  • Making Your Amazon Affiliate Store Go Viral

    From failure to success

    If you’ve tried to make money with Amazon (or any affiliate marketing system for that matter) the part where most people fail is getting traffic to their affiliate sites, or the product pages of the merchants with which they are affiliated. However, this failure can easily be converted into success by utilizing the right tools.

    With that in mind it is important for affiliates to grasp the concept of viral traffic – the easiest, best and most targeted traffic any marketer can get – when done right. So if you’re an affiliate marketer this is certainly something you should keep in mind and learn how to utilize viral traffic in your marketing efforts.

    Viral traffic done right

    Let’s start by taking a closer look at viral traffic and how to get it done the right way. First and foremost, in order for something to go viral it needs to be comprised of the following:

    • Value
    • Share-ability
    • Congruency

    If you can give people something they’re interested in like a gift, report, video training, or a software tool that fixes their issue… whatever it is – and for them to fix that all they have to do is click a button? Well… that’s gold right there! But you’re problably already aware of this fact.

    However, what you may not already know is that ShopABot performs all these functions for you automatically, while building an email subscriber list AND rewards them for buying through your link… and even sharing your store and your affiliate links for you. When ShopABot has found your niche, working out what kind of gift to pair it up with is easy.

    Click of a button

    For example, if you click the button and it has found that Green Tea is the perfect niche for you, the rest is easy because all you have to do is give away any kind of item like a report or other similar gift that shows how to:

    • How to brew your tea for maximum flavor
    • 20 iced tea recipes
    • The x health benefits from Green Tea
    • Where to find top quality teas at bargain prices
    • Places around the globe for exquisite tea experiences

    In that report, you could even get a little more creative and include other related recommended resources. For example… they are buying green tea, maybe they also need a kettle, or some fancy teacups etc. And if you’re doing the traffic manually (instead of using ShopABot), it’s still a good idea to stick with social media; because of all the things you know about social media, and have heard about social media, the most powerful thing about is it’s like word of mouth, but on steroids!

    Click here to get a closer look at what many of today’s Web marketers consider to be one of the most powerful, effective and easy-to-use viral traffic software programs available on the Internet today.

    Sites of focus

    There are really three sites you should focus on in the beginning:

    1. Facebook – This is the goliath of social media. It’s important to get a fan page created for your website ASAP.
    2. Pinterest – There’s not many sites that can bring more traffic than Pinterest, especially if you use it correctly. Post often, post relevant content that is likely to be re-pinned a lot, and follow as many accounts relevant to your niche as you can.
    3. Instagram – You may have been expecting Twitter to be the third site, but I’ve actually found Instagram a lot more effective than Twitter. There are no “secrets” to Instagram, really. Just follow relevant users, like and comment on their content, and post great images on a regular basis with relevant hashtags. It’s easy.

    Get the ball rolling!

    Twitter is probably the next one you should focus on, followed by YouTube, and then others like Snapchat. But be careful to grow your social media at a natural rate, because if you follow too many people, make too many comments, create too many posts that might be construed as promotions (among other seemingly rapid activities) too quickly, you could get banned. That having been said, however, using the viral traffic system inbuilt in ShopABot, you can avoid any potential backlash because it’s your visitors who are sharing. You just get the ball rolling by giving away free stuff and you’ll see for yourself that the affiliate commissions will snowball from there!

  • Finding The Best Amazon Products To Promote

    Answer to the question

    Consider this scenario for a moment: You’ve put all of the work in creating your website and making content, and then you admire your great work for a few minutes; but then the reality sets in… the reality of the reason you created your site in the first place. Making MONEY! So your next step might just be to ask the all too familiar question. Now what?

    Well, the answer to that question is simply, now it’s time for the fun part… Making it make YOU money; but you can’t treat this the same way you might have treated those micro niche sites that were so popular a few years ago. It takes finesse! However, you may be looking for a shortcut, and if you are, I have just the one for you. It’s called ShopABot!

    Wanna take a look?

