Affiliate Marketing Beginners Basics > 5 Part Affiliate Marketing Primer
1. Affiliate Marketing Beginners Basics – Overview
Welcome to your first lesson in the Affiliate Marketing Beginners Basics Crash Course.
Over the next few days, you will receive several lessons that will help you learn the ins and outs of affiliate marketing.
First we need to know about the benefits of affiliate marketing and how you can use it to make a little extra income or even a full time living. Affiliate marketing allows you to earn a commission by promoting the products and services of others. It is usually a very simple process that anyone can do once they understand the basics.
It works on a referral basis, where you (the affiliate) send consumers to the seller’s product pages through your own unique affiliate ID and link. If that consumer makes a purchase, you will get a percentage of the sale. Of course, there is a bit more to it than that going on behind the scenes like cookies and tracking, but for the most part that is how it works.
Tip: Most affiliate programs will provide you with tutorials on how to create and set up your affiliate links. This training should include how to place them on your website, blog or in an email. If you need more help with this, please feel free to contact me.
One of the biggest advantages of affiliate marketing is that you don’t have to put in the time and effort of creating a product to sell. You can start promoting as an affiliate as soon as you sign up and are approved by the seller. You will also need a plan for promotion, which we will be talking more about later in your lessons.
There are many ways and places to find products to promote and the commission you earn will be determined by the product seller, so it’s important that you understand their terms before you invest your time, effort and money marketing for them.
Many sellers offer their own affiliate programs directly from their websites while others work through big networks like:
JVzoo
http://www.jvzoo.com
ClickBank
ShareSale
https://www.shareasale.com
Commission Junction
http://www.cj.com
You can also promote products from mega companies like Amazon:
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com
These affiliate networks are very popular and offer many diverse products, which allows you to choose what type of products you want to focus on. They also offer a different payment structures so make sure fully understand how you will be paid.
For instance on JVzoo you can earn anywhere from 10-100% of the sale. The average is 50% per sale. Sometimes the seller (vendor) will pay you instantly and other times you have to wait because they can set their own terms. Your payments are directly deposited into your PayPal account.
Side note: If you don’t have a PayPal account you should definitely get one because many affiliate programs have the option for pay out through them which will give you faster access to your profits. It’s free, easy and very handy.
Here is the info and sign up link:
https://www.paypal.com/us/signup/account
On bigger networks like ClickBank and Amazon, you are paid according to their thresholds and schedules. This means that you have to make a certain amount before you get your check or deposit.
Be aware:
On big networks like Amazon, your commission is usually starts out much lower and increase with volume of sales, which means you have to sell a lot more before you start seeing big commission checks.
With individual websites the product owner determines the commission structure and payment schedule so again make sure you understand their terms, that they are reputable and don’t be afraid to ask them questions before you begin promoting for them.
Whether you choose to promote products from an affiliate network or an individual website is completely up to you. The networks do offer a certain amount of protection as far as payment is concerned. However, many privately owned websites offer generous benefits to affiliates. A mix of different networks and websites is a good idea because it brings in different revenue streams for your business.
2. Affiliate Marketing Beginners Basics – Tactics to get Started
Did you know that you have the potential to earn thousands of dollars each month when you apply yourself and learn the ins and outs of affiliate marketing?
It may seem like a pipe dream to you right now, but I know real live people who are doing just that and they started just like you by learning the basics and growing their business.
Now, it doesn’t happen overnight like so much of the hype you hear online. To build a profitable affiliate business you will have to invest your time, efforts and even some money depending on your promotion strategies. You will have successes and failures along the way and they will teach you what works and what doesn’t.
The most important thing I want you to remember is not to get discouraged if you don’t start seeing profits right away. When I first started marketing affiliate products, someone told me to think of it like planting seeds in a garden. You have to tend it consistently in order to help it grow. So, every link you share and promotion you run is one step closer to success. Just remember your determination and hard work will pay off.
When you are first getting started, you should focus on a specific niche or topic and promote affiliate programs that are related to that market. For instance, you could focus on pet related products, self-help books or moneymaking topics. It’s not a good idea to sign up for a wide range of programs on different topics because you won’t be able to focus your efforts on targeted promotions. So start with a single market, and promote products that appeal to it. Once it starts making money you can branch out to other niches if you want too.
Always do your research and select the best affiliate programs for your niche. You want to choose programs that are rewarding, reliable and have a good reputation for paying on time.
Look for sellers who offer high quality, well-priced products as well as promo tools and swipe files that you can use to promote their products. This will make is easier for you to sell their products or programs.
Another good tip is to look for affiliate programs that offer recurring commissions to their products with nice monthly payouts. As I mentioned in your last lesson, 50% is good. These types of products can lead to nice amounts of passive income that can continue even after your initial promotion because you’ll earn a commission from the initial sale and regular payments for as long as that customer remains active. Membership sites are an excellent place to start if you want to earn recurring commissions.
– Create a promotional strategy for your business.
For example, many affiliate marketers build a website or blog focused on their chosen niche, and use it to publish high quality content, reviews and recommendations that are related to the products they are planning to promote.
If you decide to go this route all of the content you publish should be focused on the affiliate programs or products you recommend and getting your visitors to click on your affiliate links. This is called content marketing and it is an excellent way to establish a solid foundation for your business.
