Can You Make More Money Giving Away Stuff?

Fletch — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:21:05 +0000

As an affiliate maketer are you actually making the bucks that you want?

Does it seem harder to succeed every day?

Are you at the point where you want to throw in the towel?

If you answered yes to any of those questions then you have been an affiliate marketer for some time.

If you answered no to all of the questions, I am guessing you are still in the first flush.

It happens to everyone who tries to make money online. The excitement of the first sale, the promise of riches to come all give you a contented buzz but after a few months when nothing is happening the glow soon wears off.

I have been there, I was going to make a killing on Ebay, I was going to be RICH!

Didn’t happen.

I found, like most online marketers that the dreams of easy money were just that, dreams, and that to really make cash online you did have to work at it.

The upside of course is that you make your own hours, you don’t have a jerk telling you what to do and you can make lots of money.

An obvious but mostly overlooked method of making money online is to stop selling and go about it a different way.

Give stuff away! No selling, no pressure and a hell of a lot easier. You are not asking someone to pull out their wallet, you are just saying, “Here it is, take it.”

The secret is what happens next…..

Mobile Marketing: Are You Missing The Wave AGAIN?

Are You Missing The Next Big Thing, Again?

“In every business on the planet there are waves of massive opportunity followed by troughs of hard slog, the people who make money are the ones that recognise when that wave is coming and start paddling!”

If you are into making money online, affiliate marketing or any type of internet enterprise you will know that it is NOT as easy as, push a button and get rich. If you haven’t realised this yet you are still a newbie. Sorry if that offends but it is true and you will still be falling for the same over hyped sales pages for a while yet.

There have been a few times that I can remember when it was almost as simple as throwing up a page and some affiliate links and you would make money. Two particular times that come to mind were:

The introduction of Adsense and specifically for us, Adwords. The now ubiquitous advertisements were once a goldmine but as is the way of internet business the days of cheap clicks and easy online money have been swallowed up by the subsequent rules and guidelines introduced by Google. I am not saying Adsense is a loser across the board but it is definitely harder to make money with it.

The second gold rush came with scripts such as BANS, you could publish a page full of Ebay listings and virtually zero content and the cash would be rolling. Not anymore! The Google slap came down hard and guys that were riding the gravy train were suddenly left with no income. I know, I was one of those guys.

So, What’s Next?

Mobile Monopoly

The clue is in the title, mobile marketing, or, cell phones! Remember the Adsense boom? Its back and, how! There are reckoned to be 5 billion mobiles in use today and every one of them is an advertising platform for your business. Compare this to only 1.5 billion computers.(Only 1.5 billion. LOL)

Now carry on with that thought, 1.5 billion computers and the average person spends 45 minutes per day at their desktop or laptop. If you are good with figures you can probably work out the numbers here, so then follow it up with 5 billion mobile phones that people carry with them 24/7. Stunning isn’t it.

If you are not getting seriously involved with mobile marketing you are missing the biggest wave in internet market and online sales that has occured for years!Adam Horwitz has come out with a video series called Mobile Monopoly which explains exactly how you can jump on this wave and take maximum advantage of the cash making oppurtunities it affords.

You will be surprised, no, amazed at the scale of this thing. Remember, it will not last forever and you have to make hay while the sun shines. Do not be the guy that sits back in a couple of years and thinks, ” I wish I had gotten into mobile marketing two years ago!”

It Is Here, It Is Now, Don’t Miss The Wave Again!

Use Mobile Phones To Build A List

Fletch — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:03:42 +0000

If you have been around the internet money scene for any length of time you will have heard the expression, “The money is in the list.”

Why do you keep reading this oft repeated motto? Basically because it is true. Now you can leverage the incredible market that is available on mobile phones using Admob

I am going to come clean here and admit that I really never saw the potential of building a list but after having spent the last couple of months investigating it I have really changed my tune.

You need to think of a list as a little goldmine, everyone on it is a little nugget of gold and with a well run list you will always have a group of buyers to hand.

