Introduction
Nearly everyone in internet
marketing is
talking about how great it is to
make money
with articles. And it’s true,
articles are an
awesome and easy way to make money
online.
And the best part is, there is
more than one
way to do it.
You can create articles that
generate free
traffic to your website and get
you sales for
what ever it is that you are
selling.
These same articles can send
traffic to
websites you are promoting as an
affiliate
and get you long term residual
income in the
form of affiliate commissions.
You can create websites full of
meaningful
content and run adsence ads on
your WebPages
to generate income by selling
targeted
advertising to people that are
looking for
targeted traffic.
You can even quickly create your
own e-books
and sell them on their own mini
sites, or
even sell resell rights to these
e-books.
The truth is, there are many ways
to make
money by way of writing articles
and this
books teaches you the most
profitable and
simple ways to do it. PLUS, how to
create
great articles that generate
traffic as
quickly and effortlessly as
possible!
So let’s get started:
Turning Easy To Write Articles
Into Long Term Income!
The funny thing is, I use to think
I had to
write mammoth 400 page e-books and
provide
every bit of information on a
topic to make
any money at all, but what I found
is, I make
more money by keeping everything
short and to
the point.
People want to learn something and
they want
to learn it quickly. So here are
the methods
below that I'm going to show you
how to
profit from articles.

Articles So Quickly And
Easily You Could Churn Out 50 To
100 In A
Day

Adsense

Affiliate Programs Instantly

Money
· How To Write

· Other Ways
To Profit From Articles
Let’s get started...
The Fastest And Easiest Way To
Write Great Articles
What most people don't realize is
that the
work is already done for them,
they don't
need to come up with unique
content from the
top of their heads, they just need
to look
for what is already out there and
improve on
it.
Every possible topic has been
covered and
covered well by someone, but most
of the time
these people don't even want to
profit from
their work, they do it for the fun
of it,
which is great for you.
While you can't steal these
people's hard
work, (we wouldn’t want to anyway,
we want to
profit from our work) you can use
their ideas
and learn from their content to
write your
own. Anyone can become an expert
enough in a
subject to write a 750 word
article on it in
minutes if you have the write
content in
front of you.
I'm skipping ahead of myself here,
but I'm
going to tell you where to find
this content
now, then tell you how to come up
with
article ideas afterwards.
When I come up with an article
idea I go
directly to the source of the
Internet's
content. Online bulletin boards,
FAQ pages
and Article directories!
Every time I need to learn about
something to
write about it or just for the
heck of it, I
go to these places......
Everything I could ever want to know
about
nearly every subject known to man
I can find
for free there, if you're willing
to dig for
it.
All I then do is dissect all the
information
out of the articles, re write them
into my
words and add a snazzy article
title.
So say you wanted to write an
article or
articles on fly fishing to promote
a fly
fishing e-book thru clickbank.com,
here's
what I would do.
I would go to Groups.google.com
and type in
fly fishing and see what questions
people
were asking.
I would also go
fly fishing and
written and how
so you can tell
to
Goarticles.com and type in
see
what articles are already
many
people have viewed them
which
article topics are the
most popular.
Then when I wanted to start
writing my
article I'd go to FAQ.org and look
there for
fly fishing Frequently Asked Questions and
rewrite that content in my own
words for my
own articles.
****DISCLAIMER*****
I don't mean steal other peoples
content when
I say rewrite. I mean use the
FAQ's are a
place to research a topic and then
use that
research as a bases for your
articles.
Your articles don't have to be
masterpieces
that are 5000 words in length, in
fact it
will help your sales if you keep
them short
500 to 750 words and you give your
readers
information they can instantly use
and
implement.
The most important part to your
article is
your article title, it will make
or break
your article.
When people read articles they
want
information that they can use
straight away.
Say for you instance you're
writing about how
to get your baby to sleep better
at night,
then you'd want a title something
like this.
"6 Easy Steps For A Better
Nights Sleep For
You And Your Baby That You Can
Implement
Tonight!"
Ok, that's not perfect but you get
the idea.
I've found if you're targeting the
Internet
Marketing niche you'll find your
articles
will get a better response and you
will make
more sales if you give people a plan they can
use to make money straight away
from your
article.
For instance, let's say your
promoting the
"Google Cash" e-book
that shows people how to
make money with Google Adwords,
you could
write articles on the
following....
· How you made
money following the formula
in the ebook.
· Give them a
well thought out business
plan they can steal and use as
their own.
Or even....
Tell them how you failed using the
Google
Cash method but another method
worked for
you.
People love a story, success story
or even a
failure.
How to edit your article so it
looks like
you're a professional writer.
The number 1 reason why most
articles don't
get published (behind not
following posting
guidelines, which I talk about
next chapter)
is the article is full of spelling
errors.
Just because I said you don't have
to worry
so much about correct grammar in
your
article, it doesn't mean you can
slack off
and not proof read and spell check
your work.
Even if you don't have a spell checker
program on your computer, there
are plenty of
free web based ones.
http://www.spellcheck.net/
http://www.jspell.com/jspell.html
If you are having trouble with one
or two
words, why not try http://www.dictionary.com
You will also want to make sure
your article
flows properly and makes perfect
sense. I
know sometimes I write one word
but mean
another. Like put instead of but,
etc....
You might want to print it out and
read it
aloud a few times, or even get a
few other
people to do the same.
This is also a good time to see if
you've
covered everything you've wanted
to cover and
your not leaving anything out the
reader
might need to know. There is
nothing worse
then an article that either
doesn't make
sense, or leaves so much
information out due
to the fear of giving too much
away, that
it's practically blank and full of
fluff no
one is interested in.
How To Make over $1,000 With
One Article In Under 24 hours
This is a very quick step, but it
will show
you exactly how I earned over two
thousand
dollars in the first few weeks I
started
promoting affiliate programs.
