How to Find a Top Rated Affiliate Program?

If you're reading this, then it's pretty safe to assume that you are interested in affiliate programs and very interested in making as much money as possible without working too hard. Well, that's what top rated affiliate programs are for because the only way a program can get to the top of the affiliate world is to provide the affiliates with everything they want and then some. Being proactive in meeting the needs of affiliates pay handsomely, which is why top rated affiliate programs can be counted on to offer the terms that make a marketer's heart race with excitement.

What are the features of a top rated affiliate program? For starters, such a program offers high commissions. The people behind it know that their products will sell very well and don't mind giving up a bigger share of the money in order to motivate affiliates and reward their efforts. If you're spending a couple of hours everyday pondering traffic statistics, thinking up ways to improve your website to get top search engine placement and generating a lot of sales then you deserve those high commissions. And if your conversion rate is high enough, you will be making a lot of money in a short time.

Aside from the high commissions you will need quality affiliate support from the associate program in the shape of free website templates to choose from, free content for your website (or websites) written by professional copywriters, tutorials and guides if you're only just beginning and lots of information and advice on the niche market you are going to be operating in. Plus, you get access to advanced affiliate tools for keyword research and traffic tracking. Another very important thing to look out for is the way products are sold. If the managers ask you to buy the products and resell it to customers, then you're walking into a scam.

But you probably know by now that there are no magic buttons to push that can make you a super affiliate in a couple of days. You'll have to work your way to a position of financial security and you have a lot to learn about how to be a good marketer. But joining a top rated affiliate program goes a long way to making your dreams come true as fast as humanly possible because the sad alternative is to do the same amount of work for less money. And that runs contrary to the fact that you deserve to get as much as possible for your efforts.

Low commissions and small percentages of low prices are highly NOT recommended and working for a greedy bunch of managers is an experience that should be avoided. Why waste time and effort when you can start on the right foot by joining a top rated affiliate program? If some people out there are willing to work for low commissions and others can't find anything wrong with investing their own money in a business that doesn't ever pay off, then let them do it. You have other priorities.

Affiliate Programs and Marketing Tools

The simplest way to make money online working only a few short hours a week is to build a web site packed with content. So much content that once you've made a web surfer land on your web site, they will have to come back for more again and again. Content rules supreme on the new Internet!

So where do you find a lot of it and for very little money? Well, you actually have quite a few options here. There are many article directories and many web site owners that will actually let you use their content as long as you keep the resource box intact. If you are new and you have just joined your first web master affiliate program, that's the best way to go about it.

Free resources are easy to find and will really help you kick-start your business and earn money faster than you otherwise would if you were to write everything by yourself. Of course you will have to write some original content every now and then and the more you do the better your web site will be rated. It's good to have something new to add each week, even when you don't have time or inspiration.

Another way to add new content is by using Private Label Content articles or PLC. PLC generally refers to articles, ebooks and manuals that are free for subscribers to use as they wish. There are a few restrictions, however: you cannot claim copyright to PLC, or submit it to article sites, unless you change the content significantly. Unlike free articles directories, you will have to pay a subscription fee.

They have the very important advantage that you don't have to add a resource box, which always points to some other web site that can steal your prospective customers. You will probably get 10 to 40 new articles a month, depending on the market niche you are interested in. And these articles can really get you going and make some money with the Internet marketing affiliate program you've joined.

How can you use them to make the most of them? If you have a hard time building mailing lists for your marketing campaigns then you can try to see if they would be more attracted to sign up for a 6 month long weekly course, which can be entirely comprised of PLC articles.

And one last thing for you to thrive on the Internet marketing arena, don't use web site templates! I know free stuff is great and easy to find on the internet and I know there are tens of thousands of different web site templates out there, but they will not help you advance your business. You need to think out of the box, you need to be creative and you need to differ from any other web site your customers may see while searching for what they want to buy.

So do yourself a favor and rather than downloading a web site template, try to learn a bit about how to build a web site yourself. It will help you a lot in the long run and will give you all the flexibility you need for a successful business. You can access a multitude of free affiliate marketing resources at MoreNiche™ affiliate program. Famous for high commissions and excellent support, MoreNiche™ will show you how to use affiliate marketing tools to make you money.

This program has worked for me and with very little effort you could make yourself some extra cash so why not give it a try, they even pay you $45 just for signing up.

The Money Making Equation

1 part Self Analysis + 2 parts Effort = Online Income

Before venturing into the world of making money online a little self analysis can make the difference between success and failure, because to ensure longevity you have to have at least a passing interest in the area you have chosen.
Whether it be through websites, blogging, affiliate marketing or even ebay if your not that interested then you are doomed to fail from the off.

