Three Fatal Affiliate Marketing Mistakes

Posted March 10, 2010 – 9:07 pm in: Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing gives you the opportunity to make money online automatically, once you have setup your website successfully. It is considered to be a very simple and a very easy way to earn a good income with affiliate marketing. But it is not as easy as it is thought. Not all persons entering in this field become successful affiliate marketers. Those who are lucky enough to get real success in this business are few.


Here we will discuss the three major mistakes of affiliate marketers that usually make their business collapse. This will help you in earning a steady income. If you will avoid these mistakes then you can sit back and enjoy your steady and monthly “free” income.


In affiliate marketing, you get your commissions for promoting products and services of a merchant. It is the Merchant who is bound to pay you the sales commission. The duty of the affiliate marketer is to promote the products of the merchant. The merchant is the investor, who pays commissions to the affiliate marketers, when any of his products are sold.


Now take a look at the three fatal mistakes of affiliate marketers:


1. Do not send your prospects directly to an affiliate website


Do not send your prospect directly to the website without offering any free benefit to the visitor because there is a possibility that the consumer will not like the product and close the website without even buying a single product. Now you have lost this consumer forever because it is obvious that the next time he will choose to visit another site.


If you want your visitors to visit the website again and again, offer them some kind of free benefit like free gifts, software or e-books. You can send them a free newsletter or weekly horoscope at their email address. If you are successful in grabbing their email address, then you can send them advertisements on their email address on a regular basis too.


2. Do not Create a Website Full of affiliate links, flashy banners and Ads


If your website is full of affiliate links, lots of flashy banners and other advertisements then your visitor may become confused and he may simply leave your website. People like to see the clear and easy to understand websites. Just put an honest product review to get the visitors attention. Try to put text ads instead of flashy and graphical ads. Researches have proved that text links are more successful than flashy banners. People like to see what they want and not the fancy graphics. Also the load time of simple websites is much faster in comparison to full graphics, loaded websites. People like to visit the sites that opens in seconds. So be simple and be focused.


3. Commission theft


Commission theft is one of the biggest drawbacks in this field. Although, it is not possible to eliminate it completely, you can use some tricks to minimize it. Cloaking and redirecting of affiliate links are the options for you in this situation.


Usually the affiliate links contain the affiliate id of affiliates at the end of merchant websites URL. An example is: aff_id=your_affiliate_id


This is not a good style. Any person can easily drop your “aff_id” part from the above link and can visit the merchant website to make sales. In this case the sales are made but you are not credited. The solution of this problem is “cloaking”. After cloaking your affiliate link will be like: /affiliate_site


Conclusion


In conclusion, an affiliate marketer should try to avoid the common fatal mistakes to become successful in this field. Always try to collect the email addresses of your website visitors by offering them some free gifts like newsletters etc. Then use their email addresses to start your advertisement campaigns. Try to design your website really simple and easy to understand for the visitors. People do not like the fancy graphics when they are searching for something to buy. And do not forget to cloak your affiliate links to get the maximum benefit. By avoiding these main mistakes you can start earning sooner.

Network Marketing: Selling the Dream (Part I)

Posted March 10, 2010 – 9:11 am in: Network Marketing

Are you tired of struggling to make ends meet? Unexcited about driving in rush hour traffic? Burned out at work making your BOSS’S dream come true? You have a choice in life but most people choose to live in constant fear. They are scared to death of failure or success. They feel small. They don’t feel they are good enough or important enough to make a difference. There is a secret to success. All it takes is a dream.

When was the last time you dared to dream? Have your hopes and aspirations been squelched by life and no longer express your dreams to others? Are you no longer asked about our dreams because you are expected to have accomplished and attained them by now? For the vast majority of the population the dream has been replaced by a nightmare. We all continue to seek happiness, security, independence, and riches beyond compare. Many have managed to achieve these things in their life through network marketing.

Network marketing maybe the answer needed to revive your dream machine. However, not everyone is suited for network marketing. But if you have moderate people skills and are a big thinker, network marketing could be right for you. In this the first of four parts, you will find out what a prominent author says about network marketing and why he believes network marketing is the ideal vehicle to wealth and prosperity.

