Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

What do you tell your friends and business contacts when they ask you how they can get a website online?

Do you start getting into the nitty gritty details of registering a domain, picking up hosting, hiring a designer, working on SEO, and getting traffic?

Do you even feel comfortable enough with your own success to educate others on these topics?

Well, here is the best way you can help other businesses get online, do very little work yourself, and get paid well for the recommendations: Become an affiliate for the picks and shovels of websites.

Website Hosting

Web hosting and domain registration are something you shouldn’t bother with because the profit margins are too low (usually). Instead, become an affiliate for Kiosk or Hostgator (earn up to $150/referral).

Domain Registration

For domain registrations, there aren’t many good affiliate programs, but if you think you’ll refer more than 50 people to by a domain name each year, you may want to become a reseller of my domain registration services at Shylar.com (click the resellers in the middle right column).

Blogging

Many business owners want to get a blog for their business, but don’t have the time to figure out all the pieces and perhaps you don’t know your plug-ins from your log-ins. So send them to Blogi360 as an affiliate. You can also send them to my Unstoppable Blogging training so they can get free and advanced training on how to build a business blog (you earn up to $70/sale).

Autoresponders

Building a list of current and future customers is essential for any business, even those that have a brick and mortar store. You can connect business owners with Aweber as an affiliate and earn 20% of their monthly fee each month. You can also refer people to my Discover Autoresponders course, where I teach them how to use Aweber step-by-step. You’ll earn up to $32 for each referral there.

Complete “Brochure” Website

My final tip for you today is perhaps even better (and at $400/referral, you’ll understand why). You can follow the Easy Offline Riches program created by Mark Lareau.

It starts with the following premise: Yellow pages are dead. This isn’t hard to imagine – just think about how often you use those door stops to look up information anymore. Google, Craigslist and other online search sites are the new champions. So what is a local business owner to do for new customers?

The obvious answer is to get a website.

Now you might think that this idea is nothing new, and in fact, it isn’t. I started making websites for small businesses and local organizations in 1999. But remarkably, a large percentage of store owners and service providers still have no online presence.

I usually don’t encourage people to market website services unless they are actually good at graphic design, blog installations, and HTML/CSS. But I’m sure, like me, you get asked, “How can I get a website going. It all seems so complicated!” And because you don’t have all the answers, you aren’t able to give them the help they are looking for – and they remain stuck.

That is, until now.

What do they really want? In most cases, the average business owner wants a professional looking “brochure” website – 3-5 pages to explain what they do, how to contact them, and where to find their location. These business owners typically have no time to fuss with any of the details themselves, and, even though it’s really easy to update a website these days, they simply want someone else to do it for them.

Now you can connect these business owners to a service that will create an SEO optimized website for them – and you do nothing past the match-making.

It costs well under $100 to get your own website and promotion package, which includes the advertising templates (postcards, business cards, etc.) to drive these offline professionals to your website. And each sale that you generate from that traffic yields $400 as an affiliate!

Best of all, unless you want to do the websites yourself (which I don’t recommend), the people behind this “Easy Offline Riches System” will do all the work.

Remember the Big Picture

The overall point is this: your expenses in getting your business online should be turned into a series of profit centers. And when others see your success, they will beg you to tell them what tools you are using, and who taught you how to “do all this internet stuff.”

So tell them about hosting, and blogging, and autoresponders. And if they’re really eager to have someone else do it for them, then share your own website which gives them an easy solution for their first website online.

I want you to become known as the go-to expert in your field – but I also want you to generate multiple streams of income by sharing the resources you use to get that success. Not only will you increase your bottom line, you’ll be helping local businesses grow theirs too.

Everybody wins – you’ve gotta love that!
