3 Steps To Becoming An Affiliate Marketing Superstar
By Jon Allo
An affiliate marketer is somebody who sells and promotes other peoples'
products and services on the internet and is paid a commission by the product
owner when they make a sale. When you start affiliate marketing, you're not
going to be making a six figures income in the first few months. But you can
develop into an affiliate marketing superstar as you learn the skills and
strategies required to succeed.
1. Concentrate On A Specific Niche Market
You don't have to be an expert in your chosen niche, you just have to
know a little bit more than somebody who is totally new to it. If the niche is
something you're interested in, you most likely already know something about it
anyway. The more defined your niche, the more easier it will be to reach your
target audience. For example, there is the fitness niche, which could segment
into running, which could segment even more into long distance running, which
could go even more precise to long distance running for women.
2. Locate High Quality Products To Promote
The more you know about your niche, the simpler it is to select the
right products to promote. An effective affiliate marketer will know which
products will solve a problem for their customers or make their customer's
lives easier. That's why their customers will buy them. If you're promoting physical
products, you can gauge high demand items on the Amazon or eBay best sellers
list. If you're promoting digital products, check out cbtrends.com to see
product performance from the ClickBank Marketplace. You can also check to see
if your favorite companies have an affiliate program that you can join.
3. Provide Quality Content To Your Customers
The content on your website can make all the difference to being average
at affiliate marketing and being an affiliate marketing superstar. Content cam
be in many forms, such as articles, reviews, videos, reports, eBooks, podcasts
and blog Posts. Quality content helps to establish you as an authority in your
market. Affiliate marketing is more about 'telling' rather than 'selling'. Your
primary value to any prospect or potential customer is to provide information.
It's how they'll learn to trust your opinion it's what will motivate them to
click on your affiliate links and your affiliate advertising banners to make a
purchase.
One final word about becoming an affiliate marketing superstar. Always
make the effort to deliver the best for your website visitors. The best
content, the best quality products and the best information. When they trust
you, like you and value your information, they'll click on your links and make
purchases.
Regardless of your age, education or technical skills there are no
specific requirements for being successful with affiliate marketing. However
you will be more successful with a solid business model to work from, clear
direction, training and support.

Absolute Beginner's Guide to Affiliate Marketing
By Robert Deveau
Affiliate marketing will take far more than a single article to learn to
do well. While I can't hope to cover the full range of questions one might have
in that area, I hope to provide you with a strong base upon which to begin.
1. What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a source of online income that allows you to earn
money from selling other people's products or services in exchange for a
commission. For example, you could visit the Amazon website and sign up for
their "affiliate program". If accepted, they would then send you a
personalized code. You would send prospects to the amazon site using your
affiliate code. That way, they know that the prospect came from you and they
could send any commissions to you.
2. How much are affiliate commissions?
Commissions vary depending on the type of product sold and can literally
cover the full range between 1% to 100%. Typically, a physical product such as
something you would find on Amazon would be between 5% to 10%. Information
products, such as those found on ClickBank will more likely be between 50% to
75%.
Some hosts of information products allow a full 100% commission. It is
worth noting however, that these 100% affiliate products are known as lead
generators. The product vendor will give you 100% of the purchase price but he
or she intends to continue to sell to that prospect on the "back-end"
3. How can I get started in Affiliate Marketing?
First, you need to select a "niche". This is the area that you
will be working in, for example, dog training. It is useful, though not
necessary, for you to already know your topic. You can always research what you
don't already know. What is most important is that there are eager buyers for
the product you are selling.
4. How do I know if people are going to buy?
The sad truth is that, you don't know. In my personal business, I've always
used one simple mantra that has worked well for me: Ease People's Pain.
People in pain, whether physical or emotional or otherwise, are very
motivated to get themselves out of pain. For example, the migraine niche. It is
very easy to find a product that eases migraine pain in the ClickBank
marketplace and grab your affiliate link.
Then you simply find people with migraines and put your link in front of
them. There is a lot of information on how to find people with the pain or
niche that you have chosen to work in.
Good luck and I sincerely hope that this basic guide was useful.

What Are the Best Ways to Drive Traffic to a ClickBank Offer?
By Gary L Gross
There are many ways that you can drive Traffic to a ClickBank Offer.
