Traffic. You need it. There are hundreds and thousands of “how to”
manuals, systems, and web sites dedicated to this one topic. Traffic.

If you’re going to sell your product, people have to see it. If nobody
visits your site, it is impossible to sell them anything.

On the flip side of that same coin, once you get them to your site, you
have about 10 seconds to capture their attention. They need to want
your product right away, or at least want to know more.

Have you ever visited a site and either clicked the “back” button or redirected
to another site right away? It happens all the time. You weren’t “captured”
by the headline.

I’m going to share with you my personal “how to” for writing headlines
that “capture” attention…and help you to convert traffic to sales.

The Primary Headline is your biggest weapon of the sales page and should
be used to showcase your biggest benefit to the reader. It should be large
text, bold, and with different colors to highlight the most important points.

Answer these few questions for a start:

What is the ultimate “best reason” someone should buy your product?

What is the most desirable result of buying your product to the reader?

What, above everything else, would be most beneficial about buying it to
the reader?

This is your chance to quickly summarize your entire salesletter in one or
two eye-catching sentences that are GUARANTEED to be read by the
visitor to your site.

Fire your biggest gun! You don’t have any time to lose…they need to be
“captured” by what your product can accomplish for them!

Lay it all down…in one or two short sentences. What will the reader need to
do, and what, in the end, will be the ULTIMATE reward for doing it? You can
tell them details of how to do it later…for now, keep it simple, and keep the
rewards in the forefront.

Do “this”, and get “that”. Having “this” will get you “that”. Cause and effect…a
simple principle you’ve learned about since grade school. A simple cause
leading to a highly rewarding effect…that’s what people are looking for.

This model can take many forms, but the principle is always the same.
Risk/reward. Input/outcome. Time invested/money earned. Etc…

As with any type of advertisement or sales copy, there are some simple rules
to follow in creating your headline…things that will help to boost the effect…

Use Details. The more specific you can be the better. Not only does your
statement seem more believable with specifics, but in many instances it can
see more reachable. It’s not just “create a guide”, it’s “create a 10 step guide”.
It’s not just “create a membership course”, it’s “get started with one lesson
written…”

Use Time Frames. One of the things most people want is a “time frame”.
How long will this take? When can I expect results? It’s not just “earn
money working from home”, it’s “make a living working JUST A FEW
HOURS each week…” It’s “in as little as 48 hours…”

Use Word Pictures. Most people want the easiest route to their destination
of choice. Use word pictures to describe the ultimate result most desirable
to the reader. It’s not just “working at home”, it’s “working from the
comfort of your easy chair”.

So, there’s a lot to convey in your headline. It sets the tone for your entire
sales message, so spend some time developing it based on the things we’ve
talked about here.

You need to “capture” the readers’ attention right away…and the Primary
Headline will be the first thing they read…that they’re almost guaranteed
to read. Make it count.

I know you have probably heard “The money is in the list” no fewer than hundreds
of times unless you are very new to Internet Marketing. Why is building a subscriber
list so important?

There are numerous reason why you should be building a list from the beginning of
your online endeavors. Even though we are mostly talking about Affiliate Marketing
and related matters the reasons I give can be used in any type of business.

What makes a business? Is it the product that you are selling that makes your business.
While having a product to sell whether it is your own or your are promoting a product
as an affiliate, the product doesn’t actually make the business. Then again it is
important to have a product that is good and fulfills your customers wants and or
needs.

Is the website your business? Where having a website is important it doesn’t make
your business. You may have the best looking website of the millions of websites on
the internet. But, without one important factor your website is just another piece of
cyber real estate that very few if any at all see it.

The main and most important ingredient that makes a business a successful one is
the customer. The customer (also referred to a traffic) is what you have to send
to your website to get a free gift in exchange for their name and email address to
build your list of subscribers.

Your free gift can be signing up for your newsletter, and ebook, a video course, a
useful software, and even an ecourse. As long as it is something of recognizable
value that will entice them to sign up (opt-in) giving your permission to email
them in the future.

Remember to always include valuable content when emailing your subscribers and
not bombard the with offer after offer so your unsubscribe rate will stay low. Give
your subscribers a reason to look forward to receiving and opening your emails. Do
this and you will be able to market to them for months and even years to come.

Find out how you can build yourself a large list of subscribers and turn them into
buyers by following this link;  List Building Know How

The life blood of any website is TRAFFIC.

By now you should have your landing page (opt-in page) ready and a product that
is relevant to the subject of your opt-in product. Now comes the most import part
and that is sending traffic to you opt-in page to build your list and promoting your
product you have to offer.

There are several ways to send traffic to your website. Article Marketing is probably
the most long term method that works the best. For short term you have PayPerClick
using Google Adwords which if not done right can get rather expensive and cause a
monetary loss reflected in you ROI.

