1. Avoid affiliate marketing scams by doing some research before choosing an affiliate. Companies that charge you to be an affiliate are not reputable, nor are companies that require you to buy its product before becoming an affiliate. Doing a quick Google search of potential affiliates can save you from scams.

2. Create a short e-book and post it on document sharing sites. By doing this you can show off your expertise, but you can also attract visitors and prospective buyers who are looking for similar information, to your site . Be sure to include a number of links to your site inside the document.

3. Use ranking tools and software to research what works for your audience. Find out what ads and pages are gaining you customers. If a particular ad is not sending any traffic to your affiliate then get rid of it and try something new. Affiliate marketing requires constant tweaking to get to maximum effectiveness.

4. Once you are making a decent amount of money, you should think about asking for more money from the program that you joined. If you generate enough sales and use good marketing techniques, the program will do everything they can to keep you working for them and give you a raise.

5. To maximize the money you make from your affiliate marketing program make sure that you present your information cleanly. You want to focus on the content and the advertising, not distracting your readers with other items to focus on. Ask yourself if you need each component and get rid of the ones that do not make you money.

6. To maximum your affiliate marketing profits, work with a variety of retailers who sell similar products. You should aim to promote anywhere from 3 to 4 different retailers on your site. This gives you data on how affiliates compare to each other, and also gives your readers options. Try rotating the merchants you work with to find out which ones are best for you.

7. The best affiliate marketing partners to work with are those that provide copious communication with their webmasters. Affiliates that have established robust customer service and feedback systems are easier to work with than fly-by-night advertisers. Partnering with affiliates that have plenty of support available will cut down on the hassle website owners have to go through to make affiliate marketing pay off.

8. To gain the trust of readers you are marketing to, only promote quality products. When a reader sees you promoting products known to be good, they will find it easier to believe what you say about products they’re unfamiliar with. Promoting quality products will also encourage readers to listen to your opinion in the future.

9. Successful affiliate marketing is all about building relationships. Be sure to join blogs and forums having to do with the product that you wish to promote. Make comments frequently and if you are allowed, include links to your website. You can make valuable contacts and build powerful alliances by identifying and befriending others who share your enthusiasm for your product.

10. To find a good affiliate marketing opportunity, you should look for great products. If the products or offers used do not meet satisfying quality standards, your marketing strategy will definitely not have a good effect on customers and reflect a bad image of your company. A good product will get you some attention from customers.

11. Your prospective visitors should be able to find your affiliate website easily. Come up with a catchy name people can easily memorize. The name should refer to the products your merchant offers, so your site only attracts prospective customers interested in your merchant’s merchandise. Don’t use foreign or hard to spell words because they will make it harder to find your site.

Following the launch of my article writing service, I thought it was a good time to share my top article writing tips with you.

With all the upheaval and buzz about the Google changes with the so called farmer update, how should you make sure your article marketing remains as effective as it was in the past?

The good news is many of us have already been producing content like this for some time. However  here is my four point article marketing strategy to make sure you succeed.

Article marketing tips – The anatomy of an effective article and what to do with it.

1. The article:

You can write your own, or get one written using a good article writing service.

Length - At least 400 words but no longer than 700 words. This ensures maximum quality score from Google, and your reader will get as far as your all important link.

Keyword density - 1 to 1.5%.  (Put your keyword in title, plus first, and  last,  paragraph is usually sufficient though.)

Error free - No spelling or grammar mistakes. If you are not writing in your native language or find this difficult get it proof read.

Quality – Make it an enjoyable for your reader, give them a reason to click our link to read more.

Unique – It goes without saying it should be your own words and not copied, however you should make sure you post unique versions wherever you post.

2. Distribution:

Post your article onto your site first. Then rewrite it and post this unique version to a top directory.  I suggest ezinearticles.com or streetarticles.com.

TIP: A fast way to rewrite your article is to split it into a series of sub headings.  Then without reference to your original, write the content in  a unique way. Imagine you are explaining each point to a friend over a cup of coffee. This also ensures your article reads naturally due to this conversational tone. Not referring to the original will naturally lead to a unique version every time.

You can also use a good article spinner, I recommend the aptly named “The Best Spinner“, an article spinner if used correctly can produce a good original article from your seed article at the press of a button. There are some great free videos available at thebestspinner.com if you need more information on article spinning.

