Online Money Making Gone Wild!

I was once at the beginning stage of starting and running my Online Businesses, (4 of them). It was not smooth sailing for me.

It took a while before saw some solid income rolling in from my Online Business. I was happy, but skeptical, I did not want to jinx anything.

When more and more opportunities and offers poured into my mailbox in forms of Joint Venture Proposals, products ideas, business solutions, and more, I strongly took notice of one particular group of people who mailed me ? the new, budding Internet Marketers.

More and more people, whom have primarily come from my mailing list, began asking me questions such as, ?How to make money online?? You are probably asking that, too.

Personally, I do not see myself as a ?guru?, but I find it very difficult to give a definite answer to such a broad question like that.

For one, there are several ways to make money online. Secondly, what works for me may not work for you or someone else for that matter. I'm not good at writing, you might be. I'm good at copywriting, Surfing the Internet, you might be an expert in graphic designing or programming.

I own an office, commercial office, but most times, I work from home. And in every way, it works for me, more time, flexibility, and much more.

Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.

Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.

What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.

How are referrals from an affiliate's site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.

What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.

Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% - 20% is the commission paid by most programs. .01% - .05% is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the figures, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.

These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.

Once you've written your E-Book, got your Website up and integrated your shopping cart, you can sit back and start waiting for the money to come rolling in, right?

WRONG!

These days it's getting harder than ever before to be able to get people to notice you - and just because "you build it" doesn't mean they're going to come.

So what's an author to do?

Actually, thanks to all the tools that are available to you - including Web 2.0 - marketing your book - and ramping up your sales - is not as hard as you might think.

In fact, here are a few ideas to get your juices flowing. Add them to your sales plan, and use them as a jumping off place to help you make even more sales.

Create a long-term plan before you write even one word of your first book. The truth of the matter is that you're probably never going to get rich from writing one E-book. So before you start writing your first book, start thinking about your second book. And the first product that will tie into your first book. And the second. And then the third.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Come up with as many different income streams as you can and plan to build them into your plan. For example, can you create a workbook from your E-book? What about recording some audio files that go into further details or give more information. What about doing a joint venture with other experts in your industry?

Sell more books at one time. If your book covers any one of a number of popular subjects - self-help or development, home improvement, business, religion - there are probably corporations, organizations or niche markets that are always on the look-out for inexpensive gifts or bonuses for their employees, clients or associates. Your book could be just the ticket. Although you might have to go down in price - what do you think sounds better? Selling one or two books at a time or selling box loads of them?

Once you've built up your credibility as a published author, it's time to take things to the next level. Have you ever dreamed of attending seminars or workshops as a presenter? What about having a speaking career and being flown all over the world speaking to people in your niche market? If you don't like traveling or crowds, consider putting together teleseminars or holding intimate bootcamps.

Create joint ventures. This is the fastest and easiest way to leverage your expertise and start raking in the cash. Find people who are in similar - but not competing industries as yours. Explore ways for you to provide value to both of your customers while you're cross-selling or upselling. For example, if you own a restaurant, what about creating a special Valentine's Day promotion with the local florist. Offer free drinks or desserts to any of the florist's customers who bring in a special card (that you've provided to them) when they come to your restaurant. And your joint venture partner (the florist) gives you roses or carnations that can be given out to any women when their companion gives you the special dessert card. See how simple that is? Real value that makes your customers happy, and builds loyalty and trust - and positions both of you as the first people your customers think of when they need flowers or want a romantic restaurant or a place to eat during a special occasion

When you're just getting starting in Affiliate Marketing, one of the most important things you need to learn about is traffic - specifically what it is and how to get it.

Why?

Because although it's become somewhat of a cliche these days, the truth is, "the money is in the list" - but that means YOUR list, not the list of the people whose products you're selling - at least not if you want to be successful.

Here's why. As an affiliate, your job is to find people who want to buy the products you're promoting, right? So to do that, you need to write an ad (or hire a copywriter to write it for you), and send people to a Website where they can buy the product.

BUT - there's a serious problem with using this method. Do you see what it is?

Anywhere from 60 to 95% of the people you send to the sales page probably aren't going to buy the first time.

1. Most people want to be certain that they're making the right decision, so they usually need to see or hear from you between 5 to 12 times before making a buying decision.

2. If you're paying for the ad and sending people to the seller's Website, the ones who don't buy disappear forever. (And neither you nor the seller will benefit.)

