What is better than to start the new year with discussion about getting your prospects to pay for your affiliate product?
Somehow some people will have the idea that getting the prospects to buy your product is to convince them to buy something they don't need and rush their decision before they change their mind. But my friend, let me tell you. Scam artist rush the prospects to buy their stuffs and you, as a professional affiliate marketer, don't need that. What you need is the ability to show your prospects that your products can help them succeed.
You just need to communicate effectively with your prospects and really listen to what they are saying. When you interact with them sincerely, you will know what your prospects really want. Then you can decide whether your product suits them or not.
If your product can't feed their need, tell them honestly. There is no point squeezing a square block into a round hole. You are only getting your customers upset and when they ask for a refund, you will get yourself upset.
Remember, you will always win when you help others to win. You will better. :-)
Now, no matter what kind of business you are in, you are constantly competing with someone else. In affiliate marketing, you are competing with other affiliate marketers for the same market. How are you going to stand out of the crowd then?
What you can do is to understand your prospects behavior and you can do that by building long term friendships with your customers. Talk to your prospects, ask them what you can do to help solve their problem and when they turn to you for help, do your best to answer them.
Once you understand what motivate your prospects, fulfilling their need will easy and the money will follow.
After you close the sale with your customers, you need to see to that your promise is being fulfilled. Ask them did they receive their product and are they happy with the product after a few days. If they are unsatisfied with the purchase, see what you can do and to solve their problem. If you can't solve the issue, direct your customers to talk to the merchant.
Now, that is what I call value added service and that is what sets you apart with the rest of the affiliate marketers. However, through my experience, this kind of extra work does eat into your time. But when there is a chance I can build relationship with my customers, I will go for it. I just want to know more about them. :-)
So, when you decided to do the same, remember to manage your time well.
Create Your Success,
Wong Michael. :-)

Cookie
Affiliate programs usually will put a cookie in your prospects computer. So, when your prospects click through your affiliate link to the merchant site but leave, and they decide to buy later, you can still earn the commission.
The question is:
"How long can the cookie last?"
Because some cookies only last 24 hours, some last a month and some last even longer.
Personally I think, having a cookie that last a year doesn't help much because not many people are going to come back and buy your product after 11 months. However, cookie that last 24 hours won't help you to earn in affiliate marketing either. This is because the time span is too short and most people take more than a day to think about their purchase. Unless your product is relatively cheap and fast moving, then that is a different story.
What I am trying to say here is that you need to be clear of how long your cookie is going last and are you OK with that.
When you are OK with the period, then go all out and promote your affiliate product. By the way, you can ask the merchant how long the cookie last if you are unclear about that.
Create Your Success,
Wong Michael. :-)

Your 2009 Business Plan
As 2008 is coming to an end, be grateful to what you have achieved in this year. So, have fun during Christmas and celebrate the coming of the new year with all your heart. :-)
After the celebration has ended and the energy subsided, it is time to go back to reality and take a serious look at your affiliate marketing business for 2009. And just like the article you have read, you need a plan to do it. I bet you even read more than 1 articles about how to write your plan. Still, have you look at what you need to do before you write your plan?
If you haven't, let's take a look at what you need to do:
1. When you are writing your affiliate marketing plan, it must be align with your product. It is simply illogic to adopt a marketing plan for car insurance while you are marketing coffee machine (this is an extreme example but you get the idea).
2. Write out on a piece of paper what product you want to sell and see how you can fulfill your customer needs.
3. Ask your prospects whether they are going to buy that product. Ask your prospects what other features they are looking for in your product and how much they are willing to pay for it. Sometime you will find precious ideas to build your product through their input.
4. Before you launch your product, you must let your prospects have a demo of your product. You will want to know how your prospects feel about your product. Listen to their feedbacks and look into what you can do to enhance your product.
Also, by giving a demo to your prospects, you are preparing them to the live version of your product. People are more likely to buy something once they have the feel of the product.
Once you are done with pre-planning, it is time you look at your business plan:
1. How are you going to find your customers? PPC, SEO or article marketing? Since I like to write and share information with you, that is why I choose article marketing and blog. You must align your marketing method with your interest and budget too.
2. How much are you going to charge so that you remain profitable and your customers still see the value in it? For me, I mainly focus on affiliate product. When I am choosing the product, I generally pick the product that I feel is affordable to you and you can benefit from it.
Why? Because I have been through the process of buying expensive stuffs and they didn't work. Please mind my language here, it sucks. So, I learn to offer product that is only valuable to your money.
3. How are you going to convince your prospects to buy? One thing you need to remember is that there will be people who don't buy your things. It is not that you are a bad marketer, just that they have their reasons to keep their money. For instance, they simply can't afford your product.
I bet you been through that and so did I. So, rejoice on the customers you have already converted and learn more new ways to make money online.
4. How are you going to support your customers? How can you do it cost and time effectively? Surely your customers will have question when they bought your product. some even will ask you questions before they buy.
For me, I always set 1-2 hours daily answering emails. I want my customers to get the personal touch from me. It might not sound time effective to you but that is just my dedication to my customers.
5. By the way, you should know that your affiliate marketing success depends on your customer satisfaction. How are you going to keep them happy and be your loyal customers?
Spending time and giving attention to my customers are how I keep my customers happy. And by talking to them, they gave me new ideas to increase my online income. So, why is it you don't want to keep your customers happy?
Speaking of happy, I want to take this chance to wish you merry Christmas and a happy new year. :-)

Marketing Your Product
Do you know people also judge your product quality by price? Let's look at it this way; your prospects are exposed to affiliate marketing guide at $7 and $67 at the same time.
Some prospects are happy that they finally found a guide less than $10. But there are also people who are skeptical about the $7 guide. They might ask what kind of information you are giving them. Is it up to date or are you going to sell them something else afterwards?
So, when you have a good quality product, it should be sold at a decent price. Remember this, cheaper price is just part of your marketing strategies to get your product sold.
Instead you should focus on the uniqueness of your product. My mentor "forced" me to answer these questions before and now I think they will be helpful to you:

- Are you the sole provider of this product?
- Is there any competitors that offer similar products?
- How are your competitors marketing their products?
- What can you provide and your competitors can't?
- How can that help you to stay competitive in the market?
I always look through these questions when I am searching for my affiliate product. These questions also help me to create the bonuses for my affiliate product. Again, the uniqueness of your bonuses will also help to increase the chances your prospects buy from you rather than your competitor.

