What is "Keywords Injection" you might ask? Well, I am not sure if the term is accurate or not, but I just made it up because it describes a method to inject keywords in your online articles and publications. The method have a lot of benefits that will help bringing your site to the top of search engines listings (one of many many goals in life), and can get your site a few extra links.
How it works:
Simple, you just link the keywords in your articles to relevant pages in your site. Let's say you are writing about "used cars" and there is another page in your site that lists used cars for sale. Select a few keywords in your article or blog and link them to the targeted page (for example the used car listings page). Use complete links (starting from the http)... so if someone copies your article, the link will still work. That's it, now watch the benefits of this.
Benefits:
- When someone is reading your articles, s/he is definitely interested in the subject. They are more likely to click on the link and purchase your services or products.
- Since the keyword is relevant to the targeted page, search engines will relate your page to the keyword which will send better qualified web traffic.
- If you submit your articles to an articles' site, you will get more links, so higher position in the search results.
- Most people who copy your article for their site (or use RSS feed to get the article), will include your links and same as above.
This as usual assert that the most important part of any site is content. Good content can deliver better business.
Now, let's see some examples on major players who implemented this techniqe and created huge sites. Wikipedia is one of the largest website in the planets and they rank very high for almost any keywords. They did this by making keyword injection very simple for users.
If the user want to link to another subject, they only have to put that brackets [] around the word. Wiki software will find a page related to that keyword and create the link automatically. If the relevant page is missing, wiki will create a link to create that page. Currently, almost every major keyword is linked to a relevant page on Wikipedia that drives more web traffic and increase their page rank.
To create a solution that will automatically link your major keywords to relevant pages in your website, you can create a server script (like PHP or ASP) that have a list of all the major pages in your website with relevant keywords to each. Before the article is published, the script will automatically read your articles for any keywords and link them to your page. Adding such a system can improve your overall site rank (since most of your pages are linked together) and generate better traffic and higher sales.

EBay - Your Ultimate Tool to Success And Prosperity
By: John Thornhill
You must have heard about a lot of people that make a kill selling things on eBay. You must have also come across stories about how people have left their full time jobs, and now make all their earnings through eBay, and that too, a substantial amount. Then there are those who continue with their existing jobs, but pursue eBay to have additional handsome income. While all this is true, you should remember that it is work after all, and requires commitment. Don’t believe those who tell you that you don’t have to work, and that eBay will do everything for you, while the money keeps pouring in. eBay is just a medium over the internet. You have to make it work for you, and this is not a simple task. However, if you are determined and focused, eBay can turn into an ultimate tool that will lead you to success and prosperity, if you are willing to work towards it.
For starting out, decide what you are going to sell. While this would seem obvious, but there are lots of people who ignore this step. One thing leads to another, and before you know, you might be selling things as varied as antiques, to plasma TVs. Start with a niche and stick to it. If you venture out into too many different things, think about the inventory that you would need to maintain! Expanding should be a gradual process that comes with success, but is definitely not recommended in the beginning. Don’t try to be Wal-Mart, just stick to a niche!
Have complete understanding of your profits, and keep a tight control over it. While this might sound very easy and obvious, it is one of the most difficult things to follow up on a day-to-day basis, and comes more out of habit. Always consider all the overheads, and supposedly hidden costs that you will encounter. For selling on eBay, the overheads will consists of eBay and Pay Pal charges (or charges for any other mode of payment that you accept), shipping charges, packing costs etc. Other "hidden" charges can include the cost of borrowing, cost of space for maintaining the inventory etc. Include all these charges when deciding on a price. It is also much better to sell lower volume for higher margins, rather than high volume for very low margins. At such times, the turnover will look big, but after considering all the charges, you will be left with very little for the amount of work you have put in.
Apart from these, there are other factors like maintaining a professional attitude, and maintaining your focus even during dire times. Don’t expect to achieve overnight success with eBay. You will have to ride the learning curve, and profits in the beginning will not be as much as you like them to be. But as you gain experience, and learn new things, and then apply them, you are bound to achieve success, and prosperity

How to Boost Your Website Traffic…Today!
By: Ciara Carruthers
When people speak of a ‘successful’ website, they normally mean one or both of the following; a website that has high traffic or a website that earns plenty of pocket money for its owner.
Ideally, a website owner should pursue both. Money may not be the main drive but with a steady cash flow, funds can be re-invested into the website, improving its value even further.
Building said successful website is much more difficult than defining it, however. To build a high trafficked website, one must achieve both factors of the following equation: [Great content] + [Lots of inbound links] = Lots of traffic
Adding great content over time and developing a link building strategy is a sure fire way to a profitable and valuable website. With steady work, on a daily or at least weekly basis, a website owner can start to see results within a year.
However, some of us don’t have the patience to wait that long. So, are there ways to build traffic TODAY? Yes. The following methods have all proven to be efficient ways of increasing traffic in the short term. Combine these methods with the above equation and you will create a successful website…right now.
Create viral marketing for your website
When you start out, you don’t have so many links pointing into your site. People just don’t know you exist. So, a fine way to spread the word is through viral marketing.
Viral marketing is essentially an way of getting people to notice your site in a way that spreads by itself. Hence the word ‘viral’. It acts as a virus does. Techniques include; ‘Tell a friend’ buttons, del.i.cious, ezines, ebooks, etc…
Forum Participation
Join two or three GOOD forums relating to your website. A good forum has continual visits. Joining a slow forum won’t benefit you greatly. Assure that the forum allows ‘signatures’ within which you can put a link to your website. Signatures are a small message that will automatically attach itself to the end of your questions or answers within the forums.
Get into those forums and really participate. Add value to the forum. Don’t just post silly answers in order to get your signature up there.
Yahoo Answers
Yahoo Answers is rather similar to forum participation except that the site is not confined to one category. You can answer questions based on anything, though naturally, you will be answering questions mainly based on your topic. With Yahoo Answers, you are not given the use of a signature. So, you will find a way to include a link to your website within your answer.
This is a tricky game, however, because if you include a link to your website within every answer, you may be accused of spamming and get chucked out. My advise is to aim to provide valuable information, including a link to your website within every third or fourth answer. Try also to include links to other useful websites, not just your own.
Using these three strategies on a continual basis will start the traffic ball rolling without having to wait those awful visitor-less months and months.

