3 Tools You Need For Affiliate Marketing

The other day I was watching a home improvement show on cable. The remodeler was installing a new deck, with
an awesome built-in grill. I could practically taste the burgers and barbeque already.

But then he said something like, "Backyard parties and dinners from the grill won't happen unless you begin
building your deck with the right tools."

The right tools... that's what my grandfather always said when I was growing up.

It didn't matter if I was making a soap box derby car, a napkin holder for a mother's day present, or helping
him install a new roof on our house. If he caught me trying to slide by with a tool that wasn't right for the job
he made me hustle and get the right one.

Usually these tools were very inexpensive, yet when I used them they saved me a ton of time because I could
work so much faster. It's like that in affiliate marketing too.

It doesn't matter if you're following the blueprints given to you in a $2000 course and have all the head
knowledge in the world about affiliate marketing. If you don't use the right tools it will take you
much longer to achieve your goals.

So here are a few tools that will save you time as an affiliate marketer:

* Using WordPress to create your blog. You do have a blog, right? I hope so, because a blog is one of the
best ways to develop a following and build trust, which leads to increased sales. WordPress is the quickest
way to set up a blog and a WordPress blog will show up in the search engines more quickly.

* Google Alerts and Google News. One of the fastest way to find ideas for content for your blog is to go to Google
News and type in search terms for your niche. For example, I just typed "golf drives" into Google News. A story
popped up about Tiger Woods and how he has maintained focus despite extra distractions this year. If I had a
blog in the golf niche this would be good material for a post about how to remain focused. You can also sign up
to have Google Alerts send you an email with stories for certain phrases.

* WordPress plugins. From SEO to getting rid of spam comments, plugins are tools that will ensure that your blog
operates at maximum efficiency.

Most of the above tools are free (some plugins have a small fee). All of them save you valuable time.

For one of the best "set it and forget it" tools for WordPress blogs, check out this plugin that will automatically
insert Clickbank ads onto your blog:

Choosing CPA Offers
http://ping.fm/BLwmh

Choosing CPA Offers

For someone just getting into CPA marketing, the variety of different offer types can be confusing – it might seem overwhelming at first to try and figure out what all the different offers are.

Some common types you will find in nearly any CPA network’s portfolio are free-trial offers, zip-submit offers, and e-mail-submit offers.

Let’s begin with free-trial offers, because they are so popular among both advertisers and the marketers who promote them. The reason is simple: These free trial offers are often completely free to the customer, except for a small fee (as little as $1.95 or so) for shipping and handling. The customer gets a product they are interested for an incredibly low price, and the advertiser gets a valuable lead.

As a marketer, you might be wondering how this benefits you. Even though the offer is free, or nearly free, companies are often more than willing to pay generous commissions (as much as $20-$100 per lead). The reason is that many of these free trial offers are forced continuity programs – by accepting the free trial offer, the customer is agreeing to pay for more of the product when the free trial is up, often through a monthly auto-ship program.

All you need to worry about, however, is delivering the lead – retaining the customer is up to the advertiser. That means that you get a high commission on an offer that is easy to convert, and all you have to do is get the customer to the company’s landing page. Free-trial offers are popular for a reason…

Another very common type of CPA offer is a “zip submit.” All a visitor has to do in order for you to get paid is enter their zip code. You can be sure that the company running the promotion has a way to make money from the customer on the back end, but you as the CPA marketer get paid just for the customer’s zip code. These offers convert extremely well, although they are generally low-paying – you might earn as little as 75 cents to $1 for a zip submit, but if you can drive a lot of traffic to them even small change can add up to big money.

Another similar kind of offer is an “e-mail submit.” You have probably heard many marketers say that “the money is in the list,” but building a list of prequalified buyers can be tough, and so companies are willing to pay a lot for the right e-mail addresses. That's where you come in: All the visitor needs to do is enter their e-mail address and you get paid. Like a zip-submit, the payouts can be a little low, but you can make up for that in volume.

