Lots and lots of people are asking how they can succeed with PPV (Pay per View) advertising and more and more people are telling horrible stories about how they had drained their initial deposit to PPV networks. As with my own experience, you can make money with it but you have to make sure that you have the patience and the time to work with it. I can only hear affiliates ranting about it instead of making it work.
The only thing that can pull down an affiliate is not sticking to a plan no matter what happen. If PPV advertising methods don’t work, how can you explain all those affiliates making money with it? Unless they’re also telling stories that they are making money about it even if they’re not but I know people personally that’s enjoying their fruits of labor. I should know, I’m one of them!
Listen, when it comes to PPV advertising or any other methods of advertising for that matter, you will need patience, time and perseverance. You have to be dedicated on what you need to do, how you should do it and what you need to have it done. In other words, you need to have a solid plan to follow. Your only goal is to follow that plan no matter what happens in the beginning. How will you know if your plan is working if you’re not willing to give it time to prove itself?
Now, I’m going to give you some tips in a series of posts on what I did to make it work for me but you need to be open-minded and ready to be trained before you can even start applying each of them. If you are already in the negative side of things and you felt you can’t push yourself to be a little bit more optimistic, then don’t bother. It’s better to stop looking for ways to find an online income altogether if you have that attitude because I guarantee that you will never make it.
The main problem of engaging in affiliate marketing is driving traffic to get sales. To drive traffic, you could either use free advertising methods or paid advertising methods. As with other post that I’ve written, using free methods is for people who have the time but don’t have the money otherwise you will be using the paid method which is for people who have the money but don’t have the time. Now, if you don’t have both (money and time), then that’s a big problem. Honestly, you should find a way to get either of them if you want to have an online income.
I’m going to discuss in depth the free methods of advertising on another post. Right now, we’ll focus more on PPV advertising.
With PPV advertising, you need to start small. Don’t believe in all tutorials of PPV networks to add huge list of keywords or URLs right from the beginning, this will easily drain your budget too without conversions. I learned this the hard way myself. There is always a learning curve for newbies; you have to track everything possible. Start from a small list of keywords and URLs and slowly add to them after seeing profitable results.
Tracking is always important. As many people don’t track their keywords and URLs, they loose sales simply because they did not track and deactivate bad URLs and keywords. These will not only let you loose sales but it will slowly drain your budget too. You are paying for those links and keywords but when customers view it, they’ll get a bad URL. Waste of money, waste of time and most of all waste of customer’s trust.
That’s just the main point in doing PPV advertising. Look for highly targeted keywords and URLs, bid conservatively and always track, track, track. It will only take you a few minutes to do this in a day.
This is my first article or post about PPV advertising tips and strategies. I’ll be making a series of these so it can help you to check if you’re doing the right thing and applying what needs to be done.
Being a self employed person is the ultimate dream of most people nowadays. To be working at the convenience of their own homes and at their own time, without bosses to yell at them and paperwork cluttering all over the desk. In the competitive world of online business, you don’t only need the guts to make it work.
There are several attitudes that you should have or acquire to be successful in this arena. Some of the attitudes that you have applied while working in a traditional business will still apply to the online business arena but you need more than that.
Here are a few of those primary attitudes that you need to possess so you can be successful in the online business arena:
1.Patience and Trust. Patience is always needed because you won’t be an instant millionaire in just one blink! There is no such thing as that. Online businesses are real and similar to traditional businesses; it requires you to be patient in all aspects of it. You have to have the desire to invest time and effort. Success won’t come overnight. Profit may not appear instantly but it will come knocking at your door.
Trust is another factor to consider when doing online business. Make sure that you have trust on the business that you’re in. If not, you will have a hard time to motivate yourself to be patient and to be positive about everything that you are doing. Research on the business first and ask questions about it before plunging in. This way, you’ll know what the pros and cons are.
2. Self confidence and Discipline. One must be self confident and discipline to motivate him to do what he needs to do even if success is still vague. This means you will need to go ahead, keep on going in spite of obstacles and huge competitions.
