Some Article Marketing Tips To Help Your Affiliate Marketing Business

If you are just starting with affiliate marketing and you are probably cautious with your marketing budget. To be honest with you, that is totally normal. And if you are looking for something to promote your business that won’t cost you much money, you will want to give article marketing a look.

However, before you start writing an article, you have to be clear of its purpose. If you are merely writing to post on websites or article directories, you probably won’t see much result from your article marketing effort.

Your article has to be,

• Easy to read and understand
• Valuable information
• Draw attention

So, how do you start article marketing?

1. Keywords

The reason you put keywords into your article is so that your article can turn up in the search engine result page (SERP) when prospects put in keywords in the search engines. When you use the right keywords, your article will turn up high in the SERP and that can really help to bring in traffic to your business.

However, getting the right keywords to write for your article is getting more and more challenging nowadays. So, avoid targeting general keywords in your article.

Let's say you are affiliate for dog training (this used to be a hot niche last time. I am not sure whether they still teach you to start from there or not). You will see many websites turn up when you Google for "dog training". So, logic tells you that this is a very competitive keyword. As someone who just started with the business, you MUST avoid it.

In that case, you probably want to try "training for German Sheppard" or "dog training at Hawaii". Try to add something specific in your keywords.

A Quick Tip About Keyword Research

Go to freekeywords.wordtracker, key in the general keywords for your niche, look at the list and use the keywords that are at lower part of the list. They generally are less competitive.

2. Quality content

What do you expect from an article?

Quality content isn't it?

I have seen too many articles where the content has no relation to the title or the summary. Many writers give very general information and sometime you will wonder what you have learnt after reading the article.

These writers caught your attention with the title and hopefully you will stick with their article and click on their link at the resource box. Let me tell you this, it doesn't work. You are only annoying your readers. If you are serious to make money with affiliate marketing through article marketing, I sincerely hope you can write with integrity.

Even though many affiliate marketing newbie are intimidated by writing their own article, again, that is totally normal. No one was born to write. Many good writers practice their writings and they became good at it. Well, I also run into writer block sometime. Still, the more I write, the faster I can break out of it. You can too.

So, start writing today and good luck.

Complacent or Not?

From the first glance of the title, you probably already answer "No" and that is right. And looking at the comparison between poor and rich internet marketer, you will understand why I said that.

1. Clear goal

Poor internet marketer: Charge into the internet marketing business and clueless about what to do. Running here and there without making any money just for the fun of trial and error.

Rich internet marketer: You have a firm determination that internet marketing is for you and you will do nothing else beside internet marketing. You are clear if your goal and you have a plan to do it. Even though the plan might not be perfect, you are still willing to refine it.

2. Leisure

Poor internet marketer: Is suppose to go online to look for information but got sidetracked and watch video for hours instead. The videos were entertaining and fun to watch. It was so relaxing...

Rich internet marketer: The only leisure you have is to search for inspiration online. There is nothing more fun and satisfying then to get what you want. It just seems to brighten your day.

3. Friends

Poor internet marketer: Hang out with friends who thought that it is impossible to build a profitable internet marketing business. Not a million years for ordinary people. Mingle with friends who laugh at the dream of being a rich internet marketer. Mix with friends who say that the only way to make money with internet marketing is to con people into it.

Rich internet marketer: You hang out with friends who influence you to be innovative, proactive and believe that it is very possible to be financially free with internet marketing. Mingle with friends who are interested to joint venture with you and look into the possibilities to build a profitable online business together. Mix with friends who challenge you to be independent and solve your own problem.

4. Education

Poor internet marketer: Learn internet marketing.

Rich internet marketer: Learn how to be successful in internet marketing.

5. Time

Poor internet marketer: Complain that time is not enough but procrastinate to finish the project. There is some guilt in the heart but delaying the work somehow seems to be light on the shoulders too. And whenever the it was asked about the reason for not making money with internet marketing, not having enough time again became the easy target.

Rich internet marketer: You are sincerely not having enough time. You woke up at 6am and sleep at 2am. You start to swallow your food and you take as small meal as possible (eating too full somehow affect your brain activity). You are constantly thinking about your internet marketing business and how you can make more money with it. Even toilet break has never been so rushing for you.

6. The Business Concept

Poor internet marketer: Making a few thousand a month with internet marketing is enough and this extra money is good to pay for mortgage and clear out loans. Also, it is perfectly normal to work hard for internet marketing because everyone is doing that.

Rich internet marketer: You don't want to follow what everyone else is doing. You want to be a trend setter. You want to break out of the old and boring box and making a few thousand a month is just a starter. You want to earn more and you want to see yourself living in that huge mansion with an Olympic size swimming pool, driving that supercar, feeling happy to wake up in the morning in your cozy bed knowing that there are more zeroes added to your bank account and more. You are hungry for that.

