More Traffic = More Affiliate Profits

By Brian Terry on Monday, August 24th, 2009

The easiest way to make is to simply .

I generally use pay-per-click traffic for almost all the affiliate products I promote simply because you can control exactly how much money is going out- and once you figure out how many visitors it takes to make a sale with whatever you are promoting, then you will know exactly how much money will come in.

PPC advertising just makes easier if you ask me!

First off, pay per click (PPC) does NOT mean Google Adwords. Adwords is just the most popular form of PPC advertising, but it is definitely not the only one. On that note, PPC search engine advertising is also not the only form of PPC.

You can pay per click on a variety of different advertising vehicles including banner ads, text ads, flash ads, email ads, etc.. So don’t limit yourself to just Google Adwords, or just search engines.

If you want to find more sources where you can pay per click, just go to Google.com and search for “pay per click advertising”.

Before you do any PPC advertising (or any advertising for that matter), you need a good tracking system to track your results. If you are doing search engine PPC, you need to know which keywords are producing sales and which aren’t. This will help fine tune your marketing system.

Included in this product is a software program which is perfect for tracking search engine pay-per-click ads. It allows you to use “trackers” for each keyword and will then display how much traffic that keyword is getting. Although most systems like Googe.com, MSN.com will have their own tracking that you can look at as well, it is best to have all of your tracking for all of your affiliate products in one place.

So what works in PPC advertising? Well, the truth is, 90% of the money you make from PPC ads will come from 10% of your keywords- The same keywords that produce results for you in the organic search most of the time.

Be very specific. “Golf” is going to be way too expensive, but “Golf swing instruction” may be much cheaper per click and will certainly produce more sales if you are selling golf instruction.

This isn’t really rocket science, it has just been made to be more difficult than it really is. The fact is, if you want to get big traffic from PPC keyword ads, then you will be spending some big money.

The more competitive keywords are going to cost more, so your sales ratio will have to pick up the slack.

Here is a formula I follow..

For the more competitive keywords that cost $0.50-$2.00, I just try to break even with my initial product while building a list. I will gladly spend $1+ per visitor and just break even because I know that a good percentage of those visitors will subscribe to my list, and/or buy my upsell (profit), and/or buy a backend product from me (more profit).

Most people just look at trying to make a bunch of money with their 50% commission of one $27 product that converts at 1% and are finding it incredibly hard, especially with highly competitive advertising vehicles like Google Adwords.

But if you just look at breaking even on the first sale, it becomes so much easier. Marketing in general becomes so much easier when the initial sale doesn’t have to produce a profit.

So let’s say that you are doing the “Insider’s View” video idea with a PPC advertising campaign. You set it up to where they have to subscribe to your list for the inside view video. You build your list this way by just breaking even on all of the sales that are generated from that video.

So for the very competitive words that generate a lot of traffic, just break even.

For the low hanging fruit, the words that aren’t competitive, don’t cost too much per click, and don’t generate as much traffic- these are the ones that can make you money up front. The problem is, they are not searched for as often and just don’t bring in the clicks that the expensive ones do.

It is also very important to be on the front page when you are advertising via search engine PPC. This not only generates the most traffic, but also the more hungry visitors who seem to buy much more often.

So whenever possible, get on the front page, spend the extra money to test it out and see how profitable it is for you and your product.

You might just be breaking even on the initial product, but your follow ups may make you a fortune. Getting the most of each visitor is what marketing is all about!

The more you get out of each visitor, the easier it is to generate tons of traffic to your web site. Why? Because you can spend more.

Put it this way, if your web site generates $3 per unique visitor, do you think it would be hard to generate traffic from say Google Adwords? You could spend $2 per click and still make money.

The biggest search engine PPC advertising vehicles are Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, And MSN Ad Center.  There are others, but I never found the others to be worth the effort.

However, there are a lot of sites that offer PPC advertising that isn’t search engine keywords. Like I said above, go to Google.com an do a search for it and you will get plenty of ideas.

It is a good idea to set specific days to do certain tasks that will build traffic.

