The Real First Step In Affiliate Marketing

Contrary to popular belief, affiliate marketing success does not start with the application of a particular strategy.

No.

Affiliate marketing success starts with the right attitude.

A nice analogy would be a boxer who is scheduled for a prize fight. He can learn all the tricks of the trade with his trainer. He can train for hours upon hours on end to build his stamina and endurance. He can eat the right diet to build his power.

But if he does not possess the right mentality – the mentality to WIN – then his chances of victory will be slim.

His confidence inside the squared circle will be shattered. His punches may connect, but his self-doubt will lessen their impact. His moves will be tentative. And when push comes to shove, he won’t have enough to muster his second wind.

The boxer will lose the fight… because he never believed he could win.

The same goes for an affiliate marketer.

If an affiliate does not possess the right mentality, he will never achieve success in this field.

And what is this mentality?

I call it the mindset to succeed. It’s quite simple really.

Ever wanted something so bad that you spent many countless nights thinking about it? You may have even told yourself the line, “someday, it will be mine.”

After a few weeks, months, or even years… do you remember how that particular thing you’ve always wanted came into your possession? It was a dream come true. You willed it to happen. This is the power of positive thinking.

And this is what I want you to realize…

It all begins by wanting it!

You have to WANT to become successful. You must desire it so badly and will it to happen. Consciously and subconsciously, you will be able to take every step necessary to make your dream come true. This is positive thinking at work.

Of course, it’s not enough to merely want something to happen, you have to do things to make it happen. I’m telling you right now, this is the easy part. Once you have the will to win, everything else will follow suit. The spirit is already there. You are already willing to try everything that is needed to succeed.

All you need is knowledge on the best tactics to implement. And this is what this eBook is all about.

Business Card - Here To Stay

Business Card - Here To Stay

For as long as I have been alive (all of 27 years) business cards have been a very popular way to solidify a contact. Printing of the cards has gotten to be more quality for less money and so everyone and their brother has a business card. When I was real young it was a phone number and maybe a fax number if the office was real up and coming on the technology scene. Now technology has taken over business to the point that it is a valid question whether or not there will be business cards in the future.

Are they really necessary? Well at one time yes it was a great idea and people actually held on to a business card and used them as a contact card that they would pop in their rolodex. Now no one has a rolodex and it would take just as long to look someone up in the online yellow pages than it would to flip to the right rolodex file to look up a name and a number. So basically I think that they are out as we know them.

That is not to say that they are out for good. No technology has a way of finding a way to stick around. Now we are seeing business cards in the form of mini cd-roms that not only have the name and address but also a personal introduction to the person and work of the giver as well as a overview of the company for which the donor works. This can be as simple as a pdf file or as complicated as an animated tour with interactive features.

We are also seeing things like an electronic business card that can be sent to one another with wireless connections between portable digital devices. This is becoming the thing to do and the business card can automatically update a contacts list in that person’s default email software.

So the little paper business card that used to be all the rage is phasing out but the concept is not dead. Rather it is taking on a life of its own with technology and ingenuity being its vitality. Who knows maybe in the not too distant future we will have holographic business cards that can be sent from the chips in our wrist that also contain all the other information that we used in our daily life including our shopping lists and bank account information.

About the Author:Julee Mitchelsin has a lot of fun dreaming of where technology will take us in the not too distant future. If you are interested in the future of the business card go to www.finebusinesscard.info.

Marketing your Business

2006-05-10T23:04:00.000-07:00

Recently was asked about Free Marketing - so . . .

Free marketing - well first is your business online or offline.

Offline Business Free Marketing Ideas
- Go online - go to google - type in 'free website' and find a free one and then make a website (most have some kind of website builder - if they don't go to google - type in 'free web design software')
- once you have a website - see below to 'Online Marketing Ideas'
- word of mouth - tell your family, business colleagues, spouses buddies, friends, enemies, people on the street, you name it.
- cold calling - door to door or over the phone - both are free
- Press Release
- write articles and submit to magazines and newspapers
- Networking - trade shows, biz luncheons (you may have to pay for lunch - but you have to eat), seminars, etc

Low Cost Marketing Ideas for offline business
- Business Cards - Attractive - but make sure they have a compelling message - not just boring old Biz - name - address - they have to stand out and tell your customers what you do and why to buy from you.
- Flyers/postcards
- community newsletters
- classified ads
- Join Chamber
- Join other networking or community groups
- create an event
- sponsor an event

Online Business Free Marketing Ideas
- all the offline ideas can also work for online business
- SEO Optimize
- exchange links
- articles
- forums
- FFA sites
- Free classifieds
- Press Release (some may cost)
- list on affiliate sites like clickbank and Commission Junction
- start your own affiliate program

Low Cost Online Business Marketing Ideas
- Get a real website (not a free site)
- PPC (be careful - this can be low cost, but can also be very high cost)
- buy traffic
- buy links
- Press Release
- hire someone to write articles
- write e-book
- create low cost/freebie product to bring customers in
- contest

Definitely not an exhaustive list, there are always new ways to market your business. Some are better than others (I am not recommending any of the above ways, each has its place for the right business and person).