I have covered Traffic exchanges in past post and use them only by purchasing the
credits to send traffic to my landing page. Once you have built your list then you
can email your offer to your list members. Use caution here by not bombarding your
list with offer after offer which can and more than likely cause you to loose a valuable
subscriber.

This one of the more rewarding Traffic programs that I have used and have had good results
from using it.

I hope this can be of good use for you in building you online business.

A Resource New and Intermediate Affiliate Marketers Should Have.

While ClickBank may not be the only source to find products to promote. It is
by far the largest around when it comes to information products. Trying to
understand ClickBank’s policies can be another issue that not all of us need when
starting a new online business. Sometime I feel like I need a lawyer to explain to
me what some of the jargon is actually saying.

That was the case until I read a report explaining what it all means in terms that I
or anyone else can truly understand. It was simple and straight to the point about
the main components that were of interest to me and using ClickBank to my advantage.

It made so much sense to me that I would like to share it with one and all. The most
amazing aspect was it came at no cost to me. You can pick up your copy (at no cost)
today by going to ClickBank Marketplace.

Guess what, there is no opt-in required, isn’t that out of the norm. Believe me
when I tell you the information in this small report is priceless. It answers many questions about ClickBank and gives you some solutions to issues you may
have yourself. Don’t just take my word for it, just get your copy today and see what I am talking about.

Clickbank Marketplace. Needing PLR Content. How About Link Cloaking?

The above are very key ingredients to the success of most if not all Affiliate
Marketers. Recently we covered in a post about Selecting The Right Products
To Promote. Which hit on the most important factors on product selection but
didn’t quite cover it all. More on that further down.

What is the hardest part of creating your own product? You found a hot targeted
market, they have expressed their problems or needs, so what is your next step?
Creating a product that solves their problem or need. Well, lot easier said than
done you say.

You have three maybe four options;

1. Research and create the product yourself, which can take a some time and a
lot of effort. Plus you stand to loose this market if someone else comes up with
the product before you get yours released.

2. Search ClickBank marketplace and other affiliate programs to find a product
that can meet their needs. This is a more quicker approach than product creation by far. After all you get a percentage of the sale if the sales letter compels the reader
to purchase the product.

3. Find a Private Label Rights (PLR) product that will fit their needs and revamp
it to look like a different product. Yes, it is ethical and a lot of Gurus are doing just that. Another plus to this solution is, it is your product and you get to keep 100% of
the revenue generated by it.

We all have tons of PLR on our hard drive so option number 3 would be the best
solution to consider. If you are one that doesn’t have a lot of PLR products a
great resource for products is Monthly Content. I sincerely like what Ryan has
done with his site and can honestly recommend him to you. The products are
first class and the rights to the product are displayed so you don’t have to go
searching for them in the product folder itself. Just go to Monthly Content with Ryan.

One way that I am not covering at this time is Outsourcing. That in itself is a subject
that can take time to cover and do it right.

ClickBank Marketplace. There are more than 1 million affiliates that have accounts
at ClickBank, of that number over 90% of ClickBank affiliates are INACTIVE.

Read that last sentence again.

Why are they inactive and what happens when an affiliate account becomes inactive.
What I would like for you to do is download this FREE report at ClickBank Marketplace
today and learn about ClickBank and what you have to do to starting earning income
and how to keep from having a inactive account so you can get paid.

Link Cloaking: One of the biggest problems affiliates face is commission theft. Yes,
there are some that will see your affiliate link and change one part of it to get the
commission themselves. There are ways to combat this using link cloakers. You can
install a software at your hosting account to cloak your link and track the results. You
also have desktop software that will cloak your links for you, or you can use a online
service to cloak and track your links for you.

One such online link cloaking service I like is OffTo.net which is run by Johnathan
Leger and is totally free. So, you do want to hassle with installing software or dealing with MySql databases then you should consider OffTo.net. After all it will not cost you to try this service out. Not only does it cloak your link but keeps stats for you also.

There you have it, 3 good resources for you to help you succeed with you affiliate
marketing goals. ClickBank Marketplace, Monthly Content, and OffTo.net.

How To Choose The most profitable products from the Clickbank marketplace to promote.

I want to begin by asking you this question.

Do you know how to choose a product from the Clickbank market place that
you know will be profitable?

If you answered “yes” that is great, you are probably earning money using
clickbank as a resource for products.

If you answered “no” then hopefully after today you will have a better
understanding of what is involved in choosing a profitable profit through
Clickbank.

First, when it comes to choosing and promoting Clickbank products it is a
good idea to have a solid criteria that you can use to decide if the
product is going to be profitable and worth your time and effort.

Now, a few of the key things you should look at are the Gravity score,
the competition, the salesletter, the commission rate and the price of the
actual product.

For now I would like to talk about the Clickbank gravity score and how it
will help you choose the right products to promote.

Ok, so what exactly is Clickbank gravity? To this day that is a question that
continues to baffle many affiliates.

