Pre-Selling Rather than Copywriting for Affiliate Marketing
Posted by: | CommentsPre-selling is an important skill to have in affiliate marketing. It enables you to not need to learn how to do serious copywriting or hire someone else to do it for you. With this little spin on your affiliate page, you can bet that you’ll have an advantage over the other poor souls who are trying to learn copywriting.
Usually, the Sales Copy is already Done
Chances are that the copywriting is already written for your product. If you’re promoting physical consumer products like clothing, video games, or whatever, the copy is a short but sweet catalog list. With information products, especially electronic media, webinars and the like, the copy could be a long document that the vendor paid a copywriter several thousand dollars to write.
Either way, it’s important for you to realize that this stuff was written by someone who went through extensive and expensive training to write. It takes literally hundreds of hours of practice, study, and experimentation to master, let alone the thousands of dollars they probably spent in classes, training materials, mentorships, and seminars.
In other words, the ultimate clinch is out of your hands and in the hands of people who know in intimate detail how to do it. Your job as an affiliate marketer is to make them see that page.

Getting Traffic to Your Website From Beyond the Internet
Posted by: | CommentsOne place you may not be looking at for getting traffic to your website is outside the Internet. While it’s true that information travels faster on the World Wide Web and that you can reach far away places, the value of promoting your website “in the real world” shouldn’t be underestimated. There are many opportunities for this, and you don’t have to rely on search engines.
Put Your Web Address on Business Cards
Business cards are a great place to start “real world advertising” for your web address. They’re inexpensive, and you can take them with you wherever you go. You can often leave them on store displays and counters.
Let’s say that you’re going to a marketing convention. You will naturally want to have business cards there to get your name out among your peers. It only makes sense to have your web address included. Your phone number may be optional, but you’re missing a great chance if you don’t include your web address.
Advertise Your Web Site in the Newspaper
Many people still use the newspaper, and it’s still a valuable advertising medium for your website. There’s a good chance that you’ll have to start small if your business is new. Start with Read More→
Getting Traffic to Your Website with Press Releases
Posted by: | CommentsPress releases are a great way of getting traffic to your website quickly. You’ll get fairly immediate traffic, but the full benefit comes after a few days, so don’t panic if you don’t have an explosion of traffic from day one. There are some essential bits of information you need to know about how to do it; otherwise, this strategy is sunk.
How to Write Press Releases for Submission
The first thing you need to know about how to write press releases is that you’re not writing articles. If you write an article and submit it to a press release site, chances are you’ll get turned down. You have to have the mindset of a reporter when you write these things.
Think of it this way: Your next product launch or event is always newsworthy. Then write it as if you’re writing for a newspaper, which you are essentially doing. You don’t have a “title.” Instead, you have a “headline.” Include the city and state at the front of the PR, if applicable. You can even get a bit “salesy” with your press release since you’re trying to generate excitement.
How You Drive Traffic With Your PRs
Depending on the specifics of the PR site, you have a particular number of links that you can put in your PR to drive traffic to your site. On the average, you’re looking at about 3 to 5 hyperlinks total. You can usually have one of them as a URL link, but Read More→
Getting Traffic to Your Website for Revenue Sharing
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the all time problems that Internet marketers have is getting traffic to their websites. Getting traffic to your website is important, but you can’t just have “any” traffic unless you’re doing revenue sharing. The great thing about revenue sharing is that you can make money, even off of the window shoppers. The downside is that you don’t make “as much” per click. With that in mind, maximum traffic is the goal, and not so much emphasis is on targeted traffic.
Maximizing Traffic — the Beginning Stages
If your plan for maximizing traffic lies in your search engine page ranking, you’re selling yourself short. Page ranking works, but the wheels of Google often turn way too slowly to have a good start. From the get-go your page should be optimized, but don’t hold your breath for that page one ranking to begin with or even getting indexed.
If you’re ambitious, you should be maximizing your traffic no more than a second after you get your page published. Write about it in your blog, tweet all your followers, and update your Facebook. If you have a mailing list already, tell them. Spread the word far and wide since the traffic you’re already getting and the backlinks you’ve made will reflect on your page ranking.
Getting New Traffic to Your Site
Of course, it’s great that traffic from your already existing sources is going to your website. Of course, who doesn’t want more traffic? There are several ways of getting new traffic to your website. Creating a new group and Read More→
