HOW TO FIND A GREAT SYSTEM THAT WORKSFOR YOU Affiliate marketing has become one of the top business opportunities online because the startup costs are so low and the income you generate can be mind-blowing. Affiliate marketing involves having your own site and sending your traffic to someone else's site to buy their products or services.

There are many inexpensive website services such as Hostgator and GoDaddy. It's also easy to set up a blog through services such as Wordpress. I also use GoDaddy for domains and Bluehost for hosting.

Decide your product/service niche Affiliate marketers help companies and entrepreneurs sell everything from jewelry and cell phones to website service, how-to e-books and even courses to become an online entrepreneur step by step without any experience. Choose an area you're familiar with or one you're enthusiastic about learning. You'll be more likely to do the work and less likely to get bored before the money starts rolling in. In my case when I started in 2013 I didn’t know anything about network marketing, online marketing and affiliate marketing but my desire and vision for a new life made me search for a different way and I found this proven system (verified-system.com) that taught me step by step how to do it, I just followed every step and it lead me to the right way to become a pro in online marketing.

Believe me that’s a different game and go straight to the top but as I said if you are a newbie everything will be step by step 4. Ways to attract lots of targeted traffic to succeed Most people visiting your website or blog won't click your affiliate links. That's why it's crucial to employ a mix of marketing tactics to increase traffic--highly targeted traffic--to your site. There are four main ways to get more site exposure and attract more potential customers: Paid Advertising This is most effective when your ad copy headline, call-to-action message and graphics come together just right to compel people to click through and buy. Free Advertising Sites like Craigslist and US Free Ads are but two of many popular places that accept links and banner ads for free. These tend to be affiliate marketing sites themselves, earning the owner money whenever you click their ads. Article Marketing This popular marketing method offers several benefits. You're building credibility as a reliable source in your niche, gaining a higher search engine ranking by increasing the number of links leading to your site, and pulling traffic to your site. Work in an organic manner and don't spam using software engines. E-mail Marketing Every visitor to your site is valuable, so capturing their names and email addresses to stay in touch is important.

CHAPTER 2 Step 2: Write copy that sells There's a proven sales copy formula that takes visitors through the selling process from the moment they arrive to the moment they make a purchase: 1. Arouse interest with a compelling headline. 2. Describe the problem your product solves. 3. Establish your credibility as a solver of this problem. 4. Add testimonials from people who have used your product. 5. Talk about the product and how it benefits the user. 6. Make an offer. Throughout your copy, you need to focus on how your product or service is uniquely able solve people's problems or make their lives better. Think like a customer and ask "What's in it for me?" For example if you are a newbie and you are using a proven system, you don’t have to CANGOLEADERSHIP worry about testimonials. You can use the ones that have the system from people who is 9 already success using it until the moment that you start to getting results so you can use your own. If you have your own product, you can share with friends and partners as a pre-release product so they can give you a feedback and you can use as testimonials. THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO AFFILIATE MARKETING Step 3: Design and build your blog Once you've got your market and product, and you've nailed down your selling process, now you're ready for your small-business web design. Remember to keep it simple. You have fewer than five seconds to grab someone's attention--otherwise they're gone, never to be seen again. Some important tips to keep in mind: Choose one or two plain fonts on a white background. Make your navigation clear and simple and the same on every page. Only use graphics, audio or video if they enhance your message. Include an opt-in offer so you can collect e-mail addresses. Make it easy to buy--no more than two clicks between potential customer and checkout. Your blog is your online storefront, so make it customer-friendly. If you don’t have a blog yet, get one here (blogandsucceed.com). Step 4: Use search engines to drive targeted buyers to your site Pay-per-click advertising is the easiest way to get traffic to a brand-new site.

If you need more Information about this strategy contact me at MakeBuckBlogging.com Step 5: Establish an expert reputation for yourself People use the internet to find information. Provide that information for free to other sites, and you'll see more traffic and better search engine rankings. The secret is to always include a link to your site with each tidbit of information. Give away free, expert content. Create articles, videos or any other content that people will find useful. Distribute that content through online article directories or social media sites. Include "send to a friend" links on valuable content on your website. Become an active expert in industry forums and social networking sites where your target market hangs out. You'll reach new readers. But even better, every site that posts your content will link back to yours. Search engines love links from relevant sites and will reward you in the CANGOLEADERSHIP rankings. 11 THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO AFFILIATE MARKETING ~IT'S NOT HARD TO MAKE DECISIONS WHEN YO KNOW WHAT YOUR VALUES ARE. Step 6: Use the power of e-mail marketing to turn visitors into buyers. When you build an opt-in list, you're creating one of the most valuable assets of your online business. Your customers and subscribers have given you permission to send them e-mail. That means: You're giving them something they've asked for. You're developing lifetime relationships with them. The response is 100 percent measurable. E-mail marketing is cheaper and more effective than print, TV or radio because it's highly targeted. Anyone who visits your site and opts in to your list is a very hot lead. And there's no CANGOLEADERSHIP better tool than e-mail for following up with those leads. 12 THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO AFFILIATE MARKETING Step 7: Increase your income through back-end sales and upselling One of the most important internet marketing strategies is to develop every customer's lifetime value. At least 36 percent of people who have purchased from you once will buy from you again if you follow up with them. Closing that first sale is by far the most difficult part--not to mention the most expensive. So use back-end selling and upselling to get them to buy again: Offer products that complement their original purchase. Offer related products on your "Thank You" page after they purchase. Reward your customers for their loyalty and they'll become even more loyal. The internet changes so fast that one year online equals about five years in the real world. But the principles of how to start and grow a successful online business haven't changed at all. If you're just starting a small business online, stick to this sequence. If you've been online awhile, do a quick review and see if there's a step you're neglecting, or never got around to doing in the first place. You can't go wrong with the basics. -I'VE LEARNED THAT THE EASIEST WAY FOR ME TO GROW CANGOLEADERSHIP AS A PERSON IS TO MAKE SURE THAT I SURROUND 13 MYSELF WITH PEOPLE SMARTER THAN I AM.