    Why not visit ShopABot and take a look at how this software helps to create that shortcut for you while putting money in your pockets at the same time. You’re not going to believe this, but ShopABot suggests the products, recommending them for you based on what’s proven to sell, and get shared by most users; but if you haven’t got access to ShopABot, or want to do it manually you need to be a bit more choosey about the ones you pick, so that you’re not wasting all that work on something that won’t make you money, see what I mean?

    Clicking this link could well be that second step that answers your “Now what” question, because it will take you directly to ShopABot where you can get a first-hand view of what many site owners have considered the most powerful, cutting edge, money-grabbing piece of software on the Web today.

    What others has said

    It is important to point out here that many of the site owners who use this software – including the owner – have suggested that the best way to do things on your blog is to demonstrate the use of the product in some way without making your posts seem like nothing but ads for products you’re selling; and that’s the most unique function of this software.

    Let’s say for example, that you want to sell some really cool kitchen gadget. You could make a video of yourself preparing some dish that uses the gadget and shows just how cool it really is. (Alternately, you could embed someone else’s video and just talk about how cool it is in your article.) Or, create a giveaway report teaching something valuable and then recommend your affiliate product as the resource they should use.

    At the end of your article, or in the report, add your affiliate link. Do not use banners or anything like that, because you don’t want to seem too promotional, but at the same time, don’t hide that you’re using an affiliate link, because that’s against Amazon’s terms, and could also upset your visitors.

    Ads-to-posts ratio?

    Some marketers promote affiliate products in maybe 1:5 posts while others promote them in 1:10; and while this technique seems like you won’t be making much money, they caution that you should not woory too much, since promoting affiliate links too frequently (over saturating your blog with affiliate product links), people will become blind to them and think you’re all about money rather than user experience. In the long run, you’ll make more money with fewer ads, because more people will visit your site often in anticipation of new content.

    Make sure you find the best-of-the-best when it comes to the products you promote, though; and if possible, test each item yourself so you can be sure it really works. An added bonus to testing it yourself is the ability to post your own pictures and/or videos using the product, which will help you seem more authentic and enhance your credibility in its promotion and in your readers’ eyes, thus increasing sales and profits.

    Wide-range product prices

    Also, be sure to promote products in a wide range of prices. If you’re only promoting products over $100, people will grow tired of it. Not everyone can afford to splurge on expensive items very often. Be sure you throw the occasional $5 item into the mix. In fact, you can even say, “I can’t believe how inexpensive this is!” And don’t worry about the miniscule commission you’ll receive when you promote a $5 item. Many people will end up ordering more than just that $5 commission, and you’ll make money on whatever else they purchase, too!

  • When Email Marketing Yields Unexpectedly Great Results

    The basic concept

    Sometimes the benefits of email marketing are quite different than anticipated. Most Web marketers understand the basic concept of email marketing which is to email promotional materials to a large group of Internet users in an effort to promote interest in particular products or services. This concept is easy for many to understand, but we will attempt to describe and, perhaps, elaborate on a few of the more beneficial aspects of email marketing.

    In the following paragraphs we discuss the basics of email marketing, but we will also explain how – sometimes – email marketing can encompass much more than originally planned. This additional reach can be either a positive or negative influence depending on the quality of original emails and the reactions of subscriber list recipients.

    Simple & cost effective

    Email marketing is a very simple concept which can also be extremely cost effective; but the general idea behind email marketing can be narrowed down to this simple characterization: An email is sent to an email subscription (or distribution) list with the single purpose of creating an interest in the products or services being offered by the originator of that email. In theory this concept could not be simpler but email marketing can get significantly more complicated when being implemented.

    One of the biggest complicating factors is the potential for emails used in a marketing campaign occur when one or more of those emails are misinterpreted as spam, either recipient of such emails or a spam filter provided by the Internet service provider. This potential alone creates a major complication because Web marketers have to make a significant effort to ensure that their messages are not trapped by a spam filter or immediately deleted by the recipients for appearing to be spam.