Now self analysis doesn,t require an indepth study or even a disection of your life. All that is required is an understanding of how much knowledge or skill you have on any given subject (and you shouldn,t fret as i can guarantee you that you will have) that you can use to leverage yourself a position online.

The areas to look at are your hobbies, favourite movies or books, your job, any of these subjects can be used, but do remember to apply a little latteral thinking and plenty of research. Use the keyword research tool at seobook and gather as much info as you can before taking the next step.
Just try and do a few keyword searches and you will be surprised at what types of things surfers are searching for and in large numbers.

I,ve just found a great affiliate site that has many different products and the provide all sorts of tools to help you promote the products you choose and to top it off the pay you $45 just for signing up. Take a look here www.moreniche.com.

Till next time, have fun.

Why Make Money Online

Today i want to discuss my reasons for making money online and in particular why i started.

It all began for me when i stumbled on a little book called

How To Make A Fortune On The Internet by Ajay Ahuja

This was the book that inspired me to try and persue an online income. It contained valuable info on topics such as building websites, setting up affiliate programs and google adwords.

I won.t bore you with my interpetation of the book but if you are interested in obtaining a copy it is now available in ebook format and can be obtained from

www.massiveandpassive.co.uk

The Site also contains a ton of information and tips for people just starting out online.

So with the help of this book i decided to start by building my own website. I have been writing personalised rhyming poetry for family and friends for many years, so thought i would try and sell them online and so buyarhyme was spawned ( you can see the site at ) www.buyarhyme.com. Although the site is very basic ( please remeber that i didn,t have a clue about building websites before the book ) it catered for my needs at the time.

I used a free program called namu6 and added products, adsense and amazon. So far the site has been successful on a very small scale and has made me a small residual income. This has convinced me that even a novice like myself can make some money online even with very limited skills.

What i loved about it was that i could make a residual income with very little effort and with maximum enjoyment and if thats not incentive enough for persuing an online income i don,t know what is.

In my next post i,ll tell you how i built the website, what programs i used, wether or not it is profitable and more importantly how to get yourself started. So until my next post

Have fun.

Ps If you enjoy rhyming poetry please take a look at my other blog at

Making Money Online

Image via WikipediaHow to Make Money Online
 

Although this blog is about making money online, i am not an expert just a newbie ( e-prentice, rookie ) and my hope for this blog is that as i find my way through what works and more importantly what doesn,t when trying to make money online i can help you to avoid the scams.

Hopefully i,ll speed up the learning process for others and in return maybe some of you can help speed things up for me.

So firstly let me tell you where i am so far.
I,ve been trying to make money online since April 2008 and i have 4 websites up and running ( nothing fantastic but ok for a start ).

I have made some money through adsense but alas not as regular as i,d like and i,ve also made nominal amounts of money with clickbank and a few other affiliate programs.

I am currently trying a few other money making ideas and will post about them soon.

So please keep coming back and hopefully i can ( through my online journey ) help you to start making money or maybe there are a few newbies who would like to get together with myself and come up with a new unique way to make money online.

One last thing, if there ( by some slim chance ) are any successful online money makers out there reading this who could offer some of their expert advice to myself and readers in order to help get our foot on the first rung of the ladder, your help would be very much appreciated.

Please comment on all my posts as your opinion would be very much appreciated and please let me know if you have found any good ways of making money online.

Advantages of Creating Your Own Products

ARTICLE:

There was a lively discussion at the Warrior internet marketing
forum recently. It went back and forth between advocates of
affiliate marketing and those who were telling us it's better to
have our own products.

To me, the clear winner was:

Create and sell your own products.

But by way of injecting some balance into this report...

  1. affiliate marketing is a great supplement and many marketers
are doing both - actually this combo is probably the best of both
worlds,

  2. it's also a great way to get your feet wet at the start,

  3. affiliate marketing is a great way to learn some of the
skills you'll need as a product owner.

If you ask me, you should aim to create your own product. Here are
the advantages:

MOTIVATION. When it's your own business you are building, you're
going to be more motivated. Even if you haven't had a single sale
yet, in your self-talk you can be saying "I am building a six
figure income business".

PROFIT. You get the full profit - minus whatever commission you
share with your affiliates. However they are bringing you
additional sales you would not otherwise have had, so if your
product is either low cost or near-zero cost to produce (such as
information products) then any business that an affiliate brings
you is additional income.

MARKETING DECISIONS. You have your own product which you can
promote freely. You can vary the offers. You can add or remove
bonuses. You alone control the marketing process.

PRICE. You set the price. You can also price test easily and check
whether total revenue is greater at a lower or higher price.

SPLIT TESTING. You can easily conduct split testing by varying one
element of your sales page such as the headline, or even the color
of the headline.

ACHIEVEMENT. With everything you do, you either achieve or else you
learn a lesson. Either way is good.