I started off promoting three
affiliate
programs, I then wrote 3 articles
based
around all those affiliate
programs and I put
links to them in my article. Mind
you I did
not have a web site or anything
sophisticated
like that :) I submitted articles
to hundreds
of ezine publishers which I found
at
TopEzineAds.com and
DirectoryofEzines.com and
sent them out in one day.
These articles produced over $1200
in sales
in three weeks. In my article
by-line I also
placed my autoresponder link so
they could
sign up for my free course. With
these names,
which were just over 700, I gave
them the
chance to buy another product from
me that I
happened to buy the resell rights
to. I
earned another $1100 from these
people as
well in that initial 3 or 4 week
period. So
that's just a bit over $2300 in
sales in 4
weeks work.
I was also getting checks every
month for
doing nothing as other people
began promoting
my articles with out me asking
them. I also
ended up getting my name blasted all over the
search engine's as people who
published my
articles put them on their web
sites.
I also signed up quite a lot of
people under
me, who are now selling these
products and
I'm still earning commission from
their hard
work. I love 2-tier affiliate
programs, they
bring you in just a little bit
extra every
month for nothing with no
permanent web site.
That's it. It cost me nothing to set up and
the advertising was free, so it
was all PURE
PROFIT. I do the same thing now
every month
without fail. While what I made in
that month
is small compared to other
affiliates, it
goes to show you how putting a
little hard
work in your first month online
can bring you
amazing profits.
The longer you keep promoting your
affiliate
programs and trying new methods,
you will
constantly see increases every
month in your
commissions.
Writing Articles To Make Money
With Adsence
Adsense is all the rage now, and
there are so
many different ways to make money
from
Adsense, but here is a method
you've probably
not tried and most people probably
won't as
it does take effort and time.
Most people seem to want to keep
switching
from automatic software generators
to bombs
to portal sites to directory
listing sites,
which is fine, but I have and
always will
stick to creating unique content
that's
informative and of high quality.
My method is not the only way to
make money
with Adsense, but I feel this is
the best
method for long term success,
simply because
it's been working well for me in
different
ways since I began Internet
marketing a while
ago.
This is a business idea that I'm
doing right
now and I believe it will make me
a fortune
in the long run.
What I've been doing is creating a
site
similar to Ehow.com It's a free
site that
shows people how to do a lot of
different
things. The best way to explain
the site is
just for you to go have a quick
look now.
They have thousands and thousands
of pages of
content on all sorts of subjects and the way
they get traffic to their site is
through the
search engines, which is all well
and good if
you want to wait awhile, but this
guide is
all about making money quickly.
Every page on their site has an
adsense box
on it and that's how they make
their money.
They also have a Alexa traffic
ranking of
around 2000 which is great.
Trying to write that much content
before
making any money would be
difficult, you'd
lose interest quickly and trying
to write
that much content or even buy that
much
content in one hit would be
lunacy.
I've always preferred to make
money
constantly even if the project is
only half
done or in progress. I find it
gives me
incentive to keep going.
So this is what I'm doing, and no
I'm not
going to show you my site because
I don't
want everyone copying it.
I registered a catchy domain name,
something
like fiveminuteguides.com or
learnitnow.com
and I started writing little 500
to 750 word
action plans on all sorts of
topics and one
happens to be on a favorite
subject of mine,
fly fishing.
So my fly fishing page looks
something like
fishing.html and it's a small 750 check list
on all things to do with fly fishing with 2
Adsense boxes, one in the middle
and one of
the right hand side.
When it comes to Adsense, you have
to think
like your website visitor. What is
it they
are looking to buy? There is no
use putting
something on my website about how
to make
money with your fly fishing
passion because
the advertisers with Adsense are
selling fly
fishing equipment not how to make
money with
fly fishing.
You need to make your content fit
into the
Adsense ad's and I think that's
where a lot
of people go wrong with Adsense.
Back to the business plan:
Ok, so you've got your site up,
you have a
page up on a certain topic that
had a fairly
high search rate and Adsense
payout rate, now
what? How do you make money with
this page.
Write articles! For every one fly
fishing
type checklist write 10 to 20
articles on all
sorts of subjects to do with your
topic. I
wrote close to 40 for mine and I
haven’t
become rich from it but if I can
put up 500
similar checklists in the next
year I will be
earning a very nice income.
But how do you get people from
reading your
article to going to your website?
Well, not only would you mention
your site
within your article, (slip it in humbly) you
also have your article byline you
can use for
that purpose.
For example
"For a complete checklist for
your first fly
fishing trip visit blah.com"
or
"For a complete step by step
checklist for
catching large Trout visit
blah.com"
So not only will you make money
instantly
from your website, you will also
build tons
of quality content over time and
you will
have hundreds maybe even thousands
of
articles all over the Internet
working for
you around the clock and your site
will do a
heck of a lot better in the search
engines
due to all the incoming links!
This is a very rough outline, but
you smart
people out there will be able to
run with it
and add new ideas I haven’t even thought
of.
This is one of those money
machines that will
make you money on demand pretty
much for the
life of the Internet.
Using Articles To Profit From
Affiliate Programs
Fast Intro:
This is a quick guide on how you
can earn a
full time income with affiliate
programs
without even a web site. This is
so simple,
it's stupid, yet so many
affiliates keep
failing.
The biggest reason why I failed
when I first
started online was because I
complicated
things. I tried to create huge web
sites
filled with content, and it just
didn't work
because I lost my motivation.
With this guide, all you have to
do is create
a free autoresponder series, then
advertise
it directly with ezines and other
simple
methods that I will show you.
Select 3 Affiliate Programs
To make this work and not be a one
hit
wonder, you will need to select
THREE
affiliate programs to join. The
criteria to
select this programs is a little
different
then going out and selecting the
affiliate
program with the biggest
commission, even
though this does play a role.