How To Promote Any Business On The Internet For Little Cost
By: Jeff Schuman
If you are trying to figure out how to get more visitors to your website without spending an arm and a leg to do it, read on. This article will show you 2 easy ways to do it that actually are proven to work.
1. Article Marketing
This means exactly what it says. You write and submit articles to market you business. The easiest way to do that is use Submit Your Article. With them you can write and submit 8 articles a month. They will submit your article to hundreds of directories online.
With each article you are allowed to include a bio box. This is a short classified ad resource box where you get to promote yourself and your business. A good bio box is one where your reader wants to click on the link to your website to find out more information.
To get even better exposure for your article, Submit Your Article offers a program called "Article Leverage" which takes about 20 minute to complete. This is a very simple program where you will rewrite your article into multiple variations. It creates hundreds of unique variations which are then submitted to various article directories.
To rewrite an article you will be asked to rewrite the title, introduction, sentences within the body, the closing, and your bio box. It is easy to do because you are looking at the original and then rewriting it. I have found it easy for anyone to do. If you can type you can do this.
Submit Your Article offers a membership for $37 monthly.
2. Blogging
You should post short 250-300 word articles in your blog several times a month. This could be once a week, or even daily. How often depends on you. Just be consistent with it.
Hosting your own WordPress Blog with a social bookmarking plugin in is the easiest way to promote your blog. You can quickly bookmark each blog article to some of the most popular social directories such as Google Bookmarks, Digg, Stumbleupon, and Windows Live.
This is good for search engine bait. The search engines spider these social directories all of the time. As you bookmark to them on a regular basis they will start spidering your blog more often too!
The benefit of this is more search engine traffic for the your main keyword in your blog article. Over time you can find yourself on page one of hundreds of search engine results. This is free traffic and it is very targeted traffic as well.
Google search "Jeff Houdyschell" and check out his blog builder service. He will build you a WordPress blog for less than $25. The other thing you can do is pick up a free copy of 'The Authority Black Book" by Jack Humphrey. This is a tremendous resource for learning everything you need to know about Web 2.0 and maximizing your blog for a limitedless supply of free traffic.
3. Hire An Article Writer
Some of you do not want to write. You may not be good at it, or you may be to busy to do it. In that case you should hire an article writer to write for you. I am always amazed at how many people will spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars a month on pay per click advertising and yet they do not have an article marketing campaign going.
I am not suggesting to eliminate your ppc advertising campaign. But I am saying that you ad to it by including article marketing via article and social directories. This is a long term approach to promoting your internet business.
Backlinks to your website or blog from the articles you have all over the web can bring you traffic for years to come. A ppc ad is gone the minute you quit paying for it. You can view it this way. Pay Per Click advertising is great for immediate traffic and article marketing is great for long term residual traffic.
I have presented 2 ways to promote your business online. This takes a little time each month. However, it is time well spent as there is nothing more important you can do than work at getting quality traffic to your website.
If you are trying to figure out how to get more visitors to your website without spending an arm and a leg to do it, read on. This article will show you 2 easy ways to do it that actually are proven to work.
1. Article Marketing
This means exactly what it says. You write and submit articles to market you business. The easiest way to do that is use Submit Your Article. With them you can write and submit 8 articles a month. They will submit your article to hundreds of directories online.
With each article you are allowed to include a bio box. This is a short classified ad resource box where you get to promote yourself and your business. A good bio box is one where your reader wants to click on the link to your website to find out more information.
To get even better exposure for your article, Submit Your Article offers a program called "Article Leverage" which takes about 20 minute to complete. This is a very simple program where you will rewrite your article into multiple variations. It creates hundreds of unique variations which are then submitted to various article directories.
To rewrite an article you will be asked to rewrite the title, introduction, sentences within the body, the closing, and your bio box. It is easy to do because you are looking at the original and then rewriting it. I have found it easy for anyone to do. If you can type you can do this.
Submit Your Article offers a membership for $37 monthly.
2. Blogging
You should post short 250-300 word articles in your blog several times a month. This could be once a week, or even daily. How often depends on you. Just be consistent with it.
Hosting your own WordPress Blog with a social bookmarking plugin in is the easiest way to promote your blog. You can quickly bookmark each blog article to some of the most popular social directories such as Google Bookmarks, Digg, Stumbleupon, and Windows Live.
This is good for search engine bait. The search engines spider these social directories all of the time. As you bookmark to them on a regular basis they will start spidering your blog more often too!
The benefit of this is more search engine traffic for the your main keyword in your blog article. Over time you can find yourself on page one of hundreds of search engine results. This is free traffic and it is very targeted traffic as well.
Google search "Jeff Houdyschell" and check out his blog builder service. He will build you a WordPress blog for less than $25. The other thing you can do is pick up a free copy of 'The Authority Black Book" by Jack Humphrey. This is a tremendous resource for learning everything you need to know about Web 2.0 and maximizing your blog for a limitedless supply of free traffic.
3. Hire An Article Writer
Some of you do not want to write. You may not be good at it, or you may be to busy to do it. In that case you should hire an article writer to write for you. I am always amazed at how many people will spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars a month on pay per click advertising and yet they do not have an article marketing campaign going.
I am not suggesting to eliminate your ppc advertising campaign. But I am saying that you ad to it by including article marketing via article and social directories. This is a long term approach to promoting your internet business.
Backlinks to your website or blog from the articles you have all over the web can bring you traffic for years to come. A ppc ad is gone the minute you quit paying for it. You can view it this way. Pay Per Click advertising is great for immediate traffic and article marketing is great for long term residual traffic.

Simple Steps To Keeping Your Home Business Personal
By: Brian Mccoy
Are you looking for a way to attract and maintain personal business contact relationships? How can you keep that personal touch in an impersonal business world?
There are ways to attract your customers while assuring them that you genuinely care about them and their future. Here are a few ways to keep that human touch in your marketing.
1) Personalize Your Capture Page
Your website is the #1 way that your prospects will come in contact with you. First impressions are vital to making your prospect feel a connection to you. Some ways to add the human touch to your site is by adding pictures of you and your family, creating a personal audio message that plays when they land on your site, and giving your business testimonial.
2) Autoresponders
After your prospect enters their information on your website, your autoresponder goes to work for you. Personalize this process as much as possible. Because autoresponders have large memory capabilities, this is readily achieved. The messages that are being sent to your potential customers are constant reminders to them of how they view you. Mix it up a bit by using different forms of automation such as text, audio, or video. Different people will feel welcomed in by different forms of communication. In doing so, it is imperative that you make this process as personal as you can.
3) Invite Yours Prospects To Contact You
Display your contact information for people to contact you. No matter the form of communication, email or phone, your prospects need to be able to reach you. Autoresponders provide a fabulous service, but to have that personal touch with your prospects, they are going to need to be able to get ahold of you. Welcome and encourage prospects to converse with you. This is the truest form of personalization that you can offer. A synergy is created through conversation. People love to talk about themselves, so if you are able to figure out what it is they are looking for, you will have created a win-win situation for both of you.
Make sure that you are getting back to your prospects in a timely manner as well. If you find yourself pressed for time and unable to answer all of their questions at the same time, make sure that you are responding to them somehow. Whether it be through an assistant or an autoresponder while they wait for your response, some form of acknowledgment is needed.
These are some simple ways to add that human touch to your internet marketing business. Check yourself often to make sure that you are continually serving the needs of your prospects. People want to know that they are understood and cared about. If you strive to keep yourself "real", your business will prosper.