7. Investment

Poor internet marketer: A lot of people are suffering from retrenchment and it is lucky to be able to earn an extra $3k a month with internet marketing. These extras should be kept in saving. Who knows what will happen tomorrow.

Rich internet marketer: The more insecure you feel about tomorrow, the more you want to earn within your power. You understand that you can't "put all the eggs into 1 basket". It is so dangerous. So, you explore more income sources and you are prepare to diversify into the niches you believe to be profitable.

So, what category do you belong to? And where do you want to go?

Affiliate Marketing Tips - Start With Your Strength

Can it be anymore obvious?

If you were to open a shop, will you sell something you know nothing about or something you are familiar with? If you were like me someone who doesn't take risk as lunch, you will start your business with something you know or good at.

That goes the same to your affiliate marketing business.

However, I still couldn't understand how people who used to be conservative in the offline business can became so bold when starting their affiliate marketing business. They can spend thousand of dollars going into the niches they don't know about. Hmmmmm......

Well, I guess that is not for me to say anything. But, if you are conscious about the money you want to make with affiliate marketing, you probably want to start with the niches that you are good at.

Say you are good with photography. Do you know how many digital photography ebooks are on the market? To be frank, is not many. However, there are many people who are interested to improve their digital photography skills. If you saw an updated ebook about digital photography and with your familiarity about the niche, I bet it won't take you long to start making money in the digital photography niche.

How about selling gardening products?

I know that there are many affiliate marketers selling gardening information out there. If you are just started with affiliate marketing, it can be a hard fight to compete with these affiliate marketers.

If that is the case, why don't you shift your attention to something that is related to your niche? Instead of selling gardening ebook, you can focus on stone slab, pebbles, water features and other things that are related to gardening.

By the way, you can use the same tip when you see that your niche is populated with affiliate marketers selling information about your niche. So, instead of selling ebook about how you can brew the perfect coffee, you can be an affiliate for coffee maker, coffee bean or something like that.

Remember, you are not limited to just selling information in affiliate marketing.

I hope you get my point.

Your Marketing Effort Is Simply. NOT Enough...

In today affiliate marketing arena, focusing on 1 or 2 marketing strategies are no longer enough to help you make money with the business. That could possibly be why you are not making enough money with affiliate marketing.

So, the next time you are thinking of keeping your money and satisfy with your marketing strategy, think again and here are reasons why,

1. Visibility

In today business world, visibility plays a very important for your survival in affiliate marketing. We human being can only receive certain amount of information a day and we quickly delete old information so to make space for new information.

Studies have shown that you have to let your prospects see you at least 7 times before they buy your product. Looking at that, you should know by now that you need to let your prospects see your offer as many time as possible.

2. Broaden your horizon

Customers don't stay in a group and wave at you to ask you to market to them. If you have been making money with affiliate marketing, you should know that your customers come from different areas and groups.

So, if you are serious about making more money with affiliate marketing, you will want to consider broadening your marketing campaigns.

Besides, when you have broadened your horizon, you can meet with more people and possibly more opportunities to make money with the business. Who knows someone might offer you a joint venture or share more affiliate opportunities with you.

3. More money

Can it be anymore obvious?

The more marketing strategies you use, the more people you will market to and more business will come to you. Of course you have to be sure that the marketing strategies you adopt are effective in bringing more money to you.

Unlike offline marketing, there are only a handful of marketing strategies you can use for affiliate marketing. So, make sure you spend some time and practice them as much as you can.

4. Backup

Just imagine you are spending too much money with PPC and you are getting tight with your budget. You aren't going to stop your affiliate marketing business, aren't you?

So, if you are equipped with more marketing strategies like article marketing or blogging, you can still grow your business from these channels. Once you are stable with your budget, you can go back to what you are doing.

You have to have some back up strategies for your disposal if you were to be successful in affiliate marketing.

All the best to you,

Tips For Affiliate Marketers

There are many benefits of being an affiliate marketer. You have more flexible time, you don't need to rush for traffic or stuck in queues and the best part is you can make money at the comfort of your home even on your bed. I hope you start to see the beauty of this business now.

However, as comfortable as running your business at home, you will have to deal with the house chores and other activities that require your attention. And for you know, that can really eat into your time and divert your attention. This will be more obvious when you have children at home. There is certainly no reason to get a babysitter since you are running your own home business. Isn't it?

So, here are some tips for you when you are running your affiliate marketing business at the comfort of your home,

1. Balance time

Picture the time you are starting on your affiliate marketing business and you are staying at home while your spouse is working in an office. You can bet that your spouse will expect you to deal with the house chores. Be ready to cleaning the dishes, iron the clothes, water the plants, walk the dog, get the groceries, change the diapers and etc...