For instance:

  • On Mondays and Thursdays, check all PPC advertising and tweak the campaigns to make them profitable.
  • Go to the discussion forums that are in your market at the end of everyday (after your to do list is completed) and make relevant post about the topic and leave your link in your sig file (don’t spend too much time at the forums, just get in and get out).
  • Pick a day each week to brainstorm new ideas to generate traffic (I don’t work on Fridays or the weekend, so my brainstorm day is Thursday so that the ideas are in my head all weekend. I find this helps to come up with new ideas while I’m out and about enjoying life.)
  • Whenever you find something that works well, outsource it. If you have found that it works, and are done with all of your testing or experimenting with that concept, then you can outsource it and move on to finding other traffic generation methods that work well for your business.

The Subscriber Simple Secret

By Brian Terry on Monday, August 10th, 2009

The Subscriber Simple Secret is a simple plan that you can follow and set up to start building a list for free, and make money with affiliate programs.

The concept is based on my Profit Funnel Secret that I released a few years ago. The Internet moves fast and in 2 years some strategies lose their effectiveness. Although the Profit Funnel system still works great, and I still use it everyday, I wanted to see if I could better it, and I did…

So I have modified and added to the Profit Funnel Secret to make it better and more effective..

With the Profit Funnel Secret, you use a squeeze page to capture subscribers. All you need with your squeeze page to make this work is about a 40% conversion, meaning for every 100 people that go to your site, 40 will subscribe
to your list.

Although the more the merrier, 40% will work fine. I have had some Profit Funnels generating 60% conversions, but 40% is all you really need.

When somebody subscribes, they are taken to either a product of yours (best option) or if you do not have one, you will be an affiliate for somebody else’s product and promote that. All your product or affiliate product needs to do is convert at about 1% (1-2% is the industry average and easily obtained) to make this strategy work.

Since this report is about promoting affiliate products, let’s just stick with that!

Then you use pay-per-click advertising to advertise your squeeze page (although most traffic generation strategies will work, I have been using PPC for it’s simplicity and effectiveness).

That is the pure basis of it, and I know it sounds basic at first glance, but there are some very important factors in this system that makes this work like crazy.

After you have it setup, you only need about $10-15 in funds to start with the PPC engines and then everything after that is virtually free. Free subscribers after the initial $10-15 forever!!!

Of course the whole point is to build up a big list so that you can make money promoting other people’s products for years to come.

Not only will you be generating free subscribers, but also you will be making sales left and right.

And you can set this up as many times as you want in any market.

Here is the formula to get this to work properly.

Let’s say that once you have your squeeze page set up, it converts at 40%. So every 100 visitors that come to your site, you get 40 subscribers.

So let’s say you start with $15.

You spend $15 at Google Adsense or Overture.com to advertise your squeeze page at $0.05 per click.

That means that once you have exhausted your $15, you will have received 300 visitors to your squeeze page, and 40% will subscribe.

That means 120 people will be redirected to the sales letter of whatever affiliate product you are promoting.

So you go to clickbank.com and find a product that has to do with the PPC keywords that you bid $0.05 on and that clickbank.com product cost $37 and pays you 50% commission as an affiliate. This is just an example of course, you may find one that you like that is better, etc.. Like I said earlier, lots of clickbank.com products that you can promote are now paying 60-75% which is a fantastic commission!

So, back to our visitors, 120 people will subscribe and be redirected through your affiliate link to a product that costs $37.

All that affiliate site needs to do is sell at 1%, that’s it! Some will sell at 2-4% which is where you want to be, but 1% is all you really need. The higher the sales ratio for the product you are promoting, the more subscribers you will be able to generate.

So out of the 120 people that subscribed to your list and saw the affiliate product’s sales letter, 1 of them buys, making you $18.50 in commission. You just made back the initial $15 you put in and made $3.50 in profit.

BUT, the real reason you are doing this is the 120 subscribers that you just got for free!

This is incredibly powerful! Do not dismiss this whatsoever!

Now, the way to really make this work is that when you setup your squeeze page, you set up an autoresponder that they are subscribing to. This is where even will show up.

Your squeeze page has to give something away for free for maximum conversion. A free report, a free 5 day series by email, etc.. This is why they are subscribing in the first place. Although it isn’t 100% necessary to give something away for free, you can get them to subscribe just by using good copy that gets them curious.

