Not getting it? It's not your fault. How the Affiliate Marketing Industry has FAILED you

 

Affiliate marketing is exploding right now.

It's not a new industry, it's just hugely popular with increasing demand for work at home jobs and the need for extra income during the pandemic.

The fact is that people worldwide have been doing affiliate marketing for years. Worldprofit Inc was the first company to offer affiliate marketing and that goes back to 1994. Amazon offered their Affiliate referral program two years later in 1996. Since then numerous software companies, and publicly traded companies offer various types of referral programs.

The problem is not that the affiliate marketing model doesn't work, without a doubt, it does!
All kinds of large companies offer some type of affiliate program, refer a sale to them from your site, or blog, social media etc, and you get a commission.
It's a straight forward concept. Sign up for free at the company site, post or share your affiliate links and earn extra money for referring sales. Other then a link for promotion purposes many companies don't offer their affiliates much assistance with getting sales.

The problem is lies in the fact that some vendors have been pitching that you can make thousands even millions in a few short weeks.
It's complete and total bunk.

Newbies to internet marketing have fell for it spending money on the ONE gadget / secret / software / tool / gizmo that will make them rich.     
The reality soon sets in that it take a lot of promotion, a lot of sales referrals to make even a LITTLE bit of money.
People will post here and there then get frustrated that they aren't making any money.
So the eager but unknowing buys another product, source, ebook, video series thinking that will help.
Then they attend a splashy webinar and are convinced by the "6 Figure Experts" they need their own PRODUCT to make the big money, so then it's on to buying this and that to research and develop your product and get it into one of the many Digital Marketplaces.  Most people don't have the time or the deep pockets to get their product on the market. Those who have done this journey have often found themselves out of a lot of money, in many cases with little to show for it.  

If you're not getting it, it's not your fault if you've stumbled and lost your way in this business.
You've been doled up a convincing story by flashy vendors that it's so easy;  you don't have to do any work, someone else will get your sales for you while you lay on a beach.

Now that you have found your way here, a little burned perhaps, but definitely a lot smarter, you'll be happy to learn there's a better way, a smarter way to earn from affiliate marketing.

Does it pass the sniff test? Affiliate Marketers read this to see why you aren't getting conversions.

 

"Something stinks" I said. One of our members, let's call him Bob,  asked me to take a look at his advertising campaign for his Affiliate marketing program. He'd spent a lot of money on advertising specifically solo ads, he was getting "sign ups" or leads but none were converting. He'd been at if for some time, watching, waiting for some kind of return. He wasn't a newbie either, he'd been doing online marketing for a few years. Finally in frustration he came to me for help.  I am sharing with you what I found, so you can avoid making the same mistakes and know what to look for when you buy advertising to promote your own affiliate marketing links. First, I took a look at his Solo Ad copy.

It was well written, got to the point, punchy, benefit - rich and enticed the reader to click for a Special Free Offer. No problems with his Solo Ad copy whatsoever.    Next, I looked at the landing page he was using in his marketing, he had 3 different test versions and was tracking clicks on each. Each landing page (squeeze page) was well written, employed all the essentials of good copy writing, attention getting headlines, call to action, clear benefits, compelling offer, simple sign up / optin form. Then I reviewed his click rate data for each page.   He had a significant number of clicks with an interesting pattern. When the landing page was promoted in his Solo Ad, the clicks came in within seconds and minutes and hour of the posting, then stopped completely. No clicks at all after about an hour of the ad posting.

Let me share some experience with you, as a company we spend thousands of dollars on advertising, and I can tell you that when we post an ad, especially to a list, we get leads for the next few days, even the next week. The responses don't abruptly stop within an hour of the posting. The ad may go out in a few minutes, but the recipients don't check / read their emails at the same time.  Next I turned to his list of leads.  The leads when viewed as a long list was revealing. There was a suspicious pattern. They had very similar entry data, first initial only and a last name. Then some with a Name that was exactly the same as the email address.

Some were entered in all capital letters, while others had the same style of abbreviations.  Odd. I've been in the affiliate marketing industry for over 25 years, I can tell you one fact about data entry. Numerous people don't enter data in the very same way, and rarely on a list of 100 leads would you see the exact same or very similar data entry pattern. Here's the real eye-opener. When I analyzed if any of these "sign ups" had done anything after they entered their name / email to the optin form, I found that NONE of these leads had taken any further action. By action I mean, they didn't login, they didn't take the next step to "GET" what they had opted in to, or signed up for. Strange. If you are like me, when you "Sign up" for something you usually take (or are required) to take further action to verify the optin, or click to access the provided services, or login to collect on what you were offered and signed up for.

Even if you are not like me, you would think that at least SOME of the leads / sign ups would "do" something, not one did. Why?  These leads didn't pass the sniff test.  I broke it to Bob. The sign ups were fake, either generated by a robot, or a software auto click program, or spit out by a randomized database of names / addresses/ spoofed IP addresses.  The leads are delivered in large numbers quickly to make the buyer happy. His reason for no conversion? The leads weren't real people, robots and fake names don't buy.  Finally, I asked Bob, where he had placed the Solo Ads. When he told me the source where he had been posting, the gig was up. He had been using a source that our experience and testing shows is a complete waste of money.