Of course, all the affiliate
programs you
promote will have to be on the one subject.
For instance, say your first
affiliate
program is an ebook on Mini Sites,
then your
second affiliate program you sell
could be a
members only site based on Mini
Sites and
your third affiliate program could
be a
service where someone creates a
network of
Mini Sites for your customers.
I will talk more about this later,
and how
the pricing is crucial.
The first affiliate program you
promote will
want to be one which pays a larger
then
normal commission on the first
sale. Do not
accept anything less then 40%
commission for
your first affiliate program. The
reason for
this is because we want to make a
profit on
the first affiliate program and by
selling
any product that does not make you
at least
$20 per sale you will not profit
straight
away. The main aim of this is to
really build
up your Opt-in Mailing list.
If you break even, don't be
discouraged.
Breaking even is an amazing
result, and if
you have built your list up, then
you will be
profiting for years to come.
So for your first affiliate
program, choose a
product that sells for around $40
to $50 and
where you still get at least 40%
of the total
profits.
Your second affiliate program you
join will
be in the category of what we call
"Residual
Income".
This is an affiliate program that
pays you
every month someone stays signed
up for their
product or service. For example,
if you were
to promote a web hosting company,
and they
charged $25 a month, you would get
around $10
a month for as long as that person
stays
signed up for web hosting. Terry
Dean
believes this is the closest way
to earning a
secure pay check every month.
These are great programs to
promote because
all they require is a little hard
work up
front and you're set for months,
even years.
That's why I recommend promoting
this type of
program once you have a large list
of names
to email to.
Of course you will still be
promoting your
free course to other people, but
this is a
way to make back end sales from
your current
list. Don't think if you've
advertised to
these people once, that's all they
are good
for. I will talk more about this
later in the
book
You can find a large list of
Residual Income
affiliate programs at
LifeTimeCommissions.com
Which is run by Allan Gardyne (You
will hear
a lot about that name in this
book)
Now your third affiliate program
will also be
a program that you will promote to
your
current subscriber list. This
program should
pay you a large lump sum of money. This type
of program will have a lower
conversion rate,
but you should be making $80 to
$150
commission per sale.

directory of
affiliate programs, visit
AssociatePrograms.com
Create A Free Report Series
I'm going to keep this step very
simple and
to the point, but remember, this
step is
vital to your affiliate success. I
will go as
far as saying that if you create a
responsive
Opt-In list, 75% of your work is
done for you
already. That goes for anything
you're doing
online.
This free report will be promoting
the first
affiliate program you chose from
step 1. It
should be priced around $40 or $50
and pay
you around $20 to $25 per sale.
Creating your free report is easy.
Either
find 5 articles on your subject
that you're
allowed to use, or create 5
articles
yourself. They don't have to be
long, only
around 500 words. Then send them
out to your
prospects over 5 days using your
autoresponder. Make sure these
reports are
full of useful information, not
just blatant
advertising. You do however get a
chance to
advertise to them directly later.
How I create autoresponder series
is by
writing 5 to 10 articles on the
topic the
affiliate program I'm promoting is on. For
instance, if I were writing a
report on
search engine ranking, I would
create the
following articles.
1. The Tools Of The Search Engine
Specialist
2. Meta Data, Yes Or No?
3. How Mini Sites Can Generate
Thousands In
Extra Visitors
4. Getting Listed In Yahoo! The
Easy Way
5. Creating Keywords Relevant To
Your Site
6. Search Engine Ranking On A
Budget
7. The Biggest Search Engine Myths
And so on..
Everyone can write, I don't care
what you
say. Keeping it simple is the best
way to go.
Don't get daunted by the task
ahead of you
otherwise you will delay doing
anything at
all.
Another tip I have for writing
articles is to
jot down points, and use those
points to
build your article. For instance,
when
writing "How Mini Sites
Can Generate
Thousands In Extra Visitors", I would jot
down points like this.
*
*
*
*
*
*
Choosing
A Domain Name
Finding
Cheap Web Hosting
Using
Keywords Throughout The Web Site
Submitting
To Search Engines
Tracking
Hits
Doing
This All Over Again
I would then write 100 to 200
words per point
and voila!, there's your first article/report
for you to use.
Now when sending out your free
report with
your autoresponder, it should be
set up
something like this.
When the person signs up, they get
part 1,
then for the next 4 days they get
parts 2, 3,
4 and 5. In these messages, you
will get a
chance to advertise to them in the
first and
last sections of your message.
Here's an
example of an autoresponder
message you can
send out

Part 1, Becoming A Super Affiliate
On A
Budget With Mini Affiliate Sites
---------------------------------------------
--------------------
Earning a good income from
Affiliate Programs
is not as hard as everyone make's
it out to
be.
The figure's are that 95% of all
affiliates
never earn enough to warrant a
check. And of
those 5% only 1 to 2% earn enough
to live off
their commissions.
That's not good news for the
"average" Joe
Affiliate is it.
But I'm telling you now, it does
not have to
be that hard. All you need is a
simple
formula that work's over and over
again. It
really is that simple.
The hard part is doing it all on a
very tight
budget, which I will show you how
right now.
(I recommend grabbing a pen and
paper and
writting down any good points)
******* Unsuccessful Affiliate
Strategies
*******
Here are a few thing's that kill
any chance
Affiliate's have of earning any
decent
commissions.
1. They Simply Do Nothing To
Promote The
Affiliate Program
This is the most common mistake I
see
happening. People simply sign up
for the
Affiliate Program and they either
think the
money is magically going to roll
in, or they
simply didn't take the
responsibility of
being an Affiliate as seriously as
they
should have. Because most Affiliate
Programs
are free to join, people don't
really take it
as seriously as say someone who
pay's $1000
for resell rights to a certain
product. You
need to treat your Affiliate
Network like a
serious business or you will never
earn
serious profits.
