All The Affiliate and Network Marketing Gurus Have Done This And Continue To Do So

All the successful affiliate marketers, network marketers and gurus, have done this and continue to do so on a daily basis. From very early they understood the importance of a list. Having a list is like having assets. It’s the foundation that is needed for you to take your business to the next level. How often have you heard Build Your List, Build Your List. Well if you have not yet gotten the message let me say it out loud again, Build Your List. There is no way around it. The money is in the list and its' absolutely true.

The affiliates and internet marketers making the huge bucks, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in the industry have very huge lists at their disposal. Those that don't have a huge list in most cases have to joint venture with those who do, to make a decent income. Many internet gurus have hundreds of thousands on their list and they can make thousands at the click of a mouse. And even those who have huge lists continue to build their list on a daily basis. You see they know the tremendous value of having a list.

Always remember, it might take a few visits to your site or blog before persons decide to buy your products or other products you are promoting. Hence you should always have a way of contacting visitors even after they click away from your site. That's why you need to start building a list.

To start building your list you need to have something of value to give away to your visitors such as a free ebook, audio, some tips, a video, newsletters etc. Visitors will be more inclined to give you their contact info if they are getting something of value in return. Having a list is not all. When you have a list you have to start building a relationship with that list. Your aim is to build a strong relationship with your list so that you can sell to that list over and over again. Having a huge list and not having a relationship with that list is like not having a list at all. If you did all the hard work in building your list in the first place you might as well spend as much time treating your list well and providing them with valuable information.

Most persons who are successful in this industry realized the importance of a list very early and it took years of hard work growing that list. Now they are the gurus and they have the huge lists and everyone wants to joint venture with them and everything is easier. Start building now.

The Royal Wedding is a wonderful opportunity for Affiliates

Affiliates it’s time to get onboard. Ever since news broke of the

engagement of Prince Williams and Kate Middleton, books have been flying off

the shelves. A few books have been written on the royal couple since then and

you can sign up as an Amazon associate and promote these books for a

commission. As an amazon associate you can also promote kindle products, dolls,

and other royal collectibles and there are now plenty to choose from on amazon. 

The good thing is that you don't have to worry about things such as shipping or

collecting payments as these are all taken care of by the companies you are

promoting for. Hence as an amazon associate, amazon would do the shipping not

you. Amazon would process the payments, not you. All you have to worry about is

getting enough persons to buy these products via your link so you can

get paid. More traffic could mean more money. No traffic means no money and the

same applies to any business on the internet trying to cash in on this huge

event, which now brings me to the point of having a good domain name. 

Having a good domain name is like having prime real estate. A good domain name 

should be short, easy to remember and should contain the terms or words that people 

would type in the search engines when they are looking for something you have to offer.

For example I now own the domain name www.princesskateweddingpics.com.  This

domain name contains the terms that people will type in if they want to view Princess Kate

wedding pics after the event. If you wanted to see some of the royal wedding pics you 

would probably type in princess kate wedding pics RIGHT? So it's to your advantage to

have your domain name contain these terms as you could also benefit from some targeted 

natural traffic. 

Affiliates be sure to look at opprtunities to cash in on this wonderful event. For pictures

of the royal wedding and information on the wedding be sure to visit

www.princesskateweddingpics.com. You can also purchase books and collectibles on the 

royal couple there.

Affiliate Networks And Their Benefits

What is an Affiliate Network?

An Affiliate Network acts as a middle man or broker between affiliates and merchant affiliate programs facilitating business between the two groups. Put another way an Affiliate Network connects Affiliates to Companies or Merchants that want affiliates. 

A Merchant will join an affiliate network in order to advertise their products to affiliates.

An Affiliate will join a network to find products that they can promote for a commission.

Affiliate Networks are very beneficial to both merchants who have affiliate programs and affiliates who are looking for products to promote. As the Affiliate Marketing Industry continues to grow at rapid pace so does the popularity and importance of Affiliate Networks.

Leveraging, The Key To Your Success

Leveraging can be described as the process of using the efforts of others and making use of other resources to grow your business. When you leverage your time and effort you can achieve more success in a shorter period of time. By using the power of leverage you are not only working hard but you are also working smarter. Any business or person that can implement the power of leverage stands a better chance of success.