If you want to get some good ideas of how this works just do a search online for any product along with the word review and you will return lists of sites that are run by affiliates. Here is an example, do a search for P90x. As I’m writing there are currently more than ten pages of results in Google alone and most of them are affiliate run sites.
If you have a niche in mind for your business, start doing some research on this method and think about how you can incorporate a website into your promotional strategy.
3. Affiliate Marketing Beginners Basics – Choosing Affiliate Program and Targeting
Setting up a website or blog is a great asset for your business and if you decide that it is a good option for your business, you will have to learn a few things like how to set it up and how drive traffic to it. Which isn’t something we are going to have time to cover in this short course however you should definitely do some research on the topic.
Another thing you will want to do is build a list of contacts (email) so that you can grow your business. There is no better way to generate income on demand. With that said, this isn’t a must for promoting affiliate programs but it will make your job easier. Once you have a list of subscribers, who are interested in the types of products you plan to promote you will be able to send them information, updates and offers.
As we discussed in your last lesson it is very important to do your research when it comes to choosing an affiliate program to promote. The same can be said for researching your target audience. You need to know as much about them as you can. What are their interests, where they hang out, do they have money to spend and what types of products they spend it on?
For instance, if you are promoting cosmetics, you need to know how they research, what websites do they visit? Do they hang out on FaceBook or Twitter? Do they do most of their shopping in stores or online? Knowing these things will help you create a solid plan for promotion and the better your conversions from visitor to customer will be.
Yet, another good reason to get to know your target audience is because once you figure out where they are it will make it much easier for you to get their attention. For example if you find out which social media sites they use the most you can set up an account and use it as a vehicle for your promotions. If you aren’t quite sure how to collect this type of information there are plenty of websites that offer consumer data.
One of the most important things to remember about affiliate marketing is to play to the strengths of your audience. You should think about what they want and why they buy that way you can create campaigns that are relevant to their interests and they will be more likely to click on your ads and links.
4. Affiliate Marketing Beginners Basics – Product Promotion
Successful affiliate marketers know this is a great way to attract visitors who are interested in what you are selling. It is also a great way to establish yourself as someone that can be trusted and statics show that people are far more likely to make a purchase from someone they know like and trust.
However, it is important to be careful in using this approach. If you start promoting every product that, hit the market or worse yet products that aren’t any good your credibility will suffer. You should always be honest when writing your recommendations as well. People often mistrust content that sounds exaggerated or untruthful.
Do not be afraid to mention things that you don’t like about the product or service your writing about because it make your recommendation more realistic and it can also help
increase your credibility.
If your visitors are interested in what you are offering, they will be more than happy to learn what is good about the product, what is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.
Always try to show proof that what you are promoting works as promised. If you take the time back up your claims with facts and data, visitors will gladly click your links and make a purchase. Posting testimonials and endorsements is a good idea too. Many times, you can find these on the seller’s website. Just make sure you ask permission before you use them. You can also poll the people who have already purchased a through your link to see how they like it.
Avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident when you are promoting affiliate programs. Always do your best to sound professional and your visitors and customers will be more responsive to what you have to offer.
It is a good idea to recommend products that you have tried or at the very least from sellers you trust. Whenever possible test the product before you begin to ensure that, the people you are referring it to won’t be left high and dry after they purchase. Some sellers will make review copies of their products available to established affiliates so don’t be afraid to ask.
5. Affiliate Marketing Beginners Basics – Affiliate Tips
It is a proven fact that most people don’t make a purchase on the first time they visit your website or read and ad you post. In fact, it can take several exposures to an offer to get them to take action.
That is way it is extremely important to do everything within your power to collect contact information from your website visitors, social media followers and customers who purchase through your links.
As I mentioned in your third lesson when you have a list of contacts you can email them with updates and offers that will appeal to them. When it comes to colleting email addresses there are many methods you can use. It is also a good idea to use an email service with an autoresponder so that you can automate the follow up process and make your job easier.
A great way to entice people to join your list is to offer them a free gift like a report, ebook or even a short course like this one. You can also publish a newsletter, which will give you a great reason to stay in touch with your subscribers on a regular basis.
One of the biggest benefits of building your list is that it gives you the opportunity to
develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers, which goes back to the know like trust aspect of marketing online that we discussed in the last lesson. If people recognize you as someone who is honest and trustworthy they are more likely to purchase through your link.
This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative emails and publish helpful reviews you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that often leads to making more sales.
Before we close this last lesson, there are a couple more things you need to know to help ensure your success. They are the importance of cloaking your affiliate links and tracking your campaigns.
Link cloaking or masking is a process that replaces your long affiliate URL with one that is shorter There are many reasons why you should cloak your links like it looks better, is easier to work with and most of all it disguises your affiliate ID and protects it from being hijacked by other (unscrupulous) affiliates.
There are several ways the you can do this. My preference it to use a WordPress plugin called PrettyLink because it makes it possible to shrink, cloak, track, organize, share and test all of your links so they look like they are coming from your own domain, which adds to your credibility.
