Affiliate Marketing On Facebook – Quick Way To Drive More Traffic To Your Website!

Franck — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:19:28 +0000

I must say that I didn’t really jump on the facebook bandwagon yet, although I’m slowly getting there. All I have right now is my personal facebook page.

Today, I was thinking about doing affiliate marketing with facebook, and the first thing I will do is adding a facebook like button to my main affiliate marketing coaching website. If you know me, you know that I’m in the Internet marketing niche and that I promote affiliate products (only good stuff) in the backend.

I will experiment with a facebook like on my homepage (affiliate marketing coaching) and see if my monthly traffic actually increase.

How does the facebook “like” button works?

When someone clicks on the facebook “like” button on your page, it will be automatically added in his wall, and in his friend news feed, with a link back to your site. It’s a super easy way to get more traffic. It’s powerful because it’s more like a recommendation, and his friends may eventually click on the link to find out what more about your site. I know this works because I done this recently. I visited someone’s page, and I followed the links that he liked.

How to add a facebook like button to your website?

This is super easy, and if a tech dummy like me can do it, you can do it too…

1. Go to this page: add a facebook like button

Note: Don’t add the share button because it has been “replaced” with the like button.

2. Configure your button to get the code and add it on your website (it’s step 1). There’s nothing to d0 (I just unchecked the “send” and “show faces” boxes), and click “Get code” when you are done.

3. Follow the instruction in the pop up box

It’s super easy. Once you click “get code”, you will be able to choose between 3 options. I chose the old “html”, and then added the piece of code after my webpage’s tag , and I’ve also added the “like” button code.

I then uploaded my new home page, and I clicked on the like button (yes, I do like my site!). then, I opened my own facebook page, and my site was there. I was pretty surprised that only a few minutes after I refresh the page, I already had 4 likes! Great, people actually like my site.

Now, you can also see how many “likes” you get every day when you add your website at Facebook Insights. Before it works, you will need to add another small piece of code to your website.

Tip: I think that Google will be sad (they don’t really like the fact that facebook took millions of users who should normally be on Google…) I am going to do the same thing with Google Plus. I think Google gives more weight to your website if you add their “Google +” button as well!

Lesson: How Often Should You Post To Your Blog?

Did you create your affiliate blog yet?

If not, do it right now, read the previous lesson to create your affiliate blog (open in a new window): How to Create your blog with blogger or wordpress

If you already took action and created your great blog, make sure that you create a new post every single day. In fact, you just need to do this for three full months (after that, three posts per week will be enough).

When you post every single day, Google will see your blog as a valuable source for your market, and as a result, the search engines will send a lot of traffic your way.

Later on, we are going to talk about choosing the right keywords to get even more traffic. But for now, just write about my Online Paycheck Blueprint product.

Below is a link to several of my own articles. You can even choose by categories (at the bottom of the page)

You will need rewrite these articles on your own words, because if you are lazy and decide to copy and paste, it won’t work (I mean that you will not get all the traffic). You need to rewrite them, it’s not that difficult.

Make sure to add your Online Paycheck Blueprint affiliate links in your blog posts, and at the end, in your bio box.

This works whether you have your own hosted WordPress blog, or a free blogger blog. What is important is to add valuable content and driving traffic.

It works like this:

CONTENT + TRAFFIC = AFFILIATE COMMISSIONS

Your blog post should be 300 word long, it doesn’t need to be a long post, but what’s important is to add value to your readers. A good idea is to create some tips for your reader like Patrice (my first online mentee ever) did on his blog at Learn French Online

Blogs are powerful because your readers don’t have the impression to be sold.

Remember: People hate being sold to, but they like to buy.

YOUR HOMEWORK:

Write a new blog post a day.

Why?

Because you will start receiving traffic to your affiliate blog.

Search engines absolutely love blogs, and the more you post, the more visitors Google and other search
engines will send your way.

Remember: to make money with affiliate marketing, you need a LOT of targeted traffic.

Blogging is one way to drive traffic to your affiliate offer, and we are going to cover tons of other traffic generation techniques.

Siphon List Building Review – Make Money In 3 Ways With This Viral List Building Trick!

Franck — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:00:07 +0000

Siphon List Building is really an amazing 5iphon Hardcore viral list building system.

I’ve just stumbled upon a powerful viral list building system called 5iphon Hardcore (for Siphon). Bryan Winters is the man behind this incredible system, and I can tell you that this is one of the best list building products in 2011.

Amazing list building trick will send you up to FIVE more autopilot subscribers for every new subscriber you get. Click HERE to learn more

In fact, this is a must have for beginners who want to build their list fast. And the best thing is that you don’t even need a website. All you have to do is to sign up at Siphon List Building and the Siphon team will give you a free landing page.

