How To Best Select An Affiliate Program

September 23rd, 2009

Marketing products and services through the Internet is unquestionably easier and more rewarding compared to traditional marketing methods. With the millions of people worldwide getting online each day, there’s an enormous possibility for a merchant to sell his products and generate huge income.

However, merchandisers are not the only ones who can benefit from online marketing. A booming industry nowadays, provides great opportunity as well to individuals as affiliate marketers. In affiliate marketing, an affiliate marketer doesn’t need to have his own products and services to sell. All he needs to do is to refer people to the merchant’s business site for them to buy the products and thereby, earn a commission.

The key to an affiliate marketer’s success is to choose a good affiliate program and to employ excellent marketing techniques in promoting or selling the products to consumers. Why good and not the best affiliate program? There is no “best affiliate marketing program,” as one program might make one affiliate marketer a millionaire and the other a frustrated marketer. In other words, it can be a success to one and a failure to another. But there certainly is a good affiliate marketing program to start with. How to make it best would now depend on you.

But before you think how you are going to make it best and financially rewarding, first think about how you are going to land on a good affiliate program with the thousands of affiliate marketing opportunities abounding in the Internet today. Try to look into the following tips and suggestions on how to best select the affiliate program that’s right for you.

Information, that’s you need in order to make the right choice. It is helpful when you have already focused your search to a specific interest, which may be the theme of your website (if you already have one). In this way, you would be able to direct yourself towards a program that really matches your needs, wants and resources. It would be easier for you to eliminate options that are not suited to your own criteria for a good affiliate marketing program. You can join affiliate forums and learn some tips and get suggestions from experienced affiliate marketers. However, be wise enough to weigh their ideas before you buy them.

The Internet Affiliate marketing program networks are good places to look for choices. Here, merchants and affiliate marketers like you meet. The merchants advertise their affiliate programs to interested affiliates who sign up in the network for free. Third party affiliate program networks are helpful since they provide you with access to a large number of advertisers (merchandisers) simultaneously. You can easily track and compare their sales records, performances, benefits, products and services.

So now you have choices, the next question is which among those options is the right one. Here are some things to consider in deciding which to take and which to reject. First is the quality of the products and services. As an affiliate marketer your goal is not only to make visitors of your site click the link to the business site; but more importantly, to promote the product so they would buy it. If the customers are not convinced upon going to the business site, then you don’t earn. Make sure the products you are endorsing are worthwhile or in the business context, saleable. Ask yourself: if I were the customer, would I buy it? Would I recommend it to my family or good friend? If you can’t convince yourself or your family and friends to buy it, take a look at your next option.

Another is the affiliate program or the merchandiser’s history. Look into their previous and present sales data, their proven and tested affiliate marketing systems and their partners’ experiences with them. Although, success of the program really depends on you, this one is still very important. The sales records don’t only show how good the affiliates are, but they speak about the products’ reliability, market availability and the company or the merchandisers’ reputation as well. Moreover, look into and carefully study the company’s compensation plan. Your purpose for joining the program is to earn, so make sure you’ll be paid for all your efforts fairly.

If you do not have much time to promote intensively the affiliate products by creating banners, graphics and articles, choose affiliate programs that help you create these for your web site. It would be great if the company provides training on how to effectively market products online. Remember that affiliate marketing is a partnership, so make sure your partner is able to support you as you help him promote his products and services.

Take down all the advantages and disadvantages of each program you are considering so you can clearly see the difference among your options; then later, compare the advantages of the programs with your own checklist. Take time to gather all the info you need to choose the right program. Remember an informed choice is the best choice.

30 Day Challenge – Totally Awsome Free Training

September 22nd, 2009

I’m not sure if many people are aware of this, but this training course on internet marketing and Niche Marketing is fantastic. I have personally just gone through the course during August 2009, and found the information invaluable. Go and check out the 30 Day Challenge.

Not only does the course break down the whole process of finding a Niche Market, but also introduced me to a piece of software which is one of the best that I have see and I am now using it myself to help with my business. It help you streamline the whole process of researching the viability of a niche, to looking at your competition. The software of course is Market Samurai, produced by some fellow Aussies.

Market Samurai can hardly be called a “Keyword Research” only tool anymore. In the last month they’ve released TWO NEW MODULES, and a ton of new functionality:

NEW MODULE #1: Monetization Module – In minutes, find the best affiliate offers that relate to your keyword, and create high impact ads with a few clicks (no copywriting required!), and publish these to your blog (with full click-tracking)! You can even add Adsense, Ebay, Amazon or Clickbank ads to your blog in just a few clicks. Turning traffic into cash has never been so easy.

NEW MODULE #2: Publish Content Module – Publish keyword optimized content to your blog, automatically social bookmark it, submit it to website directories, RSS directories, and add it to Market Samurai’s Rank Tracker module so you can monitor your new article in the search engines, in just a few clicks. And here’s a roundup of some more of the new functionality that they’ve rolled out over the last 30 days: – NEW: (SEO Competition Module) – This is completely sick!… Spy on your competitors backlinks with a single click and reverse-engineer their back link strategy which you can then use for your own site!

