3 Surefire Ways To Max. Your Commissions in 24 Hrs

First, I would liek that you take a quick look at my latest Hubpage - it's my "best" Wealthy Affiliate Review IMO - hubpages.com/hub/Wealthy-Affiliate-Review

I'm working hard to get that on Google's first page, let's see if I can make it till Christmas.

Then to todays article:

3 Surefire Ways To Max. Your Commissions in 24 Hrs

OK, let's assume that you are already into affiliate marketing, and that you managed to make a few hundred bucks a month.

What would be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that?

Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.

1. Know the best program and products to promote.

Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.

There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones.

There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.

Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.

In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.

2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks.

It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale.

This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you.

Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.

But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.

Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.

This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.

3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants.

If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.

If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.

Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.

Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.

To your success

Secret How To Make Money Online Fast

Are you one of those who wish to know how to make money online fast, I bet you are.

You try and try but never get to make any profit. I say profit as you eventually could sell something, but you spend more for advertising in AdWords to get traffic to your offer then you made commissions from those sales, what ultimately ended up in a loss.

But Affiliate Marketing is not difficult, absolutely not. First I have to tell you that what I write here is not a "quick buck solution" where you go out and buy some ebook and push a button. This my friend is nonsense and doesn't exist. But I guess you know this already. If not thank me for telling you this here, it will save you a lot of money.

Be very open minded and answer to yourself this question: if you would have a system which make you money by a push of a button, would you sell it for $39 or $49 , or even for $1999 dollars. I don't think so and so do you.

After we got back to reality, let's talk about what you should do how to make money. You will get the best plan from me on how to make money online fast.

A other thing I have to tell you is that this is not a Free gimmick. You need to have at least some resources to implement this, or it's not possible to copy my idea.

With resources I mean three things. A host, a own domain and a auto-responder service.

The host can be signed up on a monthly base if you are on a shoestring, because you need only very low disc-space and bandwidth with this.
I am personally a happy Hostmonster client and can recommend it, chose a host here over my site www.bonus-webhosting.com, where you get from me a 25% discount at several top hosts. The domain should be a .com domain, what cost you about $10 if you buy it separately, valid for a year. You can get a domain at your host or at a domain broker like GoDaddy. With my yearly hosting plan the main domain was already included, so no extra costs here.

A normal host has as well a website builder with which you can build a simple page very fast. Otherwise you can use front-page which is at your PC by default or you go to www.nvu.com which is a free builder. This step you must manage, there is no way around this or you go and buy a package of some simple squeeze pages.

Then you need a auto-responder service. This is a e-mail service which let you market to people over e-mail marketing, all on autopilot. Let me repeat this as it is important, you have two things to remember, - you need a subscriber list, - and a e-mail sequence on auto-responder which will go to this this list on autopilot.

To know more about what is a auto-responder list, visit my page at www.how2resolve.com/autoresponderlists.htm where you get all information and can see the best service I recommend, which happens to be AWeber Autoresponder service. Sign up to a auto-responder service and get familiar how to set it up. In Aweber you have great tutorials and it is easy to get all done, and to create a web form (the sign up box) which you simply copy and paste to your website.
If You want to know AWeber directly, visit them here over this link

AWEBER Autoresponder Service

But first, before you buy any of those things, let's make some research about what you should sell.

Do you know any hot topic ? No ? Then see this: gasoline prices, making money, credit repair, relationship problems and so on. I think you got it and can think about some other topics which represent a huge problem to group of people. Perfect is if you have a lot of experience in one field to communicate to them like a pro.

Rule is. The bigger the problem and the group, the better for you to make sales. And don't worry about competition, with this system you don't need to worry about this as your target is email marketing, and not to get organic traffic and sales over a website.

So now you have a group, or niche, let's say "gasoline prices". People are nut's about the current gas prices and would like to get solutions about how to lower their spending. So why you don't offer them some solutions ?

