Why I Love Affiliate Marketing - Part 2

NOTE: The following is a guest post from one of my favorite

internet marketing mentors.

By Jimmy D. Brown of "Affiliate Payraise"

Pop quiz time. What does "HTML" stand for? Don't know

that one? How about this - what does "FTP" stand for? OK,

one more chance. Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate

marketing...

** You don't need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building

a website!

* What in the world is HTML? Or FTP?

* How much does the software cost? And hosting?

* How do I upload files?

* Why isn't it formatted correctly?

* Why don't my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult

(even using templates) to get an attractive website in place.

And hiring a professional to do it fo ryou is out of the

budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don't need to build a

website. You simply send visitors to someone else's

professionally designed site through your affiliate link.

SIDEBAR: Just in case you're interested, HTML stands

for "hypertext markup language" and is the coding

used to build webpages. FTP stands for "file transfer

protocol" and is the process used for moving files

from your computer to a website, or vice versa.

Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take

advantage of the time and money invested by someone else

to develop the site. Think about it: when you promote an

affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU. You are the

one who is advertising the link, recommending the product,

sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.

The professional site of someone else really represents

you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked

through your link.

You get the benefits without the bother.

That's why I love affiliate marketing.

You don't need to build a website.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing - Part 1

NOTE: The following is a guest post from one of my favorite
internet marketing mentors.

By Jimmy D. Brown of "Affiliate Payraise"

Do you find yourself "starting" to create your own product
to sell online, but never "finishing" it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is --

** You don't need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to
be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don't have any good ideas!
* I'm not a writer!
* There's too much competition!
* I don't know how to set everything up!
* I can't figure out where to start!
* It's too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give
when it comes to not creating their own products to sell.
I'm sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come
up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don't need your own products.
You simply promote someone else's already proven successful
offer for a commission.

And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have
lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out...

** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **

As good as you may be, you don't know everything! Why try
to create a product on every topic imaginable in your
market when you can earn just as much money by simply
promoting someone else's really good offer as one of your
profit streams?

That's why I love affiliate marketing.

You don't need to create your own products.

Lost Files, Found Public Domain Assets

Occasionally there are those good deals that you just have to pounce on. This is definitely one of them!

For years rich businessmen have been keeping the public domain a secret and making a profit off of it. Until last year anyways, when Russell Brunson made three of these coveted files available to his Lost Files members each month. The good news for us internet marketers is that he's made lifetime resell rights to the whole set of 36 files from the past year available for less than the price of two.

The Lost Files is one of the most viable places to get content that will increase profits made off a website because there are no royalties to be paid, no searching through mounds of old books to find one that's still relevant today, and no spending hours writing content on your own. In addition to putting good content on a silver platter, ready to be copied and pasted, the Lost Files Year 1 cd also includes everything needed to start using each one including:

- A professionally written sales letter- Full set of eye-catching graphics- Attorney's Certificate proving that the work is in the public domain- Training videos to make sure that you have the knowledge you need to make money from the Lost Files Here are some ideas of ways you can make a profit on the internet with the Lost Files. Content taken from the public domain can be used for:

- Ebooks- Content for Ezines- Keyword Articles- Offered as a Sign-On Bonus - And more... just be Creative!

Russell has made sure that the same exclusiveness that rich business owners used to profit on is maintained for his customers. You won't have to worry about the market flooding with content because only a carefully specified number will be sold. This also means that they'll go fast, so to benefit from the hard work of others, you really will need to POUNCE on this offer.

Review of Yahoo! Store Profits by Karol Gadja

Hello. I love this product. I was going to write a review
for it but then I saw this one and I knew I couldn't say
it any better so I am offering Karol's review. Enjoy.

I've been wanting to open up a Yahoo! Store for the longest
time. Since about the Fall of 2004. When I stumbled upon
the Web site for Yahoo! Store Profits I immediately thought
"I need this book!"

Why haven't I opened up a Yahoo! Store in the past?

Three reasons:
1) I didn't have a product I wanted to sell.
2) It just seemed like a daunting task. Getting a merchant
account, storing inventory, etc.
3) I thought it would cost too much.

I've always known the benefit of putting up an e-commerce
store on Yahoo!...their ENORMOUS amounts of traffic!