Suddenly, working from home doesn't sound so enjoyable anymore. Right?

As much as I hate to say this, house chores can really take your time and spoil your marketing work. So, make sure you have a clear list of what you need to do and follow it tightly. And if you need to hire help to reduce some of your stress, make sure you do it.

2. Be fair

This tip is only useful when you need to deal with your kids when you are running your business. If they are taking a lot of your time, sometime you do need to be frank with them and tell them that you need to work. Let your kids know that this is important to you.

You can tell your kids to spare you an hour or two and you will do something fun with them once the time is up. Make sure you hold onto your words. You don't want to disappoint the kids and make them feel that they are being neglected.

Still, that doesn't mean that you have to punish them when they distract your work. You might want to wait until they take a nap before you can start your work.

They are your kids. You will have the best way to deal with them.

3. Be honest

With regard to balancing time, for some reasons, your family members just can't seem to see that you are working hard for your business. They might think that you have too much time to spare. To some of them, you might be just making up an excuse to avoid having a solid job.

They thought that your work is light and insignificant. That is probably when they start to shower you with all the house chores. Have you ever had the experience that your mom came into your room and ask you to hang the clothes even though your siblings are comfortably hanging out with PS3 downstairs? I hope you don't because that is really frustrating.

If that is the case, you probably have to speak up for yourself and tell your family members that you are in fact working hard to build your affiliate marketing business. This is just as important as working in an office from Monday to Friday.

Make Money With Blogging

Looking at the enormous bloggers who are making money online, you probably are trying to work out something from your blog. But where do you start? Some said that you should start with free blogging platform and some said you should start with own hosting blog.

Let's take a look with each of them to help you decide which is best for you,

Your own hosted blog

Firstly, you can have a total unique domain name for your blog. Instead of yourblogname.blogspot.com, you can have a blog that is totally under your registration. Neat doesnt it?

And for some reasons, some readers also felt uneasy when they see your blog name is associated with free blogging platform. It probably gives them a bad impression about your blog. Some might even think that you are not serious in this business because you are not hosting your own blog.

So, if you want your blogging business to include readers from every aspect of likelihood, you probably host your own blog.

The next best thing about paying for a hosted blog is that you can total control about the design of your blog. It is similar to having your own website. You can put in whatever design you like and make your display as unique as you can. If you are a creative blogger, there is no end to what you can do with your blog.

When you are blogging with free blogging platform, you are limited to whatever the platforms have for you. You have to make best with that.

Free blogging platforms

As the name implies, the platforms are free. You don't need to pay for the domain name, you are free from the monthly hosting fee. You just focus on writing. This can be real help when you are starting your affiliate marketing business with blogging.

Not just that, free blogging platforms are also good when you are having multiple blogs for multiple products. Imagine the money you have to pay every month even you are not making money with affiliate marketing. This amount can be heavy to someone who is just started with the business.

Another advantage about using free blogging platforms is because you are free from the design of the blog. If don't have much knowledge about HTML code, you will have to spend more money to hire someone to do the website design for you. This again will take you off if you are starting the business with low budget.

And judging from what I have written, you probably still are unsure about using the paid or free blogging platforms. I apologize on that because to be frank, different blogger will have their preferences.

However, I personally think that you ought to start blogging with free platforms first and move to paid platform when you are ready. Take this time to learn all you can about blogging and be familiar with it. When you are ready to shift, just make a post on your free blog and announce that you are moving to a new blog.

If you are readers are loyal to you, they will follow you to the new site. For those who don't follow you, is OK. They might not have much interest about you anyway.

And if you ask me why I am still sticking with free blogging platform, don't factor me into the statistic.

I am just lazy to change.

How To Get Your Customers To Spend More On Your Affiliate Marketing Business

Have you ever seen some affiliate marketers who just seem to be able to get the customers to buy whatever they sell? It felt that the customers just listen to them and dig out their money even though in this challenging economic condition. Have you ever wonder how they manage to do that?

Well, here are 3 tips you can look at.

1. Greater perceived value

Now, everyone see things differently. Some might value your product, some might value your bonuses and some might just value your service. But mostly, customers value the value they get back when they buy your affiliate product.

So, what you need to do here is to create an experience that your customer value. From the beginning of the process to beyond the transaction. You need to follow up with them and see their respond about their purchase. Once your customers see how you run your business, they will stick with you and spend more money with you.

2. Exclusiveness

People feel prestige when you offer them something unique and exclusive. Think about this, how you will feel when you are being offered an exclusive entry into the Ferrari club where you can enjoy the prestige treatment like the members just by buying one of their toy models? I bet many of you will fight for the chance.