10 Quick Tips on How to Generate Website Traffic from Yahoo Answers

Yahoo Answers is the 100th most visited website in the world and just imagine how much you could benefit if you?re able to use the popularity of Yahoo Answers to generate traffic for your website? Sounds impossible? Well, it isn?t and we?ll teach you how to do it in simple steps.





Tip #1 Create a Yahoo account that?s very close or exactly the same with your website?s domain name. If your website?s URL is, for instance, www.mylittlestore.com then find a way to create a Yahoo username similar to that. If ?mylittlestore? is not available then perhaps, you could try ?my_little_store? or some other similar variation? As you go on using Yahoo answers, people will find it easier to remember your website because it?s close to your username.



Tip #2 Read the terms and conditions for use of Yahoo Answers carefully. Make sure you don?t violate any policies while working on generating traffic for your website. If you play your cards right, you?ll be able to get around the policies and continue marketing your website.



Tip #3 Choose niche categories. Yahoo Answers has a fairly good classification system for its categories so you won?t have a hard time looking for the categories closest to the products or services you?re selling. Concentrate on answering questions from these categories as this will make building your credibility easier.



Tip #4 Answer just a few questions each day. If you post too many answers everyday, no matter how informative, Yahoo Answers could still find a reason to accuse you of spamming and proceed with deleting your account.



Tip #5 Take your time answering the questions you?ve picked for the day. Always aim to giving the ?best answer? for the question because this can only help improve your reputation. While you don?t need to have to provide overly long answers, your replies must be at the very least, informative and hopefully unique as well.



Tip #6 Remember to include targeted keywords in your answer. Since questions and replies in Yahoo Answers also show up in search engine results, use of targeted keywords will enable more people to see your reply and consequently, generate traffic for your website. Avoid flooding your answers with targeted keywords. Mentioning them once or twice would be enough.



Tip #7 Preview your answers and check for any errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. These little mistakes could hurt your credibility in the long run so it?s best to get them out of the way as early as possible.



Tip #8 Post important links together with your answer. The links must, of course, provide additional information that people would desire to know. Last but not the least, remember to include a link to your website.



Tip #9 Take note of how the question was phrased and make sure you match it in tone and style. These usually have to do with the question category as well. If you?re selling microscopes, you?ll no doubt find yourself in the science category and most questions there are technical. You?ll have to answer in the same vein if you want to gain people?s trust and respect.


 

Tip #10 Lastly, create other Yahoo accounts for yourself and use this infrequently to vote for the answer you?ve posted with your primary account. Don?t let yourself get carried away voting or you could get all your accounts banned.

Videos: A good Way to Increase Traffic to Your Site

 

The most popular website today must be YouTube. YouTube is a video sharing website wherein members are allowed to upload their personal clips and have other people view them. YouTube is very popular because it uses video - videos that have a tremendous pull when it comes to traffic and a regular stream of visitors. Now your website could be another YouTube. You can create a website as popular as YouTube just by using videos. Or you can use the popularity of YouTube to brush some of it to your site. All you have to do is to create or use videos. And everything else will come naturally. Videos have been proven to create the necessary impact to your site. It is a very potent tool to drive traffic to your pages. And it works to two ways. Use of the two suggestions below and start using videos to make your site as popular as you would like it to be.

 

1. Uploading videos to your site. People like to watch something new, something funny, and something interesting. Use videos to capture the attention of your audience. With today's internet world, static web pages are slowly becoming a history. People want something moving. People want interactivity. And you can provide all of that through videos. A simple 2 to 3-minute video should do the trick for you. Record a video clip that would provide your visitors the information they need without going through your site page by page. Some people would like to hear data rather read them. But more than that, videos give spice to your site. It provides your site with something to look forward to. Playing videos gives your visitors something more to check out. It can be used to provide proof that your product is indeed working.

People would like to get ahead with the times. And if it an internet video that's making noise, they would surely want to watch it for themselves. If it's in your site, you are going to be the lucky recipient of all that traffic.

2. Upload videos to popular video sharing sites. This is where sites like YouTube come in. YouTube is a video sharing community that has millions of members from all over the world. If you want to delegate some of the traffic YouTube is getting day in and day out, you could simply add your own special video to YouTube and invite others to watch it. As they watch it, they would find out who made it if it was really good. And in your profile, you can conveniently put your website's URL so that they can know more about you. That way, people will begin to click the homepage you placed in there. Your website would definitely gain traffic as you invite your viewers to watch more videos directly to the site you have created it for.

 

These are the two ways to drive traffic to your site using videos. Try them today.

It could just be the only boost you needed for your website. Vaurn James is the Owner of http://SuccessRoute.biz

Internet Traffic Needs Quantity AND Quality

 

With all the traffic-generating software available today providing easy ways to get lots of traffic redirected to your website, it's easy to lose track of the bottom line. Your website's main purpose is to do something other than just generating hits. It can be the promotion of a product, or providing information on a certain subject. Whatever the case, the volume of traffic running through a site is a major determinant in it's success as a website. However, this is only part of the equation, and some people lose track of their website's main goal in the race to get more hits than everybody else.

Eventually, this leads to their ruin, no matter how many hits they get. One of the best ways to avoid this problem is to keep your website's original, main purpose in mind at all times. Granted, aggressive online marketing software can get you a lot of hits - but will you KEEP those people coming back to your website? That's the question. Always focus first on what you're about. Keep your content fresh and always make sure that you give people a reason to come back and visit you, or you'll wind up the proverbial flash in the pan. Aside from making your website itself interesting, you have to select your target traffic wisely.

