A Seven Days Absolute Strategies To
Make Your First Affiliate Sale
Introduction
If you're
an aspiring affiliate marketer looking to jumpstart your career by making your
first sale in as short as seven days, you've come to the perfect place!
Now here is
the thing ...
The technique you're about to learn is superior to any affiliate program you've ever seen. That's because many affiliate programs require you to burn through a high volume of leads - hot prospects you'll never see again.
While you
may make a sale (if you're lucky), you'll also risk losing hundreds, if not
thousands, of dollars in future revenue!
This is because many other programs require you to refer prospects to the vendor's website. And this means that the vendor is responsible for developing the prospect list... and all that's left are a few dollars that you pick up here and there - if you're lucky!
My strategy
is unique in that you'll be developing your list, cultivating your relationship
with that list, and pushing your affiliate product all at the same time.
As a
result, you can make your first sale quickly... and yet you'll be accumulating
a list of hot prospects to whom you may sell repeatedly for months, if not
years!
Thus, this is how it works:
1. Convince
individuals to join your list by offering a free report and a squeeze page.
2.
Construct a brief autoresponder series promoting your affiliate connection.
3. Promote
your squeeze page, which will help you grow your list and generate revenue!
The best
part is that you can accomplish all of this in just seven days - no joke!
Let us begin... but before then, if you have not seen my 100 top affiliate marketing strategies that brings massive affiliate income; I would advice you to study it as it contains practical examples on how to become a pro affiliate marketer. Its a free ebook, just for you.
LESSON GUIDE/OUTLINE
Day 1: Start a Valuable Free Report and a Landing Page
You cannot simply create an
email list and expect people to join — you must provide an incentive (a free
report) and a brief sales page that convinces them to subscribe immediately.
The first
step is to develop a valuable report, one that has a high perceived value.
Additionally,
it must be something that your prospects truly desire.
Tip: For
the sake of simplicity, I'll refer to a complimentary report across the
following pages. Alternatively, you might make a free audio or video to
distribute. If the affiliate product you're promoting is in video format, for
example, you'll know you're targeting the same target market if you offer your
freebie in video format as well.
Step 1: Determine Your Prospects' Desires
How do you
determine what they desire? Simple: Take a look at the products they are already
purchasing. You can bet that if they're paying for the material, they'll
gleefully devour whatever free information you supply on the same subject.
Now that
you're promoting an affiliate product, choosing a topic to write about becomes
much easier. Simply write a report that is directly relevant to the product you
are attempting to sell.
That is,
you supply useful knowledge... nonetheless, is insufficient unless and until
the prospect purchases the affiliate product.
1. Outline
the phases of a procedure – and perhaps include a few tips and techniques – but
the prospect must purchase the book to obtain the complete specifics.
Examples:
• You inform the prospect of the
steps necessary to establish a mailing list (sign up for an autoresponder,
compose an email series, write a free report, and construct a squeeze page),
but you do not provide detailed instructions on how to fulfill each of these
stages.
• You walk your prospects through
the process of disassembling and cleaning a carburetor on a classic Corvette,
but they must purchase the product to receive complete instructions with
images.
2. Provide
specifics on a single stage or portion of the process, but the prospect must
purchase the product to obtain all of the details.
Examples:
• You instruct a prospect on how to
troubleshoot a fuel-related issue in a classic car, but they must purchase the
book to learn how to resolve the issue.
• You instruct prospects on how to
write a captivating headline, but they must purchase a product to learn how to
write the remainder of the sales letter.
3. Simply
provide tips and techniques on the subject, but the prospect must purchase the
product to obtain the complete facts.
Examples:
• You're pushing a weight-loss
product, so you publish a free report titled "101 Tips for Losing Weight
Fast." It's informative, but lacking in detail.
• You're selling a copywriting
service, so you develop a paper titled "27 Ways to Increase the Response
Rate of Your Sales Letter... FAST! ”
When in doubt about what to write
about, consult the product's table of contents or sales letter.
Either of
these options will provide you with dozens of ideas for a complimentary report.
Choose one based on the things that your prospects appear to be most interested
in, such as what they are discussing on forums, blogs, and social media.
Now that
you've determined your subject, proceed to the next stage...
The
following step is to quickly outline your product, which will aid in the actual
writing process.
Tip: At this stage, you're likely to consider length.
There is no predetermined length - simply make it long enough to include all
pertinent information and concise enough to keep your readers engaged.