You can learn a lot more about the various types of CPA offers and, most importantly, how to choose the right offer to promote and how to promote it, by checking out the newly-released course on earning a Six Figure Income with CPA marketing. Check it out here:

CPA Marketing Is A Copy And Paste System http://ping.fm/TY1hq
CPA Marketing Is A Copy And Paste System http://ping.fm/GQEAN

Copy And Paste Your Way To Profits ?

CPA marketing and other forms of affiliate marketing can have a tough learning curve, but there is one method of promoting offers that is about as close as you can come to “copy and paste.”

Sound too good to be true? It almost is, but it’s completely legitimate, and experienced marketers have been making fortunes with it for years. What is this mystery technique? Media buys.

The term “media buys” is far from new. For many years, it has been used to describe the process of purchasing advertising in traditional print magazines and newspapers, or on radio and television. Although these are still perfectly viable advertising mediums, the Internet is the new hot commodity in the advertising market, and holds opportunities for marketers without the deep pockets needed to advertise elsewhere.

Essentially, “media buys” involve buying banner advertising space on websites, with the cost depending on the website’s prominence and traffic, the size of the advertising campaign, the times at which the banners are to be displayed, and other criteria. Payment for these ad campaigns is usually calculated on the basis of “CPM” (cost per thousand impressions), meaning that unlike PPC, where you are paying each time your ad is clicked, you are paying a set rate whenever a visitor sees your ad. Depending on the ad rates, you could end up getting very cheap clicks.

Traditionally, advertisers have had to pay advertising agencies to design advertising campaigns for them. However, many companies with affiliate programs are now providing their affiliates with pre-made banner ads in various different standard sizes for free, either directly or through an affiliate network.

As the affiliate, this means that all you have to do do get started promoting affiliate and CPA offers with banners is literally cut and paste a snippet of code. Cut, paste, and you’re done – no need to wrack your brain to come up with ad copy, spend hours in Photoshop or write any code. It has all been done for you.

Of course, just like any other kind of offer promotion, there are tricks of the trade that substantially increase your odds of success, and while you can simply jump in and hope for the best, you are far better off learning from a professional who has tested and tweaked techniques for maximum profits. The Six Figure CPA course at http://ping.fm/tSfXU will show you the ins and outs of media buys and allow you to hit the ground running with confidence.

Due to the recession, the idea of making money online is attracting more people now. http://ping.fm/ZQK2Y
Due to the recession, the idea of making money online is attracting more people now. http://ping.fm/8bQCE

Affiliate Marketing And Market Research

Now that many people’s finances are getting even tighter due to the recession, the idea of making money online is getting even more attractive, and one of the first things many people hear about is something called “affiliate marketing.” While there is a enough information out there to overwhelm most people at first, the basic concept is fairly simple.

Market research is the first step in the process.

First, you must research markets you are interested in. This is your most important starting point, and you can do this by finding out what your potential customers are looking for. This is the essence of “keyword research” – finding the actual words or phrases people type into search engines to find answers to their problems, and you can be sure that if you do not do your research, you will regret it later.

By finding and using keywords that consumers are actively entering into the search engines, you will be able to help your websites and landing pages rank higher, generating a nonstop flood of organic, targeted traffic.

Keyword research doesn't have to be a difficult task, however. Start with the free Google Keyword Tool, which can be found by searching for “Google keyword tool external,” and enter in a keyword or phrase that identifies the product or niche that you are interested in promoting as an affiliate.

Click on “get keyword ideas” to generate a list of keywords and gauge the competitiveness of the the market by taking a look at the number of times people are searching for your main keywords per month.

What you want to do is find a market with existing demand that also has existing competition and products readily available, but not so competitive that ranking highly is next to impossible.

What's important here is that you remember there must be an audience for whatever you choose to market. Since you are an affiliate, your costs for entering a market are not very high, but it’s still a good idea to take the time to do niche research in order to avoid wasting your time.

Social Bookmarking has become a very important part of traffic generation. http://ping.fm/vd1H1

Bookmarking Demon Social Bookmarking Software

Bookmarking Demon is probably the easiest and most effective automated social bookmarking software I have used. Even though the software itself is a few years old, the software creator, Edwin Brian, is constantly updating Bookmarking Demon.