What ever you do - just do it!!

Targeted Traffic To Your New Website Doesn’t Have ToBe A Mystery

2006-04-26T06:35:00.000-07:00

Here is an article from John Stafford the talks about Internet Marketing and ways to drive targeted traffic to your site - enjoy. . . . Delilah

If you've been trying to get targeted traffic to your website but you've been hitting a brick wall, don't worry It's not your fault and you're not alone.

I'm about to teach you some of the quickest and easiest ways I know to get a ton of targeted traffic to your site for the lowest cost possible.

Traffic Tactic 1: Posting To Forums

Posting to forums related to your sites theme will get you a good amount of traffic fast, just remember to set up your signature file.

Don't slack off when creating your sig, mayou usee you use good ad copy to increase the amount of people who click through to your site.

It's easy to get an extra 50-100 visits to ydaily ife daily if you take the time to do this tactic right. To learn more about posting to forums, here's another article I wrote with some more details:

http://www.thegurusedge.com/forumarticle.html

Traffic Tactic 2: Create an Ezine Article on your sites theme

It’s easy to get targeted traffic by writing an article for use on other peoples websites or ezines. You might have heard of this one before but here is the secret many marketing experts don't want to tell you:

They don't distribute their articles themselves.

They use submission service like Submit Your Article:

http://www.submityourarticle.com

It might cost a little bit but you get access to their huge network of publishers and websites and more importantly it frees up your time to do other forms of promotion.

If you're short on cash and want to start out free, submit your new article here for a quick burst of traffic:

http://www.ezinearticles.com

Traffic Tactic 3: Use the Pay Per Click Search Engines

You can get an obscene amount of targeted traffic very cheaply with the right PPC and it's not as hard as you've heard.

I recommend anyone that's new start out with Yahoo Search Marketing:

http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

It's really inexpensive to set up an account and get traffic going to your site within a few days time.

Here's one thing to remember when starting out:

Make sure you contact them and have them set your account to prepay only, it's not set that way by default and if you don't do this step they'll bill you again and again.

Internet Advertising Methods

2006-04-15T08:39:00.000-07:00

People opt for internet advertising methods because practically half of the world's population knows HTML. If you have your own business, you have to decide on what internet advertising method works for you. Ask yourself what are you going to avail of: the expensive internet advertising methods or the cheap ones? Others will pipe in "expensive!" immediately, but they don't know cheap internet advertising method attracts great benefits as well.
Here's the lowdown and a comparative look on the cheap and expensive internet advertising methods:
The Expensive:
1. Pop-ups. Not only is this expensive, but also outright annoying that visitors close pop-up windows without even bothering to know what they're all about. This is an internet advertising method that you can do without.
Fly ads are derivatives of pop-ups which are also equally irking to the visitors.
2. 1. Pop-ups. Not only is this expensive, but also outright annoying that visitors close pop-up windows without even bothering to know what they're all about. This is an internet advertising method that you can do without.
Fly ads are derivatives of pop-ups which are also equally irking to the visitors.
2. Pod casts.
Broadcast is to TV as pod cast is to internet. It's one sophisticated internet advertising method that can somehow hamper your budget. But if you're thinking results, pod casting is worth the money.
3. Paying the search engines.
How does this one work? When someone types in a keyword related to your site, your URL is automatically included in the first page of the top results. Fixed payment for the search engine allows just that. Expensive, yes, but if we're talking about Google and Yahoo search engines here, then don't give it a second thought.
This is associated with another internet advertising method: the pay-per-click system.
The Cheap:
1. Blogging.
Go along the bandwagon and blog about your website. This is an internet advertising method that is popular as of the moment, so you never have to worry that this will never spur outcome. All you have to do is sign up for a blogging account, post and voila! You don't even need to pay!
2. Submit to not-so-big search engines.
This is cheap and dependable. If you submit your site to smaller search engines, you have bigger chances to get bigger results. Remember that the search engine giants can dwarf and overlook your site easily, so this internet advertising method might just be the right one for you.
3. Text links.
This is not just cheap...this is virtually free! Let someone text link your site and return the favor.
Cheap versus expensive, that's always the question that hounds on whenever we're trying to get something. In the field of internet advertising, just be wise enough to figure out what will suit your needs. Go for what you want as long as there are visible results.