That's why I only let people who
buy my
course join my Affiliate Program.
This I
think makes it fair for the people
who are
willing to spend some money on
their
business.
No matter how hard you try, you
will have to
open your wallet sooner or later.
2. They Get Incorrect Information
From So
Called Experts Or Read Outdated
Material.
Two big myths, free classified ad
style
advertising works and placing paid
advertisingfor their program will
reap huge
profits. All incorrect. Let me
explain
FFA posts and free classified ad's
use to
work. You could once rely on these
to bring
in a fair bit of money. Now days
though, I
feel the work you have to put into
them is
too much trouble for the results
you get. You
would be lucky to even a response
from this
sort of advertising. That also
goes for
putting Affiliate banner links up
and
expecting that too work.
The biggest secret for all
Affiliates is to
create a 1 page site that's
focused on one
product and theme.
1 product + 1 Web Site = Big
Profits. If you
don't remember anything else in
this course,
remember that.
---------------------------------------------
--------------------
The 5 Step's To Becoming A Super
Affiliate On
A Budget
---------------------------------------------
--------------------
******* Step 1 *******
1. Create A 1 Page Free Report Web
Site With
A Simple Subscribe Form
Before we get into creating your
Mini
Affiliate Site we need to select
an Affiliate
Program to promote. If you already
have one
you want to promote, move on, if
not read on
:)
When selecting your first
Affiliate Program
for your Mini Affiliate Site, I
suggest you
go for a product with a rather
large price
tag, so you can make profit's from
day one.
Of course the big money come's
from you
backend, which we will talk about
later.
I alway's suggest you promote a
product you
have used and trust before
anything else.
Don't just promote an Affiliate
Program
because of the commissions, as
that's a sure
fire way to fail.
If you're looking for a directory
of
Affiliate Programs to join
instantly, I
suggest you look at Allan
Gardyne's
AssociatePrograms.com.
Setting up a web site now has
never been
easier. A few year's ago, domain names sold
for $35 for 1 year, and webhosting
was about
the same for 1 month. Now it's so
very
inexpensive.
You can purchase domains names for
$13.50 at
000domains.com and even cheaper at
godaddy.com.
The last time I checked they were
selling dot
com, net, org names for only
$8.95.
As I speak, there's a new hosting
company
that specialises in hosting Mini
Sites. They
are www.bizminisites.com and for
only $9.95
you get 3 months of quality web
hosting.
If you would like an example of a
very
effective Mini Site have a look at
the
following sites.

http://www.track-your-ads.com/
http://www.hot-date-finder.com/

You can find alot of really good
web site
templates at www.freesitetemplates.com.

http://www.websitehere.com
As you can see, I've got my web
site address
and special offers throughout the
report. But
I was telling people to go to my
website.
Since you don't have a web site,
you would
put a little advertisement for
your affiliate
program at the start and at the
end of your
reports.
Also, you can put your affiliate
links
throughout the report as long as
it’s in
context, not blatant plugging of
your
affiliate program. Trust me, this
does not
work.
If your prospect hasn't purchased
from you
after your free reports have been
sent out,
don't worry. The next part is
where you will
get most of your sales.
Considering there are
so many other affiliates promoting
the same
or similar product you are, you
have to make
them want to buy from you.
How do you do this? Easy, you over
deliver.
You give them more then what they
expected,
and you distance yourself from
being a no
name affiliate and turn yourself
into a
trusted friend.
I like to do this by giving away
something
else if they purchase from the affiliate
program I'm promoting. For
instance, I give
away consultation free, where I
help them
with any problems they might have.
Here's an example of a report I
used to get
people in the buying mode. Mind
you this is
for a product I was selling, yet
you will
still get the idea. I purchased
this book
from KillerMiniSites.com and purchased the
resell rights for $249.95.
Hi Firstname,
I have a secret for you that will
hopefully
make you very excited.
As you know, Killer Mini Sites is
selling
from my web site for $22.70,
$79.95 and
$249.95. If you're confused about
the
different options, let me explain.
For $22.70, you get a copy of the
book Killer
Mini Sites and you can resell the
book to
your web site visitors for $24.95.
But
remember, this option is full of
my Affiliate
Links, where I'm earning money
from your hard
work.
For $79.95 you get a fully branded
copy of
Killer Mini Sites that you can
sell for
$24.95 with your Affiliate Links
that will
earn you residual income
constantly.
For $249.95 you get a fully
branded copy of
Killer Mini Sites that you can
sell for
$24.95, you also get to sell the
customization rights for $79.95 and the big
profit puller is you can sell the
MASTER
RIGHTS for a massive $249.95 per
sale.
But, here's the best bit. I'm
offering, for a
very limited time only, the MASTER
RIGHTS to
Killer Mini Sites for ONLY $150.
I'm slashing
$100 dollars off the price and I'm
throwing
in FREE Consultation with me via
email any
time you need help.
That's right, you get your own
Internet
Publishing Busines complete with
website
sales letter and branding
utilities, and FREE
consultation that I sell elsewhere
for
$147.00.
To be honest, I don't know what
you're
waiting for, this offer will not
be around
for long.
You can purchase the MASTER RIGHTS
Today by
clicking the link below. Remember,
this link
is for the $150 MASTER RIGHT
option.
http://www.clickbank.net/sell.yourlink
I can tell you now, the book is
selling like
hot cakes and if you purchase
today, I will
give you my secret tactic that
makes 1 in
every 45 people purchase this
product.
I will also show you how to get
unlimited
email leads for you to advertise
to
constantly without spamming.
If this is not a big enough
motivator to
purchase today, I don't know what is.
