Make money with Affiliate Marketing

May 4, 2007 by Administrator

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a method of promoting, when affiliate earns a commission each time he makes a new subscriber, lead, or sale with his own efforts.

What things can I promote?

Virtually anything: from offline products that can be shipped worldwide, to online software, books, services like hosting or domain names.

What do i need to start promoting products or services?

1. A product or service to sell and a target audience to sell to

These two things are very, very important. Your product or service should always solve a problem or fulfill peoples needs. So you need to know your target audience and know what they needs are to be able to find a product which they will buy.

2. A channel to reach them

You will need a website, with your own domain name. This will be your way to contact and communicate with your potential customers. On your website there needs to be valuable information for your target audience and solution to their problem – your product or service. I use also email and other things to communicate with my customers for better results.

3. An affiliate network to handle shipping, payments and stuff like this.

They will provide you with affiliate links, banners, promotions. They communicate with advertisers and make sure you get paid every month. Joining is free. Once you are approved you can immediately get your affiliate links and start earning.

How much can I earn?

Affiliates are usually paid up to 50% of the buyers price. If you sell expensive things like loans, jewelery you could make few thousand bucks on each sale. But this are rather extremes.

Most people I know started small, but are growing steadily as their traffic increases.

Ok I wanna join right now!

Here are my top affiliate networks that i recommend you to use:

  1. Commission Junction – my favorite, sending me checks every month ๐Ÿ™‚
  2. LinkShare – some of the big companies are advertising there
  3. ClickBank – the best for digital products, ebooks, services,..

How to use forums to promote website?

May 3, 2007 by Administrator

New webmasters often misuse this technique of website promotion. They want to make a quick sale, but people can see trough this. Promoting your website the wrong way does far more damage than not doing it at all. Read how to do it the right way and you will see results.

Benefits of promoting your website on online forums

Establishing credibility

The most important benefit is establishing credibility. Posting on forums gives your potential customers an opportunity to know you better. With doing good you will establish trust which will make your potential buyers relaxed about what you write. They will believe what you say and lower their spam shields. Think about it: from whom are you buying on internet? Sites you trust or sites you have never heard about?

Learn about your audience

Second benefit is by reading and posting on forums you can learn about your target audience. You will get first hand information on peoples needs and thoughts. This is an extreme value for every company! And its free.

Networking

You will also meet other webmasters on forums and broaden your network that way. Remember: people who know you are more likely to link to your website than others.

How to promote your website on forum

  1. Find a forum that relates to your website. Check out Strongest Links Forum list for a start.
  2. Join it and set your user profile. Create a signature with your Name, website URL and a short sentence about your site.
  3. Contribute. Answer peoples posts, give them advice, solve their problems. Make sure you are posting only about things you know a lot about.

We have developed two models to show you how to do it. Of course follow the first one:)

Model1: Promoting your website on forums the right way

User asks a question readon you reply with a valuable post readon people begin to trust you readon people identify you as an authority readon people seek more about you and your website tick.png

Model2: Wrong way

User asks a question readon you reply trying to make a sale readon people notice you want to make a quick buck readon you loose credibility readon people ignore your posts and your website stop.png

Conclusion:

Promoting your website on a forum can only be done if you really care about your target market! People will notice the sparkle in your posts and will award you with their trust.

Their trust means targeted visitors who believe you. They will lower their spam shields when you try to sell them your product or service.

05 Submitting your Website

March 5, 2007 by Administrator

Submit to Search Engines

When your site is ready to be crawled by search engines, you can add it through links below. Don`t use autosubmitters for your sites. Submit manually to the major ones.

  1. Google: Add your URL to Google; Remember: you can remove your site or parts of it from Google later.
  2. Yahoo: Suggest your site to Yahoo; Note: you have to register to suggest your site.
  3. MSN Live Search: Submit your site to Live Search; Note: MSN will index your site the fastest of these three.

Submit to Directories

  1. DMOZ -Open Directory Project: Submit a site; Important: This is a one time opportunity – if you do not submit correctly you have wasted your chance to be listed. So READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Either you believe me, or be sorry for a long time. And I am not joking – getting in DMOZ could give your site a launch you could work for months otherwise. So once again – Read the instructions and than submit your site.
  2. Yahoo Directory: Submit your site; Note: you have to register to submit.
  3. Find other Directories related to your site:

IMPORTANT: Submit only to directories related to your site, but they should be in business for at least 2 years, have a Page Rank at least 4 and should not be spammy lists, otherwise you would do more bad than good to your site.

A comprehensive list of directories can be found here:

  • Strongest Links Directory List; Directories are listed by Page Rank, Alexa Position and price.
  • Top Web Directories by SeoCompany; They composed a List Rated by ILQ (Inbound Link Quality) and show count of the inbound links from Yahoo, Dmoz, government and educational sites.

Submit to Article Networks

Article networks can bring you lots of tagetted visitors if you do it right.

  1. EzineArticles; One of the best article sites I know and use. Great site!
  2. Go Articles; Also a good one.
  3. Self Growth; I found it an excellent resource.
