How To Earn Your First 10K in Internet Marketing in Half The Time

Most people are not aware that internet marketing is in fact a number game. I have been tracking and testing all my internet business strategies since the beginning of my business. What I found out was that my list is converting at an average rate of 2 to 3% for those low ticket products. What it means is I get 2 to 3 sales for every 100 person I promote my product to. Then I went on to track the sales conversion rate for my high ticket products and to my amazement, the conversion rate is the same as the low ticket products. I knew that I have found a golden nugget in my business.

So how you can earn your first 10K in Internet Marketing in half the time lies in the below two secrets

1) Selling High Ticket Products: If you do your math, you can calculate that I make 2 x $67 = $134 for every 100 people I promote the product to. If I do it with a high ticket product of $497, I will make 2 x $497 = $994 for every 100 people I promote the product to. Selling a high ticket product earns me about 7 times more than a low ticket product, therefore I always set up one to two good quality high ticket products for my subscribers so that I can make 10K in the shorter time.

2) Selling Residual Income Products: I strongly believe that all internet marketers must have at least one product that gives them residual income month after month from the subscription promoted by them. It is very important that you only promote products that are of good quality and not just giving you high commission. This is because you can only earn and accumulate your residual income if the person you promote the product to continue to subscribe to the service or membership. Therefore the quality of the product must be good.

In a nutshell, making 10K from internet business is not as tough as what you think. All you need is to do it with a proper strategy and I can assure you that you can do it at half the time.

Now put this into practice and you can see similar results.

Remember this: The key factor to being successful in your internet marketing business lies in your ability to generate traffic to your site. Once you manage to master the skill to traffic generation, you will be able to achieve success in any niche you enter.

The Most Common Affiliate Marketing Mistakes And How To Avoid Them

Even though you have the best intentions when joining an affiliate program, you may make a few mistakes along the way. The best way to minimize these mistakes is to realize what they are and how to conquer them now so that they do not haunt you later.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they first start out in this business is taking on too many affiliate programs at once. While you should research a few products and companies to see where the next opportunity to make money will come from, you should stick to promoting one affiliate at a time. Not only will this reduce the amount of time you will put into marketing, you will find that you will be able to spend this time finding markets that will be more profitable.

By promoting one product or company at a time, you will also become more familiar and comfortable with the products. This will earn you more money because you will know exactly who to market them to. Since you will want to design a web site, write some quality content and articles, and promote the web site using blogs and other forums, it is in your best interest to choose one affiliate program when starting out. Once you have become comfortable and the program is earning money, then you can begin to look for a new venture.

Another big mistake that people who are new to affiliate programs make is choosing products or companies that are considered 'trendy'. While making a quick buck seems like the way to go, don't you want to earn more money over a longer period of time? You will spend the same amount of time promoting a trendy product as you would a more established one, so you should opt to find products that you can sell over a longer period of time. This will earn you more money.

The last big mistake that people make is not researching the product or company well enough to be able to sell it easily to the right markets. You should conduct enough research in order to find markets that will earn you the most profits. Find out the following when researching products or companies:

- Target audience
- Largest customer base
- Products offered
- Sales and specials offered
- Where other affiliates have been successful
- New products offered
- How long the company has been in business
- Company's internet presence
- How the company advertises itself

This information will make your job a lot easier. By knowing who the target audience is will help you choose which areas on the internet to advertise in the most. If you have done your research, the payoff could be very big. Understanding which direction the company is headed will also give you a better idea of where to market them.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online. Now that you are aware of some of the mistakes that others have made, you will be able to avoid them and become very successful

Dominating the Search Engines with Social Media Networks

With the advent of Stompernet’s SMARTS program, Howie Schwartz’s Conversation Domination and Jack Humphrey’s Authority Black Book, leveraging the power of Web 2.0 / Social Media has "officially" gone mainstream.

As you know, I’ve used Web 2.0 for quite some time and a while back I created a "flow chart" to explain how I actually use Web 2.0 (in the ‘one’ forum I participate in on a regular basis). So I thought I’d share it with you as well.

Hopefully, you’re already familiar with Social Media sites on some level… from free Blogging platforms such as Blogger.com and Wordpress.com (which started this "revolution"); to Social Networking Sites like MySpace and FaceBook; to Content Sharing Sites, like EzineArticles, Squidoo and HubPages, and Social Bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us, Reddit, Digg, Propeller, Stumbleupon etc. (some would argue that Digg, Propeller, Stumbleupon and similar sites are Social Voting sites).

So, what’s the big deal about social media?

I personally think that the main benefit to these properties is that they contribute to "organic" traffic that is not dependent on Search Engine Results. In addition, you also get to take advantage of the sites’ authority, which means more search engine traffic and more backlinks to your site (depending on whether they use "dofollow" or not). In other words, there are two parts to the Social Media equation: Social Media Traffic Generation and Social Media Linking.