Now, your list is precious and f you nurture it with good information and real advice the folks on your list will come to trust you and your advice. Imagine if your best friend comes round and says, “Hey, I’ve found a great program to improve my golf you should try it!”

Isn’t it quite likely that you would try it. OK so you may not buy it but you would check it out.

Now imagine if a used car dealer knocked on your door, even if he said the exact same words as your friend what are the chances that you would bother.

You need to be a best friend to your list and they will listen. So next time you send them an email saying “Check this out,” they will probably do it.

Ok, so you don’t have a list, easy, build one. Yeah I know, it’s not quite as easy as that but then again it is if you are willing to invest a little cash up front.

Here is a fool proof way to build your own little goldmine in literally days.

This method will cost you around $75 but think of it as an investment in your future.Your list will last for ever, well almost!

You will need to set up a simple squeeze page in a mobile format, this is not too difficult and there is lots of information about it on the web, just Google ‘mobile web pages.’

You will need this squeeze page to take advantage of the massive consumer base out there with mobile phones, cell phones as the Americans say.

Consider this, 1.5 billion people have internet access on their computer but nearly 5 billion people access the web on their phone. Read that again, 5 billion!

Ok, you have your mobile web page so all you need on it is a sign up form. You can get this from Aweber, (free trial for a dollar). This is where you will build your list, or lists.

I suggest starting with just one for the time being and making it targeted. By that I mean go for a niche like golf, weight loss, fitness etc.

Don’t worry about the market being saturated, this is not SEO, this is list building.

OK, so now you head on over to Admob. This is a Google site that sells advertising on mobile phones and this is where you will be getting your customers.

I won’t go into all the details about setting up an account because it is really easy and once you have set it up there are some great training videos on how to set up campaigns.

All you have to do is run a campaign with a simple text advert which will send the user to your squeeze page. Offer a free report in exchange for their email and bang! you have a prospect for ever.

Set up an ad which says something like:

Grab Your Free Fitness Guide Now!

Make the destination URL your squeeze page and Aweber does the rest.

Each ad. will cost you around $0.03 a click yes thats 3 cents per click and the take up rate is massive.

I am going to expand on this subject over the next few posts because it is so exciting and even better it is simple and it works.

If you think this system will work for you, I know it will, and you want a method that can take a lot of the stress out of it head on over to MobileMonopoly.com and check out their offer.

In the meantime here are some free reports that you can use as bait.

Keep at it till the magic works!

Learn CSS You Will Be Glad You Did!

Fletch — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 09:23:21 +0000

When you are learning how to make money online there is a huge hill to climb and that is why so many people fail. The failure is not because they are stupid or because they do not have the magic, it is usually because there are so many things to learn they give up because the task seems too big.

Read CSS: The Missing Manual

Any job, no matter what its’ size can be broken down into much smaller chunks and this helps because a) each job becomes more manageable and b) it is possible to see all the little successes along the way.

Producing good quality and unique websites will require learning some CSS. It is CSS that makes any page look the way it does and by making the effort to learn CSS you will be able to start making your web pages look a little different to all the other ones out there.

The good news? It’s not hard. I would like to recommend a book to you that I have found to be extremely helpful and it’s written in a way that does not assume you are a computer programmer before you start.

Heres a quick description:

Web site design has grown up. Unlike the old days, when designers cobbled together chunky HTML, bandwidth-hogging graphics, and a prayer to make their sites look good, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) now lets your inner designer come out and play. But, CSS isn’t just a tool to pretty up your site; it’s a reliable method for handling all kinds of presentation – from fonts and colors to page layout. “CSS: The Missing Manual” clearly explains this powerful design language and how you can use it to build sparklingly new Web sites or refurbish old sites that are ready for an upgrade …Read More

I think that this book will help anybody increase their knowledge of one of the basic skills required to make money online.

Free Content And Bonus

Fletch — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 08:31:22 +0000

Free content posted automatically to your blog. If you struggle to keep coming up with content, articles or posts to your wordpres blog there is a new autoposter on the block.