    After clearing initial hurdle

    Once the misinterpretation hurdle is cleared and email messages get through to recipients, they have a small window of opportunity to make a positive impression on those recipients and influence them to make a purchase or at least visit the business owner’s website. One effective method of getting such a result is to provide quality content while keeping advertising subtle and at a minimum while making sure to feature a clear call to action. These are all factors which have been proven to help get the message across and entice potential customers to make a purchase or at least visit a website to get a closer look at those products and services.

    As previously stated the goal of an email marketing campaign is to subtlely persuade email recipients to either make a purchase or visit a particular website for more detailed information; and when an email recipient performs either of these actions, it is considered a huge success. However, thanks to the power of a forward button, email marketing can actually be much more successful than even the business owner intended.

    Better than word-of-mouth

    One of the great aspects of email marketing becomes evident when email recipients receive an email that they think is worthwhile and are likely to make a purchase, but may also forward the same information on to a friend or family member they believe may also be interested in learning more about the particular product or service. This ability to forward email messages can be compared to satisfied customers in the offline world using word of mouth to tout the quality of products or services they have bought and like.

    However, the ability to forward a worthwhile email message is exponentially more effective than using word of mouth to spread the word; because with just a few clicks of the mouse the original email recipient can forward any message to several of his/her friends simultaneously. This can result in significantly better results than the business owner had originally expected with no additional effort and time being exerted or money being spent.

  • Blend Email With Other Marketing Strategies!

    The concept

    Whether you choose to do your marketing online or offline one thing does not change: The concept that no single marketing strategy will be as effective as utilizing a blend of two or more marketing strategies. This does not mean that it is necessary to implement every known marketing strategy to promote your business; but rather, it implies that it’s worthwhile to market from a few different perspectives in order to help achieve business-related goals.

    In this article we will take a look at the viability, need and practicality of combining email marketing with other types of marketing to create a successful, multi-tiered marketing strategy and in addition, offer a few observations on managing more than one marketing strategy simultaneously in the hopes that they will prove useful to you in your Web marketing efforts.

    The adage

    There is an old adage which states that, “Two heads are better than one,” and this could certainly be applied to a multi-pronged approach to Web marketing; because although you may enjoy a great deal of success with your current email marketing efforts it does not mean you should refuse to try other types of Web marketing strategies such as, website creation, participation in industry-related message boards, placing banner ads on your website(s), orchestrating an affiliate marketing campaign and generating inbound links to .

    It is important to keep in mind that, while the possibility exists that not all of these strategies will be effective for your business, the liklihood that at least one other option which complements your email marketing will help you to achieve your business-related goals. But there is only one way to actually test the blend of marketing types, and that is to test each one in a methodical fashion simililar to the kind of “split testing” that proved to be so effective for many marketers a decade or so ago, and is still utilized by marketers to evaluate the effectiveness of their marketing strategies.

    The offline factor

    Alternately you even wish to combine your email marketing campaign with more traditional marketing strategies such as radio ads, television ads and the print media. Let’s face it, just because these types of advertising do not take place the Web does not mean they will be ineffective in helping you generate more business and profits.

    In fact advertising both online and offline can allow you to reach a larger audience to which you can target your advertising. This is especially true in view of the fact that you can reach Web users around the world, but reaching potential customers who do not utilize the Web for purchasing or researching products or services similar to the ones you offer can only be accomplished using offline marketing strategies.

    A powerful statement

    Popular marketing strategies to combine with email marketing include banner ads and message board participation, but these are all online activities and each one individually is fairly simple. However, in combination these simple activities can create a powerful statement, in the sense that when you send out emails offering useful information about your products or services, while simultaneously purchasing banner ad space on with content which may also be of interest to your potential customers, you can earn the respect and pique the interest of potential customers.

    Furthermore, let’s say you add a third marketing strategy like participation in industry-related message boards. When done right this could well be a powerful representation of your business, even if your potential customers are not currently in need of the products and services you offer; because seeing your business name so often will most likely have a branding effect that is credible and positive in their minds. And branding, which is essentially a process during which consumers see a company name so often that they are more likely to select a product from this company when they are in need of an item the company offers, will go a long way in boosting your reputation and customer base.