3. Of those who do buy, if you're only sending them to the sales page, YOU still lose them forever because you have no way of knowing who they are.

Here's the solution:

1. Write your ad and send prospects to a well-written squeeze page - YOUR squeeze page. (A squeeze page is a single page Website that has one purpose - to convince prospects to give you their contact information. Squeeze pages should be simple - no flash, no links, and if you use a graphic or photo, keep it simple and make sure it relates to the purpose of the page. How do you convince prospects to give you their contact information? By giving them information that is what they're expecting to find and that's useful to them.)

2. Offer them an incentive to give you their contact information. (This could be a free report, a free newsletter, an audio or video product - just make sure it's related to the niche or affiliate product.)

3. After they've opted in to your autoresponder, send them to your affiliate sales page.

4. Follow up with them on a regular basis - mixing good information, free bonuses from time to time and additional affiliate products.

Lather, rinse, repeat. (Once you're making money from your first affiliate product, move on to the next and then the next and the next.)

The best thing about this is that you can set most of it up on your autoresponder, so you turn it into a "system" and it runs "almost" on autopilot. (There is NO SUCH THING as a business that runs 100% on autopilot - and don't believe anyone who tells you differently.) Any business - real business - takes work and effort. But by setting this system up this way, your autoresponder does the majority of the work, and you will only need to do simple updates and make sure you keep fresh information flowing.

And the Buzz Goes On - How to Use Viral Marketing

Before we get into the meat and potatoes of how you can use viral marketing to help get a buzz going about your small business, let's start with a definition of exactly what "viral marketing" means.

According to the Wikipedia, "Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use preexisting social networks to produce increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet. Viral marketing is a marketing phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a marketing message voluntarily. Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, images, or even text messages."

If you've ever had a hotmail, yahoo or G-mail account, you've participated in a viral marketing campaign every time you sent an email to someone - because the company inserted a small (and usually discreet advertisement) at the bottom of all of your outgoing emails - inviting the people you were communicating with to receive their own free email account.

So how can you put a viral marketing campaign together for your own business - and more importantly, do you even want to?

Let me answer that second question first, okay? YES! You definitely want to take the time to brainstorm your own viral marketing campaign - even if you don't someday want to be as big as hotmail, yahoo or Gmail.

Why? Because according to a recent survey done by Forrester Research, people are almost 65% more likely to trust a review posted by a peer - or even a complete stranger - than they are to trust the marketing or sales information put out by the company.

Don't believe me? Check out Amazon.com and I-tunes. Why is this the case? Because as consumers we tend to think that the average "Joe Blow" has less of a personal agenda when posting his review about the latest "Dixie Chicks" album and so we give it more weight.

And, by the way, this is a normal reaction - it's one that's kind of hard-wired into all of us. People have always shared the things they like - or hate - with their friends and family members. Back in the 50's and 60's, our grandparents used to talk to their neighbors over the "back fence," call each other on the phone or tell their friends during lunch. The difference is, these days we use the Internet and cell phones.

What's interesting though, is that with the popularity of the Internet, our trust - and believe in "social proof" - has become even stronger.

By creating your own viral marketing campaign, you'll be doing more than getting the word out about your new affiliate product. You'll be gathering social proof - and that will help your sales to go through the roof.

So how do you set up your own viral marketing campaign? The first thing to do is to get back to the basics.

Here's the real "secret" to making a lot of money with affiliate products. Have the right product, with the right message to the right people in the right time.

So start with your affiliate product. Make sure that there's a hungry audience for whatever you're selling.

Then make sure that you're sending out the right message - an in the right way. If you're marketing a product to teens, you'll want to make sure that it's something they want - and you'll have to reach them where they're hanging out. That might be on MySpace, twitter or even Friendster.

What's the right message? Maybe it's a special report. But it could just as easily be a video. Or an audio mp3 file. Match your message to your audience. And finally, make sure that you're getting your message out at the right time - when your audience is ready to buy it.

Make your viral marketing campaign stand out from the crowd - because that's how it's going to get passed around and become viral. By understanding the basics - who your audience is, what they want, how they want to get it and when they want it - all you have to do next is to create something that your audience loves - or hates - or finds interesting enough - to pass around to their friends. And because your product comes with an implied endorsement - social proof - those people will pass it around to other people - and the buzz goes on%u2026and on%u2026and on%u2026and you'll start hearing the "ka-ching!" of your cash register going off a lot more often.