The way to make this very profitable is in your follow up messages.
This is where you can setup a whole years worth of follow ups (You don’t have to do this all at once either! I use a system for this as well.)

Let’s say you have 50 follow ups promoting 25 different affiliate programs that are all selling products that are related to the keywords you bid on with the PPC campaigns- 2 followup emails for each affiliate program.

This is ’set it and forget it’ at its best.
Once you have this setup and working to where your first product that you promote when people subscribe to your list is paying for your PPC advertising, all of your subscribers are basically free, and anything that your list makes by promoting those affiliate programs is pure profit and automatically generated! You don’t even have to answer customer emails or do any support, none of that!

Now, here’s how to avoid doing the work of finding 25-50 different affiliate programs all at once. I start with 5 and setup about 2 months worth of  autoresponder messages promoting those 5. Your first 5 are quick and easy.

Then one day a week (just pick a day) I check my PPC listings to make sure they are still running, add more money to them if needed, and find another 5 affiliate programs to promote and then add follow up messages for those 5.

After a few weeks, your whole system is completely done and no more work is required, except for the few minutes per week it takes to login to your PPC account and make sure your ads are running.

So think if you had 20 of these sites building lists for you, and promoting affiliate programs for you all on auto-pilot?

But wait, this gets much better!

Once you have a list, or a few lists built up- You can send broadcast messages to these lists and really see the traffic flow to wherever you want to send them (a new product, affiliate program, whatever!)

You can cross promote, do joint ventures to your list, run subscriber specials, etc.. Once you have your list built up, the income opportunities are enormous. I have been running opt-in lists for 9 years now. It’s like my own money printing machine!

This is still one of the easiest ways to generate multiple income streams, build your list, and generate traffic all on autopilot that I have tried, and I have tried a lot!

That’s my Profit Funnel system, and a good one to work that is quick and easy and actually does build you a list!

The only change I have made is to get rid of the squeeze page.


Squeeze pages, although they still work, are becoming less effective lately.

The main reason is because everybody is using them. You have to fill in your name and email to do anything online now and people are getting sick of it.

The majority of stuff that you get for free for filling out the squeeze page forms is junk and the visitors know it.

But like I said, they do still work, but I think they are only going to keep losing steam as more and more people set up more squeeze pages.

Another problem with using a squeeze page is the advertising. Google.com already frowns upon using their Pay-per-click advertising to advertise your squeeze page and often times won’t even let you.

More advertising vehicles are following suit as well.

This will make advertising your squeeze page quite difficult.

So what’s the solution?

I have been using low cost reports to build my lists and using different variations of this system to promote my products and affiliate program products.

For instance, instead of a squeeze page that is simply there to generate a subscriber, I sell a report for $1-$5.

That is the change, the rest of the system works exactly the same way.

So where do you get the short reports to sell?

Private label of course.

Here is what I do with private label content to make it much better.  I get all kinds of private label reports, articles and ebooks on one topic, read them all, take out the best stuff from each private label item and make one “best of” report.

So this means I get the best information from various different sources as oppose to one source where some of it is good information, and some of it is bland/outdated/rehashed…

I suggest you do the same. This way, you do not have to write anything, you just copy and paste most of it into one great report!

Finding PLR products to make your “best of” report will come quite easy as they are literally everywhere. Just go to google.com and type in “private label ebooks”, “private label resell rights”, etc.. and you will see what I mean.

You are looking for private label ebooks/reports that come with sales letters.

No software! Software is way too much work.

If they come with sales letters, then you do the same when writing your sales letter by making a “best of” sales letter to sell your report.

The best places I have found are the memberships that give you two new ebooks per month with sales letters for like $30. That’s a product with PLR with a sales letter for 15 bucks that you can make money with for years to come.

Plus, you usually get access to all of the previous months products! I am not going to give you a list because these sites go up and down often and the list will be outdated quick. Just go to google.com and do the search and you will find plenty.

You can even do this with just one PLR book. Let’s say you just want to create a 20-30 page report and you got the private label rights to a 100 page ebook.

You can edit it down to a “best of” 25 page report by cutting out the 75 least helpful pages.

That way your customer gets just the guts, the best parts of that 100 page book.