3. Build some Back-Links:

Once your article is approved then build links to your page and the article.

Start with social bookmarking and web 2.0  sites like Twitter, digg , facebook, and others. Here is a list of some of the better ones.

http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php

Another top tip is to join a site called amplify.  Once you have set up your account you can post links to many sites, including all the twitter accounts you may have, with the click of a button, and its free.

http://amplify.com/

Now on to other sites and blogs.

Most people allow comments on their blogs and if you can find blogs relevant to yours that you can comment on, it will build up your link juice quite quickly.  These are the searches that you would put into http://www.Google.com:

site:.com inurl:blog + “post a comment” + your niche
site:.org inurl:blog + “post a comment” + your niche
site:.net inurl:blog + “post a comment” + your niche
site:.info inurl:blog + “post a comment” + your niche


What these URL’s are searching for is pages with “post a comment” on sites within that specific domain category (.com, .org, .net, .info) that are also in relation to the topic of
your niche.

TIP: You could get crafty here and try different domain extensions (.biz, .ca, etc) to yield a wider range of relevant blogs.

Once you find a blog within the Google search results, you want to post a comment on one of the pages/posts that allow comments.

Step 2: Add your comments with care

The next step in the process is to add a comment to the blog that will link to your site.  The key to a successful comment is to offer something that is relevant, engaging and helpful.   Link dropping through a spammy comment will not work as most comments go through a moderation process before they are approved (as they do on your site as well).

Let’s say the blog post was about “marketing on clickbank”.  You just so happen to have a page on your website that is relevant to this.

You would then want to make a comment that is relevant to the post.  Leave your domain name within the “Website URL” as well as within the content.


—————

Name: Your Name
Website: Your website link to our page
Comment: I absolutely love your post about the proper techniques to market on clickbank.  Over the years I have found that people have put too much emphasis on gravity and how much the commission is versus how relevant the product is to your content.   I mean, that is what converts right.

The formula that I have found works best is aiming for a product that pays over $10 (min) commission, has a quality website (you will want to verify this first) and that has over 10 gravity…this indicates that some people are selling it.   Don’t fret about the product, understand your niche and deliver them the most relevant Clickbank product.

Cheers,

Your Name

Your link to your site page
—————
*Note offer VALUE within the comment.  The blog owner will be much more likely to approve your comment if you take this approach.

Step 3: Adding your blog link to authoritative sites

Google views authority like education and government sites as highly valuable (in terms of search rankings).  They also have the underlying belief that if you have back-links coming from education and government portals, blogs, or websites, your website must carry a high importance too.

The following are the Google Searches that you would enter to find authority sites that are blogs that allow comments:
site:.edu inurl:blog + “post a comment” + your niche
site:.gov inurl:blog + “post a comment” +
your niche

You can do the exact same thing on education blogs as you did with your other blogs in the last step.  Find relevant blogs with the .edu or .gov domain extension and post comments on them, dropping a link to your URL.

4. More Articles:

Take your seed article and rewrite it four more times. Submit it to four of the directories below.

It is important that you submit articles to high Page Rank, “Do Follow” Article Directories:

“Do Follow” means that the article directories allow spiders to “follow” their links.  This is required for it to count as a back-link and only certain article directories offer this.  For instance, articlesbase.com doesn’t allow them whereas ezinearticles.com and streetarticles.com do allow them.

Here is a good list of article directories that you can submit your articles to and get back-links:

Once the four are approved build back-links to each using the same procedure in 3 above.

Once you have done it once go back and do it again and again. This quality article technique will bring floods of targeted traffic directly from the links you place in the articles and from the search engine placement it brings to your site. Remember if you need quality articles written by me not some outsourced writer try my new article writing service. You can use this for unlimited unique versions using the best spinner.

Enjoy the traffic, as always I welcome your comments and questions below.

 


If you are involved in the online marketing business, unless you have been on a deserted island, or off the planet, you can’t have avoided all the buzz about the Google search algorithm change.

The god of the internet spoke and there was panic all over the place. Even big sites felt the effects. However none of my seventy plus sites saw one iota of change in their position, many actually went higher because of the change.