There are also a wide variety of free link cloaker’s like TinyURL and GhostURL as well as fancy paid ones. They are very easy to use and they can make a big difference in your campaigns
Lastly, it is very important to track the progress of your campaigns so that you know
what is producing results and what isn’t. This way you won’t waste your time and money promoting programs that don’t convert. Again, there are many ways to do this from using a simple plugin like PrettyLink to track clicks to setting up a (free) Google Analytics account where you can monitor the activity of your campaigns.
Many affiliate programs and networks like JVzoo, ClickBank and Amazon have built in software that will track your clicks, campaigns, conversions and sales, but is a good idea to have an outside tracker as well because even though they are reputable it doesn’t mean they are infallible. When it comes to maximizing commissions, it’s always better to be sure than sorry!

Easy Online Promotion Tips > 12 Part Primer
1.Easy Online Promotion Tips
If you are an entrepreneur or have a small business that you are actively trying to promote, then there is no doubt that you will be able to capitalize on the many different forms of online advertising available. These methods include search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, online newsletters, and website advertising.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of making your site more easily found by search engines. These search engines send out spiders, which scan your page for content and keywords. They then use this information to rank your website on their result pages. This way when consumers use the search engine to find information about a particular topic, product or service they are presented with relevant options to choose from.
SEO can be challenging. The ultimate goal is to get your webpages listed on the first page of the search engine results. In order to achieve this you must maintain a good balance of keywords in the content of your site. Using the same word too many times can get you excluded from the listings; so don’t stuff your page with the same keyword over and over. It won’t help you in get a high ranking. Instead, put carefully chosen keywords in the title tag of your webpage, in the headings, and in the major paragraphs.
Next we have one of the more popular and successful forms of online promotion. Sending out an email newsletters and promotions. All you need to do is offer to send the visitors to your website a free newsletter each month when they give you their email addresses. This is a great way to promote your business because you are reaching the same person repeatedly.
Every time you send out a newsletter or promotion you are giving the recipient another chance to take advantage of your products and services. The best part is that you can eventually get hundreds or thousands of people to sign up for you newsletter. Just make sure that you are sending them a quality content each that is professionally written. If you’re not a writer, then you can hire someone to perform this task for you.
There is also pay per click advertising (PPC). In case you aren’t familiar with PPC it is an ad service offered by companies like Google Adwords and Facebook. It is a great way to promote your business because you can start seeing results right away. The way they work is simple. The ad-serving network will put your ad on the search results or participating websites that are relevant to your site based on the keywords that you chose to target. Whenever a person clicks on one of your ads, you will have to pay a small fee, usually a few cents or more depending again on the keywords you’re bidding on.
With this method, you don’t have to worry about being charged too much because you set your own monthly budget and once that runs out your ads will stop being shown for the remainder of the month.
The last method we are going to discuss is website advertising. Many content-based websites sell very inexpensive ad space. This can be in the form of banner or contextual ads. When advertising on someone else’s website, do your best to pick a site that is relevant to the product or services you are advertising without being a direct competitor. This way you can get you ad in front of consumers who are interested in what you have to offer.
With this type of advertising you can go directly to the website, you want to advertise on or you can go through and ad severing network similar to Google Adwords. Perform a search for “online advertising networks” and you will find a wide variety of options.
Here are a couple places you can check out to help you get a better understanding of how these networks function.

2. Easy Online Promotion Tips
Online marketing is a very powerful tool for anyone who wants to sell more products and services.

– Patience
You need to remain patient during the initial phase of your campaigns. While online marketing is much faster than more traditional forms of advertising, chances are that you won’t see a lot of traffic or sales in the beginning. Any new campaign requires time.

3. Easy Online Promotion Tips
Online marketing has many benefits in the way of promotion. Not least among those is the ability to increase awareness and revenue from the products and services you offer. When used effectively it can give you access to a much larger consumer base.
No doubt, you’ve noticed that everywhere you go online you see advertisements in the search engine results, on websites and even on social networks like Facebook. These ads draw clicks, or visits, to other websites in order to attract more customers. If you want to make more sales, you need to learn how and where to advertise.
The first place to start is by doing your research. Once you know the types of websites your target audience likes to visit you can contact them directly to see about advertising on their websites. You also have the option of using services that will automate the process for you.
One of the most popular forms of online advertising is Pay-per-click. Facebook and Google Adwords are both are excellent examples of this type of advertising. You simple set up an account, create your ad copy then they show it on targeted website and you only pay for ads that are clicked on by consumers.
Tip: Be aware that even though they are very effective they do have a big learning curve, so please make sure you educate yourself before you start investing.
– Quality Content
You wouldn’t put up an ugly sign up in front of your store and call it effective advertising any more than you would run a newspaper ad that doesn’t have anything to do with what you’re selling, right?
The same hold true with the content you post online, whether website, blog or a social media site. Whenever you are posting content online in order to promote products and services you need to make sure that it is closely related to what you’re selling.
Great content is the one of the best ways to draw in customers, and let them know exactly what you have to offer. It can be the difference between having people look in your window and walking away, or getting them to come in to buy.
On top of being important for boosting sales, providing great content that incorporates the right keywords and phrases will help boost your website ranking on the major search engines like Google, Bing and MSN, which can lead to more visitors and more sales.
