Discover What It Takes to Succeed Online…

0

I just wanted to share with you today a video that my personal friend John Thornhill created. In this video he reveals some pretty personal stuff including:

* How he had to go to work in a factory to do a job he hated
* How he was over $75,000 in debt
* How he never had a vacation till he was almost 30 years old
* How constantly struggled to ‘get by’

This is extremely revealing stuff that John has to share this with you as now he is a highly successful online marketer and his philosophy is if he can do it anyone can, and that’s what he wants to share with you in this video.

Like I’ve already said it’s extremely revealing stuff but once you see what John has achieved since the dark days of working long hours in a factory you’ll realize anyone can achieve what he has. And I’m on my way…

I attribute much of my online success to John, as many of you may know. His support is incredible.

So, I’d advise you check this out right now and see if you can duplicate John’s success:

Affiliate Marketing Solutions

One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).

The benefits of this are

You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!

The downside is…

After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you’re losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.

What’s the solution?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. 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’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a pre-sales page in between.

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

You’ll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again.
You’ll be pre-selling them 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:

A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
One or more content-rich Pre-Selling Pages
At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically – you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page.

If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affiliate tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn’t much of a concern.

The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your business.

3 Tips For A Successful Landing Page

4

Hey guys…I’m not going to lie to you. Affiliate marketing is hard if you don’t know what you’re doing. Sure it’s easy to sign up with all the affiliate merchants, collect your affiliate link and banners for as many products as possible with the intention of promoting all the products but it’s just not going to happen unless you have a proven strategy.

Here are 3 tips to help you create powerful landing pages that will not only add more buyers to your subscriber list but also rank you high in the search engine results page.

Tip 1 – Include a sign-up form to build a buyer’s list.

This is important! You want to collect the names and Emails of every single person that lands on your page. If they’ve happily given you their information you are allowed to follow–up with them and finalize any missed sales. Not only that but you’ll be able to build a database of trusted buyers who will respond highly to you in the future if you’ve got another interesting product to promote either as an affiliate or a product of your own!

Tip 2 – Include a bonus package for buying through you!

People actually ‘Google’ product names for reviews and bonuses. They want to see what exactly a product is about without all the hype and want to see what bonuses are available for that product. When they’ve made a decision to buy they want to see who’s offering the best bonus package. Make a mental note of this because this is your chance to shine and out-do your competition!

Tip 3 – Optimize your landing page for specific keywords!

Don’t waste your time trying to target the highly competitive keywords that all the mainstream websites are after. You’re much better off picking a handful of high-targeted keywords based around the product’s name, a review of the product’s name, problems with the product’s name, the product’s name with ‘bonus’, and so on. Add these keywords and phrases to your title tags, meta description tags, h1 tags, h2 tags and on the first and last paragraph of your page. Not only will you find it easier to rank highly in the search engine results page but you’ll be attracting the ‘buying’ traffic that you’re after.

Creating quality templates can be a time-consuming process but fortunately, you can pick up a new free template every month from Killer Preseller. This is an awesome service that I am a member of and am completely satisfied with what they have to offer!

Do You Need Your Own Product?

6

Do you need to have your own product to “make it” in the world of internet marketing and online business? This is one of the age old questions among internet marketers and has been asked and answered many many times since internet marketing’s inception. I have heard so many different opinions on this. There are those that say you absolutely need to have your own product to succeed in internet marketing and there are those that say no way, it’s not necessary at all. So who’s right, who’s wrong?

I really think that everybody is right. What?! Yes, having your own product is wonderful but certainly not necessary. You can take your product, build a site around the product, create an affiliate program and have others sell it for you, etc… and that works. However, if you don’t have your own product, you can certainly become successful as an affiliate marketer, selling other people’s products. I know internet marketers that have become hugely successful by creating and selling their own product, but on the other hand, I also know some extremely successful affiliate marketers and that’s all they do.

I think a better point is what do a successful internet marketer with his/her own product and an successful affiliate marketer have in common? Motivation and Passion! It takes motivation, passion, drive and ambition to succeed at any endeavor you choose and internet marketing is no different. You need to have passion and love for what you are doing to keep you drive and ambition alive!

Whether you are marketing your own product or someone else’s as an affiliate marketer, your success is definitely related to how passionate you are, how focused you are, how much you believe in the product and how effective your marketing techniques are.

What do you think?

Ray even follows up what he teaches you with step by step screen capture videos so you can learn how to actually apply what you’ve learned from the eBook.

Here’s what’s inside the Clickbank Stealth course:

**Why the domain name you choose has a DRAMATIC effect on your profits

**Why poor copy will KILL your website, and how to write Clickbank “Cash-Cow” copy that will force top marketers to promote you

5 Questions I Recently Asked Myself…

5 Questions I Recently Asked Myself…

So, yes…it has almost been a month since I have posted here! :0 And yes, I was somewhat surprised myself that it has been that long because we all know that consistent blogging is key to a successful blog. However, that being said, let’s just say I took a minor “break” from affiliate marketing and concentrated on all aspects of my ebay business, product creation (both of which will really take off in2010!), and social media.