How to Write Excellent Website Content
By: Ciara Carruthers
Success on the internet is what you are after. This assumption is based on two facts; that you are taking the time out to read this article, and the fact that more and more people are now realizing that the internet is a potential goldmine.
Many are signing up, hoping to cash in on the wealth that resides on the net. Few, however, succeed.
Creating a money making website, either via selling or advertisements, is not a simple task. It takes commitment, long working hours, self-belief and the willingness to accept delayed gratification. The equation however, of creating a successful website, is a simple one.
(Excellently written, valuable content) + (numerous inbound links) = high traffic = many monetization possibilities.
Fortunately, the first element begets the second; impressive content will generate numerous inbound links by itself. If people like you content, they will link to you.
So, onwards onto the handful of pointers that make excellent content.
Be original
This does not mean writing in a wacky tone, or trying to get people to laugh. It means being yourself. It also means never stealing anybody else's work. Never copy and paste in order to create content. Research, by all means, but compose the articles in your own words.
Use good English
It may seem like a rather obvious suggestion, but I have seen so many sites in which the English usage was just awful. Nothing comes across as less professional. Use a spell checker and then, if you are not a whiz at your language, ask a friend or a colleague to read the article, assuring that the grammar is up to a high standard. Conversely, don't try to be too smart for your own good. Assure that the English you use is fitting for your audience and that they will understand what you are saying.
Be concise
Intelligent usage of the English language creates an enjoyable read; for a book. For any average article, however, people want conciseness. Keep your sentences short. Keep your paragraphs short. Keep your articles short. Bullet points are always excellent to use if you are making points.
Make the first and last paragraphs engaging
Internet surfers skim articles. If the first paragraph is deemed worthy, they may skip to the last paragraph. If these two paragraphs are engaging and interesting, the reader will attend to the whole article. If you don't catch your reader straight away, they will click out as quickly as they clicked in.
Take your reader on a journey
Assure that the flow of the article is natural. You can summarize in the first paragraph and then go more into detail. Don't however, start by introducing all your points at the start. In your last paragraph, you can reiterate your main message.
Write to benefit your reader
YOU may be pursuing an increase in traffic and revenue but in order to get that, you must please your visitor. Your visitor does NOT want to increase your traffic. Your visitor wants to solve the problem which has driven them to search the net; a lack of information. Think first of your visitor and what they want, and then what you want will come in it's due course.
The trick to creating a high traffic website is offering your readers valuable content. Add articles as often as you can, but assure that they are of high quality. If an article takes you hours to write, that will come across. Your reader will feel that you value his or her time. Aim to please your visitor and they will come!

So You've Joined An Affiliate Program To Make Money Online, Now What?
By: Michael Laleye
Affiliate programs are primarily centered around a website or blog. The idea is that the website serves as the information base for the program. People come to the website and learn about the products and program. If they are interested they buy or sign up. That is what is so hard. Most of the time people will scan an ad and see a hundred others just like it, so they ignore it and move on. They need something to catch their eye. They want it to be different. Once they get to the website the information better be clear and explain it all or else they will simply walk away. Good marketing will not only lead them to the website, but peak their interest enough that they willingly read through the website and learn more on their own. Here are 3 tips for marketing your affiliate program on the internet.
1. Create a website, blog, or lens Creating a website gives you a place to promote your affiliate links and also put your customer in the mood to buy or click your affiliate link. When people find your website or blog they are usually looking for information. If your website provides quality information on the product or knowledgeable information about the topic then your visitors will be more likely to click your affiliate links and create a sale for you. A free blog can work just as good as a website depending on the product or service you promote, you can choose from a variety of template designs, and they are free to operate.
2. Search engine optimize your website or blog Search engine optimization(SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via natural search results. By choosing the one word or phrase that describes your affiliate product or service you have partly search optimized it. The basic concept is to weave that phrase of word into your website content to let the search engines know what your website is all about. You also have to submit your site to the search engines themselves to speed up the time it takes for the search engines to find out that your website is even on the map. Once you've done that you can get the search engines to start sending traffic to your site by placing links to your site or blog on other sites related to your affiliate program's products or services, using your main keywords as text links.
There are many ways to link to other websites such as writing articles and submitting them to article directories. You can list you website in any of the thousands of directory listings, and you can post to online forums. The phrase or keyword that describes your site might be a popular one on internet search engines and if so it's not likely you'll see any free traffic from it right away because of heavy competition from other sites that have been around longer and are already optimized. Finding a low competition keyword in the same niche will allow you to get picked up by the search engines quicker. There are tools online that will allow you to search for popular keywords and find lesser competitive variations of your main phrase: you can go to http://tools.seobook.com/general to try it for yourself.
3. Think long term With a long term marketing and growth strategy in mind and with free traffic from the search engines your business will be able to run on autopilot. Learning the skill of search engine optimization can bring thousands of visitors to your affiliate program website or blog. The better you are at SEO and the more visitors your website or blog gains over time from your linking efforts, the more you can expect your affiliate commissions to grow. This snowball effect is one of the best ways to make money online with affiliate programs.

Could You Become A Successful Affiliate Marketer?
By: Anita Buchan
There are e-books everywhere telling you how to become an affiliate marketer. They all explain exactly what you need to do to make money online. All you need to do is follow their advice: it really does work, if you find a program that gives useful information and isn't just a scam.
And there are plenty of websites that tell you how to avoid scams, and review affiliate marketing programs so you know which one is best for you.
So why isn't everyone making money online?
It's simple. Although anyone might be able to learn the knowledge needed to become affiliate marketers, and everyone might have the ability to learn the technical skill needed, not everyone has the personality. It's difficult to make it as an affiliate marketer, and there are several traits you need.
1. Are you hard working?
Don't be fooled by the promises that you can start making money in fifteen minutes, or that you don't need to do anything to start making money. Yes, you can reach the stage where you make money almost automatically, with very little upkeep. However, it takes hard work to reach that stage. You need to create a website, set up and maintain advertising campaigns, and research potential niches. And you need to keep doing these things if you want to increase your income.
2. Are you determined?
While attempting to become a successful affiliate marketer you will face many setbacks. At first, you will almost certainly lose money. There will probably be times when you doubt that you will ever make the money you want. It's important that you are determined enough to keep going. If you give up, you will never become a successful affiliate marketer! It is only be keeping going when you feel discouraged that you will eventually make the money you want.
3. Are you patient?
It can take a long time before you reach the stage where you are making a steady, reliable income and only have to work for an hour each day. Some top affiliate marketers, even super-affiliates, will admit that it took them years to become a success! Of course, you might manage it in a far shorter time. But it's important to remember that it might take some time before you achieve what you are aiming for.
4. Are you organised?
It's possible to be both disorganised and a successful affiliate marketer. However, it's also very difficult! If you want to become a successful affiliate marketer, you are going to have to keep track of multiple websites and advertising campaigns. Being disorganised can mean losing money. Keep track of everything you do.
5. Are you able to learn?
Top affiliate marketers never stop learning. They are always looking out for the newest marketing method or way of advertising. You need to do the same. You also need to be ready to learn from the pros. Listen to what advice they give, and watch what they do. Also try to learn from your mistakes. If you do something that loses you money, don't repeat it! Work out what went wrong, and fix the problem.
Do you think you are hard working, determined, patient, organised and able to learn? If so, you have a very high chance of becoming a successful affiliate marketer!
But if you think being all that sounds a little scary, don't worry! What matters most is that you try. After all, if you decide to give up now, what chance do you have?
None!