For someone exploring a network marketing opportunity for the first time, the book written by Robert Kiyosaki entitled, “The Business School for People Who Like Helping People” is a book to have. Robert Kiyosaki reviews several ways that one may become rich. However, the path offered by his Rich Dad may be the most realistic and also holds the greatest profit potential. Rich Dad’s path to success is simple just build a business.

Robert Kiyosaki prefers network-marketing businesses because there exists very few barriers to entry. Some of the richest people in the world come from the business quadrant. There is a bad connotation of network marketing and it is because most people don’t understand the purpose of networking. The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else looks for work.

Network marketing scares some people. It scares your bosses who want to continue to maintain control over you. It scares people in the investment business that hope you will never read any of Robert Kiyosaki’s books and listen to their advice (while they participate in illegal investing techniques with your money). “In network marketing” Kiyosaki says, “they want you to get better. In the workplace, they don’t want you to get better. It’s a rat race.”

The title of this book tells it all — network marketing is not a “get rich quick” vehicle. Rather, it is a business school where the ultimate goal is personal growth. Robert Kiyosaki presents eleven “hidden values” of a network marketing business. This is the ideal tool to help you look beyond the hype, see the network marketing opportunity for what it really is, and set realistic expectations for your personal success. This book gives a solid, realistic foundation from which you can chart your course.

Robert Kiyosaki also says that network marketing is the perfect B-Business for some people but not everybody. It’s all based on values. Some people are weak and need the security of a paycheck. Others, who want freedom and are willing to develop themselves, will find network marketing the Perfect B-Business for them.

Some sophisticated business people like to take cheap shots at network marketing and say it’s not really a business. But how would a MBA know what a real business is when all they are is an employee—the E Quadrant. Network marketing puts you on the B-Quadrant only without investing hundreds of thousands of dollars, having to buy or rent a building, or pay employees. In real estate you use leverage in the form of other peoples money. In network marketing, you use leverage in the form of other people’s contacts, other people’s energy.

There are tax benefits to owning your own network marketing business. As an employee you are paying the absolute maximum in taxes. This is money you can be using to improve your lifestyle, invest in your network marketing company, in real estate or set aside for retirement. And of course, this is the information age. Never has it been easier to reach more people via network marketing than it is right now. (Please contact your tax consultant for specific deductions)

The future is looking very bright for network marketing. Why? There are already several economic trends in place that will drive more and more people to participate in network marketing in the very near future. For one, people are looking for alternatives to the job market. Many people are tired of the long commute, 9-5 routine and the myth of “job security.” They want freedom and network marketing can give that to them.

People are tired of being pushed around by unappreciative employers. Tired of being dedicated to the company hoping for a long tenure only to be downsized. People are also tired of the schemes and scams by brokers, brokerages and mutual fund companies. The average individual does not have or does not want to risk the large capital required for a conventional business.

A dream is not a job. A job can be very tiring and not very rewarding. For some it is working in corporate America for 29 years and on the day you only have 30 days left to retire you are laid off. For others it is working at two fast food restaurants for 80 hours a week and earning minimum wage. Your story may be different but if you have a job you are not working for your dream. You are working to create the dream of your employer become a reality not yours.

Network marketing may very well be the last great opportunity to achieve the American Dream. As Robert points out in his book, networking isn’t for everyone, but it is a great way to create a passive walk away income that will give you freedoms and options in other investments. That’s probably the number one point he makes. You don’t need to become a networking guru, but, you can create a secondary income of $1000, $3000, or even $10,000 a month and use that to live your dreams.

Yes the future does look very bright for network marketing. No doubt network marketing is the wave of the future. Networking is a brilliant idea. In network marketing the average guy without much money can keep their day jobs and start their network marketing business part time. No major capital investment and unlimited income opportunity without risk. You’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

12 Sales Effective Marketing Tips

Posted March 10, 2010 – 9:10 am in: Marketing Tips

MARKETING YOUR INTERNET BUSINESS may already be your strength, or you are struggling and just getting by. No matter how your business is performing everyone can benefit by exploring some low cost marketing opportunities that will help grow your business. You don’t have to spend loads of money on advertising, it just requires some creativity and planning. Furthermore, not only does it add more dollars to your bottom line in money not spent on advertising it can also boost your confidence. Here are 12 tips for you to implement into your Internet business.

