Setting Up a List Building Page to Sell Your Affiliate Product
November 21, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
If you’re into Internet marketing as an affiliate for someone else’s program, how are you advertising your opportunity? I mean, are you just putting out the same old stale page that everybody else uses, or are you building your own page and list building at the same time?Unless it’s specifically stated in your affiliate agreement, and the means you use isn’t illegal, such as spamming, you can use any means to sell a product. Generally, affiliate pages, emails, and so on are there for your convenience. They at least get 80% of the people moving, who might otherwise take no action at all. Here’s the thing: 20% of the people will be active affiliates, and they’re having greater success because they’re treating the affiliate program as part of their own businesses. They’re more creative, they get more sales, and everyone’s happy.Setting up a list building page to sell your affiliate product is something you should take action on. Give a review of the product away on your list building page, to entice people to sign up for your list. If you’re going to do that, be sure that you can stand behind the product, that you have used it, and proved that it works. The review can be 250 words or less.Your review should include information on the features that benefit the user. It should also give the cons of the product. Nothing is 100% great. Usually, there are small things that you would change, if you had a magic wand. Let people know those, too. If your review is too glowing, it won’t seem real. Make it real. Here’s what I mean:Internet marketing expert, Tellman Knudson’s My Fist List is an easy step-by-step list building information product for new Internet marketing businesses. You will learn how to set up your own domain and web hosting services so that you can get your list building pages onto the Web quickly and easily. For more details logon to www.list-management-secrets.com. It also teaches you to build those squeeze pages without messing with cumbersome HTML. The best part is how to find a reliable autoresponder and how to set it up to make money for you on autopilot. My First List takes all the thinking and questioning out of list building for you.The only drawback that some might see is that you will need to spend money to get the system working, but you know what they say, “You have to spend money to make money.” And in my experience, paid is always better than free.But the very best thing about this system is that it works! I’ve tried it, and am making money with it already, though I just bought it last week. How great is that? If you want more information about My First List, just fill in your first name and email address and we’ll get it to you right away. For more information visit to www.mailing-lists-profit.com. This might not be as good example an example as a straight affiliate page because an affiliate link for My First List would lead to another squeeze page. People might be shy about opting-in twice before they even see what the product is about, unless they’re very excited by your review. However, if the product you’re selling has a sales page or it’s just to their main website, writing something like this and adding it to a list building shouldn’t be a problem. This is just an example.Anyway, after they opt-in to your list and confirm their membership, the first autoresponder message should be a “thank you” page. Also give people a bit more information about the product or Internet marketing program, and an opportunity to buy or join by including your affiliate link. This is very easy to do and you should always be list building, any way you can.
List Building | Make Money With Affiliate Products And Your List
November 21, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Once you have a list building, there’s no question that you can make a lot of money selling other people’s products. And there are a couple of good places where you can find the products to fit the niche where you’ve built your list. These services are great for sellers because the hard work of managing affiliates and creating a sales system are removed and handled by the online vending system, and they’re great for affiliates for the same reasons.
But it’s important to stick to affiliate products that fit your list. You never want to try to sell a quilting list something about Internet Marketing because they won’t have any idea what you want them to buy. It’s like trying to mix oil and water; it just won’t work, and if you do it, all you’re going to get are unsubscribes. Some services are better than others for what your particular list might want, so you may have to join more than one site to find the products you need to promote.
The sites have names you’ve probably heard before, like ClickBank, PayDotCom, and Commission Junction, but there are others out there. ClickBank has a wide variety of products that you might use and if you’re into quilting, for instance, there’s a crafts section with tons of interesting products. You don’t necessarily just have to sell only quilting products. You might sell crocheting items, scrapbooking, knitting, etc. because crafters often do multiple things, and this works the same with most other niches.
PayDotCom.com is good for an Internet Marketing list, as most of the affililate opportunities at PayDotCom are about Internet Marketing, though the site is growing daily.
Commission Junction deals more with big businesses and have clients like eBay, Crucial and Pfaltzgraf. You can sign up to become an affiliate for one of those. Just remember that it’s easy for people to walk into some of those places, so being an affiliate for somebody like Best Buy would be difficult. Yet, I can see a specific product working out. Like, say you have a list built around gaming. If you have a link from Best Buy to the new PS3 and send a great email to your list, you could do well. How well you do with any product depends on how well you target that product to your particular list.
