How to use guerrilla marketing to sell affiliate products

May 29, 2008 in Internet Marketing

What is guerrilla marketing? Guerrilla marketing is selling your products through non conventional methods on a very tight budget. It focuses on time, energy and imagination rather than a endless marketing budget.

When anyone mentions internet marketing the common tendency is to focus on the big search engines and pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords. These methods are great if you have the cash to invest and the experience. But what if you are just starting out selling affiliate products. You cannot afford to start throwing money at Google to get instant traffic from sponsored links, it is too higher risk. This is where guerrilla marketing comes in.

If you are going to succeed with guerrilla marketing you need to forget about the conventional marketing psychology. Focus on time and energy rather than spending your cash. Most guerrilla marketing tactics are free, your major investment is time.

You need to think about building trust with your customers and maximizing sales from existing customers and referrals rather than just trying to get new customers. It is much easier to sell a new product to an existing customer as opposed to going out trying to find new customers. You have already built up the trust between you and your existing customers, use this to your advantage.

With guerrilla marketing you need to measure your business and your success by looking at your profit not your sales. If you blow $1000 with Google Adwords and make 12 sales each at $100, you will have $200 profit. Using guerrilla marketing tactics you could sell only 3 products at $100 and you will have made more profit. That is 75% less sales to make 50% more profit. I know this sounds simple but most businesses overlook this powerful resource.

How can you use guerrilla marketing to sell affiliate products? In the internet world guerrilla marketing is everywhere, you will have seen it, you may have purchased products advertised in this way and never realized it.

Most common methods of guerrilla marketing are things that can be incorporated into your daily routine. Such as posting comments on relevant forums and blogs that include a link to your webpage. Creating videos and leaving comments on other peoples videos on sites such as YouTube. Social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook.

Take forums and blogs for example, you can find people who have a problem or a itch they need to scratch. If your product fixes their problem you can recommend it to them. However you have to take care with this, you cannot simply spam the forums with comments saying buy my product. There has to be something in it for them, you can offer a free bonus such as a ebook or a report. You need to add value, something to entice them in.

The key behind guerrilla marketing is to get low amounts of highly targeted traffic. 100 visitors who are interested in your product are better than 2000 non targeted visitors where 90% of them leave straight away.

Start thinking guerrilla marketing right now, look around the web see if you can spot it in action.

I wish you the best of success

The 3 types of affiliate traffic and how you can use them

May 26, 2008 in Start Your Profits Today

Where does traffic come from? Whether you have just started to think about affiliate marketing or already have your own website or blog you need to outline where you are going to get your traffic from. What are the options you can use to get traffic into your website?

Pay for it

You can buy traffic, the most common way is to use what is known as Pay Per Click or PPC advertising. One of the most popular types of this is Google Adwords, these are the sponsored links you see on googles search result pages.

You create a short advert, about 150 characters. Define a list of keywords. Setup a maximum bid and a daily budget. When somebody searches for one of your chosen keywords your advert will appear in the sponsored listings, when somebody clicks on your advert Google will charge you.

The cost per click and the position of your advert depend on 2 factors, 1. How much are you willing to pay for each click or each visitor. 2. How relevant your advert is to your webpage. For example if you are selling widgets, your webpage must contain lots of references to widgets, your advert must contain widgets and you must have widgets in your keywords.

Borrow it

This is for those who are more advanced at affiliate marketing and have their own product to sell. You can borrow traffic from existing successful affiliate marketers. If you have a product that would compliment their product or that diverges into a slightly different niche you can try and get a joint partnership or a JP as its sometimes known.

How can you do this? You can offer to feature the other marketer on your website if they do the same. You can write reviews on their product and give customers a bonus if they buy a product from you. The idea behind joint ventures is that you instantly have access to a new customer base and together both partners can make more cash.

Create it

You can create your own traffic? This method is free but takes time. There are hundreds perhaps thousands of different ways you can create your own traffic. I will run you through 2 of my preferred methods.

