Wealthy Affiliate Has Added Even More!!

2008-09-02T14:47:00.005-05:00

I haven't updated in a while, and I apologize for that. I have been pretty busy with getting my kids ready to go back to school. I am so THANKFUL I have the time to do that now. When I was working a full-time job, I would have gone crazy trying to figure out how to fit that into my schedule. By working from home, I make my own schedule, so not a problem now. :)

I wanted to let you know that Wealthy Affiliate has added some great new features. Since I've last posted about Wealthy Affiliate, they've added:

* An easy to use website builder - Build your websites in a few minutes without having to know html coding or programming.

* The WA Jobs Board - Find some great offers from people looking to help fellow Wealthy Affiliate members by providing their unique services or offer your own talents for a price.

* The Rapid Writer Service - An internet marketer's DREAM tool allows you to generate highly optimized content for your articles and websites.

All of this added to the already extensive list of features, and still for the same price. I am just thrilled to be a part of Wealthy Affiliate University. Without the help and support of the creators, Kyle & Carson and the other members, I would still be working an outside job and trying to fit my life into that schedule.

Affiliate Marketing - Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line

2007-08-23T11:06:00.005-05:00

In online marketing, there are many ways in which you can raise your profits and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most of the strategies and methods can be learned easily.

One of the most important ways of increasing your online marketing income is through the use of product reviews. Most marketers know that this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain product.

If the customers or visitors trust you, then they will trust your recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually wear thin. This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly exaggerated and without much merit.

Do not be afraid to comment on things that you do not necessarily like about a given product or service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your testimonial more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.

Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in what you are offering, they will be more than delighted to learn what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.

When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to remember on how to make it work effectively and for your advantage. Sound like the true and leading expert in your field.

Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion to trust. If your visitors feel that you are an expert in your niche, then they will be more comfortable making a purchase. On the other hand, if you are not exuding any confidence and self-assurance in endorsing your products, they will probably feel that same way and will go in search of another product or service which is more believable.

How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new solutions they would not get anywhere else. Show proof that what you are promoting works as promised. Display relevant testimonials and endorsements from respected and known personalities, in related fields of course. Avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident, than to scream and seek attention. You would not want to sound unprofessional to your potential customers and clients. Best to appear cool and self-assured at the same time.

And remember, prospects are not stupid. They are always turning to the experts and may already know the things that you know. If you back up your claims with hard facts and data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even thousands of dollars to your promotions. But if you don’t, they will look at your competitors and what they are offering.

While recommending a product, it is also important that you give out promotional freebies. People are already familiar with the concept of offering freebies to promoting your own products. But very few people do this to promote affiliate products. Try to offer freebies that can promote or even have some information about your products or services.

Before you add suggestions to you product, it is always a good idea to try and test the product and support yourself. Do not run the risk of promoting junk products and services. Just think how long it took you to build credibility and trust among your visitors. All that will take to ruin it is one big mistake on your part.

If possible, have recommendations of products that you have 100% confidence in. Test the product support before you begin to promise that the people you are referring it to would not be left high and dry when problems suddenly appear.

Have a look at your online market and look at the techniques you are using. You may not be focused on the suggestions that your products should have. Your plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your program work.

Try product endorsements and be among those few who have proven its worth.

3 Rules All Internet Marketers Need To Know To Succeed Online

2007-08-21T14:29:00.000-05:00

Every internet marketer is always looking for the profitable market that provides the biggest paycheck.
Sometimes they believe it is a magic formula that is automatically available for them. Actually, it is more difficult than that. It is just logical marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.

There are techniques that have worked before with affiliate marketing and are continuing to work in
the affiliate marketing world of today. With these top 3 marketing tips, you will be able to able to boost your sales and succeed in internet marketing.

What Are The 3 Tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not bulk all of it
together just to save some cash on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each product and nothing more to distract your potential customers.

Always include product reviews on your website so your visitors will have an early impression on what the
product can do for them. Also, include testimonials from users who have already bought the product. Be sure that you get consent from these customers to use their names and pictures on your site.

You can also create articles promoting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an
additional page. Make the pages attractive and compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should influence the visitors to read more, and possibly contact you. Highlight your special
bonuses and points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and they will want to find out more.