As an affiliate whether you decide to promote your own product or someone else's product you can use the power of leverage to increase your chances of success. Let's say you have created your ebook and you are now ready to  promote it. Instead of trying to promote your ebook all by yourself, you can offer your product to an affiliate network such as Clickbank giving other affiliates the chance to promote your ebook for a commission. This would be very smart on your part as your ebook could reach a larger audience in a shorter period of time which could increase your sales dramatically. Pretty soon you could have thousands of affiliates promoting your ebook. They will earn a commission from each sale made via their efforts and you will be earning from their efforts as well. Your ebook could end up in the hands of a super affiliate who has a big list, huge followings and excellent marketing skills which would be a huge win for you if such a guru decides to promote your ebook.

If you are promoting other merchants products then another perfect example of leverage is article marketing. One reason why article marketing is so widely recommended is because of its leveraging capability. When you write an article and publish it on an article directory site such as ezine this is an excellent way of leveraging time and resources. By putting your article on ezine you are leveraging a highly ranked and popular site that is viewed by millions on a daily basis. This could bring instant traffic to your site giving you exposure that you could only dream of getting from your own site and guess what its FREE. When you have good articles on ezine, people have the right to republish them as long as your information such as your name website etc remains in tact giving you credit for the article. Pretty soon your article could be on hundreds of other sites with a link to your products and website. That is LEVERAGE. You are getting massive promotion not only from your effort but from the effort of the hundreds of persons who decided to republish your article.

Making use of article submission services is an excellent way to leverage. Article submission services facilitates the publishing of your articles to hundreds of article directories all at once. For those of us who write articles we all know how time consuming it can be to upload just one article to one article directory so just think about how much time and effort you could save by leveraging article submission services.

You can leverage the power of social networking sites such as Twitter, Myspace and Facebook. Facebook has over 500 million users and represents a huge market potential if you know how to market yourself and build your brand without spamming. You can consider connecting all your applications, websites, social media, rss feeds together. For example a lot of times you can connect your twitter account to your blog to your facebook account to your fan pages to your digg and the list goes on. You just have to know how to do this. By connecting all these applications you can sometimes make one post and it is updated on all your other applications and social sites, instead of going to each of these sites and updating each individually.

When you learn the art of leveraging then sometimes all you need to do is make a start and through the power of leverage this can continue growing even if you decide to stop working on that project. Affiliates you should always be looking at ways to work smarter and you should always be looking at ways to do things quicker. Start leveraging.

Ebooks An Excellent Income Earning Opportunity

An ebook may be described as an electronically or digitally produced book often written and made available to the public via the internet. More publishers are going the ebook route nowadays as it is certainly more cost effective, more environmentaly friendly (paperless), reaches a larger audience in a much quicker time frame and is less restrictive in terms of getting your information published. Readers today are seeking the convenience of being able to access information whenever and wherever. Instead of having to order a physical or hard copy book and wait weeks for it to be delivered, many people now prefer to just download it so they can access the information right away. Traditional ebooks will always have a place but what ebooks offer is an alternative, and another dimension to book publishing and consumption.

Whether you want to create your own ebook or sell another persons ebook, the fact remains that ebooks presents an excellent opportunity for affiliates to make some good income online. As mentioned in a previous post the demand for ebooks will never die and people are always looking for information on a wide range of topics and almost all of this information is available via ebooks. Digital products are accessable to the buyer once payment is made and that’s why they are so popular and will continue to grow. With digital products there are no delivery or storage issues to worry about so all we have to do as affiliates is pick a few areas that we are interested in and passionate about and start promoting ebooks related to our area of interest. If you are going to promote digital products then clickbank is the place to start.

If you find your creative juices flowing and you believe that you have some experience or knowledge in a particular area that a lot of people would be interested in, then this could be the perfect opportunity for you to create your very own ebook. It is really not very difficult to create an ebook as long as you have valuable information that can be incorporated or packaged into a book and made available to the public.

The good thing about having your own ebook is that you can get people to help you promote or sell your ebook for a commission by making it available through an affiliate network such as Clickbank. Creating your own ebook is also an excellent way to brand yourself and establish yourself in the industry. So guys go ahead and create your own ebook, share your knowledge and provide solutions for the masses.Of course you have to find creative and effective ways of promoting and marketing your ebook as this is critical to your success.