1. Articles, just like this one. You can write articles on your chosen niche or product and submit them to article directories on the web. These articles can contain a signature field that lets the reader take further steps and learn more about your product or the subject matter you are writing about. The single most important benefit of articles is that they exist forever, if you write good, popular articles they will keep bringing traffic to your site day after day, year after year.

2. Videos are the next big thing. 50% of all web traffic is video content. YouTube alone gets 12% of all the traffic on the web. Wow. Thats a lot of visitors. How can you harness this power. Simply create videos, now I know you dont have a film studio at home and you dont need to. You can use a webcam on your computer or a digital video camera if you have one. You dont even need to video yourself you can video your computer screen as you take the viewer on a trip into what ever your chosen subject is. You can show them existing websites, how to use products and why you recommend certain resources.

Thats it, these are the 3 ways you can get traffic to your website. To take the next step and learn more into the world of Affiliate Marketing visit GetAffilaiteMillionsNow.com. You will get step by step videos showing you how to get traffic and start making money from the internet. What are you waiting for.

The big search engine myth, why you dont need Google

May 26, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, How To Get Traffic

When you take your first steps out into the world of affiliate marketing it is all too easy to get over obsessed and brain washed by the search engines. All you hear is people talking about the top position on google and the first page on yahoo, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SEM (Search Engine Marketing), PPC (Pay Per Click), Sponsored, Natural, Organic and lots of other fancy words and acronyms. Its enough to drive a perfectly sane person crazy.

If you search google for Affiliate Marketing you get almost 15 million search results. Yes thats right, 15 million different webpages all trying to compete for that golden nugget called 1st place.

The Times Newspaper in the UK ran a article about Google in comparison to the other search engines and came up with some interesting information. Out of all the searches performed each day on the web Google is used for approximately 70% with Yahoo following a very distant second. So Google is definitely the king of the castle.

If you manage to get your webpage on to page 2 of google; which lets face it is pretty good and takes a lot of work, you will only receive 1% of the search traffic. What does this mean? For every 100 people who search for a given keyword in google only 1 of them will look at page 2. The other 99 do not get past the first page.

So if you are not on page 1 of Google you are not going to get massive amounts of visitors, thats the cold hard truth. The problem with this is that getting to the first page of Google takes a lot of time, hard work, experience and skill nor does it happen overnight.

Now the good news. You don’t need Google. Yes thats right I am telling you to discard the biggest traffic source on the web. but why? There are thousands of other ways to get traffic to your affiliate website.

I would recommend that you start building your traffic in different ways. Some of the most popular and successful include the following.

- Write articles like this one and submit them to article directories.

- Produce videos and upload them to YouTube and other videos sharing sites.

- Use forums and bulletin boards put your web link in your signature.

- Try social networks such as Facebook and Myspace.

- Put you website in the signature of emails you send.

- Press releases and other offline traffic.

You are better investing your time in these other methods rather than spending every minute of your free time, trying to calculate why your website is not yet on the first page of Google. You can start the above traffic methods quickly and some of them will give you instant visitors to your website.

A final twist, the days of writing code and meta data to get your website to the top of Google have long gone. Google like any business want to give its customers the best service, so when you use google to search for a given subject they want to provide you with the best and most accurate results.

Google now uses page rank, this is essentially a measure of how popular a website is. Google measures popularity based on how many other websites link to your own and how relevant the content on your site is. For example if you have a health and fitness website and have lots of articles about health and fitness distributed around the web Google is going to start taking notice you will slowly start to move up the search engines.

I realize the irony, I started of telling you to ignore the big search engines yet we end up here with them at the end. The only difference is that by using this method you get traffic and make money along the way. You are not sat there waiting for your site to hit the first page of google, while your bank account remains dry.

Now you know the alternate ways to get traffic check out GetAffiliateMillionsNow.com. This is a video step by step guide how to use techniques like this one, along with everything you need to start making money online.