2. Offer free resources or reports to your visitors. If possible insert them at the very topof your page
so they simply cannot be missed. Create an opt-in for visitors allowing them to sign up for your newletter. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect through email
marketing.

Usually two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: a closed sale or the prospect leaving
the page and never returning again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified periods, you will remind them of the product they thought they wanted later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the information is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Make this sound more like a suggestion for their benefit rather than a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier for them or more
enjoyable. Include revelant subject lines in your email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still some spam filters that dump those kinds of content into the junk before anyone
ever reads them. Remind those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something very valuable if they do not take a look at your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. If your visitor has no interest in what you
are offering on your page, they will move on and never come back. Write articles to submit to e-zines and e-reports. This way you can find publications that are focusing on your target visitors and what you
submit may just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By steadily
writing and maintaining these articles you can achieve as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day. Remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If
you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, this means you could made 10 sales based on the average statistics.

The strategies given above do not really sound so difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little bit of time and some action on your part.

Try to use these tactics for several internet marketing programs you are running. You can build a great source of income and succeed in this business.

11 Weeks As A Wealthy Affiliate Member

2007-07-24T09:12:00.000-05:00

Remember when you were in school and had a really hard time grasping the concept of a particular subject and the teacher worked one on one with you until you got it?

Or, maybe you didn't get that one on one help and it really could have made a huge difference for you.

Last month, I posted about how I was watching a specific thread on the Wealthy Affiliate Forums about a member who had been struggling for quite some time and was about to just give up. Travis has been working with him and he has come a long, long way in just a month! And, so have I, to tell you the truth.

This one thread, for me, has been more valuable than I can even explain to you. I am so thankful that they have allowed the rest of us members to follow along in Travis' teaching. He has taken this "student" by the hand and is walking him along step by step, teaching him (and the rest of us) what needs to be done in order to create a highly profitable niche.

If you have been struggling yourself with internet marketing, I hope you will take some time to visit Wealthy Affiliate and see if it can be the difference for you.

They Are Doing All My Hard Work....

2007-07-10T09:18:00.000-05:00

Today I want to tell you about a new site that I just came across. It's called Private Label Club and it's brought to you by Jason Oickle.

To say that I am impressed would be a major understatement. I mean, what he is offering to free members is just insane. This is one of the very few sites that I have found that is litterally giving away so mach value to free members!

There really should be a monthly price tag on just the free membership alone!

Go see what I mean by clicking here: Private Label Club

What I love the most about Private Label Club is the powerful elite membership. I mean, on top of the free content, as an elite member you'll also get 300 plr articles, 24 headers, 12 adsense sites and 3 private label ebooks. And you're going to get all that every single month like clockwork.

This is not just any old crappy content either! Jason has a team of very talented people to make sure you get only the highest quality possible. It truly is superb, this is the only plr membership I will ever need.

I don't want to waste any more of your time so I urge you to click the link below and secure you're free membership before Jason decides to lock the doors forever.

Dont let someone else grab your spot!

Squidoo Queen Meets Bum Marketing

2007-06-25T08:31:00.000-05:00

You may have heard of Squidoo or Squidoo Lenses by now. If not, Squidoo is similar to blogging. You create "lenses" about the things you are passionate about and would like to share with the world. Squidoo is HOT right now and is a great way to promote your products or links to help earn some money.

Kelly, one of the members of Wealthy Affiliate, has created a guide on how to use Squidoo for marketing. The guide shows you how to combine Squidoo with article marketing, how to keep your lenses fresh and in top ranks with Google, how to use Squidoo to build your lists, and much more.

This guide normally sells for $97.00, but Kelly has discounted it for a limited time to $29.00. If you are interested in learning how to use Squidoo to enhance your marketing skills, you can visit the site here: Squidoo Queen Meets Bum Marketing

Kelly also offers a Free guide on getting started at no cost and with no purchase necessary.

Free Hosting??? Blew My Mind!!

2007-06-21T07:52:00.001-05:00

I have been singing nothing but praises for the founders of Wealthy Affiliate for all of the effort they have put into being so supportive. After the initial shock of actually finding real people willing to help out a gal like me learn the ins and outs of Affiliate Marketing, I had just gotten use to the idea and although still amazed, I was calming down.

