Affiliate Marketing Basics: Let’s Talk About Traffic

When you’re just getting starting in Affiliate Marketing, one of the most important things you need to learn about is traffic – specifically what it is and how to get it.

Why?

Because although it’s become somewhat of a cliche these days, the truth is, "the money is in the list" – but that means YOUR list, not the list of the people whose products you’re selling – at least not if you want to be successful.

Here’s why. As an affiliate, your job is to find people who want to buy the products you’re promoting, right? So to do that, you need to write an ad (or hire a copywriter to write it for you), and send people to a Website where they can buy the product.

BUT – there’s a serious problem with using this method. Do you see what it is?

Anywhere from 60 to 95% of the people you send to the sales page probably aren’t going to buy the first time.

1. Most people want to be certain that they’re making the right decision, so they usually need to see or hear from you between 5 to 12 times before making a buying decision.

2. If you’re paying for the ad and sending people to the seller’s Website, the ones who don’t buy disappear forever. (And neither you nor the seller will benefit.)

3. Of those who do buy, if you’re only sending them to the sales page, YOU still lose them forever because you have no way of knowing who they are.
Here’s the solution:

1. Write your ad and send prospects to a well-written squeeze page – YOUR squeeze page. (A squeeze page is a single page Website that has one purpose – to convince prospects to give you their contact information. Squeeze pages should be simple – no flash, no links, and if you use a graphic or photo, keep it simple and make sure it relates to the purpose of the page. How do you convince prospects to give you their contact information? By giving them information that is what they’re expecting to find and that’s useful to them.)

2. Offer them an incentive to give you their contact information. (This could be a free report, a free newsletter, an audio or video product – just make sure it’s related to the niche or affiliate product.)

3. After they’ve opted in to your autoresponder, send them to your affiliate sales page.

4. Follow up with them on a regular basis – mixing good information, free bonuses from time to time and additional affiliate products.

Lather, rinse, repeat. (Once you’re making money from your first affiliate product, move on to the next and then the next and the next.)

The best thing about this is that you can set most of it up on your autoresponder, so you turn it into a "system" and it runs "almost" on autopilot. (There is NO SUCH THING as a business that runs 100% on autopilot – and don’t believe anyone who tells you differently.) Any business – real business – takes work and effort. But by setting this system up this way, your autoresponder does the majority of the work, and you will only need to do simple updates and make sure you keep fresh information flowing.

5 Easy Ways to Ramp Up Your E-Book Sales

Once you've written your E-Book, got your Website up and integrated your shopping cart, you can sit back and start waiting for the money to come rolling in, right?

WRONG!

These days it's getting harder than ever before to be able to get people to notice you – and just because "you build it" doesn't mean they're going to come.

So what's an author to do?

Actually, thanks to all the tools that are available to you – including Web 2.0 – marketing your book – and ramping up your sales – is not as hard as you might think.

In fact, here are a few ideas to get your juices flowing. Add them to your sales plan, and use them as a jumping off place to help you make even more sales.

Create a long-term plan before you write even one word of your first book. The truth of the matter is that you're probably never going to get rich from writing one E-book. So before you start writing your first book, start thinking about your second book. And the first product that will tie into your first book. And the second. And then the third.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Come up with as many different income streams as you can and plan to build them into your plan. For example, can you create a workbook from your E-book? What about recording some audio files that go into further details or give more information. What about doing a joint venture with other experts in your industry?

Sell more books at one time. If your book covers any one of a number of popular subjects – self-help or development, home improvement, business, religion – there are probably corporations, organizations or niche markets that are always on the look-out for inexpensive gifts or bonuses for their employees, clients or associates. Your book could be just the ticket. Although you might have to go down in price – what do you think sounds better? Selling one or two books at a time or selling box loads of them?

Once you've built up your credibility as a published author, it's time to take things to the next level. Have you ever dreamed of attending seminars or workshops as a presenter? What about having a speaking career and being flown all over the world speaking to people in your niche market? If you don't like traveling or crowds, consider putting together teleseminars or holding intimate bootcamps.

Create joint ventures. This is the fastest and easiest way to leverage your expertise and start raking in the cash. Find people who are in similar – but not competing industries as yours. Explore ways for you to provide value to both of your customers while you're cross-selling or upselling. For example, if you own a restaurant, what about creating a special Valentine's Day promotion with the local florist. Offer free drinks or desserts to any of the florist's customers who bring in a special card (that you've provided to them) when they come to your restaurant. And your joint venture partner (the florist) gives you roses or carnations that can be given out to any women when their companion gives you the special dessert card. See how simple that is? Real value that makes your customers happy, and builds loyalty and trust – and positions both of you as the first people your customers think of when they need flowers or want a romantic restaurant or a place to eat during a special occasion

Leads and The Spider Web Marketing Lead Machine

Leads and The Spider Web Marketing Lead Machine

Member: John Arrington
Years in Industry: 13
Location: Denton, Texas

In any business, the money has to come from somewhere. Whether it's from sales revenue or service charges or other transactions, the bitter business truth is that every dime in your pocket used to be in someone else's. It's not a bad thing. Just because you have money that used to be in someone else's possession doesn't mean that the former owner is now busting out the food stamps. Through however many transactions between however many parties, you received money, and they received either goods or services. And that's how an economy works.