Many times, social bookmarking sites will make changes, which will cause automated software to stop working. Not so with Bookmarking Demon. When a site makes a change, Edwin and his team update the software to keep it's effectiveness.

Here are just a few features of Bookmarking Demon:

1) Automated account creation - Simply enter in your details, select the sites you want to create accounts for and press a button. The only thing you'll need to do is enter any Captcha when prompted and confirm your accounts in your email. Some people may not like having to enter Captcha, which is why Bookmarking Demon tells you exactly what sites require it, and which ones don't. So, if you wanted to, you could completely skip any sites requiring Captcha verification.

Randomized title, tags and descriptions for your sites -- Having all your bookmarks with the same tags and other info doesn't look natural. Bookmarking Demon will randomize this for you. Giving your bookmarks a more human look.

RSS Bookmarks -- No bookmarking site likes self promoters. if all you do is bookmark your own sites, you'll eventually get banned. Bookmarking Demon will take RSS feeds that you supply, then bookmark random urls within those feeds, giving you a variety of bookmarks from a variety of sources.

Automatic posting -- just push a button and Bookmarking Demon will post to all of your selected bookmarking accounts. It really is that easy.

There are many more features that Bookmarking Demon offers. It even has two different interfaces - one for beginners and one for experts, to suit your bookmarking needs.

Please feel free to http://ping.fm/7vUe2 to get more information on this fantastic social bookmarking tool.

JV Partnerships are about partnerships
http://ping.fm/SMzrA
JV Partnerships are about partnerships
http://ping.fm/vk75G

JV Partnerships are about partnerships

Throughout the Internet marketing industry, JV's or Joint Ventures have become extremely popular, and are one of the fastest ways to build a list, increase traffic and increase sales. But there are many marketers who don't understand the concepts behind a joint venture.


It's about your JV partners.


If you are getting ready to launch a new site or product, your best bet for success is to recruit JV's to help you promote it. What you need to realize is that, just like your regular affiliates, you must consider your JV's WIIFM (what's in it for me) factor. Why should your JV partners promote for you? What are you going to do for them? Here are a few examples.


1) Full access to the site or product -- I personally will not JV with anyone unless they allow me full access to their product or top membership at their site. I will not promote for someone as a JV partner unless I can review what I am promoting. Remember this when recruiting JV's. Giving away a few of your products free, or giving away a few paid memberships, can lead to substantial sales as your JV's promote for you.


2) Increased commissions. -- Your JV's should have a commission higher than your regular affiliates. If you are looking for the logic in this, stop and think...

You have a $47 product and you pay your regular affiliates 50% (which gives you $23.50 of the sale.) Now, some of your affiliates may not promote successfully. Many might not even have a list.

Take the same product, but give your JV partners 75% commission ($11.75 for yourself). Most likely, the JV's you recruit will be somewhat established in the industry, will likely have a list in the 4-5 figure range, and will have access to better promotional methods than most of your regular affiliates.

If you recruit a JV partner with a list of 5,000 and just 3% of them make a purchase (that's 150 purchases), your cut of the sales will be $1762.50. And, that's just from one JV partner. Recruit even more and your profit potential grows substantially! Not too bad for letting someone else do the work.


3) Reward your JV Partners -- You can offer cash prizes, a higher JV commission level, free advertising via your site or list, or anything else you can think of. The important thing is to keep your partners happy.

The point here is to treat your JV partners like gold. They are a valuable asset and can be the life blood of your business.

3 Ways to Advertise on the Internet for Free
http://ping.fm/Jgga7
3 Ways to Advertise on the Internet for Free
http://ping.fm/AkLiX

Three Ways to Advertise on the Internet for Free

Advertising your business on the Internet doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, it does not have to cost you anything at all. Every savvy business owner is always on the lookout for ways to stretch their ad budget to get the most possible exposure at the least possible cost.

Here are three ways you can promote your business without spending a dime.

1. Volunteer for an interview on Blog Talk Radio. Blog Talk Radio is a popular Internet radio channel featuring bloggers from across the Internet. The hosts of these radio shows are continually creating new programs and they are always on the look out for guests to interview for their listeners.