If you still can’t find anything to sell, you can go to Google and type “affiliate program,” the little plus sign, and the topic of your list. A lot of sites will have a link at the bottom asking you to join their affiliate program.
The next thing you should do is choose four products that you can promote. Be as creative as you can. When you join those sites for free and choose to promote those products, you’ll be given a unique link. That link is your affiliate link that will track the people who buy, and show that they came from you.
When you get your affiliate link, oftentimes it will be very long. After you get your affiliate links for your four products, go to the TinyURL site. One at a time, you will pop that long affiliate link into the spot in TinyURL. It will pop out a very small link for you. You can use that link in the emails you are going to be sending out to your list.
Use a system of mailing to your list and following up, and you’re bound to make money. We’ll be adding more articles about making money with your list in the future, so keep watching!
Turn Your Affiliate Product Sales on With This Three-pronged Opt-in List Strategy!
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Internet marketing startups often turn to affiliate programmes for products to add to their sales listings because there is such a wide range of easily downloadable products offering generous commissions. However, they are often dismayed to find that it is surprisingly difficult to make any sales on the affiliate products they have placed on their websites.
While some people with high ranking websites will certainly be making sales directly off their pages, that is not really the best way to go about selling affiliate products or programmes, especially if the links are not supported by useful, relevant, well written and original product information.
The main aim of the front page should be to get visitors to sign up to your newsletter via your opt-in form. You will now be able to FOLLOW UP on those visitors who filled in your opt-in form, and remember, it is in the follow-up that most sales are closed.
If you have been struggling to master the net and make a profit on your online business, here is a three-pronged marketing strategy to help increase your sales.
First Prong: Know Your Product
Choose a product that matches your niche, offers a good commission and is also well written and presented. Yes, that means you will have to BUY it yourself!
Get to know the product well enough so that you will be able to write a review that is comprehensive, honest and authentic.
Second Prong: Write A Product Review In Three Parts
This is important. Don’t just write a single review, post it and forget it. Write your review in THREE parts and send each part as a separate message to your list over the course of 6-9 days.
The aim of the headline of the first message is to create maximum curiosity to encourage a high opening rate. The main copy should create rapport with the customer, induce a sense of familiarity, emphasize the BIG BENEFIT and neutralize scepticism.
Of course, your link through to the product site should be included, but since most of the sales come in the FOLLOW UP you will need to prepare your second and third reviews, each in a different style.
The second message should be in the form of questions and answers about the product, further neutralizing lingering scepticism and encouraging purchase via the link you supply in the body of the letter.
The third message should make use of bullet points to emphasize the benefits to the reader of purchasing and again provide a link for immediately doing so.
Third Prong: Whack Your List With A Too-Good-To-Turn-Down Offer
As well as the MAJOR BENEFIT of the product itself, make your readers a BIG OFFER and add a TIME LIMIT to give it an edge of urgency…
Here’s what you do. In each of your letters you emphasize how good the product is and how much you want your readers to benefit from it. So much so that you are going to make them a generous offer.
Offer them either a rebate on the retail price. Make it between 75%-100% of your commission. For example, if the product costs $50 and you earn a 50% commission, or $25 per purchase, offer to give them a rebate of between $15 and $25!
What? Am I crazy?
Well, maybe. Note that I did not advise that you offer a discount, (which you would probably have to process through Paypal). I said “offer them a rebate.”
…What’s the difference?
Well, a discount is given up front. A rebate is awarded post purchase.
What you do is provide your purchasers with a link to a rebate form that they print out and post to you with their name, address and the product they purchased and the purchasing code. Explain to your customers that it takes X number of days to process payments. Ask them to send the form to you X number of days after they purchased the product to claim their rebate. You undertake to send them their rebate as soon as you receive your commission cheque.
Simple!
Several things accrue from this.
Firstly, it is unlikely that every customer will follow up on the rebate, so you won’t lose all your profit, even if you offered to rebate 100% of your commission.
Secondly, you have converted a number of people on your list into customers. If someone found your products satisfactory and the sales experience to be smooth, safe and secure, they will be more inclined to purchase from you again. You can now sell to them again and again.
