The Secret Affiliate Marketing Action List 

Shhh! Tools for making your first million on line!

1. First, you HAVE to get a website - Everyone uses GoDaddy
   to build those squeeze pages and one page sales letters often associated with affiliate marketing.
   Squeeze pages or sales letter pages are the one page pitch you see for all affiliate marketing websites. While you are at GoDaddy, take advantage of their low cost domains and pick up a few of those as well.
   Find a name which best reflects the niche you are targeting.
   The other host which "everyone" is giddy about these days, especially for Wordpress sites is Dreamhost.
2. Second, and almost as important as a website is to build a mailing list of prospects. A mail list is permission based (people sign up for it - never SPAM) and allow you to send a newsletter with products you are promoting included.
   Internet marketers always recommend using a professional mailing list host provider and their favorite hands down is AWeber.
   AWeber has already setup the permissions directly with ISP's so your email will get through with a high priority...
3. Now, find something to promote. Sign up with an affiliate marketing website. Either for each product or at an umbrella site.
   The top choice is always Clickbank .
   Read over the list of products and choose one representing a niche you know well, like marketing or computer software...
4. Now create some online ads to promote your product. Sign up for an AdWords account - most affiliate marketing programs are written using AdWords , and learn about how it works. The costs for getting started with AdWords are nominal.
5. If you marketing using your blog or a website, also learn about AdSense and similar programs. It makes sense (no pun intended!) to sign up and (hopefully) earn some extra revenue while you are building your mailing list.
6. Now it gets advanced. You might want at some time or another to protect your URL and hide your affilate link. This website has easy to follow intructions Link Cloaker for your website.
7. You signed up with AWeber and have a mailing list. Now help users join quickly using a "pop up" email list box. All the top affiliates use Instant Popover.
8. Maybe you are ready to write your own ebook or software. Create a professional looking product using ECover Creator. Create your own software package and book cover graphics to help sell your product.
9. While you think about it, the most popular affiliate marketing products are "ebooks". Consider a subject you know well, can write about and believe others would pay to know more about.
   Then make your own ebook using Write your own EBook
10. The best for last! Keywords are crucial. Every Internet Marketer carefully researches keywords for their internet advertising (AdWords) and websites (keywords in content for best search engine placement).
    Everyone uses this tool from Yahoo to get started - Keyword Selector Tool
    The Keyword Selector Tool will show the number of times a keyword has been searched for on Yahoo in the past month. Think about it - You will now know what people are looking for! Get busy searching!
11. Backup and Bookmark!

The TRUTH about making money online 

• The easiest way to make money online is do something you really love and want to share with others!
  
  But, there is no easy way to make money overnight!
  
  Also, there is no such thing as "passive income" or "printing money with online sales".
  
  Making money online is just like any other job; you have to work hard.
  
  However, if you can find some successful "niche" products, build a large permission based email list and are able to create effective sales pages, you can make good money on the Internet.
  
  The best advice I can give is to start small. Find a neat product, put a Clickbank link on your website or blog and direct some traffic. Or start with a small AdWords budget and advertise a few products.
  
  The most important advice I can give anyone who wants to make money on the Internet - Just Get Started!

Affiliate Marketing Tips 

• Understanding clickkthru traffic" to make money?
  
  That is the proposition behind "Adsense Arbitrage". (For more detailed information, check out Joel Comm's book in the Amazon box above).
  
  The idea is that if you get enough traffic to your site, a certain number of ads will be clicked which brings you revenue. And the best way to get traffic is to advertise using Google AdWords.
  
  Here's the deal. AdWords cost you money per click. If your AdWords clicks cost you more than the revenue generated by AdSense, you lose money. The margins can be quite thin unless you use some smarts. .
  
  - Pick keywords with low cost per click, but high revenue relation.
  - Websites with real content that are updated regularly by people, have lower AdWords costs than static, form websites (The Google Slap).
  - Increase your revenue potential by including links to non-Adsense sites like affiliate sales. Commission Junction has some great products for any niche; clothing, insurance, office supplies, etc.
  