So, you might be wondering, what’s the advantage of using sites like Blogger, Hubpages, Squidoo and Wordpress.com?

All of these are considered authority sites and can rank very well in the search engines provided you build them "properly" and more importantly add some new content to them on a "regular" basis.

In terms of Blogger, they have a lot of pull with Google Blog Search as well as organic search engines and if you create the "right" type of content, you can rank on the first page of Google almost immediately (depending on competition of course). It is also very user friendly in terms of setup, ad integration (particularly Adsense), and is quite easy to "tweak". The downside of building blogs with Blogger is that Blogger controls your site… and they are often very "delete" happy (I’ve had a couple of dozen blogs deleted by them…).

As for Wordpress.com… they are similar to Blogger in that you host your blog with them (except they don’t in my experience have the habit of deleting blogs like Blogger). Their interface is easy to use and ranks well in the search engines. The upside of Wordpress is that they have an active user community that likes to read other people’s blogs… and you can get quite a bit of free traffic just from using "tags" in your posts. However, they are not very user friendly with Ad integration and if you’re not careful, you could be in breach of their TOS.

Which one do I start with, and is one better than another?

Squidoo and Hubpages can both drive quite a bit of traffic and they both use "do follow" in their links, which means you can leverage these sites to drive traffic to your "money site(s)" much in the same way you would use EzineArticles (or other article directories). The pages you build on these properties are also better suited for a more narrow niche (or product), rather than broad niches.

Blogger and Wordpress.com are "traditional" blogs and is a great resource for posting either snippets of articles from your money sites, or independent articles with anchor text links embedded in the article pointing to a particular page on your money site.

I generally use all of these properties to support my main money site, whether it’s an opt-in page, sales page, content site…

There are obviously no "rules" as to how you use leverage Web 2.0. I personally use them to build a "mini net" of properties to "dominate" a niche term… and funnel traffic and link power to my money sites. So, you could potentially set up something like this:

Web20FlowChart1[1].jpg

NOTE: This is just an illustration of how you can setup one type of a mini net and the sites listed are just some of the sites I may use.

As you can see, the chart flows from the "less" important web 2.0 properties down to Blogger / Wordpress.

The most important thing to know is that you should not get stuck in a pattern. In other words, you can for instance switch the positions of Blogger / Wordpress with Squidoo / Hubpages or other "authority sites" and gain similar (or better results).

Let’s talk about some of the biggest mistakes people make when creating these networks:

  1. Try to focus on too many keyword phrases at once
  2. Give up after creating one blog /lens / hub for one topic
  3. Not bookmarking ALL content (be sure to use different bookmarking sites for different sites)
  4. Trying to use just ONE account for bookmarking / blog creation (I would personally recommend that you open multiple accounts, ten or preferably more, with each service to avoid footprints and patterns).
  5. Using reciprocal links between different properties

One of the biggest "secrets" to success with this tactics, is to actually create multiple pages spread across you network for just ONE long-tail keyword phrase. In other words, the whole network above should be for ONE phrase. Then you rinse and repeat for the next keyword phrase.

Also, learn to use and publish your RSS feeds. This will save you A LOT of time when updating your web 2.0 properties.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on the topic…

Top 23 “Do Follow” Social Bookmarking Sites

Many people misunderstand the purpose of social bookmarking (from a niche marketing perspective) and think you get A TON of traffic by bookmarking all their pages…

In my opinion it’s a myth.

However, it does serve a very important purpose. Getting backlinks to your sites. Unfortunately Google does not count all backlinks because of the "no follow" rule. So, if you want your link to "count" (in Google) you want to spend your time setting up bookmarks with the sites that actually give you some "link love".

So, here’s a list of the Top 23 "Do Follow" Social Bookmarking Sites (by PageRank) that I came across that you can use for Social Linking purposes:

1. Furl - PR7
2. Backflip - PR6
3. Bibsonomy - PR6
4. LinkaGoGo - PR6
5. Mister-Wong - PR6
6. Raw Sugar - PR6
7. Spurl - PR6
8. Buddy Marks - PR5
9. Jumptags - PR5
10. MyJeeves / Ask - PR5
11. MyLinkVault - PR5
12. Xilnus - PR5
13. A1 Webmarks - PR4
14. Bookmark Tracker - PR4
15. Connectedy - PR4
16. Diigo - PR4
17. OYAX - PR4
18. MyVmarks - PR4
19. TeDigo - PR4
20. ez4u - PR3
21. MyPIP - PR3
22. SyncOne - PR3
23. Yattle - PR2

May be that can help you go to get high PR for blog and website.
