Encourage Clickbank and Other Affiliates To Promote For You

May 17th, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in E-book Marketing, Traffic

 

Promoting your product on ClickBank can be a great way of increasing sales. Clickbank Market Place is searched frequently by online marketers looking to generate income with affilite products. Locating products to promote is quite easy with ClickBank. All a marketer has to do to start earning a commission with your product is set up a free of charge ClickBank account and search through the appropriate catagory, locate your product and begin promoting it.

As a merchant you can instantly tap in to this huge potential traffic resourse easily and at little cost. Marketing your product with an affiliate program is one of the most powerful ways to increase sales with little effort on your part. You don’t pay to develop the traffic, the affiliate does. You only pay anything out to the affiliate after they have brought you a sale, and you get to decide how much! This is why so many successful online merchants participate in ClickBank’s easy to use program.

However, it’s not quite that simple. You will find that some online merchants seem to only be able to generate a few sales per day while some others may realize hundreds of sales per day, with the exact same system. So, what’s the difference? The highly successful merchant undersstands the power of providing their online marketing affiliates with key marketing tools along with assiting and motivating them to use them. Helping the affilaite marketer use an effective tool helps you both make much more money.

Your efforts with Increasing your campaign responsiveness can serve to boost your sales at ClickBank in two ways. First of course is to make more sales, but also, your affiliate program should begin to look much more attractive to the professional affiliates searching within Clickbank for products to promote. ClickBank publishes the sales stats and clearly shows how responsive your product is. When your product appears to be a top seller, it will attract a greater number of affiliates wanting to promote it, thus easliy increasing the overall traffic it receives.

Having your product listing ranking high in ClickBank could even be more powerful than having your top keywords rank high with Google. Attracting several strong affiliates who are each capable of getting high Google ranking could end up having your product dominating the first page for your top keywords.

You might pay an SEO company rediculous sums of cash to get good search placements when there may be strong affiliates marketers out there with the ability to accomplish the same or more without any additional expense to you. But only if you would just make it easier and more efficient for them to get involved with promoting your product.

Despite this potential, you’d be surprised to see all the Clickbank merchants who don’t have an affiliates resources page or at least they don’t display it with their clickbank product description allowing marketers to see promotional aids available.

The online merchants who know the importance and value of motivating their affiliates by providing them with the tools they need to properly promote the product to make money with it are the ones who are fully leveraging the their ClickBank affiliates. Is it just plain laziness or do some merchants not understand how to properly support a top online marketer? You won’t attract the top marketers to promote your product if you don’t have a good set of tools for them to use, they will find the products that do.

If you are currently listing your products in ClickBank but not focusing on how to help your affiliates be successful, it’s time to take a good hard look at your promotional tools. You can turn your success level up rapidly with a few simple additions to your promotional tools.

One of the most powerful marketing tools you can put in the hands of your affiliates is a “Brandable E-book Marketing Campaign”. The kind of campaign is one you can easily put together in about a half a day for for free the PDF Power Brand software system. What’s nice about PDF Power Brand is that when you create your campaign with the software, they then promote it for you… for free! Through the PDF Power Brand “E-book Vault” you get a full page devoted to promoting your affiliate campaign on the PDF Power Brand web site, for many other marketers to see.

If you want to get the most leverage and income from your ClickBank affiliates, or from any affiliate program you have, then it will be very beneficial to make sure you have available as many marketing methods and tools as possible for them. Having these in place serves to motivate affiliate marketers to put in the effort on your products.

With PDF Power Brand you will be providing a very powerful marketing tool, at no cost!

How Twitter Will Help Your Article Marketing

February 15th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Filed in Internet Marketing, Traffic, Twitter

As you know writing articles is a very powerful way to get traffic and recognition. And who doesn’t want more of both to support their online marketing business? Traffic generation is the life blood of any business. Now there is one more facet you can add to your article marketing campaigns to get a little more mileage from your articles and it utilizes the power of Twitter.

You can have a Tweet posted to Twitter automatically each time you have posted an article to an article directory. You will need to get your author feed from the article directory to use for this, most good directories should provide a specific author feed. Now you can use that feed just as they provide it or you can run that feed through FeedBurner if you want to add more features like click tracking and more.

My friend Dan Blackburn has a good description on how to do this on the Article Content King Blog.
Go there and just follow his instructions. He describes how to get the feed from the Article Content King directory, but it should be similar with any on the major article directories.

Dan will take you through getting your feed and then going to a free service called Pingvine where the feed will be set up to Twit automatically every time you post a new article. How cool is that! One more way to use Twitter!

John

PS,
If you want another good place to post your articles, gain some ad revenue from your article pages and more, you might try the unique revenue sharing Article Content King directory. I am involved in helping this directory become a marketing powerhouse for authors, the Alexa rating is growing very rapidly with all the new design features and marketing efforts. Check it out.

Are You Keeping Up With What You Start?