Simply bombarding tons of people to visit your website in the belief that the "good" ones will stick around doesn't always hold true. Why? Because the sheer volume of traffic made up of mostly casual browsers or even misdirected hits from any traffic-generating software you're using will ultimately cause lag and bog your site down. This can turn off even those who might have otherwise wanted to browse, or conduct business with you in the first place. So you need to do your research when selecting your target audience. This is made easier by the fact that most software meant to either generate or attract traffic can be customized to your specifications - how aggressive it gets, what types of advertisement to use, parameters on email addresses and websites contacted, that sort of thing. This ability to customize should be used fully to make sure that the audience you reach is the one you want to.

Often, it is a good bet to aim for a smaller but solid customer base that will generate constant traffic from coming back often. Then you can expand from there, slowly building up by looking for more clients to contact. You can also improve your website as you go along to cater to your existing traffic, using things like referral systems to get browsers to participate and bring people they know in (which makes them inclined to stay even more since they'll have friends using your site too). Naturally, this gradual ramp-up can also allow you to improve your site to meet the increasing number of traffic going through. This will be rather different from the usual "randomized" traffic pulled in by traffic generators, who will be there one moment and gone the next, making your traffic spike wildly. Aim instead for a gradually increasing curve to your traffic rate that rarely diminishes and often increases.

 

In this way you can make sure that your website becomes a long-term investment of your time, money, and effort.

How to Drive Targeted Traffic to Your Website with Free Podcasts

 

Podcasts, like ebooks, do not generally require you to spend money when creating them. You may already have the materials and resources needed for creating a podcast: a good-quality microphone, a few software tools to edit your recording, and of course, valuable content. If you have all that then you can start creating free podcasts that could drive targeted traffic to your website.

Step 1 Formulate your script. Choose a topic that will be interesting for your target market to listen to and which they can benefit from as well. If you have a topic in mind already, research for more information about the topic. If you have enough data, it?s time to start a script. Think of writing a script as something similar to creating an outline. A script will let you ensure that the flow of information is logical, orderly, and smooth. A script is made up of several acts and an act is made up of several scenes. Choose the best scene or act for which you can redirect the dialogue to your business. It?s very, very important to mention your business because you want people to remember where the podcast comes from and where they could go if they want more.

Step 2 Choose the proper format for your podcast. Consider your resources, skills, and topic. Would you like the podcast to take an interview format? should it be formal or informal? How about a monologue?

Step 3 Consider the length of your podcast. If you don?t have an established reputation online just yet then not many people will be willing to give their entire time to listening to your podcast. New online business owners are better off limiting their podcasts to a short duration ? maybe not more than fifteen or thirty minutes. When you get a bit more popular then that?s the time you should make your podcast longer. For now, it?s better to keep things short, simple, and sweet. Make your listeners look forward to what you have to say next.

Step 4 Start recording. Choose the best place where you can record. An ideal room would have sound-proof walls and carpeted floors to preserve the original sound of your voice and other audio effects. The room must also be free from external background noise like a mouse squeaking in the corner, an open window letting in street noise from below, or something similar. Make sure you subject all your recording tools to a sound test and ensure that they?re in working order. Whoever the narrator or speakers are, they must have clear and well-modulated voices and able to enunciate words perfectly.

Step 5 Humor is always appreciated but only if it?s applied at the right time and place. Adding a touch of humor here and there, especially if it?s ad-libbed, will go a long way in obtaining the loyalty of your listeners.

Step 6 End your podcast with an invitation for your listeners to check out your other podcasts. Let them know what you have in store for them next and your regular time and day for uploading podcasts in your website. Listen to your recording several times before making it available for downloading.

Step 7 Lastly, submit it to directories and make sure to use the same set of information when describing your podcast. Include targeted keywords with your description and don?t forget to display your website address!

How Viral Marketing Can Make Your Website More Popular

 

In the offline world, viral marketing means that you are spreading the word about your product or service, and the rumors about it are catching and moving fast, like wildfire ? or, actually, more like a virus that has lost control. In this case, however, a marketer has full control of the situation, because all that he needs to do is urge his boss to release the product or service in order to satisfy the curiosity of the target market. This can be the same disadvantage that makes viral marketing so dangerous: customers are so inundated with advertising messages and promises, so that if the product or service fails to live up to expectations, the company that produced it just might fall into ruin.

In the online arena, viral marketing can be even more dangerous ? in fact, it can work extremely well, or backfire and spin out of control. This is because there are many chances for viral marketing to take place online. All that viral marketing needs is a short message, a set of recipients, and a mode of delivery. A short message can be easy to come by for companies or businesses that know their products and services well. A set of recipients can also be obtained fairly quickly from directories or lists of contact details of prospective customers. It is the mode of delivery that makes viral marketing so easy online. There are actually many modes of delivery online that can make viral marketing spread even faster than it would offline.

Because of the paradigm of Web 2.0, more and more people are finding their way online and finding it easier to express themselves in the online arena. This means that many people will have their own websites, a means to react to entries on the website or blog that the person has produced, and membership in various social networks where friends can come together to discuss their favorite topics and ways to indulge their interests. If word gets out on a blog or social network about a great product, service, or website, the word spreads quickly through the web of people and online personas, and viral marketing is born. So what does this mean for your website?

