If you’ve ever bought a product to get a bonus then this is the post for you.

Having something that will compliment an affiliate offer is something that will skyrocket your conversions and make you a lot more sales. As you will learn in the video above this needs to be done properly or you can end up looking like a dick, yes I do actually call another marketer a dick for the way he tried to sell affiliate millionaire to me.

Anyway to cut a long story short Robert Puddy has a great new product that will allow you to offer bonus products and make more affiliate conversions.

Enjoy

p.s. Can you spot the 2 deliberate mistakes in the video?

Affiliate marketing is one of the best methods to earn quick money through the internet. It is a low cost business because you do not have to fork out a large sum of capital, unlike offline business where huge capital is involved. For online business, you can begin with a simple website and work your way into a full time business.

For affiliate marketing, the first thing you need to do is to find products or services which you want sell. Your main objective would be to drive targeted traffic to your website, so that they will buy the product through your link, and you will be able to earn commissions this way.

There are many ways for you to drive traffic online, you can use pay per click method, article writing or by building a list of responsive prospects. Which ever method you use, the main thing is to drive targeted traffic to your site, you will need to be precise and provide your prospects with a solution that they are looking for exactly.

As for pay per click affiliate (PPC) marketing strategy, you will set up small ads with a link back to your site. When it comes to PPC, it is crucial that you choose those highly targeted keywords for your niche for a better conversion and in turn, much higher revenue percentage. Same goes for article marketing and list building methods.

As an affiliate marketer, your main task would be to generate targeted traffic for your merchant. You need to keep in mind that those traffic that you drive to the site will eventually turn into money for you.

p.s. I know this is a copy & paste splog post, if you don’t like it post a comment so I know not to do it again!

So I spent a very enjoyable 24 hours in Newcastle at Lee McIntyre’s Continuity workshop.

As is to be expected from Lee the content was brilliant, and I’ve got a lot of ideas on how to go about expanding my business and adding in that all important continuity to create a real sustainable business revenue vs the boom & bust of product launches.

During the day it became clear to me that the people who invest in learning and buying products / services were those who were achieving success, so I want you to watch this 1 minute video and tell me if you’re a buyer or a tyre kicker?

Andrew

p.s. I really want to hear from you tyre kickers so I can see what’s holding you back from achieving success.

p.p.s The only tyre hurt in this recording was on the “Mighty Zaf” which is just a workhorse and used to the rough & tumble of family life.

This is something that I want to do more of, so every time I see my inbox flooded with pre-launch messages I’m going to record a video critique so that you can see what the big players are up to.

Hopefully this will allow you to “copy the best” rather than trying to re-invent the wheel.

Here’s the link to Howie’s Mobile Marketing Leadership page (currently in pre-launch) and I’m halfway to winning a robotic darth vadar arm! So please do sign-up for more info this does look to be a very profitable area of the market – I know that my time online via my phone is increasing!

As every please leave a comment so I know what you liked / hated about the video.

Are you looking for one of the more reliable and
authentic methods of making money from the
Internet?

If you’re sick of the scams, or just plain
confused because you don’t understand how people
can ever make money online, then I have a real
treat for you.

This report – called the “Roadmap To Become A
Blogger” – won’t cost you anything to download,
and in my opinion is one of the best guides out
there to learn how to build a successful blog.

You can download your copy from this website, you
just need to enter your name and email to gain

Blogs are websites, usually created by one person
who decides to share information about a certain
subject.

If the information is interesting, and the person
writing to the blog is consistent, eventually the
blog will build a readership.

When the blog has a few hundred or more readers,
the blogger can then charge money for advertising.

Advertisements usually come in the form of
banners, or small little text boxes with links in
them (you probably have seen these before).

The blogger may also decide to write reviews of
products related to that topic, and if any sales
are made from that review, the person writing the
blog earns a commission for each product sold.

For example a blog might focus on cooking a
certain type of food – perhaps Asian style
cooking. When a new cookbook on Asian food is
released, the blogger writes a review of the book
on the blog and as a result sells 10 copies to his
or her readers.

These are just two examples of how to make money
from a blog. It’s a lot like running your own
online magazine, so if you enjoy publishing
content, you will love blogging.

If you want a detailed, step-by-step guide on how
to set up your blog, you really will benefit from
this report -

The Roadmap To Become A Blogger:

http://www.becomeablogger.com/roadmap

The Roadmap report was written by Gideon Shalwick
and Yaro Starak, two experts at online marketing.

Yaro has made a living from his blog for more than
four years, and Gideon is a great trainer when it
comes to using online video.

When Gideon and Yaro got together they decided to
combine forces to create simple and easy to follow
resources to help people get into blogging.

What I really admire about these two guys is the
clarity of their teaching. After reading the
Roadmap report you will see that blogging isn’t
really that hard.

The Roadmap report is made up of two parts -

1. Yaro’s system for building a successful blog,
which has been tested and implemented by hundreds
of people who write blogs on very diverse topics,
such as acne treatment, cars, golf, spirituality,
personal development, american football, stock
trading, and more…

2. Gideon’s clever “X-Factor” techniques, which
teach you how to use multimedia and social media
to ensure your blog is a success.

Most blogs fail, so having both a proven formula
for success, and some extra powerful techniques
that will elevate your blog above the rest, is a
near-guarantee of success – you just have to get
out there and do the work.

If you’re serious and ready for action, go grab
your copy of the Roadmap now -

I’m confident you will benefit immensely from
this document because I know it’s the real deal,
from two guys who are down to earth and you can
trust.

And it won’t cost you anything, so you may as
well take a look

Andrew

P.S. The Roadmap report also comes in an mp3 audio
format, which is Gideon reading out the report to
you.

