  • Mailing Lists: Vital to Affiliate Marketing

     

    If you are an active participant in the affiliate marketing business, you may also be in search of the best, most reliable tools and resources that will enhance your money-making ability. Understanding that your most important act as an affiliate marketer is referring prospects to product/service (‘product’) pages of vendors, merchants and advertisers (‘product owners’) in order to earn decent commissions, then you must consider building your own mailing list.

    It is advisable to develop your own mailing lists, as opposed to buying them, because when you create and and nurture your own mailing lists you would – in effect – be customizing them to your unique and specialized business and tendencies, as well as the line of products you prefer to market. For example, if you are knowledgeable in real estate, you’d probably be more comfortable marketing real estate-related products, instead of products related to automobiles.

    On the other hand, if you pay a reasonable price for mailing lists, it is quite possible that large portions of those lists might have have relevance to products unrelated to your area of expertise and therefore result in significant loss of interest in your discussions, marketing displays and products you offer to the members of those lists. Ultimately you end up losing money in more ways than one: What you paid for the lists; what you paid to advertise your affiliate products; and the value of your time.

    Building your own mailing list of hungry prospects can be one of the best investments you will ever make, as it is time and effort worth spending on. When you strike a Joint Venture deal with another marketer and have a new product or service to endorse, you can look no further than one of your own mailing lists as it relates to the particular product being promoted by the other marketer. That having been said, it is unlikely that you would enter a venture deal that is unrelated to any of your lists.

    There is a badly kept secret that most affiliates – as high as 90 percent of them – are not making money from affiliate programs; and in a majority of cases the reason for this can be summed up in two words: effort and skills. Unfortunately many affiliates devote too much effort to the least effective programs, and not enough to programs that work and pays really well, but take considerably longer to create and develop to the point where they become profitable. The “shiny objects” syndrome?

    While having your own mailing list is not, by a long shot, the only effective method for making money in affiliate marketing, an affiliate marketer can make affiliate sales very quickly (sometimes in a few hours) after sending a sales message to a mailing list, provided that it is a sizable, responsive and well developed list; but as stated before, this kind of list takes time to develop.

     

    Spending the time and money necessary to develop a mailing list (or mailing lists) is certainly time and money well spent because owning your own mailing list enables you to endorse products, an activity which is one of the fastest income-producing results in Internet marketing; beating out many other affiliate marketing methods, as you might imagine. In a nutshell, the affiliate marketer who gets ahead of the pack is the one who owns a huge and responsive mailing list of prospects.

  • Good Web Hosts Help Articles Make Money


    Choosing a good web hosting company is among the most important steps an affiliate marketer – who relies on articles (Article Marketer) – can take in keeping his/her website or product page up, and marketing costs down; and there are many Web hosting companies to choose from offering a variety of pricing plans for marketers to look over.

    Depending on the amount of sites an article marketer intends on building, s/he may want to consider a larger web space for long success, since larger a Web space will often carry a steeper discount off the price. That having been said, however, there is wisdom in testing the waters with a small space where there is uncertainty about procedures, technical skills and/or budgetary concerns in the early days of a marketing business, with the option of adding more space later on; but the marketer must make sure that this option is available.

    Uppermost on an article marketer’s list of ‘what makes a good Web Host’ is reliable service, but if s/he hasn’t much exposure to, or experience dealing with, the various Web hosting providers it may be difficult to determine which provider has the most reliable service; so under such circumstance s/he might have to rely on reviews, recommendations from friends, or awards earned by Web hosting providers in order to make an informed decision/choice.

    Reliability and reputation in a Web Host is important, because the lack of either characteristic can be devastating to any Web-based business, and probably more so for an article marketer, since it is almost certain that such marketers will face almost impossible odds in making money with articles in the offline world. So consider for a moment that you are the article marketer and your site is down or it takes too long to open when visitors are trying to get in and view your content; what would your visitors do?