You could offer anything related to this topic, from guides how to organize car sharing, to special tires which increase mileage, to fuel improvement products etc., there are as well websites which offer a free quote for a new, more economic car. And you can make commissions for all, for sales, foe leads, for sign ups etc. Do you see the power in this ?

But to market all this you need to set up the system I talked above. You need a "squeeze page" where you catch your visitors attention and make him sign up to your auto-responder list. Perhaps you already can offer some, but it's not very likely, so don't put the product at the top in this case. Don't try to be the salesman on that page, where the perfect approach would be to offer to those guys a free book, free tips or any other incentive for when they sign in and leave the e-mail.

This here is not absolutely necessary, but it's good if you have a "thank you" page where those subscribers land immediately after they gave you your e-mail. There you will thank them (what a surprise), explain what they have to do now to receive the gift (they have to verify the mail from AWeber first) and now, there you can offer a special one time offer (OTO) of anything you think would be great to market. Remember, always related to the topic of the page and the crowd you got.

Those pages have to be very simple, don't make it complicated. You have to be highly relevant and work with benefits and solutions. I recommend you go and see the websites you find when you research for the term you might want to use. Let's say you use the term "save fuel", check out what websites appear for that. Copy and paste their domain name, then you go in the Google Keyword tool, here https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal.

Click on website content and paste the url/domain into the box, then hit run - you will get some good ideas about keywords and as well how much each keyword is searched. If you are not happy with this, get a keyword from the results which fit well, and repeat the process, now using the keyword option n the tool.

Let's imagine you decided to go for the keyword "save fuel", what is by the way a great name for your domain, which could be savefuelnow.com (this is just an example) what very good as your domain name match the keyword.

Now you have the market, the keyword, the host and the domain name set. We still miss the pages and the auto-responder.

About the pages you have to make it really easy. Don't go for any fancy design. A squeeze page with a white background is perfect. It's only a small page with a catchy headline, a sub-headline why he benefit when reading the page, or watch a video, sign up to your list and ultimately the opt in form.

You have to mention the benefits he has if he give you his e-mail, and what gift he will get. And very important is a call to action, something like "Get It Now" or something. You need to focus to get subscribers here, nothing else.

In our example all this has to be related to the "save fuel" niche. This is very important. You can market them later on other stuff related to the car segment, but at this point there have to be only "save fuel" information's. You have to be as relevant as possible.

Now the last, and simplest task. Find a product, or products. There are hundreds of products out there which you can offer to those people. Go sing up to Clickbank and get a free affiliate account, there are ebooks to promote, do a search in Google for fuel optimizer+affiliate and you get a result, or you sign up to neverblueads and get some lead programs who pay you for a simple submission (insurance or car loans), etc.Most marketers make the mistake that they start with the product first, and then do all the research job from above. This is wrong. Get first all above and then search for the products.

If you did all well, you now go to Google AdWords and open a account. First get somewhere a $50 credit coupon (google for it) and sign up then for your account. You need to pay $10 more to activate the account. Now you set up a advertising campaign and go for those "save fuel" keywords. Add other stuff like -how to, -best way to, -tips for and so on. you need to build only a few ad groups with 5 to 10 keywords, and 2 ads in each group. After you expand and tweak. You need traffic who is interested in saving fuel, so the offer in the page you have must be a solution to this problem. And the only thing they have to do to get this help from you is leaving their e-mail address. It's that easy.

You have to monitor this campaign closely, go and see every hour or so what's going on with your impressions and clicks. Do you have impressions, get clicks ? And set a daily limit of $20 at the begin for that you have money for two days.

After you got traffic and subscribers the fun really starts. Now you can communicate with them for free. But please don't spam them with a lot of advertising e-mails. Give them the information you promised and which has a real value, and then you add at the bottom a offer which help them even more to resolve their problem. And like I told before, after you have worn out the initial topic you can market other stuff, related to your niche.