Affiliate Marketing Online

A marketing model known as affiliate marketing is where the advertisers are the affiliate merchants and the publishers are the affiliates. Here, the revenue generated through clicks and the same is shared between online advertisers and online publishers.
One of the pioneers of affiliate marketing is Amazon. It adopted the marketing model and now has numerous affiliate associations. By dealing with the applications, generating sales links and reporting the search results after tracking them, affiliate marketing contributes to automating the advertising process.
In Affiliate Marketing, payment is made only for preferred results. Affiliate merchants bear a risk of click fraud from its affiliates or partner sites. Luckily, ways to guard aginst this fraud have been developed in Search Engines like MSN, Google, and Yahoo.

The number of times the ad is viewed compaired to the number is times an ad is clicked is know as the Click-Through Rate (CTR). It is the measurement of the usefulness of an advertising banner. If an ad banner has a CTR 30:1, it implies that 1 out of 30 people, who have viewed, have actually clicked the banner. It is thus also a measure of the successful advertising campaign.

A single Adsense slab inside the content and one sponsored link at the top of your page can do the trick of poring in revenue to your site. Changing the color of the ad link also highlights your link and makes it more noticed to viewers. Setting the URL color identical to that of the ads text makes it to blend within the text and a different link color stands out prominently persuading more viewers to click on the link.

There are ways to secure one-way links that are cost free, instead of reciprocal links. One-way links are also helpful in indexing your site or webzine to the popular search engines.

Profiting from Affiliate Programs
By: Gabriel Clyde
If you currently own a business or are thinking of starting one up, chances are, you are going to need some information about how to get the word out about your product or service. That is when you need to think about marketing and building a marketing strategy.
With the World Wide Web being the major source of information sharing and communications in the world, it is natural that you would want to use this as a major focus for building your marketing strategy. That is what this e-book is for; to teach you how to become a major player in the field of business that you choose by taking advantage of the internet and using affiliation as your marketing strategy’s foundation.
Affiliate programs are an excellent way to generate income for your site or someone else’s, and it is a pretty good introduction into ecommerce, however but it's a numbers game. Basically, the more people who visit your site, the greater your chances become for creating a good income, especially if the programs you participate in are related to your site topic. Chances are you have probably come across many commercial sites that claim to offer the best affiliate program. What you will often learn is that this is simply not true.
So what exactly is an affiliate program, you might ask? An affiliate program is where a company offers to pay you a certain amount of money for either a click through from your site, or a fixed amount for a lead (where the visitor signs up for a newsletter, etc.) or a percentage of a purchase made by a visitor as a result of a click through. Even if the visitor does not make a purchase on the advertiser’s site right away, most programs will offer “cookie duration” of usually around 30-90 days.
What this really means is that as long as the visitor has the cookie in their cache; even if they return to the advertisers site one month later, you will still receive the commission from the sale however, as in all things that are business related, cookie duration is not a guarantee when you sign up for an affiliation program and is something that you need to check for before signing on.
What I have discovered to be very successful is to take advantage of companies like Offers Quest or Google for text link advertising. Text links are a great resource as they are bandwidth friendly, and when they are implemented properly add valuable content to your site which can also assist in search engine rankings.
When it comes to website affiliation, you will also need to know how to conduct a market study because this is how you will find your target audience. Without a targeted audience, your marketing campaign will not be effective.

Affiliate Marketing - The Importance of Mailing Lists
By: Charlie Essmeier
A lot of people are taking an interest in affiliate marketing as a way to either make a living or to earn supplementary income. The growth of affiliate marketing isn't all that hard to understand, as it provides a way to make money from retail products without having to stock inventory, make direct sales to the public or handle returns in the event that the customer is unhappy with the product. With affiliate marketing, the sales process is entirely "hands off."
While there is no work to be done along the lines of making direct sales, there is a lot of work involved in making the public aware of the products you are trying to promote. Two popular methods of bringing your products to the public's attention are to purchase pay per click advertising on the major search engines or to build a Website promoting one or more products. While these methods both work, they require regular, active work, and in the case of pay per click advertising, a regular outlay of cash as you continually try to draw new customers to your advertisements for your products. There is a better way, however, and that is to leverage the customers you already have by creating a mailing list.
Studies show that customers who buy a product are likely to buy another one in the future. Since it is far easier to make a sale to a proven customer than it is to attract a new one, it makes sense to compile a mailing list of customers. That way, should you decide to promote a new product in the future, you can e-mail a sales pitch to your list and know that the message will likely be read by customers who are "ready to buy."
The best part of having a mailing list is that you can automate a lot of the process by using an autoresponder. An autoresponder is an online service that handles mailings and mail lists for you, usually for a small monthly fee. Two of the more popular services are Aweber and Get Response. These services allow you to create a simple form that appears on your Website, asking visitors for their name and e-mail address. You can usually entice them to sign up by offering a free report of some sort in exchange for the information. Once they fill in the form and click the submit button, they are automatically sent a confirmation e-mail, followed by a link to download the report you offered them. From that point on, unless they unsubscribe, they are members of your mailing list.
The power of a mailing list should not be underestimated. There are marketers who have one hundred thousand or more names on their lists, and whenever a new product comes to market, these "super marketers" have the inside track on sales through their ability to instantly contact their members. When you compare the ability to contact hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people instantly with having to build a Website or buy ads, you can easily see how useful it can be to have a list of your own.
A popular saying in affiliate marketing is that "the money is in the list." It's nice to make a sale on the Web or via a pay per click ad, but your goal shouldn't be to make one sale; it should be to make many sales. With a mailing list, you have the ability to do just that.

Review of Autopilot Profits
By: Tricia Ng
I got my hands on Ewen Chia’s another hot-selling product, Autopilot Profits System. The package consists of 1 complete set of Camtasia video tutorials, one 59 pages PDF e-book, and a set of keyword lists. I read through them in one sitting, and here’s my review of the Autopilot Profits System.
What is Autopilot Profits about? If you like Ewen’s Secret Affiliate Weapons (another great product of his), you will love Autopilot Profits System even more!
Secret Affiliate Weapons is great for newbies as it gives us the macro, whole picture view of affiliate marketing which we need as a start. While it is no doubt value-for-money, the tons of information given might be a bit overwhelming though.
The phrase “the more, the merrier” does not apply to internet marketing information. All internet marketers faced this problem of information overload. We get overloaded with too much information and choices that we simply do not know where to go and how to proceed. Autopilot Profits solves this problem exactly.
If you have met Ewen in person, you would have heard of his motto, “internet marketing is very simple”. Indeed, the Autopilot Profits system made simple the entire affiliate marketing processes (the sales page said even a monkey can do it!). If you are confused and overloaded with information, you will appreciate this package. It filters off all the garbage, and gives you clear, detailed step-by-step instructions on the fastest and shortest way to make money while you are sleeping.
The package gives to-the-point instructions on the 4 magic elements of affiliate marketing, namely, find a niche market, find a product to sell, how to drive traffic (12 long-term and fast-track strategies) and automation.
What I like best… I love the professional Camtasia video tutorials that demonstrate the steps unambiguously. My advice is start with the videos first, and use the e-book for future reference. The videos highlighted the crucial steps so that you can learn all the strategies in one day.
If you have done keyword/niche research before, you will realise how tedious it can be. Most of the ebooks that I have read require me to go through very complicated, long-winded steps, generate lots of reports, and at the end of the day, I am still not sure which keywords I should use. In this book, Ewen used a simple, yet powerful 2-step method, one to check for demand, the other to check for competition, and the rules-of-thumb for selection. Within minutes, I got my answers which keywords I should go for. Saves me lots of time.
What I like least… My only gripe with Autopilot Profits System is that most of the resources recommended for automation are not free. Those are nevertheless affordable resources to invest in, if you are serious in your affiliate marketing business.
In a nut shell: If you are the type who likes to spend a week to read through 300 pages of manual, this is not for you. If you like concise, to-the-point affiliate marketing techniques that actually works, this is the ONE to get.
At $27, this is the one of the most affordable affiliate marketing course to jump start your online money-making business. Do yourself a favor, check out Autopilot Profits System (it's risk-free with money-back guarantee!).