The internet is still fairly new.  I have seen it compared to the wild west. This is a good analogy.  Just like the old west, the internet was a lawless dangerous place where people would do anything to win.

Some people spent their time online trying to game the system. Buying junk traffic, buying back-links on sites that have no relation to their sites subject and writing short spamming articles. Then submitting the same one all over the internet. Well the law had to step in at sometime, and it did in the form of the dominant search engine Google.

In my opinion things have to change, the crap has to go. Just like you don’t see people shooting each other in the street in western USA anymore, the wild west of the internet needs cleaning up.

Loads of people have called foul, but these were the ones distributing the rubbish in the first place. Some of their businesses have disappeared overnight.

The reason  I wasn’t worried is that for years now I have made my sites with one thing in mind, that is each one should add value to the internet and be unique.  Surprise surprise it worked out great.

confession time: When I started out seriously trying to make money on the net back in 2006 I wrote some rubbish. You may be reading this thinking yeah and you still do.  OK you are entitled to your opinion, but at least now its rubbish I wrote myself  so it is unique ;) I also promoted things I had no knowledge of, the only thing that concerned me was the payout!

My turning point came when I started to look at my websites from the visitor point of view. I asked myself  if I was searching for what this site is targeted at would I be happy to have found this site, often the answer was no.  Something had to change.

So I started writing good informative copy instead of sales pitches. I purged my sites of duplicate content. Plus I stopped promoting anything until I had seen the product, or has used it myself.  I basically decided to help instead of exploiting people for a quick payout.

Surprise surprise something changed! My rankings started to go up, my traffic started to go up, and even though I had stopped giving the hard sell my sales went up too. Plus people who bought what I recommended where happy and came back to my sites again.

What can you learn from this? Simply this, craft your websites with care, add value to your visitors experience, and be unique. Do this in both the stuff you write for your website, and also the stuff you write for the article directories, and you will succeed.

PROVIDING VALUE = HAPPY SITE VISITORS = SALES

As always your comments are very welcome.

 


Today I want to talk about scaling your success.

As an affiliate marketer you have lots of jobs to do, web design, writing copy, writing articles, researching keywords, the list goes on. You can’t be good at all of them, and if one task associated with your business is giving you trouble, either because of time or ability or even if you just don’t like doing it, then you should out-source it.

I am sure you probably know this, but you probably thought the expense would be too high. I recently found his site its called fiverr.com, and on it people will do all sorts of things and for a fixed price, yep you guessed it $5. Take a look, you could get all your marketing tasks done for jut a few five dollar notes. There are some live gigs below.

The other great thing is if you are just starting out on your affiliate marketing career you can make money there too. You can do almost anything and get paid $4 for doing it, the site keeps $1.

Here is another tip, if you sell stuff you create yourself in your business, why not post a related “gig” for $5? Even if you only break even you can always use fiverr to build a contact list that you may be able to sell higher priced items too, after you have done the initial job.

Be careful when you do this, and only approach the client once. Make sure it is a related item or service to the one they bought, present it as a deal you are giving to them, “as a satisfied client.” Never spam them, or offer unrelated stuff, or you may get reported and loose your fiverr account.

Still it is a great way to scale your business or make money.

 

I just found this site, and it is absolutely free! You can easily build 25 UNIQUE backlinks to your pages every day with the push of a button.

I was skeptical too, but it is true, I joined four days ago and used it on one site that I recently created, and I am already seeing an increase in its rankings for five key phrases.

This is what they say on the site:

Create 25 inbound links every single day – FREE
All links are on UNIQUE C Class IPs and Domains!

Dramatically increase your number of backlinks
For better search engine indexing, rankings and traffic!

Increased online exposure and traffic for your site
For tons of targeted traffic, more leads and sales!

There is an upgrade option that provides 100 backlinks 3 times per day. As you know I don’t recommend anything I don’t use myself.

I am using the free service, and it is too early to tell if it is doing any good. Like I said I have seen increase in rankings, is it worth upgrading? only time will tell.

I am passing on this info because I thought you would like to know. 25 free backlinks per day for literally 5 minutes work is worth signing up for.