People which subscribed to know "how to save gas" as well need other stuff related to cars. So offer them things where to save money like - cheaper car insurance, car loans, car parts and so on. They are subscribers which signed up to get something for free, so you can mail them each 2 days. A normal list with clients should be mailed only about once a week.

It's a fact that a visitor need about 6 contacts before he makes a purchase. So if you go for a high traffic topic like this one you get a lot of searchers who are looking for information, not buyers in first place. That's the reason why you should offer in your squeeze page information, and no products as they wouldn't buy anyhow.

Over your e-mail campaign you need to turn them into buyers. With your e-mails they get free information about What they should do, and a offer from a product which shows them How to do it.

You will make sales, I guarantee. Perhaps not with the second mail, but till the 6th a good portion of your subscribers bought something.

That's it. Your money maker is done and it took you only about a week to build it if you already have some IM experience. If you are a total newbie it will take a little bit longer as you have to start all from ground zero. But I'm sure that in 3 to 4 weeks you can set all this up. This is no rocket science folks, you can do this as well. Just think like your clients, put yourself in their position and try to answer the questions they have.

This is only one way how to make money online fast. It's a easy one, fast build and very lucrative.

E-mail marketing is by far the best form to increase sales and get back your investment in traffic. Traffic will cost you some because you need it fast, and to get high quality traffic fast the only way is to pay for it over AdWords or over Yahoo! Search Marketing.

“How To Find A NICHE” A Nightmare For A Few IM's.

From my experiance there are only 2 ways you should approach IM.

A = Or you find first a good selling product and then hungry crowd for it, or
B = you find a hungry crowd, find out what they need and then get a product(s) which resolves their problem.

Option A has some benefits and can be a faster way, but it's more difficult as there is more competition you have to outbid, and if you are not yet able to build great Websites, write killer sales copy etc, then this one will be though. Let's go with the second option.

Don't try to re-invent the weehl in Internet Marketing. You are a Internet Marketer and have to make money online, that's your ultimate goal and all other options then those two are a waste of time.

Contrary to a normal business where people with totaly different needs and whishes are passing in front of a store, the Internet is segmented in millions of groups of consumers, so called NICHES. So a niche can be described as a group of people with the same interests, and a HUNGRY CROWD is nothing else then a niche where you will find buyers who have the SAME PROBLEM.

VERY IMPORTANT for you to know is, that those groups are already there, they already exist, and they already communicate over the Internet.

So your task is FINDING a hungry crowd (or niche), understanding what they need and want, finding the product(s) which help them resolving a problem and ultimately, you have to build a vehicle (Website) to put your offer in front of those buyers.

Obviously it is a benefit if you find a niche and products in a segment you are familiar with. Some hobby of you, or your Job or general work experiance are a great resource. But if this is not the case don't worry, you can "steal" information from your competition, or buy information.


Let's take as example that you are a music freak, you could find a niche in several segments like
how to play a musical instrument , music download sites, single track download sites, CD / DVD sales, CD burning software, iPod software, instruments (guitars, drums, piano), portable music devices, car stereo electronics, vintage music collector items etc..


Then a other secret that principally Newbies are not aware off. No Internet Marketer has only one Website and only one campaign to promote his Affiliate products. You HAVE to offer the same products over different Websites to the same crowd, but promote them each time from a different angle. This we call GOING DEEP into a niche.
It's much better to ge deep then broad, meaning that it is better to have 20 different Websites in the same niche, then 20 Websites in 20 different niches.

Now, how to find a niche ? Each SEARCH TERM which is used in Google&Co. to find something is in theory a niche.

Of course there has to be a limit to this as some people do search only for fun (surfing), some or teens without a credit card (but they can be interesting as they have a Mom and a Dad who have a CC) or people who have a problem, but just look for information, and not yet for a solution.

