Step By Step Affiliate Marketing Is The Key

March 23, 2012 By 1 Comment

step by step affiliate marketing walkthroughYou’re here because you want to learn about affiliate marketing.  It’s because of affiliate marketing I was able to leave my stressful job in 2008.  I now enjoy working in the comfort of my own home. 

I’ll be honest I LOVE my lifestyle and I LOVE affiliate marketing.

What is affiliate marketing exactly?

Affiliate marketing is essentially promoting someone else’s products and/or services and earning a commission.  As an affiliate you basically act as a 3rd party in promoting these items.

What items can be affiliate products?

 

 

ANY!  In fact, many of the biggest retailers have affiliate programs including but not limited to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Staples and Bow flex, just to name a few.  There are thousands of online merchants with affiliate programs in fact.  Plus, new niche markets pop up every single year.

Where do you find these merchants?

You find these online merchants in Free Affiliate Networks.  These networks look for people like us who are interested in promoting products we can earn commissions off of.

The amount of commissions you can earn can vary greatly from merchant to merchant.  Some merchants pay you anywhere from 10-20%, while others can pay 50% or more.

How do you get paid by these merchants?

The networks collect the money and pay you.  They will pay you either directly into your bank account, into a Paypal account or send you a check.  You can also do this in nearly every single country.

Here’s the step by step explanation.

In order to get started in making money online this way you need to do the following.

Research – You’ll need to find a niche market that you can get into and earn money in.  I set up a series of free training videos at my site for free affiliate marketing training if you’ve never tried this, start there.

Build a website – Relax, it’s easy.  It’s not like it was many years ago where you had to actually know how to ode everything.  Now everything is done with a WYSIWYG editor, which stands for What You See Is What You Get.

This allows you to build a website using free templates, without having any prior experience.  I also give some pointers about building a website based on a topic or a product here.

It’s important to write good content on your website so that it will attract sales and attention from visitors.

Add affiliate products or pay per click programs – Once you start building your website you can start adding affiliate products to our webpages.  Anytime someone buys one of these through you, you earn money.  Pay per click programs like Google AdSense will actually pay you per click when a visitor clicks your ad.

Drive traffic – Now you’ll want to start sharing your website with the entire Internet.  You can do this in many ways including with online article directories, social sites like Facebook and Twitter, in various forums, answer sites, and more.

You will start rising in the search engines, like Google, for your relevant keywords that people search for and ultimately start making sales through your website as visitors start coming in.

This is of course a much abbreviated step by step affiliate marketing walkthrough.  It’s impossible to do it justice inside of a simple blog post but if you’re interested in getting started I offer two ways to do this.

Make $1000 In A Week….

January 11, 2012 By 17 Comments
1000 in a week

 

I tend to get a lot of questions that ask questions about making X amount of money in X amount of time.  The interesting way this is usually termed is like this:

“How Can I Make $1000 In A Week?” and sometimes it’s stated “Per Week.”

My answer is:

Affiliate Marketing.  Affiliate marketing is basically promoting someone else’s product or service and earning a commission anytime someone buys this product or service through you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem for some people is they then realize that, like everything, it isn’t done with magic and it actually takes work to start making $1000/week.

The great thing about affiliate marketing is that it can be done at home, you need no prior experience and all you need is a laptop or desktop computer and a small website.

So instead of asking “How much work does this take?”  The people who are really ready to make money online ask “How do I get started?”

If you’re not a member of my Free course titled Unleashing Your Success and I’ll teach you how to get started step-by-step…..

Now, before you head out to get started I want you to have the right mindset.

This doesn’t happen over-night and it will take some time to build up to where you are making $1000 per week.  However, many people are making hundreds-of-thousands and many are making millions with affiliate marketing.  Even sites like Amazon have affiliate programs that you can make money with so you can see this is a pretty big deal.

Your work ethic and determination will set you apart from the crowd.  If you work hard, focus and ask questions you have a higher chance of success than someone who learns and then does nothing with that knowledge.

Just remember once you start, stick with it and see it trough.

Are Your Web Pages Optimized?

October 1, 2011 By 3 Comments

Are your web pages optimized?

If not you’re probably missing out on a lot of sales or ad clicks.

The better your site is optimized the better your results are.

However, even looking inside of Niche Blitzkrieg’s website review section one thing we see often is websites not living up to their potential simply because their optimization is poor.

Good optimization means….

*Having your keywords in the title and header of your web site

*Using your keywords and related words on the web page itself

*Not over using the keywords (be at the optimal level of keyword density)

*Adding in an occasional H1 H2 and H3 tag on your pages (you can do this through your dashboard in WordPress on the post/page editor

*Using “alt” tags on images (remember search engines can’t read images only text… so you need to tell the search engines what your images are about

*Using the occasional bolded, italics and underline keywords

See all of these things help you organically rank in the search engines.  This is how websites with less backlinks can often outrank websites with many more backlinks.  It’s because search engines see well optimized websites as more “important” for their topic than websites poorly optimized.

 

One thing I use to optimize my web pages and posts for my niche sites

is a new cool (check it out right here).  <<==== I highly recommend this…

 

This tool checks all the parameters I mentioned above and does it in about 5-10 seconds….

It’s cheap and easy to use and affordable.  It’s a simple tool that you simply install on your computer and at any time you want you can check any of your webpages/posts out and see if they need anything optimized.  It will tell you what you’re pages/posts are missing and you simply just need to correct anything in RED. 

If you can’t afford the tool or just don’t want to spend the money right now, you at least need to manually check the things I mentioned above.  Make sure you’re doing them and your sites WILL rank better in the long term.

Ranking higher in the search engines provides more visibility to your site and the more visible your site is, the more money you are likely to make.

Are You Setting Yourself Up To Succeed –- Or Just Hoping?

August 19, 2011 By 4 Comments

This is a serious question and one I have to ask.  It’s also one that you need to understand if you are going to become an online success story.  Let me explain.

Often I hear from people who are just about to join my Niche Blitzkrieg course or have just joined it and they’ll say something like “Well, I hope this makes me money!” or “I hope this works.”

I’ll be honest I simply cringe anytime someone says one of those, or similar phrases to me.  The reason that phrase bothers me is because that’s the exact opposite of my mindset when I came into the whole Internet making money thing we’re doing here.

My mindset coming in was “I’m going to put all of my free time into this and make it happen.  I’m not going to fail and I am going to quit my job.”  This is the mindset of champions, those who will succeed and those who have the best chance at success.

I absolutely hate the word “hope” and that’s because I believe we can control much of our own success.  Aside from hope the next thing that will absolutely cause complete failure is just not trying.  It’s pretty obvious but if you’re not going to do anything you’re not going to make money and even “hope” can’t help you there.

You need to come in with a clear mind and understanding that there is a lot of money to be made online.  With so much money out in the Internet world, there is no reason for you to not make money online.  That last statement is especially true if you come in and just tell yourself you’re going to make money and you’re going to do this online thing and make I happen.

I know this post isn’t long but I wanted to share this wisdom with you today.  I share this because I feel like people sometimes assume making money online is luck and as you can probably tell I don’t believe luck has anything to do with it.

Let me know what you think below!