January 19th, 2009 | 4 Comments | Filed in Alex Jeffreys, Blog Set Up

In our fledgling online marketing efforts we are all super busy doing more and more tasks associated with building our blogs and getting traffic to them. Whether it’s following Alex Jeffreys or any of the other individuals successful with internet marketing, these methods work but only if kept up on a regular basis.

The question is, are you keeping up with those tasks that should be done repeatedly on a regular basis. Like visiting other blogs and commenting, writing articles, bookmarking and what ever else you have done. What is important is to schedule in all these kinds of repetitive tasks so that you keep up with them or their effect will diminish.

Connie wrote a nice short article called, “Writing Articles, Blog Posts, and Ebooks - 5 Ways to Set a Schedule For Your Writing That Works” that I think is worth reading. I know, long name, but the article is short and to the point and will help.

The key to building any business is the creation of systems. So as you build up your blog, systematize your needed actions as much as possible. In the beginning you will likely be doing them all yourself, but as revenue comes in, and it will, you will want to look at outsourcing many of these tasks.

The time to start is now, when it is small, so it will be manageable when it is big.

Why Alex Jeffreys Inspires List Building, Online Marketing Blog

January 13th, 2009 | 3 Comments | Filed in Alex Jeffreys

I have been working on building an on-line business for a while now with just a little success and I know there are many that can relate, possibly you. The biggest hurdle seems to be getting it started with internet marketing. There are many aspects to a successful online business certainly but getting traffic in to see what we have is the big one. The successful marketers keep telling us that the profit is in the list. And I agree that it is, but getting the opt email list built was proving difficult until now.

Well, that’s why I joined Alex Jeffreys coaching program, to learn list building, but I had no idea I would get THIS much out of it! It’s way more than just list building, This Alex Jeffreys guy, what’s the big deal? Now before joining I didn’t know much about him. What I did find out that helped me decide to get involved was that he has increased his income very quickly. Why not learn from someone on the move right now as methods change here online. I want to get what is working right now, don’t you?

How Will This Help Me Make Money Online?
Hold on, I know you are perhaps wondering already, why should I read this about this Alex Jeffreys guy and his Marketing With Alex coaching program someone else is taking? I understand, but read on and I think you will understand why soon. Alex truly believes in giving first. Providing high value and the money will follow, it sure has for him. The key is, he’s giving away the farm here. He’s not holding back his precious little secrets as many do. He is open and available, not one to hide behind the curtain, nor is he pretentious or arrogant about his quick success. That’s why his coaching program is called, “Marketing With Alex, We’re Marketing With You And for You. . .” Over a year ago he wrote a book sharing what he is doing, “Gurus Dream” - well worth reading.

The big deal about Alex and his internet marketing business again is that he has gone from zero to $500,000 a year in two years. Yes, two years, and he is now working on the next year, he should hit the one million in 2009. Now this is what I want to follow! So I did it and the price was so low for a coaching program. Actually the low price caused me to be a bit leery at first, by my gut was telling me everything was right about him. And I figured I could get something out of it. Sorry, I better not reveal the price, won’t be like that again, but believe me, it’s already worth thousands – and we are maybe half way through at my writing this.

Relationship Marketing Includes Everyone
It turns out Alex Jeffreys is a great guy but more important, real, open and giving of himself particularly when it comes to how he is becoming quickly successful. The main point to convey about Alex is his philosophy of doing business. He strongly believes in relationship marketing. This is where you build relationships with people first by giving lots of value and helping them with their needs. This style fits in well with all the new social networking that is blossoming all around us.

So you may be thinking, how did this Alex guy move up so quickly? First, he just ‘gets’ internet marketing, but also he has become well connected with many of the very successful marketers. He has mentored under Mike Filsaime and Rich Schefren. He has done joint ventures with many top marketers, being called the “Triple Threat Affiliate” by one of these top marketers. He must be doing things right, he has shown to get much higher percentage results from his email list than those top people.

Get Well Connected Here
He just got back from a private cruise on Andrew Fox’s yacht with 5 multimillionaires. He was the only non-millionaire in the group; this is how much they respect him. These guys know how this internet marketing thing works. Alex has the ear of these successful ‘gurus’ which has helped him immensely with his rapid growth of and online income. And now he is passing it on to others. Through our social networking we are quickly getting integrated into the level of many people who really know what they are doing.

Getting to know many people in the internet marketing industry is how you find those you will want to associate with and do business with, and even make friends with. I never imagined I would be Twittering with certain people so quickly, it’s amazing what happens through association.

A Whole Business Making Money Online
Now, how does this affect you and I with our desires to become successful with our own internet marketing business? As I mentioned earlier, I am in Alex’s “Marketing With Alex” coaching program along with 499 others, and he is definitely giving a lot of himself with this training providing exceptional value. Most of the on-line conference calls in the training have gone for at least five hours each. Yes, you read that right, and there are to be several in total. Not sure how many because he just keeps adding in more and bringing in guest experts to talk to us. He is truly providing us with the latest information, exactly what successful people are doing right now.

