1. Research: Your research is the most important step in finding the proper product to promote. You will save time and money if you do it right. Finding a the right niche, the right product, is the and most significant component to achieving success. Don’t be afraid of competition. If a product has competition it means that there’s money in that niche. Find a niche that you are interested in. Then find products on Clickbank in that niche that you want to promote.

After your niche research you will want to do some keyword research. Start by grabbing some relevant keywords by using Google’s own keyword tool. Choosing the second option - “Website Content” on the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, you can typein the domain of the product you are promoting and it will generate relevant keywords for you.

Then you can take a few of those and plug them back in with the radio button for the first option checked descriptive words or phrases and it will expand your keyword lists some more. You can then download the list as a Txt file or CSV. Also use some of the other Keyword Research tools provided in this blog at top of the page.

2. Domain and Hosting. Once you have decided on a niche and researched some relevant keywords, you should invest in a relevant domain name and hosting for your website. For me I use BlueHost which gives you the domain name free with the very affordable hosting package. Plus they have all the tools you need to get your website up and running in a professional manner. When choosing your domain name it is a good idea to use a relavant keyword in the name.

3. Your website Landing Page: Create a website with a simple review of the product you are promoting. Use a headline that grabs attention and use your keywords within the copy of the page. Be sure to make it natural and interesting. Keywords repeated over and over in text that doesn’t make sense will not only get you slapped by Google, but won’t make any sales defeating the whole purpose. Also, be sure to cloak your affiliate links on your landing page as it will improve your conversions.

4. Addition Income: Set up your Adsense ads within your website. Go to Adsense and determine the size and colors you want to use then get the code and insert it into your website html.

5. Promotion: Using Adwords is easy. Log into your Adwords account, use the keywords from your research, plug them in and tweak the settings. Choose a low daily budget to start off with, but set the max cpc to the price that is higher then what google recommends to obtain the highest ad spots. You want to be in the proven hot spots which are spots 1 through 3. You can gradually decrease your bid over time while maintaining a high CTR.

After you ad has run a few days keep tweaking and refining your campaign to make it convert higher. You can lower your ad spend and get the maximum amount of traffic possible for the keywords that are converting.

6. Take advantage of Google Analytics. Get the code and place it on your site. It will help determine which keywords are converting to sales.

7. Article/blog/squidoo submissions: Use these for additional promotion by including your keywords in your article title, in your first few paragraphs, and in variations throughout your article. But don’t use all of them, use a maximum of 5-10. You can write 10 articles, and focus every 2 articles around a different group of keywords. Always put a link to your website in the author box with an engaging call to action.
Here is a list of places to submit articles:

Forums are also a great way to promote your website or affiliate links in your signature link. When you sign up to a forum, go to your profile and account sections to create a signature link. Remember, NEVER spam the forums. Make relevant posts in the forum and you will be more respected and get more clicks on your signature link. Forum ethics are important, you want to build a good rep and never ever just spam a product. Post to popular topics, and respond to the busiest posts every day.

Start a BLOG on your subject and include links to your affiliate website or product. You can get a blog for free and the search engines love them.

Squidoo is another excellent resource and you might even get addicted. Use Squidoo to write about your affiliate product and include links.

Good Luck!

Write articles to provide value to your readers. Tell them why they should buy the product with a review or recommendation.

The point of writing articles is to provide the readers with useful content. The article does not have to be long, in fact, keeping them under 500 words or even less makes them an easy read.

Today I want to write about frustrations. Yes affiliate marketing can be frustrating. The secret to affiliate marketing really is finding the right product to promote. Not only a product that will sell, but one that you are interested enough in to continue your efforts in promoting it. That is the importance of being earnest.

Longevity in promoting affiliate products can soon wane, if you are not interested in the subject matter. Sometimes it’s just best to take a break and see if the efforts you have put in so far are paying off. But don’t break for too long, you have to continually update, advertise and find new sources of promotion. Most affiliate products, after all, are being promoted by others and to keep an edge on the market you need to continually be on top of your game.

