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

Don’t be fooled, gathering the right information on learning how to sell online is priceless. Seriously, nearly every website on the Internet has one goal in mind: how to make money and spending as little money out of pocket possible.

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.

What could be better than building an income stream that you feed once and pull money out of for ever?

Oh yeah, heheheh, thats the idea of internet marketing.

Take the best of a “continuity site” (also read membership), affiliate marketing and the idea of MLM; toss them in a funnel organize them and presto EIS (evergreen income stream).

Here, in a nutshell, is the plan;

You build a fixed term membership program.
Drive traffic to it.
Convert that traffic to customers AND affiliates.
Help your affiliates drive customers to your membership program.
Convert those customers into your affiliates.
Repeat.

Tony Shepherd calls it Perpetual Motion and has a free report laying out the process.

There are many “Traffic Guru” wannabies who evangelize blog commenting something like this… “Commenting on blogs is one of the top ways to drive hoards of traffic to your site…just surf the BIG blogs leave a comment and the gods will bless you with a traffic jam equivilent to New York at quitting time. ”

What hogwash….Well it tends to be for most internet marketers.

Because most people go about commenting on blogs completely wrong.

If you simply speed post comments on popular blogs to get drive by traffic, you need to cease, pull over and rethink. What are you offering the resultant drive by traffic? Do you have great content waiting? With nothing to make it stick on your blog, where will it go? You may find that there will be a traffic surge, but it will be others coming to laugh at your pathetic attempts.

You will fare much better and for the long term if you concentrate on putting good solid useful content on your blog.

Those fliting visitors that exit as quickly as they arrive do nothing for your sites rankings, and they are not becoming regular visitors that develop a trust and respect for you. You will never get the opportunity to monetize that traffic.

So how do you make blog commenting work in your favor?

Make your comments valuable. The traffic generated will come to your site because it is interested in learning more from you. Then back up your comments with great content that is valuable.

Your ultimate goal is to develop a relationship with your visitors. That positive relationship is what turns your blog into an income stream.

So what do you think? Am I on target or off my rocker?

How are you using your blog to pull in profits right now? Chances are you’re doing what 90% of the marketers out there do and simply have a blog where you post great content and then periodically promote affiliate products or CPA offers. After all, that’s the commonly ‘prescribed’ method of making money by blogging.

While that does work, to a degree, there are more advanced methods that could be way more effective. One of these is: Leverage.

Even if you have no introduction whatsoever to leverage, you’ll find that you can use your blog as part of a plan that uses it to perfection. In fact, the only thing you need (apart from your blog, of course!) is an eBook product of your own. Without your own product you’ll find that you can carry out this plan in different ways – but it won’t be as effective.

So let’s say you have an eBook. Were you to just go about marketing the ‘normal’ way via your blog, you’d probably dedicate a post or two to it, and maybe even set up a sales page. However, you’re not going to do that. Instead, you’re going to take that eBook and extract a chapter that you feel is particularly interesting, and make it into a 10 page report or so.

Now you have two products: An eBook and a report. From that report, you can then create blog posts that talk about various topics that are covered in the report itself. Try to aim for around 5 or so. Each of these blog posts should be aimed at eventually leading the reader to the report itself, which you’re going to be giving away for FREE when your readers sign up to your list.

Basically, this means that when people read your blog posts, they’ll have the option of finding out more by simply signing up to your list and downloading the report for free. In the report, there should also be an option to find out even more by purchasing your eBook!

See how you’re now using a linear plan for marketing?

Truth be told, you could branch things out even further, and create various other blog posts from your eBook itself to promote both the report and eBook. By not promoting the eBook directly though, you’re going to be simply ‘providing value’ to your readers, and it is far less likely to come off as simply trying to palm products off onto them.

At the same time, you’ll be building your list and starting to be able to market more and more products as and when you come up with them.

Using this strategy, you should be able to pull in far more profits from your blog simply by maximizing the effectiveness of your marketing. That in itself will set you apart from the minnows of the marketing world, and let you swim with the big fish!

Are you looking to attract additional visitors to your website?  One of the most powerful ways to do this is through article marketing.  Article marketing will allow you to generate a significant traffic increase to your affiliate marketing website.  This form of internet marketing can help you effectively attract a steady stream of potential customers and other visitors to your website.

The first step in the process of article marketing is to develop a clearly written informational article.  It should provide some value, and should be written strongly enough that it helps to build credibility.   A clearly written article  makes sure your readers won’t just skim it.  By providing an easy read, you will be able to engage your potential customers, giving reason to want more.

To keep the attention of your reader, your article needs to offer some form of value.  This is the basic principle behind online article marketing.  One example of this concept could be to write an SEO-themed article about how to write effective titles for search engine optimization.  A valuable article on this subject would explain the concept and provide numerous examples, giving readers something to take away.

The result of a clearly written article providing value is credibility.  Credibility is absolutely vital if you are looking to drive a lot of traffic to your website or to your affiliate products.  Some of the best ways to build credibility through your article marketing is to inject your experience into your articles, provide references to findings from professional studies, offer facts, provide industry expertise, quotes and so on.

When a compelling article has been written, you can weave in some kind of reference to your products or services. It is important that you take this step in a modest way if you want your article marketing efforts to be taken seriously. You should not incorporate a hard sell, this doesn’t work.  Don’t tell people what to do, what to use, or force them to take your opinions.  Just write a clearly written, informative article, provide some value to your reader, and then use your newfound credibility as a way to generate traffic to your website.

Now that you have your article, you can implement on page optimization such as using your keywords in your article title. Your title should be 7 main words most of the time. Your keyword should also be used in most of your paragraphs, though not all are necessary.

Next time we will learn good ways to select appropriate keywords.

Its no secret, you’ve heard it before, articles and content are awesome ways to pre-sell products.  When you gain your readers trust and warm them up to the product…PRESTO!…your bank account just had a deposit.

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.

Here’s a phrase you’ll grow sick of: The money is in the list.  It might grate at your nerves, but it’s smacking you in the face for a reason – it’s the truth!  Just so we are on the same page, let’s answer the question, “What is a list?”

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.
