Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

One of my favorite ways to get traffic through Twitter is by using a Retweet This button or text link, so that the traffic to a page can go viral.

In fact, you likely came to this page because of this strategy in action.

Here’s how you do it….

A shocking video reveals a few of the faculty members of the Niche Affiliate Marketing System workshop in Atlanta are also part of a world class dance crew.

Led by super affiliate turned dancing queen, Lynn Terry, the crew includes Nicole “Success On The Dance Floor” Dean, David “Can’t Touch This” Perdew, Scott “This is really how I got my six pack abs” Tousignant, and Bob The Teacher Dancer Jenkins.

An anonymous email confirmed the 5-member crew is practicing for auditions for “So You Think You Can Dance”, “America’s Got Talent”, and “America’s Top Dance Crew” (the fact that one of the members is actually Canadian has not been revealed to the judges of these shows).

But before they hit the small screen, they have big plans for NAMS 3. TMZ has obtained this video of the crew rehearsing in a barn in rural Tennessee. Warning: Viewer discretion IS advised!

What do you think? Do they have what it takes to make the big time? Or just a side show in the big tent?

If you’re tied into the internet marketing universe, you’re likely seeing TweetGlide exploding onto the scene. TweetGlide is a free software program from Mike Filsaime that combines the functionality of a useful Twitter App with a viral advertising/referral system to help you promote your business.

I’d like to share my initial opinions about it, to give you a better idea if TweetGlide is for you.

In brief:

Pros

• Free
• Works/looks like TweetDeck
• Ads are only seen by other TweetGlide members
• TweetGlide members who see ads are likely on Twitter for business
• Referral program for increased ad views
• Affiliate program
• Easy to remember affiliate link
• URL shortener
• Premium upgrade option special offer is cheap
• Premium ads include longer messages and color

Cons

• Ads
• Works like TweetDeck
• Can not control what is said with the “Tweet my affiliate link” option
• Money and Twitter have been hard to marry openly
• Unproven how long people will use it

I’ll explain more about the pros and cons soon after I’ve tested it out more, but since it’s free and the ads you run are only in TweetDeck it’s worth trying out without fear.

Test out Tweet Glide for yourself and let me know what you think with a comment below!

Assuming you have an affiliate program, you probably want to know ways to get more activity – more traffic, more sales, more affiliates promoting, etc.

At a recent internet marketing conference, I met an incredibly intelligent affiliate manager who gave me some excellent ideas for my own programs.

Over the next 30 days, I’ll be implementing many of her suggestions.

But first, I wanted to get her on IM Success Radio to share some of her best ideas with you as well.

She agreed, and the audio below is filled with the kinds of strategies most people are either completely ignoring or have no clue about.

This is the final lesson of the 6-part series on creating your own affiliate
program. If you missed a previous segment, see the links at the bottom
of today’s lesson.

Today I want to touch on how to motivate your affiliates to promote your products and services.

First, make sure you give them something worth promoting. After all, no affiliate wants to have their readers get angry at them for making a crappy recommendation.

But that’s probably pretty obvious to you.

So is paying good commissions to your affiliates. Let me share why you should be paying GREAT commissions to your affiliates.

This is part 5 of the 6-part series on creating your own affiliate program. If you missed a previous segment, see the links at the bottom of today’s lesson.

Getting your affiliates is one thing – getting them to promote your products and services is a different story. We’ll talk about motivating them in the final part of this series.

But today, let me share with you the biggest tip about getting people to promote:

You have to make it super easy for someone to promote your products.

This is accomplished primarily by having a suite of promo tools available to your affiliates. When you give an affiliate promo tools, you save them a lot of time. You also demonstrate how serious you are about making them money.

Ideally, you should have 10-15 types of promo tools, and each of those types should have a couple of variations. This way, not everyone’s promotion will look exactly the same.

Your promo tools should also encourage people to use them right away, but also implement them in a “set and forget” manner.

Here are my 3 favorite promo tools that I typically provide to my affiliates, and that I always enjoy using as an affiliate myself.

• Autoresponder mailing
• Fast Action Bonus Box
• Viral Video

The Twitterverse is in an uproar over the semi-automated methods of attracting new followers to Twitter. Is it all spam? Or a legitimate method of gaining exposure to a wider audience? Or is there a middle ground that can keep the Twitter-purists happy while giving new Twitter users a quicker start on growing their circles of influence?

The argument centers around a few different methods of making it easier to post messages and get followers. Specifically, I’d like to get your opinion on these three methods…

• 1 Click Tweets
• Viral Tweets
• Tweeter Getter

I’ll share my opinion and look forward to your comments below…

You are probably seeing a ton of emails flying in about Mike Filsaime’s new Traffic Fusion Hyper Java software script.

Let me share some inside knowledge about this program so you can decide if it’s worth the hype.

You don’t have to listen to me, of course, you can listen directly to Mike himself.

First, a bit of background… As you probably know, almost all of my sites run Butterfly Marketing software, which is Mike’s flagship product (at least up until now). That software (which now costs $1997 physical, $797 digital at PoweredByButterflyMarketing.com) has powered sites like DiscovercPanel, SquidooSecrets, Discover Social Networking, Teleseminar Formula, and all the others.  With that engine running my business, I’ve done quite well.

But I’ve also worked my butt off creating products to sell using the software.

So here’s the first point behind any new software gizmo that comes out – you still have to work your butt off creating valuable products people will benefit from.

Now, before I get into my no-holds-barred opinion, I should probably explain to you what this software will do.

As you may know, I’m a disciple and huge fan of Mike Filsaime, and much of my marketing success is due in part to being a student of his in the i5Gold coaching program (now deceased).

One of the ways you can quickly learn from Mike is getting a free copy of The 7 Figure Secrets – an 85 page condensed version of a 3 day weekend workshop I attended in January of 2007.

I want you to have this in your library so badly that I am giving away my very BEST training course – My 8 Steps To Profit (AKA The Eight-Fold Path To Profit), which currently sells for $297.