SeoLinkVine is a new auto posting network which gives you the opportunity to have loads of posts sent to your blog on autopilot. You can sign up for free and for the next week or so you will get $1 sent to your paypal account for each blog that you submit. So, it’s free and you get a $1 bonus.

Will it work? I don’t know and I would certainly not use it for my top blogs but I have several blogs that do not really fill me with enthusiasm and so I have added these just to get a whole bunch of posts for free. The blogs are set to send out new posts through Feedburner and they also tweet through Twitterfeed and so it should pull in some visitors through these and the RSS dirctories.

You can set up the posts so that you can have between 1 and 5 sent each day and you can auto approve or do it manually although that does seem to defeat the purpose and you can also automatically reject articles that are not at leeast 30% unique.

You can also get an affiliate link and for everyone that signs up through you you can get an extra dollar so check out Seolinkvine and lets all get a free $.

Comparipress Plug In

Fletch — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:22:32 +0000

For everyone who wants a quick and simple way to include a variety of affiliate products in a comparison table on the wordpress site, the new Comparipress plugin is now available.

Ben Johnsons new wordpress plugin promises to be a best seller. With a one time payment you get to create customisable comparison display units on as many wordpress sites as you want.

I found the units simple to create once you have gone through all the steps to configure the plugin, could this be easier? Yes, I think the registration and licence procedure could be a little better, (edit: Ben has put some clearer instructions on the blog)

The plugin is similar to Popshops without the monthly fee, and can pull in products from Linkshare, Amazon and Commission Junction at the moment although more are in the pipeline apparently. Even with these three you have millions of products to choose from and so I can’t foresee a problem with that.

My advice? Buy it but do read the PDF file that comes with it, I have a tendency to go on instinct and with this product that was an error on my part. Check it out: Comparipress

Make More Money With Reviewazon

Fletch — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:24:17 +0000

I have been using the wordpress plugin Reviewazon for a few months now and I have to say I am totally impressed with it. Before I got into it I have used several other niche store builders, mostly Build A Niche Store with ebay but I can make more money with Reviewazon.

For anyone who is not familiar with it Reviewazon is a plugin that enables you to pull Amazon products straight into your wordpress site. There a few ways of displaying them and the ability to use custom templates so with a bit of imagination you can achieve a higly professional website with a great range of items for visitors to buy.

There are many examples of straight out of the box Reviewazon sites making money for their owners but in order to make the most of it you need to be going that extra mile.

Reviewazon grabs the products from the Amazon feed and this can include product descriptions, prices, customer reviews and all sorts of other information which is great but it means that you are simply reproducing a mini Amazon. This is the same problem that many BANS sites suffered from and were consequently de-indexed, so to avoid this fate and make more money with Reviewazon you want to tickle your web posts a little bit.

Change The Title
The first thing you can do is change the titles around, the posts that Reviewazon creates will have the same titles as the main site and so this is a must do thing. As well as the titles the descriptions will also be identical so it will pay you to insert some custom text here to step it up a gear.

To make more money with Reviewazon I create bulk product posts which is simple with a couple of clicks of the mouse but I make sure I save them as drafts, there is a check box for this. Then you simply have to go to edit posts in the wordpress dashboard and work through them.

I pick a post and look at the preview, this tells me what I have got and lets me see what Amazon is feeding me. The first thing to check is the title, as I said you will want to change this to make it more unique but also to ensure that it contains terms that are being searched for so I go to Googles free tool and plug in the brand and model number. There will be a low search count but it is not important, all you are looking for is what people are actually searching for when they want to buy this product.Take the best of the results and make that your post title.

Add Some Unique Content
Now I will go to the product page of the brand site and take a look at the information there. The official site will usually have a whole bunch of information that is not included in the Amazon description so I will take this and then re-write it in my own words being careful to get any technical information correct. When writing this information try to get around 2/3 hundred words of unique content and include the keyword phrase about three or four times, this will give you a good jump in the search engines.

