There are many different sites that you can use for finding affiliate marketing offers. Clickbank is one of the most well-known and also very popular and it focus on digital informational products. Clickbank is a great place to start if you are new to affiliate marketing because it has a wide variety to choose from and it’s very easy to get started. They allow you, as an affiliate, sell electronic products even if you do not have a merchant account and the commissions generally range from 50% to 75% of the sale. Right now, Clickbank boasts over 100,000 affiliates that are selling over 10,000 products.
In order to choose the right products, most people look at the “Gravity” and popularity score which is assigned to each product. The easy definition of gravity is a measure of how much competition there is for the particular product – however, the actual measurement is derived by a more complicated formula. In general, you do want a comparatively high gravity when looking for a product to promote, but not so high that it is too hard for you to compete.
Commission Junction (CJ) is another popular site that has many affiliate marketing offers from which to choose. The merchants that put their products and services on Commission Junction tend to be bigger and more established companies who are experienced in product development, marketing, and promotion. CJ also offers many types of promotional links for its affiliates. So, you can promote the products and services that you choose with banners, text links, product links, and search boxes.
Amazon was one of the founders of the affiliate movement and it is a noteworthy affiliate network to join if you want to sell products from your site or blog. While the commissions with Amazon are generally lower, it is extremely easy to get set up with promoting products on your blog or website, and it is much easier to make sales with these products. And you can even choose to set up what is known as an Amazon aStore. Another handy feature of Amazon is that it offers context link ads and Widgets.
If you want to take your analysis a step further, you can take a look at Sitesell. This site allows you to search for the type of product or service you would like to promote and then gives you a list of all of the platforms that offer these products and services. Sitesell offers both CPA and affiliate network offers and it is completely free for affiliates and publishers alike which makes it accessible to everyone — even the newcomers to the affiliate marketing game. This site can save you lots of time in searching for the right product or service to promote and comparing various products/services and networks. New affiliate marketing updates are added daily to this site.
Internet Marketing Apprentice or affiliate marketing beginner, we all must start somewhere..And we must see progress ASAP!
Are you an Internet Marketing Apprentice? Whether new or experienced, there are some tips of the trade that you should follow.
First of all, the lure of working from home in your pajamas with nothing but a computer is almost too much to bear. In fact, more and more people are trying their hand at affiliate marketing exactly for this reason. But in order to be successful in your efforts, you do need to spend time and at least a little bit of money. It is hard work, so be prepared.
If you are an Internet marketing apprentice, start out promoting something that you are familiar with and, even better, something that interests you. As you get more experienced, this aspect will not be quite so important — you will be able to promote things that you know nothing about or care nothing about and still be successful — but in the beginning, it helps to start with something that you will be committed to as you go through your learning curve. Keep in mind that taking this route may not end up as the best converting method or gain you the highest commissions, but it will be easier for you to build a website and to stick with what you are working on
When you do get your site up and running (and, by the way, a WordPress blog is a very fast and way to establish a reputable website), promote more than just one product in the same niche. This also gives your visitors a choice and allows you to track which products are selling more or less.
Always remember the tried and true saying: content is king. “Contents sites” are the ones that offer educational, instructional and topical content about whatever it is they are promoting. And the best of these types of sites actually make the promoted product or service seem like an afterthought. This is another reason that it is easier if you are new to affiliate marketing to start with something you are familiar with and/or interested in. While content is important, your main goal is to drive visitors to the sales of your affiliate products, so make it as easy as possible for them to get there.
Do not give up. There is a lot to learn when it comes to affiliate marketing and it takes a lot of work in the beginning. It’s also important to keep up with rules and regulations that change in the field of affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing revenue can end up being passive (meaning you don’t have to do anything to earn it), but it takes a while to get to this point. Most people will take months even to make enough money to cover costs. Keeping these tips in mind when you are an internet marketing apprentice will help you in achieving a profitable status.
Affiliate marketer mistakes can most often be avoided by mostly relying on yourself rather than some new system or tool designed to fool the search engines.
Affiliate Marketer Mistakes
It’s always one of those “I can’t believe its true” moments for new affiliates once they discover the world of affiliate marketing. When they realise you don’t have to worry about product development or shipping. They immediately jump on board, forgetting to perform their due diligence on the company they are joining. Then soon afterwards they expect to start making money within weeks of starting, but reality always strikes. They are yet to be millionaires. Here are some mistakes and tips on how to avoid them.
1, Lack Of Patience: Patience is a Virtue like they say. It took years for MacDonald’s to be a successful; it took years for Microsoft and other big companies to take off to success. Infact most business takes up to 5years to start seeing profit. Treating your affiliate business as a real business is important. Super affiliates that earn $20,000 a month took years to get to that point. Research a program before signing up. Commit to stick it out. If they offer guides and training take advantage of it. Update and maintain your site with fresh contents. Don’t jump ship when the going gets tough.
2, To Many Programs: Avoid the temptation to subscribe to too many programs. When the going gets tough, its easy to think the grass is greener the other side. The problem about subscribing to too many programs at the same time is that you’ll fail to give them the attention and focus they deserve to make you money. I recommend two or three programs at the same time to enable you turn your hard work into cash.
3, Wrong Choice Of Program: When it comes to choosing affiliate programs, choose the ones that have a generous commission structure, and that pay their affiliates easily and on time. Have affiliate products that fit in with your target audience. Choosing programs that offers products that might not interest people means no commission or money for you. If you join a program that offers products that are “hot” you will be competing with thousands of others who are promoting the same product. Choose a niche you KNOW information about! Check the profitability of that niche.
4, Generalized Marketing: Focus on Niche Marketing: Focus on a tiny niche, the tinier and narrower that niche is, the better. Try improving on a single key aspect of your business at a time. Putting your efforts in one of two ways will help you achieve your affiliate program goals. Try getting people to join your list. Then keep in touch with them by sending out valuable info.
5, Organic Traffic Only: Another mistake most affiliates makes is the idea of generating only organic traffic. This form of traffic that is naturally generated by a website, is a myth. There is no such thing! Organic traffic is the one that is created by the website naturally. This concept is nothing but a fairy tale story and this is not a reality.
6, Link Exposure: Hiding your affiliate link on your website is crucial nowadays. Most affiliate marketers still make the mistake of making there links visible. The truth is that internet users have become more sophisticated and the honest truth is that most web users won’t click on an affiliate link or anything that looks like it. You’ve got to learn how to hide your affiliate links to ensure click through’s. Also, stories of people’s affiliate links being changed to divert traffic has happened and is still happening.
There are many big mistakes made by affiliates that can be easily avoided, but these are just a few of them. However making mistakes in business are inevitable and important. I recommend failing and making mistakes fast and early in your business than learning from them. This would move you forward towards success.
A Few Things Baby Boomers Must Do Before Starting a Home Business
Don’t quit your day job just yet.If you are a baby boomer looking to start a home business, there are 5 essentials things you must do first.
Leaving the security of a job with an established 401(k) plan, health insurance or other benefits can create a real tug of war for baby boomers who want to pursue their dreams of owning their own business.
Analyze Your Exit Strategy
At the time of this writing, the youngest of the baby boomers are turning 42 and the oldest are turning 60. No matter where you fall into this group, analyzing and preparing your exit strategy from your job will be crucial to your long-term success as a home business entrepreneur. Do you have adequate savings? If you’re married, will you be able to participate in your spouse’s health insurance?
Create a Financial Plan
How much is your salary now? What are your fixed, variable and frivilous expenses? Creating a solid plan so that you and your family will know exactly what the financial picture will be until your business gets off the ground and starts generating revenue.
Choosing a Business Model and Legal Entity
There are several business models to choose from; home party plans, consulting, and affiliate marketing to name a few. You have to make the decision based on your personality and what you are best-suited for. Choosing a legal entity for your business should be discussed with a tax accountant or your attorney. Options are sole proprietor, LLC or Subchapter S- Corp.
Set Business Benchmarks
You wouldn’t travel across the country without a road map, your business is the same. Setting financial and business-building benchmarks will help you to create a focused plan that will help you to reach your success.
Get a Physical
What does getting a physical have to do with your business? Once you leave your job, most likely your health insurance will change and as unfair as it may be, trying to get new health insurance when in your 40’s, 50’s or 60’s can be difficult. While pursuing your dreams of a home business is something you are probably very passionate about, if you do not have good health to enjoy the rewards of your efforts, then not much else is important.
The baby boomer generation is like no other before it or after it. Technically, we are considered middle-aged, but we are anything but middle-aged in mind, body and spirit. We know there is more meaning to life than a commute to an unrewarding 9-5 job, but there are also important steps we must take first. Planning and preparing for your home business now will lead to less headache’s later on.
One of the attractions of working at home is the vision of freedom it invokes — no time clock, no time sheets, and no one to account to for how you spend your time. Yes, it is an attractive proposition, but like so many attractive propositions there is a heavy downside — you are likely wasting a lot of time.
I have always dismissed it as a waste of time — that is until my home business recently took off and I realized there simply wasn’t enough hours in the day to accomplish all my goals.
I now have my own spread sheet and agenda for the day and I have improved my productivity and reduced my stress immeasurably. If you don’t think you need a schedule for your home business then think again — and read on.
After a spate of relatively unproductive days when my “To Do” list seemed to grow exponentially every time I looked at it I knew something had to change.
Granted I was going through a rough patch. My home business was experiencing growing pains and taking up more than the usual time, my four-year-old was only in preschool part-time, my husband wasn’t pulling his weight on the home front, and my extended family was experiencing a number of crises. But I’m also old enough to know there is never a perfect time in life — you just live the one you’ve got. These are simply the problems I’m dealing with this year. Next year these problems will be traded in for new fresh ones.
After studying my time and chatting with some other work-at-home folks, I discovered five reasons to embrace the schedule:
1. It’s too easy to waste time doing nonpriority tasks
2. It’s too easy to get sidetracked or distracted from your current task
3. Unscheduled work time can often overlap into your free time until you don’t have any free time at all
4. Your free time can overlap into your work time until you fall behind with important projects
5. Concentrating your time and effort on highest priority projects means more gets done
I’m not the only work at home business person encompassing the schedule. I recently took part in an online forum where men and women had moved to embrace it — and found it more freeing than restrictive. After all, you are still the one setting the schedule so you are free to schedule yourself off for a 3-hour lunch, an afternoon, or a whole day whenever you choose.
If you find it difficult setting up your schedule and priorities for the day and week then perhaps your significant other or a friend can help you set your schedule.
On average lately, I earn about $6500 a month in affiliate income. Not bad, since affiliate marketing is not the core of my business. But real super-affiliates earn six figures a month. Today I'll tell you how.
OK, let's get started. As I mentioned, I'm not a huge affiliate marketer. Some people call me a super affiliate because I can generate a lot of affiliate sales quickly. But I don't consider myself a genuine super-affiliate. Not by a long-shot.
I make my affiliate sales via my email lists. When I discover a great new product or service that I know will help a lot of my subscribers, I tell them about it. When people buy, I earn commissions.
This is a popular publishing model online, and it is used by many people quite successfully. Some even grow massive lists, promote offers continually, and become genuine super-affiliates.
But the biggest super-affiliates, the folks that do six figures a month, do it another way. They BUY traffic.
The Traffic Buying Model
Here's how the highest performing affiliates on the Internet operate...
First, they don't stick to any one niche. They continually test new offers by sending small amounts of paid traffic to new landing pages.
They may only get one real winner for every 5-10 they test, but when they find one, they hit it hard. They quickly ramp up the successful offers to huge numbers by buying traffic. Lots of traffic.
It's a basic equation really... the more targeted traffic you can send to a top performing affiliate offer, the more money you can make. Even if you have to pay for that traffic.
Now you may be wondering if it's so simple, why don't I do this and become a genuine super-affiliate?
Well, for one thing there's the time factor. It takes time to constantly test new offers in all kinds of niches, build landing pages and drive traffic.
I prefer to stick to one niche, and help people one-on-one, like I do in my coaching program. While I don't make six figures a month doing that, it is less time consuming and leaves me lots of time to do other things I enjoy in life.
But perhaps the real reason I'm not out there buying traffic is because I have the luxury of a following that I've built up over the years.
For some odd reason, people keep reading my newsletters and emails, and it keeps me from having to buy traffic. Which is great, since I'm sort of a cheapskate.
That said, I also understand that most newcomers to online business do NOT have that luxury, and growing a following takes time. Buying traffic is the best way to get a quick start.
If you're interested in buying traffic or becoming a super-affiliate, read on.
Right after this quick message from today's sponsor, Steve Manning, I'll tell you more about the buying traffic model, and how you can get in on it.