– Social Networking
You probably already use it for your personal needs, but why not use Facebook, Twitter and other social networks for your business as well. This will get friends involved with marketing your business marketing. Using social networks well can help you build brand awareness alongside a solid fan base.
Social media marketing is all about building connections with your audience so that they can see you are authentic and there to help. In the end, you will gain their trust and loyalty.
4. Easy Online Promotion Tips
Achieving maximum return is based on how well you develop your online promotion strategy. It can be extremely difficult to differentiate yourself from the competition when you do business online. For any product or service that you sell, it is likely that there are dozens, hundreds or even thousands of other businesses available who are selling the exact same thing.
To maximize your potential, it is important to use strategies that offer the best options to your customers. You should set yourself apart from the competition; continuously attract new customers and retain current clients.
What products and services do you offer to your clients or customers? It is so important that you offer the highest quality in whatever it is that you are offering. If you cannot stand behind your products and services, it will be unlikely that you will attain your business objectives.
In order to develop your online promotion strategy, you will need to look at exactly what you have to offer and determine first what audience it will appeal to and how you can reach that audience. It’s unlikely they will come to you without you developing a way to make them take notice of your business. You can easily find ways to target your potential clients by identifying them and then looking specifically at ways to utilize the Internet to get the information about your products and services to them.
After you have determined what you have to offer to your potential clients and customers and looked at ways to use the Internet to reach them, you next need to look at ways to differentiate yourself from your competition. If you and five other online stores all offer the exact same product and service, why should they choose to buy from you instead of one of the other businesses?
What, exactly, can you offer to ensure that you are the most valuable choice that they can make? Whether it’s free shipping, enhanced support, superior reputation or any other factor, you need to identify these explicitly to your potential clients.
Finally, you need to continuously attract new customers as well as retaining your current clients in order to remain viable in your business objectives. Although some new clients will probably be reached through word of mouth promotion from your existing clients; you cannot count on this as your only means to build up your clientele.
You need to continuously find new ways to reach additional shares of the marketplace. You may also need to continuously update your products and services in order to continue to appeal to your past clients. If you sell a one-time-use kind of product, look for any products or services that may be related or may enhance your primary offering.
Always remember to go back to your past clients in order to advertise new offerings while showing how valuable they are and reminding them of the value you’ve offered in the past. By diligent work, you can develop your online promotion strategy and enhance your ability to reach your business objectives.
5. Easy Online Promotion Tips
The term SEO floats around the Internet, but exactly what does it stand for? The simple answer: it stands for search engine optimization. Which is not very helpful in laymen terms, so let’s go a bit more in depth.
What we can gather just from the name is that SEO is a process of optimizing a website or page for search engines. Well, we all know what search engines are, but what does it mean to optimize for them?
Used as an online promotion technique it makes a website visible to consumers who use search engines. Whenever someone searches for something on Google, Yahoo or Bing they’re shown several pages of results. If you can get your website listed on the first page of the major search engines it can mean a ton of free promotion for your business.
Typically, most people only click on results found on the first or second page of these results, but sometimes a search can result in 10 or 20 pages and the average user often ignores all those extra pages. That is where employing SEO strategies can help.
Let’s go over a few that you can use:
If you want to achieve good search engine rankings, you must use your keywords and keywords phrases effectively. This include adding them to your content in several places including in the page title.
When you are optimizing your pages keep in mind that the title tag is different from a Meta tag, but it’s important to consider it as a part of your SEO strategy. Whatever text you place in the title tag (between the <title> and </title> portions) will appear in the title bar of browsers when visitors view the page.
The actual text you use in the title tag is one of the most important factors in how a search engine may decide to rank your web page. In addition, all major web crawlers will use the text of your title tag as the text they use for the title of your page in your listings.
If you have designed your website as a series of websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must bear in mind that each page of your website must be search engine optimized. The title of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the phrases you use in the content will draw traffic to your site.
The unique combination of these words and phrases in the content will draw customers using different search engine terms and techniques, so be sure you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or information page.
The most common mistake made by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their business name in every title of every page. Actually, most of your prospective customers do not bother to know the name of your business until after they have looked at your site and decided it is worth book marking.
Therefore, while you want your business name in the title of the home page, it is probably a waste of valuable keywords and space to put it in the title line of every page on your site. Why not consider putting keywords in the title so that your page will display closer to the top of the search engine listing.
Another good tip is to keep the title tag less than 64 characters long and do your best to ensure that the title tag and your meta description are interesting, meaningful, and relevant to your site.
Now I know all of this can sound confusing especially if you are new to promoting online so don’t worry if you don’t know how to edit code and insert title tags and descriptions. It isn’t a hard skill to pick up and if you hired someone else to build your website for you they should have no problem helping you with SEO.

The Internet offers a unique opportunity to market your product or service without investing a lot of money. You might find you need to invest considerable time and effort, but you can’t really expect to succeed at anything without investing time and effort, can you? The uniqueness of the Internet as a way of communicating means you must adapt your marketing strategies to take advantage of its strengths.
The place to start is your website. If you’re trying to market your product or service over the Internet, you no doubt have a website. Once your site has been carefully written to tell people what you do, how you do it, who you are, and why they need what you do, and carefully designed to support that message, it will hopefully start generating some traffic.