Today we are going to go over a few of these ways to give you some ideas that
may work for you.
Before you begin driving traffic to your offer, you may want to set up a
landing page to send the traffic to. There are 2 main reasons for this:
1) Some forms of advertising that you may use will not allow you to send
traffic directly to a Sales Page. A lot of the most productive forms of
advertising now frown upon that. So, by setting up a landing page, you can get
by these rules.
2) By having a Landing Page to send your traffic to, you can get the
Optin before passing them off to the Offer. Find yourself a free report in your
Niche that you can use to giveaway. There are many places where you can find a
Giveaway Report or PLR in your Niche that you can get for free. Then simply set
up a squeeze page & have your autoresponder direct them to the Sales Page
after the sign-up. I also place a link at the bottom of my squeeze page that
says something like "Click Here to Pass on this Free Report". That link
I then have take them directly to the sales page. Why do this? Because if they
don't sign up for your free report, then you have lost them from getting to the
Sales Page. By having the link, you can still get them there!
OK, now let's take a look at some of the ideas on getting traffic to the
offer &/or Landing Page.
1) Google AdWords
Most people have heard of Google AdWords if you have been in Marketing
for any amount of time. This is a good way to drive traffic to an offer/landing
page. But, depending on your keywords, it can get a little pricey. The more
competitive your keyword is, the more you are going to have to spend. You will
pay a lot less if you are using keywords that aren't highly competitive.
2) Bing/Yahoo Ads
Basically the same as AdWords & follows the same format.
3) Twitter Sponsored Ads
Once again, a little like AdWords. But with Twitter, you pay for a
Sponsored Ad, pick the demographics you want your ads to reach, & they show
up on people's timeline for your desired demographic group.
4) Facebook Ads
Same as Twitter, but they also show up in people's sidebar. These ads
can also get a little pricey. But you can also get a lot of good clicks for
cheap if you target low competition areas.
5) YouTube
A lot of people shy away from this method because they feel that they
must go on Camera to get on YouTube. That is so far from the truth! It is very
easy to put together a 60 - 90 sec. video using PowerPoint/Open Office, target
a keyword, add some music, & then publish to YouTube. You then place a link
to your Sales Page/Landing Page in the description & you are good to go. I
will cover more on this in a future Article.
6) BackPage.com
A lot of people overlook BackPage.com because when they think of it,
they think Adult Ads. BUT, BackPage has a Business Opportunities Section where
you can post a link to your Sales Page/Landing Page.
7) Craigslist
It has gotten a lot harder for marketers that try to use Craigslist to
promote their products over the past few years. But there are work arounds for
this & there are many good products that can help you navigate Craigslist
& make it profitable.
8) Free Classifieds
There are a lot of Free Classified sites that you can post links on.
Don't overlook these when it comes to your Marketing efforts.
And lastly,
9) Social Media
It is easy to promote your products & landing pages using Social
Media. Set up as many Social Media Accounts as you can. Work on getting a
following. Set up a Facebook Fan Page for EVERY Niche that you are in. Set up a
Business Profile page on FB to keep your Business Contacts separate from your
personal ones. The power of Social Media is amazing & can help you get
ahead!
I hope that this has helped you in some way, & I will be following
up with Articles to cover some of these Ideas in more depth.
Till Next Time!

Finding The Perfect Product At ClickBank
By Rob Hillman
Thousands of buyers flock over ClickBank, the largest affiliate store
online. The site has a lot of reviews and articles written about them. For the most
part, these articles are about how to get in, how to find profit, how to earn
high sales and all those technicalities.
Only a few articles are written about the buyer's point of view. So many
vendees are also asking on how they can purchase the perfect product they want
to acquire. There are so many similar products in the marketplace and buyers
can't just figure out what to choose. This article will help you determine
that.
I am an avid buyer of the site and I also have the dilemma of getting
confused on what to purchase out of the line of the well promoted products in
the marketplace. I always get this feeling of hesitation on whether to press
the "buy now" button or not. As a buyer, naturally you do not want to
get your money wasted. You always want to make your purchases worthwhile.
Since I am an avid ClickBank buyer, I have learned how to get worthy and
cost-efficient products. The site actually sells good quality products but you
just really get confused on what the best buy would be. So here are the steps
so you can have a "two-thumbs up" purchase.