Affiliate marketing is a passion for me, always has been. But recently, a site/program that I promoted and am earning monthly recurring commissions from still has not paid out. Going on 5 months now and to date I haven’t received a dime. I did get in touch (finally) with the owner and was told that I’d be paid in 1-2 days… hmmm, that was last month.

This plus some other things I had going on really got me thinking… should I take a complete break from affiliate marketing? is all the hard work really worth it? should I concentrate 100% on creating my own products? And you know, when all was said and done… I love affiliate marketing! I know that having my own product is even better and I’m working on that, and I do have other income streams in place, but affiliate marketing just rocks for me. So no, I won’t be putting affiliate marketing on the back burner anytime soon.

During the week between Christmas and New Years, I did a lot of thinking and reflecting, and asked myself these questions, came up with a plan of action, and now I’m going to take on 2010 like there’s no tomorrow!

What is it that I really want?

Am I happy doing what I’m doing now?

What changes do I need to make (if any) to get to what I really want?

What motivates me?

What makes me tick?

Answering these questions helped me formulate a plan of action for my online businesses and gave me some new personal insight as well. Take the time, really think about things and come up with your plan for success in 2010!

Set Yourself Up For Surefire Success in 2010

1

With Thanksgiving over, thoughts are now turning to Christmas – and the New Year. I want to help jumpstart your success in 2010 and here’s how…

I stumbled across the most amazing site recently. I had a hard time believing is was all for real… but… after the shock wore off, this was something I knew shouldn’t be overlooked!

This is a sizzling opportunity, a take-it-to-the-bank package to make sure 2010 can be your best year yet. Listen up because this is a limited time offer (you’ll understand why when you see it) and for me was a complete no-brainer. Why? Because you have the opportunity to gain a lifetime’s top level access to ten top 5 star membership sites…Yes you read that right – Top level access to not just one or two, but to TEN 5 star membership sites! I know, I know…I found it hard to believe too, but it’s true.

AND, it gets even better…you can take a full 30 days to actually test drive it all at no cost. This gives you a great advantage because you’re getting a boatload of Master Reseller and other licenses on red hot products, such as books, courses, videos and software (and other items too hot to mention in an public blog), which you can use to pour cash straight into your PayPal account.

That way, when the 30 days trial is up, you’ll not only have enough to cover the amazingly tiny payment for all this, you’ll have enough left over for the best ever New Year’s party. Woo hoo!

I do have to warn you: this is such a lucrative deal that it is going to be severely limited as to who gets on board so you may not want to waste another minute… Click here for all the juicy details!

Oh, oops, I’m so excited about being able to offer you this, I almost forgot to mention the name: PriviledgedMemberships.com – perfect!

Viral Marketing: Choosing a Topic For Your Report

0

Viral Marketing: Choosing a Topic For Your Report

A viral report will only do well if it’s on a subject people want to read about. There’s no point researching and writing (or outsourcing) a report only to find your market isn’t interested in it and I also think it’s important to select a topic that you are really interested in and something which is related to what you want to promote. Of course all this goes almost without saying, but then…how do you actually go about selecting a hot topic for your report?

You should first consider what sites/products you want to promote…

Let’s say I want to promote an eBook on “how to make money from blogging”. In this case a good viral report might be ‘How to Set Up a Blog’ or ’30 Important Blogging Tips’. These titles aren’t the best as I’m just throwing them out there and I’m sure that you can think of really great titles, but you get the idea…

What if there’s no obvious topic for your report? A great place to start is getting involved in forums. Browsing forums related to the topic of the product/site that you want to promote are a wonderful place to get information, see what people are discussing, and get to know what’s hot.

Let’s say you’re operating in the internet marketing niche. I regularly browse through internet marketing forums, and from that I know that the following are pretty hot topics:

Blogging
Twitter
Social Network Marketing
Viral Marketing
Product Creation
Article Writing

Each of these could easily form the basis for a good report.

You can use a viral report as a complete money making system in it’s own right. I’m not currently involved in the gardening niche, but I could start making money from it today. All I’d need to do is find some gardening related products which I could promote as an affiliate, insert some links to those products into my report, and begin distributing the report.

So, you might already know what’s hot in the niche you’re operating in, but if you don’t it’s very easy to find out.

Go to Google and type in “your niche + forum” and “your niche + blog.”

This will locate forums and blogs in your niche. Make yourself a coffee, and spend an hour or two browsing through the forum discussions and blog posts looking for what people are talking about. It usually becomes pretty apparent what might make a good report topic.

I’ve never gotten into the dog training niche, but two minutes spent browsing one of the forums in the screen shot above gave me several ideas for a free viral report – ‘training an older dog’, and ‘preventing dog travel sickness.’

Look for the problems or questions that people seem to be having in that niche. If a particular topic or issue seems to crop up regularly then it’s a good sign, or if you find a particular thread has five pages of posts then that’s a great sign too!

Next post we’ll get into researching and creating your report…
