This is the second of six articles on how to earn a living with affiliate marketing. In the last report I took you through the process of finding a niche, we ended with you having reached the point where the niche had been found and you have to prepare the ‘bait’, or should I say a free report on your specialist subject in order to tempt people to sign up to your newsletter or purchase a product from you, this needn’t be your own product, although if you have one in the niche you have chosen that’s brilliant, but most people will be finding a suitable product to promote as an affiliate.

There is a very important interim step that you need to perform to ensure the report which you will create will lead to sales of your product, what you don’t want to do here is ASSUME there will be plenty of products to promote to your chosen market, you should check NOW to make certain you do not waste your time creating reports, and then find there is no product to sell – make sense?

Right then, the obvious question is, “how do I find out if there are products available to promote to my chosen market”? Well this is what you do; first of all we re-visit Clickbank, but this time for a different reason, last time we were looking for niche ‘ideas’ this time we are looking for products to sell to our target market. Go to Clickbank.com, click on ‘Market Place’ and in the keywords box type in the main search-term that you are looking for, lets say you have decided that fat loss is what you want to create your report on and that you wish to sell a product to that particular target market, so in the ‘keyword’ box type ‘fat loss’. As of the day of typing this report I note the first page has a number of products to promote, there are two links available on each listing, one to the ‘pitch page’ this is just the sales page for the product that your clients would be taken to if they clicked on the link that you would supply them, the other is the ‘Hop-link’ this is the special code which you are supplied by the product owner in order to supply this to your clients, it is unique to you and anyone who buys the product through your unique link will earn you the current commission, usually anywhere from 50% to 75% of the retail cost. You need to sign up to as an affiliate first, but this is straightforward, and full instructions are supplied by clicking on the ‘sign up’ tab on the Clickbank home page.

Good, that’s Clickbank sorted, you know there are products to promote, next go to Google and type in the name of your niche, in this case ‘fat loss’ followed by the words ‘affiliate products’, without the inverted commas, like so: fat loss affiliate products, hit enter, and as you will see, there are more products, to be precise 219,000 in one way shape or form as of the time of writing, if you wish you can be more specific, e.g., type in ‘(niche) eBook affiliate program’ ‘(niche) membership site affiliate program’ ‘(niche) DVD affiliate program’ or other combinations that may spring to mind.

You now have your niche and you have found products to promote – next the report. There are two ways to find the information you require, first the no cost way, go to Google again and type in the words ‘niche’ information, in this case ‘fat loss information’, hit enter, and again at the time of writing there’s a page full of report information, in fact thousands of items, all you need to do is visit some of the sites, or one particularly good site, read the information, disseminate it and RE-WRITE in your own words, please NEVER plagiarise, not only in this immoral and unethical you can end up in trouble with copyright law, don’t be tempted to lift complete sentences either from the selected text, RE-WRITE in your own words, there’s nothing wrong with ‘learning’ something from a particular source and/or your own personal experiences and then imparting that information in your own personal style and adding to it from other information which is gleaned from elsewhere, and by doing so improve and generally enhance the report in question. Make the article interesting, make certain it does provide help and assistance to your target audience, read it back to yourself after completion and place yourself in the shoes of your target market, does it HELP them, bear that in mind when re-writing what you learn, it MUST prove beneficial to your market, will it help them? Even in a small way to move towards solving their specific problem, if the answer is yes, great, if no, alter the content accordingly. If you feel your English is not up to scratch, then find a friend, relative, colleague or anyone who has that skill, we aren’t looking for someone with a degree in English, although if you know someone like that fine, just yourself, or someone else who can finalise the final report and make it readable is all you require, the report only needs to be about 750 to 1500 words and that shouldn’t take long to complete, in a day, easily, if you work at it. If you prefer a more automated search there are some free software downloads available, one I suggest, which is available for free is at: http://www.download3k.com/Install-Article-Ideas-Software.html after downloading,simply fill in the main field together with a sub category if one exists of you niche, hit enter, and the software will go to work finding information from all over the net for you, remember to re-write as suggested – but again – DO NOT plagiarize.