If you would like more information
about the
book, which in itself is amazing,
visit my
web site at
http://www.websitehere.com
or email me at
email@here.com - This is my home
account, you
email will get priority status.
To your success and may your
clicks come
often
Your Name
http://www.websitehere.com
P.S, If you don't order today,
please email
me and tell me what’s stopping you
so I can
sweeten the deal.
This got an amazing response. It
was sent 2
days after the free course was
over. The pull
here was that I will give them
$100 off the
price of the product, plus still
give them
free consultation for 6 months.
The options are limitless.
Of course this would not be the
end of your
contact with them. If the prospect
still
hasn't purchased the first
affiliate program
you're promoting that's OK. Don't
go
breathing down their necks telling
them to
purchase from you or else. The
lifetime value
of a prospect is a lot more then just a one
off sale.
That's why for this very reason,
you selected
three affiliate programs to
promote. Instead
of trying to get the prospect to
buy the one
product over and over again, offer
them
something fresh. With this in
mind, I
recommend offering them a residual
income
affiliate program, like a
membership site.
Create another report and start
all over
again. An Opt-in list is a
continues funnel
of money.
Of course, when people purchase
from you,
they should be taken off the
prospect list,
and added to your customer list.
This list is
your most important asset. It's 10
times as
important then your prospects list
because
these people showed they were
willing to buy
from you.
Some affiliate programs don't
allow you to
see the email addresses of people
who buy
from you, so that's why when
you're giving
away your special offer in
conjunction with
your affiliate program, you ask
them to send
you an email when they have
purchased, then
you will give them what ever bonus
you were
offering.
(Remember, when your prospect buys
something
from you, they become a customer,
so do not
forget to take them off your
prospects list.)
With these people, you will want
to give them
other special deals not available to your
prospect list. The first email
sent to them
should be thanking them for their
purchase,
and letting them know how they can
receive
their free bonus and how they can
contact you
at anytime.
The second email sent to them
should be sent
a few days later giving them
another free
bonus they were not expecting. I
love it when
people do this for me, and I
suggest you do
this for your customers, because
that's what
they are, they are your customers.
The third email you send them
should be sent
out about 7 days after they
purchase from
you. This email should offer them
a backend
product, for instance your
residual income
affiliate program. If you can, see
if you can
talk to the affiliate program
manager and get
a special discount rate on the
product, or
maybe the first month for $1, just
for your
customers. I doubt any affiliate program
manager would reject a sure fire
way to make
even more money.
In the mid to long term, this will
build a
nice on going lifelong income for
you.
About 7 days after your third
email was sent,
send them another discount
product, but make
sure this product is in the high
commission
range. This is where you will make
most of
big incomes from.
You will earn a decent income with
smaller
sized commissions, but when you
start selling
larger priced affiliate programs when you
already have a list of contacts,
it becomes a
very large automated income.
The information business is truly
the best
business to be in. I get excited
when I'm
writing books and thinking about
the
possibilities. It's great meeting
new people
and making new friendships.
Make sure you
customer base
other special
make sure you
keep
in contact with your
and
offer them free reports and
offers
every month or two. Just
don't
over do it.
There are not too many autoresponders
that
can handle this sort of work load
for a cheap
price, however, I have found one
that will do
this and more. It's called Aweber.com and you
can get a free trial for 30 days.
Then after
that it's only $19.95 per month.
They give
you unlimted autoresponders and
other great
options. You wont find anything
else like it.
If you're after a residual income
affiliate
program to promote, I recommend
these people.
Considering you have no web
hosting bills
like nearly everyone else on line,
you can
afford to pay a little bit more
for your
autoresponder.
Now how many businesses do you
know of that
can run on a $19.95 investment
only every
month?
If you really want to keep
generating income
constantly, you could produce free
reports
every month, and advertise them to your
current list, while still
advertising your
first affiliate program report.
Imagine
having an around the clock sales
machine
sending out free reports to
thousands, while
promoting your affiliate program's
and
building a name for yourself.
Advertise Your First Affiliate
Program Via
Your Free Report
This is the easier step, yet the
step most
people have trouble with. Creating
an
excellent free report is ALLOT
harder then
advertising your free report. It's
just a
matter of coming up with a list of
good
ezines and discussion boards to
advertise on.
Signature files are a surprise add
on here,
but they really do work. I will
discuss this
further down.
Plus you will need to generate a
list of
ezine publishers so you can send
them
articles to use for their ezine.
While all these ways will produce
you a nice
flow of subscribers, you really
can't beat
Co-registration for price,
effectiveness,
speed and ease of use. It's not
unheard of to
generate hundreds of new
subscribers everyday
using Co-registration, and it's
true, they
won't be as responsive as people
from a web
site promoting your free report,
but you
didn't have a web site to start
with.
Ezine advertising would have to be
my
favourite option, as it's quick
and easy. The
only hard part is writing the ad copy for
your ads, and finding ezine's to
advertise
in.
Apart from that, there are two
ezine
directories that I use constantly,
they are
TopEzineAds.com and
Directoryofezines.com.
There is a cost to use these, but
they will
be your lifeline until you
generate a list of
ezines yourself.
The whole aim of this advertising
campaign is
to generate leads for your free
report, so
you really want to advertise
anywhere you
think people might be interested
in your
report. Since your not going for a
direct
sale straight off the bat, this
somewhat
allows you to be a little less
worried about
how targeted your audience is.
If you're running low on money, I
recommend
classified advertising. It's so
inexpensive
that I advertise Internet
marketing products
in humour ezines and still pull a
good
response rate for the amount of
money I put
in.
You can get classified ads for
around $2 per
ad, which is extremely cheap. I
highly
recommend Partneon.com and Twodollarads.com
for any classified advertising
you're going
to do. Of course if you search
through ezine
directories you will find a lot of
other
places to advertise cheaply.