    The caveat emptor mindset

    Of course you must approach your experiment in blending marketing strategies with a “Caveat Emptor” mindset, because if you are planning to combine multiple forms of advertising, you should be aware that this might involve a degree of difficulty when evaluating the effectiveness of each marketing strategy.

    This difficulty is especially true when the marketing strategies are implemented simultaneously. When using only one type of marketing strategy, you can generally attribute increases in sales or traffic to changes in the marketing strategy. However, when more than one type of marketing strategy is in effect, determining which strategy is producing the most success can be quite difficult.

    Methodical work

    But remember, this experiment must be done in a careful and methodical manner. Meaning that the best way this situation can be handled is by not making changes to more than one marketing strategy at a time. By doing so you will be able to pinpoint which changes produce an increase in sales or traffic. The methodical approach can also help you to determine when changes to your marketing strategy have a detrimental effect on your sales and traffic. However, if you are having difficulty determining which marketing strategy is most effective you can consider asking customers to answer survey questions and provide information as to how they learned about the products or services your business offers.

    I recently viewed a video in which the presenter said, “there are two things you need to do in order to make money online. The first is to to promote and sell, and the second is to find an audience…” (a market) to sell that product (in this case product refers also to service) to. With that in mind the product can be your own which you developed and created yourself, or belonging to someone else, in which case you can get authorization from that person/vendor to promote and sell the product as an affiliate and get paid a percentage of the sale in the form of a commission.

    The first part of this equation – finding a product to sell – has been made exceedingly easy over the two decades since the introduction of digital products – created and made available – via the WWW (World Wide Web), so anyone looking for can take his/her pick from among the vast numbers available in the eCommerce marketplace. It is the second part of the equation and all the various aspects of finding an audience, as well as the inherent challenges that must be dealt with in pursuading – friendly, though it may be – that audience to buy a product from you.

    Traffic to your

    Of course it is understood in most marketing circles that the first step in finding an audience is getting exposure for your product, which is another way of saying attracting Internet users, also referred to as traffic to your website or product page

    In order to achieve this most basic of goals many Web marketers advertise their utilizing some of the more popular advertising resources such as Google AdWords, Facebook Ads, and Bing/Yahoo! Ads, while others utilize the more economical methods like Traffic Exchanges, Link Exchanges and Email Marketing Campaigns. A third category of website owner relies on their own SEO techniques and formatting directly on their sites to induce the search engines to place their site on the SERPs (search engine results pages) which they expect would gain the site maximum exposure.

    The conversion principle

    It is important to point out at this juncture that whether a owner succeeds in getting traffic that is costly, economical or free s/he must still convert that traffic into an audience that knows, trusts and likes who s/he is and what s/he represents (reputation and credibility) before that audience will buy a product s/he is promoting and selling. Therefore certain steps must be taken by the website owner in order to achieve this goal.

    This is where the importance of conversion rates comes into play, along with the steps needed to convert visitors into buyers, and the skill with which to adebtly initiate and execute the conversion process. It is only then that a website owne, Web marketer, product owner or any other entity attempting to promote and sell a product that s/he will be successful in doing so.

    The cold, hard cash factor

    In the Ebook, 110 Bite-Sized Tips to Boost Website Conversion Rates, the author states that, “A lot of factors are involved with ensuring that visitors click on, and then actually buy items they see. There are many things you can do to get the most conversion rates possible which means those website views and random clicks actually turn into cold, hard cash (otherwise known as sales).” It is in the manner of this approach that an affiliate marketer or product owner shoud view the traffic that s/he manages to attract to a website or product page.

    It is possible however, that many do not devote enough time and/or attention to this important aspect of selling products, while others simply ignore it altogether. If you are a member of either group today might just be your lucky day, because TPJaveton WebNet is giving away a free Bonus copy of the Ebook, 110 Bite-Sized Tips to Boost Website Conversion Rates, which will be a big help to you in your efforts to convert traffic into buying customers and money in your pockets.

  • Subtlety in Email Marketing: Golden!