What Successful Affiliate Marketers Share?
What I believe in successful affiliate marketing business is that it is the same as any offline business. It is run by people. Then what these people have that you lack? Among the many criteria, they:
- Trust their decision
- Never give up
When you believe firmly in your decision, you will do whatever it takes to overcome any obstacles.
Since you already decided to join affiliate marketing, why not put your trust in it? Trust that it can help you to be your own boss; trust that it can help you to spend more time with your love ones and trust that it is the way to your financial freedom.
When you are despair:
- Remember why you join affiliate marketing in the first place.
- Assure yourself that all will turn out fine.
- Realign your marketing approach by asking your mentors, colleagues and customers

Look Forward...
From the day you decided to make money with affiliate marketing and get the system, it was the time you look forward only.
I felt the same as how you feel. As an affiliate marketer, I too started to ask question when I failed to make my desire income. I too asked myself why I didn't listen to the rejection. If I had listened to them, I will have more money in the bank and will be free from worrying for my online business. I will have more sleep and more time to do whatever I like.
Then again, I said to myself, rich affiliate marketers also been through the same process as mine. Guess what? They have faith in themselves, they have faith in their future and they have in affiliate marketing. They only look forward to what they will achieve. That is when I also started to look forward in my online business.
So, pull yourself back from any frustration. Collect your emotion and get yourself together. Look forward again. Your bright future is smiling at you. :-)

Hell's Kitchen...
Have you ever watch Hell's Kitchen before?
When you watch the show, you will know how important consistency is when you are running a kitchen. You just can't cook a perfect wellington now and cook a medium wellington while your customer ordered a well done wellington.
Now, that is the same when you are running your affiliate marketing business. You need to be consistent in whatever you do for your affiliate marketing business.
I know how boring things can be when you repeatedly building your affiliate marketing business and nothing seem to flourish. After that, the more you work for your online business, the stronger the little voice in your head will tell you to quit your new career.
I think that most of you have gone through or going through that stage right? How do you be consistent and shut that little voice then?
So here are some steps you can practice to be consistent in building your affiliate marketing business:
1. Stop reasoning
We tends to give reasons when we didn't do something and the most common reason is to tell that we have no time and we will do it when we have time.
Hey, when you start telling yourself that, it marks the point you are giving up building your online business.
What you need to now is to justify within yourself whether what you say is right. Is it really that you are so occupied with other things or is it your fear of failure kicked in?
Be honest with yourself when you are giving reasons.
2. Refer to goal
I know a lot people never set goals. They just jump into this business and wanting to earn as much money as possible. But that is not the thing we are discussing here. So, let's imagine you started out with a goal.
Whenever you notice that you are starting to be inconsistent, go back to your goal. Why do you want to achieve it in the first place? What is so important about achieving your goal?
If you can, have something to remind you of your goal. It can be the picture of your dream home or a mock check with the money you want to earn. So, whenever you look at it, it will motivate you to continue building your affiliate marketing business.
3. Break down your goal
Earning $120,000 from your affiliate marketing business every year might seems impossible when you are starting out in this industry. You will have a hard time believing yourself and aligning your efforts toward the goal.
Instead of that, break down your goal to earning $10,000 every month online can be more achievable. When things seem more achievable, you will be more motivated to do it.
And from there, develop a daily action plan of what you need to do to earn $10,000 every month with affiliate marketing. If an article a day is going to boost your reputation online, by all means, go do it. If reading a blog post can help you to be consistent in your marketing strategies, do read it.
4. Practice
Although you have broken down your goal into small pieces, it means zip when you just leave them like that. Regardless of how small the things are, make sure that you are consistent in doing it.
When you are building a successful affiliate marketing business, sometimes things can get very hectic. You will go around, doing anything you can, thinking to multitask to get your things done.
Guess what? You are only busying yourself and getting things half done.
Take this. When things are getting hectic, take a deep breath and slow down. Prioritize your tasks and concentrate on one thing at a time. For things that you can't attend to them now, write them down and follow up later.
Practice this over and over again and you will get better at what you do.
"Practice makes perfect." Right?

Do You Want To Be Rich?
If you want to be rich, proper investment is more important than saving.
Looking at the current economy situation and further devalue of money in the future, you can have a rough idea that it will take you a lot of time to be rich by saving your money.
So, it is wise that you look into some investments to secure your financial future.
What can you invest then?
Of course you can invest into the share market, mutual funds, real estates and many more. If you are not familiar with any of these investments, you can hire a professional or learn to be a professional yourself.
Personally, I would recommend you to do both because being totally dependent on someone else is never a good thing especially we are talking about your hard earned money. If you have some knowledge in what you are investing into, at least you can discuss with the professionals about how to maximize your profit.
Now, learning is another form of investment.
With this kind of investment, you empower yourself with certain knowledge and skills that no one can ever take away. And I highly recommend that.
Let's think about this, you are a CEO for a company. Unfortunately, you are sick and are force to take rest for a long period. Now, everyone knows that it is not your fault but due to the profitability of the company, you have to be replaced. So, the questions are, will your company wants you back and how long can you survive with your savings?
Things can be different if you have other skills and knowledge. You can give seminars and share your experience as a CEO if you have learnt effective public speaking. You can even write a book about the life of a retrenched CEO if you have learnt to write effectively.
Although those sounded like crap but it highlights how fragile your future can be if you have no other mode of investments.
So, either you invest in shares or into yourself, you need to do something to secure your financial future.
The hard fact is that not much people will help you if you have no income...

How To Have A Successful Internet Marketing Business
Unlike any offline career, you are your own boss in internet marketing. There will be no boss to tell you what to do. You need to motivate yourself to get things done if you want a successful internet marketing business.
That is why you need a realistic plan to help you run your online business. If your plan is unrealistic, you will be demoralized if you can't make your plan happen. That can be very demotivating till the point that you want to give up your chance to build a successful internet marketing business.
What is unrealistic plan then?
Earning $20,000 in the next 3 days after you started your internet marketing business is unrealistic.
Do know that every business needs time to grow. You won't see the result immediately.
However, you an always shorten that waiting period and start to be your own boss by choosing the business model that provides all the training and support to you. A well prepared business model is going to shorten your learning curve and get you to start making online ASAP.
The mentor in the system is going to guide you on the right path to build a successful internet marketing business. The problem with a lot of internet marketer failing the business is because they have no one to turn to when they have question. However, with the professional mentors by your side, they are going to answer your question whenever you have any issue. This will save you a lot of frustration when you are trying to be your own boss.
After you have adopted the right system to build your online business, you need to be committed to your new career. You will need to learn all the training provided and practice them online.
Do remember one thing is that your mentor is not your boss. He will not push you to do anything. He will not ask how your progress is and he will certainly not check on you.
It is totally up to your initiative to do all you can to build a successful internet marketing business.