Brand Your Affiliate Business!!

As an affiliate you need to create your own personal brand to increase your chances of success in the industry. You need to remember that many affiliates will be selling the same products you are selling so you have to ask yourself these questions, Why would someone chose to buy from ME instead of from some other person? What advantages do I have over the thousands of other affiliates promoting the same products? What value can I provide?  People will buy from and follow persons that have a better brand, someone who has more to offer than just the product they are promoting, someone who is a leader, someone who is positive.

Personal branding or self-branding is an art. It is the process by which you differentiate yourself and your career in your respective market place. It is how you market yourself to the world creating an impression of what other people think of you. In branding yourself you need to be distinctive and memorable. Know that you have control over how others see you. You can influence their impression of you by your appearance, the way you dress, how you speak, your talents, your passion, how knowledgeable you are and by being an expert in your field and being a leader.

It is important that you view personal branding as a career advancing tool. By knowing your strenghts and values and being able to communicate these to others you will ensure that your place in the market place is secured.With the advancement in technology and the internet, the world has become smaller and doing business has become more competitive. Since you are competing with many others offering the same services, products, skills and experience it is very important that you are able to stand out from the crowd or stand out as a leader. A strong and solid personal brand will be your competitive edge and will help to elevate and put you ahead of your competitors.

A strong and consistent brand will make other like minded persons and the movers and shakers in the industry, notice you and what you have to offer. As more persons become attracted to you your network will grow and as your network continues to grow, so will your business.

By branding yourself as a leader and someone with authority you will be able to gain trust. As you gain trust from persons you network with and from your customers they will become loyal. Loyal customers will buy from you over and over again and will also bring you new customers. As you gain respect, credibility and admiration the demand for your products, services or expertise will increase and so will your success.

Once you have defined yourself and what you want to be known for, find ways to communicate your brand to others. Be honest about who you are and the image you have created and make sure you can deliver the goods.

Affiliates start building your own unique personal and exciting brand today.

Simple Ways To Increase Your Backlinks And Get Your Link Building Campaign Started

Link popularity can be described as a measure of the quality and quantity of sites that link to your website. In other words, the more popular a website that is linked to yours, the higher your website rankings will be on Google. The number of links pointing to your website also plays a significant role in your link popularity. If you have more links pointing back to your site, search engines will assume that your website is of some value and rank your site higher.

There are some very effective and natural ways of increasing your link popularity. However please note that it will take some time and effort before you start seeing results, so be very patient. A few ways in going about increasing your back links and your link popularity include but are not limited to the following:

• Participating in forums.
• Writing articles and submitting them to article directories.
• Commenting and making contributions to other blogs.
• Submitting your blog/site to blog and website directories.
• Answering queries on Question and Answer sites such as Yahoo Answers and leaving your link there.
• Making use of anchor texts (This is where you include certain keywords in your text that links back to your site.)

By doing a few or all the above you are leaving a link to your website/blog in the article directories, blog directories, site directories, question & answer sites and on other blogs where you participate. Also you will be leaving your link on all the websites and blogs that choose to republish your very informative articles.You will definitely be increasing your back links over time so continue to provide value and you will be rewarded.

Something else that you can do to increase your backlinks is to try getting other website owners in your niche to place a link to your website from theirs. In return they may ask you to do the same. This is called reciprocal linking. Do the same for your blog. In some cases your requests may be turned down and sometimes you may be charged a fee but you should not be deterred in your efforts to get linked to popular sites.

Once you have a good quality site providing a lot of value and a lot of information you will find people linking to your sites. Once you have good quality articles posted in article directories such as Ezine you will always have persons republishing your articles all over the internet and your links could go viral. Article marketing is probably one of the most effective and easiest ways to increase your backlinks so start writing good quality articles and eventually you will start seeing some results. Your links in your resource box attached to your articles will be there for years to come on all these sites, all over the internet.

Pretty soon you will have a combination of one way links (where a website links to you without you linking back to them) and reciprocal links (where a website links to you and you link back to them in return). Please note that quality wins over quantity in the link building game so always try to build good quality links instead of focussing on getting a ton of low quality back links. Having higher qualiy links is better for search engine optimization. Anothe point worth mentioning, Avoid this whole thing about buying links as Google dosen't like this and you could be penalized for this. So just take your time and don't try to rush things along.

