Okay it’s Monday and you’ve had most of the weekend to read and test drive the Marketing Method I sent you that proves you can start an Internet Business with no product, no experience and no money. If you're new or didn't get my email, sign up here to get on my list so I can send you the tutorials and info that you'll need to start making money on line.
This
is not to say there aren’t pitfalls in affliate marketing. As mentioned in the Marketing Method, choosing
your niche is very important. There is a fine line between picking something
like weight loss or health tips which are very popular and something obscure,
say for instance, Latvian basket weaving.
The
problem is weight loss products already have A Lot of
affiliates plowing that field. Same goes for health tips so there’s too much
competition for a newbie. On the other hand the number of people interested in
Latvian basket weaving might be too small to generate a profitable niche.
As
mentioned in the article the best way to get ahead of the competition is to use
laser targeted keywords to get your selected product on Google’s first page.
Nearly all the top affiliate marketers swear that’s the fastest way to get your
income stream flowing.
So
let’s review the steps so far.
First you create
a separate business email account. This is crucial if you’re taking this
seriously. Without one, none of the free sites I will be directing you to will give you
access and I won’t be able to forward you the video tutorials that explain the
process. Also, keep in mind you can cancel access to your email by simply
scrolling down to the bottom of the company’s ad or offer or whatever and click
unsubscribe and you won’t hear from them again.
Once that’s
done, you sign up and get a free account at www.clickbank.com then you go click on marketplace on the
toolbar and start searching for a product you think will sell. Here’s a trick
to tell what’s a potential top seller and what’s a dud. If you look under the
product you’ll see its stats. Focus on the product’s GRAVITY. I have the
location of that stat circled in red on the clickbank picture below. As you can
see the gravity of this product is 183 which is very good. That means the
product is selling well.
Rule
of thumb is anything over 50 shows real potential, but it also means a number
of people are marketing it. So go with something you’d buy yourself. In fact
you should consider buying whatever you intend to promote if you can, this way
if it is as good as you think it is, you’ll gladly promote the hell out of it
and make some money. And if it’s a bomb, then cut your losses and try something
else.
I
suggest you start with inexpensive products first. Just to see what you feel
comfortable promoting. Then when you start making some money, email me at czarrichards@gmail.com and I’ll
send you a three part, nearly 5 hour tutorial by one of the very best affiliate
marketers who will show you— step by step— exactly how to find and promote the
products with the highest commissions and the greatest conversion rates
(conversations is when a person views the product you’re promoting and decides
to buy it.)
Next
step. You’ve found a product that you like and think will sell.
Congratulations! The question is, how do you get it out before the buying
public? Here’s a secret, whenever someone is looking for something, THEY
USUALLY GO TO GOOGLE FIRST. Then they scan the first page. People rarely go on
to the 2nd page so page one
is where you want your product to be.
But how do you get on page 1 of Google? The answer is laser targeted keywords.
And what are keywords? Keywords are single words or phrases that people looking for something on the internet type in to find what they’re looking for. The one's I used are on the bottom of this page. On one of the previous steps I explained that by placing the word or phrase in quotations inside the google box, google will tell you how many searches have been made for that word or phrase.
The
goal is to get a low number but without becoming too obscure, which is where
nobody will find your promo ad or article. So let’s use “exotic fish” as an
example on Google. Search results, 842,000. Way too many. How about “rare and
exotic fish” that drops it to 157,000. Better but still too high. “Rare exotic
and predatory fish” brings us down to 127,000. So we still got a way to go. How
about “Rare exotic and predatory fish in Los Angeles” You would think being
more specific would lower the searches. Nope. Just the opposite, it jumped to
63 million! So always check them before you use them.
So
let’s try a mix with similar words. How about “exotic and unusual fish” BINGO,
my friend. That drops the searches to 9,450 which almost guarantees a 1st
page spot on Google if you put that phrase in the title of your ad or article.
If you do, you’ll very likely get some conversions. Cha-ching!
Next step. How
do you make people aware of your product? One of the many ways is to write
an ad or an article. Ads are especially easy and can be placed for free. Here
is a FREE tutorial that walks you through the process.