To go down the paid for route there are many article research items of software, just type into Google the aforementioned words to find a plethora of information – personally I would avoid the paid for route, and one other word of advice, don’t believe the ‘spin’ if any software promises to do all the article writing for you, some may be better than others in collecting information, but you will still have to have some kind of personal input as far as the actual writing of the article is concerned. To finish off the report you must include ‘long tail keywords’ within the text, these are the words that Google and other engines will search for. If your report is key word rich it will help it be found in the search engines and enable you to achieve a higher ranking than would normally be possible. Look out in the next report for how to check competitor keywords as well as how to optimise your own website to obtain search engine ranking. If you wish to obtain these reports in advance of publication, sign up for my weekly newsletter, further details are contained in the ‘bio’ box. Until next time.

Benefits of social media marketing

Social media marketing offers you a lot of benefits. However, the biggest benefit is that it helps you increase the visibility of your product in a place where it can harness maximum number of customers.

Advertising in the social media is like putting up huge hoardings and advertising banners in a place where the largest crowd of target customers congregates. For a marketer, it cannot get better than this.

Network Marketing For Dummies was written by legendary sales guru Zig Ziglar and Dr. John Hays. Together, these two men make up a network marketing powerhouse. They have sold millions of dollars in products and services both for the companies for whom they worked, and for themselves. They are considered experts in the field of network marketing and they condensed their knowledge of the basics of the industry to help newcomers navigate the field and to help veterans become re-energized about selling and team building.

Zig Ziglar is not just a renowned salesman, he’s also a renowned motivational speaker and writer. In Network Marketing for Dummies, he combines both of these skills. His no-nonsense writing style keeps the reader interested, and his knack for motivation can help energize the reader into wanting to take the actions he lays out in the book.

In Network Marketing for Dummies, readers will learn the common pitfalls that new marketers tend to make, like not fully researching the company or falling for”front loading” tactics. You’ll learn how to spot red flags that mark a company as bad news, and the “green lights” that mean a company operates fairly and within federal guidelines. Zig doesn’t let the reader jump into an opportunity without doing their due diligence, a step that many people unfortunately don’t take before leaping into a new network marketing opportunity.

It also offers a practical guide for those who have been in the business for a while and need a good jump start. It can be easy for someone in the business to forget the fundamentals, or skip important steps needed to lay a foundation for success. Network Marketing for Dummies offers veterans of the industry a new way of looking at things so they can approach the business with as fresh an attitude as they did when they were first starting out. It also outlines practical ideas for becoming a leader and building a team. Many marketers find it hard to get tips on leadership, but Ziglar and Hays know how important these skills are to success.

While the book is packed with tips, suggestions and nuggets of wisdom, it goes even further. The authors give the reader practical ways to apply these nuggets, giving them a clear road map for success. Network marketers will come away from this book rejuvenated, motivated, and armed with the tools to succeed in the business.

Many of you are looking for a compact and exact definition of what we term the affiliate marketing. The World’s Glossary of internet terms defines affiliate marketing as “A business relationship with any service provider or product maker who personally allows you to advertise their products. When any of the visitors of your website clicks on the specific link they are immediately sent to purchase the product of your merchant and you get your share in the form of commission”.

Simply put, what you earn is for what you have done in order to advertise the products of someone else. You obtain a payment based on the amount of the sale, a referral fee or a pay-for-click fee.

So this is not something complex, it is a simple and straight forward contract between the merchant and the affiliate. Always remember, there are some steps to reach the final success stage and the same is the case in this online business. The affiliate marketer will get into many problems if they start showing hastiness for money.