Thirdly, when you send them their cheque, you can include some direct mail materials. Of course they will open the letter from you since they know there is a cheque inside, and so they will be much more likely and well disposed to read your printed sales material.
So make them a nice follow-up offer and you stand to recoup your profit all over again!!

Building a blog ping list
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Ping lists for blogs.If you have a personal or business blog, it is necessary to ping after you post a new article. Pinging a blog will contact Yahoo and other search bots that a new article has been added to your site. When they are notified, the ping service providers will send a spider to read your new post within seconds depending on their traffic load.Blog ping definition.By definition, a blog ping is a notification to a search provider that a blog has been updated. A ping is basically an XML message that contains the url address of the blog. Most blog news sites have separate internet addresses for accepting pings, so testing your ping list is very important.The Good Versus The Bad.The Good News: Pinging a blog is often good, because the more you ping, the more exposure you’ll get to your blog post. As a result, many of the ping service providers will remember your URLs listed on their service and republished them.The Cons: The more you ping your website, your server will become slower. If your blog ping list is more than fifty providers, your server load can get really high. Another downside is that most of the providers ping the same search bots. This can be bad for your site because you can potentially ping Google too many times and it looks like your a spammer. So a good blog ping list is important to your site.Wordpress Blog PingingAs a default, the WordPress engine pings one service automatically called Ping-o-matic. Ping-o-matic is not a good provider by itself because it is simply outdated. This is because it does not ping all of the newer services you need to syndicate your blog and get it spidered right. Wordpress also pings every time you update your site, revise a post, which isn’t good because you could potentially look like a spammer and get blacklisted.How To Build A Good Ping List.Here are a few things you need to take note during the building of your ping list. Keep in mind that a ping list doesn’t last an eternity, so you should check and update your list as often as possible.Note 1: Find a base ping list. I found a great recommended providers list located at this site. Ping List For BlogsStep 2: Find new ping providers.You should add to your base list by doing some research based on your market niche, language, and country online. You can also email other established sites within your market and ask them for advice. If you search the right places you should be able to find more information on available ping service providers to add to the base list.Step 3: You should remove any non-working services from your list.This step is very important. You should begin by checking each provider by visiting their site. Pay attention to the service and area they provide to. If you have found that the website is no longer in service then simply remove it from your list.It is recommended that you pay attention to your service list and regularly and check the providers websites to make sure they’re working. Proper maintenance of your provider list will keep your content spidered and increase your blog’s visibility in the search engines.

SEO Tricks: What it Takes to be on the Top 10 List
November 13, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Search engine optimization, or seo, can greatly improve your website’s search engine ranking, and if used properly, can put your website within the top 10 list of search engines.
seo can be used by different owners of online businesses, or any online user for that matter, in improving the exposure of their websites or Web pages online by increasing the traffic generated by their sites. However, due to the fact that search engines are continually changing how they rank websites, it is very difficult, especially for beginners of search engine optimization, to be able to fully maximize the use of seo, which is why they need to take a few factors into consideration in order to succeed at seo, and ultimately be included within the top 10 list in search engine results.
seo Tricks
One of the tricks in seo that can help put your website within the top 10 list in search engine results is by employing the use of rhymes on your Web copy when you are attempting to advertise it in order to make it more attractive to the different online users who may stumble upon or find your website. Using a lyrical rhythm can actually help make your website easier to remember, giving you a much better chance at getting your web copy inputted in search engines when they do searches. You can do this by simply making your domain name and your web copy rhyme, although actually doing it can be quite difficult, especially if you want to use a limited number of words that will emotionally connect to your potential customers.
Another good persuasive copywriting trick that you can do to help improve your search engine results is by phrasing your sentences in the form of questions. Keep in mind that majority of the online users who uses search engines more often than not use questions when they are searching for something in the net, which is why putting a lot of questions in your copy can help improve your seo result.
Although this aspect of seo is not a trick, still, online users and online business owners can still use this to help place them within the top 10 list in search engine results. Content is the number one thing that different online users are searching for in the internet, which is why being able to come up with fresh and useful information can help improve your search engine results, even if you do not spend a lot of time on special effects on your website. It is important that you are able to supply them the information that they need in a fast and reliable time.