Then set your report up using the sales letter provided, advertise it using PPC and build your list for big affiliate profits!

I know this kind of takes away from the whole appeal of because this is selling your own product, when is about selling somebody elses.

But remember, if you truly do not want to sell your own, you can still use the squeeze page idea above and not sell anything of your own. It does work still and should not be dismissed.

Internet Marketing Affiliate Program Success Tips

By Brian Terry on Friday, July 25th, 2008

Many people first learn of during the course of absorbing all the information they can about Internet marketing and home-based businesses.

The people selling you the information are, of course, Internet marketers.

Hence, many people decide to start their journey by promoting Internet marketing related products.

Some ‘gurus’ will tell you not to do this, and to focus on an unrelated niche, instead.

There’s wisdom in this advice, but getting your feet wet as a newbie affiliate by promoting the products you know best is also a great way to start.

Is it competitive? Yes! Can you learn a lot from promoting Internet marketing products?  The answer: most definitely!

So, rather than try to persuade you away from promoting these types of products as an affiliate, I’d like to share with you some tips on how best to succeed at the game.

Success Tip #1: Promote What You Know
While it is tempting to promote the latest ‘big name’ Internet marketing product, I’d recommend avoiding that tactic unless you own a copy of it already and have studied it thoroughly.

The absolute best way to improve your copy writing skills, as well as build a trusting relationship between you and your potential customers, is to know a product inside and out. You should be able to provide a full review of a product’s ‘pros’ as well as ‘cons.’

Success Tip #2: Build Your List Relationship
You need to build a targeted opt-in list, and then focus on building the relationship with your list. This means you’ve got to send relationship-building material - such as free gifts, articles, etc - just as often as you send out promotional emails.

Your list can be a cash cow for you, but not if you treat them like a herd. Reach out and speak to your list’s interests and needs. Let them know you’re only one step ahead of them on the learning curve, and that you’re all in this Internet business together!

Success Tip #3: Brand Yourself
What do most of the top-name Internet marketers have in common?  They have visibility. The fact that you know their names points to how good a job they’ve done branding themselves. Each one has a ‘unique spin’ on the way he does business, too.

You’ve got marketers who brand themselves as ’super affiliates’, ‘expert copy writers’, ‘masters of traffic generation’ and so on. Many of them started out as affiliate marketers before they took the plunge into creating their own products.

So, ask yourself, what will separate you from the next affiliate promoting the exact same product?

If you’ll follow just these three tips starting today, I guarantee you’ll see a huge improvement in your results. You’ll convert more customers, earn more money and be well on your way to real affiliate success!

The Importance of Having an Affiliate Marketing Strategy

By Brian Terry on Thursday, July 24th, 2008

One of the biggest mistakes made by novice affiliates is diving into their marketing campaign without a solid strategy.

What does it mean to have a strategy, and why is it so important?  These are the questions we’ll examine in this article.

Any strategy worth its salt will cover multiple levels of planning. In other words, your strategy should include things like: how you will present your offer to your market, how you will drive market traffic to your web site, how you will convert your customers.

Why?

Quite simply, you must learn to think of the entire sales chain from beginning to end. Conversion is crucial to each step in the process.

For example, getting someone to click on your pay-per-click advertisement should be considered a ‘conversion’ because the individual has taken the desired action of clicking an ad that leads to your site.
Once that visitor reaches your site, you must determine how you will convert them into ‘leads.’  Typically, you’ll capture the visitor’s name and email address to an opt-in list. In order to do this, you need a strategy for creating an attractive opt-in page offer.

Yet another strategy comes into play when you’ve gotten the lead onto your list. Your follow up email series must be designed to convert that lead into a customer.

However, conversions on new leads will not make up the bulk of your profits. If you desire serious affiliate income, you also need a post-sale follow up strategy.

What types of follow up offers will you send to your list of existing customers? This is important because the repeat customers are really your bread and butter.

Finally, think about how to expand your affiliate business.

Do you want to remain in the same market niche indefinitely? If not, consider your long-term strategy. You can replicate your current affiliate model into another niche.

This will add an additional stream of income to your bottom line, and is a great long-term strategy for building your own affiliate empire.