Obviously, this will vary according on your subject.
If you're
looking for a guideline, aim between 3000 to 6000 words, as this is an easy
read. You see, you want your prospects to read it all in one sitting, as you
will be pushing your affiliate link within.
Outlining
is straightforward. If you're constructing a step-by-step procedure, your
outline should include a list of the steps. If the report is a "tips"
one, then give a list of all the tips you wish to include. If you're writing
about a single step in a process, make a mental note of all the information
you'd like to include.
Tip: If assigning rough word counts to each area of
your outline helps you stay on track, you can even do so. For instance, if you
have four major sections, like in the following example, you can give
approximately 1000 words to each, plus 150-200 words to the introduction and
conclusion.
———————————————
A.
Introduce the notion of "AIDA" (attention, interest, desire, and
action) and how it relates to the components of a sales letter.
B. Pay
close attention (headline tips)
C.
Attractiveness (opener tips and introducing the product)
D. Desire
(key features / benefits of the product)
E. Taking
action (call to action, plus create a sense of urgency)
F. Summary
– restate the "AIDA" formula... followed by the promotion of your
affiliate link.
Promotional Example:
"You've
just finished reading the "Four Secrets to Writing a Killer Sales
Letter," and while this report will surely increase your response rate,
what you've learned about how to be a master of persuasion is only the tip of
the iceberg. To take your talents to the next level – of learn the keys to
convincing even the most resistant prospects to open their checkbook – you need
to get your hands on [AFFILIATE PRODUCT] by visiting [LINK].
Additionally,
if you order now, I'll throw in [NAME OF A RELATED FREE REPORT] for free!
Simply click here now for more information – but act quickly before this deal
expires! ”
———————————————
Step 3: Construct It
After
you've completed your outline, it's simply a matter of sitting down to write
the report.
Simply set
aside the morning to conduct any necessary research and then write each portion
of your report today. It won't be long if you concentrate!
As
mentioned previously, insert a promotion for your affiliate product at the
conclusion of the report. Additionally, you might mention it twice throughout
the report: once at the beginning and once in the middle.
Don't feel
like writing it yourself? Find a ghostwriter to accomplish it for you by
visiting elance.com, freelancer.com, odesk.com, or the WarriorForum.com
"for hire" section.
Once you've
completed your report, convert it to a PDF (using openoffice.org, Adobe
software, or another PDF printer) and upload it to your website. Then go to the
subsequent step...
Develop a
Landing Page
Your
squeeze page is essentially a little sales letter – approximately 400 to 500
words in length – that explains why your prospects should join your list.
The
following are the six primary components of your micro sales page:
1. The bold, large-font title that appears centered at
the top of your page serves only one purpose: to draw
attention. And it accomplishes this by emphasizing your primary benefit.
Examples:
• "Free Report Shows You How
to Look Ten Years Younger, Too!"
• "Why Won't My C3 Corvette
Start? Are You Under the Misapprehension That It's a Fuel Issue?
However,
You Are Uncertain? Now You Can Discover for Certain... Complimentary Report
Troubleshoots
All Carburetor and Fuel System Issues!
•
"EXPOSED: the Seven Surprising Secrets to Complete Weight Loss You
Desire... absolutely FREE! ”
2. While your title drew the prospect's attention, the first paragraph or two of your letter are aimed to pique the prospect's interest in both your message and your offer.
This can be
accomplished by posing a qualifying question, delivering a brief tale,
reminding the prospect of his discomfort, and/or expanding on the headline
benefits.
Examples:
• A sweaty hour at the gym combined with nocturnal
hunger pangs — you'd think the weight would melt away faster than desert snow.
However, Suzy had not shed a single pound...
• Are you fed up with being unable to fit into your
clothes? Are you ever ashamed of yourself when you look in the mirror?
• You're fed up with being obese. None of your
garments fit properly. You despise public appearances. And you're out of breath
after only one flight of steps.
Consider donning that small black number you own. Consider receiving double-takes on the street. And now imagine reducing all of your excess weight swiftly and easily, without sweating it out or succumbing to hunger pangs!
After
reminding the prospect of his issue, you might propose your complimentary
report and newsletter as the answer.
For instance, introduce
the "Seven Secrets of Getting Skinny," a complimentary report that
demonstrates how to quickly drop two pounds every week and keep them off!
Consider what you'll receive when you claim your free copy now...