OK, so you'd like to explore the possibility of becoming a super-affiliate. You like the idea of six figures a month from home. (Who wouldn't!)
But before you can hit that lofty goal, you need to work your way through the learning curve.
Learning curve?
Yes. This is not for the faint of heart. You see, there are literally thousands of products and services available for affiliate marketers to promote.
Selecting the right programs can be hit or miss.
While there are some research techniques you can use to pre-qualify products, it is far from an exact science.
The best places to find lucrative affiliate offers is at affiliate networks. While there are lots of networks to choose from, most super-affiliates stick to one of these four networks:
CX Digital Media
ClickBooth
Commission Junction
ClickBank
A quick browse through those sites will give you an idea of just how big affiliate marketing has become. Super-affiliates have an almost limitless supply of offers to choose from.
And selecting the programs you want to promote is just the beginning.
Next, you need traffic.
Remember what I wrote earlier? To get to super-affiliate status you'll need a TON of traffic. The top tier of super-affiliates shell out big bucks for this traffic. (Most of them started small though, and you can too.)
Currently, the place way to buy traffic to send to your affiliate offers is at Google's Adwords program. But what many experts don't tell you is that Adwords is a pay-per-click beast that can be tricky to tame.
I could write volumes on the ins and outs of Adwords. Sure, it's easy to sign up and get started, but ramping up to huge traffic is a whole other ballgame.
You need perseverance, cunning and oh yes, some capital to start with. Sure, you can start with $50 or so, but the more you can lay out in the beginning, the faster you can build your super-affiliate status. (But don't go too fast or it will eat you alive and max out your credit cards in a hurry.)
Unless you know what you're doing, you may not have any sales to show for your newly purchased traffic.
Get informed before you jump in...
If it sounds like I'm trying to scare you away from becoming a genuine super-affiliate, I apologize.
On the contrary, I encourage you to look into this lucrative model. But it is imperative that you educate yourself first.
Take a few minutes and read this new report.
It reveals the secrets to becoming the top 2% of the web's elite super-affiliates. The big earners.
There's no cost for the report.
Sure, they do have a paid class coming soon, and you'll get an invite to that. (And yes, if you join I'll earn a commission.)
But you can just soak up the free info for now, so you have a better idea what you're in for.
Hey, nobody said becoming a super-affiliate was going to be easy. But if you get there, it can be quite rewarding to say the least.
See ya in a few weeks...

>>When most people think of viral marketing the first thing that pops to mind is their favorite quirky Youtube video that went viral and received millions of hits.
But that's not the easiest way for the average person to get viral traffic. In this issue of BizWeb eGazette I'll explain perhaps the most important secret to growing your business virally.
Since you've got the technical skills to read, write, and send emails... You can be making real money from your home, office, or living room starting today! It's incredible, but ordinary people all around the world are making huge windfalls from home with the simple press of the "send" button...
Without a doubt, there's no faster or easier way to grow website traffic than an effective viral marketing campaign. It's dirt cheap (even 100% free in many cases) and it can take a business from ground zero to big profits in a matter of months.
I know, because when I started out online way back in 1996, a viral strategy changed my life.
The strategy I used was similar to what affiliate programs are these days. But since affiliate programs hadn't been invented, I didn't even know what to call it!
I just knew I needed a way to spread the word about my first book, so I put together this little plan...
I mailed a copy of my book to 20 publishers in my niche and included a letter. The letter gave them a link they could use when reviewing the book, and it paid them cash for each copy sold via that link. I included also included that letter with each copy they sold, and they sold a lot.
Sure, this may not rank up there with success of some modern day viral campaigns, but it was huge for me. I mean, it changed my life, so that's big.
That simple little viral campaign generated tens of thousands of dollars in sales and more importantly, my first few thousand loyal customers. Within months I was able to quit my full time job and start working from home.
I never could have done it with my own efforts alone. And that is what viral is all about -- getting exposure that grows seemingly by itself.
Some viral campaigns like mine are relatively small, others grow to a massive scale. But make no mistake, they are powerful and have the power to change lives when done skillfully.
So what makes for an effective viral campaign?
As I mentioned at the onset of this issue, many people think the best viral marketing campaigns consist of a quirky youtube video that spreads like wildfire. But that's just one example of a viral marketing strategy. And if you've ever tried that method, you probably discovered there's no guarantee of success with that strategy.
So exactly what is the real key to going viral, they key that practically guarantees success?
The answer to that question is at the very heart of viral marketing itself, yet nobody seems to talk about it.
I call it the WIIFM factor.
So what in the world is this WIIFM?
WIIFM stands for What's In It For Me.
(I came up with that acronym while writing this issue, or at least I thought so. A quick check of the web shows that someone already beat me to it.)
When you apply the WIIFM tactic to viral marketing you simply "reward people for sharing your content."
After all, the act of spreading something these days is easier than ever. A few clicks of a mouse or taps of a smart phone and people can share just about anything via email, facebook, myspace, youtube, etc., etc.
But you have to make it worth their while.
In my example above, I did it by rewarding them with cash. You don't have to use money, but you do have to reward them somehow.
Some other rewards that work great for viral marketing include...
- a free product or service
- a great discount on something they want
- free website traffic
- that feeling they get from being the person to share something really cool with their friends
Think about it for a minute. Just about every great viral marketing campaign you know of probably got great because of the WIIFM factor. It's something you can't ignore if you want success with viral marketing.
So Why Is Viral Marketing So Difficult To Implement?
Millions have tried going viral with their ideas or businesses but have failed. So why is it so difficult?
Simple. It's really hard to create something so cool that thousands of people will want to share it with their friends.
I mean creating a quirky video or creative service for your niche is not an easy task.
That's why most businesses in my opinion are better off PAYING people to spread the word for them.
That means that perhaps the easiest way to start your own viral marketing campaign is by starting your own affiliate program. (Yes, affiliate programs do qualify as viral marketing in my opinion.)
If you already have an affiliate program, you can add some modern viral components to it, such as this new viral content spreader my old friend Yanik Silver is using. (A month or so of using that might shed a whole new light on viral marketing.)
Unfortunately, if you have no product or service of your own you can't take advantage of having your own affiliate program.
But you can you use viral marketing to earn money from other people's products and services. Many affiliate marketers rely on viral marketing to drive traffic to their affiliate URL's.
One way to do this is with free software or ebooks that include giveaway rights. As people pass along your software product or ebook to others in your niche, you get more and more traffic to your affiliate sites.
I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of new technology to help affiliates and other people without their own products and services, take advantage of viral marketing.
In fact, here's a site that's launching next week that lets the average person take advantage of viral marketing. No website, product or list required. While I'm not a big fan of "get rich" type intros like you see there, I've test driven the site and can vouch for it's simplicity, and its potential. (As you'll see they have a heavy WIIFM factor that will undoubtedly explode their traffic.)
And you'll be seeing lots more site like that pop up over the coming months and years. Because viral marketing works.
In closing...
If you want to earn money online, you need to become comfortable with the idea of viral marketing. There are lots of ways to plug viral strategies into your business, so be on the lookout for them and be willing to try new techniques when they present themselves!
See ya in a few weeks...