Are You Making These Top Three Affiliate Marketing Mistakes?

If you're new to affiliate marketing, there are a few things that you need to know about marketing your affiliate products - because if you get these wrong, chances are, you're never going to make more than a few sales.

Affiliate Marketing Mistake #1: Choosing the Wrong Product

This is a biggie, and probably one of the biggest mistakes that new affiliate marketers make. How do you choose the best affiliate products?

There are several ways. You could choose products based on their popularity (check out clickbank to see what I mean.) Or you could choose products based around your current business. (For example, if you run a business such as a beauty parlor, you could find a number of affiliate products%u2026what about a book on hairstyles for weddings, or proms or braids? Or you could sell a beauty book, or a book on skin care. There are also physical products that you could sell. The point is to look for affiliate products that complement what you're already selling.

You could also choose affiliate products based on how much commission you'll make - but think carefully before choosing this as your top method of deciding what products you want to sell. Finding quality products should always be your top concern - because if the products you're selling are garbage, the end result is that while you might make sales, you're also going to get lots of refund requests - which means you'll end up in the hole.

Affiliate Marketing Mistake #2: Marketing the Product the Wrong Way

We've all seen the ads that say "Make a Million Dollars with No Product and No Website" - those ads are usually about affiliate marketing.

But think about it for a minute. If you could REALLY do that - wouldn't everybody be doing it? That old saying that "if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is" holds true when it comes to affiliate marketing.

The best way to market any affiliate product is to sell it where the customers are. Which means that you need to know who your prospective customers are. You need to find out as much information about them as possible - what they want, what their greatest fears are, what solution they're looking for. Then you need to know where they shop - if your affiliate marketing product is for consumers, then you'll want to know where your prospect shops, what magazines they read or what Internet pages they visit. Where do they hang out? If you're selling to business owners, then you'll have to find out where they do business at. And again, market your affiliate products there.

Affiliate Marketing Mistake #3: Not Writing the Right Kind of Sales Copy

Although it's not absolutely necessary to hire a professional copywriter (especially if you're just starting out and money is tight), it is necessary that you learn the basics about copywriting and write sales copy that will appeal to your market.

One of the first things you need to do is to "Continue the conversation that your prospect is already having inside their head. That means that you need to know what kind of questions your prospect has about your affiliate product - and make sure that you're answering them. Think about what kinds of objections your prospect might have, and find a way of answering them, too.

Add social proof. (This means you want to show that other people have bought the product and love it.) When you're selling affiliate products, the really good marketers will provide you with testimonies that you can use, along with sales copy, email copy, etc. (This is great because it's often been written by a professional copywriter who understands the market.)

However, even if you're given a sales page or email blasts to send out to your list, you don't want to use it word for word. Make a few changes it - give it your own original touch. Make it fresh and original so that your prospect doesn't see the exact same ad somewhere else - you'll lose credibility if that happens.

If you're offering a bonus for someone to buy your affiliate product, make sure that the bonus goes along with the product. Don't give away recipes if you're selling a book about hair care. Make sure your bonus relates to the product and is useful to your prospect. (For example, you could write your own Ebook that tells how to get the most out of the affiliate product. That's something that no one else will be able to sell, because it's yours.

Whatever you do, when it comes to affiliate marketing, it's easy to avoid making the three biggest marketing mistakes just by doing a little thinking and strategic planning before you get started. And the truth is, you can make a very good living just from selling affiliate products, as long as you do it the right way. Good luck!

Ebook Sales and Marketing Tips - Want to Make Money? Give Your Ebook Away!

Okay, that sounds a little contradictory, right? You're probably reading this article to find out how to sell your next Ebook, and I'm telling you to give it away!

But if you'll keep reading for a minute, you'll find out why this could be one of the best Internet Marketing ideas you'll ever try.

Here are 5 tips that will help you to make the biggest ROI (Return on Investment) from giving away a free Ebook.

1. Write a short Ebook about how to get the most out of an affiliate product that you're promoting. Or choose another subject that fits a particular product. Put the link to the product inside the Ebook. Make sure that the information in your Ebook is both interesting and valuable to the reader.

2. Contact the person whose affiliate product you're going to be promoting and offer it to him/her to give away to his list.

3. Contact newsletter publishers and offer to let them give the Ebook away to members of their lists. (Of course, you're going to send everyone to your squeeze page, right?)