 

It means that there are many ways for your website to succeed online only if you know how to exploit the different ways that Web 2.0 can spread the word on your website, products, and services. You can start by maintaining a blog, and then being a member of forums and online groups at the same time. Your membership will allow you to post your opinions, help other members out with their problems, offer tips, and give advice. Once you have sealed your reputation, you can then direct people to your blog, where they can make comments and get a chance to tell other people about your products, services, and website. Make sure, however, that your products and services really do live up to expectations, and that you update your website regularly.

 

Once viral marketing gets started, it can be difficult to control. Of course you will not be able to please everybody, but at least you know the techniques to employ when you want to try. These are only a few aspects of viral marketing that you may want to consider. For more information, read about Web 2.0 and the importance of social networks. Once you get into these networks, it will be easier for you to market your website, products, or services.

Cheap Ways to Generate More Traffic for Your Website

 

Websites run on traffic, it's a fact of life. Whether you're getting paid for every person who visits your webpage, or offering services and products on your website, you can never have too much traffic running through your site. More traffic means more people looking at you, means more publicity and money. One way or another, you earn more when your traffic is high. Still, most people wind up investing a lot of money into generating traffic for their sites, so much so that they ultimately lose out because of high overhead costs. They either spend too much on fancy advertising programs, or pay too much money to other web sites to advertise their site, that they ultimately break even at best.

Here are three simple, cheap, yet effective ways to keep your traffic climbing higher without putting your wallet in the red. Search Engine Optimization - this is one of the simplest ways to get your traffic up. Simply put, SEO works by optimizing the words on your web site so that they stand higher chances of getting selected when people enter certain key words related to your site on search engines. SOE can be done a number of ways. There are SEO-tailored articles ghostwritten and given to subscribers by certain providers. This option also always ensures you have plenty of material for your website.

Another way to go about it is to buy an SEO program which alters articles you place on your website so that they are optimized for search engine key words. Another way is to use an SEO random keyword generator which gives you a list of random words which have high priority with a lot of search engines; then you can pick and choose these words to add to your web site as you will. False Traffic Generator Programs - this is a simple program which works hand in hand with SEO programs. Quite simply, search engines have two main criteria when placing a web site on their lists; one is key word density, and another is the number of hits that website has had recently.

A false traffic generator program can actually fool some (but not all) search engines into thinking that you've had a much higher number of hits than you really did. Two Way Links - this is another easy way to get traffic to your website. While most people pay other sites to have links placed to their own site, a two way link is simply an arrangement with another web site wherein you give them a link to your site in exchange for their having a link to yours placed on theirs.

Normally, neither side pays the other for the link or any hits redirected, because this type of relationship is intended to be symbiotic. While not every site will agree to such an arrangement, it never hurts to look around for other sites which will agree to this. It will help if you have a high traffic rate to begin with, as this can offer you some bargaining power when trying to work out a two way link deal with a website that also enjoys a lot of traffic. By the same token, if you have a high volume to begin with you can even work out a two way link where you pay them for every hit redirected to them and vice versa, if the web sites you're approaching have relatively lower traffic than yours.

 

This allows them more publicity since you have more traffic, and also allows you to save more money since their initial traffic is lower.

8 Quick Tips on Creating Traffic-Generating Infoproducts

 

Infoproducts can drive traffic to a website, but only if they possess the appropriate content and they?re marketed properly.

Tip #1 Write about what you love. Write about what you know. Readers will better be able to appreciate the infoproducts you?ve created if they can see that you?ve got at least a semblance of authority to write such works.

Tip #2 Write for the benefit of the readers. It?s not enough to write something you?re interested in. You must also write in such a way that will benefit your readers. If creating the infoproduct has been a pleasure for you, that?s good ? but it?s not enough to make readers want it. You need to have a specific goal in mind. You need to think of a way that will make the infoproduct a benefit for your readers.

Tip #3 If the new things that you have to share is not enough to make up one infoproduct then it?s time to hit the public domain! These refer to previously published works that you are legally allowed to use as many times as you wish and in any way you want. Works in the public domain can be great filler for your infoproduct; they can provide excellent background data for the few new topics you?ve come up with. Of course, make sure that any work you do choose to borrow or include is indeed public domain. When in doubt, the US Copyright office can always help you out. Also, there are several websites which only offer public domain works ? if you got your sources from these websites then there?s no need for additional verification.

Tip #4 What happens if you?ve got wisdom to impart but no skills to put it on paper? You hire a ghostwriter. Don?t let your writing skills ? or lack of it ? hinder you from creating traffic-generating infoproducts. There are so many ghostwriters in the marketplace offering their services for competitive rates ? choose any one of them and your plans for the Next Great American Infoproduct is back on track.

Tip #5 They say that you shouldn?t judge a book by its cover, but this sensible advice is rarely heeded. Sure, people know it?s the content that matters, but they prefer to buy books which offer excellent content and equally excellent covers. Once you?re done creating your infoproduct, you need to focus perfecting its marketing aspect: choose an attention-grabbing title as well as a visually appealing cover. Work diligently on the back cover teaser, too.