3. Your prospect is interested in your complimentary
report. Now you must explain to him what he receives when he
subscribes - in other words, how it benefits him. To do so, simply include a
bulleted list of the report's top five to 10 benefits along with your
newsletter. In essence, these benefit statements resemble mini-headlines.
Examples:
• You'll learn an incredibly simple
technique for doubling your conversion rate - and it only takes two minutes!
• Caution: Do not attempt to
disassemble your carburetor until you have read Chapter 2! (Unless you relish
the prospect of spending $800 on a new carburetor!)
• Additionally, when you request
your free report, you will be automatically subscribed to the "Dog
Training Secrets" newsletter - which is completely free!
Provide
evidence for your claims. This might be as straightforward as providing
testimonials or even endorsements from significant individuals. Alternatively,
you may provide photographs (for example, "before" and
"after" photos for a weight reduction report), screen shots, videos,
scans, or other evidence.
5. The next
stage is to communicate to your prospect precisely what you want them to do
next – and how to achieve it. This is known as a call to action. Additionally,
if you can create an element of urgency — for example, by making it a
limited-time deal – all the better.
Tip: Never state that anything will stop at midnight,
next week, or on some other date unless you truly mean it. In other words, if
you're trying to generate a sense of urgency, be honest about it.
Your next
step is straightforward – simply enter your name and email address in the box
below, click "submit," and you'll immediately gain access to [NAME of
REPORT]! But act quickly, as this offer will expire on [DATE]!
Following
the call to action, copy and paste the subscription form code provided by your
mailing list provider (more on that later in this report). Following that, sign
your mini-letter.
6. P.S.
Finally, you'll want to include a postscript to your letter (P.S.). This is a
critical section of your message – second only to the headline – as it is one
of the most frequently read sections. As such, this postscript may perform the
following functions:
Restate the primary benefit.
"And
remember, you, too, can appear ten years younger... once you've discovered
these incredible age-defying secrets! ”
Reiterate
the imperative to act (and mention the scarcity again, where applicable).
"Subscribe
now to begin losing weight – but hurry, because this offer will expire
soon..."
Submit an
especially intriguing testimonial.
"Just
look at the results [NAME] obtained after reading this complimentary report
[insert testimonial]..."
Offer a new benefit that is not mentioned elsewhere.
"I
nearly forgot - if you subscribe now, you'll also learn what magical meal
swiftly and simply melts away the fat!"
Therefore,
your objective for today is to buckle down and write your report and squeeze
page. Alternatively, you can outsource the task to someone else by visiting
elance.com or any of the other services suggested in this study.
In either
case, complete the report and squeeze page today... and then we'll on to Day
#2.
Day 2: Increase the Value of Your Offer
Given that
you're pushing an affiliate product, it's very obvious that you're up against
competition.
To begin,
you're up against competitors who provide identical things.
For
instance, if you're offering a dog-training product, there are probably a dozen
others available.
You must
convince your prospects to purchase the product you're promoting over a similar
product from a competitor.
Tip: If you're promoting a well-marketed product, the
vendor should have defined the product's unique selling proposition (USP).
Essentially, a USP is what distinguishes and differentiates a product from
competitors (for example, a lifetime warranty, free installation, or 24/7
telephone assistance). You can incorporate these points into your marketing to
aid in the sale's closure.
Second,
you're competing directly with your other affiliates. That is, dozens,
hundreds, or even thousands of other affiliates may be advertising the SAME
product as you. And, while you may come across prospects who have never seen
another affiliate's offer, it's more likely that you'll come across prospects
who do some comparison shopping.
Now, the
first way to overcome this is to build a list and then to develop a
relationship with that list (which is what this report teaches you how to do).
This is
because the majority of people would rather purchase from someone they know,
like, and trust than a stranger.
However,
this is not always sufficient.
And it is
for this reason that you must also add value to the offer.
That is, you
must provide an additional benefit to people who purchase through your link.
This complimentary item should complement the original purchase, have a high
perceived value, and be quick and simple to deliver. The bonus may take the
shape of a complimentary report, video, audio, critique, coaching, or software,
among other things.
Examples:
• You provide a complimentary sales
letter critique to anyone who purchases a copywriting product via your
affiliate link.
• You provide a complimentary
low-calorie recipe book to anyone who purchases a diet product via your link.
• You provide free installation
with the program you sell.