Make Money, No Product Required!
By: Terry Detty
Would you like to make money by selling products online? If so, do you already have a collection of products to sell? If not, do you have the money needed to obtain them? If you are like many others, who want to make money online, there is a good chance that you do not have the funds needed. After all, if you did, you likely would not be looking for ways to make money online. While you might automatically assume that it is impossible for you to make money online, especially if you don’t have any products to sell, it isn’t. There is good news. That good news is that you can make money, a substantial amount of money, even if you don’t actually have a product to sell.
As it was stated above, there are a large number of individuals who want to make money online; however, many think that it is impossible to do because they don’t already have a collection of products or they don’t have the money needed to make the purchases. Unfortunately, when this occurs, a large number of individuals just give up. You are advised against doing this. As previously mentioned, it is possible to make money online, even if you don’t have any products to sell. You can do so with affiliate programs.
Affiliate programs are programs that create a partnership with business owners and webmasters. If you are already a webmaster this is great, but if not you can easily become one. As you likely already know, a webmaster is an individual who owns and operates their own online website. Once you have a website and you find another business, which is running an affiliate program, you can enter into a partnership with them. This partnership is unique because you can both benefit from it. Affiliate programs work to help business owners increase their sales, but they also help webmasters generate extra income.
Although affiliate programs sound nice, you may be looking for more information. After all, with internet scams at an all time high, you can never be too cautious. While some affiliate programs are operated in different ways, they tend to be operated in similar matters. This matter involves the business owner creating links or banners for webmasters, just like you, to display on their website. Special tracking software, which is often referred to as affiliate tracking software, is used. That software will enable a business owner to determine exactly when you helped them generate a sale and how much that sale was. This sale will, in turn, generate additional income for you by way of commissions. The amount of money that you make will all depend on the affiliate program that you choose to join, but your commission is often a percentage of your sale. In some instances, can also be a flat rate amount.
When it comes to affiliate programs, one of the questions most commonly asked is “why?” As previously mentioned, affiliate programs allow you to make money selling a product that isn’t even yours. This means that you do not have to deal with any inventory. You also don’t have to ship any products to the buyers. In fact, you shouldn’t even have to communicate with your customers. Your affiliate partner, the one who is selling the product, will do all of the work for you. What could be easier than that?
If you are interested in making money online, without having to have your own products to sell, you are urged to further examine affiliate programs, namely the programs that are available for you to join. You can find these programs by examining large affiliate hosting programs, such as LinkShare. You can also find affiliate programs to join by examining the online websites of various online retail stores. Typically towards the bottom of the main homepage, a business will outline whether or not they have an affiliate program that you can apply to. If you are really looking to make money online, you are urged to find a product, a service, or a company that you can fully stand behind, one hundred percent.
Would you like to make money by selling products online? If so, do you already have a collection of products to sell? If not, do you have the money needed to obtain them? If you are like many others, who want to make money online, there is a good chance that you do not have the funds needed. After all, if you did, you likely would not be looking for ways to make money online. While you might automatically assume that it is impossible for you to make money online, especially if you don’t have any products to sell, it isn’t. There is good news. That good news is that you can make money, a substantial amount of money, even if you don’t actually have a product to sell.
As it was stated above, there are a large number of individuals who want to make money online; however, many think that it is impossible to do because they don’t already have a collection of products or they don’t have the money needed to make the purchases. Unfortunately, when this occurs, a large number of individuals just give up. You are advised against doing this. As previously mentioned, it is possible to make money online, even if you don’t have any products to sell. You can do so with affiliate programs.
Affiliate programs are programs that create a partnership with business owners and webmasters. If you are already a webmaster this is great, but if not you can easily become one. As you likely already know, a webmaster is an individual who owns and operates their own online website. Once you have a website and you find another business, which is running an affiliate program, you can enter into a partnership with them. This partnership is unique because you can both benefit from it. Affiliate programs work to help business owners increase their sales, but they also help webmasters generate extra income.

Easy Affiliate Profit Increasers
By: Terry Detty
In today’s society, everyone is searching for easy ways to make money. In a way, affiliate programs can be considered one of those opportunities. If you have a website that receives a high amount of traffic, you may be able to make money with affiliate programs, with little or no work. Despite the possibility of making money with little effort, you may want to think about putting forth some effort. There are a number of relatively easy ways that you can go about increasing your commissions.
If you are already in an affiliate program, you likely know exactly what affiliate program commissions are. If this is your first time joining an affiliate program, you may want to learn a little bit more. Affiliate program commissions are just like the commissions that many retail stores offer their employees for making large sales. If and when you join an affiliate program, you will be notified of your commission rate ahead of time. Say, that rate is five percent. Every sale that you help to generate, you will receive five percent of that sale in commissions. Many times, all you need to do is place a link or a banner on your website. That is why affiliate programs are often considered on the easiest ways to make legitimate money online.
One of the easiest ways to increase the amount of commission you make with affiliate programs to choose your programs wisely. When it comes to affiliate commissions, different programs offer affiliates different commission rates. Typically, a common commission percentage is three to five percent. There are a select number of affiliate programs that have a ten or even a fifteen percent commission rate for affiliates. Joining an affiliate program that has a relatively high commission percentage is one of the easiest ways that you can increase the amount of money you make.
Another one of the many ways that you can go about increasing your commission is to be successful. Although this is often easier said than done, it can help you immensely. Most affiliate programs reward their highest performing affiliates. For instance, once you reach a high level of earning, like one thousand dollars in sales, you may be promoted to a higher commission level. Many affiliate programs do this as a way to motivate their affiliates. If you can successfully make sales, you can see an increase in the amount of commission you make.
In addition to choosing your affiliate programs wisely and performing better, you can also increase your commissions through experimentation. There are a large number of different ways that you can go about increasing your affiliate program commissions. The only thing is that not all of these ways work for everyone. The best thing that you can do is experiment. You will need to take the time to see what works for you and what doesn’t. When experimenting, you may want to try writing affiliate product reviews or recommendations, sending out monthly newsletters, optimizing your website for search engines, or submitting articles to article directories.
It is also important that you give it time. Increasing your affiliate commissions is not something that will happen overnight. The only way that you can increase your commissions right off the bat is by signing up with a high paying affiliate program. However, even with those programs, you are not guaranteed to make any sales right away. If you are interested in using search engine optimization on your site, sending out newsletters, or submitting to article directories, you need to give these methods time to work. Although you may want to see results right away, it doesn’t matter if it helps one week from now or two months from now, at least you will be able to see an increase in your commissions.
By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, you should be able to see an increase in the amount of money you make with affiliate programs. After time, you may very well end up making a full-time income just with affiliate programs.