Tip #6 If possible, divide your content into several sections and make one infoproduct out of each. If you release them one by one, you can guarantee a constant flow of traffic to your website. If that?s not possible then consider writing sequels or related works instead.

Tip #7 Choose the right price for your infoproducts. Free is always best, but if you think you can?t afford to miss out on the opportunity to earn as well from your infoproducts then do make sure you attach just the right price on your infoproducts. More importantly, make it convenient for your readers to purchase your infoproducts.

Tip #8 Spread the word in any way you know how. Post entries about your infoproducts on your blog, create podcasts about it, post shoutouts on your social networking accounts, submit entries to social bookmarking sites ? simply put, don?t completely rely on search engines to do the marketing for your infoproducts.

How Link Building Can Take Traffic to Your End of the Net Universe

 

In the world of Internet marketing, your URL is your identity. You may have the silliest website on the planet, or the most attractive one; you might have the best content for your research or the worst material, or the most useless text; you might have the best graphics and animation, or you might have the worst downloadable software. In any case, if your URL is out there, it can make you famous. Now why is this so? You can make the most elaborate description of your services, the most flattering words to describe your products and services, and the most highfalutin prose to show off your company. However, all these words cannot fit into a web directory, and you will need to have your link to show yourself off.

 

When people see this link, they should be redirected to your website whether or not you have the audacity to show your text off. Now how can this be advantageous to you? If you have your URL in all places, from magazines, to advertisements, to other websites? links pages, then you generate a buzz around your URL. Your link is now your identity, and the more buzz it generates, the more famous it becomes, and the more famous you become. The more famous you become, the more people can go to your site, and the more chances you have to convert these visits into profit.

 

This process, of placing your link nearly everywhere, is link building, and link building, when done prudently, can earn you your place in the net universe. All you need to do is know yourself well, and know your market perfectly. And although all this sounds very simple, it can actually be a long process that can cost you a lot of money. First, know yourself. Are you an up and coming company that is filled with verve and vibe, or a classic company that thrives on elegance? Know, moreover, what you want to become. Do you want to spread your wings out and cater to a great number of clients, or do you want to narrow your market and cater only to a few people?

 

All of these will spell out what kind of link building strategies you will carry out: young people frequent a certain kind of website, while the not-so-young will rely more on email and other things that can be read offline. Second, know your market. If you are catering to the young, you will need different strategies versus when you are catering to the not so young. There are certain colors, styles, and words that you need to use, and there are certain products and services that you can attach yourself to.

 

Moreover, because putting your URL on certain sites, products, services, and other marketing marquees can cost money, you cannot simply employ a shotgun method and place your URL everywhere. Remember, sometimes ubiquity translates into hard sell, and you can also turn off customers if you employ link building without prudence. These are only a few tips that you might want to follow as you engage in link building. There are still many other ways that you can carry it out, but the important thing to remember is that you should cater to your market.

 

You need to also know yourself well, because the efforts that you take on today?s marketing field will still resonate years and years from now. If you meet market needs and tastes, moreover, then you will succeed online.

[firstname], Using Excellent Writing To Drive Traffic To Your Website

 

Do you know that your flair for writing can generate you the traffic that you want for your website? If you have excellent writing skills, don't put it to waste. Use it to promote your site in more ways than one. Writers are currently earning so much writing articles like this for websites. Web owners in turn, use them for content and for website, product, or service promotion. Well-written articles optimized for search engines could help boost your web page's page ranking and performance on the searches.

 

To optimize articles, one needs to sprinkle it with keywords that are supposed to be repeated several times in the body of the article. This way, when a certain surfer tries to search for that term using a search engine, your website will come up first - or at least in the first page of the search results. You should know by now that if your website is on that very first page of search results, the higher is the probability that surfers will check your site and look for that thing they want to see. And that is one good way to generate traffic to your site.

 

But it doesn't end there. You might be wondering how you can improve traffic to your site after all the necessary contents have been loaded. Of course, there's something else you can do. And your excellent writing skills have a lot to do with it still. For starters, you can write for article directories. Article directories are sites whose the main purpose is to upload articles submitted by members. These articles are free articles. Other people can copy them and put them in their own websites.

 

They don't need to pay for it but one thing is requested from them - they have to publish the article in its entirely. This means they would need to include all embedded links and anchor texts found in the article. The author's description and by-line should also be included. If they don't agree to this rule, they can't use the article at all. You can include links to your websites on the articles you submit to article directories. IT is a good way to promote your site. The more people getting your articles, the more website carries your links. And the visitors of those websites would somehow find their way to your site as well. You can also do this free content technique without going through article directories.

 

Directly from your site, you can inform your readers that they are free to use your articles and publish them anywhere acceptable. Just include instructions on your page so they can use your articles accordingly. A lot of web masters needing content prefer to get articles from websites that they can trust rather than from an article directory. These are the ways that you can possibly put that excellent writing skills in work for you and your website. For webmasters like you, traffic is very precious. Every new visitor you have is a gem.

 

So if you think you can't write, start brushing up on past grammar lessons and some creative writing skills. You are certainly going to need them handy - especially if traffic is the main problem you have to deal with as far as your site is concerned.