As mentioned in other posts, after you have set up your landing page that leads to the affiliate product sales page, you need to promote promote and promote some more.

The best ways of promoting? Adsense, writing articles, using social bookmarking, press releases, joining forums and promoting in your signature line, squidoo lenses, classified advertising, leaving comments on blogs that are similiar to your subject matter … and the list goes on.

It’s hard work and very time consuming. But if you continually put in effort and don’t get frustrated, you will reap rewards.

Four Tier Annihilation Method

This is crushingly effective method of ploughing giant profits from the internet using the system called the Four Tier Annihilation Method. It is full of virtual aggression, underground tactics and competition destroying tricks. This system was specifically designed to make its user rise into the spheres of higher earnings so easily it feels like cheating… it’s fresh, killer and responsible for several people
making 6 figures a month…

If you have just absolutely had it with all the usual internet marketing CRAP, then consider what Four Tier Annihilation Method is NOT about:

It’s NOT about Google Adwords: Four Tier Annihilation doesn’t use Adwords AT ALL. No Google slaps, no complicated keyword stuff, no budget destroying campaigns that waste your time and money.

It’s NOT about Google Adsense: The only way Four Tier Annihilation uses adsense is a sneaky and covert monetizing factor for one of the methods. There is no site building or article writing.

It’s NOT about Complicated SEO: Virtually no Search Engine Optimization factors involved: no guess work, no waiting: just results NOW!

It’s NOT about Traditional Affiliate Marketing: You make a killing as an affiliate but… you can completely forget about the “regular” ways. Like writing tons of content, getting ads that cost too much and don’t produce results…

It’s NOT about Site Setups: This works on a platform with templates. That’s why it’s so quick and dirty easy. You don’t need experience…

It’s NOT about being Business or Computer Savvy: It can help BUT for once, it’s not a pre-requisite… You can likely figure it all out 100% in a single sitting…

It’s NOT about Capital: The creator of Four Tier Annihilation started penniless from his friend’s dirty basement. You can do it too, and a $100 budget is ten times more than what he had at this point… in fact you can start with about 10 bucks…

It’s NOT about Waiting: This is not like those other tactics where you do something and wait a month to see results. Often this makes money WITHIN DAYS or even hours of being implemented.

It’s NOT about Massive or Complicated methods: The Four Tier Annihilation system has a TON of components to make it unbreakable. However the beauty of it is that it’s a one page method. You can do it all with one single page! You can build one, or a hundred, or as many as will satisfy your greed for Big Easy Money…

THIS IS an amazing system that over the next few weeks you can have your very own business up and running that gives you all the money you need to live a life full of joy, happiness and abundance.

You have a full 56 days to try out all the materials. If at any time, you decide that it’s not right for you, you can get a full refund immediately, no questions asked.

News Quest: VIRAL MARKETING

I have the viral marketing bug and I don’t want a cure! What is Viral Marketing? Viral Marketing simply is a way to market an idea, product or information with lightening speed. It duplicates itself and spreads “like a virus” and thus the name.

Don’t confuse it with a computer virus which will harm or even destroy the information on your computer. It is not harmful. It was only a name given to this type of marketing because it’s like gossip and the word is spread quickly.

But just like gossip, it must be “buzz worthy”. In other words, it must be interesting enough that one person will pass it on to a friend, and that friend passes it on to several of their friends and it goes on spreading like … a virus !

If you want to use the viral marketing technique you either have to have a product, idea or information that will be of value to many different people. By giving it away to them, and IF they find it valuable, they will give it away to someone else. There can be an incentive attached, that if they do give it away then they will receive something extra and perhaps even more valuable.

That is the key: It MUST be something of value that people are looking for and want.

So how can viral marketing help if you are giving away something for free?
1. It builds a relationship, if you give someone something of value they will be interested in your other offers
2. It can be a carrot on a stick, that gets them to join your membership site, group, or affiliate program.

That’s the basics. Here’s a great example of viral marketing:
