1. Thanks for being a great business model for the the little guy. You do not have to be a big shot Internet marketer to make money as an affiliate marketer.

2. You will not be discriminated against. Men and women both do equally well. Race does not matter. Education level does not matter either.

Where you live and your current income will not hold you back from making as much money as you want. There are success stories of all kinds of people from all kinds of different background succeeding.

3. Thanks for making it possible to get started without needing to build a website. I do not know html coding and I do not want to learn.

4. I love all of the marketing materials the top affiliate merchants provide. The banners are great and eye appealing. So are the videos many merchants provide.

I love the email ready text I can promote with. Pre-written solo and text ads are great as well. Not needing to be an expert at creating advertising material is a big help.

5. The money is great. So are all of the different ways to get paid. I see people using Google AdSense and that is really easy.

I know of people making $1 Million dollars a year with cost per action programs. That is hard to believe, but it is true.

There sure are a lot of great ways to sell products and make money online. ClickBank has made affiliates all over the world money selling digital information.

Physical products are a hot way to make money and there is a never ending supply of opportunities. I guess this makes sense because so many people purchase things online and that continues to grow all of the time.

Residual income programs make for excellent recurring pay days. Getting paid over and over for making one sale is something we all could stand to do a little more of.

6. I like the 2 tier affiliate programs as well. It is nice to get a check every month on the sales of people I recruit.

7. Instant commissions programs are a lot of fun. It is great to see money go into your PayPal account the minute you make a sale. It sure helps with cash flow and you never get tired of seeing your PayPal account grow instantly after a sale is made.

These are just some of the things I like about affiliate marketing. If you are not making money as an affiliate you should give it a try. You will thank me and you will thank the affiliate merchant some day as well.

The first thing to understand about affiliate marketing when you start out is that, despite all of the hype, it’s not necessarily a road paved with gold. For the new marketer there are a bewildering number sites offering this fantastic way of earning a lot of money in a very short space of time, and to a degree they’re absolutely right. It’s very possible to earn considerable sums. However to do this is not always as easy as it sounds. The experienced marketer relies on a number of devices to maximise his return on his investment.

Let’s look at a few of these.

The first thing that you’re going to need is a website. If you’re selling a physical product, then it’s a must. Potential customers will want to look at what you are selling. They’ll want to make comparisons, look at color, check availability etc. They’ll want to be able to order it directly from your website. It’s needs to be user friendly and professional. It has to be interesting and appealing enough to persuade the buyer to stay around to see what’s on offer. However, this doesn’t mean that they’re going to buy. In fact, most surfers are only looking for information, so you have to make sure that you’ve a lot of content that’s relevant, and most importantly, accurate. So how does this help you to sell? Google loves content. Most of all it wants it original and informative. What this does is improve your ranking with the search engines. The better the ranking, the higher you’re going to appear on the Google pages. The aim, of course is to get to the top of page one. The higher you are, the more chance you have of selling your product or service, but you won’t get there without a lot of hard work.

How are you going to make this happen?

You need to be popular. This means that you have to provide incentives to make people visit your site. Start an e-zine or a newsletter. If you can provide the latest information on popular products people will want to hear about it. Tell them about what you’re doing. Surfers like to identify with real people rather than a faceless company. Use lots of images with plenty of information about the product. Start a subscription service that offers weekly or monthly advice and information on the latest products. Offer special discounts to the members of you list. You could even offer freebies linked to bought products.

What else can you do?

I cannot stress too highly the importance of driving targeted traffic to your site.

It’s vital that you have links coming back to your site. One of the best ways, and it doesn’t cost you anything at all, is by submitting articles. Write about what you do best. Talk about what you consider to be the best ‘whatever’. How easy, or difficult it is to use. If you have knowledge in a particular field, use it. The more original and relevant your articles are, the greater the chances for other websites to use it. How does this help you? On every article site there is a resource box that will be attached to your account. This is an area that you can put relevant details about you and your business, and most importantly, back links to your site. The more the articles are read and distributed the greater the exposure your site is going to get. You need to distribute your articles to as many sites as you can to achieve the maximum benefit.

An additional benefit of articles is that the more that you have published, the greater your expertise is perceived, and you will start to be recognized as an expert in that particular field. This will in turn help to drive traffic to your site.

This is, however, just the start. It’s vital that you keep up the momentum by using every opportunity to promote yourself in every way possible.

As I said at the start, doing it properly is not easy. You could spend months in research finding out about the individual elements that you need to create a successful affiliate marketing business. Alternatively, you can fast track yourself a long way up the queue by using a specialist company that provides everything that you need to get up and running in a very short space of time. These generally provide an all-encompassing service that will create and build your website, submit articles on your behalf, organize and drive traffic to your site plus provide you with help and support every step of the way. These are usually on a paid membership basis, and can be extremely cost effective and time saving.

This is just the beginning. With enthusiasm and determination and the right advice you could build yourself a fantastic business and become quite wealthy at the same time.

Google’s mobile content policy is getting insane. Seriously, I think they are being too strict about it. First time, I submitted my ads they were disapproved because I had my price way down the page where the visitor wouldn’t see it when entering their personal information. So ok I went and corrected the problem and moved my price up and even made it bold. I just wanted to get the ads running so I made it visible as much as possible.

Ok, so now I submitted my ads after making the correction and they got disapproved again. This time the reason was that I didn’t have the checkbox on the page to agree with Terms & Conditions that they accept the price for the mobile subscription….grrrrr

So again I went ahead and included the checkbox and made it so they can’t even continue if they don’t check the box and agree to the terms.

Now I was 100% sure that everything was correct and I submitted my ads again for review. I was hoping to see traffic as soon as they go live, but all I saw was disapproved ads AGAIN!!!

So now I was very upset and really didn’t know what else to do. Finally, I was able to chat with one of their reps and found out that not only the price needs to be in prominent spot on your landing page but also within the ad copy of your adwords ad. ?!?!?! Wow, seriously?

They make it really hard to promote mobile content. I almost feel like dropping this project and move forward with something else. I am going to get them approved just to see what I can do with it, but I am not going to stress about it. If my ads get disapproved again I think I am going to forget about it

Quigo – part of Advertising.com it’s a self-service solution.

Adbrite – Lots of cheap traffic. Test it out first

Pulse360 – Nice content network with lots of potential. You can reach out to sites like FoxNews etc.

As you can see there are plenty of advertising networks that you could use to expand your ppc campaigns. In many cases your cost per click will be even lower with those networks than with Google Adwords.

By the way don’t forget to track your results. I usually have different tracking links for each network I use so that I can determine which one is producing the best results for which CPA offer.

Bookmark It

It makes me want to laugh when I look at the old index page right now. It looked like some affiliate link farm LOL

So far the migration of the blog is going smooth. I still need to clean up the server though. There is sooo much garbage on here that accumulated over the years. You wouldn’t believe what is on here that has not been indexed in Google