Top 3 Reasons for Affiliate Marketing Failure

By Brian Terry on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Can’t seem to catch a break with your efforts?

Spending too much money for too little return on investment?

can be as ‘easy’ as it looks from the outside, but you’ve got to focus on real, proven marketing tactics to make it work ‘big time’ for you.

Unfortunately, many people come to with no idea what a truly successful campaign should look like.

What you don’t know that you don’t know can hurt you!  So, let’s look at the top 3 reasons for failure. If you’re having a rough time, I’ll bet you’re making at least one of these critical mistakes.

Mistake #1: Incomplete understanding of niche targeting
Have you ever asked yourself what it really means to target a niche? It’s not just about ‘widgets’ versus ‘blue cheap widgets’.  Key words can tell you a lot about the way a broad market breaks down into sub-markets, but they can’t give you the complete picture.

Niche targeting is as much about identifying the right *solutions* or products for the market as it is about identifying the market proper.

Any time you’re researching a niche, it is always a good idea to check out the top-selling books and magazines targeted towards that niche. What this will do is give you a better of idea about your market’s true needs and concerns.

Once you have this information, sit down and think about your ideal customer. What type of solution does he want?  Is your market looking for ‘fast’, ‘cheap’ and ‘easy’ solutions, or are they looking for something more comprehensive or of higher quality?

Do You Have An Income-Building Affiliate Marketing Plan?

By Brian Terry on Monday, July 14th, 2008

In order to generate real wealth as an affiliate, you must implement an income-building plan that focuses on the long-term. There are three key areas one needs to examine in this regard:

1.    Leverage
2.    Recurring income
3.    Duplication

Leverage
The first step in building income is always in making proper use of the power of leverage. Investing your time and money wisely can help improve your existing business, and potentially double or triple your current income.

For example, maybe you’ve always wanted to create a high-ticket ‘follow up’ product to offer to your list of existing customers because you can’t find any comparable affiliate programs for such a product in your market?

If you’ll leverage your existing profits, you can hire someone to create such a product for you, along with all of the products images and web site graphics you’ll need to set up your very own merchant site.

What this will do is give you a new potential stream of income. You continue to make commissions on the existing affiliate product, while also generating sales where you get to keep 100% of the profit.

Likewise, if you don’t want to sell the product, you can use it as “bonus bait” for your existing affiliate promotions!

3 Practical Methods for Getting Website Traffic

By Brian Terry on Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Getting traffic to your website is mandatory if you are trying to promote something you are selling or a message you want to spread.  Before investing any money or time in many other resources there are 3 methods you should put into action for without having to spend a dime doing so.

1.
Links to and from other websites is perhaps the most powerful method of increasing your ranking and bringing in a steady flow of visitors.  The search engines will give your site the attention you deserve as long as you are linked to sites that are related to yours.

must also be a gradual process.  Search engines will penalize you if they suspect anything unnatural about the amount of links involved in your exchange with other websites.

2.
Work on the in your site by including keywords that will reach your target market.  help the search engines describe your website. Some HTML knowledge is required but there are plenty of tutorials online, so don’t let it scare you.

You may also hear about the lack of importance some people place on , but I wouldn’t let that stop you from putting an emphasis on something that won’t cost you any money to do and could add some extra visitors to your site.

3. Keyword-Rich Content
As much as traffic is critical to the survival of your website the content placed on your site is the key to getting it.  Adding or writing quality articles that gives the reader reliable information will increase the visibility of your message and subsequently a steady flow of website traffic.

Using the right keywords in these articles will give you a stronger chance of reaching the all important rankings in the search engines.  There are a handful of free keyword suggestion tools you can use to help you find those keywords.  As you become more experienced with traffic building you will realize how incredibly important the right keyword usage is to your success.

Using the 3 methods above can get you on the right path to getting a consistent flow of website traffic and since it won’t cost you any monetary investment there is absolutely no reason not to take advantage of putting them into action. But if you would prefer a step-by-step action plan I offer a very powerful e-book called Flood Your Site With Traffic.

5 Steps To Promoting Any Big Selling Product Using Ezine Articles

By Brian Terry on Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I bet you can’t tell me the best way to use ezine articles to promote one of our big selling products.

Go ahead. Give it your best shot. Out loud. Say it. Whatever comes to mind, just blurt it out.