Again a example :
“Pain” would be a very broad niche, 268.000.000 Results
“Back Pain” already narrows the niche 12.800.000 Results
“spinal column back pain” = may be a great niche, only 421 competing Websites as Result

So we go to the Google Keyword tool here, by the way a great Free Keyword tool if you know a little how to use it and check the keyword search volume.

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

The result for our Keyword show us that there are very few searches, perhaps good enough for Article Marketing to drive some traffic to our Website, but not enought for a Website.

But look at the synonims, check always all results.

There I found “lower back pain treatment”, which has a average search volume and only 20’100 direct competing pages, meaning that there is a good portion of people searching for this Keyword, but that we don’t face that much competition.

And the Keyword contains the word “treatment”, what tells us that those people are looking for a solution for their back pain problem - definitely worth to build a site for.

Now you have your niche, and believe me, there are really a lot of people with back pain who are looking for help.

What Exactly is Internet Marketing ? Affiliate Marketing ?

Internet marketing is a variety of things to many different people as there are many ways you can “market” on the Internet.

In saying this, Internet marketing is very similar to other forms of offline marketing in that you have two different entities: A consumer and a product. Some Marketer told me once that we don't have to sell, we only have to market. Let the merchants sell, your task is to market the product and make a visitor wish to get to know the merchants offer.

In a nutshell, a Internet Marketer is a Match Maker and your job as an Internet
marketer is to align these two entities (consumer + product) in efforts to drive sales to either your website or an affiliate website. You do not need your own product to succeed as an Internet marketer as there are 10,000’s of companies that are literally begging for people like yourself to promote their products/services online in exchange for a commission. The reason why companies are so eager to have you promote their product is because they are much better off having 1000 affiliates spending their own time and advertising money then it would be to spend the company time and money on promotions in house. Not to mention that having 1000 affiliates promoting a product gives a company a LOT more reach to connect with potential customers.

There are different types of payment structures but typically companies will either give you a percentage of the sale (sometimes up to 90%) or a flat-fee kickback for any sale or lead that you generate (these range into the $100’s).

How Is All of This Tracked?

Companies have something called affiliate programs that they use to track your sales. When you sign-up to an affiliate program or a network like Clickbank or Commission Junction, you are given a unique sales link which you will then use to refer people to the company web page. This link will uniquely identify you as the affiliate who referred that visitor to their site. If the visitor ends up making a purchase, you will get a commission.

There are many Internet marketers that are earning $1000’s each and every day promoting other peoples products. This may seem crazy, but it is the truth! There are several members at Wealthy Affiliate who earn this much! You are not required to have any prerequisite knowledge to do this, and everything you are going to need to succeed as Affiliate Marketer is provided at Wealthy Affiliate.

There are many different avenues you can take as an Internet marketer, and there are many different techniques you can use to make money online. You need to know that you DON'T need to know everything in order to succeed. As you get started, you will be much better off focusing on one Internet marketing technique and becoming an expert in that area than to diversify as a generalist. Look at many different professions and you will see that the specialists always get paid more (a general practitioner does not get paid what a brain surgeon gets).

The Death Of A Affiliate Marketer

There are several things you have to manage when you decide to start your online activities.

Those are based on my experience, but as well very much discussed in Forums, like in ours at Wealthy Affiliate.

You have to avoid

- PROCRASTINATION
- SIDE TRACKING
- LOOSING FOCUS
- CATCHING SEVERAL RABBITS AT ONCE
- LOOSING TIME WITH UNNECCESSARY STUFF

To summarize, who don't take action will not make it. Who get sidetracked and waste a lot of time on unnecessary stuff will not make it. Who can't focus on one target and try to accomplish a other goal before he even finished the first one, will not make it.

Internet and Affiliate Marketing opens all the doors for anybody who wants to work online, without any need of a MBA or Doctors degree.

But it's your commitment which is the NR. 1 reason you will make it online, or not. The second are a summary about knowledge, tools and support.

I set up a Website right now telling some more details, which will be available at :
