Pieces Of Marketing Materials To Look For In An Affiliate Product

Marketing blogger

Promoting affiliate products is not without its hassles, but if youre dedicated and have a strong plan you can make money month in and month out.

Selecting the right affiliate products is key in getting results from affiliate marketing. With the wrong product, you wont be able to make money no matter how much traffic you send through your affiliate link.

One of the hallmarks of a good affiliate program is the marketing materials that the publisher includes with their promotion package. If youre searching for an affiliate product to promote, look for the following marketing materials on their affiliates page. The more they offer, the better.

1.Product graphics

One of the best ways to show your market what youre promoting is to include a picture of the product on your website or on a pre-selling landing page. Product graphics help increase the perceived value of the affiliate product and will increase your conversion rates.

Look for an affiliate product that offers several different sizes of product graphics.

2.Banner ads

Although banner ads are less effective than they used to be in the first days of online marketing, they can still be an effective promotional tool.

Why create your own banners when you can use premade ones provided by the product creator? Banner ads from product creators are generally professional produced and are of high quality.

3.Block ads

Just like banner ads, block ads can be very helpful in your promotional efforts. This size is useful to display in the sidebars of your blog and in areas where you need a smaller size of ad than a banner ad.

4.Articles

Pre-written articles can be hit or miss. Make sure you read through the articles completely before using them. Give preference to products that offer articles that you can adjust to suit your needs.

This way you can get a base version of the article and make it unique so you can submit it to directories for backlinks. Even better are affiliate marketing programs that give you monthly articles that you can use in your promotions.

5.Email marketing messages

Although youll generally want to edit your email marketing messages so that they are unique and fit your style/voice, having a base email marketing message can help you save time and get a quality message out to your list in a shorter period of time.

6.Twitter messages

Twitter messages can help you save time and figure out exactly what to Tweet about when you are promoting the affiliate product. Its not a necessity, but this can be an affiliate program perk.

7.Rebrandable reports

This is one of the most helpful pieces of affiliate marketing materials available.

If an affiliate program has a high quality promotional report that you can rebrand with your own affiliate link, you can get on the track to making affiliate income really quickly.

Rebrandable report should be helpful and interesting. If they meet this criteria, then put it to use right away.

How to Use Ebay Classified Ads for Affiliate Marketing and Building Lists

Marketing blogger

eBay classified ads make up less than 1 percent of all listings on eBay. These classified ads show up alongside regular auctions and get just as much exposure as a regular auction except classified ads have a one-time fee, no final value fee, and runs for a minimum of 30 days.

In fact, if you still want to continue selling eBooks on eBay, it’s the only format in which you can still sell eBooks. But eBay classified ads are still very much under the radar and not utilized to their fullest potential.

The 2 best uses of eBay classified ads for internet marketers are list building and/or affiliate marketing. However, the rules of what can be placed in a classified ad are very vague, but you can still have things in a classified ad that you can’t have in listings that use other formats.

For instance, you can place links from websites outside of eBay with the item you have for sale, you can have an opt-in box in your ad to build your list, and often you can get away with having your email address in a classified ad.

As with everything on eBay, this too will be a numbers game. Obviously the more views your ad gets, the more opt-ins and/or sales you will make.

So the most important part of your classified ad will be your title. If people aren’t searching for the keywords that are in your title, chances are people aren’t going to find your ad or not many people anyway.

Another thing to consider with your title is how popular the keywords are in your title are; meaning are there a large number of people searching for that keyword or a small number. A way to find out what the popular keywords are on eBay is to check out eBay pulse.

eBay pulse tells you what the most popular searches are on eBay. But something I like even better than eBay pulse is the site at auctioncloud.com. Although it’s not as up-to-date as eBay pulse this site goes into more detail about the most popular search terms on eBay.

With eBay classified ads the number of people viewing your ads is very important so using information from eBay pulse and ‘Auction Cloud’ can give you ideas of what you need to have in your title.

But to be certain about how many people could be potentially viewing your ad you should check out a few completed listings with the keyword(s) in the title. A lot of the completed listings will be 7-day auctions but by checking out how many views a few of those completed auctions get and multiplying that view count by 4 (4 weeks in a month; ads are 30 days) you get a rough idea of how many views your ad will get.