Do remember one thing is that your mentor is not your boss. He will not push you to do anything. He will not ask how your progress is and he will certainly not check on you.
It is totally up to your initiative to do all you can to build a successful internet marketing business.
Create Your Success,

10 Guidelines To Increase Your Sales Letter Response
Is your sales letter doing what it's supposed to? Are you getting enough conversion from your sales letter? When you want better response from your sales letter, look at the following guidelines:
1. Good headline
The headline is the first thing your prospects will see when they click to your sales letter. It must provide a reason for them to read on. You need to spark your prospects' curiosity by including words like "discover", or "how to".
2. Stories
People are always attracted by stories. So, give them a scenario when you are starting your sales letter. When you are promoting a coffee business you can start with:
"People love coffee. The taste of the hot coffee just charges you up for the day." Then, you should elaborate why your prospects should get your coffee beans instead of the commercial coffee powder.
3. Be personal
You must make your sales letter as though you are speaking directly to the prospects. So, it is important your use "you" in your sales letter. People like attention and when you put your prospects as priority, they will feel special. When the feeling is right, they will start to do business with you.
4. Be emotional
Like what read just now, "when the feeling is right, they will start to do business with you." When you want to increase your sales letter, it is wise that you appeal to your prospects' emotion. Highlight how your customers can satisfy their need when they use your product.
5. Be credible
Wise internet marketers only make honest claims about their product. Your prospects can sense your credibility from your sales letter. When they feel something is wrong, they will click away and never return again.
6. Be friendly
Before you publish your sales letter, you must have someone else to read through it or you can read it out loud yourself. This is to make sure you make sense in your sales letter and it is friendly and sincere. Your prospects tend to reject your sales letter when you are being too formal.
7. Now
Your sales letter should be able to get your prospects to act now. Most people don't respond to your sales letter because you didn't tell them to. Tell them to download your product when you want them to buy your ebook. Tell them to fill in their name and email address when you want your prospects to subscribe to your list.
Still, you need to be gentle with your tone while you are doing that. Your prospects dislike bossy words.
8. Testimonials
Your prospects are more convince when they know there are people who benefited from your product. It gives the peace of mind that they are investing their hard earned money into something valuable.
9. Signature
Studies have shown that signing your sales letter in blue will increase your sales letter response.
So, get the right signature and do it right.
10. Extra
Most of your prospects are in a hurry and they just want to know how your product can benefit them. That is why most prospects like to scan sales letter before they read it thoroughly.
Your prospects will usually read the headline first and goes to the bottom to find out who you are. So, it is wise that you put a P.S. after your signature. P.S. like "the free report has helped numerous people to make money with affiliate marketing" is going to tease your prospects to read more.

Unique Selling Proposition (USP)...
When you are in marketing, you hear a lot about creating your unique selling proposition (USP). It doesn't matter the size of your USP, you need to find it, stress on it, highlight it, amplify it and your prospects will buy from you.
But throughout the years, I found that stressing on your USP is only half true of the buying process. The more important question is:
How your prospects view your USP.
Knowing your USP is merely the first step.
Your USP maybe the cheapest in the market but it doesn't make sense to your prospects when they are looking for the highest quality product and service. Likewise, your USP can be the highest quality product and deserve premium price but your prospects will not buy your stuff when they are looking for something affordable and something good enough.
So, it is very important that you align your USP with your prospects needs. There will be no agreement when both of you are pulling and pushing each other.
Sometime, when you are aligning your USP with your prospects, you will find that you will have to give up some prospects. That is OK. You just retreat from the process politely and thank your prospects for the opportunity. Always leave a good impression to your prospects, you never know when they will need you again.
It might sound like this has nothing to do with internet marketing because you can't see your prospects. Actually, many are practicing this and you might not be aware of it.
Can you recall the most recent sales letter you read? Do you remember the bullet points? That is how the merchants align their USP with your needs. When you are selling online, you need to anticipate your prospects questions. Since you can't talk to them face to face, you need to address as many doubts as possible in your sales letter.
Some prospects might email you, asking why they should invest in your product. That is the best time to find out their needs and align your USP with them. Take hold of the chance and do your best to convince them.

I Want To Start My Own Business
"I want to start my own business." You might have thought of that before. Whether you want to start an offline or online business, there are criteria which I think you need to consider:
Capital
As much as you want to avoid it, you need to invest money to make money.
Of course you can afford a grand launching if you have lots of money to invest.
But what if you are just an ordinary person like me? Are we doomed to work for others for the rest of our life?
Of course not.
If you don't have much capital, you can start off with a smaller business model. You can expand your business as more profits are coming in. This will be difficult task. But if you really want to be your own boss, if you really want to take control over your life, you will do it.
Systematic
You can't just think that "I want to start my own business!" and money will come to you.
You need a system to your business.
This is simply because a system provides a guide of what you need to do next and you will know what you will get from every step you have taken. So, if anything went wrong, you will know where to correct it.
Being systematic also helps you to save time and money.
When you identify the problematic step, you can drill in immediately for solution. People often scramble for solution if they don't know what went wrong. But with a system, you save time looking for an answer and you won't be spending unnecessarily for irrelevant solutions.
Risk taking
No matter you are running an offline or online business, there will be risk. There is no guarantee that you will make any profit or getting your capital back.
Let's look at it this way, if you don't dare to take the risk, will you be able to be your own boss?
That is why you need to understand your business to minimize your risk.
Teamwork
Just look at any successful business in the world. Does the business owner do all the things by himself?
If you want to have a successful business, you need to learn delegate responsibilities to someone else. If you are running an online business, you should consider outsource some of your works.
I am afraid that you might be too tired to enjoy the profit from your business if you do all the things by yourself.
Persistence
When you started your business, you might not get your return as soon as you think. Even you make some money, the result might not be as lucrative as you have imagined. Often, that is when most people give up their business.
But before you throw in the towel, I urge you to think about this "Rome was not built in one day" and that goes the same to your business.
Once you have decided to start your own business, you should start to encrypt persistency into your DNA too.
When you are running your own business, there will be more challenges running into you. If you are not persistence in pursuing your dream, what you have done so far will be flush into the drain.
Learn from mistakes
There is a high tendency that you will make mistakes in your business.
It can be a single word in your message that ruins your business. You might not like one of the words in this post and cause you to not find out more about the ad at the side.
It can be this paragraph that causes you to not believe in me.
There are lots of chances for you to make mistakes in your business. But no matter what it is and how heavy it is, you must be prepare to learn from the mistakes.

Your Biggest Fear In Affiliate Marketing...
If I am right, your biggest fear in affiliate marketing is same as mine when I started the business,
==> What if I fail in affiliate marketing? Then all my money will be gone.
Am I right?
Before we go further, you need to take a look at the following video...
If you don't know who Terry Fox is, let me give you a brief introduction about him. Terry Fox was a Canadian with bone cancer who ran 3,339 miles (around 23.3 miles per day or 5,373km) in 143 days with one prosthetic leg to raise money for cancer research. He is considered one of Canada greatest heroes and his run has impacted a lot of people.
In the video, you can see him running in day and rain. Can you imagine the pain to run with a prosthetic leg and bone cancer? Can you imagine celebrating your last birthday in a run?
Possibly Terry never thought of what if he fail to run? Maybe he also never thought of he will break another leg or worsen his bone cancer during the run. He only focuses on what he wants which is to raise money for cancer research.
So, from now on, focus on what you want for your affiliate marketing business. If you want to earn an extra $2000 from your affiliate marketing business, focus on that. If you want to be financially free with affiliate marketing, focus on that.
When you are afraid that you will lose your money with affiliate marketing, it means that you are not in control of your finance. So, this is your time to learn to manage your finance.
With all the money you have every month, after deducting the necessary expenses, how much you still remain to invest in your affiliate marketing business? Invest that money into something you must have to build your affiliate marketing business.
It can be an affiliate marketing guide, mentor, website or training program. How you invest your money depends on what you need and how much you can invest.
Still, the most important thing is when you are losing faith in your affiliate marketing business, come back here and watch Terry Fox again. You will belief you can achieve what you want as long as you focus on it.

