Make Money Online | Make Money Online Marketing Strategies for Affiliate Marketing Profits

The worst mistake you can make as an online marketer is to send your prospects directly to your affiliate marketing site via your advertising. You are NOT maximizing your profit potential and you are, in fact, leaving 75 - 80% of your commissions on the table for someone else.

If you have a company site (affiliate) or a "selling system" site that is owned by someone else (NOT a site you personally built or own) and ... that site offers visitors the opportunity to join a list thereby capturing that visitor's contact info and ... you are spending YOUR time and/or money driving traffic to that site ... YOU are making one of the biggest mistakes a marketer can make while trying to make money online because ...

You are GIVING 75 - 80% of your potential income to someone else by building THEIR list with YOUR money and effort! And ...

You may have heard this before ...

The MONEY is in the LIST!

THEY will be able to repeatedly mail those visitors (who join their list) offers - profit pulling offers - that make THEM money thanks to YOUR efforts and monetary investment to drive traffic to THEIR site - building THEIR list.

WHY would you WANT to do that?

You don't right?

And that's EXACTLY why ...

YOU need your own website.

Now, I am not talking about a huge ecommerce site with thousands of product pages ...

I'm talking about learning how to build a site that is simply ONE page. ONE page that is designed to do ONE thing - gather the contact information of your prospects.

The type of site or page I am talking about is called a "lead capture" or "squeeze" page. And it has ONE purpose. To gather your prospects name and email, maybe their phone number or some other info you'd like to have so that you can have the opportunity to send them offers - like - whatever it is you are trying to market online.

Let me point out a few things:

1) I am NOT a talented webmaster
2) I have NO knowledge of html.
3) I had NObody to TEACH me
4) If I can do it you can

By following tutorials ( a good website builder will have easy directions on how to use it) I was able to build a site (now I have quite a few) that I directed prospects to, FIRST, before I sent them to an affiliate site or sales system page. In other words I build MY list FIRST by getting my prospects contact info BEFORE I send them to an affiliate site and it is well worth it.

Let Website Wizard turn you into a high-earning affiliate champion!

Here are the reasons WHY it is definitely worth building your own "lead capture" page or pages:

1) Rapport. You'll have the chance to send them emails that build rapport and trust. In most cases, about 97% of the time ... If someone doesn't like and trust you they won't buy anything from you.

2) You're the expert. Having your own "system" which includes a lead capture page or pages and email follow-up system creates an image. Your image as an expert. They see you as someone different than the average run-of-the-mill online hawker. They see you as an expert in your field, someone worthy of trust; an affiliate marketing professional.

3) Opportunity. You'll have the opportunity to send them offers, as often as you wish, on as many products that are relevant to the list they joined ... until they either die or unsubscribe.

Is this making sense to you?

The next thing you need is an autoresponder.

An autoresponder is a piece of software that is like having an inexpensive employee that works for you 24/7 and 365 days per year. It never gets sick, asks for time off or a raise. It gathers prospect data and sends out your follow up emails at predetermined intervals. You could actually be at the beach or playing golf while this hard working employee continues to charismatically persuade your prospects to take your offers.

When your system (lead capture page website and autoresponder follow up) are up and cranking out sales you could take a couple days and go fishing, come home, like I did, and be surprised with 33 new sales from a $29 ebook that earned me $440.55 in commissions. And, that was just ONE of my lists. And get this ...

It was ALL profit because that list has been built using free targeted traffic. That's right ... that list cost me NOTHING to build. In fact, I still build that list with free targeted traffic.

Here's a very, very good autoresponder I have used

This is MY favorite autoresponder and I use it EVERY day.

Either one you choose will work incredibly well for you.

Ok ...

Get your website building software and your autoresponder and get them up and cranking out the sales! The more you procrastinate the more money you lose!

There are basically two ways to get website traffic (when I use the term website here I am talking about your own Squidoo lens or blog). You can either buy your targeted traffic or you can get it for free. Both methods work and although the easiest way to drive traffic to your site is to just buy it through PPC (pay per clcik) for us folks with no money or marketers with no experience it's a poor choice because you can spend a fortune buying website traffic and still not be guaranteed any real results. So...

If you are starting your business on a "shoe string" budget the best way is to use free traffic strategies.

Here are some of the best to get you started...

1. Use the free traffic generators found on this lens (you'll see a link " Free Targeted Traffic Generators" in the "Links" section.

2. Use Blog Comments. Find blogs related to your topic and leave useful comments with a backlink to your site. Do Google search: Topic + Blog

3. Answer Questions. Answer questions related to your site's topic at answers.yahoo.com. Be sure to put a link to your site in each of your answers.

4. Join Forums. Join a handful of the most popular forums that deal with your site's topic and become an active poster. Include a link to your site in your signature.

5. Write testimonials. If you are happy with a product or service you have used, write an unbiased testimonial and trade it for a back link to your site.

6. Start a blog on blogger.com and a blog on wordpress.com, if you don't have them, link them to your site (Squidoo lens) and submit them to the hundreds of free blog directories. This will get you plenty of quality traffic as long as you keep your blogs updated with fresh relevant content.

7. Post ads with a link to your site on all the free classified ad sites you can find, such as craigslist.org. The best ones will allow you to post a live link. But don't neglect the other ones. If your ad is well written, people will go out of their way and type your url into their browser. Of course you must post in the appropriate category.

8. Use email signatures. Write an interesting email signature that includes a link to your site, and use it with every outgoing business email you send.

9. Use Social Networking sites. Start a page on MySpace, Facebook, or any other high page rank social book-marking site you can find and link them to your site.

10. Write a crap load of articles and use your blog address or squidoo lens address in the bio box. Article marketing does two (2) things for you and your business. The first is that the articles, when submitted to top article directories, will drive loads of free targeted traffic to your page and second the articles help portray you as an expert in your field or niche.

While all this looks like a full time job, remember, you don't have to use them all at once. Just pick the one you feel most comfortable with and start there - now. Invest 30 minutes to an hour daily in building your free traffic. Then, go to your next favorite technique and so on.

I'm not going to tell you that you'll be rich next month or in 90 days because it isn't going to happen. But, if you have more time than money, if you have the desire to earn money online and IF you are willing to work you can make money online even if you're broke and don't have a website.

There are programs you can join that are free and require no investment in money but they do require an investment of time. You'll need to do the work.

What will you be doing?

You'll be clicking ads, reading email, completing free offers to earn money and using free traffic generation to promote your site to build a team that will enable you to earn MORE money from their efforts as well. The free traffic generation will also require you to be clicking adds to earn free traffic generation credits.

In other words your whole business will be built upon "sweat equity."

If you noticed I only mentioned one site. You'll only need to promote one site as long as you set up your free money team marketing system.

The Free Money Team System will show you which top quality "paid to click" and "paid to read" programs to join that will enable you to create income every day online through your own efforts and also through referring others to the same programs.