I wish you the best of success.

A beginners guide to the world of affiliate marketing

May 23, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

You have no doubt heard about people who are raking it in on the internet. They have given up their day job and are some how making money from the internet. Perhaps you know someone who is already living the internet lifestyle or maybe you know someone who knows someone. You get the picture, it sounds ideal doesn’t it, no more 9 till 5, no more commuting, work from home, take long vacations, the benefits go on and on.

How are they doing this? Well more importantly, how can you do this? Yes you. You can do this and yes you can start making money from the internet. Let me introduce you to affiliate marketing.

What is affiliate marketing?

The basic idea behind affiliate marketing is that you sell somebody’s product and they pay you a commission. The more products you sell the more money you make. But you dont have to sell just one affiliate product, you can sell as many different affiliate products as you want.

What kind of products and how much commission?

The range of affiliate products is huge, there are simply thousands and thousands of products out there available for you to sell. These products include e-books, reports, videos, MP3 audio, teaching programs and courses the list goes on and on. They are available in practically every niche you can think of whether its videos about advertising on Google or e-books about health and fitness.

The best idea for choosing affiliate products is to start with something that you have a interest in. If you a health and fitness expert then you will be able to find affiliate marketing products in the health ad fitness niche. You don’t have to be an expert, you just need to have an interest in what you are going to sell. It is difficult to get motivated about something you dont like.

The commission you get paid depends on the type of affiliate product you are selling but typically around 50% is common. This means that if you sell a $37 e-book on dieting you may make around $19 for each one sold. On the other end of the scale if you sell a $1500 online coaching program you would make a hansom $750.

How do I get paid?

When you find the affiliate product you are interested in selling you join their affiliate program, they will give you an affiliate link. This link goes to the website for the affiliate product and records that the visitor came from you. If that visitor buys the product you get paid your commission. The top affiliate marketing products will also supply you with pre-written information about the product such as benefits and features, reviews, reports, interviews, emails, banner ads, you name it. It is in their interest to help you sell as many products as you can.

To receive these commissions you setup a online payment system on the internet, these act as mini bank accounts online that you can setup very quickly. These bank accounts will hold you commissions until you request them, they will then electronically transfer the cash to real life bank account or even send you a cheque.

To kick start your affiliate earnings check out GetAffiliateMillionsNow.com for a step by step video guide to making big money from affiliate marketing.

I wish you the best of success in your new internet lifestyle.

The secret affiliate marketing money making formula

May 23, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

In the affiliate marketing world and in fact any other internet marketing niche, there is a simple formula that will start making you money instantly. Now I dont want you to start worrying about those complex formulas you came across at high school in physics, maths and chemistry this one is nice and easy.

The formula is drum roll please…

W + T + C = $

Yes thats it, I wish you the best of success…

What? You want more? But I have given you the formula.

You may not believe it but many of the affiliate programs and systems out there do just that, they leave the important bits out. Im not going to do the same so lets expand the formula.

W is for Website.

You need a website to start making money from the internet. I know you may have heard you can make money from the internet without one, but trust me to start making lots of cash you need one.

The type of website you need will depend largely on the type of product you are trying to sell. If you are trying to sell your own product or a single product you need a webpage focused on that one product. This style of website usually has a main sales page. You will have seen them, those long pages that show you the product, how it works and shows you testimonials from people who have had success with it. The reason these long sales pages exist is because they work.

If you are selling a number of affiliate products you are better with a blog. A blog is a website that is designed to be updated much more regularly, your visitors can leave comments and feedback so the website process is much more interactive. These blogs are great when you are selling multiple products in a certain niche.

T is for Traffic

You need traffic, what is traffic? No not that stuff you get stuck in every morning when you go to work, website traffic. Traffic is the visitors who come to your site. These are the people who are interested in your products all you have to do is convert them.