3. Willingness to learn and be trained. There is no business in this world that doesn’t need learning. Actually, in our lifetime, learning should not stop. We always have to learn new things along the way. We should be open-minded in all things that are presented to us. If you are willing to be trained, coupled with discipline, your dreams of being successful in online business won’t be hard to achieve. You must be willing to go an extra mile to succeed.
4. Gratitude and Respect. Learn to respect all people in your circle especially those who have helped you with your online business. There are people who ask for help and when they are harvesting the fruits of their labor, will never glance back to those people who have helped along the way. Never burn bridges for you still might need the help of these people in the future.
5. BE HONEST. This is a very important attitude that should be use anywhere, anytime. Remember the golden rule of Confucius to not to do unto others what you don’t want others to do to you. A lot of internet businesses are now mushrooming, most of them are legitimate but there is also a fair share of scams in the online business arena.
Learn to distinguish one from the other and make sure that your business is not part of the latter. Remember that making money in a dishonest way will return back to you ten folds. Although there are people who said that a program is a scam but were unable to really try it and discover the pros and cons of it. Every business has its own advantages and disadvantages. It’s up to you to investigate more and decide for yourself.
Starting an online business is really hard at first, how much more being successful with it? You have to climb up the ladder slowly but surely without hurting others. If you have these attitudes, you are not close to getting the success you desire so much but it can help you get there.
Success does not bear any secret ingredients but these attitudes coupled with hard work and optimism. If you have these, you will succeed in any kind of business, be it traditional business or online business.
My answer is generally, “You don’t!” You have to work for it to make it happen.
But, the truth is, there are a few ways to make money rather quickly and even as soon as today.
Here are just 5 of ways to make money online in no specific order…
1. Sell something on Ebay. It “almost” doesn’t matter what it is. Maybe it’s something old you have lying around the house. Heck as long as you’re honest and say what it is you’re selling, you can make money on there. There are people on Ebay right now selling, of all things, “Broken Cell Phones!” Yes people even buy broken stuff.
2. Blog for money. Blogging has become so popular and important in the eyes of the search engines that you can now get paid to, blah blah, I mean write about things you like, don’t like or stuff you know about. PayPerPost.com is the place to go.
3. Sell your services. With the sheer number of freelancer websites out there, if you have a skill someone needs, SELL IT!
4. Sell other peoples products. It’s called affiliate marketing and it’s a term you’ll hear bandied around the internet quite a bit. But… the fact is, affiliate marketing is growing in the billions of dollars of revenue and income made on the internet. Go to any major “affiliate network” or big ecommerce website like Target.com and you can find an affiliate signup link somewhere on the page. There, you sign up to become a reseller of their products and they give you a percentage of the sale.
You’ve just become their freelance or remote sales force. All you have to do is use online advertising methods such as Pay Per Click using Google Adwords or something similar and you can use it to sell other peoples’ products through your “affiliate link” by placing small “classified like” ads on their pay per click network. A person sees the ad, they click to the website you’re advertising and if they buy, you get paid! Even if you make as little as $50 a day, that’s a nice start and heck, it can pay your bills. Remember you have to invest money in your advertising but would you spend $200 a month to make $1,500? Of course you would!
5. Start your own website. This is probably the most difficult one of these but it really isn’t difficult once you know the steps you need to take in order to accomplish it. I can’t possibly explain them all in detail here but, I can give you a quick list.
* Get a domain name.
* Get a website hosting account.
* Get an Autoresponder. You will need one to collect the names and email addresses of your customers and/or visitors.
* Get an HTML editing software like Microsoft Frontpage or a free one like NVU
* Get FTP software. FTP means File Transfer Protocol and it is the best method to transfer files on to your website hosting account. These are files like webpages and such. Filezilla is a great free choice for the beginner.
* Get a way to process credit cards. You can start our with Paypal and even expand your business using all of their services. It’s free to join, fast and secure for you and your customers.
* Create a digital product, get the resale rights to one or sell a physical product. It really doesn’t matter as long as it’s something there is a need or a want for.
* Put up a page selling your product.
* Advertise and send traffic to your website.
* Collect your Money and follow-up with your customers!