1.) Search your Product. Go to the marketplace. Take a look at
the newest product and search for its feature. The list that will appear on
your search is categorized by popularity so the number one product on your list
is the most sold product. Scan around so you can get a backgrounder of the
product.
2.) Feedback. Of course, you do not just choose directly after
reviewing the list of products in the marketplace. Read reviews. Surely, there
are a lot of articles written about the product. For you to find reviews, go to
your search engine and type on famous keywords regarding your prospect product.
Read more than five reviews. In this way, you will be able to see through
different opinions from other buyers who have purchased ahead of you.
3.) Reality. Testimonials are very common in this business. Users
always have something to say. It's either they appreciate or bash. So read
through testimonials. Be careful in some of the testimonials, some are not real.
Take note, true and factual testimonials include the authors email address or
website. If you want to make sure that the testimonial is real, you can try to
email the author and see if you get any response.
4.) Freebies. Most of the products provide bonuses or freebies.
Sometimes the freebies really make the buy worth. You can find the available
freebies at the bottom of the sales page. Scan through the sales page of the
product and see what free goodies you can get.
5.) Refund. ClickBank offers refund to products which enable you
to get a full refund within 8 weeks. When the 8 weeks are over, you cannot get
your money back anymore. Some other merchants provide a more than 8 weeks
refund for customer satisfaction.
Your purchase at ClickBank will surely be worth if you follow these
tips. Of course we want our money to be spent well so it is normal to hesitate.
Digital products at ClickBank are all quality. So you do not have to worry but
if you want the best among all the products then try the five steps given
above.

Shopping At Its Best: The ClickBank Marketplace
By Rob Hillman
The ClickBank marketplace offers various digital products. These items
are promoted by thousands of buyers daily. By far, the site is one of the most
visited online affiliate sites on the World Wide Web.
However, visitors to the site have their own tales to tell every time
they visit the ClickBank marketplace. "My daughter is an e-book addict.
She buys books almost every day. She can sometimes get confused on what
products to purchase. Is there a remedy for this?" - Elena
Purchasing a product may be confusing at times especially because we do
not want to waste our money and we always want to get value for money. We
sometimes worry that we might choose the wrong product and find out that there
is a better product similar to what we have already purchased. Many online buyers
can relate to this.
Buying online can really be confusing at times especially because the
products are just visually displayed for us, we do not get to touch and feel
them. This is some cause for hesitation. So how can we find the perfect product
suiting to our needs and will satisfy our desires? Read on and find out below.
Decide on a Product
When you have reached the marketplace, you find yourself looking at over
10,000 digital products. You have to know what you want and what you need. The
products are categorized by feature and popularity so your shopping will be
more organized straight away. Read some reviews on several other websites or
review sites so you will get an impression of your product.
Reviews of Products
Usually, when you are looking at an item, one of the first things we may
do is to criticize it, and look for the downside to it. Of course, you want to
be sure about the quality also. Reading reviews will give you more information
on the value and worth of the product you are aiming to buy.
To see more reviews for products sold online, go to any search engine
and type in the product and keywords. Then you will see several reviews. Read
more than one review so you will get a better glimpse and overview.
Real Tales of the Product
There are real tales of the product you have chosen via testimonials.
Fellow buyers who have purchased before you will always have something to say
about the product so read their reviews. This is one way to know more about
your product and assure that it is worthy and of good quality.
Previous Buyers will never lie. Their stories and testimonies are
normally very reliable.
The delight of Freebies
One of the bonuses when buying products online is freebies. Often, this
makes your buys and shopping more worthwhile. We always find delight and
excitement with these freebies. The feeling of thrill and enjoyment - the
freebies are usually found at the bottom of the page.
The Refund Rule
To provide satisfaction to customers and for a better service, refunds
are served. Usually, an 8 week refund service is provided. If you are fortunate
enough, some merchants give more than 8 weeks as a refund period.
If you really want to make sure of the products you are purchasing,
there are so many reliable sources online. Just take time to search and read
them.
The ClickBank marketplace is home to some of the best digital products.
However, it is normal that you will want to make your shopping worthwhile so
you must choose well. Purchase your favorite product now and visit the
ClickBank marketplace.