Track and analyze that traffic. Most web hosting companies offer traffic analysis data to clients. It is probably your best tool to evaluate the effectiveness of your website’s performance and your marketing techniques.
If you take the time to understand the data, you can start to understand what makes your audience tick. Is one page attracting most of the traffic? Is there one page out of a series of pages where audience members tend to ‘tune out’ and stop clicking? This can be a handy way to figure out what parts of your website need to be spiffed up.
Where does your audience come from? The data can tell you that too. You can find what search terms got them there, what sites they’re coming from, how long they’re staying, etc. All this information updates regularly, so you can assess the effectiveness of any changes you make.
Try to get quality companies who do things that relate to what you do to link to your site. Links generate traffic. Of course, you won’t get many competitors foolish enough to link to you, but whatever you do; there are no doubt companies with good reputations who do something relevant to what you’re doing. Link building is one of the Internet marketing techniques that can dramatically increase your link popularity. Your link popularity is a major part of how your site gets ranked by search engines.
If your site isn’t intended to sell a product or gain a customer, what is it for? Seriously! Think about it. Your online promotion techniques should have a clear purpose, and every page on your site should focus on getting the visitor to take an action. That doesn’t necessarily mean buying something from you immediately. It can be as simple as filling out a form, sending an email, making a phone call, or just moving along to the next step in the process.
Your website shouldn’t just be a billboard announcing that you’re open for business. You want to compel visitors to follow along a specific, well thought out, carefully mapped path that leads to a sale. Your promotions should lead potential customers systematically, into a sales funnel, not attempting to push them into instantly purchasing from you.

If you are going to have a successful online business, then it’s important that you know the basics of market research so that you improve the visibility of your business online. It is common for a person to dive haphazardly into internet marketing programs without knowing their target audience, or even enough about their business.
This is what makes internet market research so important. By conducting this research you are better prepared to know who your target audience is as well as the best methods of reaching them.
Many companies find that the markets they serve are filled with customers, competitors, and continually changing marketing conditions. Meeting the demands of these constantly changing conditions is one of the most difficult aspects of promotion. It’s because of this that market research is so important.
The same promotion techniques that work today are not guaranteed to work in the future. This marketing research can provide information on what the target market is going to look like in the future, and how to prepare for it.
Research is the process of gathering information in order to learn about something. Yes, that is a simple definition of something that is actually quite complicated. For the marketer, research is not simply for the purpose of learning, but is an extremely important ingredient in the decision making process.
Online market research will give you a full picture of both what is occurring and what is about to occur in your chosen marketplace. When it is performed well it can let you know what the best choices are to be made. Marketing decisions are less risky when you have looked at all available options.
There are countless decisions to be made in business that are effected by marketing; these include: target markets, products, distribution, promotion, pricing, external factors, and others. Each of these marketing segments will require research. It is important that you perform the correct research for each of these segments or you will be wasting your time.
Because promotion involves people, it is one of the social sciences. Social science is the study of people and how they react to different situations. In marketing, you study people and how they react to different marketing campaigns. Many marketing research techniques, such as surveys for example, are in actuality scientific experiments.
Not all marketing research will require studies to be performed, but if these studies are not performed correctly then they are producing inaccurate results. Of course, any research, no matter how well performed, has the ability to be wrong.
It’s because of this that you must use several different methods of research in order to get the accurate results. Research reliability depends on making sure that the data gathering leads to accurate results. If you always make sure to conduct the proper Internet market research, you will find that your business will be much more profitable than if you had not.

It will also allow your customers to perform the same activities via multiple channels make your business accessible to them from anywhere at any time which can increase the consumer interactions substantially.
The simple fact is that one form of communication isn’t enough for today’s audience. Each style of communication has its own set of pros and cons. Which is why it is best to use more than one. That way when you launch a new campaign you can connect with consumers in multiple ways at the same time. For instance, you could send a direct email in conjunction with a social media post and a text message.
– Have a goal
Don’t start a mobile marketing campaign until you know exactly why you want to have one. You may want to have extra revenue or draw in more readers, but whatever the reason, you need to track the information you receive to find out if your program is really successful.
– Accept feedback
Some mobile marketers have outgoing only messaging, meaning that a customer cannot text them back without going through a lot of hassle. Let your customers talk back to you to improve the focus of your plan, and know if you may need to do something differently.
– Develop an app
Apps are programs for mobile devices that interact with customers in many different ways. They provide easy access to your business through the program the customer installs on their phone. Make your app useful and appropriate to attract the most attention and downloads from your current and potential customers.
– Customer appreciation
Make sure your customers know their business is appreciated. Give them special offers, discounts based on hallmark goals or even a simple thank you note. They need to know you value their business or they may take it to someone who will go that extra step.
– Keep it clean
Keep your material clean in order to keep your brand clean. Sending out raw, unfiltered material, even if you think it’s worthy of attention, can be detrimental to your mobile marketing efforts. Things don’t have to be outlandish to draw attention. They just have to be worthy of someone’s time.
– Make it special
If you often have great sales or giveaways, consider using SMS to get the word out. Text messages shine in their ability to cut through the clutter of an otherwise busy, application-filled mobile device. The messages usually trigger a pop-up notification on the system, making SMS a terrific choice for getting the word out about a sale that can’t be missed. But be careful to only text message customers who have signed up to receive them, as many people feel SMS mobile marketing is invasive. It could have the opposite effect than your intent.