• You provide a complimentary
report on trick obedience training to anyone who purchases a puppy
housetraining product via your link.
So how did
you go about creating this freebie?
Simple: In
the same manner as you did with the newsletter bonus.
Simply
choose a closely related topic (or tool) and follow the instructions in
"Day 1's" lesson to create it. Spend today developing a valuable
bonus that differentiates your offer from those of your competitors. Then
proceed to the subsequent lesson...
Day 3: Configure Your Autoresponder
At this
point, you're ready to give a bonus to anyone who purchases the product via
your affiliate link.
Additionally,
you've built a free report that you're giving away to anyone who joins your
list, as well as a mini-sales page (squeeze page) encouraging people to join
your list in order to get the free report.
What is
your next step?
Establish
an autoresponder to begin collecting email addresses, developing relationships
with your subscribers, and pushing your affiliate product. How to do it...
If you do
some investigation, you'll discover that your two primary alternatives are to
host your own mailing list/autoresponder script on your site or to use the
services of a third-party mailing list manager/host. I recommend that you use a
third-party house, since the most reputable and reliable of these organizations
spend considerable effort ensuring that your emails are "white
listed," and so reach your receivers' inboxes (rather than in spam
folders).
Aweber.com
(which I use heavily), GetResponse.com and clickfunnel are three of the most
popular and trusted third-party hosts.
Choose one now and create an account.
Then visit
their help site, where you'll discover all the video and text instructions you
need to set up, customize, and upload messages to our autoresponder. Simply
review these resources because you'll need them later (unless you're already
familiar with autoresponder setup).
Please note
that you'll also learn how to copy and paste the code onto your website so that
your squeeze page's subscription form appears.
Take a few
moments to quickly review those instructions so you can add your form to your
squeeze page.
Once that
task is complete, move on to the next...
Create an
Initial Email Series in Step 2
After choosing an autoresponder and including a subscription form on your squeeze page, the next step is to upload an initial series of emails.
These
emails are designed to deliver valuable material to your subscribers (which
aids in the development of a relationship with them) while also marketing your
affiliate product so that you can begin earning commissions immediately. As a
result, the majority of your emails will be a mix of content and pitch.
Tip: Aim for messages between 300 and 500 words in
length. Around 14% of the material might be devoted to your pitch.
As a
result, how many texts should you send?
The
majority of specialists say that it takes approximately seven
"touches" for prospects to truly feel at ease with you. That implies
you should construct an autoresponder series that is approximately seven to
twelve messages long.
Tip: You can construct a series that spans several
weeks, several months, or even a year. This manner, your list will operate on
autopilot. (If not, you'll need to send out a "live broadcast"
approximately once each week to maintain contact with your list.)
If you do
decide to pre-load your autoresponder with several months or a year's worth of
content, make certain that it is "evergreen." This means that content
is current, time-tested, and never becomes outdated, dated, or stale.
For instance, discussing how to
lose weight through exercise and portion control are timeless strategies.
However, referring to some dubious new diet pill is not an evergreen
suggestion, as the pill may be withdrawn off the market in six months.
Today, if
time permits, you can create all seven messages (or so). Alternatively, write
the first three or four messages today, load them into your autoresponder, and
then write one per day for the next several days, until your series contains at
least seven messages.
Now,
because you're hoping to earn an affiliate sale within a week, you'll send the
initial several mails daily. Additionally, your prospects are
"hottest" immediately following
Message 1:
Sent immediately upon a prospect's subscription to your list.
Message 2:
Sent 24 hours later.
Message 3:
Sent 24 hours later.
Message 4:
24 hours later, sent.
Message 5:
Two days later, sent.
Message 6:
Two days later, sent.
Message 7:
Three days later, sent.
Now that
you've decided what to include in your communications, the following step is to
pick what to include. Essentially, you're going to design an autoresponder
series that mirrors the free report you're giving to new subscribers.
Thus, those
who read and appreciate your report will also appreciate your communications.
And, of
course, they're going to desire the affiliate product you're pushing as well.
Perhaps
you're wondering why you shouldn't simply send an autoresponder series to your
subscribers. Why should you also send a complimentary report?
Simple:
Because everything you send to your subscribers is a promotional piece for your
affiliate product. As a result, a free report provides you with one opportunity
to close a sale. Additionally, each email you send provides you with another
opportunity. Additionally, individuals frequently communicate reports... Which
means it has the potential to go "viral" and be seen by people who
haven't even joined your mailing list.