P.S. If you'd like to start generating some income online, come to make-a-living-online.com. I explain everything you need to know at the site, for free. (No opt-in necessary.)
With 1/3 of the new year gone, lots of people are stepping up their efforts to generate some kind of income from the web.
What most people don't realize is that you don't need to start a full-fledged business to earn money. You can get started with something in your spare time. Who knows what it might turn into. I did just that and haven't needed a job in 15 years!
Today's gazette will outline the steps I took, and the steps you need to take to start making some real money.
Step 1: Forget "business opportunities" and identify your niche!
Too many people get caught up chasing business opportunities online. Unfortunately, most of them are just dead ends. Instead of chasing get rich quick schemes, try the method that has the highest success rate...
Sit down and take a hard look at your own interests, abilities, knowledge and experiences. Anything from these may be a potentially good niche for you to enter. If you think you might enjoy helping others with the topic, then there may be a way to make money in the process.
Once you have an idea for a niche, run it through these potential niche 'filters':
Filter A: Is there a problem that people in this niche cannot solve themselves? For example, 'how to stop slicing your tee shots' is a problem for many golfers, especially people new to the sport. Also consider that the more urgent the problem, the better. For example 'how to save your marriage when on the brink of divorce' is a category that sells very well online.
Filter B: Is there an 'evergreen' need in this niche that is not just a fad? 'How to improve your golf swing' is an evergreen need compared to 'strategies for Halo 3' (a video game). Once the fad for Halo 3 is over, the market in this niche dries up. You want to position yourself for long term viability, so steer clear of fads if at all possible.
Step 2: Figure out what you will sell.
You will need to sell something if you want to make money, but don't worry, there are lots of options. You can create your own product such as an info-product, you can find existing products in your niche and sell them as an affiliate, and you can even even buy the rights to a product.
Of course, the best choice is your own product since it will be unique and you can keep 100% of the profits from each sale.
A few products you can create yourself include an ebook, a special report, and a private member-only site. I've done all three of those and can vouch for their profitability online. Or consider using the latest technology to create your own software titles or videos. You may be surprised at how easy this has become.
Step 3: Put up a website or blog offering a free gift.
A professional looking website or blog on your own domain name tells potential customers you're serious about business.
As for the site itself, you can create it with an easy to use increasingly popular web design program.
If you prefer a blog, take a look at this instant blog site tool now being used by lots of aspiring entrepreneurs.
As far as the site itself, the key component is this... a gift!
You absolutely must give something irresistible away at your site. Giving away a simple special report packed with must-have secrets about your niche, will grow your list of leads for you. Use a professional service that captures your leads for you and follows up with them automatically. Aweber is one of the most used and respected services.
Oh, and as far as taking payments for your products and services, you can do it with a merchant account of your own, or use a service like 2Checkout or Paypal.
Step 4: Establish relationships one at a time (but on auto-pilot).
Establishing relationships starts with your list members, through a series of automated follow-up emails. Remember, the email series you put into place is NOT merely to shove offer after offer down their throats -- your messages should offer real tips and content that truly helps your subscribers. Ask them to reply. Offer more help. This builds relationships!
Next start establishing relationships with other businesses in your niche by linking to them in a flattering manner, and recommending their products. This will get you "into the loop" and eventually, your new relationships will earn you more money than you can imagine.
Step 5: Start establishing credibility in your niche.
You know that ebook or special report you made to give away at your site? Why not put a give away license inside it so others can sell or give it away. This will spread your name far and wide. Just be sure your website address is on the footer of every page in the report.
Next, write an article or do a video every week or so that shares useful information about your niche. Try to answer a few of the most pressing questions that people in your niche ask. Then publish an ezine (email newsletter) every week or two, that includes your best recent article.
(When creating ebooks and writing articles, try to go a little 'deep' into your niche. In other words, if your niche is arts and crafts, don't write about the entire subject of arts and crafts -- instead, focus on one popular arts and crafts project at a time. If your niche is Internet marketing, work with sub-niches such as email marketing or back-end selling.)
Yet another way to quickly establish credibility is to post intelligent comments on related blogs and forums. Be sure to include your name and a link to your site.
Do all of these things regularly and you'll be known far and wide before you know it.
Step 6: Drive traffic to your site or blog.
Use all the free traffic generation strategies available to you, and use them every day. Here's a list of the top strategies available to you at no cost...
A. Submit your site to the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) and to as many other search engines as you can.
B. Write 1-2 articles each week and submit them to the free article directories. Be sure to include a link to your site after each article in your bio box. The articles should be optimized for a keyword your site is targeting. Be sure to submit those same articles to email newsletter publishers in your niche.
C. Find blogs related to your topic and leave useful comments with a backlink to your site. Here's a great free tool you can use to find the best targeted blogs where you can leave your backlinks.
D. Answer questions related to your site’s topic at answers.yahoo.com. Be sure to put a link to your site in each of your answers.
E. Join a handful of the most popular forums that deal with your site's topic and become an active poster. Include a link to your site in your signature.
F. Write a press release about your site and submit it to press release sites such as prweb.com or one of these 60 free PR sites. If you are not familiar with press releases, take some time to do a little research: a press release is not written like an article.
G. If you are happy with a product or service you have used, write an unbiased testimonial and give the creator permission to use it at their site.
H. Start a blog on blogger.com and a blog on wordpress.com, link them to your site and submit them to the hundreds of free blog directories. This will get you plenty of quality traffic as long as you keep your blogs updated.
I. Write an interesting email signature that includes a link to your site, and use it with every outgoing business email you send.
J. Get on myspace.com and facebook.com and link your accounts there, to you your site and vice versa.
K. Submit a viral video to youtube.com. You don’t really need any video producing know-how as a simple PowerPoint slideshow with some background music will do the job.
L. Start an affiliate program for your products or services the seek out affiliates regularly by searching your main keywords on Google and contacting the owners of the websites that come up in the top results.
Step 7: Multiply your income sources.
Once you've been at the above steps for a few months, you'll have some credibility and a growing list of prospects. That's when you can introduce your "premier" product or service -- something you can earn a little more money on.
This is also the time to open your marketing up. Start an affiliate program so your subscribers and customers can earn money selling for you. Contact the businesses you've been growing relationships with and form some joint ventures. Cross-sell related products and focus on some residual income products and services. Explore new opportunities in your niche and create opportunity for others.
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Let's wrap this up...
I realize if you're just starting, this can seem like an overwhelming process, but it really is just a little work each day. Remember, you're not trying to get rich quick, you're building a lasting income source that will go on for years and years.
Use these steps faithfully and you can't help but grow online income. Maybe that's why so many internet marketing gurus say that making money on the Internet is not rocket science. Gurus know that formula inside out and simply plug it in each time they want to start a new income stream.
If you want to make money online, try following that tried and true formula. It sure beats all the hit-and-miss efforts that so many people are making, all of which result in ultimate failure. Come on, you can do it!
I'll talk with you some more in the new year....