Long Tail...
Are you targeting common keywords or long tail keywords for your affiliate marketing business?
Many internet marketers go into internet marketing with keywords or key phrases that are commonly used by other internet marketers. It is normal to think that your prospects will look for your product with common keywords. Your competitors think the same.
When that happens, your website will rank low on the SERP (search engine result page) because you are sharing the same keywords with don't know how many other websites.
That is why you should start looking into long tail keywords. These keywords are cluster of words that is low competition and targeted.
Let's take the example of "affiliate marketing". By the time this post was written, "affiliate marketing" has 802 searches a day and 1,190,000 websites competing for a top 10 ranking on Google SERP. That is a lot of competitors if you are just starting in the business.
Then, when you try "make money with affiliate marketing", there are only 4 searches a day and 5270 websites competing for the top 10 Google ranking.
Now, as a wise affiliate marketer, which keyword will you choose to use? Of course is the long tail keyword. Besides, when you look at the 2 keywords, you can see that the long tail keyword also rules out a lot of untargeted traffic. People might be just looking for information about affiliate marketing instead of the opportunity to make money with it.
Some might think that it is difficult cranking out long tail keywords. You can actually leverage on the free keyword research tool online like Free Wordtracker Online Tool. Start your search with common keywords and as you go down the search result, you will see some interesting long tail keywords.
After that, Google the long tail keywords to look for the number of competing websites. You will eventually find the proper keywords to earn your affiliate marketing income.
Still, some of you might not have the time to do all these researching. So, you can hire the specialist to do it for you. These experts will figure out which long tail keywords best suit your affiliate marketing business and how you can outsmart your competitors.

Tips To Get Targeted Traffic To Your Website...
For starter, what is targeted traffic?
It is simply about the visitors who visit you are interested in your offer. They actually want to buy your stuffs.
My favorite way to get targeted traffic is forum posting. Forum by itself is already a targeted platform where like minded people group together to discuss various issues about the niche.
When you answer members' questions, you are branding yourself as someone knowledgeable in the topic. When your readers think your reply is helpful, they will want to know more about you and how you can help. That is the time they will click on your signature link and become your targeted traffic.
And if your offer really hit with what they need, they will get your product without second thought.
The second way you can get targeted traffic is by article marketing. You share valuable information in your articles with your readers and to help you draw more traffic through articles, you should focus on articles on "how to" and "tips" about your niche. When your readers enjoy your articles, they will click your resource box link and visit you.
The third way to get your targeted traffic is through your newsletters or ezines. People subscribe to your newsletters or ezines because they value your information. You can highlight how your subscribers can benefit from your offer and direct them to your website.
However, you must always remember that the main purpose of your newsletters or ezines is to build relationship and share information with your subscribers. Never ever exploit them by blasting them with marketing emails.
When you picture yourself as a subscriber, you also will lose confident about the person who has no better interest than your money.
One thing you need to know about newsletters and ezines is that your list members will get accustom to your offer. When you show them your website link over and over again, they will know what you are offering. They will read your message, practice your tips but they just don't click on your link anymore.
That is why you must remember the "WIIFT - What's In It For Them". You need to ignite their interest with different messages about your offer. Make your list members understand that your product can help them and they will visit you.
You can give away ebooks too. Those who really read your ebook and visit you through the link in the ebook are the one who are interested to know more about the topic. You stand a higher chance to convert them to customer as they already belief your product can help them.

Something To Share...
Branding is very important to whatever business you are in. it is not just about building an image about your product, it also involve building image about you.
I read this in the newspaper and think this can really help in your affiliate marketing success.
I suppose that you are good with branding your product. So, the example I show you will be about branding yourself.
1. Brand vision
What is your ultimate goal in affiliate marketing? Are you clear about it? Do you want to be the world highest earning affiliate marketer?
2. Brand mission
What is your mission in the market? What can you do for your prospects and customers? Do you want to be their leader, mentor and friend?
3. Brand experience
What can your customers experience when they do business with you? Safety, satisfaction or strong support?
Stroke on your customers emotion and they will stroke you back.
4. Brand relationship
Will you buy from a stranger or someone you know & trust?
You must build long term relationship with your customers. It is always easier to sell to satisfied customers than new one. Who knows, your customers might even be your speak person. Remember, word of mouth is a very powerful advertising tool.
5. Brand positioning
Where do you stand in your customers' mind? Do you have something unique and different?
Ever heard of "unique selling proposition (USP)"? You are the best USP in the whole wide world. Because there is only one YOU, one unique you in this world.
Sell yourself. Drum that into your customers' mind.
6. Brand character
Are you just a robot that creates messages from your processor?
Let your customers know who you are. Share your passion and enthusiasm through text, audio or video.
7. Brand execution
What are you going to do to build your image? Are you going to lay there and wait for money to fall to you?
Your actions represent who you are. If you do nothing, no one will know who you are. Even you are the best person in the world who only cares for others welfare, if you don't take action and tell the world, you will still be the small potato as you are.
I know building a brand is not easy and that is why you should start today. Remember these few tips and practice them. Once you do this long enough, people will know you are a genuine person.

What can your customers experience when they do business with you? Safety, satisfaction or strong support?
Stroke on your customers emotion and they will stroke you back.
4. Brand relationship
Will you buy from a stranger or someone you know & trust?
You must build long term relationship with your customers. It is always easier to sell to satisfied customers than new one. Who knows, your customers might even be your speak person. Remember, word of mouth is a very powerful advertising tool.
5. Brand positioning
Where do you stand in your customers' mind? Do you have something unique and different?
Ever heard of "unique selling proposition (USP)"? You are the best USP in the whole wide world. Because there is only one YOU, one unique you in this world.
Sell yourself. Drum that into your customers' mind.
6. Brand character
Are you just a robot that creates messages from your processor?
Let your customers know who you are. Share your passion and enthusiasm through text, audio or video.
7. Brand execution
What are you going to do to build your image? Are you going to lay there and wait for money to fall to you?
Your actions represent who you are. If you do nothing, no one will know who you are. Even you are the best person in the world who only cares for others welfare, if you don't take action and tell the world, you will still be the small potato as you are.
I know building a brand is not easy and that is why you should start today. Remember these few tips and practice them. Once you do this long enough, people will know you are a genuine person.