    Easily misconstrued

    Consistently, everyday users of the Web receive tons of emails telling them to buy certain products or visit particular websites; and while these emails arrive in the inboxes of unsuspecting Web users each and every day, most of them devote very little attention to such emails. The reason for such inattention is that emails which can be construed as, or simply are, blatant advertisements have often been viewed as spam and will continue to be viewed as spam until email marketers and the businesses that send them clean up their act.

    Let’s face it, most users of the Web have very little tolerance for spam; and for good reason, given that spam has been outlawed (See CAN-SPAM Act), and spammers have therefore developed the most sinister of reputations when compared to any other Web-based entities, except scammers (those who actually set out to engage in outright theft). Reactions to spam tend to range from simply ignoring the emails and having spammy email addresses blocked to reporting those emails to their Internet service providers for further investigation.

    We realize that many Web marketers have difficulty keeping their email marketing subtle, and therefore run the risk of being mistaken for spam; so in this article we will provide what we hope will be some useful information on how email marketing can be kept subtle so as to avoid it being viewed as spam. But more importantly, we want to provide enough thought-provoking points, aspects and norms associated with email marketing to help you formulate some of your own ideas that will ultimately keep you clear of suspicion in your own email marketing efforts.

    High quality content

    One of the most important criteria for ensuring that your email marketing is subtle and therefore not be viewed as spam, is to provide content which can be viewed as valuable or of high quality to subscribers and recipients of your emails. This may include insightful articles, interesting quizzes or other useful facts which members of your target audience are likely to find useful. When email recipients realize an email they received is offering them something worthwhile, such as knowledge or information about a particular niche subject, they are much more likely to spend some time reviewing the email since they will not likely consider it spam.

    In addition to using the creation of this copy to convince recipients that the email is not spam, the marketers and business owners can also take advantage of the copy by providing subtle advertising which may include product references in the articles or links to your website throughout the email.

    Keep ad & link density low

    While providing such links and product references it is important to avoid packing each paragraph with such instances of product references and links, which obviously defeats the purpose. Think in terms of keyword density and the avoidance of packing a website article with keywords to attract search engines, but end up having the reverse effect. Same applies to link density and readers.

    Avoiding language which makes outrageous claims can also help to keep advertising quite subtle, as using superlatives and describing the greatness of specific products will likely be viewed as blatant advertising. When this happens, it is unlikely that website owners, readers and subscribers will believe there is validity in anything contained within the emails because they will deem the entire email to be simply one big advertisement for your products or services.

    Using the third-party technique

    Another way to keep advertising subtle when running an email marketing campaign is to only send your email to those who are likely to be extremely interested in your products and services. This is important because when email recipients receive an email which does not reflect their interests at all, they are not likely to take the email serious and may view the email as a blatant and unwanted advertisement.

    However, when the email is only sent to those who share a common interest, the message seems more personalized, in which case the email recipients are not likely to view every product reference as a blatant advertisement and understand there is sometimes a need to mention products or services.

    Keep in mind that email marketing remains subtle when the content of a message is written as though it is not coming directly from the business owner. In other words, the copy may speak about products and services as though they are being offered by a third party. This technique makes the advertising seem more subtle because it does not appear to be coming directly from the Web marketer or business owner.

    This approach is one of the most effective in the sense that the sender does not give his/her recipients the impression that s/he is selling them something; and you know how people hate to be sold… anything. So it may be a good idea to learn the third-person technique, practice it, and use it in your email marketing campaigns.

    In conclusion…

    Finally I will leave you with the idea that you, the business owner, can help to ensure your email marketing effortsensure your email marketing efforts are not viewed as blatant advertisements (or spam) by keeping references to your own website to an absolute minimum. Most Web users often view links from one website to another strictly as an advertisement, and it is for this reason that most business owners who are marketing via an email campaign may find it worthwhile to keep links to a minimum and carefully weave these links into the most quite benign copy.

    The links should be provided as though they were only included to provide readers and subscribers with an opportunity to learn more about the products and not being included as a way to encourage them to purchase any products. It might also be worthwhile to consider hiring a writer with this type of experience and expertise to ensure that your copy conveys the desired message and has the desired effect on your email subscribers and other such recipients.