Here is the sign up link for you

 


Urgent News: If you hurry, you can get full access to Wealthy Affiliate for $1. For your $1 FULL ACCESS 7-day trial click here. If you missed our LIVE Webinar on Tuesday you can watch a recording here. During this Walk Through of the Wealthy Affiliate University you will See the system in detail that has helped 10′s of thousands of members achieve success online. Don’t forget the $1 trial ends on the 8th March!

What can you achieve with the 7 day trial

When you join the trial, you will get instant access to the “Success in 30 Days” club…which is a feature exclusive to new members that are taking part in the trial.

I want to explain something to you though. First I want to define what “success” is in the online world and explain what sort of things you will be able to accomplish in the next 7 days, let alone the next 30.

What is success…really, WHAT IS SUCCESS?

Is it completely monetary? You may be nodding your head. I want to break this habit of yours though.

Is earning money at work during a 9-5 job each day a success? For some maybe, but I know from experience I did not feel successful when I had to answer to a boss…

Is earning $1 online a success? For some maybe…but there is a much bigger picture than that. Earning your first bit of money online will come with a little effort, however you cannot solely base your success off of this.

Is building a website that gets traffic a success…and it being in a niche something that you are interested in…is that a success? I think we are getting closer to the real answer here.

Having a tangible asset that you can work with, grow, and earn money through is what success derives from. A success is not a dollar amount, rather the way in which you generate that.

Your goal should be to create “something special” (which WA will teach you) online and then generate revenue from that. It should not be about throwing out some random dollar amount and determining that is the point of success. Trust me first hand, whenever you reach a dollar figure that you thought was a success, the excitement of it vanishes when you reach it.

Building something and growing it is a success.

So, what will you be able to accomplish in the next 7 days at Wealthy Affiliate?

(1) You will research, find and decide on YOUR niche(s)
(2) You will own your very own domain and website
(3) You will set-up your very first website
(4) You will get rankings in Google
(5) You will write an article, submit it and create web pages on your very own website
(6) You will start getting traffic to your site

YES, all this in the next 7 days. That is part of the plan we have cut out for you in the “Success in 30 Days” club that you are automatically enrolled in (for no extra charge) when you join WA through the trial!

What about in the next 30 days? What can you expect?

A full fledged website that is getting traffic, has an associated value (likely worth well over $100), has several pages, has several back-links, has several articles linking to it, and could be sold. Not to mention that there is a good chance that you have made a sale or two at this point!

That is within 30 days. From SCRATCH!

Imagine the progress you could make within a year. Actually, I will help you imagine the progress you could make within a year.

-10+ niche related websites
-$10,000’s in affiliate earnings
-$1,000’s in other revenue
-sites with extraordinary value (that could be sold with ease)
-a list of subscribers and “buyers”
-a intimate knowledge of Internet marketing
-a fully scalable business that you could grow as big as you want!

I just wanted to get some major points across about success and what you can achieve in just the next 7 days for spending $1.

Finding your niche in any market involves a lot of self brainstorming. One of the easiest ways I have found is to start with a general area in which you already have a passion, or at least some have pre-existing knowledge.

It could be a hobby, or your job, or even something you have a qualification in.

I know what you are thinking, Why should I limit myself in this way there are lots of niches out there.

I say showing real knowledge is one way of engaging with your visitor, and showing true passion is another! This will naturally lead to sales from your offers, or opt ins to your list.

Plus if you have passion you are much more likely to keep going and not give up if success does not come instantly.

I know this from personal experience, I have lot of websites out there targeting many niches, (at last count 74,) most are very successful, however the ones I have found the most success with are my make money online niche sites, my cooking or food sites, my learn to fly sites, and my green living sites.

This is because i love this business, and love teaching it to others, i am a keen amateur cook, my main passion is flying and i have my private pilots license and i am fascinated with solar power and solar panels possibly because my degree is in physics.

So you can see, if i am writing articles or website content, I nearly always choose one of these sites. This is because I enjoy it, and I find it a lot easier too. This also leads to more traffic and more success, its a natural process.

Don’t get me wrong you can find success in niches that you have no knowledge in or no passion for. I just think if you are starting out you give yourself more chance by sticking to what you know and love, at least initially.

One last point if you are really stuck for a niche to attack, then if you join wealthy affiliate as part of your membership you have access to WA nicheQ (you can also get a free copy of niche hunting strategies by visiting this link, it’s well worth a read).