PPC Pointers for Beginners
By: Allen Thomason
PPC, also known as pay-per-click is the best and the fastest way to increase your affiliate earnings.
Given below are some pointers that provide you with some very basic information that would be necessary for those who are new to pay-per-click to get started.
1. Be thorough in your keyword research: This is a vital step in successful PPC marketing. In order to pull quality traffic to your website that will result in sales, you need to know what the keyword phrases you need to bid on are. You can sign up for WordTracker, or you can make use of Google's free keyword tool.
You can expect higher bids for the more competitive keywords. However, as you browse through the list you will observe that there are some keywords that are not heavily targeted. They may result in a successful campaign.
The best advice when it comes to PPC is to know your target market and affiliate programs thoroughly. This way you can make pay-per-click ads that use keyword phrases those in your market would be likely to search for and increase your affiliate earnings.
2. Never ignore good advice: PPC is a game whose rules are constantly changing. This makes it difficult to gain expertise, unless you keep in touch with those who already have a good grasp on the game.
You should also buy and read books, subscribe to special newsletters that offer information on the topic, and stay up to date with the latest pay-per-click trends by seeking the advice of those who are already in the know.
Seasoned players would also find it to their advantage to constantly keep an open mind, in order to gain new knowledge to further increase their affiliate earnings. The worst thing you can do is to restrict yourself to a set pattern of thinking.
3. Keep testing: This is the most important step in successful advertising. You need to know which ads are working and which ones are not. The beauty of PPC is that the medium makes it very easy to measure your success.
Measurements and audience response can be gauged by creating split ads. Make sure that you direct one group of users to a particular page, and the other to its counterpart. The changes could be in the form of adding a value proposition or just changing the font style or size. Just be sure that you only change one thing.
Testing helps you to understand what is working and what it isn't. You might also want to consider joining an ad tracker service that allows you to determine which ads are converting sales and which ones are sucking out your revenue.
4. Aim to get quality traffic: Keep in mind that traffic in numbers is not that important. True, more traffic will increase your probability of a sale; however, it is pointless creating an ad that draws numerous visitors if no one buys the product.
Let's say that you manage to send nearly 1,000 visitors to a sponsor or affiliate program. You buy those visitors from a pay-per-click search engine for a 0.10 each. Amounting to $100.Say you made three sales. What you really paid is $33.33 per sale.
You spent $100 to make 3 sales. Three sales cost you $33.33 each. If you had made 10 sales from the same amount of traffic, your sales would have cost $10 each.
Obviously you would want to spend your time in targeting traffic that will result in clicks that ultimately result in sales otherwise you are wasting your advertising budget.
To avoid losing money, test your ads, create a few ads in the beginning and measure their success prior to bidding on more keywords, create a different ad campaign for each keyword, and do not bundle your ads together.

By: Charlie Essmeier

A simple Google search reveals nearly two and a half million results for the topic "make money online."

Affiliate marketing is a powerful advertising method where the seller of a product (the merchant) enlists the help of third parties (affiliates) in making sales. The merchant may offer products for sale via his or her Website, but he knows that if other people help promote and advertise the products it will yield more revenue. In exchange for third party help, the merchant offers the affiliates a portion of the sales price in exchange for the free advertising that the affiliates provide.
In the most common scenario, the affiliates advertise products via their own Websites or e-mail campaigns, and include a link that prospective customers may use to purchase the products described. That link includes code that tells the merchant which affiliate sent the customer so that the affiliate may receive his or her commission for the sale.
The beauty of affiliate marketing is that participants don't have to stock inventory, make sales directly or ship any merchandise. The sales process is entirely "hands off" as far as the affiliate is concerned, making the process much simpler than running any sort of retail operation.

Clickbank.com - Clickbank bills itself as the "Internet's leading retailer of digital products." They only sell downloadable products, such as software and electronic books, or e-books. There are thousands of products available for sale at Clickbank that cover a wide variety of interests. Each of these products has an affiliate program, and many of them offer commissions of as much as 75% of the sales price to affiliates. It's easy to sign up and they pay twice a month like clockwork.

There are literally thousands of different companies that use CJ to enlist the help of affiliates to boost their sales. Commission Junction has the widest variety of products available for those who are interested in affiliate marketing.
The nice thing about making money in this type of marketing is that it is easy to get started.

By: Allen Thomason
Everyone seems to be looking for the "secret" to success or the "wealth formula" and most want it in the "fast lane" from online these days. The statistics show that 95% of businesses fail online due to either you don't have a business that offers real value, or your level of understanding and experience of online marketing and advertising. The fact is, building an online business and earning six figures a year from home can be accomplished. But, I said "can" be done, just don't expect it overnight for the most part. If you are able learn and master properly how to market and advertise online and have a quality product, you will find that online success is "very" possible.
There are so many different marketing techniques used today in online marketing, it's easy to become confused and completely loose your focus. Currently there are two techniques that are proven to work and are actually cutting edge: article marketing and video (YouTube) that every new or well versed internet marketer should be doing.
In article marketing, the internet marketer writes informative articles discussing or reviewing a particular product or service. Then, by submitting it to article directories provides content for hungry web masters and gives relative content to many. In return, when a web master posts an article on their website, it provides a link back to your service or product. Placing an effective article can lead to a large volume of "targeted" web traffic and visitors to your site, thus a potential a substantial incursion of sales.
At this point you may think "I'm not a writer" or "how do I know what to write about?" Great question, most people aren't either. However, there are already a vast supply of pre-written articles on your subject matter. A simple search at www.ezinearticles.com will bring up articles related to your keyword search. Educate your self through reading articles pertaining to your "keyword" or "niche", and rewrite what you have learned.
In addition to article marketing, video marketing is a new and upcoming technique.

Recording a simple video introducing who you are and the service or products you have available builds credibility and marks you as an authority in your niche market. Secondly, the Google search engine loves youtube. Posting a video on youtube in the proper categories using the proper keywords in your heading can earn you top positions in the Google search engine.
Both of these techniques are proven to work successfully, and have been used by many internet marketers. As with any other marketing technique, the more you use each technique acknowledged above, you will drive more traffic to your business and ultimately put you in a profit building mode.