Writing classified ads has turned
into
somewhat of an art form. There are
literally
hundreds of books on the subject of writing
successful classified ads, yet
most over
complicate it too much.
So what makes a good classified
ad? A good
classified ad consists of the
following,
1) An attention grabbing headline
FREE REPORT
SECRETS REVEALED
HOW TO
2) A promise
Become A Millionaire Overnight

Once you've found a few good
ezine's, keep
advertising with them. After you
think you've
got the most out of their
classified ad
section, start using sponsorship
ads.
While this will be quite a steep climb in
costs compared to classified ads,
the results
will be quite dramatically
different. Top
sponsorship ads can cost anywhere
between $15
to $300 dollars depending on where
you're
advertising.
I recommend using top sponsorship
ads if you
don't want to spend a lot extra on
purchasing
a solo ad. However if you can
purchase a solo
ad for an extra $50 or so, I would
definitely
go for the solo ad. Sponsorship
ads also give
you an idea of how well their
ezine pulls and
whether or not it's worth the time
and money
to buy a solo ad.
Don't get carried away with
figures when you
purchase a solo ad. When I first
started out,
I advertised a product directly
via my solo
ad. The ad went out to 12,000
people and
going on the figures of 1% buying
my product,
I thought this Internet Marketing
thing
wasn't that hard.
I did my research, I was told this
ezine was
good, which it is, and I went for
it. The
commission I was going to receive
for every
sale was $20. So 120 were suppose
to buy,
time $20 per sale came to $2400.
How much money did I actually make
from this
ad? $20!. That's right, I only
made $20. Why?
A) Because I advertised the
affiliate program
directly
B) I did not know the affiliate
program had
been advertised about 10 times
before
C) I didn't even have a way to capture email
addresses
It was a total flop and I was very
put off
from trying again.
That lasted about 4 hours! That
night I was
re-reading the information that
got me into
this mess to start with. I
followed exactly
what the affiliate program manager
said to
do, and it didn't work. Luckily
for me, at
that time I stopped listening to
affiliate
managers and started thinking for
myself.
Have a look around any ezines
you've joined,
and try and remember if you read
any of the
ads. If so, which one's and why?
Did you sign
up for what they were offering? If
no, Why?
This is the best way to find ezine
ads that
work. If you read the ad and
signed up for
what they were offering, other
people would
have as well. Well, you would hope
so.
Another method of free advertising
I like to
use is discussion board posting.
Discussion board posting is free
and very
effective, especially if the
message board is
inside a members only site where
you pay to
join.
The idea here is not to spam the
message
board, but to actually add some
content. Only
answer questions you know a lot
about. Don't
try and be an expert on a topic
your not. I'm
not an expert at copywriting, so I
very
rarely give people expert advice
on this. I
help people with basic questions, but no more
unless I really know what I'm
talking about.
This is the best way to ruin your
reputation
before you're even lucky enough to
create
one.

think is the
perfect

Ebook Covers....Recommendations,

Happy Weekend One and All!
I am looking for an Ebook Cover
Designer. I
know that many folks here are
ebook authors
or are ebook cover designers.
I am in the market for some covers
and am
looking for recommendations.
Please share any positive
recommendations, or
email me with cautions.
Thanks a bunch, everyone, all of a
sudden I
am on warped speed here in
Bakersfield.....
With Purpose and Passion,
JULIE JORDAN SCOTT
(That was taken from http://www.ablake.net
message board, which is highly
recommended.)
I must admit, I don't use the
following
advertising method as much as I
should
because it can really boost
traffic over
time.
Signature files are little blurps
of text
either after a post in a message
board or at
the bottom of your email. The most
notable
use of a signature file would have
to be
Hotmail.com Hotmail originally relied on it's
own customers to promote their
service as
each email message they sent
contained a
direct link to Hotmail's sign-up
website.
This viral marketing strategy
generated
hundreds of thousands, very possibly millions
of new users for their free
service.
The idea of signature files is to
make them
as short and as compelling as
possible. Let's
say I just finished writing a post
to a
message board and I was just
talking about
affiliate programs.
This is what I write after my
message board
post to advertise my website.
"Discover How To Generate
Thousands Without A
Web Site Or A Product Of Your
Own"
And I would link that to my sales
page. A
good idea is to also use a
separate tracking
system to track how many hits your
message
board postings are receiving. I
talk about
this more in "Tracking Your
Way To Success"
If you were answering a question
on creating
a well written sales letter, you
could use
your signature file to promote an
affiliate
program like InstantSalesLetters.com. It's
that simple.
Writing Articles To Generate A
Monthly Viral Income
Here's the idea.
We've all been taught to create
free viral
ebooks to either promote our
products or
affiliate products and submit them
to free
ebook directories. This was sound
advice, but
I've found an even better way to
make this
work.
Create your own free ebook
directory full of
your own free viral ebooks!
Think Clickbank.com but with free
ebooks on
all subjects that you own,
promoting
affiliate programs 24/7.
People go to this site, download
the free
book they want, they pass it
around, and
there ya go, automated affiliate
income.
But how do you go about creating
these free
ebooks so they produce the best
sales
possible? I've found by creating
an FAQ list
(frequently asked question) on a
certain
subject and then converting it
into PDF, my
affiliate sales have soared.
I'm not trying to heavily sell
them in the
book, they are getting very useful
free
information and I then point them
to a paid
resource to get more information
if they want
to.
I also ask them to pass the book
around as
much as they like.
Want an example of an FAQ list? Go
here
This FAQ list is quite big and
detailed. Your
free books only need to be 5 or so
pages
long.
Here is an article I wrote on
creating a
viral ebook. It really doesn't
have much to
do with the business idea in
general, but
will give you an idea of what I'm
talking
about at least:
This is just a very quick
overview, but if
you want more information on
creating Ebooks,
I suggest you visit 2 sites.
