Your Own Customized Pre-Sales Page

That’s right I said ‘pre-sales’ page as opposed to sales page. Why you may ask? Well remember you’re selling other peoples products so they already have a sales page.

The pre-sales page is where visitors will land first before proceeding to the sales page. Here you’ll only want to remind them of their wants, needs, or reason for being at your site to begin with. Give them a preview of what they’re about to see or perhaps a review of the product itself. DO NOT attempt to sell on this page! You merely want to arouse the interest or curiosity of any website visitors before they see the actual product promotion page itself!

Collect Names

Any online business will want to get the contact information of their website visitors to market to them in the future. This is a great way to accelerate the growth of your business! Having a ready list of folks to contact you can easily contact with any product promotion is a much easier and cost efficient way to get traffic to your website!

It is a common practice online to offer some sort of free gift to website visitors in exchange for their contact information. An informative ebook or inexpensive piece of software would work just fine as a giveaway.

A Marketing Plan

The key to your success online will be based in your marketing plan. Simply stated this is how you will get traffic to your website. Depending upon your product, market, and/or budget you will decide how best to drive traffic to your site. Without traffic you have no customers, sales, or business for that matter.

These 3 key principals will be the foundation upon which you’ll build your affiliate marketing business. With the proper effort and execution in these areas your business will prosper while you profit.

Affiliate marketing is simple, but far from being easy. I’ve come to this conclusion after caoching many people. Most of the people who start my affiliate and Internet marketing coaching program don’t have a clue about how to make money online.

In fact, they are complete newbies.

While every marketer is telling you that affiliate marketing is the easiest money you will ever make, you really need to look at the fact.

Did you know that 95% of the associates marketers don’t make any money?

This is another example of the pareto law. You know, 20% of the people make 80% of the money.

Let me show you how I take students who are complete beginners and instantly propell them in the 20% category.

The first thing I tell them is to start with one article. I tell them to write one article. Once they wrote the article (sometimes, it can take hours or even days), I tell them that they need a website and a web hosting, but I advise them to create a blog instead of a site.

Why? Because it’s faster and it doesn’t require any specific knowledge or skill.

The goal here is to make the first commission as fast as possible while learning the basics of affiliate marketing.

So here it is, the best way to start for beginners is to create a blog, pick an affiliate program on clickbank and write and submit article to directories.

I am going to give you a simple and highly effective strategy that is almost guaranteed to increase your monthly paychecks if you take action.

Write and submit articles about your affiliate niche.

Let me explain how this method work.

First, it works so well because the Internet is a big information recipient. Everyone is searching for information and nobody like blatant ads (these ads make millions of dollars though).

Please understand that I do not claim that paid advertising doesn’t work. It works very well.

What I want to make you understand is that you can earn a lot of money by providing people with the information they are searching for.

Let me give you an example.

When I first started online, I typed “make money online” in Google, and then I started to read everything I could about the subject.

This is what most people do. Whenever they have a problem or want to learn about something, they perform a search in their preferred search engine.

This is where you come in.

You want those people to find your articles. Furthermore, you want to come with the exact answers that these people want.

When you do this, people will trust you. And when they trust you, money will start to come into your bank account automatically because people buy from people they trust.

You will be recognized as an expert by many people and you will make a lot of affiliate commissions as a result.

What I am speaking about here today is the distinct advantages this particular online business model offers to entrepreneurs.

Let’s have a look 5 compelling reasons you should consider this type of business model as a way to earn money online:

PRODUCT SUPPORT

Selling other peoples product enables you to focus on marketing. Product delivery and support is handled by the vendor allowing you to sidestep issues and headaches that could take up a lot of your time.

PROVEN DEMAND

Before you make a decision as to what product to market you are able and should check the strength of the demand. This is a huge advantage which helps to insure you’re promoting products people want. The time, cost, and frustrations you’ll save are invaluable.

MARKET RESEARCH

In the planning stages of any product there is the need for market research to be conducted. This ‘feasibility’ study checks to see the demand or need for a product such as the one you may want to produce. It also indicates a ‘fair market’ value or price that you may charge that would be acceptable to the consumer. As ‘painstakingly’ time consuming and expensive as this process may be, it is necessary to determine these things before product launch. This could save you from the very costly and frustrating experience associated with a product that flops.

The very premise of affiliate marketing allows you to promote products that have already been successfully tested for demand and price. Your need to become involved in any type of market research is unnecessary.

INTEGRATES EASILY

The ability to easily integrate affiliate products into varying types of online marketing methods is a huge plus! Whether you choose to market using a blog, website, social network channels, or even social media you can EASILY promote any type affiliate product.

RECOGNITION THROUGH ASSOCIATION

Sometimes for someone just starting out in the field of online marketing, the lack of name recognition can be an obstacle. Well promoting the product of a more widely known name in the affiliate business allows you to overcome these obstacles. Ultimately people want to feel secure with WHAT they’re purchasing more than with WHOM they’re purchasing from. Their ability to associate the product with a familiar name is a great asset for you and will help boost your sales.

As you can see affiliate marketing programs are a great way to earn money online without all the fuss of customer support and product research. The opportunity to choose ALREADY market tested products to promote is a popular and efficient way to make a living. It allows you to focus on mastering your marketing skills which ultimately will be the measure of your success online!