You should expect mobile marketing to grow since the use of mobile platforms keeps increasing. Within the next few years, most people will own a smartphone. The best way to take advantage of this trend is with a solid mobile marketing strategy. It will help you stay ahead of your competition and put you in the perfect position to effectively promote your business, products and services to tech savvy customers.

Social media promotion can be a very daunting task, especially if you are new to the process. Knowing what to do and not to do is the key to your success in this area. The techniques we are going to discuss in this issue will help you to maximize the results you see from your social media campaigns.
Take the initiative to follow your customers and reach out to them away from social media. If your customers have a blog and are posting about your company, engage with them and interact on their blog. Link to their content on your social media pages and this will encourage more people to follow you from the bloggers fan base.
Keeping track of comments, reviews, and blogs related to your business is an important part of social media marketing. There are many tools that you can take advantage of to alert you when new content about your business is posted. Keeping track of what others, particularly past customers, are saying about you is a great way to identify areas where your business could use improvement. It is also a good way to see which parts of your business have been effective.
Your headline is crucial to a good post. Most social networks encourage you to keep your posts short, and if you were to post a long article, chances are no one would take the time to read it. Try posting a link to your article with a good headline that both grabs your readers’ attention and explain what the article is about.
Make sure all of your posts and articles have social share buttons or links. This button makes it easy for your readers to like and share your content. Most people won’t take the time to share your content if they have to go through copying and pasting a link.
Add a link to your Facebook page or Twitter Bio. Also, add a ‘like’ button to your Facebook feed and a ‘follow’ button on your Twitter feed on your blog or website. You can easily find HTML codes for these in the settings of your Facebook/Twitter profile. This will allow your visitors to ‘like’ or ‘follow’ your page and subscribe to your posts without having to look you up.
Don’t neglect LinkedIn or Google+. While they may be less popular than Facebook and Twitter, you can find extremely influential users on these networks. You should also add their social share buttons to you website and in any articles, posts or promotions you publish. It will help you cast a wider net, attract more followers and increase the odds that others will share your content.

Marketing is one way for us to build our business into something respectable. Using video marketing is a great way to promote any business. People love videos and they make your website more interactive so it’s important to use them if you can.
When using video marketing, it’s important that you realize that your viewers likely have short attention spans. Therefore, you don’t have long to hook them. The first 10 to 15 seconds of each video should be the strongest. This is where a special point-of-view or teaser can help entice them to watch the whole video.
Content is King, even in video! If it’s not fun to watch or providing great information, why would anyone watch it? When it comes to video promotion, it’s very important to come up with content that people actually search for and take the time to watch.
Encourage your viewers to comment on your video and share it with friends. The more buzz your video generates, even if it is slanted negatively, it can be very advantageous. Sharing the video helps spread your message to other people with no effort on your part, and people are more likely to view something sent from a friend.
In your video marketing, let the viewer know why it is that you offer the product or service that you do. They can easily see what you offer, but let them know the reason behind it. Open, authentic and candid communication engenders trust, which engages new audience and retains previous buyers.
Pay attention to the analytic charts regarding your videos. You can see things like how many video views you have, when it is viewed and where the traffic comes from. These findings will give you more information on your niche and help you improve your campaign.
Never, never, never try to sell your viewers something in your video. Instead, offer your visitors something worthwhile such as a demonstration of how to do something or how to use a product. By offering relevant information, your visitors are more apt to visit your website, which could in turn result in a sale.
The right way to video market your company has been laid out before you, so you should now be prepared to get down to business. Using the ideas, which now swirl in your head, draft a campaign that you believe will work and follow through with it until you reach your goals.

Every business owner knows that the key to a successful marketing campaign is leads. Without leads your campaign will fail and you end up losing a big chunk of your marketing budget.
As I have mentioned before there are many PPC search engines available including Google Adwords, Yahoo Search and Bing Ads, which are three of the most popular places to start. Each one of these ad platforms operate on the same basic premise. They display your ads on relevant websites and you pay them every time someone clicks on your ad. While they are all similar, they each have their own guidelines to follow.
It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations before you begin your campaign. The all provide extensive help files and tutorials that you can use to help further your education. You can check them out by visiting the links below.

To understand how pay per click works, let’s pretend that you have a website about collectible toys. You’ve written a great guide all about collectible toys and you sell it from your website. Maybe you also sell some rare pieces.
You want targeted traffic to come to your website. In this case, it would be people who have searched for collectible toys online. They are already interested in the topic of your website. That’s makes them targeted traffic.
The best keyword to use for your pay per click campaign would be collectible toys. But there’s a pretty good chance that other people might want that same keyword. So you would have to bid on it, and the highest bidder gets to use it.
If your website was especially designed for people who want to learn to make money with collectible toy’s, your phrase could be more specific aimed just at them. This keyword might bring you better-targeted traffic and have less competition.
Once you have your keywords and you decide how much you want to spend per day on your PPC campaign, then the company will display an ad that links to your website. If you won the keyword collectible toy’s, then when someone searches on that phrase your ad will be displayed on the search page.