Facebook Marketing Tips That Youll Want To Like

 

There are no miracle methods you can use to develop a successful social media marketing campaign. Every single company has its own target audience with specific likes, dislikes, wants and needs. The article below will give you some powerful guidelines you can use to benefit from this great marketing tool. Do not sign up for a Facebook account and expect the name of your brand to speak for itself. Even if the brand you are marketing is fairly well established, you still need to do work to make it even more popular. Failing to do this may result in you losing some of your fans. If you have nothing valuable to say to your audience, do not say anything.

People do not want to visit your page and be treated to information that is useless and/or dated. if you do not have anything relevant and unique to talk about, try sharing links or videos that are in the same niche. You need to have a unique Facebook page if you use it for marketing purposes. Put up neat visuals or add some color. The sorts of people who like Facebook are sure to appreciate this type of page rather than a plain one. Try using custom tabs on your Facebook page. When you first create your business Facebook page, you'll have general tabs like the Wall and Info tabs.

 

Try extending your capabilities by creating your own custom tabs. Some businesses have tabs that contain links to various kinds of content like products, newsletters, and ongoing contests. Do not leave any sections of your Facebook page blank if you are looking to market your business. Many people neglect to put all of their info and this can cost a lot in the long run. If people cannot find the information they need on your business, they may look for somewhere else to get what they need. Offer something in exchange for signing up on your Facebook page.

 

Having visitors register on your page lets you engage them in ongoing dialogue about your business. Offering them something, such as an entry in a sweepstakes, makes them more likely to register on your page and provide your business with valuable leads. You don't need a business page if you don't have many frequent repeat customers, such as a Realtor or car salesman. Your customers will want to read your posts everyday on Facebook. Facebook ads that target customers with a specific interest may be a better bet. Try posting to Facebook at different times during the day. If you have a habit of posting at the same time every day, you may not know if there are better times to get engagement.

 

Every target audience is different, and what works for one time-wise might not work for another. Try posting at multiple times during the day to see when your audience is the most active. Promote your Facebook page all over the place. Share the link to your social media profile on your website, on your personal page, on your blog, on your friends' pages and anywhere else you can think of. The more exposure your page gets, the better it is for your business. Make content on your Facebook page exclusive. People tend to love what they think is "out of reach."

 

Try offering something valuable to your audience in exchange for them to "Like" your page. This is a win-win situation for everyone. Some businesses have offered free products like e-Books just for "Liking" their page. This information in this article should have helped you get a handle on Facebook marketing. Use it to develop a campaign and use Facebook in a manner that is productive for you. When you start today, profit increases will come quickly.

Benefits Of Article Advertising Or Article Marketing

Article advertising or article marketing can be the key to not only making money but having a successful business. If you have a product or service that you are trying to promote then one of the best and most cost effective ways is by using article advertising.

Article advertising is a type of marketing effort in which you write short articles, about 400-600 words, related to the product or service you wish to promote. If they are well written they will, after getting distributed to various online article directories that will be easily found on search engines and read by people interested in what you have to offer.

In article advertising, well written article will be constructed in such a way that it has strategic placements of keywords and keyword phrases used by those who are searching for what you have to offer. This will make your article easily found by search engines and can help get you noticed earlier by future consumers.

Some of the benefits of article advertising are:
1)    It is a great way to gain respect in the niche you are trying to reach. If they see your well written and informative article they will see you as an authority. The more that you have written about a certain area, the more trusted you will be and the more likely they will be to buy what you offer.

2)    It is very cost effective. If you write the article yourself it will only cost you the amount of time and energy you put into researching and writing the subject. If you can't write well, you can easily find those who are able to write for you who are affordable and will let you put your name on it, aka, ghostwriters. These are many times very affordable, though you need to make sure that they are able to give you unique content and are native speakers in the language you are trying to market in.

3)    Links are also a great benefit to article advertising. Your well written article will have a link back to your website and will also have a resource box with a strong call to action. This will invite those reading the article to go to your site to find out more about what you have to offer. This will also help your search engine ranking.

4)    It helps you reach a much larger target audience than you otherwise would have. Those who are really interested in what you are offering will be the ones who read your article. You won't be putting your marketing efforts in front of people who may or may not care about what you have to offer. It will be read by people who are truly interested in what you are doing and are also very likely to buy what you are selling.

Article marketing or article advertising is a great way to get attention to your products or services, if it is used correctly. Take some time to learn how to do it the right way or find a good ghost writer to do the work for you and you will find customers who are not only willing to buy from you, but trust that you are going to meet their needs and may come back to you for other purchases. Done correctly, article advertising can help you climb to the top and make you a success.

Expert Advice On How To Get The Facebook Marketing Results You Need

Expert Advice On How To Get The Facebook Marketing Results You Need

 

 

What sort of marketing are you interested in? When it comes to Facebook, you can really take a variety of avenues to reach out to customers and potential leads. You are only held back by your imagination and education, and this article should help you out with the latter, at least.

 

Never purchase a Facebook page from someone else. Many people do this so they can have a lot of likes from the beginning, but this is never a good idea. Once people start to realize they are a part of something unfamiliar, they will probably unlike the page and give their friends a warning.

 

Using humor in your posts is great as long as you don't overdo it, and the content relates to your business or product. Creating funny posts can actually get them shared across Facebook, ensuring plenty of eyeballs are engaged and your marketing campaign finds the success you want it to.

