How to register a domain name

By Brian Terry on Friday, February 22nd, 2008

You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed if you're new here. Thanks for visiting!

Registering your own domain name is a critical part in setting yourself up as a Big Selling Affiliate because it plays a key role in your strategy. The bottom line is it influences your markets “first impression” of your business.

In fact your domain name is much more than the “www” address people use to access your website.

Consider all the different places your domain might be seen by a potential customer, for example…

  • In your emails
  • PPC advertising
  • Forum and email signatures
  • Newsletters
  • Banner ads

I’ve mentioned in a previous post how you need to brand yourself as the expert in the market place and one simple way of doing this is registering a domain name like: YourNameRecommends.com or YourNameSuggests.com or YourNameReviews.com

This is powerful on many levels because it put you in the position of being able to build a name for your recommendations where you pre-sell our Big Selling products.

In addition to this a domain name like this is:

  • Easy to remember
  • Easy to spell
  • Uses your personal name as a brand
  • Uses a .COM extension (very important)

Once you’ve decided upon your .com domain name the next thing to do is to register it with GoDaddy.com. When you register your domain name you’re essentially renting it for 1 or more years, so during this time only you can use it. Every year you simply renew it so you can continue to use it.

Here’s how easy it is to register a domain name:

How to develop a Big Selling Affiliate mindset

By Brian Terry on Monday, February 18th, 2008

Becoming a successful Big Selling Affiliate is all about having the right mindset.

It’s a mindset of approaching as a business, it’s not a matter of showing up and here’s $2,000. In fact there is no limition on how much you can earn as an affiliate, it’s only the limitations you add yourself that can hold you back.

You need to put in the same kind of time and effort as you would in any kind of business. This is only part of the whole picture because you also need to have the determination and belief that you can and will succeed.

It’s a case of if you believe you can or you believe you can’t either way you’re right! You really need to “believe” you can become a successful Big Selling Affiliate marketer.

It’s no use thinking I don’t know how to do HTML, or I don’t know how to build a list or whatever the obstacle might be. You need to have the attitude that whatever stands in your way can be overcome with your positive mental attitude.

Being an affiliate isn’t a 9-5 job where you have a boss to answer to, instead you need to formulate your own plans and goals for achievement.

So before starting out as Big Selling Affiliate you need to have a plan of action to follow which includes knowing the following:

1. How and where will you be driving traffic from?

2. How will you position yourself and your product in the market place? (I wrote an article about yourself here which is all about positioning yourself in the market place).

3. How much money do you have available to spend on advertising?

4. What is your expected return on investment for your first month? You need to plan for the 30 day delay in affiliate commission payments.

5. What are your mid and long term goals? Where do you see yourself in 6 months time, 12 months time?

It’s critical that you take forward steps each and every day that help build your business, no matter how small those steps are. It might only be 1 hour writing an article or a blog post, it’s all about long term results being built by consistent action over time.

You might consider writing and submitting 2 articles a week, or a short blog post every other day, or commenting on several related blog posts each week. As long as it’s consistent action that helps you build your business.

Being patient is critical! It takes time to build subscriber lists and becoming established in the search engines. So during your first month it might seem like you’re not making any progress at all. This is where you positive attitude and your long term plan comes in to place. These are the things that keep you focused and motivated.

This takes me back to what I mentioned earlier about taking consistent forward moving action with your business because as you move forwards 1 step at a time you build momentum. Imagine pushing a car from standing still, it takes a lot of effort to get it moving but once it’s moving it gets easier and easier to move quicker and quicker, this is exactly what I mean about being patient.

It’s all about being patient, staying positive, being consistent and being strategic.

To help you get on the right track here are 7 points you must take careful note of before you start your affiliate business:

1. Take one step at a time (this is all about patience)

2. Take massive action and put in the required effort until your plan works, but don’t forget to keep your plan fluid as you sometimes need to make course corrections to hit your target.

3. Focus on one proven business system at a time, if this is stay with it until you have it working for you. Then grow your business using other systems.

4. Treat this as a long-term business, not as a hobby or something to pass the time. Seriously commit to being a successful Big Selling Affiliate.

5. Commit to learning basic internet marketing skills like traffic generation, article marketing, copywriting and testing and tracking. Don’t be distracted by all the other latest and greatest marketing systems and opportunities you’re going to see.

6. Create a plan for your business from day 1, decide what your goals are then work backwards from where you want to be to where you are now, then follow that path.