How do I get traffic? There are thousands of ways out there on the internet to get traffic. The most obvious way is the search engines but this is not easy so I wouldnt recommend it as a stating point. Writing articles, reports, reviews and case studies are some of the main ways you can start building traffic. A second option is to use forums and chat sites and recommend you product to relevant customers.

C is for Content

What is content? Content is everything that you put on your webpage. It can be product information, benefits and features, case studies, reviews, testimonials literally anything.

The key thing with content is to make it captivate the visitor, they have to be able to learn from you, be interested in you, be entertained by you etc etc. Essentially you have to give you visitors some reason to stay, you cannot simply create a load of poor content and expect people to buy your products.

You can have the best website design and hosting in the world, a million hits a day. But if you have just a few pieces of crappy content you will not make money.

If you have a website, traffic and content then you will start to make $. If you have any one of these elements missing you will fail. Each part is equally important. If you want to take the next step and turn that $ into $$$$s check out GetAffiliateMillionsNow.com

I wish you the best of success.

How to Create Highly Profitable Blogs

May 23, 2008 in Internet Marketing

Think you can’t make much money from just a blog?

Think again!

Rob Benwell has come out from “underground” to blow the lid off
the blogging world.

It seems he’s been quietly making as much as $34,244 per MONTH
from just a few hours work.

And for a limited time, Rob is going to let you “steal” his
methods to give yourself an unfair advantage over your
competition!

Rob is just 22 years old, yet he has a $600,000 house and three
very cool cars, as well as many other “toys.”

Click here to see photos of his cars…

http://makeeasyca.bttb1.hop.clickbank.net

And Rob’s blogs continue to crank out cash, even when he’s not
paying any attention to them.

Earlier this year he went on a luxury holiday to a 5 star resort,
while his blogs continued to crank out thousands of dollars on
autopilot.

Rob started with just a hundred bucks, yet he’s turned it into
huge wealth, and you can do the same when you know his methods
and system.

Recently he decided to test his methods against the latest
blogging software program that everyone is raving about… and
his blogs won the competition hands down by making MORE money
both in the short term and the long term.

Yet his system isn’t going to cost you even a small fortune to
learn!

http://makeeasyca.bttb1.hop.clickbank.net

There is no easier way to get started online than by blogging.

And thanks to Rob’s course, it’s now also a very LUCRATIVE way to
get started, or even add additional income streams to your
current business.

All the best,

Have You Found The Beef?

May 23, 2008 in Internet Marketing

Are you old enough to remember the 70’s?

There was a little old lady on TV commercials demanding to know,
“WHERE’S THE BEEF?”

She became a national icon.

Everyone was using her catch phrase to ask where the good stuff was hiding.

Well, there are a LOT of would-be entrepreneurs on the Internet who want to know, “Where’s the Beef?”

We keep hearing about these extraordinary Internet incomes…

…so why are there so many people who haven’t achieved them yet?

Maybe they’re looking in the wrong place.

Following the herd is NOT the way to go to find the money online.

The beef is out there, alright, but it’s hidden all over the
Internet…

…in NICHES.

Weird niches. Odd niches. Tiny niches. Niches no marketer has effectively touched yet. Niches ripe for the picking.

And do you know how many niches like this there are?

And how many new ones are being created DAILY?

There are literally hundreds and thousands just waiting to be tapped.

So how do you FIND these niches, and how much money can you make?

I’ve found someone who KNOWS, and is willing to spill his guts to you.

His name is Joe, and he’s made $214,000 in just the last TWO MONTHS alone using his marketing techniques with these small niches.

http://makeeasca.ajmarketer.hop.clickbank.net

His very first niche pulled in $68,000 just from natural traffic, and that’s when he was only beginning to discover the marketing system he uses now.

That same site is still raking in money year after year.

And the niche is…

well…

you’re probably not going to believe this but…

the niche is…

…carpet cleaning!

He’s since gone on to discover other even more profitable niches that are also paying him month in and month out.

