Michael Rasmussen’s “Mini Site Profits Exposed” Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

Jun 24, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, Internet Marketing

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini
sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money
online. They don’t require a lot of time, energy, or
money to set up, and once you’ve got one up and
running, you can sit back and just collect money from
all the sales you’re making.

At least… that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON’T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is…

*************************************************
YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here’s what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he’ll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you’ve been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I’ll tell you more
about that later. First, let’s talk about the videos
themselves.

If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It’s important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you’ll
agree that he has succeeded.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You’ll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it’s structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn’t come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he’s talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he’s willing to relax, and trust that what you’re
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it’s important to
pay close attention to this one.

You’ll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is ’squeeze pages’. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you’ll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you ‘take action’ on. You’ll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you’ll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as…

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You’ll learn how to create
the “secret structure” of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you’ll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people’s shoulders, so
they’ll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your ‘call to action’, and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who over delivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFO PRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is… once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO “GROW” YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective ‘upselling’ techniques that I’ve ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the ’size’ of
your orders. You’ll learn:

* The psychology of ‘upselling’, and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He’ll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you’ve been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you’ve already got a mini site that’s up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these ‘plug and profit’
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it’s that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you’ve ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you’re going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let’s face it… it’s not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don’t have to. You’ll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover… and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this ‘instant fix’.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it’s not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There’s a lot more to it than you’d think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it’s own video.

After watching this video, you’ll understand why you
can’t just have a single front end product, and you’ll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you… completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You’ll learn
all of Michael’s secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let’s face it, you can’t be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it’s really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let’s face it… it doesn’t matter how great your
mini site is if you don’t get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don’t get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you’ll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you’re done with this video, you’ll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you’re out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He’ll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he’ll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You’ll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You’ll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you’ll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************

drive traffic to your site, it’s hard to know what you

seen before, so you’ll want to pay extra close
attention to this one.

Think about it… if you’re going to put the time in,
and set up a mini site the proper way (like Michael
shows you in these videos), then it only makes sense
that you’d want to make the most amount of money
possible from it.

In this video, you’ll learn:

- How changing one sentence on your mini site could
double your profits easily.

- How to instantly increase the dollar amount of your
average order (which puts more money into your

that will instantly increase your income (with no

What type of website do you need to sell affiliate products

Jun 09, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

You may have found the best affiliate product, paying big commissions but what is the next step. How do you start selling your affiliate products and making cash from the internet. Thats easy, you need your own website.

You will have seen thousands of different webpages that all do different things, some sell to you, some inform you, some entertain you. No doubt you will have seen lots you like and probably many you do not like. But what type website do you need to sell affiliate products. You will perhaps be relieved to know that there are only two main designs that you can use to sell your new affiliate products and services. These are blogs and sales websites.

Blogs

The best way to think of a blog is a website that is updated frequently, every hour, every day, or at worse once a week. If you are thinking of selling multiple affiliate products in the same niche then a blog is you bet choice. The key thing is that all the products and content relate to the same niche, you can sell multiple products and have lots of content about health and fitness but do not combine these with an internet marketing product. You need to look like the expert in your field.

Blogs are quickly becoming more and more popular as they encourage visitors to interact with your website, a visitor can leave their comments about your content and products. Their feedback can be a really important part of selling affiliate products, if a visitor sees comments from other visitors saying how good a product is it will help convince them that this product is for them.

Your blog needs to updated regularly you need to have lots of content, this content can be articles like this one, reviews about your products, product comparisons, case studies, testimonials, videos the list goes on and on. One of the best methods is to produce content based on your experiences, how did you buy the product, how was it to use, what did it do for you. If you have any negative comments include these maybe some of the videos are too long or the webpage is slow to load. Visitors will take you more seriously if they think your telling the truth, they know that every product is not perfect.

Sales Webpage

If you have your own product to sell or are going to focus on one single product you need a website dedicated just to this. This approach will not work for just any product, if you trying to sell a $15 ebook you are probably better of selling that through a blog, If the product costs upward of $50 then you maybe better investing your time and crating a dedicated sales webpage.

You will have no doubt already seen these sales style sites, they typically have a long sales letter on the homepage, with big headlines, lots of product information, testimonials from existing users and finally the special offer price. Too many people dismiss this style of webpage before they actually try it. The truth of the matter is that these long sales pages work.

So what does your long sales letter have to contain. These are the main points you need to cover.

1. A good headline to draw people it.
2. A great story about the product.
3. A list of benefits of the product.
4. Testimonials from existing customers.
5. What the product costs.
6. Free Bonuses.
7. How you can get the product.

Once you have got your website you are one step closer to making money from the internet.

I wish you the best of success.

Affiliate Marketing, the 3 essential resources you need

Jun 09, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing

You have found a great affiliate product you want to sell, you have identified the niche to sell into. So, what do you need to start making money from affiliate marketing. What resources are so important you cannot do without them.

1. A Website

The first thing you need is a website, there are ways you can sell some affiliate products without one but if you want to make a regular income you need a good website. The style of website you need will depend on the type of product or products you are selling. The two main types of website you can use to sell affiliate products, blogs and sales style website.

Blogs are a ideal choice if you are going to sell multiple products into the same niche. You can crate regular posts and constantly add new content. You can fill your blog with articles, reviews, testimonials and your experience with the product in question. If you are going to sell multiple products through your blog make sure they all fit into the same niche. You cannot sell affiliate marketing products and dieting courses on the same blog.

If you want to sell just one product you are better with a site dedicated to just that one product, we have all seen those long webpages or sales letters that contain big headlines, features, benefits and testimonials. The reason these sales pages exist is because they work, they convert visitors into customers. A good sales page must cover what you product does, how it can help the visitor, how easy it is to use and testimonials from existing customers.

2. Tracking Software

When you start getting visitors through into your site you need to know where they came from. Using tracking software you can determine how you visitors came to your website. This is really important as it will let you now which of your traffic sources and marketing methods are giving you the best responses. Using this data you can then spend more time working on getting visitors from the most successful places.

Other features of tracking software allow you to track the geographical location of the visitor, which pages they viewed on your site, how long they spent there etc. You can even see some really cool stats such as the visitors operating system, web browser, screen resolution, speed of connection etc etc. This is info can be really useful if you are running location based campaigns. The more technical is used a lot by web designers so they can design websites that can be viewed by the maximum amount of visitors.

3. Auto Responder

A auto responder is a web based program that lets you create a mailing list. A list is one of the most important things you can do to start making big cash online. A list makes you money in two different ways.

(1.) When a somebody buys your affiliate product they are added to your list, this means you can send them emails on new products that would be relevant to them. A customer who has already bought one of your products will trust you and understand that you have their interests at heart.

(2.) When a new visitor comes to your site you need to capture their name and email address so that you can email them with product recommendations, newsletters etc. However the days of just putting a box on your website asking for details have long gone. You have to give something away to entice the visitor to join your list, you can give away a free ebook, report, mp3 audio, video etc. Essentially you have to give them something for nothing. The more you can give them the more likely the chances of buying your products.

I wish you the best of success.

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 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.