7. Give yourself deadline to work to because this prevents the urge to procrastinate and teaches you how to accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Are you developing a brand for yourself?

By Brian Terry on Saturday, January 26th, 2008

One of the most important things you can do online is to create your own .

The reason for doing this is to help you stand out in the market place and increase your perceived value in the eyes of your probable customers.

You see brand identities every day no matter what you do or where you live.

They influence you when making buying decisions no matter what it might be.

I’ve done exactly this with my own brand of “Big Selling” websites.

All my domain names use the “Big Selling” name which is part of my brand, this is how people come to recognize me.

The other parts of my brand include the way I present my various websites along with my style of communication.

As a Big Selling Affiliate I’d like *YOU* to develop your own to help you stand out amongst others who are also promoting other Big Selling products.

So how are you going to do this exactly?

The first thing you need to do is to brainstorm ideas based on what it is you can offer other people. Maybe your uniqueness lies in how you help others decide which products are best for them simply by writing reviews of Internet Marketing products. It’s a really easy and straight forward way of getting yourself set up as a big selling affiliate.

What you want to have happen is for people to turn to you as the “trusted” expert.

Here’s how you do it…

In the case of reviewing Internet Marketing related products the next thing you need to do is to register a domain name that becomes your “brand name” people recognize you through.

An easy way of coming up with a domain name is to follow this formula: johnsmithreviews.com. Just change “johnsmith” with your name and you’ve taken the first step in creating your own brand.

You’ll then have a really clear domain name that’s unique to you and it says exactly what is you’re offering.

Once you have your domain name established it’s time to start building the rest of your brand. By far and away the simplest way to to this is to set up a blog because not only are they very easy to manage but the search engines just love them!

Inother posts I’ll show you how to set up a domain name, how to set up a blog using blogspot.com, then I’ll show you how to redirect your domain name to your blog.

The Absolute Simplest And Easiest Way To Get Started!

By Brian Terry on Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

There are many ways you can , you can set up your own website, create a viral e-book… and those are all pretty easy, but still not the absolute easiest!

I would say that the easiest way to is . Running a blog that you can install via fantastico is a new webmasters dream. One click installation, and then all you have to do is add content. Wordpress is a great choice for a new Blogger, but even if you can’t afford to get hosting or domain names yet, you can still .

Do a search for free , but chances are you will end up wanting to use Blogger.com – they are free and the are quite nice.

The best part about using is that they actually “ping” services to tell them that you have added new content. Many of those places then syndicate your content and that brings you back links and plenty of public awareness.

isn’t for everyone. I know I struggle with it, because I don’t really like talking about what I am doing – I would just rather DO IT. But a Blog is a great way to both accomplish something and DO something all at once. Give it a shot – remember you can start a Blog up for free. You will want to add revenue streams into your blog by customizing. What to base your web sites on?

Many experts on the subject of Niche Sites will tell you that you have to pick high paying keywords only. There are so many searches on so many topics every day that you really can get traffic and interest in just about any “sub” category you want.

What I am saying is - don’t make your sites about fishing – make them about Walleye fishing instead. A great free way to pick your topics a little easier is: http://www.nichebot.com/ Just enter in a major keyword and it will spit out some other suggestions and help you find your competition.

Your first site should be about something you enjoy. Writing for the Keywords isn’t any fun, so pick a topic you know something about and just do it.

By Brian Terry on Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

“To succeed at internet marketing you need a growing network of websites. These sites will feed each other traffic, pre-sell affiliate programs, generate adsense revenue, and grow your opt-in e-mail lists.”

There are several ways for you to do this, but they all require a basic skill set.  I’m assuming you know the basics of hosting, getting a website, and creating one.  If you have no idea how to do any of this, it isn’t that hard.

I will be showing you some later on that let you create websites and actually “SEE” what you are doing as you do it.  So don’t worry, if you are not quite sure how to put up your own website, get a hosting account and all that other “scary” stuff you: it is really quite easy, and you will learn about it in this guide…

Here really is all you need to do to :

  1. Get a domain name
  2. Get a reseller account
  3. Make your first site
  4. Make your second site
  5. Link them together
  6. Promote them
  7. Make another site
  8. Link them together
  9. Promote them

A Day In The Life Of An Affiliate Marketer

By Brian Terry on Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Being in the business is not that hard now with the internet at your disposable. It is much easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this…

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on.

The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.

That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program.