 

Step one when it comes to creating a Facebook marketing campaign is to write down your goals. What exactly do you want to come out of all of your hard work? Do you want to increase profits? Do you want to retain loyal customers? Do you want to create relationships?

 

If you do not have any relevant content to post on your Facebook page, think about posting questions that will led to discussions. This is a great way to keep users engaged when you have nothing new to share. Your page will stay active and will not seem stagnant at all.

 

Keep track of how your page is doing. Monitor your Facebook page's traffic. What sort of posts and content seem to get the most attention from your customers? Take note of what really seems to interest people and what doesn't. Keep track of this information so that you can better plan for the future.

 

Ask your existing customers for input on your main Facebook marketing pages. Few things speak directly to prospective customers like reading true accounts of how your product or service has helped others. Offer a discount or free shipping when someone takes the time to post a positive message about your company, to show your appreciation and encourage more great advertising!

 

Try sending updates. Facebook Page Administrators can send messages to every person that "Likes" their page. When you have something valuable on your Facebook business page that your fans should know about, you can send them an update so that they're aware of it. Be prudent with how often you do this by only sending updates to fans when it's really important.

 

You need to build community to create great Facebook marketing opportunities. Just building a Facebook page isn't enough. There's a lot of work involved with getting your fans active with your brand. The more fans that you have that are engaged at this level, the more powerful your future marketing will be.

 

Now that you understand the how, what, why, when and where, or at least how to figure them out for yourself, you just need to supply the imagination to create an outstanding Facebook marketing campaign. Take the time necessary to do the job right the first time. When you do, your campaign should really take off.

What Is Digital Currency-How Does It Work

 

 

What is digital currency? It is defined as: money stored and transferred in digital form. Sounds simple enough, but how does it all work? This type of currency is thought to be good to use for making purchases on the internet because if it works the way it was meant to, transactions should be rather anonymous and untraceable back to the payer or user. This means that hackers would no longer be able to gather personal information from people who use their credit cards to make online purchases. This would obviously decrease the number of stolen identities that happen every day.

 

To help you understand more of, "what is digital currency?" I have done quite a bit of research on the subject and have found that there are several different types out there, each with it's own unique qualities. Here are just a few with their descriptions following: 1. Digital Gold Currency - This type is backed by gold stored in vaults. The gold provides an extra measure of security and if you hold this type of currency, you could possibly directly exchange it for solid gold bullion. 2. Centralized Currency Systems - these are like PayPal and these companies allow you to send money all over the world as long as you have money in the account. For some services provided by these types of companies, you get charged a fee on the receivers end of the transaction. 3. Decentralized Currency Systems - Like Bitcoin are all based on cryptography and/or trust networks.

 

Also called Hard Electronic Currency, it is intended to be more like using cash to make your transaction but your transaction is non-refundable once made. This type of system only works in one direction. The E-cash idea has evolved along with the evolution of the Internet. People just do not feel comfortable with giving their personal credit card information over the Internet when making a purchase. Too many bad things can happen like identity theft. No one wants their identity stolen. So, many companies have attempted to create this type of payment or monetary system to minimize the risks of shopping online. Many countries have successfully created systems for "in-house" use such as Hong Kong's Octopus card. This card works just like a sort of debit card where the user loads money onto the card and then all the money is deposited into a bank.

 

They can then use the card for anything they need to use it for. Some countries are working on or have systems that allow the user to transfer money through mobile devices. I think this is somewhat like what Chase lets their customers do. Their customers can take a picture of their check, front and back, with their phone and make their deposit electronically.

I do hope that this gives you some idea of what is digital currency and how it is attempting to take it's place in the world of e-commerce. There may be a little more to it than I could describe in just one small article but I think you can get a good idea.

Common Facebook Advertising Mistakes

Yes, Facebook advertising is easy to start. There are guidelines that can be followed and effectively implemented, even by novice marketers. But the simple instructions could be tricky for some, causing the pitfalls of some of the Facebook advertising practitioners. Just because it is easy to do does not mean you can just post your ads and be successful right away. So to avoid such pitfalls, here are the common mistakes committed at Facebook advertising. So you won’t be misled by how easy it can be, be advised on what you must NOT do!

Newbie mistake of assumption. If you are new at Facebook advertising, follow the guidelines about profiling and creating ads. Use Facebook advertising utilities and invest on their CPC or CPM advertising cost and then wait. There is nothing wrong with this scenario. It is wrong when you just sit back not observing what will happen next and expect Facebook to perform a miracle. At the end of each Facebook advertising tips and advices is to say ‘observe and improve’. It is always like that. The first steps are just to familiarize with Facebook Advertising; the rest is all about creating strategy. This is a never ending learning, adjustments and reaping the fruits of your labor.

Ignoring the importance of local marketing. In Facebook advertising, you can set up what nation or location you are going to target. The thing is that some people forget to omit other country’s names. Let us say you only want to market in the US then you don’t really need to include Canada or any other countries where you don’t plan to market at all. They will just crowd your reports.

Mistaking CPC for CPM. CPC is cost per click where you are billed to how many clicks and CPM is cost per impression where you are billed per 1000 impression you get from your ads. Both are Facebook advertising plan with different end result of payment amount. So understand this well.