Ideally you want your eBay ad to get a few hundred views in a month’s time but a eBay ad can still be successful even if it doesn’t get a whole lot of views in the course of a month.

Real life example:

A guy named Warren decided to promote the ClickBank product ‘Fat Loss 4 Idiots’ using an eBay classified ad with 5 tips on “maximizing your weight loss goals” and an opt-in box that offered a FREE 2-week diet diary with tips if you signed up. The following are his results with the ad:

– 114 views
– 29 people opted in
– 6 sales

Total commissions earned: $207.18

A 30-day ad costs $9.95 not including extras like subtitle, bold, border, etc. There are 60-day, 90-day, and 180-day eBay ads but its recommended you test your results with 30-day ads first.

Also, something that gives you a competitive edge with your eBay ad is when you can find keywords to put in the title of your eBay ad that gets a lot of searches, thus possibly getting you a lot of views, but keywords in which there are not many results for, anything with less than 100 results is great.

In conclusion, eBay classified ads are a great way for internet marketers to build their list(s) and promote affiliate products but before doing that do a little bit of research and then try using an eBay classified ad.

A Few Things You Should Know Before Getting Involved In Network Marketing

Marketing blogger

With all the economic hiccups and credit crunches happening worldwide, many people are always on the lookout on how they can improve or mend their financial situations. Usually, they take extra work on top of their day jobs. With these, it is no wonder why many people are getting curious at network marketing jobs.

What is network marketing?
Network marketing can be referred to as a marketing technique or strategy that involves independent agents to get in touch with prospective clients in exchange for a specific amount of commission for the sales that they are able to make as well as the sales made by the other people in which that agent has sponsored into the business. Usually agents who are engaged in network marketing have the option to do their work on their free time for a specific number of hours or on a full time basis. If you are thinking of taking such type of work, here are a few things you should know before getting involved in network marketing.

Compensation Through Recruitment-

You must avoid any network marketing companies that offer compensation plans, which include payments coming purely from recruiting other distributors. This may be a sign that the network marketing company you are talking to is just a pyramid scheme.

Purchasing a Set of Expensive Products or Items in Advance-

You should also watch out for network marketing companies that will require their new distributors to buy a set of expensive items or products in advance. This is another sign of a pyramiding scheme and this will just collapse quickly.

Making Money Through a Downline-

You must also be cautious when a network marketing company would offer you plan where you will only make money if you constantly expand your downline instead of sales through products. Real network marketing jobs must not depend on the recruitment of other distributors to earn or by expanding the downline.

Get the Facts Straight-

Most network marketing companies have products related to health. If the network marketing company claims that their products have extensive health benefits, you have to get that information validated before believing or repeating them. The facts need to backed up by real validation and not just by the words of the representative that you are talking to.

Scrutinize What They are Saying About Incomes-

Other network marketing representatives would entice you to join their network marketing company by providing you information about the potential income that you can have or their current earning marks. However, you must be watchful and as much as you can scrutinize what they are saying since those using the pyramiding scheme will lie about their actual earnings just so you will join.

Never Be Pressured-

When joining a legit network marketing company, representatives will never pressure you or put you on the spot in such a way that you will feel compelled to join or sign contracts. They should allow you to take your time so you can think about their proposal more as well as weigh the pros and cons of the business for you.

Network marketing, just like any business, is not risk-free. Moreover, there would be certain individuals who might take advantage of the economic bumps just so they can recruit people in doing non-beneficial network marketing scheme. You must always be cautious and always think about things thrice. Remember these few things you should know before getting involved in network marketing.

Ganoderma Organo Gold Coffee Network Marketing Survival Training Part Eight

Marketing blogger

To explain how to the response to an objection from a prospect let us use an example. As an example the objection of, I have to think it over, is used in most cases to say indirectly that the prospect does not have enough money to start and maintain a network marketing business. Somebody who has many objections is actually somebody who is very interested in the ganoderma organo gold coffee network marketing business. New distributors need to know that they must incorporate as many objections and their respective factual answers into their presentations. You also need to teach your new distributor during the Survival Training session that the essence of the network marketing business is based on three things. Study, Do and Teach. These three things need to be performed at the same time simultaneously.

