After being online and jaded, I'm sure all of you aren't blinded from the fact that there actually are quite a number of cool affiliate marketing strategies. However, looking for new strategies is really not the answer to the question "how to make money with affiliate marketing". The most important is to look at time-tested methods. Those that even the gurus are using right now to make money. For example, we all know that affiliate teleseminars are a great way of making money. If you want to know about this, please read about Alex Mandossian's Teleseminar Secrets. Another time-tested approach has been Google Adwords. The approach used in Chris Carpenter's original Google Cash method worked for me - at least a while. Now with the updates and the very down-to-earth strategies in Day Job Killer, this approach has been revived. Learn about Google Adwords from my friend Simon Leung. He's a great guy. I tested several other methods recently. Ezines don't work well if you have lots of content. The more captivating the content, the less people click on your links. So, I'd suggest you keep short notes and let them read one piece of useful content if you want to make your promotion obvious. Another one I tested is the "Don't buy what I'm selling". This is hilarious, especially when you can create the pain in describing why they shouldn't buy. You tell people not to buy your product because there are many free software out there with known bugs. Teach them how to circumvent the bug issue. Show them how to put things together free. It's going to be great, but at some point in time, they will not want to use these. Then, you recommend them "If you *really* want to spend money on a fairly pricey item, then click here". It's surprising how many people actually would rather spend money on an expensive item than to jump through the hoops on a free item. Anyway, I hope that benefits you. I've got a few more tips and tricks at my blog.

For most people, internet marketing is a money making industry. In reality, internet marketing is about developing oneself on a regular basis. If you are involved in internet marketing, you will have to pay attention to some of the intermediate strategies that are being used - especially if you are a beginner. I'd like to just share a few intermediate to advanced strategies you can use in order to enhance your internet marketing efforts, whether you are selling internet marketing itself or not. Hopefully, you can leverage internet marketing to enhance your income in the shortest span of time. Strategy #1 - Maximizing Your Productivity Many internet marketers go solo on this. I would say that in order for you to create the most amount of leverage, you will have to master your productivity. It's important for you to find outsourced talent. Places such as elance.com may prove to become too expensive, so it's more viable to look to two particular sources that I find much cheaper and just as reliable. First, you should seek out specific talent forums. If you need a programmer, go to programmer forums. If you need an affiliate manager, go to affiliate forums. If you need a designer, then design forums are probably a better bet. The second is to look for a local university and seek out those within the talent space you need to hire. Bright, young individuals might actually have something to prove and do a really good job! Don't just outsource! Manage your talent, help them to grow and train them up to become better. Point them to the right resources and you'll realize that they will be more willing to assist you in doing even bigger projects online. Strategy #2 - Automated traffic mechanisms If you have not got a series of automated traffic, you will probably find that it is difficult to generate traffic. Each of my sites is typically optimized on the search engines. If you want to learn more about Search Engine Optimization, there are plenty of courses that are available online, not to mention some really good SEO forums. On the forums at InternetMarketingSingapore.com/101traffic.html, there are some 103 ideas on generating traffic. You just need to go in there and identify the 5 best ways for you to do this, then keep at it for a while. Strategy #3 - Focus on a the 4-hour Work Week! If you haven't already, you should pick up a copy of Timothy Ferriss' "4-Hour work week". He mentions two things that struck me right from the start. For instance, what are the 20% of the things that create for you 80% of the results? And what are 20% of the things that you do that create 80% of your problems? If you focus on answering these, you should be more effective in understanding your productivity cycle and move closer toward overall business improvement! |