Having an understandable website is also key in order to succeed in seo, helping you get within the top 10 list. Creating an understandable website means that you tag and categorize your website using appropriate keywords that will help link it to other relevant websites and Web pages with the similar keywords and descriptions. It is important that you can back link to similar, relevant websites in order for you to optimize your website’s content. Make sure that you tag your website appropriately, in order for online users to find it easier in the Web. SEO Company

How to Build your High Quality List at the Lowest Cost Per Click Using Google Adwords
One important part of your Internet marketing strategy may involve building a list of prospects using a pay-per-click Google AdWords campaign. The advantage of using Google AdWords is that it can produce a high quality list because it’s highly targeted and relevant. This is because it is based on the keywords that you have chosen, the advert you’ve constructed, and the ‘squeeze’ page you’ve designed.
So what are the steps to building a list using Google AdWords?
Step 1 – Conduct Keyword Research and Design Your Google Account Structure.
This stage is of major importance to your success because it helps to keep things targeted from the beginning.
Draw a circle on a piece of paper with branches coming out containing what you believe to be the most relevant main key phrases.
Use the Google Keyword Selector Tool to select a number of relevant and popular key phrases, and search for synonyms and related terms.
Use other keyword selection sites e.g. nichebot.com, wordtracker.com, and keyworddiscovery.com.
Use the Google Traffic Estimator.
Set up an ad group for each of these main key phrases and use all the variations of it your have found within each group – single, plural, hyphenated versions etc.
N.B. With Yahoo marketing, one phrase covers the single and plural variations but this is NOT the case with Google.
Step 2 – Create Your Adverts
There are only 95 characters for a Google AdWords advert, 25 for the title and 35 each for the two description lines underneath.
DO NOT USE THE CHARACTERS TO SELL. The goal is ONLY to get people to click on your advert.
In each ad, put the key phrase in the ad title so it’s in bold as research shows that click through rates are higher if the key phrase is in the advert title.
Design a kind of template advert.
Produce 3 different adverts for each variation (using the template advert), changing the order and arrangement of key phrases within it.
Track the effectiveness of each to see which one works best – TEST, MEASURE AND COMPARE.
Step 3 – Create The ‘Squeeze’ Pages
The squeeze page is the page that people are directed to when they click on your Google AdWords Advertisement. This page should be built using the same key phrases for building blocks as the Google AdWords advert that is pointing to it. Each variation within each ad group should go to a squeeze page that has been changed accordingly with regards to the key phrases – maximum relevance and targeting should be what you are looking for.
Keep the squeeze page simple and make sure that every element in the page has a reason for being there i.e. it’s helping to convert.
Prepare some kind of value-adding download or service that is FREE.
Give the page a large, attention-grabbing headline and include the word FREE.
Google could penalise you for saying something is free when it’s not, so make sure it is.
Use a sub-headline with the word FREE in it to encourage people to read further.
Add a ‘call to action’ line below this e.g. Receive your FREE gifts now by entering your name and e-mail address below.
Google may regard a simple ‘sales letter’ style page to be a scam, so include navigational links on the page e.g. links to a page which opens in a separate window, showing pictures of and giving some information about the free gifts they will receive if the follow the call to action.
Links help your ‘quality score’ with Google (which lowers your cost per click), and they have been shown to increase the chances of conversion.
Include an opt-in box (small form) asking for a name and e-mail address.
Include a ‘call to action button’ e.g. Receive my FREE gifts now.
Research has shown that the conversion rate is increased if the text on the button states exactly the action you want users to take (and the benefit of doing so) rather than just saying ‘submit’.
Add a link to a detailed privacy policy page that opens in a separate window.
Include another couple of lines below this designed to increase curiosity e.g. stating possible benefits of following the calls to action.
End with a sense of urgency i.e. make the offer time sensitive to encourage immediate conversion.
Use professional looking graphics and consider using a columnar layout because this is what Google is used to i.e. try not to make it look too much like a sales letter page.
Change and test different aspects of the page to keep increasing the page’s conversion rate.
N.B. The best possible squeeze page would be exactly customised to your key phrases, which should ensure relevancy and a better chance of conversion.
So, a high quality list can be built, and return on investment can be maximised by building Google AdWords campaigns form the keywords up. make sure relevance and targeting is high, and Google optimisation rules are adhered to in your compelling squeeze page so that the quality score will be high, and so the cost per click will be kept as low as possible.