So as a sponsor you meet your first prospect, say Joe. You give Joe a pre approach package that you use as part of your duplicatable system. Joe goes home and studies and absorbs the contents of the pre approach package about the ganoderma organo gold coffee network marketing business. You then sign Joe up into your business. You then start teaching Joe by getting Joe to your Getting Started training within 48 hours of you signing him up. You then help Joe circulate the same pre approach packages to his list of prospects. He gets appointments with some of those prospects of his. You help him with the first few presentations that he has his prospects come to. At the end of week two, after you have signed Joe up, Joe has now also sponsored and signed up his people into his business, which is another line in your network.

Now Joe has scheduled a Getting Started training for his new distributors that he has just signed up. What Joe is doing at that stage, just like you have done with Joe to get him to that stage, is that you and Joe are now both teaching. This is what you need to know if you are brand new or you have just signed up as a distributor in the ganoderma organo gold coffee network marketing business. You think that you have to study the business for two years. Then after you have studied the business for two years you will then do the business for two years. Then you will teach the business after that. No. Wrong. You Study Do Teach the network marketing business all at the same time. So what do you study do and teach. You study do and teach Self Development and all the Organo Gold products and business building techniques.

How A Simple Drop Card Will Explode Your Offline MLM Marketing Strategies

Marketing blogger

Lets not make offline mlm marketing strategies any harder than they need to be. Lets rid any of those uncomfortable face-to-face pitches with strangers 3 feet away. Lets make marketing enjoyable shall we?! This business is meant to be FUN!!!

This is an mlm marketing strategy that should be carried out if you are already out. Don’t take time out of your day just to leave the house to go and drop cards all over the place. I’m sure there will be many times you are out when you can do it. Well, if you haven’t, let me explain myself. A drop card is a replicator $100 dollar bill note that is half the size and with the middle half removed. You can write your website name and your tag line on the back. If you fold the note in half then it looks very similar to a real note when found on the floor for example.

1. Drop Card Tip #1 – drop it on the floor

When folded, it can be mistaken for a real note, especially when seen from a distance, say on the floor when someone walks along. It will entice them to reach down and pick it up with excitement in anticipation of a real $100 note. The less cynical will likely find the drop card is not a real dollar bill and be intrigued to find out more. This is why you should try to be bried in your tag line…just create curiosity. If they do not want it then it is likely they will just throw it back on the ground and will be marketing for you again. You need a place to send these prospects. Might I suggest a capture page. One that you created rather than a hyped up replica website given to you when you join your mlm company. If you do not know how to create a professional high converting capture page, I can help you.

The great thing is that this strategy is duplicatable because isn’t hard for anyone to drop a card on the street. Just be careful not to over do it and leave a trail. 😉 If you’re feeling daring and don’t have to flee the scene, get a video or photo of some evidence…it’ll be great for marketing purposes. 🙂

Drop Card locations might include:

* in the street
* in the grocery store
* in a hotel room
* on a bus
* in a restaurant

2. Drop Card Tip #2 – magazines and books “reverse” shop lifting 😉

Next time you visit the bookstore or supermarket, head to the personal development, home based business or investment section. Have your drop cards and in hand and place a drop card inside the book/magazine. Try to be subtle and relaxed and not look obviously suspicious. 🙂 A book that has been very effective is “The Secret” inside the chapter “Prosperity”. Whoever finds will be delighted at how fast “The Secret” works! 🙂 would buy. For example, “The Greatest Salesman In The World” by Og Mandino or “Cashflow Quadrant” by Robert Kiyosaki or lastly but not least…”The Secret.” This book in particular has a chapter in it called “Prosperity”. Place it inside that chapter and your prospect is going to be astounded by how fast “The Secret” truly works! haha!

The individuals reading these titled books are the types of people you need in your business. Multilevel Marketing is a journey of personal development. You want those involved in it already. Its great!

Drop Card locations might include:

* personal growth books
* business magazines
* home based business magazines
* stay at home mum magazines
* property magazines
* home design magazines
* designer fashion magazines
* art and design magazines