You can download the audio version at the same
time as you download the text version of the
report – and yes, it’s also available at no
cost.

Over 30,000 people have already downloaded the
Roadmap, so go grab your copy of either the audio
or text version from here -

So this time yesterday I was able to sit down and spend the 3 minutes setting up my twittollower account.

I followed the video setting up a profile, homepage url, changing the default background, and adding in a picture.

Within twittollower I selected the niche of “List Building” from the choice of lots of profitable niches, and then went out to play widegames in the snow with my scouts.

Here’s a screen shot of what the software has done for me on complete autopilot

Now the url in the profile is a TEtoolbox tracker so  I can tell that these followers are clicking that link, and more importantly they have joined my site!

The next stage is to actually start posting content, and I’ll be in touch once I’ve watched Matt’s video’s.

Happy tweeting

Andrew

As you know I recently read CrushIt where basically you create a blog about something that you’re passionate about.

So to help make this happen I bought Rob Benwell’s latest edition of blogging to the bank 2010

Now I’m going to be totally honest with you, and this is probably the strangest recommendation that you’ll read in the world of internet marketing.

When you visit the site close the window and click cancel so that you can buy the ebook for $27. You will then be presented with an offer for step by step video training with recurring billing of $29.95 per month. I’ve watched the first 2, and it’s really helped me identify a niche, pick keywords, and this niche has some great clickbank products that are massive sellers.

Now this coaching is the only reason to buy Rob’s product, if I’d just bought the ebook I would have been asking for a refund – remember this is clickbank and getting full refunds is super easy!

I found it to be a bit too generic with no real actionable points, the strategy outlined in crushit is probably better, and at $10.99 it’s more than half the price – and importantly it’s much easier to read about a physical blogging book whilst on the bog!

If you find this review useful remember to use the sexy bookmarks at the bottom, or be brave and leave a comment.

Hopefully I’ll be able to share what I learn from looking over Rob’s shoulder rather than trying to second guess it from reading the ebook. I’m really looking forward to the plug-ins he recommends, the traffic generation stratagies, buying and selling “short term blogs”, and how to outsource the article writing.

Happy Blogging

Andrew

p.s. here’s the download page for the free report that I’m going to be using for my listbuilding, it may give you a little hint about the niche that I’m going to be targeting.

So you made an amazing auto-responder email series, you wrote tons of brilliant articles, and you have an extremely catchy landing page that sucks in the leads. Yet somehow you’re getting almost no sells and you don’t understand why. Sound familiar? I know this is a pretty common problem, but it’s unfortunate that people still haven’t figured out what’s causing it.

I’ll try to explain a little of what’s happening to your sales throughout this article. Contrary to what you might be thinking – it is completely possible that your sales funnel is making tons of sales, but you’re not seeing any of the commission. Obviously this is a pretty big problem that you’ll want to take care of as soon as possible.

Basically what’s happening is this: the user is changing your affiliate ID to their own, or spyware on their computer is doing it. Both of these will stop you from getting credit for the sale even though you’re the one who made it. There’s no way that you can stop them from doing that, unless you cloak your link.

Link cloaking is when you program a redirect on your website that hides affiliate ID’s and makes it impossible for spyware or users to stop you from getting sales.

I hope you realize the difference this could make, you could be giving someone else all of your sales already. Instead of making money from your sales funnel you might be just handing it off to someone else.

Even if you make sales all the time without problems, some of them might still be stolen. It shouldn’t hurt anything to start cloaking your links so you lock in the sales. The problem is that it can be hard to make a good link cloak, unless you’re a programmer (or something of that nature).

Instead you can use one of the many link cloaking services on the internet, but I wouldn’t suggest you just use the first one that you find. Many of these will actually mess up the tracking cookies and you STILL won’t get credit for the sale. You need to make sure that you’re using a cloaking service designed for affiliate marketing – and there aren’t nearly as many of those.

I have heard horror stories of people who used redirection services such as TinyURL and Bit.ly – apparently they are notorious for often screwing up affiliate links and not giving you credit for any sales. Most other link shortening services will have these problems as well.

The best link cloaker is one that you can put on your own site so you don’t have to worry about anything breaking down or not working properly. As I mentioned earlier though, this can be difficult to make if you aren’t a programmer – or willing to pay one.

I recommend you go here and get this free report about link cloaking and the best services for affiliate marketers. I don’t know of any better place to learn what works, and what doesn’t.

Discover more about link cloaking in the free Cloak and Dagger Affiliate Secrets report. Feel free to distribute this article in any form as long as you include this resource box. You can also include your affiliate link if you sign up at Clickbank Pirate.

So earlier this week I told you about a new service from my friends Matt & Tahir that helps you build up a massive twitter following.

To show you typical results I’m setting up the system on my test account – the image below shows you this account only has 2 followers!

I’ll post again with details of followers, and also more importantly details of the traffic I’ve generated.

Just so you know this current you will see that the Apple ipad is still dominating the trends, and I do think the name is rather unfortunate given what american women call their sanitory towels.

So I won a copy of “Crush It” from my twitter buddie AlanWho and although I’d seen the buzz on twitter when it came out it wasn’t something that made me go order a copy. Long story short this is a cracking little book, that everyone with a passion should read asap and embrace the world of social media.

Now I’m going to make my passion squeezepages, I was able to think of at least a dozen good headlines for blog posts, so I’ll be starting a new blog later this year to really drive traffic to my sites and share the many different ways of setting up profitable squeezepages for loads of different niche markets.

Please let me know what you’re passionate about, and if you leave a link to your opt-in page within the comment I’ll try to do a video critique for you to help you get better conversion, and make more cash.