And you can too, when you know the secrets of…

Exactly How To Attack Any Niche Of YOUR Choice…

How to Profit Within Days…

And How to Explode Your Initial Income into the World of the Ridiculous

(The proof is on his site)

http://makeeasca.ajmarketer.hop.clickbank.net

Mark Voce

P.S. Suppose all you ever did online was choose ONE niche like Joe’s first niche (carpet cleaning) and make a solid five figure income from it every year.

What could that extra money do for you?

How to find the best affiliate products to sell

May 22, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

There are thousands of affiliate products out there covering every topic and niche you can possible think of. They come in many different flavors, e-books, reports, videos, coaching programs, training systems, the list goes on and on. For each of these affiliate products there are tens, hundreds and in some case thousands of people just like you trying to sell them.

But with so much diversity and choice how do you which products are the best. By this I mean which ones will sell more easily, make you the greatest commissions and raise your profile in the internet marketing circle.

The first thing you need is a idea, what are you passionate about maybe you have a keen interest in health and fitness or you enjoy taking photographs. Maybe you are an expert in internet marketing. Find a niche that you know something about, you need to be able to write about it and educate others.

Now dont panic, you do not have to be an expert on your chosen niche, you just need to know something about it. Chances are that you will already know more than 99% of the people out there.

Where is the best place to start? We need to first establish if your chosen niche or subject is suitable for affiliate marketing. To do this simply follow these 3 steps.

Step 1 - Use Google

Google is a great reference to how competitive a niche is and how many people advertise in it. If you open Google in your browser and search for, lets say health and fitness. You will get pages and pages of results, however we are interested in the sponsored results. This are shown on the right hand side of the search results and sometimes in a purple box above the natural or organic results.

Companies and individuals have to pay for sponsored adverts so this is a good indication if your niche is going to profitable. The more sponsored links the better as more people want a slice of the action. You are better choosing a overcrowded niche than a quiet one. You know this is popular it is easier to try and sell into a competitive niche rather than be a pioneer with a new product and a untested niche.

Step 2 - DMOZ.org

DMOZ.org is a huge directory of the web. We are going to use DMOZ to find out if there are any forums and chat sites for you chosen niche. I have found the best way to do this is to find your chosen niche using the links on the homepage and then look for the Resources option in the list. You can then breakdown this again and find chats and forums. It can take a little time to get used to, but if there are forums for niche you should find them here. Forums offer a good marketing opportunity that I will be covering in another article.

Step 3 - Find the products

I use two ways to fid the products now that I have identified that my niche is competitive and that there are forums and chat rooms where people go to discuss and advise each other.

Method 1 - Go back to Google and search for your niche + affiliate product or + affiliate opportunity. It depends very much on your niche but this can lead to good results.

Method 2 - Go to Clickbank.com and click on the Marketplace. You can now search in your chosen niche and you will be given a list of products that are available for you to sell. Each product includes a link to the sellers homepage, the cost of the product and the amount of commission you can receive for each sale and most important of all the gravity score. This is basically how good the product it, the higher the score the better, this signifies a good commission rate and a high rate of conversions. A conversion is when a visitor goes to the sellers site and buys the product.

We have run through the 3 basic steps that will help you to find the best affiliate products. If you want to take your affiliate marketing to the next step get the step by step video course at GetAffiliateMillionsNow.com.

I wish you the best of success.

The 4 Step System the Pros Dont Want You To Know About Selling Affiliate Products

May 22, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

Ever wonder why the pros and gurus get the maximum amount of sales with what seems like little effort. It does not matter what type of affiliate product you are selling, this technique can be used to sell pretty much anything. It has been used by the best in the business and I will now share this with you.

The system is called the 4 Ps.

The 1st P = Pain

Pain, this is the primary driving force behind a customer buying your product. They are in pain and they need your help. They have a itch and they need you scratch it, not literally. I dont think you will make much money traveling around scratching peoples itches.