Also, if there are websites dealing with collectibles, toy’s, and other related keywords that have joined the network, your ad may display on those sites so that their visitors might click through.
Your ad will be displayed until the purchased number of clicks have occurred, then it won’t display again until the next day. If you’re getting 100 clicks for $5, and you’ve set your budget for $5 per day, then even if you get 100 clicks in 20 minutes the ad won’t display again until the next day.
Because you can plan your campaign like this, based on a budget per day, PPC is an excellent way to market your business, products or services. It’s best to start out slow with a small budget of around $5 per day. Let it run for few days. If at the end of that time you’re not making sales out of all those clicks, then you know you need to adjust your ad copy.
It might be that your ad copy needs changed, or your landing page needs tweaked or it could just be that the keyword you chose isn’t hitting the right market. All of these things can be adjusted through careful testing, tracking and campaign management.

1. Easy Blogging Tips
In order to attract enough traffic to see any real results, you have to come up with a long-term plan that will not only bring in traffic but also ensure that it’s a consistent and continuous flow of targeted visitors.
The first method we are going to discuss is social networking which is extremely popular right now. This method includes the integration of both the social media and social bookmarking sites. To benefit from social media, it’s a good idea to have accounts dedicated to your blog on the top social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+.
The reason why this is so important is that, you can easily share your blog posts on these accounts and if your followers like the content, they may end up sharing and recommending them to their friends and followers. This helps spread your content and increase the amount of traffic your blog receives. The same applies to the social bookmarking sites like Digg, Reddit and StumbleUpon.
To help expand on this method you can take part in discussion forums, respond to all of your readers’ comments, and always include a link to your blog in your email signature,
posts and responses.
The next strategy we are going to discuss is the importance of posting high quality and relevant content. The main reason why people visit your blog is for the content so when it comes to having a successful and profitable blog content is everything.
The trick is to make it captivating enough so that your visitors want to keep reading and coming back for more. When you are creating content it’s important to focus on writing headlines that grab the attention of your visitors so they want to know more and then follow it up with quality content that delivers exactly what the headline promised.
Also, make sure that the content is easy to read; up to date and that, you are posting regularly. This will help keep your visitors engaged and also have SEO (search engine optimization) benefits. As you are creating your content it is a good idea to think about the keywords and phrases you want to target and weave them into your headlines and content where appropriate. Just don’t go overboard. You don’t want to sacrifice the quality of your content for just for the sake of more keyword usage.
Another tip, when including pictures, name them properly (with keywords in mind) so that, when someone is searching for images, yours will show up in the listings hopefully at the top.
The last strategy we are going to discuss in this lesson is often ignored by bloggers but it has the ability to drive large amounts of traffic to your blog when used correctly. You may be surprised to know that you can get a lot of online visitors by promoting your blog through offline advertising. This technique involves including an easy to remember link to your blog on business cards, flyers and pamphlets. It can also include posting ads in your local newspaper, trade journals and magazines that your target audience would be likely to read.
If you want to get fancy, you can purchase some airtime on your favorite radio station, which isn’t as expensive as you may think. In fact, if you can entice them to interview you about your business you can get a ton of free exposure. One of the best ways to score interviews is by writing and submitting press releases. Just make sure they are news worthy and enticing.
Telling your friends, family and colleagues about your blog is always a good idea. You can also taking part in blogging conferences, networking events and if you can swing it opt to be a sponsor, which will get you and your blog even more attention. While these offline techniques may seem a little old-fashioned they still work and have the potential to bring in a lot of visitors that may not have found you otherwise.
2. Easy Blogging Tips
A good blog needs high quality, interesting and fresh content to keep visitors interested and coming back for more. In theory, updating your blog may sound easy enough. However, it can be a time consuming and often-daunting task, which is why there are so many abandoned blogs floating around the internet.
If you want your blog to be popular and profitable you have to plan ahead and a great place to start is by setting up a blog calendar or schedule for writing and posting to your blog. This will help keep you on track as you write and help eliminate distractions.
As you create your schedule, make sure that it is conducive to your personal routines and preferences. Otherwise, it will be too hard to follow. For instance if you prefer writing early in the morning make sure your schedule reflects that. The idea is to choose a time when you are most likely to be creative.
You also want to get rid of any possible distractions so log out Twitter and Facebook. Turn the ringer off on your phone and shut down you email, close Skype and any other interruptive applications before you start. Only open the tabs you will be using for your research and close all the others to avoid wasting time. You need to be focused when writing to avoid wasting your time and to allow your creative juices to flow.

Finish the entire post and then go back to correct the grammar and spelling mistakes. Doing this will help you to write faster as you will not be worried about the mistakes.
Before you start, writing take some time and gather all the information and essentials you’ll need when you’re writing. Whether it’s a glass of water, cup of coffee or your favorite snack get it before you sit down. It’s also a good idea to conduct any research necessary to get the job done that way you can write without stopping to look something up or to check on certain facts.
Lastly, start with an outline. Just like an article, a good blog post should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. If you take the time to write down the main points of your post, before you begin writing, you will be able to complete the task much faster by simply filling in the details. You should also break your post up into readable chunks by incorporating and attractive heading and subheadings.