There is no question we are getting up to date and even cutting edge information about what is effective today online. Bringing in ‘traditional’ online marketing in with social networking, social bookmarking, article marketing, video marketing, and more. Combining the best online money making ideas develops a strong online presence, which is the foundation of a solid and profitable internet business. Of course list building for opt in email marketing and traffic generation are heavily focused on.

People Helping People Marketing Strategy
OK, here’s the really exciting part. Remember how I said that Alex believed in giving and helping as a key part of his strategy for making money online, well this is how everyone in the group is conducting business. There is this group of 500 participating directly with Alex Jeffreys coaching program, setting up internet marketing blogs as a base of operations and getting active employing various different traffic generating methods to begin filling up their opt email lists.

So, even if you are not currently in Alex’s training you still have a terrific making money online opportunity by following and studying what we are doing. I think that you will find this group to be helpful and supportive, and that they continue to create a vast array of information, videos, audio’s, and how-to’s all to help with what we are working on.

A Central Point Of Connection
Now to make this easier for myself, the group, and anyone following along, I have installed a Google Custom Search Engine right here on my marketing blog. What this will do for you is provide you with an easy way to search a whole group of blogs that are geared towards working the methods that Alex Jeffreys is teaching. Plus I will have many additional resources available through the search to provide a fast way to find effective information, tools, methods, people and resources for building a profitable online money making business. It will make it like a giant making money online forum.

I do have a suggestion for those not in the Marketing With Alex Jeffreys coaching program, get Alex’s free list building report, Mailing List Secrets which gives a description of what we are doing so it will be easier to get some benefit from tagging along. And even better is the video set you will be offered after requesting the free listbuilding report Listbuilding With Alex video program to get an even better picture.

Why AM I Doing This Internet Marketing Thing?

December 4th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Filed in Internet Marketing

Yes there is a reason beyond making money. Of course I want to make money, money will be a foundation to the other things I want in my life.

I want to become financially independent. I know, who doesn’t right!

My primary interest is in helping people to live a better life, whatever that is for them.

This includes making money online so that I have the time and resources to do what I want.
It includes working on the mind so that my thoughts and feelings support my success.
Plus, it includes maintaining physical wellness.

I don’t think you can leave out one of these and have the results you want. They are synergistic.

My main vision is to help millions with their personal growth by changing the way personal growth and development is commonly practiced. The mental aspect is really the most critical of the group.

Now that’s what I want for myself, but I want it for you too.

My main goal is to assist people with living the life they desire.

If you want to become financially independent, follow your dreams, have the right supporting thoughts and perceptions, along with the wellness to be able to do this and enjoy it . . . please stick around, let’s do it together.

I will be sharing what I am doing here with developing internet marketing, how, and where I’ve obtained my information.

Of course I am open to help from others as I am learning this myself. I am tapped in with many people that I learn from and work with who I will be talking about here.

Let’s do this, I know I am!

My Intent For This Blog

December 1st, 2008 | No Comments | Filed in Internet Marketing

Hello all,

I’m glad you found this blog and I hope it will be of some benefit to your efforts to succeed with online marketing. My intention is to create a place where you can get truly useful information, resources and connections that assist you with your success with your online business. There of course will be a process of growth here as it gradually comes together.

My hopes include creating a place where active marketers can get together, interact and help one another develop the various aspects of a profitable business. As you know there are several key pieces to the puzzle that need to be addressed but also some not so commonly addressed aspects. Since my main field of endeavor is with personal growth and self realization, I will be including input and resources to help with the mental aspects of building a business, success and fulfilling your dreams. This plays just as important a role as the technical aspects. Your state of mind, how you perceive things as well as your unconscious mental programming all affect your current thinking and ability to take action.

A lot of what I will be doing is to share my progress with developing my business, first to where it provides all of my monthly income, and then on to the establishment of my master vision I have for changing the way personal growth and development is practiced for millions.  With financial independence your dreams and creativity can flourish.

I will be sharing what I have found that works for me as well as methods, systems and tools I have learned about that appear to be of high quality and effective. Many times in my research I run across great tools and methods that I don’t have use for at the time or may just not be using yet that seem to be of value. We all know there is a lot of junk out there when it comes to internet marketing, so I will be careful what I pass along here.

Another service I see this blog performing is getting input and feedback from the participants. Not readers, participants. Together we are far stronger and viable than as individuals. I see this blog as acting like a mastermind in that the participants will all contribute and all win. The power of interacting with other like minded people is almost incomprehensible until you are in it. There are thoughts that just have not popped up in your mind that someone else may see as obvious, and when shared with you, your thoughts can blossom even more.

So, keep in touch, read, share your comments and ideas, add your links, do trackbacks  - share your success!

Some of the categories here may be some you are not use to seeing on blogs, but this is mine and I can do what I want! No, really I see things a little different than most so that’s what you will see here. But if you investigate them you will soon see the value - I hope! Then participate.

To your success in life and business, enjoy -

John