The best examples of this are affiliate marketing and internet marketing products. There are thousands of products out there for instance so if someone is struggling with making money from the internet and you have a product that can take them step by step on a path to internet success you have a solution to their problem.

A more common everyday example is a kitchen cleaner, the problem or the pain is that the customer needs to clean a work surface or a kitchen appliance. You have a excellent new cleaning product that will do this for them. You have the perfect product to remove the pain.

The 2nd P = Process

Process, This is how your product will help to solve the customers pain. In the example above about the kitchen cleaner the process would be how your product can remove all dirt and stains and leave the cleaned object looking like new. Essentially you have to explain to the customer how you can solve there problem.

To do this you need to supply the potential customer with information, the most popular and successful methods are informative product descriptions, features, benefits, reports, presentations, step by step guides etc. The exact type of communication method depends on what you are selling and how your competition are doing it.

The 3rd P = Proof

Proof, OK, you have identified the customers pain, they have read your sales literature but they are still skeptical. It is our human nature to question everything and believe nothing until it has been proven to us.

How do you prove to the customer your product will work and do everything that they wish. The best way is to provide case studies, reviews and testimonials from your existing customers. Nothing sells a product better than a review, just look at all the giant electronics websites out there. They all have reviews of products and star ratings that have been left by existing customers. This is the single best piece of proof you can get, it reassures the customer that somebody else had the same pain they did and this product has removed it.

The 4th P = Profit

Profit, If you can follow steps 1 to 3 you will make profit. Its as easy as that.

The 4 P system allows you to maximize your affiliate sales, you can apply it to virtually any product in any market niche. If you want more tips and secrets go to GetAffiliateMillionsNow.com and you can learn the tricks of the trade that will earn you serious money from the internet.

I wish you the best of success.

Why most affiliate marketing products don’t work

May 22, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

We have all seen them, these amazing affiliate products, programs and systems that advertise you can make huge amounts of cash from little or no work all in extra quick time. It all sounds great doesn’t it. The reality is this, affiliate marketing is not easy, if it was everyone would being doing it. Affiliate Marketing is like any other business it requires work. That work however maybe be very different and often much easier than the work you are currently doing but it is not a overnight success story in a box.

You might be completely new to field of affiliate marketing or you may have tried a few things before but never got the return that seemed possible at the outset. I’ll be straight with you, you have been lied to.

Many of the affiliate marketing systems out there are missing vital elements. The 2 most common missed out parts are traffic and time. Without these your affiliate business will not succeed.

Traffic

I see countless products and even fallen victim to some of them myself that offer you a program or a guide to make money from the internet. They will show you how to build and host your website, how to get the affiliate products to sell, how to setup the electronic payment systems etc etc. The end result is you get a nice flashy website with nice affiliate products to sell, but you are missing one vital thing, Traffic. If you have no visitors to your website you are not going to make any money. Visitors don’t just find your website after it has been launched.

“You are now setup and all you need to do is drive traffic to your site” seems to be a common statement with some of these affiliate marketing products. Thats great, just one question. HOW? Traffic is the hardest part of launching a new website. There are thousands of ways to get traffic some cost money, some are free, some take time, some are instant. But out of these thousands of different methods some reign supreme, although it does depend on the product you are selling. The best affiliate programs will show you how to get targeted traffic.

Time

As I mentioned earlier all business require you to invest time and affiliate marketing is no different. Too many of the affiliate marketing systems seem to neglect this, similar to the traffic problem. The upshot is this, you have to invest time to make money from affiliate marketing. The majority of time is not spent creating and setting up websites it is invested into producing content. This content can take many forms, I am investing my time writing this article. You can produce videos, MP3s, e-books, blogs the list goes on and on, but you have to invest your time to get traffic. This is where these two points link. You need to remember this, You have to invest time to get the traffic. You can have the best website in the world but if you have no traffic you wont make a dime.