At the start of each year, I like to look through my stats then share my top traffic sources with my subscribers.
For the past 14 years I've managed to get all the traffic I need without costly pay-per-click advertising, or other paid methods. No, I don't make a million bucks a year, but my reliable six figure income supports my family of 4 pretty well.
These traffic strategies can work for just about any business, including yours, and they're all revealed right here.
A quick note before you read my 2010 traffic report...
It's not the volume of traffic that supports a web business, it is the QUALITY of the traffic.
I could pay a few hundred bucks today and get 100,000 "guaranteed visitors" to my site tomorrow. The stats would prove they arrived. But I might not make even a dime from those visitors.
The methods I use result in traffic that converts into leads and sales. Please keep this in mind as you read the list below, and more importantly, as you setup your own traffic sources online.
The traffic included in today's report arrived at my main sites...
In 2010 joint venture partners sent some 68,000 high-quality visitors to my sites.
What is a joint venture partner?
It is a webmaster or list owner in the same or a related niche as yours, that agrees to promote your products or services. In most cases, you promote their products or services to return the favor. Hence the name, joint venture.
The last couple years I've taken a more pro-active approach to teaming up with related businesses in joint ventures. Not only have I seen an increase in sales, I forged new alliances with some of the web's top marketers. These relationships result in increased profits not only last year, but for years to come.
So what do YOU need to start profiting from joint ventures at your website?
A. a product or service of your own. (You can get something with private label rights if you're not up for creating something of your own.)
B. an affiliate program management solution (I use both Clickbank.com as well as my private label copy of the 1shoppingcart system -- webbusinesswizard.)
C. A system for contacting potential JV partners on a regular basis
D. A growing opt-in list you can mail your partner's offer to
If you have all of those items or can get them, and you're not doing joint ventures in your business, what are you waiting for? This is the top traffic and sales strategy for many companies on the web. It can work for any business including yours.
Traffic Source #2: Affiliates
My number two traffic source this year is my affiliate force. My affiliates sent thousands of visitors a month to my sites. While my joint venture partners mentioned above are included in this affiliate force, they are just one part of the entire force of thousands.
If you have not started an affiliate program for your best products and services, I highly recommend you do so.
Although there are some minor costs involved with starting your own affiliate program, it is well worth it. Justify the expense by telling yourself that you are hiring thousands of sales people and paying them only when they sell. A web based affiliate program is just that.
A few secrets to success with my affiliate programs include paying decent commission rates (I pay 40% - 50% commissions), paying on time every month and offering lots of tools and tips for my affiliates. I also actively seek out potential super-affiliates (JV-Partners!) on a regular basis. Like with any marketing strategy, a pro-active approach works best.
These days, sites such as clickbank make it is easier than ever to start an affiliate program. Just remember to set up a pitch page like this and you'll attract more affiliates.
Traffic Source #3: Repeat Visitors
A perennial, top traffic generator at my sites is "repeat visitors." You know, people coming to my site who have already been there before. The importance of getting repeat visitors is something you used to hear marketing experts talk about a lot. Lately, it seems that the value of repeat visitors has been overlooked.
Yet repeat visitors are usually the people who end up making purchases at your site. And there are lots of ways to get these valuable repeat visitors.
I get most of my repeat visitors through my follow-up autoresponders and my broadcast messages. (I use both aweber and webbusinesswizard) I send them helpful content as well as a new issue of this BizWeb eGazette newsletter every other Friday.
If you are not already getting lots of repeat visitors, I suggest you try publishing a free web-based or email newsletter. Not only can you earn by recommending products of your own and affiliate products, you can also earn money from advertisers who want to reach your audience.
Traffic Source #4: Links/Content
Getting lots of incoming links to your site is important. Not only will traffic arrive via those links, but a site with lots of incoming links does better in search engines than sites with few links.
The best strategy I've used to get links, starts with content. You write articles based on your niche, post the content at your site AND share the content with other webmasters and article directory sites.
Doing this can benefit greatly - your links will grow continually and your search engine ranking will improve in your niche. That's because your content and links will be from sites in the right 'neighborhood', your niche. This goes a long way with the search engines.
Traffic Source #5: A Free Traffic Network
Though I've never been a big fan of traffic exchange programs, I'm glad I tried one called TrafficSwarm. It quickly developed into a top traffic source and has remained near the top for years now.
There are lots of traffic networks to choose from on the web, and the few I had tried never impressed me. However, TrafficSwarm delivers hundreds of targeted visitors a week to my sites.
I now have a PRO account and at just thirty bucks a month it has been a self-propelled traffic (and income) generator. Don't expect conversion rates as high as you get with joint ventures or content based links, but the conversion has more than covered the cost of my Pro account.
Traffic Source #6: Search Engines
In sixth place last year, and still delivering lots of traffic to my websites are search engines such as Gogle, Bing and Yahoo! The web's top search engines have changed a lot over the last few years, but still deliver high-quality traffic to my sites.
In fact, I've managed to help a growing number of my members grow their search engine traffic as well. There are no tricks to it. It really is as simple as making sure your site is properly optimized with the right keywords for your niche. The rest happens by getting good links.
If you're a Gold member of my coaching site you'll see exactly how I do it by watching this video.
Well, that's it for today's gazette. See ya in a few weeks...

This week I'd like to take a break from Internet marketing and focus a little on something that too many people have all wrong.
Specifically, I want to talk about success, what it really is and exactly how to get it.
OK, I want to start off with the word itself.
Exactly what is the definition of success?
Well, the Merriam dictionary defines it as such:
Success: favorable or desired outcome; also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence
A dreadfully incomplete definition in my opinion.
I like to think that success has very little to do with wealth, favor or eminence. Instead, it has everything to do with attaining your own personal goals.
Success should NEVER be measured through the eyes of others. Who cares what others think of you! All that really matters is that you achieve what you want to achieve in life.
Sure, its easy to think of people as "a success" or "a failure." It's human nature to want to wrap everything up in a neat little package like that. But every life without wealth, favor or eminence is certainly not a failure.
So many people think of success on too big a level, their whole lives. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with dreaming big, the fact is, many of them were successful all along and didn't even know it.
That's right. Too many people relate success with wealth, power, stardom, etc.
That's a sure recipe for failure.
Here's an example of success that many people never consider...
Let's say when you neared adulthood your main goals were simply to find and keep a good job. That's what you set out to achieve. Maybe a few years later you were in a job you didn't exactly love, but it paid most of the bills.
I've got news for you... you succeeded at what you set out to achieve. You should consider yourself a success.
Oh, you may not be as wealthy as some of your neighbors. You may not be famous or a celebrity. You may not even have a lot of friends.
But you set a goal and accomplished it.
That means you are a success.
Even in the eyes of Merriam dictionary. (A favorable or desired outcome!)
So now you may be asking... if that's success, Jim. How do people reach higher levels of financial and emotional wealth?
And I have an answer for you.
Now that we know success can be as simple as setting a basic goal and achieving it, let's talk about something that takes people to NEW LEVELS of success. Specifically, what is the secret to reaching the highest levels of financial and emotional wealth?
Well, believe it or not, the secret is simply....
Setting New Goals After Each Success!
You see, once you achieve even the most modest goal, you gain a bit of confidence. You may not feel it all the time, but it is in you, believe me.
With this confidence, you become empowered to do more. Specifically, you can now set new goals and dreams.
And through your first experience with success, no matter how small or how large, you hopefully will have noticed the plan that was responsible. It probably went something like this....
1. Identify What You Want Next From Life
In order to succeed at something new, you need some idea of what you want to achieve. If you don't know what you want your destination to be, how do you expect to get there? So, the first thing you need to do is decide what you want accomplish. All successful people have at least some idea what they want to achieve. Maybe it's a better paying job. Maybe it's a business of your own. Or a loving relationship with a significant other. Or a household full of loving, caring children. These are all great successes that people attain in their lives.
2. Take Action
When thinking about your dreams and goals you must be motivated and excited by them. Then you must take action towards achieving them - regular action preferably on a daily basis. This is where most people fail. They talk about what they want, but never actually take the steps required to succeed at their goal. Taking action is what separates the successes from the failures. It can be as simple as making a list of things required to accomplish your goal and staying focused on this list. Then each day, taking another step towards achieving your success.
3. Do Not Give Up
There will inevitably be roadblocks that get in the way of your goals. You will sometimes feel that you are going backwards not forwards. But you must remain totally committed to your goals and never give up. If you stay focused and keep taking regular daily action in the direction of your dreams then you will ultimately continue to move towards achieving them. Keep your dreams - your target - in the forefront of your mind and your creative brain WILL provide solutions to any problems you face along the way.
4. Pat Yourself On The Back, Then Set Another New Goal
Life is about living, not accomplishing things then stopping. Whenever you achieve one of your goals, recognize it as a success, give yourself a pat on the back and then set a new goal. That's right, go back to step one and start all over again. You can do this as often as you want! The most successful people in the world do it more than anyone. Just imagine how many times famous people like Thomas Edison set new goals!
In closing...
A lot of people fail to live the life that they desire. Some fail to plan properly, some give up after a few setbacks, and some stop making new goals along the way. If you want to be happy and successful on your own terms, try using those steps above and you're practically guaranteed to succeed - over and over and over.
Remember, everyone who has ever achieved success in their lives is really no different from you. They are just ordinary human beings. But they are ordinary human beings who took the time to work out what it was they wanted from life and then took regular, consistent action to get it. Are you going to join them?
Well, that's it for today's gazette. See ya in a few weeks...