On a less Macro scale, in the world of network and multi-level marketing this principle remains especially true and obvious. At the very core of your business, you make money through the sale of goods or services to someone. You yourself may never sell a thing and be living in a huge mansion, but odds are you're benefiting from the sale of something to someone. This system of making sales work for you is part of the appeal of MLM. Downlines. You benefit from the work of others. The more people you have in your downlines, the more profit you are making. Downlines make sales. You make money. End of story. But what's the name of the game?

Leads. The hottest commodity of MLM. If you've got 'em, you've got it. If not, you're going to be working really, really hard to pay for that huge mansion on door-to-door sales and Tupperware parties. If you can get downlines, you can get money. In order to have downlines, you need leads. In short, leads equal money.

And that's the MLM secret, which you already know, of course. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can't make a fortune by yourself in this business. But just because you know that you need leads doesn't mean you can find them. And that's where so many MLM ventures fail. It is a commonly reported statistic that well over 90% of those involved in MLM never make a profit. But you can bet that a healthy supply of leads will keep in you in the successful ten percent.

There's a couple different ways to go about it. You can do what most MLMers do (and fail): make a list of your friends and family (sound familiar?), pass out 'business op' fliers, spend lots of money and have social functions, beg, plead, scream, pass out, wake up, continue. Eventually, the strenuous effort takes its toll on your health and you leave the industry to do something a little more docile and less stressful on your health, like substitute teaching in an alternative high school.

Personally, I I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leadsI spent THOUSANDS of dollars on training courses and "Proven Turnkey Systems"I tried a different Company, then another, then anotherI passed out Flyers, with limited success.

There is a better way. A way to channel leads to your business who come looking for it. The Spider Web Marketing System is a system designed to do one thing: generate leads. And it does so with the greatest effectiveness and efficiency in the industry. It's based on what is called the funded proposal system, a system that utilizes highly developed Internet marketing strategies to bring interested, real leads. The best part of funded proposal, and the great appeal of The Spider Web Marketing System, is that it perpetuates itself, so that it keeps itself going and continues to generate income for you, while continually sending quality leads your way.

There are other ways to get leads. You can put down some serious cash for "lead lists" who will give you pages and pages of innocent people who have been called a hundred times, and you can work off of that. But with Spider Web Marketing, these are leads that come to you. They are "fresh leads," meaning that they have not been called before or come from any list. These are people, who using the Internet, seek out a business opportunity and come straight to you.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System has been great for me because It is a brilliant business model that makes perfect senseI am excited to gain solid leads. Its helped me get more leads, grow my business, and make more money, and helped me on my goal to Gain financial freedomGain time freedomSpend my time with my familySpend time with my grandkidsObtain economic independenceEnjoy my time and my life my wayBe a leader in my businessShare my knowledge with othersShare my success with othersWork less hoursQuit my J.O.B. and be FREERetire earlyBecome a MillionaireBuy my Dream CarBuy my dream house.

Basically, The Spider Web Marketing System is a lead generating machine. And in a business where leads are the name of the game, that's a piece of equipment you can't afford to be without.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System Does the Work for You

As, I've learned, there are many different systems out there designed to help you develop your small business. Personally, I researched . All are built on promises of what they can do and how they will bring you new leads and more money and that big MLM mansion you've always dreamed of.

You may have heard claims like this: "You too can become the next big thing in multi-level marketing, and your home business will explode! (Through this system of 17 videos and three E-books and two training courses.)"

Or maybe one like this: "You too can become a network-marketing guru and leads will flock to you! (After spending countless hours trying to understand, retain, and apply techniques that have taken the author years to develop.)"

The thing that they all have in common is that they will only teach you what you need to know. From there you are on your own. It is up to you to actually make the success happen. It is up to you to spend hours watching the videos, reading the books, and putting in all of the tedious legwork. And for many of us, the time just isn't there. We already have full-time jobs, families, and other responsibilities that require our time. We have lives. Devoting hours of study to some guy's Internet marketing book just isn't realistic.

What's missing is a system that does the work for you: an Internet Marketing/Advertising Agency - a system that will help you develop MLM success by doing the work for you. That's the beauty of The SpiderWeb Marketing System. It truly works for you like an advertising agency.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System does something for you that no other system will do: it actually DOES something. Rather than trying to teach you or train you, The SpiderWeb Marketing System uses a complex system of Internet advertising strategies to advertise you and your business to thousands of interested entrepreneurs. It is extremely simple on your side. You follow the simple, step-by-step video tutorial process, the System does the work, and the leads come to you. It's the easiest way to bring success to your small business.

When you visit the site and sign up for the SpiderWeb System, and follow the simple process to set it all up, the system goes to work for you. Using a streamlined advertising process built around Google adwords and search engine optimization, and other innovative marketing strategies will be used to promote your small business. That's only the beginning of a process that took years of experience to fully develop.

That's only a small part of The SpiderWeb Marketing System's appeal. It is built on what is called a funded proposal, which means that once you sign up, its guaranteed to pay for itself. Not only does it pay for itself, it perpetuates itself to continue to market you and your business through thousands of interested leads. Only interested leads contact you and the frustrating work of tracking down leads ends.

This was such a relief to me because I worked so hard to find leads, often in vain. .

There are other systems out there that make similar claims to help you increase your network and promote your business. Only a few processes actually come close to being as effective as the SpiderWeb System, but absolutely none do the work for you.

Since joining The SpiderWeb Marketing System, I've had so much more success at just about everything in my business.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System works for you by harnessing the power of the Internet and growing your business in the most efficient way possible. Less work and more success come from greater efficiency. The SpiderWeb Marketing System is the most efficient way to develop your business.