I know that last one was a bit overly simplistic, but like I said, “It’s way too much to get into here.”
Keep in mind that these are just 5 among the dozens of other ways to make money online. Take action and change your life!
Lately I’ve been looking into more simple systems into making money online. The latest one I found, I cannot release until I get permission because it is a “By Invitation” program. (Sorry)
I’m researching more though… just one of the perks of “making it” on line. You get to discover lots of things you normally wouldn’t otherwise. I’ WILL let you know though.
Hey, I learned something else as well that I wouldn’t have otherwise…
“I came to the realization that after all the money I spent online to make it big… you know… all the wasted money I thought I spent… I would have actually spent over 100 and even 1,000 times more for a top level education and I wouldn’t be guaranteed a job OR the kind of income I now make! ”
I think that fact is pretty incredible, don’t you?
Tell me your thoughts in a comment below… I love hearing from you!
As lots of emarketing methods are growing, there is one who poses to be cheaper than traditional means for both the consumer and the marketer. Also easy enough for almost any age group to understand and get involved with is Mobile Marketing.
Mobile Marketing involves communicating with the consumer via cellular (or mobile) device, either to send a simple marketing message, to introduce them to a new audience participation-based campaign or to allow them to visit a mobile website.
Mobile connectivity not only enables people to connect to the Internet via a cellular telephone, PDA or other gadget, but also consolidates the different communication channels in a simple, yet effective, medium. Some of the tools used are Multimedia Messaging Services, Unstructured Supplementary Service Data, Bluetooth, Wireless and Infrared, Mobile Internet and Social Media and other mobile applications.
Mobile marketing enables companies in many sectors such as travel and retail to send promotional messages and vouchers via Bluetooth and SMS for example. It is a direct, targeted approach to connecting with limitless clients. One of the reasons why businesses are experiencing great success with mobile marketing is because it features a fraction of the competition than other media-Internet and email tools are engrossed in a jam-packed and highly competitive environment.
What adds even more potency to this special type of marketing? It’s the only marketing media that reaches prospects and clients while they are on the go! Mobile marketing and text messages allow you to automatically update, announce, invite and communicate when you want and how you want!
Very few businesses are actually taking advantage of mobile marketing right now. That means you can get a gigantic head start by incorporating mobile marketing within your business today. Plus, you can easily integrate mobile marketing and text message marketing within any offline and online marketing campaign. Of course, this type of marketing is substantial enough to form a standalone marketing campaign.
If you’re questioning the type of potential you have with text message and mobile marketing then consider that there are 270 million mobile subscribers in the U.S. alone, and 91 percent of them are said to keep their phones within just a few feet of themselves 24 hours a day throughout the year! In addition, text message marketing has an incredible reach of almost 5 billion compared to Internet marketing’s reach of 1.7 billion.
Mobile Marketing is also considered a method for lucrative lead generation. Every time a prospect or customer opts into one of your text message offers (e.g. to get informational updates, coupons, discounts) that creates a lead. You now have the means to market to that person as much as you’d like. Take this opportunity to up sell, build belief in your business, provide additional value, increase attendance at events and just about anything else you can think of.
Text message marketing is like having hundreds of obliging little marketing assistants hustling around doing all the work for you. All you have to do is press a few buttons and you’ll have instantly reached out to your entire database of leads, customers and prospects-with a 90 percent success rate of being read! Build a herd and market like there’s no tomorrow.
Email Marketing is the use of email in marketing communications. People who are unfamiliar with email marketing often wonder what all the fuss is about. They thought that spam have killed email as a marketing vehicle. And another reason why they think it is outdated is because of the many clever ways that we can communicate online using blogs, Twitter, Facebook and all other social media sites.
Although there are a lot of strategies now for marketing, email marketingstill works because it allows targeting, it is data driven, it drives direct sales, it builds relationships, loyalty and trust and most of all it supports sales through other channels.
Modern email marketing services and solutions support database integration, segmentation and various other tricks and techniques for improving the targeting of outgoing messages. Advanced methods generate on-the-fly emails customized down to an individual recipient basis.
And every email campaign you send out generates a heap of actionable data you can use to refine your approach and messages.
