While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It’s called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly by PayPal.

Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly by PayPal.

I expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of ‘instant commissions’ played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7DollarSecrets and the RapidActionProfits scripts.

I’ve actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant paypal commission. And I’ve seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.

As soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree, it sounds like a winner to me.

I’ve just signed up and had a look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check out PaySpree

5 Day Cash Machines Will Show You Step-By-Step How To Create Autopilot Affiliate Income!

In order to crank out some serious cash, you need a simple plan of action. In addition to that, you must possess willingness and desire to just start. Consider taking baby steps in the direction of your goals.

Here’s the kicker: Learning how to sell online can help you say goodbye to your full time job if you have the right tools and information. Instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop, be prepared to take the action necessary with a positive attitude towards success.

Cash is king, so it is to your benefit to write down and make known in clear fashion your goal for every aspect of your Internet business.

What I am talking about is setting boundaries that include your spouse, your web designer, and your assistants, if any.

Here’s something else. To get your goal to stick like glue, make your statement the start up page when your computer boots up. On top of that, you can convert your goal into a screensaver. As if that’s not enough, read your goal to yourself at least 3 times daily as you complete tasks throughout your home and business.

Mark my words; you will need to learn the basics about finding a product to sell. But your ace in the hole comes from marketing products online, and building a website.

But that’s not all, learning how to sell online means having a tough skin and being able to adapt to change.

One more important thing is that you should consider creating a blog to help your business grow.

Use your blog to promote any product you are selling. Stay ahead of the game by adding content every single day.

What this means is casual visitors who will happen upon your website will then become regular visitors when they see that you add new content each time they come to your blog or website.

Now, listen to this very carefully. Churning out a profit online will be a lot easier for you if you are able to find a mentor who has already done what you want to do. A mentor knows the pitfalls. In fact, they already have a business plan in place that you could model after. In essence, they can answer any questions you may have.

Pound for pound, learning how to sell online is all about taking action. When you first set a clear goal, and then take the necessary steps to see this goal realized. It really is just that simple.

Your article must be clearly written and informational. It should provide value and be written strongly enough to build credibility. You want your article to be an easy read so it engages your customer and gives them reason to want more.

The basic principle of online article marketing is to keep the attention of your reader.  Do this by offering some form of value. One way to do this would be to write an article explaining how to write effective article titles for search engine optimization. To be valuable the article would explain the concept and give several examples, so the reader could take something away from the article.

Once you have built your credibility you can weave in some kind of reference to your products or services. If you are submitting this article to article directories you would work the reference into your resource box.

Once you have written your article, it is time to incorporate on page search engine optimization. You should use keywords in your article title, in the paragraphs of your article body and in the anchor text link in your resource box. Your title should include seven main words most of the time. Keywords should at least be in the body of the article once, preferably scattered amongst the paragraphs. A key to remember is to keep the article reader friendly while trying to optimize it for search engines.

This article is one part of how to generate traffic with article marketing.

Regardless of whether you are a newbie affiliate marketer or a veteran, there are four positive habits that all successful affiliates have. These four habits will make certain you are a success.

First – Set an Income Goal – Set a sensible goal with objectives in-between. If you want to earn $7000.00 a month in one years time, target an increase in your monthly earnings of $500.00 each month. When you set a realistic goal with objectives you have something to measure your progress. Without goals you have nothing to drive you forward. Including objectives give you landmarks to check your progress. You should reward yourself for achieving each landmark. It gives positive incentive to push onward.

Second – Obtain Good Tools – Invest part of your earnings to grow your business. Proper tools will reduce wasted time and take your productivity to its highest levels. Your investment will grow your business exponentially. Nickels in and dollars out.

Third – Put What You Learn Into Practice – The one big difference between people who have successful affiliate businesses and the people who do not is summed up in this phrase – Knowing is not the same as Doing. If you do not DO you will never make any money from it.

Fourth – Continue Learning Your Business – Participate in forums, attend seminars, read advertisements from other affiliate marketers. There is always something to learn, always something new to pick up. Subscribe to as many marketers as possible. Get a feel for the ones you like and flesh out why you like them. Learn from them.

Cultivate these habits and make them actionable in your business.

After you read it, and put the plan into action…come on back and give us a comment please.

You need to make a plan for your affiliate marketing articles.   It is important to select your topic carefully,  offer good correct information, and article needs to be fun to read.  Then you will be able to draw your readers interest to the product.

Selecting Your Topics

Make a list of topics for each of the products you are promoting.  Put yourself in the mind of your customer.  Your topics should revolve around problems that the product actually fixes.   Those topics are the seed for your articles.

Creating Good Information

The topics you listed will steer the type of information you will provide.  A couple of ideas for simple articles are:

Top ____ Ways to ____

____ Steps to _____

Keep your articles simple.  A captivating introductory paragraph, a couple of informative bullet points in between, and a summary paragraph to finish it off.

Remember not to give the whole enchilada.  You want to be informative and give your readers a good picture of their problem with a portion of the solution.  But direct them to your product for the complete solution.

Drive Them to the Product Link

You will find that the most productive links and recommendations will be in the context of your article.  Find an appropriate place in your article and make your product recommendation, something like “_____ is what I recommend most”

At the end of your article is another great place to put an extra recommendation. 

Obviously you will be limited by the venue you are posting your article to.  If you are putting it on an article directory you will probably be limited to recommendations in the resource box.  If posting to another persons site or ezine they will have their rules.  The most freedom is posting to your own site or blog.

Summing Up

Help your readers by giving them good information and direct them to products that solve their problems.  Then you will be smiling to the bank, and you will know it is an honestly earned commission.

A “list” in Internet marketing jargon is the contact information for your prospects.  So if you have a product or promote products about gardening and I sign up for your list, I’m a prospect that you can market to repeatedly until I unsubscribe.

So why is building a list so important?  Picture this you are an affiliate marketer.  You find a niche you truly enjoy and you start working what you’ve learned into traffic for your affiliate links.

Over a period of 30 days, you funnel 5,000 prospects from the World Wide Web who are interested in your niche right through your affiliate link to the product owner’s site. 

They even buy – yea! You’ve made a 50% commission with an industry standard 2% conversion rate.  That means 2 out of every 100 people you sent bought the product, and your share was $26.00 (as an example).  You earned a cool $2,600 this month – good for you!

But you’re leaving money on the table.  Those 100 people who bought from your 5,000 clicks?  They’re now on the product owner’s list, not yours. So what he’s going to do is send them more offers over the coming weeks.

After all, they are proven buyers.  Over the next 30 days, those buyers fork over some more money for products that complement the original one they bought.  That money goes to the product owner, not you – because you passed on building a list the first time around.

A better way to build an Internet marketing business is to start with a list from day one. Before you let a single person slip through your link without capturing their name and email address, have your system set up to build a list.

You can have unlimited lists for different niches using a simple tool like Aweber.  Every day you can log in and see how many people have signed up, and you can create automated messages to send out to help convert your list into more sales.

Why should the product owner get to cash in on that person again and again when you’re the one who brought him the customer in the first place?  Stake claim to each prospect and leverage your relationship with him for future sales and commissions.