NEW: (Find Content Module) – You can now take articles that you find from this module and send it to the new Publish Content module, edit, and publish to your blog in just a few clicks! -

NEW: (Promotion Module) – Support for Google’s new “Forum” search engine. Find hundreds of quality posts that you can use to get backlinks from. -

NEW: (Monetization Module) – Calculate the key critical business metrics for your online business, and work out expected profitability in just seconds! -

NEW: (Monetization Module) – Answer critical questions that relate to the success of your Adwords campaign. And this is ON TOP OF all the new functionality which they’ve rolled out over the past few months, like: -

NEW MODULE: Rank Tracker – Monitor your search engine positions in Google, Yahoo and Bing, in just a few clicks. It’s the only rank tracking solution that supports tracking for MULTIPLE blogs, and MULTIPLE WEB2.0 pages – the way that the SEO game is played by the pros in 2009. -

NEW: (Keyword Research Module) – Added the new Google long tail keyword source “Google Search Keywords” – find up to an additional 800 long tail keywords. – NEW: (Keyword Research Module) Zero in on high-profit keywords using the “Adwords Advertiser” column (AWA).

SO, SHOULD YOU BUY MARKET SAMURAI?

In my opinion upgrading to the full version is a no-brainer. I can’t imagine running an internet businesses without Market Samurai.

Actually that’s not true…

I CAN imagine running my internet businesses without Market Samurai because I used to do it and quite frankly – it sucked!

If someone had handed me a copy of Market Samurai when I first started looking at Niche Marketing I would have been like a kid in a candy store. Back then it literally took DAYS to do what Market Samurai now does with a few clicks of your mouse.

Heck, even TODAY it would take DAYS to do what Market Samurai can do in minutes. The only problem I can see on the horizon is our Thirty Day Challenge secret weapon is not so secret anymore.

The word is definitely getting out and more and more people are using Market Samurai to dominate their niches. This is great if you get in early and become a dominator instead of being dominated… but it also means the longer you wait to get started, the harder it’s going to be to compete.

Why Niche Marketing Is All You’ll Ever Need To Succeed Online

September 22nd, 2009

Below is a copy of a post form Jay Deiboldt blog – Stack The Money. I thought this was such an exception post to expalin just how the number in Clickbank work and what they actually mean.

You may not have heard of hm, but keep your eyes out. He has some really useful information that I believe will help a lot of people out.

………………………………………………………………

Yea, affiliate marketing is cool. You don’t have to deal with customers directly – support, questions, etc.

There’s a HUGE hole in it as a business model though…

If you’re selling for somebody else, you’re doing all the work, and they’re sitting back collecting hands-off money while building a prospect and (even more importantly) a customer list to market to over and over again.

That’s why all the merchants in the marketplace who have half a clue, treat their affiliates like GOLD.

They provide them top-notch training tools, articles, videos, reports, graphics, landing pages, and anything else you can think of to help them sell their stuff.

But that’s the point – They show you as an affiliate how to “Work” for them.

And don’t get me wrong – there are affiliates out there making mind-blowing income selling other peoples’ stuff. But they’re WORKING for it.

What if you could just create some training modules, have some articles written, and press GO – while you sit back and the money starts rolling in.

Check this out:

e4e

This is the listing of one of the most successful products in the Clickbank Marketplace right now.

See the two values I circled?

%refd: 90.0% means that 90% of this merchant’s sales that come in are affiliate sales.
grav: 473.41 means (approximately) 473 affiliates have made at least 1 sale for them in the last 30 days.

Let’s do the math here.

The merchant offers affiliates 75% of each sale. The product costs $49.97.

Minus Clickbank fees, this probably leaves the merchant with around 10 bucks per sale. Doesn’t sound like much right?

But what’s 473 x $10.00?

That’s right – $4,730/ a month from affiliate sales. Sales they do NOTHING to bring in.

But that’s not even close to being the end of it. That figure is if every single affiliate of theirs only made ONE SALE.

See where i’m goin with this?

If the average amount of sales per affiliate per month was even as low as FOUR…

That adds up to $18,920 a month! And if they make 50 sales themselves, it puts them well over $20,000 PER MONTH!

Now THAT is what i’m talkin about… And this is just ONE product, in ONE niche.

Not to mention your affiliates are building you a *gigantic* list of both prospects and customers whom (if treated well) will buy from you over and over again forever.

You get your product created, create top-notch training for your affiliates, and sit back while the money rolls in.

You hire a Virtual Assistant to handle customer questions, and you take a nice long vacation -

Or you could create another one, and another one, and another one… got it???

What more do you want to know about making serious passive money with Niche Marketing?