  You can make money with AdSense Arbitrage, but be careful your costs don't outweigh your revenue!
  
  Part 2
  
  I read a great report recently which described the best way to capitalize off of Adwords/Adsense Arbitrage.
  
  First, research your keywords. I have several suggestions in this lens for tools to use.
  
  In addition to those, use AdWords keyword tool and price keywords for ad placement searches. If AdWords wants high prices per click ($1,2,5 or more) than those are good keywords for your website to focus on.
  
  Layout and setup your website. Use content driven by your keywords. Use a domain focused on your keyword - i.e. weightloss-secrets.com, debtreduction.com, etc.
  
  Prepare actual articles and written content for your website. Don't stick 20 AdSense ads on it with gibberish and expect a check next month!
  
  Research and setup your keyword driven AdWords campaigns. Use hundreds of keywords, but only a few actual ads.
  
  Study the results daily. Traffic will build over time, but only if you can stick with it.
  
  You will spend some money on AdWords ads!. It might be hundreds of dollars so be ready!
  
  If all goes well, you might see a 2, 3 or even 4-to-1 return on your AdWords budget. Generally, a certain percentage of visitors, click on ads - sometimes as many as 7%.
  
  Part 3
  
  Make sure your copy, domain and ads are relevent!
  
  I cannot stress to you how important it is NOT to put together strings of gibberish and non-sense and expect your pages to be indexed by Google and to get "click" results!
  
  It is far better to have one solid page than 155 non-indexed "canned" AdSense sites.
  
  See an example of my blog here.
  Notice there are only 4 Adsense ads on the page.
  
  I constantly refine my page to make sure the ads are relevent - often, there will be ads which have nothing to do with my content. You have to watch your site constantly - something you cannot do with 150 "canned" template AdSense sites.
  
  Part 4
  
  Which brings me to my next point - how much of the AdSense Arbitrage and Affiliate Marketing market as a whole is rampant with dated material.
  
  Most Affiliate Marketing information products are two years or more out of date.
  Most Affilate Marketing information products have not been updated since they were written.
  Most Affiliate Marketing information products promote a system which is no longer valid - such as systems using AdWords, especially those products which have not benn updated in the past three months (since September 2006).
  There are a few exceptions which I highlight in my "How To Get Started" module. All three of those guides are highly relevent and should be seriously considered by anyone wanting to get started in Affiliate Marketing.
  
  Part 5
  Add AdSense to your site!
  
  Stepping back, remember to do this! It does not matter what sort of website you have, traffic will mean AdSense revenue.
  
  I recently setup an affiliate website for a specific product. I will run this site for 60-90 days with accompanying AdWords marketing.
  
  Also on the site, I included a few strategically placed AdSensed units. As my traffic grows, I have seen the number of clicks on the ads grow as well. Right now, I am at 10-12% CTR. Not bad.
  
  Ad clicks help offset my initial marketing costs for this new website. I would be crazy not to take advantage of this great program.
  
  Go setup an AdSense account, if you have not already, and see how easy it is to create and insert the code into your web pages.
  
  Next time, I will give hand out some pointers to increasing your CTR.
  
  AdSense Part 6
  
  I have been very busy with AdSense and AdWords the past week!
  
  First, I setup a new website to promote an affiliate product. The first 24 hours, I saw a marked increase in AdSense revenue on the site. Neat.
  
  But although the traffic remained constant and even grew, my AdSense revenue only dropped.
  
  1) I tried moving and editing page elements.
  2) I tried different ad formats.
  3) I tried different tags - just in case.
  4) Naturally, I updated the page content as well.
  
  Still, my AdSense revenue is nowhere near where it was the first day.
  
  Today's work will include:
  1) A competitive site to generate interest traffic.
  2) Addition of new content.
  3) New AdSense layout.
  
  I will let you know how it goes.