Siphon List Building Review

How the Siphon list builder website works?

The siphon extreme system is pretty simple. All you need to do to start is to become a siphon free member, or upgrade to the extreme premium member status.

As a free member, you will receive a free landing page (they will give you a referral link so you can send people to your landing page), and then, you will have to send traffic to your page. The more traffic you send, the more subscribers you get.

The first five subscribers who optin through your landing page will be added in the autoresponder of the siphon extreme member who sent you to his own landing page.

I know it’s not easy to understand (frankly, I didn’t get it the first time…), so I’ll try to say it differently.

1 – Marketer A sent you to his siphon landing page.
2 – You sign up as a free siphon member
3 – You grab your referral link (so you can send people to your own landing page)
4 – You start driving traffic to your website
5 – You start getting subscribers
6 – The FIRST FIVE subscribers will be automatically added in Marketer A’s list
7 – From subscriber number six, every subscribers will be added to your own list.

Now, it becomes very interesting for those who decide to upgrade…

When you become a siphon extreme (premium) member, you can:

A – Choose to send subscribers who optin through your page on any of your landing page immediately after they optin.

B – You will earn a monthly commission for any subscriber who decide to upgrade to siphon extreme status.

You have three different ways to earn with the siphon system:

* 5iphon Hardcore Money Maker Way #1: You build your own list (with an irresistible killer landing page)

* 5iphon Extreme Money Maker Way #2: Visitors who buys from your own upsell (after they optin)

* 5iphon Hardcore Money Maker Way #3: Visitors who decide to upgrade to the Siphon EXTREME

Plus for every single subscriber you send to your landing page, you get five other subscribers.

Now, this is really powerful. In fact, you increase your list building efforts by 500% without any additional work on your part.

How powerful is that?

Do you remember when I told you that your first 5 subscribers were added to the Marketer A’s list? Well, when you refer new people in your landing page, and they decide to promote, you will also get their first five subscribers in your own autoresponder.

You need to know that not every subscribers who optin in your landing page will want to promote, but many of them will.

Do you see the power of the siphon Hardcore now?

Do you need other tools than your landing page?

Yes, you will need to get an autoresponder. The Siphon extreme currently works with two popular autoresponders (aweber, and get response). I use and recommend aweber, you can get it on my site by the way: affiliate marketing tools

Plus you will need to drive traffic to your website as well. Bryan Winters recommends buying solo ads and even gives you several resources to start right away. He also recommends ad swaps.

How to drive traffic to your siphon landing page?

I do use solo ads and ad swaps to drive traffic to my websites, and I can affirm that you will get subscribers if you choose this route. Plus you can also drive traffic with the other proven traffic generation strategies like article marketing, forum marketing, blogging (with blog comments and guest blogging), banner advertising and banner exchange, pay per view, pay per click, facebook, twitter and other social media websites. Oh, I almost forgot youtube and other video sites.

All these traffic generation method can add thousands of subscribers in your list, and help you to jumpstart your online business, so don’t delay and start today with the siphon hardcore method.

Affiliate Marketing Metrics – This Is What Makes Super Affiliates!

Franck — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:07:37 +0000

Do You Know Your Affiliate Marketing Metrics?

Click HERE to watch Lee’s Video

Knowing your affiliate marketing metrics will transform you from affiliate novice to super affiliate. Earning six figure a year with affiliate marketing is possible when you know your numbers.

It is important for you to know your metrics because whether you use free or paid traffic to make affiliate sales, you will have an edge over your competition.

The Affiliate Marketing Metrics Formula:

Below is the affiliate marketing metrics formula

- Traffic * Click Trough Rate (CTR) = Traffic to Merchant Site
- Traffic to Merchant * Merchant’s Conversion Rate (CVrate) = Nb Affiliate sales
- Nb of Affiliate Sales * (Product’s price * Commission Amount) = Total Affiliate sales

This is the formula that you absolutely need to have beside your laptop.

Now, I admit that even I’m giving you the formula, it may be difficult to apply it. For this reason, I decided to give you a concrete example…

Let’s say that you have a website with 3000 monthly visitors, and that 10% of the people who visit your site click on your affiliate link and land on your merchant’s site.

You’ll get:

- Traffic * Click Trough Rate (CTR) = Traffic to Merchant Site

3000* 10% = 300

That means that you send 300 visitors per month to the merchant’s site.

Then, let’s say that the merchant’s conversion rate is 2%.

You’ll get:

- Traffic to Merchant * Merchant’s Conversion Rate (CVrate) = Nb Affiliate sales

300 * 2% = 6 Affiliate sales

And finally, if the product costs $45 and you get 75%.

You’ll get:

- Nb of Affiliate Sales * (Product’s price * Commission Amount) = Total Affiliate sales

6 * ($45 * 75%) = $202.50

That means that for 3000 visitors per month, you will make $202.50 with this site.