>>One of the most common questions I get goes something like this... "Jim, I finally have my first website/blog up. What do I do next to build my business?"
Today I'll share a daily to-do list that I've used myself with great success. It's simple and effective -- if you use it regularly. All the marketing tasks are free, and they only takes a few hours a day...
Monday: Create and Share Some Content
Write a new article about an in-demand topic in your niche then add your article to your site or blog. While you're at it, add your article to ezinearticles.com -- the largest, most active article directory on the web.
Next send your article to your email opt-in list. (If you don't have a list, put together a few of your best articles and make an ebook. Then give the ebook away at your site in exchange for visitors' email address. This will start your opt-in list growing.)
Finally, add at least one new email message to your autoresponder series.
The message should be one of these three types...
1. a content based message (you can use a condensed version of the article you just wrote)
2. a quick helpful note asking your subscribers if they need any help
3. a message telling them about a product or service you recommend (Focus on product or services that will earn you recurring income.)
Tuesday: Grow Your "Key Contacts" List
Add at least five new contacts to your list of bloggers and email newsletter editors in your niche. This list can be in any format as long as it contains two elements -- the webmaster/ ezine editor first name and their email address. (If you do not have a list, start one today.)
You can find key contacts in your niche at the www.new-list.com directory of ezines -- just click on your niche from the listed categories. Drill down the list and visit at least 10 websites. Drop each one of them a quick message telling them what you liked about their site, then save their contact information.
If you want to save time, instead of using New-List.com, get a membership to Charlie Page's Directory of Ezines.
Wednesday: Write To Your Key Contacts
Contact the new editors on your editor email list. Ask them if they'd willing to swap links, ads or solo promotions with you. This is easy to do.
(Simply highlight all text in the box below, then right-click and copy. You can then paste the text into your email program and replace the words in brackets [ ] with specific information about each webmaster you are contacting.)
When they reply to your message, start off by telling them you'd like to promote their product. That's the best way to get them to listen to what you're saying. I've used this exact email to strike up joint ventures earning more than $20k a pop. If you have an opt-in list and a product of your own, simply tell the editor you will tell all your subscribers about their product if they will do the same for you.
Thursday: Work on a New Product or Service
Research or work on a new product or service that your niche would be interested in. A few ideas include a new ebook, a software product or a membership site. New products and services will keep your business growing. You can offer them to your subscribers and let affiliates promote them for you. If you work just a few hours a week on this, you'll be able to come up with something new at least once or twice a year.
Friday: Talk About Your Solutions
Make Friday a fun, easy day. Surf the web and get involved in a discussion group or forum that covers your niche market. Visit some blogs and read and post helpful messages. Be sure to leave a special landing page URL with each post. These will be some of your best visitors, so make sure it is a professional web page.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention. In addition to these daily tasks, you should be answering any email you get from prospects and customers daily. That'll add another hour or so to your workload.
Why this to-do list works...
It seems pretty simple, doesn't it? I mean, you really can do each of these tasks in just a few hours each day. And they will not cost you a dime. But the best thing is, this really works. In fact, this simple strategy can build you an empire if you stick to it.
This plan works so well not only because of what you are doing, but that you are doing things regularly. What it really is, is ACTION. And that's all it takes for many businesses to go to the next level -- constant action.
Try this to-do list and you may be surprised, or even shocked at the results.
See ya in a few weeks...

P.S. Do you want to earn a full-time income from the web, in your spare time? Discover the ten steps you need to take in my "Work At Home Plan: Internet Based Financial Independence in 10 Simple Steps".
There are lots of different ways to make money online. Some work, some don't. This week we'll take a look at Autoblogging.
You'll discover exactly what it is, and more importantly, if it's really possible to generate income with it.
OK, so what the heck is autoblogging?
Autoblogging is the strategy of creating multiple blogs with plugins that automatically post content for you. It's a way to take the ongoing work aspect out of blogging, while earning money via affiliate links and advertising at each blog.
Perhaps you've heard that this blogging technique is a scam or that autoblogging creates little value on the web.
After quite a bit of research, I'd have to disagree. Sure, many autoblogs are worthless and many even unreadable due to poor quality platforms. But there are many autoblogs that look just like good quality, human-run blogs. And many of them pull together some excellent content for interesting and specific niches.
The reason you may think autoblogging is a scam may be because you've seen a poorly implemented autoblog or listened to someone who's tried autoblogging and failed. But the fact is, there are many folks making money from their autoblogs as I write this.
But Beware: If you use a sub par platform with your autoblogs, you will fail. Search engines easily shut out autoblogs that are poorly implemented, and the few readers you do manage to get will never come back to your blogs if the posts are unreadable.
That said, if you do it correctly, you really can generate passive income with these "set and forget" niche autoblogs.
How much money can you make autoblogging?
Well, that depends on which niches you choose and how many blogs you want to set up. Many autobloggers report earnings of $20 - $30 per month, per blog, and even more in some cases. Multiply $30 a month times 100 blogs and you're looking at $3000 a month passive income. Not bad since there's not much work after the setup phase.
So the first thing you need to understand is that autoblogging, at its core, is not underhanded or scammy. You are simply aggregating various forms of content and presenting it under your chosen category along with ads for products and services that may appeal to that niche audience.
Right after this important sponsor message from my friend and colleague, Jeremy Gislason, I'll show you the steps required to earn passive income from AutoBlogging ...
Now that you know what autoblogging is, lets get into some details...
Just like any business strategy online, there are simple steps to success that others before you have used. Follow these steps and you may be able to join the ranks of autoblogger income earners.
Step 1. Set Aside 10-20 Hours A Week For A Month
"What?" I can already hear many of you saying, "I thought this was passive income!" Well, it is. After you get everything setup and running properly.
Autoblogging may sound simple, but it is like any other online business, there's a bit of a learning curve. But if you are willing to invest some time, and thought when starting out, you can follow a proven system and succeed like many others before you. Before long you could be generating a nice stream of income from your own portfolio of autoblogs.
But you have to face up to this fact first:
Every business requires actual work, especially in the start up phase. This work will entail researching different niches, registering domain names, and getting familiar with Wordpress and an AutoBlogging platform and strategy.
I'll share all that stuff with you later on in this article, but for now just know that you will need to be willing to work hard if you want the payoff that comes with autoblogging.
Once you start seeing some profits, you'll be motivated to setup even more blogs in additional niches so you can multiply your profits. Which leads me to the next step...
Step 2. You Need to Select the Most Profitable Niches
Blogging for money can be difficult. What types of topics are interesting enough to engage readers and encourage them to mark your page and visit it often to read new blog posts? What niches are the most profitable for blogging? The answers may surprise you. If there are products and services in that niche that solve readers' problems, you may be able to make money in that niche.
Even weird niches can be moneymakers. Things like tattoos, iguanas, specific collectibles, hypermiling. Things you may have never considered or even heard of.
Niche blogs give you instant credibility for being an expert or at least having great knowledge in a field. (Especially when non-bloggers land at your blog.) When people read quality content at your blog, they begin to trust that you actually know what you are writing about. That means they are likely to click product and service links at your blog -- links that earn you money.
One reason blogs work so well is because posting to your blog on a regular basis usually takes time and effort. Not many people want to devote that kind of time to maintaining their blog on a daily basis unless they are passionate about the topic. Remember, 99% of blog visitors have no idea that such a thing as autoblogging even exists.
That's why having a system that automates everything including posts, can work so well. It lets you easily have a dozen or even 100+ blogs where you are the expert - each one earning a profit.
Which leads me to the automation aspect of autoblogging, the secret behind all the profitable autobloggers campaigns...
Step 3. You Must Use a Proven, Effective AutoBlogging Platform
As I'm sure you're aware, setting up 10, 25, 50 or even 100 blogs or more, would be extremely time-consuming. Adding valuable content to each of those blogs on a regular basis, would be well... impossible.
That's where autoblogging platforms come in.
These tools cost anywhere from a few bucks to thousands of dollars a year. I've researched quite a few of them and some are really good, while others are horrible.
The worst platforms are difficult to set up and leave your blog posts looking like a Martian wrote the posts. The best platforms cut your setup time by 90% or more and the auto-posts read like a real human wrote them.
If I were to get into autoblogging, I would start with a program called Blog Blueprint.
Blog Blueprint includes all the training and all the automation software you need. The creator, Jason Potash has been around for a long time online and has been developed a hybrid style of autoblogging that's quite profitable.
He mixes the human element in which is what makes the difference between horrible autoblogs and profitable "semi-automatic" blogs. His training videos show you everything you need to build a profitable business using his technique.
One of the key components of his package is a program called Auto Blog Buddy, which is a powerful plugin for self hosted WordPress blogs (it does not work with blogs hosted at Wordpress.com).
Auto Blog Buddy is an auto-assisted solution for adding quality content to blogs. The content is unique and tightly targeted to the market of the blog's audience. Most importantly, the content is human moderated so it actually helps, (not hurts like most autoblogs) you get your rankings in the search engines… even Google.
In closing...
Autoblogging can be a viable alternative to the info-product model I use, and can work really well if...
1. You're willing to spend time getting everything set up properly
2. You select profitable niches and continue building autoblogs across a wide variety of subjects
3. You use a proven, effective autoblogging platform that makes easy work of setup and adding quality posts regularly to your blogs
Well, that's it for today's gazette. See ya in a few weeks...