Affiliate Project x gives the details on six powerful and very specific methods you can use to explode your online income. These methods are called, The Leech, The Affiliate Diary, The workhorse, Copy the best, The Thief in the night and The Opportunist.
The Leech
Though this method may seem simple at first glance, it is extremely powerful and all but guaranteed to attract highly targeted traffic to your website. If you precisely follow the instructions given in the book, you will definitely see results. The explanations are detailed and to the point and void of fluff like a lot of the other publications that cover similar subject matter. There are actual examples of landing pages that are currently in use and earning the author thousands of dollars per month.
Note - You may initially have to pay high bid prices to get in the game but explanations are given as to how to reduce the prices once you have gotten in.
The Affiliate Diary
This method gets into the power and necessity of list building. The author, Chris does an outstanding job of explaining how to build a targeted list of buyers and turning them into repeat customers, willing to buy from you over and over again.
The WorkHorse
What makes this method so attractive is the fact that you do not have to spend any money to get results from it. It is based on the very lucrative world of article marketing. You̢۪re instructed on how to laser target high volume keywords that have little competition, write articles targeting those keywords and then use those articles to get your page listed very highly in the search engines. This method practically guarantees you boatloads of free traffic.
Copy the Best
This may be the low point of the whole ebook â€" NOT! It’s great â€" it teaches you how to save loads of time by simply copying the best of the best. You simply look at what is working and duplicate it.
The Thief in the night
This too is a great time saver and teaches you some more underhandedness. You may have to strangle your conscience a bit but the paycheck at the end of the month will make it a whole lot easier.
The Opportunist
This method explains how to find and take advantage of new products before they become widely known and before there is too much competition. This method alone can make you big money quickly.
My Opinion
Affiliate Project x will work for you whether you are an experienced Internet Marketer or if you are brand new to the Internet. To extract the most out of Affiliate Project X, you will need to do some research. A lot of that research can be made a lot easier and less time consuming if you use a keyword tool. The free tools available will work but the paid tools have more functionality and will be more productive. So you have a choice of investing a little more time or a little more money.
I would definitely regard Affiliate Project X as worth having.
As you probably already know or have heard, making money using the internet is a very exciting prospect. The fact that you are able to sell your products worldwide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week makes it an almost irresistible marketing medium. The necessary tools are not that expensive: a PC, an internet connection and a little knowledge provided by the multitude of available books and ebooks that have been written on the topic.

Top 5 Ways to Promote and Market an Affiliate Program.
By: Aurelius Tjin
Marketing affiliate products can be challenging if you don’t know what to do and how to go about the marketing. There are various methods via which you can get an affiliate product in the face of people. But in this article, we’ll be examining the top five methods that you can use in promoting affiliate products.
1. Marketing to a list.
It is imperative that every marketer build a list. Why? Because the money is in the list. Anything short of that is less than spectacular. Marketing to an “opt-in” list built by you almost always generates lots of money on affiliate products. To do this effectively, all you need to do is create an avenue where you can consistently send your subscribers an email with offers. The list is about the best source of marketing because the subscribers trust you –if you have been offering high quality information and recommending reputable products- and know that what you offer them is of high value. Remember the “no lesson today” method we talked about in a particular edition, this is where you can utilise the method effectively. You can just decide to take one day off every week to make them these offers.
2. Use Pay per click methods.
Using PPC methods effectively entails just two things: Doing proper keyword research and bidding reasonably. PPC search engines ask you to pay a preset amount for every click you generate. The good thing about using pay per click Programs such as Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, and MSN Adcenter is you get highly targeted traffic. Only those who are searching for your products get to see them. For instance, if I am looking for Shoes of size 43 to buy and I type that keyword into the google search bar, I will get results that are tailored towards that search. So, the only listings I will see will be those related to shoes. Now, if someone –an affiliate of a shoe merchant- places an ad about the various shoes sizes, I will definitely check out his website. If I like what I see, I could decide to buy from him. Do you get the idea? To use this method well, learn how to research your keywords properly so that you won’t run at a loss.
3. Use Ezine and newsletter ads.
Most affiliate programs provide you with material that you can send as solo ad or top sponsor ads. All you need do is buy an adspace in any of the ezines that catch your fancy and have them send the offer to their subscribers. If your letter is well crafted, [people have been known to make lots of dough from this method. You could also use this method to just generate a flurry of traffic to your landing page where people will sign up for more information or an ecourse that you would have programmed your autoresponder to send out on a daily basis. In this ecourse, they’ll read the information and then go ahead to visit the recommended link (your affiliate link). That way you could also make lots of sales.
4. Distribute Viral reports.
These are reports that different people can pass on to their friends to read. All you need do is fill it with information that is extremely relevant, include your affiliate links in the reports and have give people the permission to give it away as long as the content is not tampered with. This also generates lots of results not to mention profits as it spreads like wildfire all over the internet.
5. Article Writing.
Write articles that are tailored to the products and services you intend to sell, and post on various article directories. Most article directories have categories for almost anything on the surface of the earth. From UFOs to Astrology to Wizardry to Xmas Celebrations. Write your articles; create a compelling byline with the affiliate link lading to the destination page. If you want to mask the link, you can either create a redirect or use link shrinking services such as tunyurl.com, snipurl.com, Gentleurl.com. To test how effective this method is, write just 5 articles on a topic, post in five different article directories then wait to see the results. If you are satisfied with it, then you might want to incorporate it into your overall marketing strategy

What Are The Basic Elements To Success In Affiliate Marketing?
By: Scott Bamboo
Why other people earn huge income from their affiliate marketing business and NOT me? You may ask this question over and over again if you are one of affiliate marketers who yet find your fortune in this venture. The fact is hitting the jackpot in affiliate marketing is not impossible else there won't be so many affiliate marketing millionaires, the question is: when is your turn? There is no real secret about affiliate marketing and everyone can be successful if correct techniques are being used. So, what are these powerful affiliate marketing techniques that can help you to make a success in your affiliate marketing?
In order to be successful in affiliate marketing, you need to have two important factors: Traffic & Conversion. Every day, there are so many people surfing around the internet; you need to divert some of them to your website so that they have chances to see the affiliate products that you are promoting in your website. Many affiliate marketers especially those who are new in this venture find it hard to generate enough traffic that can generate enough profit from it.
There are so many internet surfers around who are looking for information and their favorite products. Why nobody or so few of them drop by your website? The key reason is "nobody" knows the existing of your website if you are not making enough exposure and announcement about your website to the internet community. Internet traffic generation is about getting exposure so that people aware about your website, your business and know where to locate your products if they are interested to buy from you.
You can generate traffic at zero cost (passive traffic streams) or with a significant marketing budget (active traffic streams); Passive traffic streams are the free traffics from search engines and other free resources such as forums, blogs & articles. This is the most important traffics if you want to generate passive income from your affiliate marketing business. It takes time & efforts to generate these traffics but once you manage to drive traffics from free resources, the traffic stream is huge & it will keep coming in to your website because you can be easily found by internet surfers when they search for your affiliate business related keywords. Hence, you must spend your efforts and time to build a search engine's friendly website and optimize your web pages to your targeted keywords that related to your affiliate products so that your website are ranked well with these keywords.
If you need instant traffics especially for your new website which does not have good ranking yet or still at a low page rank, then pay-per-click and other paid advertisement can help to quickly generate traffic to your website, but you need to allocate your marketing budget and carefully monitor the effectiveness of conversion because if it does not convert well, you may not earn enough to cover your marketing cost.
Once you have the traffics to your website, you won't earn any penny if your traffics do not convert to sales. Hence, the conversion rate is related to the content of your website. Many affiliate marketers failed to convert their traffic mainly because they do not have sufficient contents that can gives confidence to your web visitors to click on your affiliate links or their contents are too hard sell oriented that make their visitors leave their website immediately. In order to keep your visitors at your website, you need to have related & fresh contents that your visitors are looking for. A success affiliate marketers do not hard sell their affiliate products; instead, they "Pre-Sell"/soft sell by explaining the products features, benefits, their experience of using these products and what are the feedback from those people who have purchase these products. And from there, drive your visitors to get more information by clicking your affiliate links. You need to select affiliate products that have good sales landing page because they are the one who will close the sales for you after you drive your traffic to them through your affiliate link.