Well, that works the same for affiliate marketing. Many people like to be look up to. So, tailored your offer only to those who take action early. Make sure you give them something special and make sure you stress that these exclusive offers are limited.

3. Result

When people buy from you, they expect to see result. If they bought a weight loss ebook from you and it fail miserably, will they buy from you again?

So, it is important that you make sure the product works before you market it. And let's say the product does works, you can actually put in your personal testimonial to support your claims. This let your customers know that you have tried the product and you are ready to back the product up.

With that being said, you can even offer an exclusive bonus to some of the customers where you will guide them personally to get what they want. Customers are more likely to buy from you when they feel that they are being supported.

Some Search Engine Optimization Tips For You...

However, search engine optimization is not something you can master overnight. So, I am going to share some tips here with you so that you get a glimpse of the technique and how you can actually start practicing it now.

1. Title tag

For short, this is the HTML code used to display the title off your choice at the top left of your internet browser. This title tag is a common place for the search engine spider to look for information about your business.

So, put in your thoroughly researched keywords in your title tag so that you can rank higher in the search engine. If for some reason that you feel that the keywords are not working well, you can always change the keywords.

2. H1 tag

Besides changing the title tag, you can also look for the H1 tag and put in new keywords to help boost your search engine ranking. You can actually put in more keywords here to help increase your search ranking. However, the most important thing when you are editing the H1 tag is to NOT over populate the tag.

Search engine will not credit websites that try to exploit the tagging.

3. Keywords usage

But, I think that you surely don't run your affiliate marketing business base solely on a single keyword, right?

So, mix the keywords in your content so that your writing doesn't look too hard sell. Of course, you will still want to focus on the best keywords you have researched. Be diligent with how you use keywords and you will be fine.

4 Free Marketing Tips To Help Start Your Affiliate Marketing Business

Now, you might have the best product in the world but you are not making money if people don't know about it. So, as a wise affiliate marketer, you will have to market your product. After all, this is what affiliate marketing is all about. Still, after some years into this business, I still see people who struggle in this.

Actually, marketing can be easy. You just open yourself and ideas will come to you naturally. And to help you on that, here are 4 free marketing tips you can use to kick start your affiliate marketing business,

1. Change

Someone once said "Change when something doesn't work."

And that can't be anymore truer. When you are not making money with affiliate marketing, something must be wrong and you need to change it. To start, let's look at your content (assuming you have your website and you are publishing something to get your customers to buy your product).

When you are publishing something, it is essential that you put in action words in your writing. Don't write stuff that needs your customers to second guess. If you want them to sign up for your newsletter, tell them to do so.

If you want to have better result, you can actually slip in a little information about your product in your writing just to tease your readers. Then, you will want to tell them if they want to know about what you offer, just sign up for your newsletter.

2. Partnership

A lot of affiliate marketer seems to ignore the power of joint venture with other affiliate marketers to build their business. They probably are shy to ask about the partnership. If you are one of them, I think this is the time you have to step out from your comfort zone.

But why is this so important for your business? Think about this. As hardworking as you are to build your business, there will be markets that you never tap before and these people can actually be highly interested to your offer. But when you joint venture with other affiliate marketers, both of you can tap into each other contacts and supplement each other weaknesses.

If you are an affiliate for coffee bean, you can joint venture with affiliate marketers who promote coffee machine. Both of you serve the customers' needs. Building a successful affiliate marketing business can't be anymore win-win than this.

And if you are still hesitate about asking for joint venture, let me tell you this, making money with affiliate marketing is getting more and more difficult by the days. It is wise that you can leverage on all the possibilities you can find to start bringing money for your pocket.

Remember, other affiliate marketers are not monster. They are not going to eat you up. The worst they can do is to ignore your offer. If that is the case, you just move on with other successful affiliate marketers.

3. You are good at?

Yes. What are you good at?

When you are in affiliate marketing, it is important that you start with the niche that you are familiar with. When you can present the information in the way you know it, you will sound more convincing. Your readers will have less rejection believing what you are saying.

Most of all, you will find marketing getting easier when you are marketing from the bottom of your heart.

4. Relationship

In any business setup, relationship plays a big part in closing that deal.

Look back at the time when you bought your car or house, don't you feel that you are somehow established a relationship with the seller. You seem to tell the person what you are looking for and the sales just seem to match what you want. And even he or she can't provide exactly what you want, you are still willing to settle on the second best.

Now, what you need to do is to build that kind of relationship with your affiliate marketing business prospects. It might be an advantage if you have the sales experience but it doesn't mean you can't build that kind of relationship if you are not from sales. You just need to learn it,