Just build 5 sites like this one, and you’ll earn $1,012.50 per month.

Why is it important for you to know this affiliate marketing formula?

The answer is because you will be able to know how much you will make whenever you create a new affiliate marketing site.

But what is even more important is that you will be able to IMPROVE your marketing efforts and INCREASE your sales.

Whenever you want to make more money, all you need is to increase one of these metrics.

You can improve the following:

1. Traffic (Add more traffic strategies)

As an example, instead of getting 3000 visitors, you can get 4000 visitors per month.

2. CTR (Learn how to create better converting pages)

You can manage to get a CTR of 15%.

3. Your Commission (Choose another product)

You can choose a higher priced product.

List of 5 Best WordPress Plugins For Your Blog

Peter — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 08:50:46 +0000

If you are a blogger at least for the last two years, you would know just how much better WordPress has become. In fact you wouldn’t be wrong to call it a very good Content Management System although credit should be given to the WordPress development team for doing such a great job.

For most people WordPress is the most suitable blogging platform to use because it is so easy to install and because of the many powerful plugins that you can find free and available for upload anytime.

Well here’s 5 WordPress plugins that I always used as they help to make all my blogging tasks run like clockwork taking away the real work but keeping the fun. It’s allowed me to grow my affiliate marketing business to what it is today.

1. Your blog readers like getting information fast….

Search Everything – Your new blog reader comes to your blog for a reason and that is to find something that he has just searched for in Google or other search engines. When he lands on your blog how fast he gets to see this information probably depends on how fast you also puts him in front of your products or services that you are promoting on your blog.

This WordPress plugin provides this visitor a search utility which allows him to perform searches on all your previous posts. This plugin written by Dan Cameron, makes it easy for your visitors by giving them more search options and bringing them to the searched pages, attachments, comments, and custom fields.

2. Engaging your readers in your current projects and conversations….

Subscribe to Comments – This plugin works well by allowing your visitors to comment on your blog post, and provide an opportunity to subscribe to e-mail notifications of other people’s subsequent comments. Mark Jaquith, wrote this plugin which also allows your visitors to unsubscribe from any posts or block all notifications, or change e-mail addresses.

3. Saying thank you to your new readers to your blog….

Comment Relish- is a simple WordPress plugin written by Justin Shattuck that automatically sends an e-mail message to any of your new readers who have just commented on your blog for the very first time. Many people would be happy to receive a “thank-you for coming to my blog” message and may even become your repeat visitor to your blog by using the RSS you put on this default email.

4. Giving your readers a way to communicate with you…..

Contact Form: To be a successful blogger or Internet Marketer, the key to this success is that you must make yourself available to your prospective customer or business partner. Be contactable at all times and always reply to anyone who asks you a question. It could be business related or even be some other help they are asking. Putting up a simple contact form visibly on your blog help to achieve this purpose.

5. Don’t underestimate the little things your put on your blog….

Bookmark Me: If you have taken the trouble to write a good, interesting post, wouldn’t you like it to be seen and read by as many people as possible? Then a good way to reach out to more people is to allow your readers to bookmark these pages that they like at social bookmarking sites such as Twitter, Del.icio.us, Technorati, StumbleUpon. Simple yet very powerful method.

Discover How I Get Unstoppable Free Targeted Traffic To My Blog

Peter — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 14:27:59 +0000

Generating targeted traffic to your blog is really not that difficult if you take the trouble to learn how to effectively do this. However if you want to see any measure of success, you must be prepared to commit your time and effort to learn and master simple, yet proven techniques of traffic generation.

Here are a few simple techniques that you can immediately start with:

1. Update your blog regularly

Ask yourself if you preferred to visit a blog that has been regularly updated with interesting and useful contents or are you happy to visit one that looks like an abandoned blog. Well of course you would choose the former. Frequent updates on your blog helps to build a relationship with your readers who will come back for more knowing that there will be fresh content being added.

2. Tag your Posts

Tags that you add on your blog posts work quite like any other links and they are quickly found by the search engines. They also help more people find your blog when they perform searches in many of the popular blog search engines that matched any of your tags. In other words if used correctly they can help to bring more traffic to your blog whenever you post new contents.

3. Search Engine Optimization

Many new bloggers can get quite overwhelmed by the work involved in Search Engine Optimization. While we agree some of the work takes a fair amount of time like learning and following a link building strategy that works for their business, there are also a few things that can be easily done. For example, you could learn how to optimize your web pages or blog posts so that the major search engines can find them easily. Write relatively long articles and focus more on writing theme content using LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords. This is an excellent way to get more targeted traffic due to the many long tail keywords Google finds in your content.