BUYERS LIST. You build a list of proven buyers - this is your
golden list.

In another series of articles, we look at the whole business of
creating your own products. Don't make the mistake I made earlier -
become an avid product creator. It's not as hard as you might think.

Talking about creating your own products, I've written a book
called Home Business Profits Start Here and I'd be pleased to send
you a FREE copy.

http://eprofitnews.org/ezsales.php?offer=argyll2002&pid=6

If you're looking for information on how to get started in your own
Home Business, the site also includes a list of ELEVEN ways to
find a profitable business idea.

Can You Make Money Without A Website?

It amuses me how I get asked this question all the
time...

"I'd really like to join your associate program, but
I don't have a website. Can I still make money?"

If you're new to Internet marketing you won't see
the funny side of that question, so let me explain...

The most money isn't made by people with websites...
it's made by people with *lists*. I once heard Marlon
Sanders say, "the money is in the list". And he's
right.

If you have a great list... people who trust your
recommendations and when you say "jump" only reply
with "how high?"...you can sell again and again to
those people. That's where the real money is.

Let's see if you've got the concept...

Question: What are most savvy marketers doing with
their websites?

Answer: Turning them into lists.

("join my newsletter", "join my associate program",
"become my customer", etc etc).

So, yes, you can make an absolute fortune without
a website...as long as you have great lists.

Unfortunately, the people who ask me the question
really want to know the answer to, "I don't have
a website, a list, or any Internet knowledge...can
I make money?" ;-)

Use A Niche to Make Money Online

Niche It, Niche It Good!

A second key to online success is to work the small,
profitable niche's.

I'll give you an example.

I wanted to buy a DVD player. Yes, I'd held out long
enough and was ready to embrace the "new" technology!

BUT, I didn't want another box under my TV. So I
went looking for a DVD/VCR combo.

I found one I liked and took it home from the store.

I'm a happy bunny. The Lord Of The Rings is just
spectacular! :-)

OK, back to the niche.

If you search Google for "home business" (without typing
the quotes) you get 6.8 Million results.

If you search Google for "DVD VCR combo" (without typing
the quotes) you get 61,000 results.

Now, if you earn 2% per sale on a $400 DVD/VCR combo
from your local electrical retailers website, that's $8
per sale.

And there's very little competition.

Work the Niche :-)

I recommend Mini Site Profits by Phil Wiley for learning
about cashing in on mini sites...
http://www.scamfreezone.com/phil/

...see if you can have a number one page for "DVD/VHS
combo" this time next month :-)

Early Retirement

Key To Retiring Early...

I was reading Web Gold by Terry Dean last week and
he mentioned how residual income is a key to success
for many people.

It's easy to see how Terry's right. If you have a job,
you have to keep working to earn money.

If you have a business, you have to keep selling to
earn money.

But, if you sell a product through recurring billing,
or if you sell products as an affiliate and earn
residual income, you can reach a level of success
which will enable you to stop working!

For as long as the person buys the product, you take
a slice of the revenue.

Even if you sold to them five years ago.

Of course, if you're an affiliate, you have the same
risks that the merchant may go broke.

And if you're the merchant, you still have to provide
the service which the customers are paying monthly
for, and provide customer support.

But the fact is that building a residual sales income
will provide greater stability and revenue than making
continuous sales.

Try to build a residual income stream into your
business, and let me know how you get on :-)

By the way, I've got tons of great info from Terry's
site...

Proven Weightloss

Image via WikipediaThe benefits and uses for Proactol as part of healthy diet.

Through the use of Proactol as part of your normal everyday eating plan you can achieve effective weight loss and still enjoy your favourite foods (in moderation).Proactol has been clinically proven to reduce fat intake from food by up to 30%.

Just a few of the benefits :

1.Reduce your fat intake from your food

When the non-soluble fibres contained in the supplement come into contact with fats from food it binds with them to form a gel around it.
Which in turn passes through your body naturally and thus preventing your body absorbing the fat.


2.Help to suppress cravings and appetite

One of the biggest problems with diet programs is the constant cravings for food types and an increased appetite.
With this supplement the bile acids will join with the soluble fibres that it contains, creating a viscous solution which will in turn slow down food digestion thus creating a feeling of being full for a longer period of time.


3.Suitable for vegetarians

Proactol is a fibre complex that's made from the leaves of the "opuntia fiscus indica" cactus. This makes the supplement 100% natural.It is also free from allergens, artificial colouring salt and preservatives.
Proactol is clinically proven and used correctly will help to achieve the desired body weight and shape that you desire.



My name is James and after watching my wife struggle with her weight for many years and finally achieve her desired weight after using Proactol, l feel that this supplement is truly the answer to healthy weight loss.