Who Is Rosalind Gardner?

Rosalind Gardner  

Rosalind Gardner was working as an air traffic controller back in 2000 when she decided that she wanted to unlock the secrets of making money online. Rosalind was tired of the crazy long shifts and wanted more financial freedom and a better retirement income. She had a dream and she had a vision to make money working from home so while still working as a traffic controller she ventured into the unknown and she started a dating site.

After her first month with her dating site Rosalind earned $10.99, but that was enough to motivate her to keep moving forward. That BIG PAY DAY OF JUST $10.99 made her realize that making money on the internet was real.  Like a true champion she was motivated to do more and to do better. After a year in the industry she was making over five thousand dollars each month. It was at that time that she decided to quit her full time job of twenty years. She started to work from home full time.

By 2002 after two short years in the industry, Rosalind made $436,797 selling other persons products and services. She went from $10 dollars to $400,000 plus. This shows you the true potential of the billion dollar affiliate marketing industry once you are willing to put in the hard work and dedication that is needed to be successful. Rosalind then went on to write The Super Affiliate Handbook in 2003 to share her experiences in the industry.Today Rosalind Gardner earns over $500,000 each year.

Rosalind Gardner teaches by experience and uses her actual techniques, blog designs, websites and her marketing methods to show us how she did it and how we can achieve similiar results if we work hard. She spends a lot of her time speaking at conferences including Affiliate Summit, PPC Classroom, Casino Affiliate Convention, Adtech and much more. She have taught thousands of affiliates via her consultations, webinars and ebooks how to be successful in the industry.The Super Affilate Handbook which was written back in 2003 is still very relevant and popular today as it is regularly updated to reflect the changing industry, technology and techniques. In fact her ebook has received and continue to receive many endorsements and some good reviews in the industry. Rosalind has also been featured in countless magazines including Small Business Opportunities, Secrets To Success, Feedfront and Revenue magazine.

Rosalind Gardner displays the true example of attraction marketing as today she is well sought after for her knowledge and expertise in the affiliate marketing industry. She is a leader, she has gained the trust of thousands, she gave value, she helped others, she provided solutions, and people want to hear what she has to say and learn from her. Rosalind Gardner said and I quote "Those who succeed and make scads of money online don’t start with the statement “I want money”. They begin with the question “what can I do for others?”… because ultimately, success is a measure of the value we bring to others to help them succeed."

Jumping from program to program

Don’t start promoting one product today, another product next week and another the following week. Also avoid promoting too many products at the same time.It’s best to start with a few products and do your best job of promoting them. Having a website promoting ten or fifteen different products can be very confusing to visitors and can be counterproductive since it will be harder for you to focus your energy.

How To Decide Which Products to Promote As An Affiliate

Affiliates, you have to know which products to promote to increase your chances of success in the industry. Here are some things to consider when trying to decide the best products to promote.

You have to first decide on your target market, whether its going to be weight loss, affiliate marketing, nutrition before you can even start considering which products to promote.

After deciding on your target market, you then need to find out what products sell best and if there is a market for the product you want to promote. You have to do a bit of research here.

You need to take into consideration the commissions you will earn from promoting a particular product or products. Commission payments can be as high as 70%, however you still have to be careful when making your decision as the more expensive products might be harder to sell than the cheaper priced products. Hence you shouldn't base your decision on commission alone.

Do you thorough research to find out if there are any negatives out there about the product before deciding to promote it. You wouldn’t want to represent something or put all your effort and time into something that people might not buy due to all the bad reviews or negativity surrounding it.

Try to promote products that you are interested in or knowledgeable about. It is very hard to sell something that you know nothing about or have no passion about. If you don't know enough then educate yourself as much as possible before you start promoting that particular product.

You should strongly consider promoting digital information products as the demand for these will never die. People are always looking for information on a wide range of topics and almost all of this information is available via ebooks. Digital products are accessable to the buyer once payment is made and that’s why they are so popular and will continue to grow. With digital products there are no delivery or storage issues to worry about. If you are going to promote digital products then clickbank is the place to start.

These are just a few guildelines that you should follow when you are trying to find the right products to promote.