Making money is the last step of affiliate marketing and to reach to that step an affiliate marketer is required to educate themselves well in so many subjects. Let’s expand a little on some basic steps one has to take in order to become a successful affiliate marketer:

Step 1: Get yourself well educated about different things and always remember this is the only key which can open the door of so many opportunities. Education builds your base and without a proper base you can’t get success in anything. Absorb all the useful and relevant information about this industry from anywhere.
Step 2: Knowledge is the well processed form of information and to turn your information to knowledge is exactly the next step. Information is totally worthless if you don’t know how to use it and when to use it. Learn how you can make the information serve your objectives.
Step 3: Time to get practical, now you have to implement the knowledge you have got. Don’t think that after getting so much knowledge you won’t make any mistakes. You will still make many mistakes but remember time is the biggest mentor.
Step 4: Give small things lots of importance and this can return you with big rewards. Testing and tweaking over and over is the difference between success and failure

You will not fail in the field of affiliate marketing, if you make sure that you follow all these steps closely.

But they are also vital for running a business, whether or not the business needs new loans or new investments. Businesses need plans to optimize growth and development according to priorities.

Business plans may be internally or externally focused. Externally focused plans target goals that are important to external stakeholders, particularly financial stakeholders. They typically have detailed information about the organization or team attempting to reach the goals.Internally focused business plans target intermediate goals required to reach the external goals. They may cover the development of a new product, a new service, a new IT system, a restructuring of finance, the refurbishing of a factory or a restructuring of the organization.

Internet marketing for small business may include a variety of different tools, depending primarily on the type of business that you are in or want to be in. The Internet marketing explained in this article attempts to cover most of the bases, by looking at a variety of different businesses.

Retailers
Internet marketing for small business owners that sell products on their websites is typically referred to as e-commerce. If you are just starting out, you can purchase software that allows you to set up your own site. Or, you can look at other merchant solutions. Yahoo, for example, provides design tools and hosting to allow you to sell your products online.

When you see Internet marketing explained, you will often see tips about how to drive business to your site. Often this revolves around search engine rankings. There are ways to make the most of the search engines, either by advertising on results pages or using popular search terms on your pages.

Independent Professionals
Internet marketing for small business professionals, such as painters, writers, lawyers and real estate agents requires a lead generating website. The sole purpose of the site is to increase the client base. Visitors will be asked to leave an e-mail address or call-back number.

Insurance agents often use this type of website. They offer you a free quote online, but in order to get it, you need to provide your e-mail address or phone number.

Internet marketing explained to these professionals would still include the need to drive business to the website. If you know who your potential clients are, you can figure out what they would type into a search box and advertise accordingly. You might offer a free newsletter or download, in order to get their e-mail address. Once you have that, you may have a new client.

Website Publisher
For those that are just thinking about Internet marketing for small business purposes, they may not yet have decided what they could sell or what services they could offer. A website publisher is often a person that makes money only by selling ad space on his or her website. It takes some Internet savvy, but this can become a successful business.

If you had this type of Internet marketing explained by Mark Zuckerberg, founder of the social website called Facebook, he might not be able to explain the website’s success. Most of us look in wonder at the popularity of that site. One of the things that we see is simplicity. If a site is user friendly, it will attract more business.

Affiliate Marketer
An affiliate marketer is someone that builds a website that links to another, where a product or products are sold. Through a specific link, the parent company keeps track of sales generated by the site and a commission is paid for each sale. People like the idea of affiliate marketing, because there is little or no investment and no need to stock items.

Those are just the basics of Internet marketing for small business.

Essentially, every businessperson needs a website and a method for driving traffic to it.

Face time is always important when it comes to real estate Internet marketing!

Piggyback onto another website and offer to write helpful blogs. Other websites love free content, and you love free exposure on the Internet, so everyone makes out in the deal.

Social media is where its at, so if you dont have a presence on one or more of the social media sites, like Facebook and Twitter, you are missing out big when it comes to real estate Internet marketing. We like social media sites because they are a relaxed, casual atmosphere that will allow you to interact with buyers, sellers and other professionals in your field. Potential clients can ask you any number of questions, and you can learn from, and offer advice to, other real estate professionals. In short, spending just a few minutes during your day on social media sites can really do wonders for your real estate Internet marketing efforts.

Take the time to personally answer your emails every day, as this form of Internet communication is still tops with most buyers and sellers.

The person sending you the email may very well be your next client or referral!