Email promotions and offers generate immediate action: sales, downloads, inquiries, registrations, etc. Informative email newsletters and other emails send people to offline stores and events, prepare the way for catalogs, build awareness, contribute to branding, strengthen relationships, encourage trust and cement loyalty.
Convinced? But don’t get carried away…
Just like trees only bears fruit if managed properly, so is with email marketing. We know it works but you have to get the basics right. The basics of building a list of people who want to hear from you, crafting a message and ensuring the emails get through to those on that list. And when you have the basics right, there’s a whole spectrum of more sophisticated tactics you can employ to drive further success.
Now, several marketers used a lot of forms of advertising and they believe that it is not worth it to use email marketing anymore because of spam. There have been numerous challengers to email marketing’s throne, not the least of which is social media. However, email is still a vibrant, growing medium that has a future for a number of reasons.
Many people are getting very frustrated by how hard it is for them to make decent sales online via email marketing. Are they doing something wrong or has things really become that hard? In reality it is a combination of several things.
First of all the way to make email marketing work has changed for the simple fact that many consumers are getting used to the way many online marketers email. Another thing is that too many marketers are putting their eggs in one basket, thinking that a big list is the key to online profits. Some are even blasting email after email promoting a certain product, while their email list is getting tired of them.
You have to avoid the things that everyone else is doing online in order to make email marketing work for you. Responsible email marketing is based on the idea of permission. This is a complex issue and the subject of intense debate in the marketing community.
Essentially, you need an email address owner’s permission before you can send them a commercial email. If you don’t have this permission, then the recipients of your mail may well regard your message as spam.
Email has been around almost since the advent of the Internet. It’s a staple of the marketing world and one of the most commonly used forms. It’s still effective, both from a cost and conversion standpoint. Marketers should bear in mind that email marketing can co-exist with any marketing channel and it can help leverage social media and vice versa. Consumers are not choosing one medium over the other; they are just utilizing more mediums.
So for me, email marketing is not dying….it’s simply going up and working with any other medium so it doesn’t have its own spotlight anymore though it is still working effectively.
An internet business is no different to a traditional retail business that we can see on the streets, in that it needs customers. A high street shop or retail store needs traffic in order to get people looking in their window so they can entice them in, the main difference online is the volume of traffic that can be achieved. Remember an internet business means that you have the potential to sell to anyone anywhere in the world that is if you choose the correct product or service.
Establishing your own site is not like what it used to be. There is thousands of competition that is all too willing to get a bigger share of the pie. Every scheme and method you can find to augment your sales would be very beneficial.
We have got to admit to ourselves. Most of us are into it for the money. We are not going to waste our time and effort just for the fun of it. Many sites would not wait until hell freezes over just to see their profits. While there are some who takes things lightly there are always those who would rather see profit in any given day.
It is common knowledge that without traffic we have no business. Like any business, if you don’t have customers, you don’t have sales. Traffic represents all the people that get a chance to see what you have to offer. The more people who see your products the more people there would be to buy them. Common sense, right?
Making Money with Traffic
The best and most proven system of increasing revenue from your traffic is to advertise. The internet generates hundreds of thousands of users daily. The vast majority of them are probing for information about something. Although a few are simply searching for basic information, there is also a fair share that is actually eager to buy something, something that they really need.
The internet has proven to be a very reliable source in finding what was deemed to be a very unsearchable product. The internet has made the world a smaller place; you can advertise a product from the depths of the other side of the world and still find a buyer from the opposite side.
Generating traffic is not an easy task. You have to contend with a great number of sites to generate a good number of traffic flows. But if done successfully this could open up a Pandora’s Box of possibilities. One of the benefits is monetizing your traffic flow.
Advertising is the one of the best ways to create revenue; with a clever marketing plan you can use your traffic flow to give you a head start.
Now that you have a healthy flow of traffic you should now be experiencing a fair amount of interested customers, customers that are content to put money into your bank account. Additionally, these customers are also traffic that can be redirected to sponsored links that are eager to pay you for a larger slice of the traffic that you already have generated.
