For Affiliate Marketing Traffic Equals Profits

Without traffic your internet business cannot produce any profits. This should be obvious to everyone. If no one sees your business, you cannot have any business. So, one of the key elements of your business plan should be a way to drive traffic to your web presence.

Regardless of how you get it, you want traffic. As more and more visitors visit your website, you will have more potential to convert more visitors into customers.

Some traffic tactics will drive smaller amounts of traffic to your website than others. Generally, tactics that will drive large amounts of traffic will cost you a large amount of money or time.

Word of mouth is one of the slow methods. If you rely only on word of mouth, it is doubtful that you will succeed in making much money online. You want a large volume of traffic to your site. This is what most online marketers strive for, since profits will come from larger volumes of traffic.

Most internet businesses are volume driven “the lack of overheads allows prices to be kept low. The competition means prices must be competitive. There restricted margins means that profits come from big sales volumes. This does not mean that you have to sell in millions (either units or dollars)” everything in proportion. But volumes are critical to your success.

One source that has the potential of delivering volumes of traffic is the search engines.

Searching online for what we desire is something that thousands of people do each day. The problem is that very few will take the time to look at more than the first or second page of search results. Therefore many will pay for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) submission programs and other sources to try to get their pages optimized for the best search engine rankings.

This can result in better results. But what if you could optimize your site yourself? That is what Spider Language allows you to do. Click Here To Download Your Free “Google Spider” Report

If you’ve spend a lot of time and effort getting things all set up and getting your affiliate marketing product out there and you are not seeing the sales that you expected, you should take a serious look at this free resource. Your perfect sales funnel that you expected to entice visitors to opt-in and maybe buy you product just isn’t working.

Maybe there’s a reason. You may be experiencing a common problem. One that many people really have no idea is happening to them and they have no idea what they’re doing wrong.

In reality they are not doing anything wrong! They just are not doing something that they should be doing.

There could be a really disturbing thing happening. The links to your affiliate marketing product may be getting changed. A large percentage of computers now have some sort of spyware on them and more recently there are spyware programs that will change affiliate links on the host’s computer from your affiliate ID to the spyware creator’s. That means you’re doing all of the work and they’re STEALING your sales!

If you’re sales have decreased or you are making less sales that you expect it’s very possible that this is your problem. Using your current affiliate links there is nothing you can do to stop this problem. But there is a solution:

CLOAK YOUR LINKS!

Some people attempt to hide their affiliate links by using a URL shortening service or something to get a different URL that cannot be edited. However, I would not recommend that. You could select a service that will break your affiliate cookies and you won’t get the sales at all. More recently there have been a few link cloaking services that are directly related to affiliate marketing – these are the ones to get to help you with this problem.

Make sure you select one that can be hosted on your own site and that will allow you to change the links, etc. You probably shouldn’t try and make your own redirect script (unless you’re a programmer) – you might end up not having any affiliate cookiesl.

I have found a program that can do just this and it is covered very well in a free report about link cloaking. It’s over 15 pages of information about link cloaking and why you should use it. If you’re serious about getting the sales that you deserve from your affiliate marketing efforts and stopping the thieves in their track, I recommend you download it now.

The report is titled ‘Cloak & Dagger Affiliate Secrets’ and it will show you all of the reasons that you should link cloaking, as well as the different ways that people can hijack your links.

Building Your List With Email Swap

Have you noticed what I’ve been doing? Well, if you are not on my list you might not have a clue. But, I’ve been building my list with email swaps.

You are building you list, aren’t you? I would say ain’t you, but supposedly it ain’t proper. Anyway I hope you are serious about building your list. I have come to conclude that it is the most vital thing that you can do for your internet/affiliate marketing efforts; i.e. your business. Your online efforts to make money will likely fail if you are not building your list.

You may come up with all kinds of things that you think are more important than building your list. If so, please leave a comment below and tell me what and why. I have tried just about everything that all the so called experts said and did not see any success until I started building my list.

Now, to be fair many of the gurus advocate list building also. Two things on that: one, I never sensed the urgency and two; they never really got around to telling me exactly how to do it. Lots of good information but no details on exactly how to do it.

I have been involved in 2 list building exercises recently and they are starting to reap dividends – that’s spelled subscribers.

Giveaways events and email swaps.

You have seen some links for some of the giveaway events that I am involved in. Here is a link to one the current giveaway events that I have joined. DotCom Profit Creation Giveaway

But, the list building method that I want to talk about right now is email swaps. Here is the basic concept. Remember, I said basic – i.e., an outline.

You contact someone and ask him(her) if he will send an email to his list for you and you will send one to your list for him.

How will that get subscribers for your list? The key is that in the emails you both send out will give away something of value. I will talk about the contents of one of the emails – the other email works the same way.