Until Now....Wealthy Affiliate now provides FREE WEB HOSTING!! I think ALL of the members are in shock in a Very Pleasant way.

Here's a run down of what they have given to members:

-600 MB Space (supports 600 - 6000 web pages)
-120,000 MB Transfer
-15 Email Accounts
-15 Email Redirects
-3 External Domains
-30 Sub-Domains
-15 Domain Aliases
-3 MySQL Databases
-3 Autoresponders
-IMAP & POP3 Supported
-Domain Contact Management
-Webmail
-PHP MyAdmin Database Management

This is a blessing for many of the members, including myself. The package is comparable to most web hosting programs out there, but it's included for free with our membership. Awesome! I don't have to pay more for web hosting.

So, let me take this time to recap for myself what it is I am getting for $29.99 a month:

One on One Coaching
Research Tools and Keyword Lists
A Priceless Forum (the most supportive I have ever seen)
Website Templates
Affiliate Tools
My Own WA Space For Networking
Adsense Support
Excellent Resources and Courses
Video Tutorials
AND Free Hosting!

And going back to school would have cost me what??? I'm Happy :)

Week 6 As A Wealthy Affiliate Member

2007-06-18T08:15:00.000-05:00

An Apple For My Teachers

I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for 6 weeks now and I continue to be amazed at the support of not only the founders, but also the other members. I will probably start to sound like a broken record but, I am SO HAPPY I found this group.

I had been making so many mistakes that were costing me money I really did not have to just throw away. By being a member of Wealthy Affiliate, I have learned many ways to promote my affiliate links without spending a dime! I can't even explain how much this alone has helped me. The suggestions and advice given have truly been a miracle for me and my family. I am learning at my own pace, working at my own pace and earning more than I had in the previous years I tried to do this alone.

Some of the members have posted screen shots of their ClickBank earnings or have just come right out and said what they earn and that keeps me motivated. They prove that the more time you can invest the more money you can make.

I am not going to post here how much money I am making, because everyone earns at different levels. I'm sure I am probably not earning nearly as much as someone who has more time to invest. I've only really just started to do things the "right way" and the routine of my household keeps me pretty busy, but I am able to work in my spare time. If I can make money in the little moments I have, imagine what the people with more time are making. And, I'm excited to know that the more I learn, the more I'll earn.

If you are interested in a Sneak Peak of Wealthy Affiliate and the resources they provide, I have a post that shows some screen shots and information. You can view this by clicking here.

Secret Tool For Quadrupling Adsense Earnings!

2007-06-02T09:59:00.000-05:00

I wanted to take a few minutes and tell you about a new software product that's literally tripling and even quadrupling thousands of Google Adwords and Adsense User's monthly earnings.

This new keyword software program allows you to plug in a root keyword and it will immediately generate thousands of highly profitable Adsense keywords. Heck, it'll even create Adsense optimized web pages for you... but that's really a side benefit of the program.

You can monitor your Adwords competition to see which keywords are actually making them the most earnings each month. That's a Very Beneficial Feature to getting top rankings!

The software even allows you to create your own Adwords ads and them upload them to your Google Adwords account, without even logging into your account.

Anyway, I won't go into all of what the software can do in this post, but you can visit the URL below to watch several demo videos that the creator of the software has made.

If the videos and testimonials at the website don't get you excited, I don't know what will. I'm excited just writing this post. :-)

Anyway, visit below to have a look at the demo videos. Enjoy!

Week 4 As A Wealthy Affiliate Member

2007-06-01T14:51:00.000-05:00

This is my 4th week as a member of Wealthy Affiliate and I have to say I am amazed! I have already learned so much and have started making sales. YAY! I can't even explain how exciting this is for me.

I have been banging my head online for years trying to figure this stuff out and now I'm finally getting the hang of it all. I'm not where I want or need to be just yet, but I can honestly say I am well on my way. I wish I had discovered Wealthy Affiliate long before now, but I guess everything comes in it's own good time.

I am keeping my eye on a forum thread that has been a great deal of inspiration and motivation to me. One of the members has been struggling for quite some time and had gotten to the point of throwing in the towel when Travis, a more experienced member, jumped in to walk him through the process step by step. This isn't the first time one member has basically taken someone by the hand to guide them through the process.

