A bum marketing article that SUCKS! June 11, 2008

Recently I got a bum marketing article from one of the clickbank producers. I was SHOCKED!! Can’t really believe what I was reading…

Sometimes using strong wordings in an article can be quite effective, but it works only when you use it at the right place, at the right tone, and to the right person. Frankly, I’m not the kind of person who can be ordered to do things. The thing that shocked me so much is that the writer ORDERED me to buy something because THIS MAKES HIM  MONEY as well! He was actually trying to tell the reader that it will also apply to them if I buy his products. Will you be convinced? I’m not.

This rediculous article makes me remember when I first decided to start an affiliate business, I have these questions in my mind, especially after some days without sales:

• Why some products can make a lot of sales, some don’t?
• What are the products that can make me money?
• Why some articles can convince others, some don’t?
• What are the keywords that can help sales?
• How to put these keywords in good orders so as to boost sales?
• Why some affiliates make $1000/day, but some $1000/month?

Maybe you also have the same questions, or maybe you don’t. But if you believe it is because the world is unfair or because you are unlucky, I am here to tell you it is not true! 

There are two main decisions to make when you started to bum market something: “What are the keywords?” and “How to organize these keywords?” Remember a few months ago, I accidentally get across with Kyle and Carson (a.k.a the Wealthy Affiliates) on the internet, from then on my sales started to boost.

One of their sites Beating Adwords gave me the answers to the above and many more questions. I am not guaranteeing you that you will be rich right after reading their information, afterall online marketing is the fruit of your hard work. However, to harvest juicy fruits instead of normal ones, there must be some way to farm! Beating Adwords will be your secret receipe to make this happen!

2. How to pick products that make SALES!
3. What are the keywords that can help you sell, boost your sales and make your money worthy to invest!
4. Most importantly, how to make $1000 or more per DAY!

9 Secret Tips on SEO DIY June 6, 2008

SEO, Search Engine Optimization, a word you must get yourself familiar with when you want to start your online affiliate business. In online marketing, SEO is a very important technique so as to increase the traffic of your website and thus get more sales in return. These techniques, Google and Yahoo! would like to hide from you as otherwise you will not pay them for any advertisement any longer. These tips on the other hand will help you to have your website get on top of the list in search engines! I.e. To have your cost of advertising reduced to zero! Therefore, the more you can master the SEO, the greater profit you can get.

Here I am going to introduce you 9 easy tips on SEO.

Tips #1- SEO your Keywords
This is the most common and most understood step, the theory is similar to the one I stated in the article Keys to start Bum Marketing. Keywords are the keys for search engines like Google and Yahoo! to look for relevancy between a search word and a website. When a user type “SEO” in a search engine, the site with the most “SEO” keywords will be ranked first. However, you must bear in mind that if you put “SEO” in irrelevant place of a website, you will be classified as cheater and may affect the reputation of your site.

Tips #2 – SEO the wordings in your website!
You may find that when you search for, e.g. “SEO”, the results shown will have “SEO” highlighed in Bold and words with similar meaning, e.g. “Search Engine Optimization” will also appear and highlighted in Bold! So other than the exact keywords you should use frequently in the content, you can use words with the same or similar meaning.

Tips #3 – SEO your DOMAIN NAME!
Domain name is the address of your website, it is unique and if it is taken by someone else, you cannot use it anymore. It is thus reasonably become a criteria for search engine to search for. You may wonder that most of the single words domain names are registered, e.g. umbrella.com, but umbrella.com.cn; umbrella.com.tw; umbrella.com.fi, etc etc. will also be classified as “umbrella” keywords related. So, if you have a name that is representative enough to the products or services you want to provide, register it ASAP! SEO your DOMAIN NAME!

Tips #4 – SEO your domain name with the preference of the Search Engines!
You may heard that search engines have special preferences, it is true! Google.com comparing with Google.com.cn or Google.com.jp, they all have different preferences. Let’s say Google.com.hk, it is a google especially for people from Hong Kong, so if your target customers are from the States, don’t register your domain with a service provider from Hong Kong or China, register it with a service provider from the states, e.g. GoDaddy

Tips #5 – SEO your images included in your website!
You may be surprised, search engines actually do search for the relevance of the image names you’ve given to the pictures included in your website. Remember Google has a function for you to search only pictures? That’s how they do it, so put the link of your pictures with the name of keywords! For example: http://www.seo.com/seo.html

Tips #6 – SEO your HTML code!
There are many new ways to write your website, FrontPage; DreamWeaver; Java, etc. However, HTML is the most commonly used programming language to be used by search engines.

A. Title – Title appear on the browser of your site “<title>”
Title is different from the Heading of the page, take a look at the top left hand corner of the browser of this page, it says “Work Less, Play Hard”, which is the title of this page. You can also make use of this space to include your keywords and thus increase findability and traffic. Usually title is embraced by the title html code
e.g. <title>Secret Tips of SEO</title>

B. Headings – The code started with “<h>”
The theory is similar to writing a passage, your heading must be related to the content. That’s how the search engine follow this logic. So try this out:
e.g. <h>Keywords</h>

C. Paragraph – The started with “<p>”
This function is to wrap up the text in the website, search engines will use this to find relevancy. So, put something relevant in your text wrapped by “<p>”.
e.g. <p>SEO is important to Internet Marketer</p>

D. Image Alt – Related to Tips #5
As mentioned before, pictures in your website will also be searched, so you can put the link of a pic with the name related to the keywords. By using html code, you can do something more. Use <IMG alt=”???”>.
e.g. <IMG src=”x.jpg” alt=”SEO”>

Tips #7 – SEO and update your website!
We all know that information 8 years ago may not be as useful as information now, at this moment, at this second. Search engines also look for hints on how often a website is being update and determine how relevant that site content. Then how can search engines know how update a website is? The answer: the HTTP Header! This information is created by the server when you update your site, so search engines will check with HTTP Header and see if your information is updated.