But this just wasn't enough.

I thought it was going to cost me a good $1000 just to start
my store with a very small inventory of items. This was
$1000 I didn't want to part with.

But I was dead wrong. Yahoo! Store Profits proved to me
that anybody can open a Yahoo! Store with less than $200 and
a willingness to commit some time.

With many things, I think time is the biggest investment
you'll ever make.

If you've ever wanted to open your own online store, then
Yahoo! Store Profits will literally take you by the hand.
Step by simple step. Everything is covered from picking
products to picking a name to designing your store to
marketing, and everything in between.

Did you know that you don't even have to carry an inventory
for your store? You can use what's called a drop shipper
and never even have to look at the items you're selling.

At over 300 pages, this eBook is no small undertaking. It
took me a few hours to read, but I am so excited about
opening my first Yahoo! Store that I almost want to do it
today.


This eBook isn't written by just anybody, it's written by
couple named Andy Jenkins and Audrey Kerwood who have a very
profitable Yahoo! Store. They're estimating they will make
over $1,147,000 in 2004. If that's not a good living, then
please please tell me what is.

Every step involved in opening your Yahoo! Store is complete
with pictures and descriptions. If you can read and follow
simple steps then there is no reason you can't open your
store in just a few weeks.

I apologize if this review sounds preachy, or full of it,
but I'm just really excited. This eBook should be called
the Yahoo! Store Bible. I cannot think of even one question
I had that didn't go unanswered. You'll see for yourself
that this eBook wasn't put together in just a few hours
using a bunch of rehashed information.

Every example is laid out based on what Andy and Audrey have
done with their own profitable Yahoo! Store.

I really don't know what else to say except that if you're
interested in starting your own e-commerce store this eBook
will be an invaluable resource.

strategies outlined in
Mike
Filsaime's Butterfly
Marketing Manuscript to the his launch.



Here is what Michael Cheney had to say about what
he learned in the Manuscript:

"Mike - first off I just want to say thank you so much! The techniques I learned from Butterfly Marketing played a BIG part in helping me make $63,249 in sales in 24 hours!! As I write this I'm still finding it hard to believe. It seems a lifetime ago that the BFM package landed on my doorstep and I started poring over it with my smile getting larger and wider with each new insight as I realized that as long as I APPLIED what I was learning the principles were going to make something BIG happen! Little did I know just HOW BIG it would be when I launched AdSense Videos... AdSense Videos - 33 Hours After Launch.. The site went live. My life changed forever - seriously the results have been incredible Mike - we've grossed over $200,000 in 7 days!! The site got an Alexa ranking on Launch Day of 351! AdSense Videos was ranked Number 1 on the ClickBank Marketplace in the Marketing category just 4 days after the Launch! I've also been getting, on average, one new subscriber every minute of every hour for the past SIX AND A HALF DAYS!!! So - What did I learn from you Mike and from Butterfly Marketing? Where to start! I think one of the biggest things was the step-by-step approach. Everything I created for Affiliates, Joint Venture partners and for people going through the videos themselves has been step-by-step. I made everything as easy as I could and 'muppet-proof' as I like to call it! I also realized that it's paying attention to the smaller details BEFORE launch that really pay dividends AFTER the Launch. And BOY am I seeing that! You gave some absolute gems of advice in Butterfly Marketing which have, without a shadow of a doubt, contributed in a big way to the overall success of AdSense Videos. Thanks again! Michael Cheney"

12 Steps to Creating a Business Online

- by Jim Edwards

(c) Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved
http://www.thenetreporter.com
=====================================

"E-commerce"

A word pervading our society, making headlines around the
world, and causing the stock market to rise and fall with
startling ease.

It seems every business news story centers on some
technology company’s "DOT-com" or "DOT-bomb"!

With all the positive and negative hoopla, business owners
of any size company can throw up their hands and feel the
"E" world has left them behind.

Every business owner, salesperson, or professional asked one
of two questions in the past year, either "Am I using e-
commerce correctly?" or "How do I effectively get involved
in e-commerce?"

You can buy hundreds of books and pay thousands in
consulting fees to analyze and debate the answer to the
first question.

To answer to the second question just follow these 12 steps.