My favorite site is Terry Dean's
exclusive
membersite at
http://www.netbreakthroughs.com. It's full of
the best information on marketing
and it's
only $19.95 a month.
The next product solely focuses on
creating
your own Ebook in less then 7 days
and that
is written by Jim Edwards. You can
find it at
http://www.7dayebook.com. It's a one off fee
for $27 and it comes in Ebook
format
ironically enough.
Now, back to my explanation.
Whether you like it or not, having
your own
product gives you more flexibility
in your
online advertising AND believe it
or not,
compiling an Ebook is no more then
a weeks
work part time if done correctly
and IF you
do it this way the profits will
come in for
life.
I have checks coming in still from
work I did
2 years ago, thanks to the power
of residual
income affiliate programs and
viral marketing
Ebooks.
Ok, lets get down to the nitty
gritty. What
is a viral marketing Ebook and why
should you
create one?
A viral marketing Ebook is a book which sole
purpose is to be spread around the
Internet
quickly, by any means possible.
It's not
meant to make you money on the
front end. You
want other people selling it and
giving it
away to as many people as
possible.
Why?
Because the inside of that book is
full of
affiliate links to other peoples
products and
every time someone gives away your
book or
sells it, (depending on how you
want to do
it) more people will be seeing
your affiliate
links, and this is costing you
what? NOTHING?
Exactly!
The best examples I could give you
of this
process would be by Yanik Silver.
He created
2 marketing books that spread over
the
Internet like wildfire. He gave
everyone who
purchased the book for $19 or $17
(depending
on the book) the rights to sell it
or give it
away to their customers.
Needless to say, thousands of
people starting
selling it and promoting it all
over the
Internet. To this day, he is still
earning
good money from that book, plus he
became one
of the most well known Internet
Marketers to
date.
So how do you go about creating
your own
viral marketing Ebook?
Here are the steps.
1) Come up with a product idea based on your
affiliate program you've already
chosen and
are already promoting.
Coming up with ideas isn't hard.
For example,
and I know I use this example a
lot, BUT, If
you are going to be promoting a
sports
betting affiliate program, why not
create a
book on becoming a successful
punter. Then
throughout the book, you can
recommend your
favorite sports betting affiliate
program.
101 insider secrets to sports
betting
How to bet with other peoples
money
A good way to come up with ideas
is to look
at what others are already selling
and mimic
that. You dont need to recreate
the wheel
here, so PLEASE don't make things
harder then
they have to be.
2) Get the tools you need to
succeed
You are going to need a few tools
here.
A) A domain name
I register all my domain names
with
http://www.namecheap.com for under $9 a
domain name, which to me is pretty
darn
cheap. You want a fairly short
domain name
that describes the content of your
book
fairly well.
Here's an example for you people
promoting
sport betting affiliate programs.
etc....
B) Webhosting
Let me say first, you get what you
pay for.
This has never been more true then
with
webhosting. YOU NEED a good
reliable
webhosting company with 24/7
technical
support. If your site goes down
and you can't
contact anyone to help you get it
back up,
you will lose sales and a lot of
them.
I recommed you use
http://www.thirdspherehosting.com for the
simple fact they offer all you
need, plus a
lot more for a reasonable price.
C) Autoresponder
You will need this so you can
contact your
prospects that don't purchase
straight away.
This is where you will give away
your free
course or someway to entice them
to give you
their email address so you can
contact them
periodically.
D) Credit card processor
Just use http://www.clickbank.com. This step
is too easy. They will let you
accept all
major credit cards and start an
affiliate
program for a one time setup fee
of under
$50. They do take a percentage of every sale,
but this is so much cheaper then
getting your
own merchant account.
Just about everyone selling Ebooks
online is
using Clickbank.
E) Ebook Software
You will more then likely want to
create your
book in PDF format so everyone can
read it.
Some Ebooks come in EXE format,
but mac users
can't read that format, so I find
it best to
use PDF. You can create your book
with
http://www.createpdf.com for a fairly cheap
price.
F) Graphic Design Software
If you are anything like me, your
artistic
abilities peaked at age 7. So
instead of
busting my hump to create my Ebook
covers and
website graphics I use
http://www.ecovergenerator.comand
http://www.headergenerator.com for all my
graphics. They are great pieces of
software
that you can use instead of hiring
graphic
designers.
I do however recommend one graphic
designer
by the name of Brian Terry. You
can view his
work at http://www.ebookwow.com.
3) Outline your book chapters into
articles
Writing a whole book in one
sitting is hard,
and trying to write a book without
outlining
the chapters is nearly impossible. My first
book I ever wrote took me over 6
months but
now most of my books take me less
then a week
to finish and that is with a sales
letter and
website up.
All you have to do is think up 12
to 15
article topics in sequence and
write about
them. Each page should be around
700 to 1000
words, full of useful information,
not
information people could get for
free.
4) Write your content
Like I said just before, you need
original
content. There are too many books
out there
now where people are just
regurgitating
information others can get for
free and this
lowers the value of your book,
which means
less people will pass it around
and even less
will read it.
If you are really stuck with your
writing, I
suggest that you do the following.
Actually,
Terry Dean from
http://www.netbreakthroughs.com taught me
this trick.
The best way to get a good amount
of original
information without writing it
yourself is to
interview experts in the field.
For instance,
if you were writing a book about
improving
your golf handicap, I'm sure it
wouldn't be
too hard to find some local
experts who you
could grill in person, over the
phone or even
via the Internet and you can then
put all
that information in the book. It's
also a
good selling point.
Also remember when your writing
what the
point of this book is. The point
of the book
is to earn you an on going
commission with
affiliate programs, so don't feel
like you
can't throw some affiliate links
in, because
you can, but make sure it's
tactful and in
place.