Tips #8 – SEO your peer websites! (Part I)
The Internet is full of links, you can link your site to others, or others can link your web with theirs. If most of your peer websites are with bad reputation, your site will also be classified as a bad websites! Even if they are not classified as “bad”, with irrelevant connection will also confuse the search engine assessing your relevance with the keywords. So if you want someone to have link with your websites, let them know how you would like to relate with different keywords, you can consider using tags.

Tips #9 – SEO your peer websites! (Part II)
This part is about how you link your websites with others. The most popular way to do this is to link your website with others with the same keywords, e.g. some websites that is specifically designed to compare different companies selling similar products. Then comes the question of how do you know if a website you want to link with is a good “friend” with high traffic? Try the Google PageRank and find out!

See, search engines are clever machines and they do follow a logic, so stick with the logic. It is just like any types of games, it has all types of rules, if you comply with the rules of the game, then you’ll get to the top of the list in search results. This will for sure reduce the cost of your adverstising your site and generate traffic and income! If you think the above SEO method is inadiquate, check this out for further information.

Keys to start BUM MARKETING June 4, 2008

Ok, now you have your affiliate products, you can use your blog to promote, this is great! What? The traffic is not high enough? The income you generate from your blog is not as high as you thought? Don’t worry, here comes the “BUM MARKETING”.

Bum Marketing is a great approach for you to promote you products, it is especially good when it costs zero money. It is thus very popular among affiliates to follow on the Internet. Bum Marketing means you write about the products on the Internet, the way to write it can differ, but one thing in common is the use of KEYWORDS. Keywords are the keys for search engines to look for your article, the more relevant keywords, the higher probability of being found in search engines.

As you see, google or yahoo! these search engines have special flavours, just like human, they have preference for websites, e.g. for ezinearticles.com, as there are so many relevant articles being posted, the chance for it to be found is also higher. I’m not sure what your blog is about, but for one article, I’m sure you can write it with the relevant keywords as long as you can read and write.

So what are the keywords? The most common keywords are “How to” and “tips on”, many people write on different topics providing so many different tips and ways. Then the second types of keywords are those highly related to the topic you’re writing about, e.g. “Internet Marketing” for this blog post.

On the other hand, do not post your article only in one blog or web, you should post the article to different websites so that more people can read it. (Though I highly recommend you to re-write some of the content for articles post to different webs.)

The third thing is to post it in websites like del.ici.ous and digg, where people can help you to spread your articles. Afterall, you’re just sharing something you think is good, right? Don’t be shy to tell others.

To conclude, remember the following keypoints:

• Keywords – use keywords to increase your findability
• Write, write and write – don’t be satisfied to have 1 articles posted, you need more people to view and buy
• Market your article – use word of mouth to market your article

How to Promote your Affiliate Business? June 3, 2008

Affiliate Program, is a program for Internet users to sell certain products and thus earn commissions in return. Internet is a great tool to reach different markets, if you are a producer, you’d love to have your products being sold to different parts of the world. However, there maybe budget constraint to hire so many sales from different parts on the planet, so affiliate program is a win-win to both producers and affiliates.

If you are really interested in this type of online business, go to Google, search for keywords like “Affiliate Networks” then you will find many sites regarding this, if you’re still not sure which one to choose, go to this website, they have a comprehensive comparison of most of the affiliate networks.

Actually, I believe looking for an affiliate network is not the difficult part for starting an affiliate business, but the part afterwards. Think about it, now you the products to promote, the question comes: “HOW to promote”? Most of the affiliate networks require members to have their own website or blog, so the first thing is to use your own site. This concept is very much similar to AdSense by Google. However, with Internet so flexible and powerful, there are many other ways for you to explore. Here, I’d like to introduce you to a reputable Internet Marketing website so you can broaden your knowledge in this field and make more business in return.

WealthyAffiliate.com (Price: US$29.95/month)
Wealthy Affiliate (WA) is created by Kyle and Carson in Sept 2005, dedicated to build this special website to teach people from the basic to advance knowledge on Internet Marketing. They provide most of the necessary tools for beginners to pick up step by step according to the 8-week action plan.

The good thing I like about this site is that their landing page is very different from many other affiliate programs. As you can compare, most of the traditional Internet Marketing websites presented in a very mysterious way, you will never know what exactly the site is about until you pay. I’m definitely not convinced by a site being so suspicious, even if they return my money if I am not satisfied with the content later. (What a waste of Time!) Wealthy Affiliate website has clearly stated what exactly their services are about, though the juicy part is left until you paid. (Isn’t it more reasonable?) Another credits for them is, they provide free guides, you can read through the information before you make your final decision, that’s fair enough if you are still not convinced. The third unique feature of this site is that Kyle and Carson will personally teach you how you can manage your campaign and Internet Marketing issues. Isn’t it great to have a real preson who can answer all your questions?