You can search the shows on Blog Talk Radio by category to find one (or more) in your niche. Contact the show's host and find out if you can be interviewed for an upcoming broadcast. You will get the opportunity to discuss how and why your business will benefit the show's listeners, as well as advertise your website link. If you find your business is suited for this type of exposure and you enjoy the experience, you can even create your own Blog Talk Radio show and promote your business via Internet radio on a regular basis.

2. Another great way to get free advertising on the Internet is by becoming an active participant on a forum in your industry. Nearly every type of industry has forums and chat rooms where colleagues gather and share insights and tips. Internet marketers make great use of forums both to interact and share with each other as well as to perfect their sales pitches and technological ideas, such as new software they develop.

Some forums are open to everyone. Other forums require a registration and possibly charge a membership fee. Assess the value of the forum before you pay a fee, but don't let a few dollars prevent you form becoming a member of a quality forum. Forums are an excellent way to establish yourself as an expert in your field. They also give you a place to learn, grow and improve your skills and knowledge.

Your business will gain from active forum participation in two ways. Every time you leave a comment on a forum, you have the opportunity to leave a link to your website. If you are sharing useful information on the forum, this will definitely bring you traffic. Your business will also gain from forum participation through your ongoing participation as you develop networking opportunities, market your products and services and sharpen your skills in sales.

3. You-Tube Videos offer a third way to advertise your business on the Internet for no cost. With a simple video camera, you can create an informative or interesting video to drive traffic to your business website. Video is fast becoming the preferred medium for many Internet regulars. Many people love the entertainment value of a humorous video. Others prefer to learn a new technique or skill by watching rather than reading.

Video can be very enticing for businesses that provide training for a particular service. If you have a five-step system for your service, you can share the first two on a You-Tube video and then draw viewers to your site for the remaining information. You can also make a creative video that leaves viewers with a question they can have answered through your services. With a bit of imagination and a small investment of time, video can become a huge advertising tool for your business.

These are only three of the many ways you can promote your online business for free. You also have options such as article marketing, link exchanges, social networking and more. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you have to pay to get the word out about yourself or your business. It can be done and done successfully, without breaking the bank. So, which will you choose to do first?

Tweet Your Heart Out to Grow Your Business at No Cost

When you have a business, especially a small business, you need to make the most of every marketing dollar you spend. Most small businesses don’t have a lot of extra money lying around to just throw up in the air, hoping they hit their target and draw in sales. The good news is you don’t need to have a lot of money to effectively advertise, promote and market your business. In fact, you can do it for no money at all!

Social media is absolutely bursting out from its seams and straight up CHANGING the way to create and maintain your business relationships. One of the hottest hang out spots on the web these days is Twitter.

If you haven’t stepped into the Twitterverse yet, the time to begin is right now. This social site is growing fast! It’s called “micro-blogging” and it’s becoming a hot way to extend your business network.

How Do You Twitter?

Here’s the Twitter kick: You get 140 characters to say what’s on your mind. You choose whomever you’d like to "follow" which means you will see their comments, known as Tweets. The folks who follow you will see your tweets, but so will anyone you call out by name. This is done by using an @reply. You simply type in the @ sign before a person’s username and they will catch that tweet, whether they are following you or not.

That, right there, is the beauty of Twitter. With one little line, you reach out and connect with a new person. Most of the time, that person will then respond and if you bond at all, you are likely to begin following each other and creating a relationship.

What is a Re-Tweet?

The other super power of this marketing madness is the power of the Re-Tweet. Here is where Twitter casts your net(work) far and wide.

When you post a tweet that one of your followers thinks is worth passing on to their followers, he or she can re-tweet it! They simply type in RT before your @username and then cut and paste your message. This sends out your tweet to their entire following, where someone else may just re-tweet it again. The power of the multitudes climbs like crazy and suddenly, you find yourself with more new followers to get to know.

Twitter is More than Just Sales - It’s Relationship Building

This brings us to the most important part of Twitter- how to use it effectively to promote and market your business. With Twitter, it isn’t all about the sales. That’s right - I just told you the most effective marketing hot spot on the web is not all about making sales. It’s about the people and the relationships you build with them. The fastest way to get dropped like a hot potato in the Twitterverse is to spend all of your time on self-promotion through links to your site or products and using a hard sell technique.