12 sales effective / low cost marketing tips:

1.Press Release – send a story about yourself relating to your business via email to a newspaper or magazine relevant to your industry. A story will increase your businesses public awareness and credibility and it is free marketing for you as well. Don’t forget to include  a professionally taken photo of yourself.
2.Send Email – contact your existing clients and offer them something via email to entice to visit your website.
3.Public Speaking – offer a presentation at your local service club like Rotary or Leagues and ask if they would be interested in allowing you to present a subject of interest. Don’t do a sale pitch, offer something to people that will be of value and record the session to use for later public broadcasts. You can also use this in your credentials to show people you have spoken in public and is good for press releases as well.
4.Keyword Marketing – not enough businesses use this method and it’s low cost as long as you set your target and budget correctly. You can buy keywords relating to your business from as little as 5c per word. Be really specific and make sure your target audience sees your advertisement.
5.Post Advertisement On Noticeboard – your local shopping centre, schools, universities will have noticeboards for you to post up notices and advertisements. Use them and take advantage of them because many people still read noticeboard and give them an incentive to call (maybe include a tear off at the bottom of your notice).
6.Networking – join a business club or a forum in your area sharing the same interest. Attend these events regularly and swap business cards.
7.Setup A Stall – sometimes just setting up a store at your local fair or market creates brand awareness for your business and is a great opportunity to talk to people in the community and hand out brochures to offer your products or services.
8.Cross-Promote – contact other businesses that offer complimentary services or products to yours and work out a co-operative marketing strategy to promote together. It’s a win-win to help each other out.
9.Promote On Your Car – A very cost effective way if you drive around a lot. You can purchase magnetic signs to stick on your car with your business details. You will definitely get people looking because not enough people do it.
10.Give Away Vouchers – When a consumer purchases your product or service give them a discount voucher for their next purchase to entice them to come back to spend again.
11.Talk To People – Don’t worry, they’re not going to bite you! Talk to your friends and acquaintances, they will be more than happy to refer your details if you approach them nicely.
12.Write A Guest Post – This is becoming more popular across the Bloggersphere where you offer to write an informative article for other bloggers. They may have readers that you want to attract and they are interested in what you have to say, then it’s a great way to market your Internet business.

Try to implement a couple of these ideas over the month and test your results. The best way to find out if they work is to ask your customers when they contact you, “How did you hear about us?”. This is the best way to measure and learn from your customers as it can help you determine what is working and what is not. It’s all about trial and error to find the best marketing method for your Internet business.

Be Sure Not To Do This If You Really Want Email Marketing Success

Posted March 10, 2010 – 9:08 am in: Email Marketing

It’s a matter of fact, probably the number one mistake you can make if you want email marketing success is to ignore your list. It is amazing how many people will work at building a list and then ignore it. Successful email marketing is not really rocket science. However you do need to consistently work at it, if you expect to make money with it.

Because sending emails out to a list of people is very easy to do you would think no one would make the mistake of ignoring their subscribers. It has always astounded me to to see how many internet marketers will work to build a list and then ignore it.

This is a mistake for several reasons. One reason is that there is a tremendous amount of competition for person’s attention on the Internet today. If you expect people to pay attention to you must stay out in front of them where they can find you.

This does not mean you have to over email your subscriber base either. Over mailing your list is one mistake that some Internet marketers make. They mail offers out several times a day to the point that people begin to unsubscribe from it.

Keeping in front of your list on a regular basis is a better strategy. This will vary from one Internet marketer to the next depending on the type of list that they are building.

If you publish an email newsletter you want to consistently do it when people expect to receive it from you. If this means you are sending it out once a week then you should do that at the same time of the week so the people get used to it. If your newsletter is only sent monthly then be sure and only send it every month.

Then fill in the off times with useful information where you are not actually selling to your subscribers. When you do actually want to make a sale, this form of relationship building can really pay off. People are more receptive to hearing from you when they know that you are not always trying to take their money.

In summary the biggest mistake that people make that prevents them from email marketing success is ignoring their list. If you strike the right balance of emailing useful information with sales offers, and do it on a consistent basis, you will achieve the type of success you want from your e-mail marketing efforts.