I have never been a part of a group of people online who have helped other members with such care and understanding. Maybe this sounds silly, but I feel as if a door finally opened up to me. I have found a great forum, awesome tutorials, great tips and advice and finally some much needed guidance!

My Journey

2007-05-14T19:47:00.000-05:00

When I first started out on my journey of becoming a WAHM (Work At Home Mom), I was so excited by the notion that I could easily make more money sitting at my computer than I could with any traditional job. It became my mission to find exactly the right opportunity for me because I needed to be able to stay home with my children. I have three children, two with special needs, and the ONE job I had that allowed me to work non-traditional hours that would fit the needs I had with my kids, closed their doors due to economic hardships.

That was 3 years ago.

During the past three years, I have bounced around the internet trying every opportunity that interested me. I've spent an unmentionable amount of money purchasing all the "How-To-Guides" and buying all the books. I've lost an enormous amount of time and a river full of tears. I was desperate to find anything that I could earn money with working from home while making the same income I had made before. The excitement about possibly making more had dwindled. I just knew that I needed to make ANY income at this point.

It seemed like the harder I tried, the more impossible it was becoming.

The one opportunity that kept surfacing during all my trials of mlm's and direct sales was Affiliate Marketing. I knew that this was what I was interested in doing, but I could never get the hang of it. So, rather than researching this avenue, I'd wander off into the world of dead end work from home schemes, spending more time, money and tears. And not getting anywhere. Not learning anything.

Finally it dawned on me. That was it! I wasn't learning anything! I am the type of person who needs One on One training and support. I researched Affiliate Marketing differently. I needed to go to "school". I needed a teacher.

By some miracle, I found Wealthy Affiliate and I found much more than a teacher. I found support, guidance and most importantly, motivation. I definitely needed that! I had started to feel as if this whole thing was hopeless and I would never be able to "get it right". Now, I feel excited again. I feel like - No - I KNOW I can do this! I just needed to find the right resources.
And I have.

Mom's Review Of Wealthy Affiliate

2007-05-30T08:06:00.000-05:00

Affiliate marketing is an incredible way of making money online and can be achieved by anyone with a computer and an internet connection. Affiliate marketing is a very real opportunity that allows for one to work a few hours on their computer by researching and publishing relevant information on the internet and then earn great money from links to products and services that are offered by merchants in many industries.

Learning to become an effective affiliate marketer is a task that you should certainly undertake before investing a lot of your financial resources. What is the best resource for learning affiliate marketing? Other affiliate marketers. The ones who have already been where you are and have already gone through the steps you are going through. Learning what they do and how they do it is very important.

Whether you are a beginner just starting out in affiliate marketing, an intermediate internet marketer needing some help with Google Adwords, or an advanced internet marketer wanting to become a “super affiliate”, Wealthy Affiliate can help you get to the next level. Wealthy Affiliate is a private membership website that will show you how you can make money by promoting products on the internet in a variety of ways. One of the great things about Wealthy Affiliate is their informative online tutorials and videos are extremely easy to understand.

The Wealthy Affiliate Forum is, in my opinion, priceless. Probably the most incredible thing about Wealthy Affiliate is the personal support you can get from the founders of the site, Carson and Kyle, and other Wealthy Affiliate members. Some are earning $1000’s a day and share their tips with the other members. If you are looking for personal coaching and support, Wealthy Affiliate is most definitely at the top of the list. The members all make learning affiliate marketing fun, easy, and very rewarding.

After joining, members have access to all of the learning resources, which are organized in areas of Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Each section has tutorials, tasks and courses for members to follow in order to learn to become a successful affiliate marketer. They also provide templates for members to use when making landing pages.

By learning the steps it takes to simplify and organize your marketing efforts you can save time and energy, earn more income, decrease stress, improve your performance, and get more results in less time. However, learning to be a successful affiliate marketer can sometimes be a huge challenge to many people. If you really want to become a successful affiliate marketer, you must see such set backs as essential and natural learning points. The members of Wealthy Affiliate have either gone through what you are going through, or are still learning themselves. They are all very supportive.

Remember, the biggest secret to success online is taking action. Affiliate Marketing is truly an at home business that anyone who spends the time necessary to get started can do successfully, if they know how.

I highly recommend Wealthy Affiliate to anyone wanting to learn affiliate marketing or wanting to advance their skills.