Another good idea would be to put
a
"Subscribe to my
newsletter" section in your
book as well, so not only will you
make
commissions on sales, but also
generate leads
without doing any extra work.
Make sure you clearly state in the
front of
the book, that the buyer can sell
this book
as his own. State that he has
Resell Rights
to the product and can sell it or
give it
away if he chooses.
5) Create your sales letter
This is where you will be selling
your book
from and is critically crucial to
your
success.
Creating a sales letter takes a
lot of work,
especially if your new to the
whole thing.
The best way and the way I use, is
to mimic
successful sales letters.
I recommend you have a look at the
following
sales letters selling Ebooks.
http://www.turnwordsintotraffic.com
http://www.masterinternetmarketing.com
http://www.linkingstrategies.com
http://www.the-whole-truth.com
http://www.instantinternetprofits.com
If for some reason you think you
can't do
this by yourself, you have 2
options.
1) Use software that helps put
together your
sales letter
and
2) Hire a copywriter
Software is great and there a 2
options out
there. The first one is
http://www.instantsalesletters.com by Yanik
Silver and
http://www.saleslettergenerator.com by Armand
Morin. They are just as good as
each other.
However, if you want to hire a
professional
copywriter, your looking at
thousands of
dollars, plus royalties from your
book sales.
Remember that your selling this
book with
reprint rights, which means when
they buy the
book they can sell it as well.
This is a huge
selling point for you. You will
also be
giving them your Ebook cover,
website
graphics and sales letter to use
to sell your
product.
6) Plug in your free 5 day
autoresponder
series
The best way to write your free 5 day course
that your prospect get via your
pop up window
is to take chapters out of your
book and put
them in as a free teaser.
Remember to emphasize an urgency.
You want to
make these prospects who don't buy
straight
away, feel like they are missing
out on an
opportunity of a life time and
considering
the low price of the book, if they
don't buy,
more then likely they weren't
really
interested or were freebie seekers
from the
start.
7) Advertise!
Depending on your topic, you will
want to
target different people. However,
no matter
what topic your selling on, there
is one
market who will want your book for
the sole
purpose of selling it, and that's
the
Internet Marketing group.
Your book could be on Hippo's but
all they
care about is the fact they can
sell it as
their own. This is why this type
of book
always does well.
The key is to target people in
your market
and then the Internet Marketing
crowd. I
really am begging you to check out
Terry
Deans http://www.netbreakthroughs.com as it
will give you all the knowledge
you need and
if you want you can stay for 1
month and
still get more then you will ever
need,
information and personal help wise.
Other Ways To Profit From
Articles
Being an affiliate is a hard
enough job at
the best of times, but have you
ever tried to
get your article published in a
large ezine
publication? It can be a nightmare
sometimes.
It's even harder if you try and
work your
affiliate link into the article.
Articles are a great way to get
free exposure
for your web site and your
affiliate program.
Hopefully your web sites goal will
be to get
Opt-In email addresses and you
have some sort
of free report system working.
However, I have been testing an
idea for
quite awhile now that I think
really works
and I guarantee you that you will
get your
article published 100% more then
you do now.
This works especially well if
you're running
an Opt-In mailing list which I
recommend you
do.
Ezine publishers receive hundreds of articles
for publishing a week, so why should
they
publish yours? You might think you
have the
best article ever written, and you
might, but
ezine publishers have to make
money too you
know. My idea not only will
increase your
chances of getting published but
you will
also be helping ezine publishers
make more
money, which in the long run they
will
remember and will be more
receptive to your
articles in the future.
Here's the idea.
When you write your article, try
and work an
affiliate link into it. Make sure
it's in
context and not just a blatant
advertisement
as that's why most ezine
publishers refuse to
publish affiliate members
articles.
As I was saying, write your
article and in
that article put a link to an
affiliate
program you're promoting in
context in your
article. It helps when doing this
that you
can say that you honestly use that
product or
service. I guarantee you a
personal
endorsement in your article will
double the
sales you would get with out an
endorsement.
The twist here is that the
affiliate link you
put in will be changed by the
ezine
publisher. You will be letting the
ezine
publisher change your affiliate
link in your
article so they can earn
commissions from
your article and therefore
increasing the
chances of getting your article
published.
This has never failed for me and
I'm sure it
won't fail for you.
So how do you make money from
this? Well if
you have your own autoresponder
free report
series set up, you can use that in
your
article by line. You would make
more sales
from this then from commissions
from the
article. Your goal in any
affiliate exercise
is to get as many Opt-In email
addresses as
possible and as cheaply and
quickly as
possible.
Make sure your article by line is
something
that catches the readers
attention. Heres a
by line I used when promoting an
article on
Mini Sites. You can see I use a
tracker to
show how many people click on my
link.
Your Name has been helping people
succeed
online for over X years and has
dedicated his
life to Internet Marketing. Visit
his web
site to find out how you can
create mini
sites that sell like crazy. Go to
his website
at
http://www.websitehere.com
However, if you wanted to promote
your free
autoresponder report series I
would use
something like this,
Your Name has been helping people
succeed
online for over X years and has
dedicated his
life to Internet Marketing. Find
out how to
earn a full time automated income
with
affiliate programs on a budget by
sending a
blank email to
your@autoresponderhere.com
(I have many variations of this by line)
This is the most effective way to
use your
article. Going for the one off
sale is
ridiculous and risky to your
online business.
Best Places To Submit Your
Articles For Massive
Exposure
There are many pieces of software
that will
submit your article to directories
for you,
for instance.....
Which is all the rave now.
You can also hire services like
Submityourarticle.com and
Phantomwriters.com
to submit your articles for you,
but this
gets very costly if you are
writing lots and
lots of articles at once.
Personally, I like to do it
myself.
Here are list of article
directories I submit
my articles to.
Yahoo Groups