P.S. If autoblogging is not for you, grab my free Info-Product Formula. It explains how to copy the model I use to earn my living online.
I suggest all small and home businesses online have at least 4-5 different income generating strategies. Today I'll show you my top six so you can copy them if you want!
1. Info-product Marketing
Marketing your own info-products is a solid model that works online. While I really like this model, I'll be the first to admit it is time consuming writing books and creating software. Not to mention the fact that they become outdated rather quickly in this arena.
But the profits are there if you create solid products that help people save time or money.
I'll probably never get away from info-product creation completely, but over the years, I've found many other income generating strategies to be less time consuming and just as lucrative...
2. Affiliate Marketing
I soon figured out how much work it was creating my own training material, and realizedI could only come up with one or two products a year at the most. That's when I decided I needed to broaden my product line via an easier method.
Affiliate marketing fit the bill perfectly. I simply went out searching for other solid books and software products in my niche and tried them out. Then I would tell my readers about the best products. Each sale that was made I'd earn a commission.
I still use this method today and despite how crowded this niche has become over the last decade, it still works pretty well. The key is to weed out the junk by personally reviewing each and every product or service you recommend.
In fact, if you use this technique in other, less crowded niches you'll likely find that it's one of the easier ways to generate income online. Of course it helps if you have a subscriber list. If you don't I suggest you start growing your own right away if you want to take full advantage of affiliate marketing.
3. Selling Advertising
The next income strategy I implemented was selling advertising in this newsletter. Early on I sold classified ads and had up to a dozen or so in each issue. It was a solid earner but there was a lot of ad juggling involved. I also wasn't comfortable with having so many classified ads, so I decided to move on to sponsorship ads. That way I could reduce the number of ads per issue to just three and offer more space to each advertiser.
Just recently I've added a few other advertising opportunities including an annual traffic partner plan as well as banner ads and solo ads. It's important to offer variety to advertisers. If you publish a newsletter or have an opt-in list of your own, you may be surprised at how many people on your list may be interested in reaching you readers.
4. Membership Sites
A few years ago when I noticed info product sales declining and more and more competition coming onto the scene, I decided it was time to try a new model. That's when I opened my first membership site.
At my member site I give away silver memberships to show people my Info-Product Formula. As they sign up I offer them a low cost Gold membership that includes unlimited coaching from me, as well as access to hundreds of training videos and specialized products.
If you have specialized knowledge in any niche, there are people who will be happy to pay a small fee to have access to that knowledge. A membership site is a good way to reward your loyal followers with a low cost option to work with you directly.
5. Private Label Rights
If you've created a few products in your business, you may want to consider letting others buy the rights to those products. I know many marketers who make their entire living doing this, as the market is huge for good private label products.
I resisted doing this for years but finally decided to open up rights to my products a few days each year at Guru-U.biz. It has been much more popular than I expected, even at $300 per license.
My best advice if you want to do something similar, is to limit the number of people you sell rights to, and make it available only occasionally, to keep that number low. Not only does this give it more value, it keeps competition among resell rights holders to a minimum.
6. Google Adsense
This is an income method I resisted for years, that I have finally begun using. If you're not familiar with it, Adsense is Google's ad program for content publishers. To put it in their own words... Google AdSense is a free program that empowers online publishers to earn revenue by displaying relevant ads on a wide variety of online content.
In fact, some of the ads in this publication today are being served from Adsense. You probably didn't even notice since their not the traditional text type adsense ads you see at most sites.
I've also starting building informational blogs in different areas of business that interest me, such as Contractors Liability Insurance and I'm monetizing the blogs using Adsense. Setting up blogs like that can be done in about an hour, even if you're like me and have had no experience in blogging before.
Another niche I'm familiar with that I've set up a blog for is Forklift Certification. This is a profession I've had experience with in the past and I enjoy writing about it and helping others interested in it. (Yes, I drove a forklift in a warehouse back in the 80's before there was an Internet - and I loved it!)
Again, I'm monetizing those blogs via Adsense and have plans for even more blogs in a variety of business related niches. This is something just about anyone can do, and I'll be showing you some clever ways to generate ad revenue doing this, in a future BizWeb eGazette.
In closing...
If you're relying on just one or two income strategies online, you may be short-changing your business. Try plugging in one of the strategies I showed you above. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.
Well, that's it for today's gazette. See ya in a few weeks...

P.S. Did you want to Make A Living Online? If so, visit my site, Jim Daniels Free Coaching -- it explains the exact model I used to get started earning my living online - 14 years ago.
Today's socially-engaged customers like to talk. And whether they're communicating via email, phone, in person, on social media or via some other channel, they expect to be heard.
The way customers used Facebook and Twitter to shout down the Gap's new logo last year is just one dramatic example of the impact today's empowered social consumers can have on a business.
For entrepreneurs, more vocal consumers present a challenge and an opportunity. It means you know exactly what customers are saying about you -- both positive and negative comments. Customer comments can give you insight into what's working and what's not working with your product or service. As the owner, you should participate in the conversation and use customer feedback to make smart business decisions.
Here are three ways to show customers you're listening to their feedback:
* Three Ways to Spark Engaging Social Conversations
Know Where to Look
If people have complaints about your products or services, you want to know about those problems and fix them as soon as possible before other disgruntled customers chime in. If they're saying positive things, you want to know that, too, to determine where you're succeeding and figure out how to build on your strengths.
Get a read on what's already being written and said about your business by:
* Searching for your business name and the word "reviews" on Google, Bing, Yahoo! and other search engine sites.
* Checking review sites such as Yelp, Epinions, Google Places, and Angie's List.
* Searching Twitter for mentions of your business.
Get Your Customers Talking
An active listener solicits feedback and encourages two-way conversation with customers. You want to monitor conversation and participate in as well as inspire discussion. Some great ways to do that are:
* Crowdsource on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to learn more about what topics are hot in your industry.
* Use Twitter hashtags to get conversations going and track them.
* Use your email newsletter, social media, blogs and other content as jumping-off platforms to stir up conversations.
* Survey and poll customers about what issues are most important to them. Ask them in your store, on the phone or wherever you meet them. Involve vendors and partners in the conversation, too.
* Pick up the phone at the end of a major project or sale, while the experience is still fresh. Ask customers where you could have done better.

Respond to Customer Feedback
Your customers have spoken. You've listened. Now what you do with the information?
* Report back on how customers' input is informing your business decisions -- whether you're making adjustments in your business, offering new products or services, varying price points and/or how you package services, changing your customer service operations, etc.
* Ask the hard questions. Prod customers to give you their honest opinions, even if you might not always like what they have to say. Customers who keep negative opinions to themselves are more apt to choose your competitor next time around. Give yourself the chance to build on your successes and make improvements where you've fallen short.
* Highlight your praise. Satisfied customers are your best salespeople. Create share-worthy content featuring their faces, voices and words. Feature your rave reviews as print or video testimonials, success stories or case studies. Share customer stories in your email newsletter, on your blog and across social media.

Don't assume you know how your customers feel about your business. You can't really know for sure until you ask, listen and get a dialogue going.
Owners who don't listen to their customers are missing out on a priceless opportunity to see their business through their customers' eyes -- and to use that intelligence to improve the customer experience. A reservoir of raw, unfiltered business intelligence is yours for the asking, if you're willing to listen.