The point
is that you want to get your message in front of as many people as possible!
Now, allow
me to demonstrate the various types of autoresponder messages that you can
send.
Examples:
• You provide a complimentary diet
report (since you are selling a diet product). You send a ten-part
autoresponder series outlining ten ways to shave 200 calories off one's daily
diet.
• You provide a complimentary
report on how to write better headlines. You design a seven-part autoresponder
series that includes a slew of different headline templates.
The other
reason you need these email messages to be strongly tied to the product you're
selling is that each email will contain a promotion for the product.
Sometimes
you’ll promote it in the beginning of the email, like this:
Example: “Today you’ll uncover the
secret beauty routine that can take years off your face nearly overnight. But
first, I wanted to tell you about... [insert affiliate pitch here]."
Occasionally,
you'll end with a promotion, such as this:
You may even do it in your P.S., like this:
P.S. Have
you checked out [product name] yet? If you haven't already, click here to do so
immediately, as it's the quickest and easiest technique I'm aware of to lose 20
pounds!
You may
choose to direct visitors to a pre-sell page that includes your product evaluation
and pitch... Add your offer of a bonus to people who purchase through your
link. In other words, you pre-sell – or warm up – your prospects before
directing them to the vendor's sales page.
The other
option is to pre-sell your prospects directly from your email. In this
scenario, you may write a few words outlining the benefits of the product to
the prospect. Make sure to include your bonus offer as well.
A Brief Recap
Today's
task is to get an autoresponder, configure it, and pre-load it with seven messages
that offer recommendations while also pushing the affiliate product you're
promoting.
Once it is
established, you can begin marketing your squeeze page... because you've
essentially created a sales engine that works to grow your list, earn subscribers'
trust, and push your affiliate links!
Now is the
time to put this machine to work. And the only way to accomplish this is to
attract as many targeted viewers as possible to your squeeze page!
This is how...
Day 4: Widely Distribute Your Links
You want to
get things started on the right foot – which is why you're going to do a lot
today.
The point
is that the faster you grow your list, the sooner you'll make your first sale.
How to do
it...
Some of the
simplest sales you'll ever make will be to customers who know, like, and trust
you. That is why you should begin by spreading the word about your squeeze page
(i.e., about your free report).
Utilize as many of the following tools as possible:
Inform your
personal friends and family members about your report via email. Solicit their
assistance in forwarding the URLs to their contacts as well.
Tweet about
your free report using the hashtag #freereport on Twitter.com.
Inform your
social media contacts, such as those on Facebook.com, MySpace.com, or Ning.com.
Create a blog post about your free report.
Include a
link to your squeeze page in the signature files of your forum posts. At the
bottom of each email you send, include a signature file (a few lines promoting
your free report).
If you already have a mailing list, notify them of
your new report.
In all
circumstances, be careful to request that people "re-tweet,"
"re-post," or otherwise assist you in sharing the report's links.
Disseminate the Word Through Multiple Websites
The
approaches outlined above place your links in front of a receptive audience.
Here's how to get your advertisements in front of a focused (but not always
warm) audience...
Create an advertisement on CraigsList.org. Ensure
that you put it in the most appropriate section (for example, free), and avoid
cross-posting between categories or locations.
Place an
advertisement in a relevant forum. If you're pushing anything related to
marketing, join WarriorForum.com and start a WSO (Warrior Special Offer). This
should be a no-cost offer (a free report in exchange for joining your mailing
list). Additionally, comparable offers can be made in the DigitalPoint.com and
SitePoint.com forums.
Whether
you're not selling anything marketing-related, check your niche's largest
forums, blogs, and newsletters to see if they sell advertising space. If so,
make a tiny purchase to determine whether the advertising is effective; if it
is, you can purchase further impressions.
Submit a press release to PRWeb.com that is timely or
seasonal in nature.
For
instance, if you're selling a weight-loss product at the start of the year, you
can produce a release discussing how customers can stick to their weight-loss
resolutions.
Additionally,
you can post ads on eBay.com. The only difference is that eBay.com now requires
physical copies of your digital products to be shipped. So while you can sell
your report for cheap (for as $3.95 with “free shipping”) as a means of
creating your prospect list, do notice that this strategy takes time to start
working.