4. Put the link to your squeeze page at the bottom of your email signature and on your signature at forums, blogs you post on, etc.

5. Set up JV partnerships with other people who are promoting similar - but not competing products or services and give them the chance to give away your Ebook.

Here are some other ideas to keep in mind when writing your Ebook so that it is perceived as valuable by your target audience and your JV partners.

%u2022 Use screenshots, graphics or photos so you're not only telling your readers "what" to do, but they can see "how" to do it also.

%u2022 If you're not a writer, you can hire someone else to ghostwrite it for you. (Just a hint, don't only go for the cheapest price - otherwise you may as well write it yourself, because the quality will probably be about the same.)

%u2022 Have someone go through it to check for grammar and spelling mistakes.

%u2022 Read it out loud to check that it makes sense and flows smoothly.

%u2022 If you're handy with graphics editing software, create a cover for your Ebook. People will see it as more valuable if it looks like a "real" book. If you're not handy, you can always outsource that.

%u2022 People don't want to read 50 or 60 page reports - everyone is pressed for time. Keep your Ebook short - between 13 and 18 pages is just about ideal. Get rid of the fluff and cut right to the heart of the information that you're giving away.

%u2022 Put the link to your affiliate product in a several different places throughout the book. You never know what one idea is going to spark someone's interest or overcome their last objection and be the deciding factor in them buying your affiliate product.

%u2022 Because your Ebook may go viral (which is the idea) and get passed around in ways you never imagined, put a signup box or link to your squeeze page in the book, to grab new subscribers.

As you can see, sometimes giving something of value away for free is one of the best ways for you to make money. This is one of the best-kept secrets of successful affiliate marketers. Follow it, and you'll soon see your success on the rise as well.

Did you know that according to the World Internet Usage and Population Data that as of there were approximately 1,262,032,697 online as of November 2007?

Stop and think about those numbers for a minute! There are more than 2 billion people online right now%u2026that's pretty amazing, isn't it?

Now think about this for a minute%u2026of those more than two billion people, how many of them have stopped at your Website and/or purchased one of your products or services?

Pretty depressing, right?

But don't let it get you down - because if you take the time to put together an Internet Marketing campaign, you'll stand a much better chance of making connections with a few more of them!

Let's start by looking at the four different stages visitors to your Website go through when they're online. Although they've been classified in different ways, the four basic stages can be described as:

Just looking

Thinking about buying

Ready to buy

Let's start with the first one: Just Looking

People who are in this stage have something on their minds. They want something - usually information - and they're probably not thinking about systematic keywords, or features of a particular product or service. They're probably using very general one or two word searches to get more information about the niche or topic.

The best way to reach a visitor to your Website at this point in the game is simply to provide them with lots and lots of general information. Some ways of doing that would be:

* Writing articles about the topic

* Reviewing different products or services and posting them to your Blog

* Offering a free, informative newsletter about the niche topic

* Doing weekly or monthly Podcasts

* Doing free teleseminars and interviewing experts in the industry, or arranging to be interviewed.

The main thing to remember is to provide lots of broad information. The more questions you can answer for your visitor right now - the more they're going to remember you as they move through the buying cycle - and the more they're gong to perceive YOU as the expert in your industry or niche.

The Second Stage: Thinking about Buying

People who are in this stage of the buying cycle have the information they were looking for. They understand the basics, and now they're starting to look for reasons to justify their purchase - they want to be convinced that they need it!

Something to keep in mind is that the larger and more expensive the purchase is, the more logical reasons you'll need to be able to give them.

So to engage visitors who are thinking about buying, you'll want to provide easy access to all the features of your product or service. If you're selling cameras for example, this is where you'll want to have lots of customer reviews, descriptions of the different benefits and features of the product and answer all the "how to" information.

For example, you'll want to make it easy for someone to find out how they can buy your product or service, how you ship it, how much shipping costs and what your guarantee and return policy is.

You'll want to give them the logical reasons for justifying the purchase at this point. (But don't forget that you need to keep showing them what your product or service is going to do for them at the same time - so be subtle, but push the benefits here too.)

By answering their "how" questions, you'll not only continue moving them through the buying cycle, you'll also help to guarantee that you're the one they're going to want to do business with, because you've shown them how easy - and secure - you've made the buying process.