Do You Want To Be Rich?
If you want to be rich, proper investment is more important than saving.
Looking at the current economy situation and further devalue of money in the future, you can have a rough idea that it will take you a lot of time to be rich by saving your money.
So, it is wise that you look into some investments to secure your financial future.
What can you invest then?
Of course you can invest into the share market, mutual funds, real estates and many more. If you are not familiar with any of these investments, you can hire a professional or learn to be a professional yourself.
Personally, I would recommend you to do both because being totally dependent on someone else is never a good thing especially we are talking about your hard earned money. If you have some knowledge in what you are investing into, at least you can discuss with the professionals about how to maximize your profit.
Now, learning is another form of investment.
With this kind of investment, you empower yourself with certain knowledge and skills that no one can ever take away. And I highly recommend that.
Let's think about this, you are a CEO for a company. Unfortunately, you are sick and are force to take rest for a long period. Now, everyone knows that it is not your fault but due to the profitability of the company, you have to be replaced. So, the questions are, will your company wants you back and how long can you survive with your savings?
Things can be different if you have other skills and knowledge. You can give seminars and share your experience as a CEO if you have learnt effective public speaking. You can even write a book about the life of a retrenched CEO if you have learnt to write effectively.
Although those sounded like crap but it highlights how fragile your future can be if you have no other mode of investments.
So, either you invest in shares or into yourself, you need to do something to secure your financial future.
The hard fact is that not much people will help you if you have no income...

Make Your Move Today...
This post has nothing to do with internet or affiliate marketing, it is just something from my friend and to share with all of you.
1. Seize the opportunity
You should know that good things hardly stay long. Once they are gone they are gone. If you think this is a once in a lifetime chance, you must grab it immediately.
2. Keep in contact with your friends
Friends don't come with a snap of finger. You put in effort and build the friendship. Don't you think is a waste that you throw away something so precious? Take the initiative and call your friends now.
3. Treasure the relationship
We live in a society and interact with people everyday. How you interact with others can either strengthen or break the relationship. Unless you are trying to get something from the relationship, you should be genuine when dealing with others.
4. Trust in yourself
Books, seminars, coaching programs or consultants only pave the way to self-confidence. None of them can make you believe in yourself unless you truly believe in yourself. Start your day with positive affirmation and build the trust in yourself. You will be to tackle almost anything if you have the strong faith in yourself.
5. Be humble
People just want to help when they offer their advice. Sometime it might sound like deafening clang and sometime it might sound like music to your ear. But no matter how it sounds, you should accept their advice and analyze whether their comments are useful or not.
6. Life can be vulnerable
Many thought of exercising more and eating more healthily when they are sick. By the time you thought of that, you might be lying on the sick bed. Start your exercising and eating plan today.
7. Try to be helpful
If you have read any superhero comics, you will notice that the superhero will come to you when you call for it. We are not superhero still we can attend to others whenever we can.
8. Be honest
You and I make mistakes and so do others. The most important thing is that you are able to admit your mistakes before you start to rectify them. Hiding your mistake is destructive enough. It is even worse if you blame your mistake to others.
9. Love life
Life is full of beautiful things. The soft sunshine in the morning, the gentle wind on the beach, the magnificent view of the mountains and there are a lot more things to be appreciated. Love your life as you love yourself and enjoy it to the fullest.
I hope you know what you should do after you read the post. :-)

What Actually Affect Your Affiliate Marketing Income
As you understand, your online income is always changing and this is most likely because of:
1. Change of the trading environment - Changes in law, politics, global or local economy and other things that happen outside affiliate marketing might affect your earning potential.
2. Innovation - People are interested about new things. Just highlight "New" for your products and people will want to look at it. Imagine that your new software or tool is the first in the market and it fits the market needs. I bet you will earn so much that you never imagine before.
3. Bargaining power - How about the merchant agree to your proposal and give you a 20% discount on his PLR products. You can then sell it for a full price, earning yourself more money or you can sell it at lower price, benefiting more visitors.
4. Change of customer needs and behavior - Customer behavior and needs changes constantly. If you took the wrong boat, you might need to kiss your affiliate marketing income goodbye.
Now, what else do you think can affect your affiliate marketing income? Join me in this discussion by leaving your valuable comments here. :-)

Be Your Own Boss – 6 C's To Your Own Online Business
Are you starting your own online business? Then these tips are specially written for you.
Courage
Congratulations on your bravery to earn your income online. Many entrepreneurs (Yes. You are consider an entrepreneur) are afraid to venture into the internet due to their unfamiliarity of the platform.
The fact is, internet can be a safe place to build your business only if you look before you leap. There are a lot of sources where you can check the reputation of the person you are doing business with.
Confidence
Like an offline business, you will face numerous challenges in the business. It is not uncommon that you will only start to make money online after a year or more.
During that period, you will have doubts and thoughts to give up the business. But are you willing to go back and work for others and throw away your chance to finally have control over your life?
It is during the challenging moments that you need to be confident about your choice. Be firm about what you have chosen.
Counter
I know how pressuring it is when there is not a single cent going into your account. I have been there and I still remember how it felt.
Building your business online is not just about charging ahead. Sometime, you need to calm down and think "Is there any other ways to profit online?"
You can hold building your online business for a few days and go enjoy something that you have long missed. A full eight hours of sleep maybe. :-)
You will get new inspiration during that time.
Communication
This is very important to your online business because your customers can't see you face to face except if you post a video introduction of yourself on your website. Still, there will be customers who won't trust you entirely.
You need to find a way to get the message: "I am a trustworthy person" through. So, sharing tips through your blog and articles is one of the best ways to communicate effectively with your customers.
Another thing about communication is that you don't communicate externally only. You need to communicate internally too. You need to talk to yourself. Talk to yourself positively and be affirmative.
Continuity
If your blog is helping you to make money online, continue to post on it regularly. If your articles are bringing more business opportunities for you, continue to submit your articles to article directories. Continue to do the things that are earning you money online.
Next, continue to learn about the internet marketing business, the internet marketing industry will continue to evolve. So, why shouldn't you? You will make more money online if you are constantly updating your skills.
Care
Sometime you might get questions that don't concern you. It is totally out of your business. However, this is the time you shine.
Let your customers know that you care for them that you are willing to go the extra miles to help solve their problem.
For example, your customers might ask you about the reputation about a joint venture partner who is out of your niche.
It is indeed none of your business but you can look at it this way, your customers to some extend thinks that you are dependable and that is why he asks you the question and not someone else. It should signify some relationship between both of you.
It doesn't matter that the information you provided helped him just a little bit. He will still be grateful to you because you tried your best. Of course, you must not try to cheat your customers by simply pointing to something irrelevant.

Why You Still Can't Make Money Online...
If you are struggling to pull money from affiliate marketing, check if you are making the following mistakes:
1. Not building your own list
You probably know that the money is in the list. If no list, then no money.
Wouldn't it be amazing if you can build your own list for FREE?
Just CLICK HERE and build your own responsive list TODAY.
2. Thought your prospects will buy straight away
Do you remember the time you bought your own cell phone? Did you just buy the phone the sales person showed you?
Buying is a back and forth process. Your prospects experience the same process as you. Most prospects don't buy on the first visit.
Build your own squeeze page to capture their details and you can promote the product to them later.
3. Not building your own squeeze page
Since your prospects don't buy on the first visit, are you still promoting the merchant's sales page to your prospects? You need to know 2 important reasons why your affiliate marketing campaign fail miserably if you don't promote your own squeeze page.

