Marketing Strategies to Make Money Online with Affiliate Programs!

The following strategies are the main money making strategies used by the Gurus. These strategies, implemented correctly will make you money with your affiliate programs.


The first strategy to make money online is building a list.  

This strategy is the most important step to continue to make money long term. If you do not already have some type of auto responder system you need to get one. Don’t be cheap here either because your entire business will hinge on this one piece of software. Read More

You can build your list many different ways. You can buy leads from reputable list building companies and get them into your auto responder. Most good list building companies will have an option to send an email to your autoresponder so you don’t have to manually input the lead’s information.

 Another effective way of building your list is from the traffic that visits your website. This step, which is probably the most effective,does require you to have a website in order to implement an opt-in list form. Of course if your Affiliate program does offer a list management service then you can send traffic to the affiliate URL, but I don’t recommend it as you will usually not be able to email the entire list with special offers.

To make the most of your opt-in form and get the most signups, you should place it in your sales page text. It should be strategically located in the sales text after you present a problem. The title of your auto responder email series should address the problem by offering a solution. In the example below we will assume that I am selling a hosting package and I want opt-in subscribers to my email course for back-end sales.

Example: You can use the pre-built websites or build your own. Many people think that building a website is hard, but I can show you how easy it really is. Take my 10 day email course “Build a Website with Ease”[signup form here].


The second strategy to make money online is driving traffic to your website.

When I say traffic, I don’t just mean any old traffic, I mean targeted traffic, people who are motivated and ready to buy can and will make you money. You can use programs and techniques such as Google Adwords, blogging, article writing and linking to drive targeted traffic to your website. Google Adwords is a resource offered by Google in which you can pay for your site to be show when certain keywords are queried in their search engine.

The secret to using Adwords is not to bid high on popular keywords. Instead,what you do is find similar keywords that still describe your website, but are used much less frequent. These keywords will cost much less to bid on and will allow you to spread your money out over many different keywords, getting the most bang for your buck.

Blogging is another great way to drive targeted traffic to your website. To get the most out of this technique the blog should be hosted on the same website as the sales page witch links to your affiliate program. Once its setup all you have to do is fill your blog with good quality content.

I recommend writing your own content which specifically relates to your affiliate program and or products. Once you have some content you will need to submit your RSS feed to the as many blog search engines as you can. This will put your blog out there for other webmasters to use as content feeds on their websites.

This win-win situation allows webmasters to have quality content on their website, which increases the value of that website while driving targeted traffic directly to you.

This is done by the URL link that you conveniently placed under your name after the blog was written. That means that your link is on a blog feed that is on thousands of websites. Not only do people click those links but Google sees these links pointing back to you and thinks that you’re popular and you are rewarded with a higher page rank.

Article writing is basically the same as blogging except the information in an article will need to have more useful content and be peppered with keywords that the webmasters are looking for. After completing your article you will submit (syndicate) it to content sites as opposed to blog search engines.

Content sites are places where webmasters go to find specific content to offer their readers. If you are a good writer you may at some point build up a name for yourself and finagle a deal with a webmaster to write exclusives for his site. His readers get great exclusive content and you get highly motivated targeted traffic.

Linking is perhaps the most widely used form of increasing traffic and page rank. However, if done incorrectly you could end up hurting your Google page rank and ultimately loosing potential buyers. You will need your own website for this technique as you will need a ‘links’ page to place your reciprocal links on.

Many people go and submit their URL links to link farms in an attempt to trick Google into giving them a better page rank. This does NOT work; in fact Google has been known to penalize websites for engaging in these activities.

The secret to linking is to find websites in your niche market which have a Google page rank of 4 or above and enticing the web master to list your link on their website. You may think that you would be helping your competition, well you would be. But your competition would be helping you as well. It’s better to send leaving traffic to a partner than just having them close their browser window, and remember that works both ways.    

The strategies listed in this article do work and they will increase you sales and residuals it done correctly. Reciprocal linking, Blogging and Article writing are great ways to bring massive amounts of high quality targeted traffic to your website. Those strategies combined with an effective sales page with an integrated opt-in email list can make your business soar to new heights. You can and will make money with this system, Guaranteed!

Information About Internet Marketing

So you have finally decided to climb onto the diving board of internet marketing but before you dive into the pool to wade alongside with millions of other companies who have decided to use this medium of advertisement, you still have some doubts. Having doubts is normal. No one can always be absolutely sure about something, and this is probably one of those times. Internet marketing doesn’t come by cheap. It can be very expensive however those expenses can be easily be nullified by the amount of traffic your internet marketing team will create for you.

Before we start, what exactly is internet marking. It’s basically what the name says; marking over the internet by a variety of methods that include search engine marketing, display advertising, e-mail marketing, affiliate marketing, interactive advertising, blog marketing, and viral marketing.

Why is internet marketing such a popular choice by so many businesses around the world? Well, probably the number one reason would have to be it’s a lot cheaper than the traditional media of television, radio and print. Though it may still be expensive compared to the other means, it costs a lot less.

Another reason of why it is so popular is because it is a lot more convenient for businesses to use because of the one-to-many approach. If using the traditional method of sales, a salesperson can only interact with one person at a time, or otherwise it would not only come off as rude to the consumers to handle multiple persons at once, but also very confusing and difficult for the salesperson as well. By using internet marketing you can easily accommodate many people at once by allowing them to browse through your website.

This method also allows for a business to target a consumer group by behavior rather than a demographic which means for a higher success rate of sales of a certain product. Not everyone who is between the ages of sixteen and twenty, female, attending school and is single will be interested in stuffed animals, but anyone who searches the internet to find such an item has a much higher probability to buy such an item. Also this method is also easily traced, measured and tested giving the business a much better idea of what the consumers want and to offer more items that are as or much more appealing to their consumer group.

Internet marketing is also a lot faster as it is to the traditional methods and which is why it is also paired with those methods. While a consumer is browsing through the internet everything is being updated in real-time for the business to understand more about their consumers and also is easily accessed by the consumer in the comfort and ease of their home making it incredibly popular.

But like the traditional methods of advertising, it has some of its own drawbacks, because internet marketing requires it consumers to be familiar with the newer technologies available it may be completely ignoring those who are computer illiterate. Also internet marketing doesn’t allow the consumer to use their senses of touch, feel, smell, and taste to be used when buying an item. However it is much a standard for those involved e-commerce to have a liberal return policy or have an in-store pick-up service. But with society becoming more and more technologically advanced, there is no reason why you shouldn’t use internet marketing to connect with customers.