     

    A natural tendency of such visitors in this circumstance will be to click away from your site and move on to the next one, and if this occurs too often, you can see how your chances of ever building a customer base, subscriber list or reliable readership will be greatly reduced. Furthermore, any readers you were fortunate to have visited your website likely not revisit in the future since they will remember the bad experience they had at your website.

    It is for this reason that some of the more established marketers who can afford it opt to host their business sites with the larger, more recognized hosting companies where you can check references for reliability and consistency in providing acceptable reliable service to the marketplace. On the other hand there are many small hosting providers that offer space for as low as $1.99 to $3.99 per month; however, you never know what you will be getting, and many of them want you to pay for at least a year’s worth in advance.

    The happy medium for a article marketing beginner is a Web Hosting company that offers the most reliable hosting at the most affordable prices; and such a gosting plan will be ideal for marketers who can create their own small sites – or have them created – and then find space for as low as $3 to $4 per month. However, if you need to choose a company that offers a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) website builder, then you will probably end up paying $10 to $15 per month for the smallest amount of space.

    Of course, if this is the only way in which you can build a site, then it is necessary to do it and get your business started. Keep in mind that some web hosting providers may also offer a deal on a yearly domain or other products when you make a web hosting purchase, so this is another consideration that could enter your decision-making equation.

    Ultimately, whatever web hosting provider you choose will depend on your individual needs and what you can afford; and hopefully you will be able to snap up a well-managed, reputable providerwell-managed, reputable provider that offers reliable Web hosting service at a low price with the option to upgrade your service as needed. Good luck!

  • Make Money by Letting Others Use Your Articles




    An integral part of article marketing is maximizing exposure for your articles, and one of the most effective ways of achieving this objective is letting others use your articles – which of course must include your byline telling visitors who wrote it and how they can contact you – on their websites.

    This single strategy will go a long way in helping you to promote your own website, thereby resulting in a significant number of visitors from other websites, as well as increased traffic via the search engines making the strategy doubly beneficial when search engine optimization and promotional efforts of others are combined.

    For you this means absolutely free advertising and improved marketing just for writing a quick (but engaging) article about a subject that you are already familiar with. Keep in mind that the more people who use your articles as content as their websites, the more potential traffic you will receive; and this helps you to reach your advertising (exposure) objectives.

    The webmasters upon whose websites your articles are being published will probably be using SEO techniques, banner exchanges, and possibly even a Pay-Per-Click campaign to get visitors to their affiliate site; and these advertising methods either take a lot of time, a lot of money – or both – but they will be absolutely free for you simply because you placed your articles where others can use them.

    There are many places on the Internet that offer to post your articles so that others may view and/or use them. These places are readily accessible and can be located via a quick search for “article sharing websites,” “article directories,” “ezines,” and other such terms, on Google or your search engine of choice (Bing, Yahoo!, etc.). This writer will suggest that articles be placed on every single one of these sites – while avoiding content farms/content mills – so that you can reach as many webmasters as possible.

     

  • Articles Must be SEO Optimized to Make Money




    One of the most important skills an article marketer – or affiliate marketer who relies on articles to drive traffic to a website or product page – must learn, is how to optimize the articles s/he writes. S/he must learn to use search engine optimization techniques, a significant part of which is keyword optimization, when writing those articles.

    SEO is important enough that even if the marketer is not an article writer, and intends on hiring a ghost writer to write articles, s/he should choose one who already knows about SEO or, should such a writer be unavailable, too costly or too busy, the marketer can hire a general topics writer and provide that writer with a list of keywords while letting him/her know where such keywords should be placed and how many times they should be repeated throughout the article.

    Optimizing your articles for search engines will help them rank higher when Internet users searche for a keyword relating to your subject, which means that you will receive more visitors because more people will actually see your website link, click that link and as a result, end up at your website.

    It is a fact that most visitors don’t look past the first search engine result page and by the third search engine results page there is practically no audience left for you to promote to. What this means for those beyond the third page is little to no traffic. This is why it is very important for you, if you rely on articles to run your business, to make sure your articles are prepared in a way that will end up, eventually, on that first or second search engine results page (SERP).

