Part 3:

Build a blog for each niche you are in.  Fill that blog up with great information on the subject matter.  At least put up 15 solid posts before you start sending traffic to it.

If you can continue blogging 2 or 3 times a week your blog will start getting search engine traffic on its own.

Add your opt-in form to the blog to get more subscribers.

After you have picked a niche, built your blog and website(reviews and info).  Using Pay per Click advertising is a great way to get instant targeted visitors.  Yes it does cost money but doing only free traffic methods takes a long time.  Before you spend months on that.

Send some PPC traffic to your site and blog to see if you get any conversions.  This is testing to see if it is worthwhile before you spend months or years on something.

Some PPC tips:

Treat each keyword phrase as a separate business.  You need a special landing page for each phrase that is optimized and has some content in order to get a good quality score from google. This will keep your costs down.

Be careful and set a low budget.  It is easy to burn money with PPC.  Start slow and don’t try to get 100′s of visitors a day from each keyword.

The last method I want to discuss is article marketing.

This is one great way to send traffic to your websites and blog. And it costs little or no money at all.  IT’S FREE.  But remember it is free for all so there is competition for almost any product or niche.  You have to do more work than the others to win the battle.

What is article marketing?  You find a list of keywords for your niche and start writing small articles on them.  Then you submit them to article directories like Ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com.  Small 400 word articles that talk about a problem and offers tips and advice on that problem.

These articles have a great chance of getting high ranking on search engines and driving traffic to your websites.  Free traffic from the bio box at the bottom of your article.

It is free to submit all the articles you want.

You just write and submit to a bunch of article directories.  The link in your biobox will send traffic to you and earn you commissions on autopilot.  They are little salespeople working for you 24/7.

Don’t try to sell in the article.  Keep them as tip or advice givers with a link to your site at the bottom.  Make them curious to learn more.  Make your biobox offer something really cool for them to at least take a look at your website.

On your site, make sure the first thing they see is your freebie and opt-in box.  Commonly called a squeeze page.

Once you get someone on your list, you can send them lots of free related info and this is the best part… affiliate product offers so you can make money while helping them solve the problem they have.  And get this, you can email them forever if you keep them happy.

Part 2:

Four Top Ways To Market Affiliate Products:

First:  Don’t send all your traffic to a Sales page.

Instead you want to route them through your own website with a review for the actual product.  Share info about the main problem and explain how the product will solve it.  Don’t forget people searching on line are looking for information not to buy something.

Get that free information out for them to read first.  Give value and make sure your website looks like an info site.  This helps them believe what you say.

Before they leave your website, try to offer them something for free and get them to subscribe to your list.  So you can contact them later.  Get an auto responder and put an opt-in form on your site.  People wont just opt-in unless you really make it worth their while.

Use a free video/report to get the contact information.

Your free report doesn’t have to be anything major.  Just 6 or 7 pages with exactly the type of information they are already looking for.

Make it interesting and very helpful.  Sell the report with a list of bullet points.  Once a person opts-in you now have the chance to email them over and over again.

This is how all the major internet marketers make so much money.  They don’t just get a click and never see that person again.  You know they are interested in a subject.  Get that contact information and you will make a lot more money.
