Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

A lot of people hear they can “get rich” with affiliate marketing, but too many come up way shorter than they want to.

Or, worse, they spend so much money on advertising and driving traffic that they dig a much bigger hole than the one they started in.

As I’ve developed my own business, I’ve generated quite a bit of my revenue from affiliate marketing. In fact, it typically makes up about 1/3 of my income. At times in the past, it was even more than that. But I don’t subscribe to a lot of the hypey ways to do it.

I’d like to share some of my big secrets to affiliate marketing success with you, starting today with my favorite one.

While I’m away at my “Hotseat Holiday” this week with my Fast Track Masterclass students, one of the FTMC members will fill in with 3 articles. In this first post, D’vorah Lansky shares how she’s implementing Phase 1 of my SIMPLE formula for success online.

Hi, my name is D’vorah Lansky. I work with professionals to assist them in growing their business, both online and offline. I’d like to thank Bob for having me as a Guest Blogger on his site. I’ve been studying Bob’s online programs for several years and this past Spring I attended his SIMPLE (School for Information Marketing Profits Live Event) seminar.   Since I’m also a former public school teacher and a current business mentor, I was impressed and appreciative of Bob’s teaching style, the caliber of guest faculty and the quality of the training materials that we were provided with.

An essential aspect of the SIMPLE training program is what Bob calls “SIMPLE: Phase 1″. This is where we select a product that has an affiliate program attached to it which complements our product or program focus or one that would be of great interest to our audience. Here’s how I’m implementing this in my business…

Last weekend, I was one of Adam Urbanski’s faculty members at his Info Profits Success Bootcamp.

Met some really cool people, so I put together a music video featuring pictures throughout the weekend using Animoto.

• How to shortcut your climb to expert status as a connector
  
• When to start promoting your own products and services (the answer to this may surprise you)
  
• My #1 source of long term traffic and how to get it.
  
• Secrets to pricing your products to reach $10,000/month faster than you ever thought possible.
  
• How using your telephone can bring you faster results than struggling to create content and products the hard way.

Snow is falling again in my old school system. If I was still teaching the ninth graders, I’d be wearing my pajamas inside out and doing the “Snow Day Shuffle” – in the hopes that school would be closed.

Yes, it’s true – teachers love snow days even more than the students.

I’m no longer teaching school, but I can remember how much I took advantage of the snow days in the early days of creating my business.

So here’s a quick list of 10 things you can do in a single snow day to move your online business forward…

As you think of how you’ll manage your time and resources for the next year, use this list of the top 5 profit activities to guide you.

1. Build a List

First and foremost you need to be building a list.  You need to be building a list.   Now this doesn’t just mean building a list of contacts.  It doesn’t just mean building an e-mail list in an auto responder.   It means you’re building up a group of people who know who you are, who anticipate hearing from you and are willing and able to follow what you’re doing and take action on what you’re offering.

So it comes in the form of an e-mail list like a service like Aweber.  It also comes in the format of your social networks like Facebook friends or fans or Twitter followers in other resources.  You’ve got to be the person that people want to connect to.  If you’re promoting something anonymously there’s no real way for you to build a list very effectively.  People want to connect with a human being.  They want to get to know you.  They want to get to know your business, your personal life a little bit.  They just want to get to know you so they know they can trust you.

So you’ve got to be focused on building up your list.

This week seems to be officially “Big Ticket” week – or “how many ways can you be tempted to invest substantially in your business.”

Among others, here are the choices that I know about (in no particular order):

• Alex Mandossian’s Teleseminar Secrets
• Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula 2.3
• Kevin Nations Prospect Seduction Blueprint
• Bob The Teacher’s Online Profit Academy Live Workshop

Obviously, I’ll be a bit biased about the fourth one, but this lesson today is more about deciding if investing in a “big ticket” program is a smart option. Feel free to evaluate the programs above for yourself after you’ve read through my criteria below.

You’ve been hearing me talk a lot about NAMS 3 – the Niche Affiliate Marketing Systems workshop in Atlanta in January that is all the rave right now among internet marketers who value real education at conferences.

I interviewed David Perdew about what makes NAMS3 different, and to explain the benefits of the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced tracks of the weekend that sets it apart.

At the end of the audio, David surprised me and gave out a coupon code to save $100 off the registration. Make sure you get that before you register.

The presenters David has lined up are incredible teachers, and since the event is a no-pitch event, you get some of our best stuff. Plus the sessions are designed to have us teach you what we know, then give you time to implement it right there on the spot.

While you listen the audio below, here’s an unofficial list of speakers:

Are you feeling a bit stagnant when it comes to the sales of your products and services?

Obviously, getting more people to see your offer could help, but you can’t always control your traffic as much as you’d like. Plus, you may be in a situation where you’re getting the traffic, but they simply aren’t buying.

So here is my top 10 list for actions you can take today to increase your sales, without focusing on traffic.

If you’re not split testing parts of your webpages, you may be growing your email list slower and earning less money than you could be.

I’d like to share a quick case study of a recent split test I did with a teleseminar.

The Test

For my 30 Day Autoresponder Challenge, I interviewed Justin Premick of Aweber, and invited people to listen in. Before I sent out the invitation to the 30 DAC participants, I created 3 different versions of a web form in Aweber.

All 3 forms were exactly the same except for one thing: how much time did it take for the form to show up?

I was using the “lightbox” form on my Instant Teleseminar page, and wanted to see if it made a difference how fast the form popped in.

The 3 versions were set to pop up after 7 seconds, 15 seconds, and 22 seconds, respectively.

Care to guess which one would be the best?

When it comes to building your business, are you a weekend warrior? Are your Saturdays and Sundays the only time you get to work on improving your website, marketing, and product creation?

If you are a service provider, or have a full time job outside of your business, you already know that the time you can easily get caught up in the time-for-dollars tradeoff. The great promise of revenue from internet marketing is leveraging your time more efficiently.

And what that really means is you need to have at least one information product that does the marketing for you.

It can serve as a lead generation tool so you can pre-qualify your potential customers, and perhaps recommend solutions to them and earn as an affiliate.

Or you can create an information product that people are willing to pay for. With a digital product, your gross margins are extremely high. And it’s pretty fun to be working on something completely different and money comes in because of your information products.

The problem weekend warriors face is finding enough time to put a product together. So you stall and keep working on the band-aids instead of moving forward as fast as you’d like.