     

  • Free Article Content as Money-Making Resource

    Some webmasters (website owners and/or publishers) set out to make money by using articles from free content directories in the hope of attracting visitors to their website and product pages.

    Among webmasters who employ this tactic are those who have just begun working as affiliates for various companies and, as such, have little to no cash resources to purchase articles, although they need to build small niche websites to attract visitors and begin earning money.

    Although this can sometimes be the only option for those who are operating on an almost non-existent budget, it is not the most suitable way to effectively build your website or revenue.

    There are a few reasons why this is potentially detrimental to your business building efforts, and under these circumstances detrimental translates to predicament. Here are a number of problems that can result from using articles from free content directories.

    Predicament #1 – Search Engines

    Search engines will look down (frown) upon your site if it is found to have exactly the same (duplicated) content found on other sites; and the more sites that share your content, the less it will help you achieve good position on SERP (Search Engine Results Page) rankings.

    Good search engine rankings are essential in getting visitors to your site so that they have a chance to click on your affiliate links. If you cannot even attract visitors then will never make money; so working on the search engine optimization of your site so that you will eventually be high enough in the SERPs to get customers, should be priority one.

    Predicament #2 – Getting visitors to click

    Although getting your site high on search engine result pages and acquiring site visitors is hard work, unfortunately this is only half of the battle. You must also be able to convince those visitors to click on your affiliate links, and if your visitors see the same content they have seen on a number of other sites, they will be less likely to click on your links. This is because most people want to buy things that are recommended by people they consider trustworthy or whom they believe to be experts on the subject they’re writing about.

    If your content is just duplicated from other sites, you will be exposed as someone who does not really know what they are talking about and therefore will not look favorably on your product recommendations. This will reduce the number of website visitors who are willing to click through.

    Predicament #3 – Author Bylines

    Most free content is only given to you if you agree to place the authors byline under the article (you can get into trouble if you try to use it without following the stipulated rules) and this poses a problem because in the sense that most author bylines include links.

    Therefore when a reader gets done reading a really intriguing article, there is a strong possibility that they will click on the author’s byline link rather than your affiliate links.

    This is the entire reason why these authors offer free content to begin with, so that they can get their names and links out there to the public. Using this type of content may mean shooting yourself in the foot and losing any profits anticipated from your website visitors.

    Once you put these three problems together, you are looking at a serious decline in revenue simply because you used free website content from article directories. Although it may be the only option for some you should buy your own original content if you have the money to so.

    If, on the other hand, you don’t have the money, you may be better off writing your own content about a subject you are familiar with and then hiring professional services once you have made enough of a profit to work with.

  • Making Money with Article Writing Specialists

    Finding the right freelance writer to produce your revenue generating articles can take a bit of time; however, if you find one that can easily take on another regular client and the two of you work well together, then that one difficult search will have turned into a lot of profitable articles.

    When you start your search, you may want to begin with a very small group of articles, just in case you happen too hook up with a writer that you are less than thrilled with. It is important to keep in mind that there are several different types of writing and each writer might be highly skilled in one area, yet lack in another.

    For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical writing, news writing, general informational article writing, critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing, technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing, and sports writing.

    One thing you must keep in mind is the reality that because a writer may be highly skilled in one area, s/he might not be skillful in other areas despite the fact that many freelance writers spread themselves out into others areas anyway. So, it is critical that any writer you choose be cap[able of producing the type of content that you need.

    To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget. From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level.

    However it is important that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample. S/he may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.

    In conclusion, the more you are willing to pay per article, the more bids you will get from quality writers who know how to entertain and inform your website visitors so that they keep coming back for more. Writers know that you will eventually make a ton of money off each article or content piece.

    So although $30 or more for a 500 word article may seem like a lot, when you think about the service they are providing you, and the time and effort that they put into your piece, you will realize that it really is not a lot for that one article. If you pay for quality, you will be amazed at how much you will eventually make off of your articles.
