Affiliate Marketing

Hello and welcome, Webmaster affiliates

I can provide you with everything you need to know about Affiliate Marketing.
There is one affiliate program that I have found and use and if you will take the time to look into this, you too can be a work at home affiliate who will build a real business of success.

Let me say this- "free to join affiliate programs are the only ones I use."
Never pay even if they tell you they are top affiliate programs. The best affiliate programs are free and they overdeliver with tools and help.

I want to give you this affiliate ebook to help you get started and succeed! And please! after you read it come back and post what you thought of my gift to you.


Now there are lots of products out there with free affiliate programs for you, but you must decide if the product is something you want to promote to your list. Your clients depend on you to provide them with quality products. An affiliate marketer should be honest and build their client's trust not only in their products, but also in themselves. So you should do product research before joining any affiliate program. This will assure that any products you promote will make your customers happy and build even more trust, leading to more sales.

In 1995 I bought a computer with one thought in mind, to learn about the internet and find a way to make money. Well 14 years later I can honestly say that I have spent lots of time and money to get where I am today. So when I say that affiliate marketing is a good place to start, you can bet I've done my research.
Now I'm going to pass on to you, what I feel to be my best find!

I want to give you the opportunity at this time to look at something that I believe will change the way you look at any affiliate program, and put you on the path to success. Affiliate Program and The product
Enjoy and hope to hear back from you soon!


Affiliate website S.E.O

Search Engine Optimization to increase affiliate sales.

These are the Affiliate marketing steps I have learned over the years.

Brainstorming-finding a Niche(Market) you want to enter. For me it is affiliate programs

Keyword search-finding keywords or groups of keywords in your niche that you will work on ranking for based on competition and traffic amounts for those keywords.
(ie. affiliate program, affiliate website, affiliate sales, free to join affiliate programs, best affiliate programs.) these are a few of my keywords I would like to rank for.

Building content- Using the keywords you want to rank for in the search engines, write content with these keywords. The traffic that is looking for these keywords will be able to find your sight through the search engines.

meta tag- used in source code to tell search engine spider program which keyword you want to rank for

(ie <meta name="keywords" content="affiliate programs,
affiliate website,affiliate sales,
affiliate program, affiliate marketing,
free to join affiliate programs">)
This is how my meta tag will read for my keyword ranking .

Affiliate website list building/opt-in page

Affiliate list building is done for a few reasons, one of course is to gather potential customers and two if the sales page is not quite up to par you may need to help with your own site then redirect them to the company sales page you are an affiliate with
Here is one of mine -just to give you an idea go to my opt-in page


Top 15 Ways to Build Your Subscriber List

Email marketing can be profitable for any business, no matter what kind of product or service you are selling. It is significantly cheaper than other advertising methods and it helps build credibility with your subscribers. As a result, you can generate more sales and profits.
The foundation for successful email marketing is a targeted, responsive and permission-based email list. If you have a list of subscribers that trust you and consider you an expert, you've completed the first step and are on your way!
Below you will several list-building ideas that will help you make the most of your email marketing efforts:

  1. Provide useful, relevant and unique content. Your visitors will not give you their email addresses just because they can subscribe to your newsletter free of charge. You have to provide unique and valuable information that will be useful to your subscribers.


  2. Add a subscription form to every page of your website. Make sure it stands out so it is easy to find. If appropriate, you can also include it in more than one place. For instance, your opt-in form might always appear in the top-left corner of your site, while you also include an opt-in at the bottom of some of your popular articles.


  3. Make it easy for your reader to sign up. The more information you request, the fewer people will opt-in. In most cases, a name and an email address should suffice. If it's not necessary, don't include it here. (Note: If you don't have a Privacy Policy, put the words "privacy policy generator" into a search engine and you should be able to find a suitable form for your readers to review.


  4. Publish a Privacy Policy. Let your readers know that they can be confident you will not share their information with others. The easiest way to do this is to set up a Privacy Policy web page and provide the link to it below your opt-in form.


  5. Show your first issue or other sample to your visitors. This lets potential subscribers review your newsletter before they sign up to determine if it is something they'd be interested in.


  6. Archive past newsletter issues. A "library" of past newsletters is both appealing and useful to visitors and builds your credibility as an authority. In addition, if your articles are written with good SEO techniques in mind, they can send additional traffic to your web site through good search engine positioning.


  7. Contact other newsletter publishers. Introduce yourself and explore ways you may be able to help each other. Perhaps you can introduce other publisher's newsletters or print articles they have written to your list, with a link to sign up. When you contact them, be sure to tell them why you think THEIR readers would like what you have to offer and why YOUR readers would benefit from their newsletters. This is a win-win scenario; both of you will build your lists faster!


  8. Give away bonuses subscribers can use. Create an opt-in bonus for joining your subscriber list. You can write an ebook or PDF report, or even hire a programmer to create downloadable or web-based software. But don't limit yourself to only a gift for new opt-ins. Remind your readers that the next bonus is coming soon. People hate to miss out on things. If you systematically pass on "goodies" throughout the year, your subscribers are unlikely to leave.


  9. Ask your subscribers to pass it on. Word of mouth is a powerful viral technique that works great with email marketing. If your subscribers find the content you share with them to be informative, they will pass your newsletter on to their friends. This can be a good source of new subscribers.


  10. Let others reprint your newsletter as long as the content is not modified. Many webmasters and newsletter publishers are actively looking for high-quality content and, if they reprint your newsletter, you will get new subscribers, traffic and links pointing to your site.


  11. Include a "Sign Up" button in the newsletter. If you are using plain text instead of HTML, provide a text link to your subscription page. You may feel that this is not required because the subscriber is already on your list, but remember that readers will forward your newsletters to others, or reprint it online. You want to make it easy for them to subscribe.


  12. Add a squeeze page. A squeeze page has one goal − to get an opt-in and build your list. Think of it like a mini-sales letter for your subscription or opt-in bonus. It features a powerful headline and a couple of very important benefits that should make subscribers salivate to sign up to your list. Once created, use a service such as WordTracker to find hundreds of targeted keywords, and advertise there using pay-per-click advertising from Google, MSN and Yahoo.


  13. Include testimonials on your squeeze page. This is crucial. Put 1 or 2 strong testimonials from satisfied subscribers on your squeeze page. This can be in any format, but you may find that multimedia (audio or video social proof) is more "believable". To increase that believability, include full names, locations and/or urls; don't use "Bob K, FL" as a testimonial name.


  14. Blog religiously. Blogging is a great way to communicate with your potential customers, and it creates a nice synergy with your email marketing. Be sure to include your newsletter sign-up form on each page of your blog. You can start a free blog at Blogger or Wordpress.


  15. Post on other blogs. Post great comments and information on similar blogs with a link to your squeeze or opt-in page. Also comment on others' blogs through trackbacks. In most cases, your comments will be posted on their blogs with a link back to your site. This is an easy way to generate new traffic and subscribers.