Another system of monetizing your traffic is the well-liked affiliate programs. This is the current favorite for new online entrepreneurs simply because it is the easiest and the most commonly advertised. Try searching in Google about it and it’ll return millions of results! You can join up with established websites and online companies and monetize your traffic by having a proportion of sales generated by traffic redirected from your site.
The principal concept is traffic generated from your website is invited to go to another website that can offer a niche product that you do not own. A number of programs can track activity and produce records of sales or refunds.
If you do not own a website, there is another way of using Affiliate Programs. Just join an affiliated website, the website owner will still provide you with a coded link which you can promote by any other means such as email, pay-per-click, traffic exchange programs and online free classified sites.
There are so many ways and methods to monetize your traffic. All it takes is a bit of hard work and the desire to successfully launch a profit-earning site. Even back-end sales is how most Internet millionaires took their business to another level so now you should learn what you can from the millionaires all about back-end sales. Once you see how this amazing concept works and then put it into action, you will never look back.
How to find hot selling digital products in general is quite a daunting, if not, a mind boggling task. Finding a good choice of idea or product is always accompanied by interfacing the demand for the digital product in the current market and the level of competition or market share that the product will be having in the long run.
For reasons of more than one, there are a lot of probable digitalproducts that you think you may sell, which however may not be as high demand as you think. So I suggest, work from common sense to research. Why? Common sense indicates you sell digital products that are not only functional but are in demand in the present times.
From then on, move aside common sense and narrow your list to research. You have to know the benefits of that particular good or service in order to market it to your target. You just don’t dive in blue water just because you assume its deep enough. You have to know facts and details.
There are all kinds of twists along the road that may lead you to think you have a high-demand idea. We must be able to understand and satisfy the need, wants and expectations of our customers on a certain digital product that they’re trying to buy. Needs are the basic reasons or the minimum requirements consumers are looking for in a product or service. They are called the qualifying or “gatekeeper” dimensions in a purchase. Wants are the determining dimensions among many choices. Expectations, on the other hand, are values or intangibles associated with a product or service.
Then further into research, you look for reliable portal or online marketplaces that give opportunities to newbie or fresh entrepreneur like you. Be sure to look for those with a reliable reputation as some could sniggle their way and work holes into your pockets.
The most popular and decent one I’ve heard of is Clickbank. There are others but the most popular marketplace of digital products is Clickbank. (It’s what I am using too!) A must-do before engaging in selling your products, you have to know the terms and conditions attached. You can work your way into adding marketing tools like adwords by Google for example among with so many others.
It may help also to put in feedback and suggestions forms. This is a healthy way of tracking what area needs to improve on and that which market needs a particular good or service. Having a feedback and suggestion form creates an interaction between your customer and you enabling you to know what goods or services is selling fast or if there is a particular digital product that is needed by a specific market.
The key is to keep the interest of the customer. Products like goods and services need to be functional, in sync with the current times and should be interesting for it to sell hot like pancakes.
Another point to consider is the market share. Market share or level of competition means the ratio of your brand sales versus the total market sales. While companies would naturally define its target competitors, it is actually the consumers who ultimately decide the competitive frame, or the list related digital products or services that consumers consider when exercising their purchasing power.
We must therefore choose the market segment where we can have a potential leadership or at least a strong challenger role. Because the overriding objective of getting into this business is not just to satisfy the needs and wants of our customers but to do so profitably better than his competition. Otherwise, our competition will end up satisfying the customers better than our own interest.
We must also learn how others are advertising those digital products. If there are a good number of them doing so, it may mean that it’s a good product to get into. Coming to the last phase of the process is analyzing and evaluating all the information that has been collected. We have to look at all of the data we have collected on demand, competition, and advertising, and make decision as how they all balance out.
Of course, price should be worth it. Price can be subjective, but as an online consumer like me I would always go for a bargain. So to keep it best, keep your prices reasonable.
There are over a million net browsers every single day. The only thing is that you need to catch their interest, demands and the price right. Just by learning the basics, with discipline and perseverance added with honesty and of course a great and in demand digital productthen you could be a fast earning businessman in no time.
Today, we’re going to go over how to make money online almost endlessly with “Back End Offers.”