Poor target market profiling. A target market is the life of Facebook advertising. If you cannot pinpoint who you want to market, don’t attempt to start this advertising scheme. You have to first establish this. Know your business, define who are your target clients and lead them to your business.

Too much ad production without quality content. This is a big no. there are just too many ads that are all persuasion without really being memorable or believable. Unfortunately, you have to do it all, from being informative to being persuasive.

Ignoring the importance of landing tab. You have to bring or gather your clients somewhere at Facebook. Invest for landing pages.
Getting over excited and doing everything all at once. You have to take time to learn. Take one step at a time. Start with understanding each features first, doing one or two a week until you can get the drift.

There are more mistakes you can read online. You can learn from these mistakes. Improve how you handle your Facebook advertising by avoiding the mistakes above. Unfortunately, the fruits are not always good. If your ads do not work at first, you have to learn to evolve and analyze what went wrong. If you will not grow and always expect Facebook to do all the works for you, you will not be able to go anywhere else. At the end of the day you might think that Facebook advertising is hogwash.

 

It is not, it is just pure work.

Solo Advertising: What you need to know to get the best bang for your buck

 

Solo Advertising - What you Need to Know It's come to our attention that some of our Members have been taken in by some dishonest Solo Ad Vendors not associated with Worldprofit.  We've written these guidelines to help you make good decisions when purchasing solo ads.   Solo Ads are an effective and powerful way to promote your affiliate links and grow your email marketing list. Here's how it works. You submit your ad to a Solo Ad Vendor / Seller and he or she sends your ad out to a Subscriber list (email marketing list). If your Solo Ad is well written and compelling, you should immediately start getting a flow of optins and people joining your own email marketing list or autoresponder. The Vendor may or may not provide you with some type of tracking for your Solo Ad stats.  

 

Solo Ad Advantages Solo Ads are effective for promoting affiliate marketing links, online business opportunities and MLM (business models that are often banned by Facebook or Twitter) It's excellent target marketing as your Solo Ad gets sent to a subscriber list - people who have agreed to receive marketing promotions. The list recipients are involved in affiliate marketing themselves and are motivated as they may earn credits for viewing the ads in exchange for agreeing to receive email promotions. Usually there are few limits on the size of your Solo Ad Warm and receptive market as people who receive the solo ads have agreed to and are expecting to receive various marketing promotions.   Easy to Track optins to test your ad, your marketing campaign and the list  Solo Ad Disadvantages There are actually NO disadvantages to the practice of Solo Ads, the disadvantages are solely related to the honesty and reliability of the VENDOR / SELLER of the Solo Ads.  Here's what to watch out for when evaluating Solo Advertising Vendors

1. If the Vendor insists that you use ONLY their Capture Page, and not one of your own,  be cautious. Reason: Some vendors require you use their Contact page so they have complete control and can "inject" the lead form with bot traffic. This makes you think you are getting a large number of optins but ou can't tell the source or the type of traffic, you just know you are getting a lot of leads / optins.  While initially you may be impressed with the optin rate, you eventually try to contact those people and your fears are confirmed, they are fake, or the trend is consistent that a large number of the leads state they never signed up for anything. In the case where a login is required, you may notice that the lead never logs in, very strange.  Unscrupulous vendors use robotic software programs that have Auto Form Fill functions and that can vary the IP, so it seems that the leads are coming from different computer and parts of the world.  The fact that these are robotic software programs means they can churn out unlimited "leads" and "optins" to unknowing, trusting buyers. 

 

2. If there is no way to get on the list of the Vendor / Seller to actually see and receive your Solo Ads and those ads of other marketers, be skeptical. Reason: If the Vendor has a list of subscribers there should be no reason why you cannot subscribe to that list to get a confirmation or verification of your Solo Ad as a recipient.

 

3. If the Vendor /  Seller won't allow you to use your own 3rd party tracking software, ask questions. Without your own 3rd party, unbiased tracker, you have no choice but to trust that what they reveal is truthful. Using your own good quality tracker program can reveal to you referral source, IP, time on page, exit times and more. extremely useful data that can reveal REAL traffic from FAKE traffic.  

 

4. If the Refund Policy Guarantees Conversion or you don't pay, ask questions and read the fine print. Reason:  Sketchy vendors use words like 100% Risk Free to gain your trust and ease your worry. They know you are busy and most people don't take the time to read Terms and Conditions.  If you take the time to read the Refund Policy who will often find there are conditions or a cancellation fee, or you could unintentionally violate their terms making your refund null and void.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this? Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on. The site design has to be revised.

 

The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate?s conversion rates. That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program. Time to track down the sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future. There are lots of resources to sort out. Ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. Best to stay visible and accessible too.

 

The affiliate marketer remembered that there are questions to answer from the visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer than an unanswered email. To prove that the affiliate is working effectively and efficiently, inquiries would have to be paid more attention on. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too. In the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those under that same program. This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote their products.

 

There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process. Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what opportunities ahead. The newsletters and ezines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the marketer?s publication to be distributed to the old and new customers. These same publications are also an important tool in keeping up to date with the newly introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the publications.

 

It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process they have done that made everything worked. Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information that have been written already. The marketer still has time to write out recommendations to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of wannabees. Two objectives done at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join. Time flies. Missed lunch but is quite contented with the tasks done.

 

Bed time?. Ok, so this may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day. Is that success looming in the distance or what?