If you are using All in One SEO which you should be, fill in all the boxes and then you can either schedule or publish the post. You will now have an optimised page for a long tail keyword which should bring you buying traffic. These simple tips will help you make more money with Reviewazon.

Finding The Golden Keyword

Fletch — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:50:06 +0000

All of us are searching for the golden keyword, you know the one that has thousands of searches with no competition and a high priced affiliate product at the end.

Is this like searching for the golden fleece? Does it actually exist?

Like many affiliate marketers I was brought up on the dream of the golden keyword.Once upon a time it was easy to find the odd nugget but it is getting a little trickier now.

I see many affiliate marketers falling into the trap of spending so much time looking for the right keyword, the one that has X number of searches, competition under Y, that they don’t actually do anything but search. And they make no money.

For years we have been told to check keywords out by putting them in quotes and searching on Google to find out how much competition there is, this is OK up to a point but it really doesn’t tell you what you need to know.

The “quote” search only tells you how many pages are indexed with that exact phrase on the page, it is NOT an indication of competition. In any niche certain phrases will come up time and time again and they will be on a web page but that does not mean that the page is actually targeted for that phrase.

Example: Listen to any conversation about golf, how many times will terms such as ‘driver’ or ‘wedge’ come up? Yet the conversation may really be about The Masters, or ‘Golf Bags’ Related but unconnected and therefore not competition, the same applies to keywords and web pages.

The most reliable way to find the competition you are battling is to use these terms:

inurl:”keyword” Will return pages with the exact phrase in their url.

inanchor:”keyword” Will return pages with backlinks containing the exact phrase.

intitle:”keyword” Will return pages with the exact keyword in the page title.

If a web page has these features then it is a fair bet that it has been optimised for that phrase. This does indicate proper competition.

If, after checking the keyword for these factors you find that there is a lot of competing pages does that mean the keyword is no good? Not necessarily, you then need to check how strong these pages are by examining the Page Rank, the age, the number of backlinks etc.

Using a tool like SEO for Firefox this is a fairly simple procedure although a little time consuming. You can find keywords with seemingly thousands of competing web pages but on investigation the top ten results might have no pages with any PR or backlinks, these will be easy to beat.

On the other hand another keyword may have only a handful of competing pages but they are all PR5/6 with thousands of backlinks, you will spend years trying to get above those and possibly never will.

Keyword research is something you love or hate but it is a fact that you will not make money online without it.

Is there a golden keyword? Of course but you may waste months or even years looking for it, lower your sights and take action, find keywords you can target using the method above and then commit.

If you have the budget there is a tool that will do all this for you and more, it’s called MicroNicheFinder, it’s the one I use every day and I couldn’t live without it. See for yourself here

Backlinks For Newbies

Fletch — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:59:31 +0000

On one of the forums that I use a new member posed a simple question.

How do I build backlinks?

There ensued a flurry of answers and opinions on the best way of building backlinks, do this, do that, don’t do the other!
Everyone and his dog had an opinion of what software to use, whether it was better to comment on blogs or write articles for the directories.

It gradually became clear that the newbie had in fact asked the wrong question. The question he should have asked was:

How do I construct a backlink?

We sometimes forget that the things that are so easy to most of us are still a mystery to be unravelled by the new comers to the scene of affiliate marketing.

So, for anyone too shy to put their hand up and ask here is the method of constructing a backlink. A backlink is actually ‘Anchor Text’ Anchor text is the actual words that when clicked take you to a certain web page or another site, the most common one is Click Here If you right click and choose view source you can actually see how this link is made.

The backlink is made up of HTML tags like and between the tags is the value for where the link will head for and the actual text that is clickable.

So you have:

href= Denotes a hyperlink

“website” The destination

>Clickable Text< What it says

Closes the tag.

This is a full example of a backlink:

As you can see any text can be inserted between the >< tags and this should be the keyword anchor that you need for your site. I hope this makes it easier for you to get your backlinks constructed correctly.