You see, most people think they’ll make millions just selling a single product online. The truth is a lot different.
“But MILLIONS of people want this,” they say. I say, “SO WHAT…Other people are competing to sell that widget too!”
Okay so lets say you sell them your widget for $20 that cost you $3 to deliver. Well, that means you still have sell almost 59,000 units to make a million dollars! Seems like a lot of work to me. And the worst thing is, that’s actually what A LOT of people do online.
Not YOU right? Noooo… you would NEVER do that. Would you?
Well, even if that’s how you used to think. Here’s how I want you to think.
Once you’ve built the relationship with your list then, they will keep buying your recommendations and products. However, instead of selling them the next shiny widget for mere peanuts, there are two approaches you can use.
1. Up-sell a compleimentary product or offer to them when they are already in their buying pattern. In other words another product on the back end of the sale. Example: “Would you like fries and a soda with that?”
2. Back-end other affiliate products by offering them a complimentary product that you earn money on as an affiliate. Example: “Hey, I’d like you to also see the “widget accelerator x” that XYZ Inc. makes that makes your widget work like it’s on steroids.”
In the first approach, instead of making $20 before expenses, you can make anywhere from $40 to $100 on the same transaction, depending on the amount of the up-sell.
In the second approach the same is true, except you have already collected your $20 and now you are offering them something additional later.
As long as your relationship is strong with your list, you can and WILL make more and more money with less customers.
In other words, the size of your list is not that important IF you build the relationship and cultivate that list and they are willing to spend money WITH you and THROUGH you as well!
These two approaches can be used together as well.
These three “secrets” can put a kings ransom into your bank account so DO NOT neglect them.
I’ve been visiting a lot of internet money making blogs and I have seen a lot of them posting tips on how to select the right and profitable products in Clickbank but it seems there are a few who really discussed what Clickbank is about, how it started and how it works! So for the benefit of those who want to earn online and is still vague on all the terms and processes of online marketing, I have researched some facts for you.
Before knowing or asking how Clickbank works, we have to have an idea of what is Clickbank, right? Clickbank as per my research started way back 1998, it is an online portal or a platform wherein ordinary and the not so ordinary people can post on their site if there is an item or service they want to put up for sale. For ordinary people who only want to post an item online for sale, going through credit checks and merchant account subscription and credit card processing is quite exhausting especially when there is no credit history.
This is where Clickbank comes in. They make it easier to for the so called ordinary people or even the not so ordinary ones conduct business dealings online. Today Clickbank has over 10,000 digital products and services listed ranging from tutorials of home appliances to latest gadgets, from ebooks to electronic how to’s and etc. With the variety of goods and services you can find here at Clickbank, it is close to impossible not to make a business.
For starters, how does this work? You go to www.clickbank.com and register for a one time fee of $49. After the sign up process, you wait for Clickbank’s approval which will only take some time. And since it is a portal for merchants called publishers and possible sales personnel called affiliates. There are ground rules which you have to adhere.
As a publisher, you can post up to 100 products and services, all should comply with the terms and conditions. These terms and conditions are set by Clickbank mainly to protect both rights of the consumer and the publisher as well as its affiliates, one amongst which is for you to administer a 60 day guarantee on all the goods and services you posted online.
Only after approval can you post your goods and services online. Their website is quite easy to navigate as they have search options like by relevance, by popularity and by the site’s suggested products. A prospect customer can easily have fun browsing. Then from hereon, Clickbank does all the hard work, from administrative work, to the processing of all the payments for both parties on a fix schedule of a two week basis.
The good thing is that Clickbank is always on time with their payments. Affiliates are paid firsts before the vendors. And Clickbank will still pay you even if you are promoting a different vendor. They have good support staff to assist you anytime just in case you have inquiries. Clickbank helps you track your commissions as well.
And since Clickbank is global, it is a nice place to start in making a profitable business as it can attract customers all over the world. Though it may take some time and an extra effort to browse the Clickbank affiliate program, it is still best and advisable to go through it. Clickbank has made a decent reputation through the years enabling some ordinary folks to earn millions through their platform.