Step 1 - Buy a domain name (your own DOT-com). Go to
www.NetworkSolutions.com and research names. Can a customer
easily spell and remember it?

Step 2 - Write down your online goals and prepare a time and
money budget.

How soon do you want your e-commerce site up and running?

How much will you spend?

How many hours will you devote to the site and when?

Step 3 - Surf the web to find other sites you like and
dislike. Learn from others’ successes and mistakes by taking
the best of what their sites offer and adapting it for your
own use.

Step 4 - Design your site on paper. Define elements, look,
feel, colors etc.

Step 5 - Hire a professional to set up the graphics and
navigation, but with the intention of you or your staff
maintaining the site’s day to day operations, communication
and updates.

Step 6 - Invest in a digital camera and web publishing
software such as Microsoft Front Page or Adobe Acrobat to
keep up with the site’s maintenance.

Step 7 - Maintain, change, and update your site at least
once a month. (The one exception to this rule are those one-
page, sales letter websites. Once you have one of those that
performs well and makes sales, don't change it!!)

Step 8 - Promote your site at every opportunity. Tell people
about it. Put your web address on your business cards and in
all your ads. Some companies even advertise their web
address when they put you on hold on the telephone.

Step 9 - Give people a self-serving reason to visit your
site. Coupon savings, discounts, special incentives, free
information, and free newsletters represent excellent
enticements for attracting visitors to your site.

Step 10 - Concentrate on obtaining an email address from
every customer and potential customer.

Obtain permission to send periodic, value-added malings to
your database.

Use a list server to organize and maintain your mailing
list.

Step 11 - Always look for and use the simplest solution or
option.

Whether adding a shopping cart, database or other option to
your e-commerce operation, seek out and use the simplest
answer for your needs.

Step 12 - Become educated and stay current in the world of
e-commerce.

Learn the marketing and sales techniques of the online
world.

Getting Started: Creating a Business Plan

Getting Started: Creating a Business Plan
By Darwin N Dennis

You're excited. You have a great idea for a profitable
online business. Maybe it is an original idea that has
not been marketed online before. Maybe you have come
up with a new spin on the ordinary. Whatever it is
that has influenced you to start your online business,
be sure that you have a plan before you begin. This is
not the time to “pick it up as you go”. These are some
basic things that should be included in your business
plan.

The business summary should give a brief description
of the entire business and is an integral part of the
overall business plan. After you have completed the
business summary you should begin to list the
objectives or the goals that you want to accomplish
through the business. Next and perhaps most
importantly, you should develop your marketing plan.
The marketing plan will address all the specifics of
the business. When developing the marketing strategy
you should consider the following:

The target market. The target market is the customers
that you expect to see visiting your site. For example
will your product be more appealing to college
students or those who are in retirement?

Consider the competition for your product when
determining the marketing strategy. Choose a product
that will be seen as unique and useful. Visit sites
that are offering the same or similar products. Find
out the cost, and how they are marketing their
product. Finds out the pros and cons of their business
and try to improve your product based on their flaws.

Research the various methods for advertising online.
You should become educated about search engines and
how they work since each one is different. Also be
sure that you know how to submit your site to search
engines. You should be prepared to spend a small
amount of money on advertising, but the profits that
you will gain from the advertisements will prove to be
money well spent.

Think about pricing. Again, look at the competition
and see what similar products are selling for. Pricing
can play a big role in the success of your product
since selling a product well below the average price
may lead customer to think that there is a problem
with the product or that it is not of the best
quality. However, pricing items too high could also
deter customers.

Determine the shipping method. Be sure that you know
how products will be shipped so that you can have
shipping details clearly posted on your site. If you
are shipping things of great value, you should
consider providing shipping insurance. Also think
about shipping outside the country that you live in.

Think about the different methods of payment that you
will accept. If your business does not accept credit
cards, you should be ready to give up half if not more
of your sales. If you decide to accept credit cards
will you use a merchant account or will you use a
third party credit card processing center? Both will
help you get started and the third party processing
center will handle all of the business so you don’’t
have to. You should decide which you will use and also
if you will accept checks or money orders. It is
essential to have a secure server when taking credit
cards.

These few things will help your online business to
become a great success and also provide you with peace
of mind knowing that you have thoroughly thought about
and planned for the opening of your online business.