Since your prospects don't buy on the first visit, are you still promoting the merchant's sales page to your prospects? You need to know 2 important reasons why your affiliate marketing campaign fail miserably if you don't promote your own squeeze page.
- Again and again, most of your prospects don't buy the first time. If you don't secure their contact, they are gone, forever.
- If the merchant offer some sort of freebies and capture your prospects details and make the sales later, can you imagine the money you are giving to the merchant? This totally opposes the true meaning of affiliate marketing. (sorry, merchants. I just need to share with other affiliate marketers about the importance of squeeze page.)
4. Not building relationship
Since you have your list, you must build relationship with your list members. Let's use the cell phone scenario again.
Did you remember the situation between you and the sales person who sold you the phone? Did the sales person manage to establish a common ground between you and him? Did you feel like his words are trustworthy?
Building a common ground helps you to build relationship with your prospects. Will you buy from a person who has the same interest as you? Or will you buy from a person who doesn't bother to have a relationship with you?
Since you read all the tips, I bet you know what to do. If you still have problem earning money online, email me at buddingpro80@gmail.com or visit here.

Internet Marketing – Run It Part Time or Full Time
Sometime I do get question like this. So, let's discuss about it today.
What do you think? Should you quit your job and jump straight into internet marketing? Or should you test the water and run your internet marketing business part time?
My personal advice is that if you have the saving to sustain your lifestyle (and support your internet marketing cost) for at least a year then you can quit your job and jump straight into the water. Let's say you are earning $1000 a month, you should have at least $12,000 in your savings before you can hand in your resignation letter.
Of course, you may be able to achieve financial freedom in less than a year but on the safe side, that is what you need to know before committing to your internet marketing business.
But if you are like some internet marketers who started the business with limited budget (just like me), you should keep your job and build your online business whenever you can. This can be tiring as juggling between 2 careers is certainly not easy.
If you are running your online business part time, you must have a clear schedule. You must know when to focus on your internet marketing business and when to start your day job. Never mix them together. Not just that you will lose focus in both careers, things can turn ugly when your boss found that you are doing personal stuff during his time.
It might be true that you will have less time to build your business compare to those who run their business full time. For me, it is not about how long you work. It is about the quality of your work.
If you are not focus and devoted to build your internet marketing business, you can still fail even you have 24 hours at your hand. But if you can focus your attention and work for your online business without distraction, you will have a successful internet marketing business very soon.
I hope that answer your question whether to start your internet marketing business part time or full time. :-)

How To Be Your Own Boss...
If you are working for someone else now, sometime in your life you must have thought to start your own business. But before you start to be a boss online or offline, you need to know what it needs to be your own boss.
Core motivation
Let's think about this, "What do you want in life and why?"
Is an annual income of $84000 and the title of middle level manager not financial security to you? If not, what is your definition of financial security and why?
To me, I want to secure my children education funds (although I have no children yet). Education fund is quite heavy these days. If you want to send your children oversea for more exposure and education like me, it will cost even more if I don't start to build the business today, I might regret later.
Of course, I also want to spend more time with my family. I have seen some parents with high pose in the company but work so late that they have no time with their children. I want to grow up with them. :-)
Once you have determined your core motivation to be your own boss, not even the strongest challenge will stop you from achieving your goal.
Mode of business
As technology is maturing, you are no longer bound to be an offline boss. There are a lot of people who are earning their income online.
Both mode of have their pros and cons. You must first find out your interest before you start your business. There is no point to build an online business when you love to interact with people face to face.
Plan
No business is going to excel without proper planning. This is because a proper plan will help you to focus on your business. You can hire professionals help if you don't know how to plan your business.
Here are some tips to a good business plan:

Navigating Through Tough Times...
No matter what profession you are in, time is certainly tough for us now. People are spending less, the direction of interest rate is uncertain and some are screaming the economy is collapsing.
Hopefully these tips can help you to navigate through this tough period
Financial future
Not just that you are uncertain about your future, your boss will also pressured by his boss. You need to be more effective in your job or help to reduce the company's cost.
If you are afraid that you might lose your job, you should start to think about what you can do in your free time. Can you get some freelance job at your free time?
Search online for freelance job offer. But before you enroll into any of them, check their reputation and remember, no matter what reason, never pay for any fees. They are the one who should be paying you. Not the other way round.
Have you look into the internet? Many have started their business online and are living a financial free lifestyle.
House hold expenses
After saving the company's expenses, you should take a look at your house hold expenses. Is it possible to have more dinner at home or can you bring the family to a local tourist spot instead of oversea?
I know it might be embarrassing to share the financial issue with your kids but now is also a good time to teach your children about financial management. Pretending everything is ok is going to burden you more.
Saving
You can then channel what you have saved to the bank or new investments.
Most of us spend more than we need and I am one of them.
Many actually don't have an emergency fund and now is there is no better time than now to start one yourself. There is no guarantee what will happen in the next 6 months.
Surely you don't want to cut your children education fund for spending. Right?
Insurance
Is your insurance policy still benefiting you? If it is, keep it as it is.
If you have extra money, you should look for chances to some new investments.
I know that the AIG case might shock you and you might think twice about investing in insurance. But it is an exceptional case.
Hope that help to clear some of your frustration. :-)

Make Affiliate Marketing As Your Multiple Stream Of Income...
If you have been to any financial management seminar, one of the things you learn is to NOT put all your eggs into one basket. That goes the same to your affiliate marketing business and through this post, you will find that making affiliate marketing as your multiple streams of income is so easy that it seems like common sense.
Different affiliate programs come in different forms and sizes ranging from digital download to physical products and different percentage of commission.
So, the first way to make money with affiliate marketing is to promote various products and services from different merchants but within the similar niche. Let's say you are promoting an ebook (digital download) about how to take care of your cat. It is wise to be an affiliate for cat food or cat toys (physical products). After that, you can also join the cat grooming (service) affiliate program. Now, if you look at that, you can earn 3 times from the same customer.
What if you can expand further than this? What if you can offer cat training course? The more you expand your online business, the more you will earn. Making a multiple streams of income with affiliate marketing doesn't get any straight forward than this.
If you prefer to promote a single kind of product, be it digital or physical, you can still earn a good living with affiliate marketing. Just join several affiliate programs within the same niche. That means you become an affiliate for 3 ebooks about how to take care of your cat. You then open your prospects to choose from a range of product and services. This is a great affiliate marketing strategy because you don't limit your prospects and you have more business opportunity and more income source.
If you are serious to be successful in affiliate marketing, you must never limit yourself. Is there any easy or better way to take care of your cat? Is there any new nutritional formula to keep your cat healthy? Is there any way to prolong your cat’s life so that you can have more time with her?
Always expand your horizon for your affiliate marketing business. Try to look for interactive and innovative ways to grow your affiliate marketing business. You can charge higher price for something you have exclusive of.