You write an email for your swap partner to send to his list. In that email you say something like: My friend, yourname, is giving away a free report (whatever you are giving away) and it is yours by clicking on the link below.

You can elaborate on that as you see fit. The idea is to write briefly and convincingly so that the reader of the email wants to click on the link. When your swap partner’s subscribers get the email, many will follow through because they like getting something for free.

Once they click on the link, they are taken to what is commonly called a squeeze page or landing page (there are other names). On that page there is an opt-in box or sign up form that must be filled out in order to get the free gift.

Once the form is filled out and submitted the process is started. In this post I will not go into that process in any more detail. If you would like more details get my free report. And, yes that link leads to a squeeze page.

Once a person completes the sign up process, he gets a link to the free report and is subscribed to your newsletter. Some internet marketers call this an ethical bribe. You get subscribers by exchanging something (your free gift or bribe) for their name and email address.

As a result you list grows. Also your swap partner gets to grow his list as people on your list sign up for his ethical bribe. It’s a win-win situation for both of you.

Email swaps work and you will get new subscribers.  Just note that several of your new subscribers will shortly unsubscribe. Why, I don’t know; but that’s OK. You just keep on building your list with this and other list building methods.

By the way, if they unsubscribe they will not see your next email swap and they will miss out on the future gifts that will be offered by your swap partners as well as any that you offer.

I’ll say it again, as will nearly all other internet marketers; the money is in the list. So, start building yours now.

So now you know what I have been up to and will continue doing. I hope you will get your internet marketing efforts into gear by implementing this plan into your list building efforts. However you do it – start building you list now.

To Your Online Success,

The Most Important Skill For Successful Affiliate Marketing

This is an article by a guest author. But Doug had stated it very well. It is important to use as many list building method as you can to promote your affiliate marketing efforts. Your affiliate internet marketing online business will not be successful if you do not get traffic to your site.

Read this article and then follow the advice to get targeted traffic to your site and your will find that your efforts to make money online will be enhanced greatly. Enjoy.

The Most Important Skill For Successful Affiliate Marketing
By Douglas Champigny

It’s well-known that there’s a need for affiliates to build their opt-in lists, and that failing to do so is the main mistake made by affiliates. But to be successful as an affiliate, both for making money online and for building your opt-in list, one very important skill must be mastered – the most important skill for successful affiliate marketing.

In fact, this one skill is the main ingredient in the success of all online businesses, and the most important tool in your affiliate marketing skills toolbox: the ability to drive massive amounts of targeted traffic to your links! Whether you’re sending that targeted traffic to a free report on a butterfly-marketing type of site, a free download to entice them to join your list, to your blog in whatever niches you operate in or directly to your affiliate links, the number of targeted visitors you can mobilize quickly is going to be directly reflected in your affiliate commissions.

The good news is that many of the most powerful tools and techniques used by traffic masters are free, or require a very low investment – one that can often be made back on the first couple of affiliate promotions you do after including the new tool into your marketing mix, leaving you with pro tools with no net cost in short order.

The bad news (for some) is that it takes work – true effort – both to learn these various promotional techniques and to apply the tactics to any given affiliate opportunity. If you thought affiliate marketing was a way to make a lot of money online with little or no effort, you’re sadly mistaken and have probably been reading the salespages of online scammers, not professional super-affiliates. None of us got to where we are today without a lot of effort, even those who are able to outsource a fair bit of what they do – just learning what’s needed and how it must be done is necessary before you know what to outsource!

Now this doesn’t mean you’ll have to use every one of the traffic generation strategies in every affiliate marketing promotion you get involved in – far from it. Some techniques are short-term, bringing in targeted traffic almost immediately but then tapering off or stopping altogether, while others take time to build momentum, but can keep supplying visitors for weeks, months or even years. Tweets on Twitter are a good example of the former, while article marketing and video marketing are better examples of the latter.

So it stands to reason that if you’re promoting a 3-day sale, or even a week-long event, you’ll want to rely on your short-term, immediate-response tools. If you’re promoting a product or service that will be ongoing, especially one that pays residual commissions, you’ll want to use them all. Start with the techniques that bring instant traffic, then shift your focus to the mid- and long-term sources to ensure you continue to make money from your efforts for that opportunity. The higher your recurring commissions the less time you need to focus on making quick bucks, and the greater amount of your affiliate marketing activities that can be focused around list-building, pre-selling and getting involved in pre-launch joint-venture opportunities.

Start right now, today, and set the goal for yourself of learning as many different ways to drive targeted traffic as you can using both free and paid traffic sources. As your knowledge grows so should your ability to mobilize targeted visitors almost on demand, and that’s one of the biggest keys to achieving the super-affiliate status and big affiliate paydays you’re dreaming about now!
