Do You Have What It Takes To Be An Affiliate Marketer

SO YOU WANT TO BE AN AFFILIATE MARKETER BUT DONT KNOW WHERE TO START!

Like 98% of the online population you most probably think that you can just buy a website for $10.00 and put a few ads on it and you will be rich over night Haha,

What a load of BS that is i can tell ya.

You see i have been there done that and wrote the book on failier. You hear it all the time seen the screen shots and even been shown the system live, Paid your money for the latest Robot and or the newest program and it maybe a great program but you are missing one thing and allways will be. So what is it.

THE M25 THE 192 THE LARGEST FREEWAY ON EARTH get the drift

TRAFFIC! - TRAFFIC SELLS PRODUCT FACT!

If you cant drive it your not going to get where you want to go.

Let me tell you about how i used to get mine.

Each day i would do this each and every day.

1. Write 4 articles and submit them to directories
2. answer 4 questions in yahoo answers
3. backlink 25 blogs
4. post on 12 forums
5. email 500 clients
6. send out 10 tweets
7. message at least 20 on Facebook and post on thier walls
8. send out 100 tumblr request by robot

I would repeat this over and over again for at least a month and this would get me reasonable traffic to my site but i was missing one vital ingredient a sales funnel without it i could not convert my Traffic from visitors to purchasers. Its a must have.

Please understand this fact you will not sell a thing no matter how good your product is or how great you write your articles without your sales funnel your dead in the water!

Now as a special treat for you Affiliates of the world i want to give you something special for free its one of the most powerful backlinks i have used on the internet

But first for you people that know zip about affiliate marketing i will show you what you need to do to be professional without getting your link high jacked.

1. Sign up with clickbank or similar site
2. Get your nickname
3. Buy your domain name call it what you like but use make money in the title so Paulsmakemoneytips.com or what ever niche your trying to get ranked for.
4. Learn how to mask your url via your domain name if you have a free website on blogger or the usual freebies you may have trouble as they dont usually have a c panel. So i would suggest setting up site on wordpress which has a cpanel
5. Learn how to use and create subdomains in cpanel use youtube loads of free tutorials.
6. Now every clickbank affiliate link you use should have its own sub domain so when people hover over your link it will say paulsmoneymakingtips1 or 2 or 3 or 4 Etc Etc.

This way all those prospects think your link is part of the site not a sponsor advertising on the site you will sell 70% more product yes there is a bit of leg work and cost but it will be paid back in sales.

Using your raw link

As you are most probably aware you dont need a website to make money as an affiliate social media is huge there are lots of url shortning services on the internet some allow affiliate links some dont if you are marketing to friends you might get away with the clickbank encripted code but i would always use tiny or bit.ly for this purpose if you have the use of cpanel just shorten your own subdomain also.

Ok a great backlink and a great blog to have please dont share this too much. mytelegraph.co.uk go to the site its the newspaper group in the UK sign up and click on the side bar link this opens up a menu click on my telegraph and then create your blog for free in your signiture put the html formation like this: <a href = "htt://your domain">keyword</a> thats it now your keword will be shown once clicked it will take them to your product. This blog is very powerful i set one up a few weeks ago to promote just one of my many programs it got to number 1 in google in 2 hrs.

Please note if your site does not show or you are having problems at any time there system sometimes uses a defering link that puts your posts in the trash in the wordpress section of your blog you will need to just revive them and your good to go.

About Ranking for Keywords

Now this is where most Affiliate just cant be bothered. It takes time to understand how to rank for keywords and how to get backlinks for those keywords. I tend to do my reaserch on google like most people but i also research trends and countries along the way.

Whats your niche whats your target audience - You need to know who to market the product too before you think about where you can rank for the keywords. So i am going to sell an affiliate product that has a solution to a problem so lets say Weightlossplan or makemoneyplan

So the market or audience are people that want to diet so we search in google for the top answers type in weightloss or weightlossplan the same for makemoneyplan then we see what the top 5 websites are doing you will need to do this over and over using different words or long tail keywords

Now you should have a list each time you typed in a new word the google drop down menu should pop up with already ranked words simply hit each one and see how many people are ranking for the keywords if its less than 1 million and it has side bar ads thats great if its more than 10 million dont bother but like goldielocks says 5 miliion is just right.

Now go to Google external keyword tool just type it in google.com enter your keyword so for example easy way to lose belly fat or weightloseplan its not that important but go through your list.

The important part - You are looking for keywords that have high monthly searches but low competition once you find them you are set.

For example i searched the other day for Multi-level marketing and found a great keyword (mlm) over 1million searches a month with low competition what a word.

How to use A staged sales funnel for affiliate programs

Funny but over the last few weeks i found the perfect partner for wanna be super affiliates it uses stages to show videos and allows the owner to promote his videos or any video he likes thats trending to his audience while staging his clickbank links and banners and capture forms all on one site. Now i am no expert in Google algorithms i cant even spell it LOL but if youtube is owned by google then all the videos will get top ranking and guess what your ads are on them. You can also place adsense on them as well. I spoke to the leading user of stages on thursday last week he has had 210k hits on his site and makes his money from adsense alone.

My example is here - Just add stg.do/WCO just copy and past in your browser now refersh a few times the Clickbank ads change and you can put any ad that suits the video diirec from Good old CB.

My Ad - check it out with lead capture - just add the www part stg.do/NvS
and lead capture stg.do/xWO So think about what this could do for your traffic generation and sales its a cool piece of kit with an amazing back office and an internal business to boot and i think you can trial it free or for about $1.00 thats not bad.

Enjoy your time as an affiliate marketer you will never stop learning from day 1 as things change so quickly on the net.

Me well those days are over i still have clickbank products online that i sell through CB and other outlets but i have moved on to greater things.

I will put new posts in the forum now and again so keep coming back and give me a visit from time to time you never know what you might find.

To your Success