Try These Free Ways To Increase Traffic To Your Website
I know getting traffic to your website is not easy and things can be more complicated if you need to pay for the traffic. Maybe when you apply all these free ways, they can increase your traffic to your website:
1. My favorite way of increasing traffic is article marketing. I can hire a ghostwriter to do it for me but since I like to write, I would rather do it myself. So, all the blog posts and article you read are written by me personally. :-)
It might be difficult when you start writing your own articles but it will get easier the more you do it and I can guarantee you that.
After you have your article, submit it to the article directories like www.ezinearticles.com.
2. Create a Squidoo lense and make your content related to your niche. This is similar to article marketing where you post quality information with related keywords.
3. Like what you are reading now, create a blog about your niche and setting up a blog can be free.
Again, just like article marketing, you need to put in specific keywords or phrases to increase traffic to your web site.
Another thing about blog is that you need to post regularly because search engine spiders like constantly updated site. If you constantly update your blog and the posts are keywords targeted, it is easier for your blog to rank high when your prospects search something you are posting in you blog.
4. Another free way to increase traffic to your web site is to comment on related high traffic blogs. Most blog owners will allow you to insert your web site address.
A few things to remember when you comment on others' blog post is to be honest and sincere. Tell the owner what you think about the post instead of agreeing with the owner for the sake of getting traffic.
Never attack other blog owner. Even you disagree with the post, the easiest thing you can do is to leave the blog.
The last thing is to never advertise in the comment box simply because it is a comment box. The blog owner and other readers will think that you are desperate to get business and most people dislike that.
5. Did you build your own list?
You can ask other internet marketer to joint venture with you.
6. Increasing traffic to your web site should be fun too. You can also join forums about your niche. Post reply to other members' question, start your own thread and build relationship with other members.
A very important thing you must do before posting to the forum is to understand its rules and regulations because most forums don't allow you to advertise in them. You might be ban from the forum if you do that.
Only promote your web site in your signature link. Look at how other veteran forum members craft their signature and you can model over that.
I hope that these 6 tips are enough to increase traffic to your web site. :-)

Are You Having Your Hard Time Yet?
Despite of what some are saying, the economy is turning down now. Economists are saying that the economy is not going to revive very soon.
Then are you doing anything to secure your financial future?
If you never thought of getting a secondary income, you should start now. You will never know when your boss is going to give you "the letter". It is not that you did something wrong in your job. Just that because of the instability of the economy status, he has to let you go. If things really get worst, you might see more retrenchment later.
Now, there are a lot of things you can do to increase your income. Be it online or offline. You can be a professional in unit trust or an internet marketer. But no matter what second career you choose, you got to start now and stick to it.
Every career has its own pros and cons. It is up to you to maximize your profit and overcome the obstacles you face. Still, if you are interested to make money online, you need to get this into your arsenal:

Seriously, please do something so that you will be from the pain of digging for it. You don't need to be reminded of how painful it can be...

Affiliate Marketing Mistakes You Need To Avoid...
As the recession is getting more of a burden to a lot of people, more and more people are turning online to look for their income. However, you need to be careful when you are looking for opportunity online.
It is true that affiliate marketing can help you to make a lot of money online. But if you are careless, you are helping scammers to make more money for their own. You on the other hand will be wondering why online venture fail.
So, if you are serious to make money with affiliate marketing, you need to avoid the mistakes below:
1. Be neutral – many will tell you that you can make money online really fast and you can even cash in 5 figures income with just a few hours work. Some of them even show you their big house and fast car to convince you.
What they said might be true but most of them left out a very important detail. They DON'T earn their big house, fast car and 5 figures income overnight. They work hard for it and they might fail numerous times before they are earning the income today.
If you want to make money with affiliate marketing, don't get too excited with what other marketers are showing you. Be neutral and read their offer for a few times. Make sure that you understand thoroughly what you are getting yourself into.
2. Work – if anyone told you that you don't need to work to make money in affiliate marketing, how true do you think that can be?
If you have been working before, you know that you can only make money by putting in your sweat and effort. With affiliate marketing, you can earn money with ease but not without work.
3. Research – there is no better way to find out the legitimacy of the affiliate program by doing your own research. You can Google your affiliate program with the word "scam" to know how reliable the program is.
Please don't skip this part because it is essential for you to achieve your affiliate marketing success.
4. No upfront – one of the privileges of making money in affiliate marketing is that you don't need to pay anything to join the affiliate marketing programs.
If anyone asks you to pay for the joining fee, training course, marketing materials or anything else, you need to avoid them at all cost. Most of the time you will never see any materials after you pay the money and even if you get the package, it might be a low quality package.
5. Forums – sometime what you can do is so limited. Your own research might not show the entire truth about the affiliate program. That is why you need to join a few affiliate marketing or work from home forums and the members to comment on the program.
You will also save a lot of time running around looking for answers.

I Need Help...
It is depressing that all the things I did to grow my affiliate marketing business has hit rock bottom. Nothing seems to be happening.
My click through rate is so low that it is a pain to think about it. The opt-in rate for my squeeze page is even worst. There has been zero opt-in for 2 months!
Have you experience the similar thing?
What did you do when you fail to grow your affiliate marketing business?
Panic?
Running around asking for solution?
Or you just apply anything that you think is workable?
Sometime the more you want something to happen, the more it goes against your wish. So, it is better you put down all your work on hand and keeps your mind free.
Only start your work again when you are ready. Surely you don't want to start something when your mind is in total mess.
Hoe that help to clear some of your frustration. :-)

6 Characteristics Of A Rich Person
Being rich is not about working your bud off for your job. If you want to be rich, you need to have some characteristics to it and below are some of them:
1. Desire
If you want to be rich, you need to have a strong desire to it. You can only satisfy your other desires like staying in a mansion or drive a Ferrari 360 spider by having lots of money. The most powerful motivator to make more money is to fulfill your desires.
2. Always Want More
Someone who wanted to be rich is certainly not complacent wit his current situation. If you are satisfy with a 9-5 job, stuck in the traffic while travelling to work and work in a cubicle, then you obviously miss the part to be a rich person. You must build the habit to want more if you want to be rich.
3. Too Analytical
Some people with higher education are too analytical to build their business. What is the odd of me being rich? What if the market is too saturated? Higher education people tend think in the box and lack the courage to take the first step. Sometimes you need to just go do it and adjust your strategies along the way.
4. Interaction
Have a look at the rich people in the world. Most of them have strong networks. It is difficult to be rich if you are alone. Let's take internet marketing as an example, the better you know your prospects, the better you can sell to them. If you have friends all around the world, you will surely find the easiest and most suitable way to make you rich.
5. Curiosity
Curiosity DOESN'T always kill the cat. Sometime in order to be rich, you need to take rick and venture into the unknown. Look into what you are missing in your life and do other people share the same problem as you? Can you create a product like "satisfy your curiosity in 17 minutes"? Let your curiosity guides your creativity.
6. Fear of Poverty
Some people become rich because they had enough with being poor. In my opinion, they have the strongest will power to be rich. They will do whatever they can to make sure they make the money they want. If you really want to be rich and live a financially free, you must have the initiative, motivation and the complete package to build your wealth.

