doing wrong. The woman got her money back, and I got a dirty look from the clerk.

Remember, you benefit enormously from offering a guarantee, because it gets more people to trust you and buy from you.

But the customer benefits too: He gets a chance to try the product risk-free.

Most people won’t take unfair advantage of your guarantee. If you sell a quality product, accurately described in your marketing, at a price that’s fair in relationship to its value, your return rate will be low—probably less than 5%.

That still means as many as one of 20 or so will ask for a refund. Give them back their money promptly and with good cheer. Few things will cause more customer dissatisfaction and ruin your reputation faster than being difficult, adversarial, and uncooperative when people believe what you said in your guarantee and take you up on it.

Don’t get angry with these folks. Returning the product is their right—and part of your cost of doing business.

Metrics And Goals: Your Roadmap To Success by Clate Mask

Posted September 22nd, 2010. Filed under Business

“Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.” – Elbert Hubbard (writer and artist)

Sometimes as a business owner, you become so overwhelmed, the only thing you can do is take it one step at a time. And although this may get you through the week, it’s not going to help grow your business. Real growth comes from writing out the goals you plan to achieve—and then putting those goals into action.

Here are some “rules” to follow when creating metrics and other goals:

Specific – Know exactly what your goal is.
Measurable – Know whether you achieved the goal.
Achievable – Speaks for itself.
Relevant – Relates to the big picture.
Time Bound – When will you reach the goal?

Did you know only 3% of the population has written goals? And, they earn ten times more than the rest.

If you truly want to see improvement and growth in your company, take the time to create SMART goals. Then, be sure to make yourself and your employees accountable for those goals. Otherwise, you will always be taking it a day at a time.

11 Steps To Publishing Success

Posted September 20th, 2010. Filed under Content Publishing

Even if your best friend owns a top publishing company, giving you an immediate “in”, this does not guarantee publishing success.

First, you have to write a quality book that has a clear target audience. And your book must answer a common problem or need that audience shares. Then you have to develop a marketing plan, and stick to it for at least two years.

Let’s begin with the process that should commence before you write your first word. Begin by reading A LOT. Read both books you passionately love and books you can’t seem to make it past page five. Then figure out what the author did in the book you loved, and what was wrong with in the book you couldn’t finish. Write down these points so they are crystal clear to you. Read other people’s books for inspiration and to discover what you should avoid as a writer.

The next step is to plan out your book. Narrow down your subject, and then divide it into chapters. Each chapter should address a specific aspect of the problem your book is going to solve. In each chapter, break the specific aspect down into several parts. This will help your readers take in your information a bit at a time instead of overwhelming them with every bit of information clogging up the pages until they feel like they’re about to go blind. It’s not quite spoon-feeding the information to your readers, but it’s close.

The next two steps are obvious. Write your book and then revise it. And then revise it again. And perhaps again. Of course, writing is extremely hard, and writing a book can seem like an impossible task. There are many books out there that give you guidelines to help you become familiar – and even love – the process of writing and revision. Find a number of books about writing. Better yet, find a number of books about writing the specific type of book you aspire to write. These can serve as roadmaps on your writing journey.

Once you’ve written your e-book and revised it at least twice, show it to someone else whose opinion you respect. If you’re lucky enough to know a good editor, see if you have something to barter for him or her to go through your manuscript. Or join a writing group and let the other members critique your work.

Then take all these ideas from other people, and revise your manuscript one last time. And then stop! Put down that pen! Get your hands off the keyboard!

One of the most important steps to actually producing a book is to know when to stop writing and tinkering with it.

You’ve finally written your e-book! Pop open the bubbly! Give yourself a night out on the town!

Okay, now that this necessary celebration is out of your system, what do you do next?

Now the secrets to turning your e-book into profits…

E-books are a revolutionary way to publish your book without incurring the costs of print production. All you need is a relevant and targeted subject and some inexpensive software, and you can transform your manuscript into a book.

The problem, in terms of actually seeing any profits from your ebook, is that the market is overwhelmed with e-books, and many of them are not worth the time it takes to download them. Just because the ability exists to easily produce an e-book, doesn’t make it good writing.

Make sure your book does not simply rehash old material. You will injure your credibility as an author by claiming to offer valuable new insights and disappointing your audience with material they’ve read a zillion times before. So spend enough time writing and revising your book to make sure it’s of the highest quality and presents the most current information. A good book will eventually sell itself; false claims about your book will make it extremely difficult to sell any future books you may write.

Assuming you have determined that you do indeed have a quality product that answers some question or need of your target audience with NEW information, how do you know how much to charge for it? Rule number 1: Set a price for your book equal to its value. An under-priced book will only give the impression that your book isn’t worth very much.

To figure out a fair price, estimate how much time you put into creating it and how difficult it was to transform the necessary information into understandable and engaging writing. Figure out how much your time and effort is worth, and then price it accordingly. The goal is for you to be adequately compensated for your talent, your time, and your effort.

Once you’ve figured out a price that is high enough to convey the value of the book, but not so high as to be out of the reach of your target audience’s mean budget, then it’s time to offer it for sale on your website. To attract sales, you will need to develop a promotional campaign, particularly if you are an unknown author.

There are multitudes of books about self-promotion that will guide you in your efforts. Choose a plan that is both creative and professional. Learn how to write a catchy yet informative press release, and send copies of your e-book to sites that specialize in e-book reviews.

Learn how to write powerful sales copy, or hire someone to write it for you. This is an essential. You absolutely need excellent sales copy to sell your book. Make sure the copy includes all the reasons your target audience needs your book, and the benefits they will derive from buying it.

Use graphics in your promotional materials. Beautiful graphics have the power to instantly convey the quality and value of your e-book. Graphics can also convey the amount of valuable information the book contains, and your careful attention to detail. Professional graphics sell professional books. They reassure the customer that the product is what it claims to be.

Consider excerpting chapters for articles. You can offer these tidbits for free on your website as a sort of demo of your book. Include an order form for your e-book at the end of the excerpted articles.

Finally, when you set-up your download link, make sure to simplify the process. It’s a good idea to offer a few bonuses that make your book even more enticing to purchase, but make sure the bonuses are valuable and high quality. Too many bonuses that are basically a load of useless stuff will compromise the impression your audience has of your e-book. The goal is to convey to your audience that they are getting a quality product for a good deal. That means applying restraint, especially when it comes to adding bonus items. Too much free stuff offered diminishes your credibility.

Make sure your book is a quality product. Make sure it is relevant and current. Develop an effective marketing plan that includes excellent sales copy and excerpted articles. Then offer your book for sale, and wait for your audience to discover you!

To recap the 11 steps to publishing success:

1) Start researching in your subject. Read a lot.
2) Plan a content structure for your e-book.
3) Don’t rehash old material.
4) Start writing and sustain your pace. Do not edit and write and the same time. Let the ideas and words flow from your mind first. You get to express more content in less time.
5) Know when to stop writing and start editing.
6) Price your e-book.
7) Design an e-cover for your book.
8) Get external reviews or find creative ways to get testimonies, e.g. barter trade.