People come to Twitter looking for ways to share what they know, create real relationships and maybe even start a joint venture or two. Have conversations with people on Twitter. You don’t need to (and shouldn’t) share intimate personal details on the public timeline, though. Also, don’t carry on closed conversations for more than a couple of tweets. There is a feature called Direct Message that lets you talk one-on-one like instant messaging. Use that feature for private conversations. Your conversations will get more results when you keep things on the lighter side combined with tidbits of useful information and welcome other people into the conversation.

The days of the hard-sell are dwindling. As more and more people discover the adventure of running their own businesses, they are changing the way business is done. Internet entrepreneurs may never lay eyes on their clients in the real world. They need to build up other ways of developing trust - a key component of any business growth. By developing true connections and relationships through social media marketing, like Twitter, business owners and clients get a real sense of each other’s standards and ethics.

Interacting, offering a helping hand, and providing links to other people’s great information as well as your own are all ways to develop a successful network via Twitter. These are the types of things which make Twitter’s marketing magic come alive.

Simplifying Your Social Marketing Through Automation

Last time, I talked about the importance of integrated social networking, or having your social networks, blogs, etc. work together to build your business and traffic.

Today, I want to talk about some resources you can use to help automate the process. The best part is, these resources are 100% free.

To get the most out of social marketing, you need to be active in many (and I do mean, many) networks. These include blogging sites, online communities, micro-blogging sites, video sharing sites, and others. But, trying to post to these sites one at a time would take forever. To make this process easier, take a look at some of the sites below:

Friend Feed -- http://www.friendfeed.com/kurttasche

Hellotxt.com -- http://hellotxt.com/user/kurttasche

Ping.fm -- http://ping.fm

Each of these sites will take your blog post or other content, and send it to all other sites on the network that you have accounts with. My favorite of these is Ping.FM, as they allow you to categorize what type of sites to post to (blogs, micro-blogs, and status updates for sites like Facebook and Myspace.) You also have the option of posting via e-mail, SMS/text messaging, Instant messenger (all major IM's are supported), Skype and others.

Using more than one of these services can be beneficial, as they don't all support all social sites. However, plan carefully, or you'll end up with multiple posts and repeated 'post loops' on some of your sites. This is especially true with Twitter, as many sites have apps that will tweet your content for you automatically.

Ways to Earn Money Quick Online

People are always looking for ways to earn money quick. In our rush, rush society, we are always looking for immediate gratification. We want to put in the work, and get the results immediately. This is why fitness products that promise to get you in shape in ‘just 3 minutes a day’ are so popular. In this article, I will discuss one of the best ways to earn money quick. Not only as a one-shot deal, but for long-term residual income.

Having a business on the Internet is the number one priority in earning a fast income. But, there are so many ways of earning money online, one can get lost in the information overload. Therefore, I will stick with one proven system to making a living online. And that proven system is affiliate marketing. Or, more specifically, multi-tiered (multi-level) affiliate marketing.

First, let’s get one thing straight. No matter how you look at it, multi-tiered affiliate marketing is network marketing. Plain and simple. Network marketing is a proven business model that has stood the test of time. Although it has had some negative connotations, network marketing is at the top of the list when looking for ways to earn quick money. Especially on the Internet.

There are many multi-level affiliate programs available, offering excellent compensation plans, and superb products and services. Do your research when deciding what companies to work with. It will save you some major headaches. Here are just a few of the things to watch for…

1) How long has the company been in business? I recommend working with a company that has been in business for at least 3 years. This does not mean that newer companies are not good. It just means older companies are more stable, and have worked out all the ‘kinks’ in their systems.

2) It should cost you nothing to start your business. If a company asks for money upfront, this is not necessarily a bad thing. However, you are doing the company a favor by promoting their products. They should let you start for free, or at least let you try the business free for a limited time, before you fully commit yourself.

3) It should be unlimited. What good is a business that only allows you to earn a few thousand a month. Many of us have bills and other debts that way exceed this amount.

Those are just a few things to look for when looking at a multi-level affiliate program. Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to earn money quick, and will be around for many years to come.