Each month  inside nicheQ you will receive a well researched niche free of charge, each include website templates and keywords, plus articles and an e-book that you can use as an incentive for list building or a product you sell, all have full private label rights.

As always your comments and feedback is welcome.

 

I am going to make a bold statement today. I don’t know you, the only thing I do know about you for certain is that you are interested in making money online, and you are incredibly smart and intelligent (well you came to this site didn’t you ;) .)

Having established that I know little to nothing about you, I do know for certain you can have a successful business online.

So how do you go about starting your successful business.

You need only three things.

1. A computer (and internet access.)

2. The ability to type (one finger is fine.)

3. Desire to change your life.

You also need to do the following things:

1. Sign up for my MAD marketing course  (In the RH margin of this page) —->

2. Take action (follow the step by step course, at your own pace.)

3. Don’t give up, keep at it and you will succeed.

Put your credit card away this is a totally free deal.

People say there is no such thing as a free lunch, and they are right you will not be getting lunch, what you will get is the knowledge you need to start your own internet business.

To your success.

P.S. Leave your questions, comments, success stories below.

 

Ok I am annoyed, it makes me upset and a little angry when people pray on the vulnerable in our society.

I am an online marketer, plus I am quite successful at it, however it makes me sad that this great way of making money attracts sharks, con artists, and people out to make a fast buck at the expense of others.

I put this website together to help people who are looking to make a living on the internet succeed, because it IS possible, and anyone can do it.

You can do a lot worse if you are looking to start in this business than taking the FREE MAD marketing course I put together, by signing up over on the right —–>.

Today however I just wanted to get a few things off my chest.

First:

I want to get one thing straight. It is possible for anyone to make money online. There are no SECRETS or MAGIC TRICKS, however there are lots of proven techniques you should use. You will find a lot of them on this site ;)

Second. It is going to take work:

Treat your efforts  like a serious business. If you want to make full time income you should spend full time hours on your business. That is not to say if you work in a J(ust) O(ver) B(roke) full time, you can’t start out spending just a few hours a day and start to make money, because you can. You can always leave your JOB when you become successful.

I don’t know you, but I do know If you follow these tips and you will succeed.

1. Provide value to the internet - This means no duplicate content or spam. Everything you write, and every website you publish should have value, and deliver something useful to your visitor.

2. Take action - Work on your business daily, set up a regular time to write articles or work on your website and stick to it.

3. Don’t give up - Keep at it! It is unlikely that you will see success straight away, but the more content you have on line the more chance you have of making sales and income.

4. Set Goals, and Make Lists of Tasks you Must complete - If you have no direction or path to follow, you will wander around aimlessly and never get anywhere. So sit down before you start, and decide what you want to acheive.

Third.  Don’t buy Rubbish, or Fall For Scams:

There is an awful lot of garbage on the internet, luckily for you, I have bought my share of it, and I am going to tell you how you can avoid it.

As with any business you need to get information and training. If you have looked around my site you will gather that I recommend the Wealthy Affiliate University, I can honestly say my decision to join back in 2009 was the turning point in my online career, however I have a sure fire way of weeding out the rubbish from the jewels of any Internet marketing training you may come across.

First if you are a member, you can search, or ask,  about the product you have found on the Wealthy affiliate forum.

If you are not a member, you can ask me about it. If you join my mailing list (in the right hand side margin), and hit reply on any of my emails, you can ask me the question, or indeed any question, and I will answer it to the best of my ability. Plus by joining my list you get the free MAD marketing course (shameless plug sorry).

If none of the above float your boat, then I recommend you join the Warrior forum (its free,) and search on there for the product you are considering, I promise  you will get a straight answer. If you don’t find an answer then you can use the forum to ask the other members.

There was a time when you could just search on Google and find a review of the product, but there are so many marketers producing fake reviews for any product on the market, you just can’t trust them anymore.

The key is to beware, and remember if it looks too good to be true, it probably is :)

I hope you found something of help on this page, I really do want anyone that wants to be a success on the internet, succeed in their endeavors. Plus if I can remove a few of the scumbags peddling rubbish in the process so much the better.

To your success   Tony