I Was Threaten...
I had a nightmare that my ex boss threaten to remove me from my pose if I failed to bring in more sales for the company.
I was curious when I woke up because I resigned from the company happily and me and my ex boss still go out for dinner once in a while. He never press me when things were bad but he worked with me to solve all the problems. You don’t get any boss better than him.
I don't know why I had that dream and what it means.
In fact, it was him who encouraged me to venture out if I want to earn more money. I still remember he told me that working for others is going to limit my achievements.
I was blessed that I found internet marketing as a career and earn my living ever since. It was really hard to build the business and again I was blessed that the money started to come in when things are getting demoralizing.
To be frank, there are a lot more other ways for you to earn a decent living. If you are ambitious and want to own your own online marketing business, you really need to look at this:

After you have your article, submit it to the article directories like ezinearticles.com.
2. Create a Squidoo lense and make your content related to your niche. This is similar to article marketing where you post quality information with related keywords.
3. Like what you are reading now, create a blog about your niche and setting up a blog can be free.
Again, just like article marketing, you need to put in specific keywords or phrases to increase traffic to your web site.
Another thing about blog is that you need to post regularly because search engine spiders like constantly updated site. If you constantly update your blog and the posts are keywords targeted, it is easier for your blog to rank high when your prospects search something you are posting in you blog.
4. Another free way to increase traffic to your web site is to comment on related high traffic blogs. Most blog owners will allow you to insert your web site address.
A few things to remember when you comment on others' blog post is to be honest and sincere. Tell the owner what you think about the post instead of agreeing with the owner for the sake of getting traffic.
Never attack other blogger. Even you disagree with the post, the easiest thing you can do is to leave the blog.
The last thing is to never advertise in the comment box simply because it is a comment box. The blog owner and other readers will think that you are desperate to get business and most people dislike that.
5. Did you build your own list?
When you have your own list, you can ask other internet marketer to joint venture with you and cross promote each other websites and products.
6. Increasing traffic to your web site should be fun too. You can also join forums about your niche. Post reply to other members' question, start your own thread and build relationship with other members.
A very important thing you must do before posting to the forum is to understand its rules and regulations because most forums don't allow you to advertise in them. You might be ban from the forum if you do that.
Only promote your web site in your signature link. Look at how other veteran forum members craft their signature and you can model over that.
I hope that these 6 tips are enough to increase traffic to your web site. :-)

Some Tips on Article Marketing...
If you are looking for ways to increase your traffic, article marketing is still my personal choice.
Not just that it is free, it also help to screen the visitors to your website. This is because the people who click on your link are truly interested to your offer.
And to get these interested visitors, your need to craft your articles. So, let's see what you need to do here:
1. Keywords
Internet users type keywords or keyword phrases in search engines to look for what they want. It could be things like "cute toilet seat" to "elegant crystal brooch".
That is why you need to focus your articles on the possible keywords or keyword phrases used by your prospects. You can use SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool to determine which keywords or keyword phrases that are your prospects favorite.
Start with a broad keyword and move deeper into more specific keywords. Then, you should write you article on these specific keywords so that your article is targeted so specific group.
2. Keyword density
This is important for the search engine to notice your article. Your keyword density is dependent on the total words of your article. Your keyword density for an effective article should be just nice to make your article effective. Too many keywords might turn your readers off and if you are submitting article to article directories, they might reject your article. However, if your keyword density is too low, the search engine might not detect your article.
If you are writing a 400+ words article, my personal advice is to focus your keyword density at 3% - 5%.
3. Article content
Needless to say, good article content determines how successful your article will be. Your article content must be able to give good information, entertaining and solving your readers' issues.
The more facts and information you can provide your readers, you will develop a professional image in your niche. As more readers start to trust you, it is easier for you to do business with them.
4. Backlinks
You must remember to include a link back to your website if you want to rip the benefit of article marketing. It is unacceptable that you leave out the only way for people to notice your product.
Make sure that you include a short bio about you and your business at the end of your article. Craft a strong call to action message like:

Inspiration
I was impressed when I saw the million dollar round table insurance agents in the newspaper that day.
I wondered how did they do it? What push them to go on despite of the challenges and disappointments? Is it that my determination is not strong enough?
Then only I realized that only successful people survive numerous challenges and disappointments. They grow from challenges and disappointments. They might even look at challenges and disappointments differently from me.
They might stick firmly to their goal and focus 125% into it. They might be so determine that they are wiling to do all they can to realize their dream.
So I decided to challenge myself. I really want to see how far I can go...
Would you like to challenge yourself as well?
If you would, list down what you want to achieve on a paper and stick it on your notice board. You can even paste pictures around the list which helps to strengthen your will to be successful in affiliate marketing.
I hope that I can share my success stories with you very soon and I will be even happier if you share yours with me. :-)

A Word About Your List...
If you want a responsive list, you got to add value to your list. There is no other way than that.
Your members need to benefit from your contents. If they didn't learn anything or feel the value you added, they are going to think that you are using then for your own benefit.
If you practice that kind of business attitude, you are not going to survive long in the business.
So, it goes back to the same old advice that you need

Some Mistakes In Starting Your Internet Marketing Business...
Being lazy
It is true that you can earn a living online with just a few hours work a day. But before you can do that, you need to put in a lot of work. And that is where some internet marketers fail to perform.
Being lazy is never a good habit especially if you want to build a business. Successful internet marketing business hardly falls from the sky you know?
Letting Yourself Loose
Are you losing momentum in pursuing your internet marketing business?
Too many internet marketers decide to take a break when they fail to see results from let's say 5 blog posts. But the fact is they hardly go back to their business. Even when they do go back, their enthusiasm and drive is not as high as when they started the business.
It is okay to take a break and clear your mind but it is a different thing when you take a break and didn't return to your work.

Why You Must Have Your Own List?
I bet you know how important a list is to your affiliate marketing success. So, I won’t repeat the "the money is in the list" lecture.
But really, why do you need a list?
Just imagine you and your prospect are gym patron. Both of you don't know each other. However, both of you have the same purpose, which is to exercise.
It is the same in affiliate marketing, both of you want to earn money, just that both of you are strangers to each other.
So, a list acts as a link or bridge for both of you to communicate, sharing things both of you know for the benefits of each other.
Then, from total strangers, now both of you are gym buddies. Both of you help each other to work on the same goal and motivating each other to achieve the goal. Plus, your gym buddy might even ask you to join him at dinner in his house, introducing you to his family members and let you be part of his life.
Do you see what is happening after the bridge is build?
You foster relationship...
This is a very important factor to your affiliate marketing success. Once the relationship is build, selling and buying become easy. You just share the benefits with your list members, answer their question and they will buy from you.
Think about this, what is better than your gym buddy ask you to his house than you charging into his house uninvited? Isn't it better that your customers ask you to refer him to a product rather than you kept sending him marketing email?
So, why wait? Build your list TODAY...