ADS:
Have you heard of Paidviewpoint? It is an online survey platform with $1-$3 per survey and with a bogus refferal bonus of $25 per lead. Visit the HERE
Day 5: Find Ad Swap Partners
For today
you can repeat many of the activities you performed yesterday, such as blogging
about your report, tweeting about it, placing more advertising, etc.
Meanwhile,
you have one other new assignment for today: Find ad-swap partners.
Here’s how
it works...
You
identify another person in your niche who has a similar-sized specialty. Then
you agree to co-promote or exchange advertisements. That is, you send an
advertisement from your partner to your list... and he reciprocates for you.
This is mutually beneficial, as you will each grow your list slightly.
This
strategy gets increasingly more successful as the size of your list increases.
That is because you may begin approaching the industry's major players (e.g.,
those with bigger lists).
While you
may begin by trading ads with marketers that have a few hundred subscribers, if
your list develops to thousands of subscribers, you can begin trading ads with
marketers who have thousands of subscribers. And as a result of these larger ad
exchanges, your list will grow even faster.
There are
now two primary methods for locating ad swap partners. You'll want to combine
both of these approaches for the greatest results:
1. Advertise your availability for ad exchanges. One of the
greatest methods to achieve this is to visit warriorForum.com and post an
advertisement in the forum's "Joint Venture" area. Additionally, you
should peruse the other adverts to determine whether anyone else is looking for
a partner in your niche.
2. Directly contact prospective partners. The second
way is to contact other newsletter publishers in your niche (those with around
the same size list as you) and request an ad swap.
If you are
unfamiliar with these newsletter publishers, you can locate them using the
following methods:
Inquire.
Simply visit a specialized forum and inquire as to whose newsletters members
read (and/or whether they publish a newsletter). Additionally, you can spread
the news via your blog, social networking pages, and so on.
Investigate.
You can conduct a Google search using your specialty keywords (for example,
"organic gardening") in conjunction with terms such as
"ezine" or "newsletter."
For
instance, "bodybuilding ezine" or "organic gardening
ezine."
Tip: You may also search for your niche keywords in
conjunction with the word "subscribe," for example, "dog
training subscribe." (You're likely to come across a lot more blogs using
this strategy, but many of these writers have newsletters; and even if they
don't, you can exchange ads with them!)
Once you've
compiled a list of potential ad exchange partners, all you need to do is send
them an email with your request.
Here is a
sample template that you may use...
———————————————
I have a
suggestion for you, [Name].
Respected
[First Name],
Would you
like to grow your list of focused [niche] subscribers? As it happens, I already
have a list of responsive [niche] subscribers, and I'm sure they'd be delighted
to join yours as well.
My name is
[your name], and I am the webmaster and newsletter editor for the [web
link/name] website and newsletter. Given that we both write newsletters in the
same niche, I propose that we both grow our lists through an ad swap. I'll send
you whatever advertisement you choose to my list of [number] subscribers in
exchange for you doing the same for me.
Does that
make sense? Then click reply immediately and we can work out the details. I
eagerly await your response!
[Your Given
Name]
P.S. I can
send your advertisement to my list within 24 hours - just tell me what you want
me to send!
———————————————
Day 6: Content Creation and Submission
Today, you
should continue promoting your squeeze page utilizing the tactics discussed
previously in this study. Then you'll incorporate another promotional
technique:
Specifically,
content creation and submission.
You've now
heard about various content marketing techniques, including blogging (if you
have one) and press release distribution. However, now I'd like to focus on
another effective technique: article directory submission.
If you
conduct a search for article directories, you'll discover that there are a
plethora of outlets for you to post content. Nonetheless, the following is a
brief selection of some of the best directories:
•
Articles.EzineArticles.com (submit here first).
•
Articles.GoArticles.com
•
http://www.ideamarketers.com
•
http://www.ArticleAlley.com
•
http://www.ArticleCity.com
• Buzzle,
Inc.
• Squidoo
(www.squidoo.com)
•
HubPages.com (http://www.hubpages.com)
2. You will
experience internal traffic. Each of these websites has its own set of
viewers... and these visitors may read your articles and follow the link to
your website. This is especially true on community-oriented sites like
Squidoo.com and HubPages.com.
3. When
someone republishes your article, you'll receive traffic. These article
directories enable for the re-posting of your work by other newsletter and blog
publishers.
There are
now a few guidelines for writing these articles:
Create an
attention-grabbing title. Refer back to the part earlier in this article on
crafting sales letter headlines, since the same principles apply here. For
instance:
Read also: Seve ways inwhih artile marketing will help your business
"How to Eliminate Age Lines on the Face!