But, according to Clickbank the gravity score is:

The number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by referring
a paying customer to the vendor’s products. This is a weighted sum
and not an actual total. For each affiliate paid in the last eight weeks
they add an amount between 0.1 and 1.0 to the total. The more recent
the last referral, the higher the value added.

[If you need to reread the last paragraph until you completely understand it.]

It doesn’t actually have anything to do with the total amount of sales that
have been made for a particular product.

What a high gravity score actually indicates is that affiliate marketers
are earning plenty of commissions on sales from the product.

A low gravity score indicates that there haven’t been many sales for the
product at all.

So as you can see the actual gravity of a product is an important indicator
of how successful a product is selling.

Lets look at an example of how you can interpret the gravity score.
Let’s say for instance that the product has a score of 336, that means
that 336 affiliates have made a sale for that product within the last eight
weeks.

Keep in mind that this doesn’t reflect the amount of sales made by each
affiliate. It could be that 336 affiliates made one sale each or that three
affiliates made 112 sales each. There is really no way to tell for sure.
But it can lead you to the conclusion that a high gravity score often
means more competitors.

It is important to keep in mind that it will be more difficult to make
money from a product that has a large number of affiliates promoting it.
A good rule of thumb is to aim for products that have a referral
percentage below 65%. This means you will have less competition.

If you don’t mind the competition it is perfectly OK to promote products
with a higher gravity score. Simply because these products have been
proven to be successful sellers and you can be sure that there is a
market for them.

Then again, there are lots of extremely valuable products on Clickbank
that have a far lower gravity score with less competition. Of course the
choice is completely up to you, but I recommend that you keep your
product choices limited to ones with a gravity of 20 or higher. Because
most products below that just won’t make any money for you no matter
how much you promote them.

After you have found several products that meet your criteria based on
the gravity score you can begin looking at the other variables like
evaluating the sales letter, cost and commissions.

By understanding how the Clickbank gravity score works you can be
more confident that you are picking the most profitable products to
promote.

Look for the more information on evaluating the sales letter soon.

Why Researching Your Market is Critical To Your Business.

I would like to talk to you today about “Market Research” and the
important role it will play in you online business endeavors.

Remember when you first started with Internet Marketing did you
have any problem choosing a product to promote. More than likely
you didn’t but, after promoting it how much did you earn? Was it a
hot product you made money with? Or, was it a product that you
wasted time and money promoting and made very little or even
possibly lost money?

Tuff questions but the answers to them helped you learn not to
repeat those mistakes. Lessons learned! One question that you should
ask yourself is “Did I do the proper research needed to be done before
I chose and promoted the product?”

I you answered “no” to the last question then you are not alone and
now realize the importance of market research. So, how do you do
the proper research and what should you look for?

There are so many ways that books have been written since the time
advertising was first used. Believe it or not, even today a lot of the
original ideas about market research back then still apply to market
research today. Its just we have a different (and more improved)
access to the information today than years ago.

One way to get the information you need is to ask your list/customers
questions about what you want to know. The most important aspect
of this is to listen to what they have to say. It can only deepen your
relationships with them and improve you company identity, even
leading to new markets and or new products that they are telling you
they need or want.

Another way which you probable know about is looking at the trends.
Visit Google Hot Trends, Yahoo Buzz and Answers, eBay Pulse, and
Amazon Bestsellers. Check out what people are talking about, what
they are buying, problems they need answers to, tools they may
need or want.

43things.com is another great source for leads to affiliate products,
or even for ideas of a product you can create. They are there telling
you what interest them, what problems they need solved and hopefully
you can guide them to what they need.

Clickbank.com/marketplace as you know is the leading supplier for
digital products that you can promote. Once there you can choose
the category you are interested in and find the products that will
supply the information your target market needs.

Another source I like to use is cbengine.com.There they go into more
detail about the product in question giving you a better understanding
of how the product rates and preforms for the affiliates promoting it.
Cbengine has some information you can get for free but, to access the
more critical information on the product there is a small, reasonable
yearly fee that is well worth the investment to access this information.

There are other resources you may want to check out at Commission
Junction, Linkshare and ShareASale.

Another market research idea is to join and monitor forums within
your niche or market. A easy way to find them is to go to Google and
type in niche keyword+forums (affiliate marketing + forums). That
search combination came up with 8.9 million results, so you can see
finding forums should be no problem.

—————————————————————————–
Note: Always read the rules of the forum that you are interested in
and live by them and you should be able to connect with some
good people for possible JV projects, ad swapping, and even cross
promotions.
—————————————————————————-

Once you have completed your research and found your target market
then you should be able to find a product that you can make money
with. The only criteria you need for the product is that it is quality and
solve your markets wants or needs. Visit the sales page and read
through it, if the sales letter gets your attention and convinces you
that this product is something you would buy because it fits your
wants and needs them you have a winner.