A Few Easy Tips to Enhance your Online Business
By: Allen Thomason
Many people do not have their affiliate programs set up the right way and the traffic they receive is poor resulting in poor sales.
Here we provide you with some easy to follow tips that will help you to enhance your online business and make a profit from it:-
You must Encourage the internet users who visit you to sign up for your program: This is main area where most people fail. They do not push their product adequately and they usually don't understand exactly what they need to do. What they should not be doing when they set up an affiliate program is that should not simply provide a link that says "click here to sign up".
You must understand that that is not enough to entice the user.
You need to hard sell your affiliate program. In order to hard sell your program you need to try to have a sales letter that explains to the users the benefits of signing up. You also need to tell them about their commissions and also how they can earn a living without having to create a product or service and by just having a web site and just by promoting your products.
You also need to give your affiliates marketing materials and resources to help them.
You need to provide your affiliates with marketing materials: Another important tip that you should follow. Site owners usually get users to sign up for their affiliate program and then just leave them to fight it out on their own. If you want to start earning big bucks, you need to do all the hard work or at least a good bit of it for your affiliates.
You need to provide your affiliate with email promotions, press releases, pay per click ads, banner ads and anything else that you can create which will enable people to promote your site to the masses with as little work as possible.
You also need to encourage them to become positive, the more work you do for them the more commission they will earn. Ultimately they work harder for you as it's now easy for them.
You should have an Affiliate Only Newsletter: Have an email list of only your affiliate and each week you should send out a mini blueprint on how they can market your products in order to earn a commission.
Keep them informed about new products that you've just launched or the new marketing materials that you've just added to your affiliate's area. Remember that doing so will not only make them feel like they are a part of the program but it will also be beneficial you in the long run because once they sell a few of your products; they will be enthusiastic about the idea of promoting all your products.
You can also start having a weekly completion. Each week the affiliate who earns the most gets some extra cash as prize money or whatever you want to give. Mention the winner in each week's news letter. Doing so will provide the much needed mental motivational push to your affiliates.
Psychologically you are motivating your affiliates and at the same time you promote your products like crazy to get recognition as being your "top gun". Ego trips are as motivating as money.
To sum up you need to :-
1. Encourage users to Sign Up
2. Provide your affiliates with marketing materials
3. Have an Affiliate Only Newsletter
Try this and you'll ultimately be able to create a hugely successful affiliate program and sell a truckload of your products without any real hard work or any costs.

How to Start Your Own Affiliate Program
By: Aurelius Tjin
If you have the intention of creating a product, it will be best to include among your strategies, effective marketing techniques that will quickly get word about your products and services out and all over the internet. An effective way of doing this is creating an affiliate program where, for a commission, people can help you advertise your products and services. You do not have to pay them until they make a sale for you.
There are quite a few ways you can go about creating an affiliate program. Quite a few internet marketers use third party payment processors. These are websites that stand as a go-between for merchants and prospective clients. You could either decide to let these websites do the setting up of your affiliate program for you in the sense that all they would do is list your products under the list of products that can be promoted by affiliates, they manage and track all transactions, and make the payouts. All you get at the end of a month is the amount of money after your affiliates have been paid.
The reason this approach is good is because the marketer has saved a lot of stress and can go ahead to face the building of his business instead of spending countless hours processing orders, and sending the customers their products and services. But if you decide you want to go it alone, there are various ways you can create your own affiliate program.
1. Create a webpage for the affiliates. This webpage is separate from the main sales page. In this page, you’ll have to tell them why they should sell your products and not those of many other people. In most cases, including how much you are willing to part with per sale is usually good enough. The rounds making the internet now is if the commission is less than 50%, avoid it like a plague. I have personally seen commissions in the excess of 70%. Usually, most affiliates do not go beyond this stage. Once they’ve seen how much you are willing to offer them, they make up their minds on whether to promote your products or not. Notwithstanding, create a page outlining all the benefits of selling your products. Most experienced marketers know that it is not just the selling that matters. The quality of the product is also highly essential.
2. Create various tools of marketing. Create email ads that have been tested and proven reliable and highly converting, create solo ads templates, ezine ads templates. This cuts the learning curve drastically. So, instead of the affiliate marketer having to come up with his own email ad, you’d have created it for him. So, all he does is copy and paste, and he’s ready to blast his ads.
3. Create Banners and text link ads. Hire a graphic designer to create your banners for you. While it’s been recently stated that banner ads don’t do well, some have been converting well. Those banners known to convert well are those that are pleasing to the eye, and not placed in an intrusive position on the webpage.
4. Create a list of keywords your affiliates can bid on if they want to use pay per click ads. Do as much keyword research as possible. Gather as many keywords that are relevant as possible. Many merchants just look for any keyword regardless of its relevance and put them in a list. This method is wrong. Why? Because if you have a newbie who just wants to make money, he might believe all the research has been done for him. So, he goes ahead to use the untargeted keywords. What occurs in summary is he loses money and makes up his mind to never promote your products again. Get the picture now? You want to build a team; not a set of loosely coordinated fellows.
5. Create a resources area for those want to learn. Include links to both free and paid resources they could learn from. Offer tips and tricks that could help boost sales and overall results.
If you have the intention of creating a product, it will be best to include among your strategies, effective marketing techniques that will quickly get word about your products and services out and all over the internet. An effective way of doing this is creating an affiliate program where, for a commission, people can help you advertise your products and services. You do not have to pay them until they make a sale for you.
There are quite a few ways you can go about creating an affiliate program. Quite a few internet marketers use third party payment processors. These are websites that stand as a go-between for merchants and prospective clients. You could either decide to let these websites do the setting up of your affiliate program for you in the sense that all they would do is list your products under the list of products that can be promoted by affiliates, they manage and track all transactions, and make the payouts. All you get at the end of a month is the amount of money after your affiliates have been paid.
The reason this approach is good is because the marketer has saved a lot of stress and can go ahead to face the building of his business instead of spending countless hours processing orders, and sending the customers their products and services. But if you decide you want to go it alone, there are various ways you can create your own affiliate program.
1. Create a webpage for the affiliates. This webpage is separate from the main sales page. In this page, you’ll have to tell them why they should sell your products and not those of many other people. In most cases, including how much you are willing to part with per sale is usually good enough. The rounds making the internet now is if the commission is less than 50%, avoid it like a plague. I have personally seen commissions in the excess of 70%. Usually, most affiliates do not go beyond this stage. Once they’ve seen how much you are willing to offer them, they make up their minds on whether to promote your products or not. Notwithstanding, create a page outlining all the benefits of selling your products. Most experienced marketers know that it is not just the selling that matters. The quality of the product is also highly essential.
2. Create various tools of marketing. Create email ads that have been tested and proven reliable and highly converting, create solo ads templates, ezine ads templates. This cuts the learning curve drastically. So, instead of the affiliate marketer having to come up with his own email ad, you’d have created it for him. So, all he does is copy and paste, and he’s ready to blast his ads.