Create an
article that is pertinent to the product you're selling. That way you attract
the same target market. In other words, the same people who read your content
will also be interested in your email as well as the affiliate product you’re
promoting.
One of the
most effective ways to accomplish this is to ensure that your post is
completely connected to your free report. As a result, you can direct people to
your squeeze page for additional information.
For
instance, if you've written a free report on how to housetrain a puppy, you
could write numerous articles on various aspects of the process, such as
selecting a kennel, developing a consistent schedule with the puppy, how
frequently to take the puppy out, and what to do if there is an accident.
In your
byline, promote your squeeze page. In general, the only place where you are
permitted to promote yourself is in your byline (sometimes known as the
author's bio box, author's resource box, or similar terms). As such, you should
provide a pitch for your complimentary report.
"Does
your dog ever make you feel embarrassed or irritated by jumping on your guests,
surfing the counter, or digging up your garden?" Did you know that you can
put an end to all of these heinous behaviors in as little as 36 hours? To learn
how – for free! – click here. ”
Tip: You
may produce articles quickly and easily simply by excerpting out bits of your
free report and turning them into articles. You’ll need to include an
introduction and conclusion. You may even need to expand on the article if
you’re only giving a suggestion (with a goal to create a 400 to 600 word post)
(with a goal to create a 400 to 600 word article). Even so, it's a quick and
easy technique to generate multiple articles that are 100% relevant to your
free report!
If you
apply everything you've learned thus far, by Day 6 you'll have a reasonably
good list – and you might even have made a sale! However, we are not finished
yet...
Day 7: Set Up a PPC Campaign
Another
easy option to obtain focused visitors is to create a pay per click campaign.
This
includes the use of Google AdWords, MSN AdCenter, Kanoodle.com, and Facebook's
PPC advertising.
The manner
in which certain services are delivered varies slightly. However, this is the
general way in which these services are used...
The
majority of these services provide a built-in feature that assists you in
selecting your keywords (by providing an estimate of the daily traffic volume
for these terms). Alternatively, you can utilize a keyword tool such as
Keywordtooldominator
Now for the
crucial part...
You must
use somewhat limited words... terms that give you a sense of what the searcher
is looking for.
For
instance, a keyword such as "dog training" is far too broad. Is the
individual looking for a dog trainer? Is he looking for free tips? Is he
looking for a book? And what type of dog training is he searching for:
obedience, housetraining, trick training, agility, therapeutic, or field
training? or is there something else?
The point
is that you'll receive a higher conversion rate if you use more specific
keywords, such as "purchase a tomato planter," "dog
housebreaking suggestions," or "how to lose weight for women over
40."
The
following step is to establish a daily budget and then to determine a "per
keyword" bid for each of your keywords. The amount you bid helps influence
where your ad will show in the search engine results.
In general,
bigger bids result in your ad appearing higher in the results (however, in
AdWords' case, your ad's performance is also considered).
Each time
someone clicks on your advertisement, you are charged an amount equal to or
less than your bid. Therefore, if you bid 20 cents, you will pay up to 20 cents
each click.
You're
unlikely to want to begin with the highest bids for your advertisements. Rather
than that, begin low and fine-tune your advertisements and campaign initially.
Once you've optimized it, you can increase your bids to increase traffic.
Tip: Many PPC firms offer a free trial period of $25,
$50, or more. Always check the service's website first to see if there are any
coupons available. If you do not notice any, conduct a Google search for
"[service name] coupons."
The next
step is to build a brief advertisement (usually three lines) that will entice
prospects to visit your landing page (which you already learned how to create
earlier in this report).
1. The
headline, which is intended to grab the reader's attention. Whenever feasible,
put your keywords in the title of your ad. Thus, if your keywords are "gun
dog training," you may call your article "Gun Dog Training
Secrets."
2. The
advertisement's body (the remaining two lines). The purpose of your ad body is
not to persuade someone to join your mailing list or make a purchase. Rather
than that, its main goal is to elicit a click. Thus, it should provide value
and, if appropriate, arouse curiosity.

How do you
accomplish this?

see this tool. Additionally, you can utilize it for campaigns conducted outside
of Google.

a foolproof approach for generating your first affiliate sale in just seven

review this procedure:
Create a
report and a squeeze page on day one. This is where you learned how to create a