Once you are done writing your blog, turn on the spell checker and go through your work correcting all the grammar and spelling mistakes. Read the post and edit it as necessary to ensure that the ideas flow and that the blog post is flawless. By using these simple tricks not only will you be able to write faster it will help ensure you are able to stick to your schedule and write great blog posts that will bring in more visitors for your blog.

Turning your blog into a big success doesn’t happen overnight. When you’re building your blog following, it’s important to develop relationships with others who have similar interests. A good blog needs external interaction. Unfortunately, many bloggers don’t understand the importance of this type of networking and consequently, they end up missing big opportunities.
One of the best ways to start developing relationships with other bloggers is by commenting on their posts. However, you have to be smart about it. Avoid posting nondescript comments like ‘great post’ and moving on. If you have genuine interest in the topic, take a moment to share your exact thoughts. You want to expand the conversation by being helpful. This way the blog owner and their followers will recognize you as someone they want to get to know.
The same holds true for people who take the time comment on your blog. Don’t ignore legitimate comments instead respond with meaningful replies that will are relevant and inspiring. You also want to follow other bloggers who are popular in you niche. Especially the ones who have chosen to follow you.
Whenever you find a blogger with good content, you can include a link within your post. Whether they have similar or differing views or products, you can create a relationship with them and learn a few things from them. It is a good strategy to get people talking. You can also share blogs on your social network pages.
Guest posts are another great opportunity for getting more recognition. Many blogs welcome submissions; you just have to look for them. Just make sure that you don’t submit a post on an unrelated topic to a popular blogger and expect to have it considered.
Try to share something of interest to the people that already follow the blog and it will work in your favor. You can also allow guests to share posts with you. It’s a great way to add additional content to your blog without doing the work yourself.
4. Easy Blogging Tips
You need some simple ways you can speed up your blog because nothing drives visitors away faster than slow loading pages which makes this a very critical step for getting more traffic, views and profits.
Did you know that web pages that load quickly are normally ranked higher in the search engine results compared to the web pages that load slowly? It’s true!
Google and search engines usually use the blog’s page load speed when searching algorithms. This is based on the fact that a page loading fast gives better user experience compared to a slower loading page.
The best place to start is by testing and monitoring your blog’s page speed so you will know where and when problems arise. You can do this with free tools like the one at Pingdom: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ or by using Google’s Page Speed Insights: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
These two tools help identify any processes that are running slowly on the blog. All you have to do is type in your blog URL and they will provide you with a full report of what is working and what is not.
Keep in mind that a blogs load speed can only be as fast as the web server (hosting) you’re using. Most hosting companies post this information on their websites however if you aren’t sure of the speed capabilities the contact the host’s support team and ask what the server speed is. Know this information will help you make sure that your blog has adequate bandwidth that can handle the peak traffic times.
Take time to optimize your images. You should always resize the images to the size you want in your published page or blog post before uploading them to the blog. This is because large images are normally a resource drain and can take up valuable space in the hosting account and will slow down the blog load speed. Make sure that the images you will see on the blog have been saved in PNG or JPEG format.
Delete unnecessary CSS, java script and HTML Code. Too much code can drag down load speeds so if it isn’t needed get rid of it. If you aren’t sure how to do this contact your web designer or hire someone who understands coding.
Warning: Don’t delete anything without having a backup copy of your blog.
Lastly, make sure that the blogging application you are using is up to date. This includes the plugins and theme too. Running on an out of date platform can cause conflicts, slow down load times and it can leave your blog open to hackers who want to wreak havoc on your business.
5. Easy Blogging Tips
Conversion rate optimization is a systematic and structured way of refining the performance of your blog. It’s based on the percentage of people who perform certain actions like clicking a link, subscribing or making a purchase. Understanding what visitors do when they are on your blog makes it possible to improve its performance and its conversions, which ultimately leads to more profits.
One of the best ways to increase conversions is to create urgency. Why should the visitor purchase your product now? Customers can be encouraged to complete a purchase through perception of rarity. For example, having promotional discounts and free gifts with purchases from your site. When your create urgency in the minds of the customers, their emotional reactions will override their sensible buying behavior.
Having a clear value proposition is also very important. Your value proposition gives a summary of all the benefits and costs of buying your product. If the consumer realizes that the benefits outweigh the costs then they will get motivated to become a customer. To improve your conversion rate, you should emphasize the most magnificent parts of your value proposition. Convince the visitors why you are better than your competitors.
Set up and easy to follow sales funnel for your visitors. A good funnel involves all the steps they need to take to complete the process. This includes their first visit, consuming content, checking out your product, adding product to the basket, beginning checkout and finally finishing checkout. In order to increase the number of visitors who go through the funnel, make the selling process has to be easy.
set up optimized landing pages. A landing page is any web page that a visitor finds after clicking a link to your blog. Don’t assume that all of your visitors hit your home page and sift through all of your posts looking for what they want. Most of the time they come in through subpages or landing pages.
By having specific pages set up for the different products you offer you will see higher conversions and if you incorporate specific keywords it will also help improve your search engine rankings.
Lastly, make sure your visuals are effective. A picture is worth a thousand words, ant the right images can solidify why customers need to buy your products. For instance, if you sell armchairs use images that will help your visitors envision how your products will look like in their homes.