Normally a person 1st starts out on the internet to produce some additional money, they typically tend to begin advertising other people's items to create affiliate commissions. This can be a good solution to begin, and it is also not something which should be stopped! But many times people stop here after making a an extra $1000.00 - $2000.00 per month. Now let me explain.
When you have built up a nice on-line enterprise, time can turn out to be tight and you may begin to receive a lot of delivers to promote other people's products. You will not be able to promote them all, but you need to still try to help by advertising items which your visitors and clients will enjoy.
The difficult part is deciding which items to promote and how you can advertise them.
The average way of thinking to market a item is by means of opt-in e-mail, and that can operate wonderful. But numerous net marketing 'gurus' say that you need to only e mail your list a few times a week, and some say once a day. So there is a limited amount of time with which you are able to send promotional emails to your opt-in subscribers.
I would like you suggest another way that you can advertise affiliate provides to keep the dollars coming in month after month without you getting to function all the time.
The easiest strategy to do it is with your own info product or service like an ebook or video course. The product or service itself is going to be yours, so how do you make affiliate sales? You can quickly make a lot more affiliate commissions by basically recommending various goods and services as resources to use in your solution.
As an example, if your product or service is about how you can build an opt-in e-mail list, then it is possible to advise an autoresponder services that your buyers can use to assist them do that. If anyone wants to begin a good quality opt-in list, then they will need an autoresponder, so why not recommend a great 1 to them?
If they purchase the item or service that you simply recommend, then you can make an affiliate sale. This can be how you are able to make much more affiliate commissions once you run out of time advertising affiliate presents utilizing other techniques.
This really is just a single of numerous powerful reasons why you have to produce your individual merchandise to sell online. There are lots of methods to create dollars on the web, but having your personal good quality product or service that people are interested in is a single of the top income makers.

The broker website(s) you sign up with permit you to create a unique affiliate marketer hyperlink. This really is where you are going to drive your on-line visitors.

Unfortunately, these links are a bit extended and unsightly, so the thing to complete should be to invest in a URL (as low as 0.99/year for any.info URL or about $10/year for any.com).

Follow these 5 actions to obtaining started out with an internet advertising system.
The easiest and simplest way to make a full-time income would be surveys, by a long shot. And it's a long shot because there is absolutely no learning curve, all you do is answer a few question, or you
may answer many questions depends on the amount of money you want to make.
But in order to find one that is legit can be challenging because so many are not legit and are scams, and when I say so many I mean most of them were indeed scams. But since then the feds and
google shut most of them down but there are still some out there preying on honest folks looking to
legitimate added income into their household.
Follow these fairly simple rules and you'll never fall prey to a scam, promising income and stealing yours.
1) Make sure a outside company pays you for the work you produce, a real outside company not the same company owning the paying company. This is by far the most important because if you have a
third company tracking your production and paying you as well, you really cut your chances of being
scammed close to "0".. I recommend two companies for this clickbank and joebucks I am not selling
these two company's. But these are he only two that will allow you to get back any money you may
have lost, and the only two that have been around for over 10 years and will not service any company
that has too many complaints. In other words if you complain to them about a particular company that made you promise it has failed to keep not only will they give you a full refund of any and all money you may have lost but they will also publicize your complaint, and after so many complaints they will
refuse to service those companies as well.
2) When looking for one make sure they have been around for some time at least 4 years, any survey company that has been around for 4 years is done something great. Most come and hang around for about 6 months to a year, not counting the ones that just keep changing their name every six months.
3) Consider the history of the company not the price. Often people don't feel they should have to pay to work online, but this just is not so. The survey company itself has to go out and find the surveys and has to offer a way to pay you if it is legit, keep records for taxes,and hire bookkeeper to cut your check (most people that do surveys do not have paypal account). And companies know that they must get a commitment from you, in other words people sign up for affiliate programs all day long but never get around to working the program (92% of people that sign up for a free affiliate program never attempt to sell for the merchant). Again if these guys offered their program for free people would sign up and just quit. After a month or so many of these survey programs will send you some free stuff in the mail (not junk) like free detergent, toothpaste, household goods you may have mentioned you liked on one of the surveys.
And lastly how mush money can you make from surveys? well that all depends on how much the survey's are paying normally you will be given a choice of survey's you want to fill out a $1.00 - $75.00 most successful people stay around the $5.00 - $6.00 survey's these take about 5 - 10 minutes to fill out. It is fairly easy to make $20.00 - $30.00 per hour working these. Those paying $75.00 per survey take too long to fill out (about 4 - 6 hours) they do have many survey's in between $6 - $75 but I am just sharing with you the strategy of those that make a couple to a few hundred dollars per day.
Keys to Successful Survey Income
One key only fill out the survey, complete the survey as soon as possible, put a number or letters in he box. None of the questions are hard but I will give an example of the person making $200.00 in 4 hours and the person making $40.00 in those same four hours. When asked the question "How many pair of shoes do you own?" the person making $200.00 puts an estimate in the box and moves on to the next question, while the person making $40.00 goes upstairs and counts their shoes.
Affiliate marketing programs for beginners is something the most popular affiliate marketing programs either never thought about or just could not master. I find that most people who need these programs the most are most always the ones that think it’s too small for them, and they would rather keep going down the same old road of going from one system to another or shall I say keep falling for one well written sales page and another.
<<
>>
I changed my list of top ten for a couple of reasons 1, because two programs found a clever way of getting a thousands and thousands of affiliates to sell their systems and one even had his as the number one seller in clickbank for few months. You may ask, what's wrong with that? well that meant the only ones making money from his system was the affiliates and not the people using the system.
What this does is force me to not use sales as a rating, but instead use the following factors, how long has the company been in business? how long does the average person stay with this company or system? if it is not 6 months at least it is not considered to be on the list, and is the average full time person in this making over $3000.00 per month after 7 months? and $1000.00 part time? again if the answer is no to either it is not considered for listing on this page, and finally all companies must be in business for the last 4 years at least.
If you are just starting out and looking for some extra cash and a way to make it online, stick to the rules listed above and you can not go wrong. Because regardless of what some may think scams in the home based business industry don't last for years, just a few months normally.
But I do find some faults with some users of these systems or programs, like most people will buy it and never put the time in it.
I often say some will treat a internet business like it's a diet or workout, as soon as something comes up it's the first thing they will take off their things to do list.
Quick story:
When my youngest daughter was in the 9 grade and was on the high school track, and I was working full time construction and worked my affiliate marketing business in the evenings. I remembered one day coming to her track meet late because i was working my business and I didn't get there to after she had already run, I was so filled with guilt and misery because I was not there to support her. She and I both knew I had never missed a game or school event her older brother and sister was involved in. So when we got into the car she asked me where was I at? how come I was not there? so I told her I was at home working on the internet business, then I asked her "Jasmin do you want me to come to all of your games? or do you want me to work on the business, so I can buy you a new car when you turn 16 and a new home for the family and be able to pay for your college as well?" her answer was "keep working on the family business" so I then went to every other track meet and worked the family business until it began working for me.
I shared the story above because everyone I ever seen fail never really worked it, made any sacrifices or gave anything up.

MLM When To Stop
Making money with mlm is possible, but it is highly unlikely. The real numbers in mlm is about 1 in every 5000 people in mlm really make enough money to make a living at it.
Secret #1 When you first join any mlm you’ll be told that you have a one out of four chance to make plenty of money and become a six and seven figure income earner by only using their system and working 10 – 15 hours per week. Then after being in their system for about a month you’ll be told you need to be in the top 10% then the top 3%. After about six months to a year or two if you did your homework by checking out other companies and seeing how they operate you will come to the sad truth this may not really be for you..
Truth #1 Look at how many people came and left including the amount of people you bought in, how many of those stayed? How much money did they lose? joining fee? monthly fee? website fee? How many people are on your team right now are making money? The truth is again 1 out of every 5000 are making enough to make a full time living off of mlm.
Secret #2 Your upline is not making money the way they say they are. Your upline will very often tell you how to recruit using a system they never used or tested, instead they read some books on selling and became very good at it. If your upline ever has anything to sell you please do not buy it or any system they have to offer. In other words look for another company to join or get out altogether.
Truth #2 Uplines normally make their money by selling things that don’t work to new people that are just coming into mlm, by holding conference and training calls every week and most always have something to sell at the end of it. Remember if their system really worked they would be more than happy to give you whatever they are trying to sell so you can build your downline and theirs too.
Secret # 3 Your Upline is a dedicated team member. No! anyone that has major success in mlm is a part of many teams anywhere from 5 – 20 companies they are working for and holding nightly calls for. Their plan here is to join company “A” then ask 50 – 100 people that they know from other companies (their downlines) to join him/her. By doing this by they will be getting a check for no less than $10,000.00 in about 30 days, and you’ll be starting all over again, looking for more people to join this new company.
Truth #3 Uplines are often making huge money just by making new friends and keeping contact with some old friends and upgrading their selling skills on a regular..
There is some money to be made in mlm, but you must be careful not to step in any of the traps above..
Making money online can actually be done, but you should not have to pay anyone to get paid. All those places that ask for an upfront fee do is list the same websites that I am listing here. You can also read my other articles to find more paysites. All the sites are free to join you just have to put in alot of time to make a substantial amount of money. Nothing comes without hard work in this world. So Good luck and work hard.
First you will need to set up a paypal account to accept payment from any of these sites. If you dont have one already, click the PAYPAL link below to sign up for FREE. You do not need a credit card or bank account to sign up for PAYPAL.Read all the terms of use to find out if they pay through check as well but I think that paypal is the way to go, it is alot faster too.
Helium is the best paid website there is. At first you start off slow but once you build your writers rep you make money off your articles daily.
DigitalJournal pay you to wite articles, they provide the views so you both make money
eHow pays people to write how to articles.
Epinions pays people to write reviews on movies, consumer electronics and so on.
JustAnswer pays people to answer questions asked by other members.
Review Stream write a review, get paid.
Writing Assistance pays web content writes and copywriters

