Some Internet & Affiliate Marketing Truths!

Here are some facts about internet and affiliate marketing that many don't want you to know.

Fact 1: It is impossible to buy any product and get rich quick, or overnight, or where no work or list or website or SEO or keywords or an autoresponder or a website or web hosting is not required. All of them and a lot more always are required, period!

Fact 2: Nobody ever went from $70,000 in debt to earning $374,692.84 in 11 days of getting started with some under the radar piece of software designed by a Russian programmer that steals traffic from NATO?

Fact 3: Nobody earns $1,000,000 a month with affiliate marketing or internet marketing. Some do earn that or more every year but most who say that are liars selling a worthless junk product?

Most online video sales websites making such outrageous claims use paid actors speaking to camera from a script at a hired mansion, with rented cars and faked proofs of someone else's earnings, and Clickbank payments.

The Only True Path to eventually earning more money than any job or so called career is by learning step by step from site's like this one from people genuinely earning a good income from their internet based business. 

So, keep working and learning my friends and the good times and increased wealth, freedom and happiness will come over the next few short years.

How To Start An Affiliate Marketing Business In One Day!

How To Start An Affiliate Marketing Business In One Day...

and I should add, even if it’s your first day online, and only have $50 or less to spend.

And I’m not talking about getting in a “home business” program. They’re fine if you want to get started in the “home business” niche…but…

I want to give you a formula you can use for ANY niche you decide to enter into. Follow the steps below and you’ll feel like this guy at the end of the day…

I was recently asked by a customers who is trying to promote a weight loss product – acai berries to be exact.

She asked me the best ways to promote her affiliate link without buying ads, or without using article marketing because article directories won’t allow any articles that promote or talk about acai berries!

I gave my advice in a couple of steps….

1.  If article marketing is out, get traffic with Youtube videos.  Create videos with helpful content about acai berries and weight loss and upload them, with your titles containing keywords.

2. Put a link in the description to a lead generation page (squeeze page). When they land on your squeeze page, offer them a free “giveaway” product if they optin to your email list (autoresponder). For example, a free teaser report about the benefits or dangers of acai berries.

The other option, and this is much more effective for cold traffic (i.e. traffic from Youtube) is to make the offer on your squeeze page “blind copy”.

Blind copy means you don’t actually let the reader know that you’re talking about acai berries – You hide the fact that it’s anything to do with acai berries and just refer to it as a “weight loss super food”, or something along those lines. 

The main reason for using blind copy is to muster up some curiosity in their mind so the reader can’t help but to opt-in in to learn more.

3. Another way to drive traffic for free would be by posting in weight loss or mummy, chat forums and social media sites (groups).. and putting your link in your forum signature file! 

Again you want to send people to your squeeze page so you build your email list. Your email list is your most important asset as an internet marketer. With a list, you can follow-up with them at any time and use the emails to build that all-important relationship.

So that’s the ‘what to do’….

The ‘how to do it’ is explained in this next part.

This involves actually going out and doing work. However, none of these tasks are overly technical or require a phd in computer science. Admittedly, these are the bare essentials, but they’re enough to get you started running a proper, reliable affiliate marketing business.

* Write a 5~10 page report in Word about acai berries and how they help you burn fat.
* Turn your report into a PDF using Doc2pdf.net
* Get an ecover for it on fiverr.com
* Use a site like 1MinuteSites.com to create your landing pages (squeeze pages etc),
* Get an autoresponder (email management software) like Aweber or Pure Leverage so you can start your list building
*Focus on the traffic methods I explained above to promote and give away the free report.

That there is a quick outline of a basic, but complete affiliate marketing business model. You could literally get this kind of business up and running in one day and for less than $50.

Internet marketing doesn’t need to be complex. You just need the right pieces in place. I’ve listed the bare essentials of how to set up a list building system and two examples of how to promote  for free, apart from article marketing.

Doing Affiliate Marketing The Smart Way!

New affiliates are encouraged to create their own websites, master SEO and update their websites frequently with fresh and original content.  The upside to this approach is that an SEO'd site will generate free traffic from search engines.

Also, you get to brand yourself and your readers will know where to find you.  The downside is that this approach takes time to deliver results. 

Also, with Google's frequent updates to their algorithms, SEO has been reduced  from being some kind of science to a hit and miss mashed with guess work.  Changes in a Google algorithm has had super-affiliates' incomes being reduced by as much as 90%!

This approach alone does not work very well for an affiliate marketer.  If you already own a website, it will be of huge help to start building a list, aggressively so. 

I believe that, as an affiliate your list is your only true possession. With a list of subscribers, you can switch affiliate programs as you see fit, as long as you  remain relevant to your list.

Building a funnel however,  ensures sustainability and growth for your affiliate marketing business.

How does an affiliate funnel work?

A typical sales funnel starts with a free giveaway in exchange for a subscriber's email. You will need an email marketing system for this purpose. As is  typical of a funnel, you may gain a large number of subscribers.

As you introduce your subscribers to your affiliate offers, the number of those who do click through may decrease.

The numbers of conversions or sales will even be lower.  This will be offset by the new subscribers you are gaining on a daily basis.

When using a funnel, your main focus is generating traffic to your free giveaway and nothing else. 

Affiliate funnels, once setup correctly, reduce the pressure of having to sell. Once your automated emails are setup, they do the selling for  you.

What do you need to setup a sales funnel?

1.  An email marketing & autoresponder system (try the 30 day free trial)

2.  Capture page or web form to collect email addresses-some auto-responders include these in your membership.  Get Response does have capture page templates as well.

3. A product to give away.  This could be a good ebook, email course, coupons etc.  This must be  relevant to your target market.

4.  Once all is setup, you need to work on TRAFFIC.

This is the simplified version of what is involved in sales funnels. New affiliate marketers may feel intimidated by auto-responders.  In fact, most delay list building for fear of messing things up while working with auto-responders.

If you are not ready to create campaigns and work with email marketing software, I'd recommend that you take a look at CBPassiveIncome. 

This is a licensed product that has the whole funnel setup for  you (with readily  monetized auto-responder emails). The license also includes a free giveaway and a website that you will use to capture emails.  It works for both experienced affiliates and new alike.