I’m listening.

The fact of the matter is, most people don’t really understand how to BEST use ezine articles to promote an affililate product.

They know they are supposed to write an article, include some kind of clever offer in the text or in their resource box, and convince editors to publish their article. But that’s as far as it goes.

However… there is a *very* clever way to use your article to promote like you’ve never seen before.
And I’m going to share it with you right now.

There are only five steps. And they are all super simple…

Step 01: Choose the product or service you want to promote.
This one is kind of a no-brainer. It all begins with deciding what you want to promote.

It could be:

www.BigSellingNiches.com or www.BigSellingConversions.com

We’re talking about an actual offer you want to present that you’ll earn profits from when readers of your article make a purchase.

Decide what it is that you want to promote through your free ezine article. And then move on.

Step 02: Determine your “useful, but incomplete” approach.
I love to use what Jimmy D. Brown has coined as the “useful, but incomplete” approach when using freebies of any kind. (Ezine articles, free eBooks, reports, eCourses, etc.)

How to create a website with free hosting

By Brian Terry on Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Once you’ve registered your domain name it’s time to set up your website which will feature the affiliate reviews you’re going to write.

Previously I mentioned to you about the importance of branding. I know I’ve mentioned it to you time and time again, I do this because it’s such an important aspect of that few people really understand and leverage.

Did you read this article post about how to write an affiliate review? Great! because here’s how to build a website where you can feature them all.

It’s this website where you drive a majority of your traffic, it’s also through this website that you build yourself a list of subscribers you can contact time and time again.

So are you ready to get started?

The first thing you should have done by now is to have registered a domain name for yourself with GoDaddy.com or another reliable domain registrar.

Here’s what I want you to do next…

Step 1: Go to www.Weebly.com

Step 2: Create a free account

step1 How to create a website with free hosting

Step 2: Give your website a Title (Make sure your title includes your main keyword phrase). Recently I created a short video that shows you a powerful method of keyword generation using the Google AdWords tool. You can watch it here.

step2 How to create a website with free hosting

Step 3: Add the elements your home page is going to need, I would select from there “Paragraph with title” and start from there. Remember what you’re creating here is a page for a review you’re going to write for a Big Selling product (as an affiliate).

Don’t worry too much about how it looks right now, you can easily edit things later on, including the design of the website.

step3 How to create a website with free hosting

Step 4: Once you’ve added the elements you think you’re going to need to get started you can begin editing them…

step4 How to create a website with free hosting

Step 5: Remember it does not have to be perfect! just get started.

One other thing you can do is add your own custom HTML which is perfect for adding your autoresponder form code. As I’ve suggested before you should include your optin form on every page of your website.

Be sure you have something of value to offer people inreturn for their details. For example you could offer them a copy of this report which you can add your affiliate links to.

step5 How to create a website with free hosting

Step 6: Once you have the basic structure of your page in place you can change the design of your website.

Step 7: Now you have your first page more or less set up you can start thinking about what other pages you’re going to have on your website. Take out a piece of paper and plan out the content of your site.

Here’s what I suggest you do…

1. Write an affiliate review of BigSellingNiches.com and BigSellingCoversions.com and feature them on your website. I showed you how to write an affiliate review here.

2. Set up one page for each of these reviews that you write

3. Create an “About Your Name” page which contains information about you, what your background is and how you’d like to help people (include your optin form on this page too).

Step 8: Now that you have your site structure in place it’s time to add the domain name you’ve purchased to your website.

All you do is go to the “Settings” tab at the top of the page, select “change site address” then select option C. All you do then is enter your domain name and press the continue button.

When you do this you’ll then be given instructions on how to point your domain name to your new website.

So there you have it, how to set up and create your own website, this is the simplest way I know of on how create a website with just basic internet skills.

Owning your own website with it’s own unique domain name name are essential first steps to take in becoming a successful Big Selling Affiliate.

You can do so much more with Weebly as I’m sure you’ll soon discover, including adding video and RSS feeds. I suggest for now that you keep things really as simple as possible then grow from there.

As I mentioned earlier perfection isn’t nearly as important as just getting it done and launched. The best approach to take is to just improve things as you go along.