The Third Stage: Ready to Buy

If you've done your job right, the people who are ready to buy will move quickly and smoothly through your sales process - and come out on the other end as something completely new - your customer!

Here's how to attract visitors who are ready to pull out their credit cards:

You've answered their "what" and "how" questions and they're feeling safe about making an informed decision. So now you want to appeal to your visitor's "emotional" side.

Here's where you start piling on all the benefits and goodies and feelings of urgency!

Make sure you're giving visitors "future pictures" to get them thinking about what your product or service is going to do for them, and how it's going to make them feel.

Here are a couple of concrete examples: If you're selling lawn services, for example, you're not really selling a greener lawn. You're selling pride in yourself, in your home. Becoming the envy of all your neighbors because of your beautiful yard!
Or if you're selling tooth whitener, you're really not selling whiter teeth. You're selling sex appeal, and beauty and being instantly more attractive to the opposite sex. You're appealing to the person's needs to look nice and to have people think that they care about the way they look and feel.

See how easy that is?

When you're piling on the benefits, don't forget to take all the risk off the buyer's shoulders. Offer a rock-solid guarantee - and be very clear about exactly what your guarantee is.

You'll want to add a sense of urgency to the offer - something needs to be time - or quantity-limited. (People hate thinking that they're going to miss out on a bargain.) And add enough - relevant - benefits that your visitor feels like they'd be a complete idiot to miss out on your deal.
That's really all there is to it. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to turn those low-down, internet marketing blues into a "Happy Happy Joy Joy!" song as you watch visitors to your Website - and your sales - hit the high notes!

No matter what business you're in, you can put the Internet to use for you and use it to help build your business and rake in more sales.

The statistics on the number of people online now is mind-blowing. As of November last year, there were over One Billion people online. This gives all of us an incredible opportunity to grow our businesses - to global proportions, if that's what we want.

However, the Internet is not free of pitfalls and obstacles. In fact, if you make the wrong move, you can find yourself in very real danger of losing everything you've worked so hard to build.

Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to using the Internet to market your business:

Create a professional-looking Web presence. These days with all the readily available Website templates, blogs and highly affordable Website designers who can be hired to design a custom Website, there is no excuse for amateurish or poorly built Websites nowadays. Even when you add the cost of Internet access, hosting, buying the right domain name and the cost of having a Website built, starting an online business is affordable to almost anyone - and so even if you run your business from your home, it doesn't have to look that way!

Make sure you do your research. Find a hungry market that is already buying in your chosen niche. Choose a product that your target market wants to buy - the best way to do this is to choose a product or service that meets a need, takes away a pain or solves a problem. Competition is good - but make sure you choose something that gives you a good chance of getting close to the top.

Write a business plan. Even if your business is completely online, a business plan is your roadmap that guides you from where you are right now to where you want to be. Business plans are not just for people who are looking for venture capital or business loans. Include your plans for marketing and selling on the Internet. Be flexible and willing to adjust those plans as needed.

Start with the end in mind. Do you know where you want to be? What are you going into business for? To make a little extra money? To build a business that you can later sell and live on the proceeds? Whatever your reason for going into business for yourself, decide what your ultimate goal is. That way you'll be able to direct your actions towards achieving it. Brainstorm on many different ways that the Internet can help you to achieve your goals.

Create a vision board. Although some people call them hokey or old fashioned. Having a vision for your business can help you stay focused and move towards what you want. Whether you believe in it or not, a vision board can keep you excited and motivated. If you do a Google Search, you'll find so many companies that let you build a vision board online - and will even let you send it to your team, your mentors or other people who matter to you.

Have an action plan. Once you know your long-term plan for your business, it's easier to chunk it down and create short, medium and long term goals that will help you to achieve them. Write down your plan for marketing on the Internet and make sure you take at least one or two actions towards those goals every single day,
Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who will hold you accountable when you need it, give you encouragement and keep you on your toes and stretching beyond where you think you can be. Thanks to the Internet, the people on your team no longer have to live in your town, your region or even your country!

Test, test, test. Whatever you're doing - be it banner advertising, using newsletters, trying AdWords campaign - or any other form of Internet marketing or advertising - keep testing your results. (But here's a hint - when it comes to your copy, don't waste your time on unimportant elements - only test the ones that will give you the biggest return on your investment.)

Spend your time on what will do you the most good - making money. There's so much information available - and so much to do online. It's easy to get sidetracked and involved in activities that waste your time.