Magnetic sponsoring is the name of a book that is suppose to show anyone regardless of backgroung exactly how mlm or network marketing is to be done, but the only question is does it really work? This will for sure be answered by the end of this article.
Now first of all I purchased this book over a year ago, and if I had to say anything bad about this book it has to be that this book is the smallest book I ever bought for $39.00, with only 70 pages I could not help but wonder if I was making a good purchase or not.At the time many books seemed to be going for $17.00 and 27.00. Also at that time the company I was with was pushing this book almost like they were making this single book replace everything they were training with almost like making this book the company bible.
I want to make this clear, I do not want to make this article about me and my experience only, but in being total truthful,and honest I was unable to find people that were unhappy, or anyone this said they bought this book and it did not work. I checked all into google and yahoo really deep looking to speak or make contact with anyone that claimed failure and blamed it on this book or anyone that said they took advantage of the one year refund policy again I found noone. So this review for me is kind of difficult to say the least, as I would normally buy the product rate it, and find others who felt the same and different than I and include their results or grade as well.
So back to this review, now book introduces a new kind on sponsoring, something called “attraction marketing” what this is suppose to do is to teach a person to attract prospects or affiliates like a magnet to them, and stop having to rely on famaily and friends to join or sell to.In this area I will give this book or ebook about a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I would give it a 10 but I think it may be packed with a little too much information for someone just starting out. In those 70 pages it gives about 50 little things to do, although you do not have to do them all to see huge results, but I still think it may be much for the person just new to the business.
Rate on “Understanding” this is by far the most important one, most people go wrong here by paying top dollar for programs that were meant for much more advanced marketers. I seen very little junk or scam programs out there for sale any more nowadays, but many believed they were scammed after they made a purchase of something that was meant for the advanced marketer such as pay per click programs, and many seo programs. Magnetic sponsoring level is written very plain and with the brand new marketer in mind, and it shows them how to produce the results of a five year marketer and ther is much in there for the five year marketer as well. So in this area I will have to rate this a 10 because this is the only program I ever bought or reviewed that was for the advanced and the newbie as well.
Final rate on “Results” now this is huge when it comes to reviewing anything even though you can have all the understanding and perfect price for a product but if it does not produce the desired result the full program is worthless.
I can tell you about my personal results although I am trying to stay away from that area but excuse me for saying this one little thing, that I produced my first 200+ leads and my first 20+ sign ups using what this book taught me in the first 6 weeks.
I also like to look at google search results for trends and a few other online tools as well, to see if something is becoming more popular or less popular, “magnetic sponsoring” is searched 2000x to 3000x daily and paid out over 2 million dollars in the last 12 months to affiliates. What this tells me is this program is growing and selling and that my problem of not being able to find any negative information about a program this size is strange to say the least.
I hope you can appreciate my honest review of this program Magnetic Sponsoring.

Stephen Pierce “super cash system” is suppose to be a program that shows you how to make money online and lots of it, but the question is “does Super Cash System” really work? And is it worth the time and or money? I will share you my opinion on this system by comparing it to other systems similar to it, and my personal results from using it.
First let’s rate the cost at $1.00 start up fee for 30 days then $39.00 per month after that. I will give this program a 10 on a scale of 1 – 10 in this area because at any time within those 30 days you can always cancel for any reason and only lose $1.00, other programs like the “wealthy affiliate” and Ewen Chia’s program “super affiliate” which are both similar to this program offer no discount trial periods and cost $39.00 per month for wealthy affiliates and $49.00 per month for super affiliates.But if you look hard enough you can find Ewen Chia’s “Super Affiliates” program 7 day trial for $7.00 but after that you pay $77.00 per month if you take the trial period.
The Second area to rate is “Understanding” in this area I will rate this a 8 or maybe 8.5 although it’s fairly easy to understand, but I did not agree with step number one, which is a good video on staying and committing to this program. I would rather see step one being something like showing new affiliates how to create hyper links in articles. Another problem I had with this program was that after the start up training, the new affiliate has to decide for themselves which way they wanted to go, I think a new affiliate marketer needs much more help in this area and should be told exactly which way to go.
The Third and final area is “Results” this is by far the most important grade, if the understanding is great and has a great price but has poor results the entire program is useless. As far as results are concern I have to say that this is a tough area to grade this product due to the fact that I am only comparing it to the top two programs out there, although there are more than those top two I just refuse to compare this program with garbage or scams. Anyhow the final grade on results I will give this program a 9.5.
I would have given it a 10 but this does have some extra unneeded stuff in it that I just don’t like, so it will take a person a bit longer to get to a full time income using this program. Also in this area I am mostly thinking of super affiliates program which has which has nothing extra in it whatsoever, but super affiliate program will not take a person with no experience to full time income it is made for that someone who is already making a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per month.
My overall grade for this program I must give it two grades, one for the person that is brand new to internet or affiliate marketing here I would give it a 9.6. And another for the person that is already making a full time income online but just want to move to the next level I would give it a much lower score because there just is not enough in it for the more advanced marketer I would give it a 7.0.

Network marketing training with magnetic sponsoring tactics, is often used in today’s online world of network marketing, while the old way of buying lead list and phone calls are becoming more and more a thing of the past. In today’s network marketing world the network marketer is in a very fast pace, face lane online world that produces money fast on demand.
The newbie or beginner network marketer is often told to take your time and work at your own pace, while the so-called guru is steady moving at lighting speed pace and always looking to move even faster. While this may not seem right but I know from personal experience that if they tell most people to move fast to get to where they want to go within network marketing that almost all would just walk back to where they came from.
A great example of this is learning html, if any guru dare say to a prospect if you just do a little html 99.9% will scream and say “I can’t do that!” and that same 99.9% will just walk away and make no attempt to ever learn simply hyper linking which is the only code you must use. Notice how I said used no need to remember all this, if you do not use this go to google click on videos and type in hyper link code, and paste that into your notepad and save it there. Very important if you do not hyper link your articles when you publish them someone else is paying the article directory to have their links placed in your articles. This is why some make huge traffic, create huge list, make fast money on article writing, emails, ppc, and a host of other ways to market copy online.
Magnetic sponsoring is using a well known tactic called attraction marketing, which is basically showing yourself as a leader, or information hub, or someone that has something everyone else really wants if they knew about you. This is showing to become more popular daily as people want to do something different than follow their upline tactics that just has not worked since more people are making decisions to buy or join based on what they find out about you and your product online,rather than wanting to talk to you face to face or even by telephone.

Home based business and information is very vast right now online, most successful online business owners know that learning to sell online is a learned skill that can never be over looked.But the good news is that you do not have to know all of the different ways to market you business online.All you need and must know is one and eventually become very good at that one, and any one will do.
You can learn social networking also known as web 2.0,pay per click advertising, or search engine optimization.The main problem with most people is that when they start out with doing a little bit of all three then more of all three.But never becoming good at any one of them.
Home based business and information can sometimes be hard to find if you want the real deal, without all the smoke screens. There is so much information out there saying which one is better, but the truth is one is just as good as the other.
Social networking or web 2.0 there is over 100 million open accounts on these sites, there is no reason why any one can not get at least one hundred clicks on any website they put out there.And begin making sales right away.
Pay per click advertising is by far the fastest way to drive traffic to your site, but this one is a bit more difficult and more costly to learn. This method can cost thousands of dollars to learn to do it right but once done correctly you will be put into positions to make millions online.
Search engine optimization, on the other hand is a bit slower as far as making money but this method is a whole lot more stable and steady than the other two. Once you do this to any website it will last forever and bring in sales daily.If you get anything from this article make it the following, you must learn to do search engine optimization yourself.Do not pay for this service, because this is the most scam industry online today.
Most companies that offer this service will do little or nothing at all for an upfront fee of a few hundred dollars, then offer a upgrade service of a couple thousand dollars and do a little more and so on.This is why it is so much better to learn this skill yourself, and drive traffic to any website no matter what you are selling.