Beat the Problem Why 95% Internet Marketers Failed Their Online Business

Peter — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 10:44:03 +0000

It does not matter if you are an affiliate marketing expert earning big bucks or a new Internet Marketer struggling with too much information, too little time. There are 5 very important principles of Internet marketing that you should be aware of to keep yourself in the right path to success.

There are many online marketers who ignored these principles and paid dearly for that by quitting their business early, adding to the statistics of about 95 percent failure rate for new startup online business. It would be ashamed if you were to let this happen to you too especially if you have spent so much time and effort on your new found business. This article will help you understand just what it takes to achieve success and know what kind of obstacles you have to overcome before getting there.

The First Principle: Patience

It’s probably not your best virtue but for the success of your business, you do need lots of patience. Finding success and generating a regular online income do not happen overnight. Building a business from scratch takes time just as in any other businesses too including the traditional ones. Knowing this helps in your mental strength and learning process as you won’t lose interest at the slightest onset of disappointments and setbacks in your Internet Marketing journey. The road to success is never a smooth one.

The Second and Third Principles: Persistence and Perseverance

Many marketers lose heart at the slightest kind of difficulty. They complain about all the laborious tasks they need to do and when they don’t see any positive results, they simply abandon the work they have been taught to do. Many of these marketers started an online business with the wrong mindset that it is easy and making money is a forgone conclusion. If you have such thinking, you have to change your mindset immediately and expect to work really hard before seeing any positive results.

The Fourth Principle: Prepare Your Website For the Search Engines

As an online business owner, you are expected to learn some basic search engine optimization skills. Then apply this knowledge continuously in getting your website well optimized, more relevant, and friendly to both the human visitor and the Google bots. You will learn too that getting free organic traffic is vital to your business because without traffic, there can be no sales. Proper SEO helps you rank high in the search engines so as to maximize your website traffic.

The Fifth Principle: Write Articles

The fifth principle is learning to publish many articles. Writing and publishing articles both for your website as well as external article directories is one of the most effective ways to increase traffic to your website. It also generates lots of one-way incoming backlinks to your website which in turn helps you rank higher in the search engines and thereby giving you even more traffic.

How Do You Create Your Own Affiliate Product?

Peter — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 03:02:53 +0000

If you are a serious affiliate marketer, you really should consider creating your own affiliate product. When you finally make this happen, you know it’s going to let you take one giant step to another level of success in your Internet Marketing journey. But what does it take to create your very own affiliate product?

1. Finding a Need

You don’t wake up one morning to decide you are going to spend the next few hours to create a nice product to sell. Well it takes a lot more planning than that. It has to start with finding a need that people want or demand in your niche. The best place to be doing that is to visit your top forums to get some vibes on what are the liveliest discussions, debates, suggestions and just what people are looking for. They often represent a good demographic of what most other people are looking for to satisfy a need or want.

Be prepared to join in these discussions and to pay attention to what these people are telling you. Essentially you are trying to fill a need, a missing puzzle if you may and a pressing demand from a big group of people. You certainly don’t want to misunderstand people since the information you are gathering will be serving the greater good. If you get it wrong, it would be a grievous mistake as you are going to create a product that nobody has any need for.

2. What is your goal?

Now after having in mind the product you want to create, the next step takes you through what your goal is for that new product. Most people who are serious marketers never put ‘making money’ as a goal in their first product if they have thoughts of creating more products in the near future. Instead, a good goal to target is to focus on branding yourself or to get a massive number of new subscribers.

Most successful marketers have learned from Internet Business Coaching to use their first product to plan for bigger things for their business to achieve long term success. Making money on the first product is never that important. It may be this reason that in the first very affiliate program, more commission is given to affiliates to help the affiliate marketer attain these goals that he has set for himself.

3. Outsource your work

Most people get the wrong idea that when someone creates a new product he has to be responsible for anything and everything necessary to finish that product – a cradle to grave involvement. No, that is not true and you are free to outsource whatever work that you feel other people can do the job better or faster especially if it’s a little technical to you. For example you can’t make a software program even if you wanted to as that belongs to someone with the right skill and creativity to get that part of the product done. Your job however is to keep the costs down so that your final product remains affordable to all of your customers.

4. Your Product Launch Date

Once you size up the amount of work involved to put your first product together, you should determine how much time is needed to accomplish all the various tasks. Remember that you assumed responsibility for the whole project and you have to manage all the people who have been tasked all the different jobs you had assigned. Meeting the product launch date is very important because you would have communicated this date to all your customers, JV partners and other prospects.

Final Thoughts

Your first product is important because you learn what is involved in creating new products for your business. Having your own affiliate programs allow you to recruit an army of affiliates selling your products and services and is a natural step to take to learn how to make big affiliate commissions.
