Affiliate marketing how?

Affiliate marketing how

Interested in affiliate marketing but how do you go about doing it?  What is the best way?

The truth is that there are many ways to be an affiliate and how you go about doing it depends on a few things:

1. The niche

2. The strategy

First of all lets talk about the niche.  You see, the approach to marketing will differ depending on the niche or the target customer you are aiming for.  For example, in the internet marketing niche, the most successful affiliates mail their list and offer a good bonus to encourage people to buy using their link.

But if you are in a niche such as skincare/beauty products, a more effective method is may be to have a blog about skincare etc and introducing the product that way.

Of course there are going to be a lot of overlaps and similarities in how to affiliate market, but you need to be aware that some ways of marketing work better for some niches than others.  There isn’t a one size fits all approach.

2.  The strategy is crucial in your success.  The are different avenues to go down all with their pros and cons.  For example, one strategy is to use PPC campaigns.  Very easy to do, fast results, lots of traffic but also requires cost in money too.

Another strategy is blogging.  Very low cost (even free) but consumes time in terms of writing posts and articles.

Choosing a strategy and sticking to it is very important and this is where a lot of beginners fall down on.  They simply go from one thing to another depending on which guru is selling the “next big thing”.  So be smart and don’t get caught in the trap.  Stick to one strategy, get the results THEN you can try out another strategy.  If you want some help in this area, the you should read the affiliate marketing how report.

How to make money on the internet

“How to make money on the internet”

This is a very common question I get asked all the time.  So lets have a chat about it!

When people ask me how they can make money on the internet, I reply with this question:  Do you want some fast money or do you want to build a business?

Then people realize that making money on the internet is not just something you can do without commitment and thousands of dollars just fall on your lap.  You see, the biggest problem we have nowadays (which is also fuelled by the IM gurus) is that people are lead to believe that making money on the internet is a fast cash thing, that by following some “system” that you are going to be a millionaire!

REALITY CHECK*****

It ain’t going to happen.

Do you know why?  It’s because making money on the internet is still a real business.  It’s no different to a bricks and mortar business.

Somehow, a lot of people approach the internet as a side game and dream of making thousands of dollars without having to do anything, but they are deluded.

In order to make decent money, you need to approach it as a real business:  You need a business plan, a strategy, the right training, the right contacts.  Please don’t be those people who float around buying up empty promises of riches every time a “guru” sells you the next big thing is here at a discounted $997!  Only 3 places left……..etc you know what I mean.

The people who buy these promises are clueless.  They are going after one thing to another.  Have a decent plan and stick to it.

I know in the beginning it’s easy to be lead many different ways.  I guess that’s because you’re still figuring out what works or not!  If you’re still figuring it out, I advise that you read about how to make money on the internet the report.

Don’t be a headless chicken.  Learn the best strategy for you and stick to it.  Easy.

Good luck.

Secretmoneysource.com scam review

You may have come across secretmoneysource.com or the Franklin Cash System.  This is also linked to a site cash-in-now.com which is being marketed via PPC.

Some straight advice for anybody thinking or even considering joining them.  Stay Well Away.

The system is set up as a cash gifting system.  This looks and sounds nice.  So what does it mean?

The sales pitch is that it isn’t a normal business and since money is processed as a “gift”, legally it won’t be as a normal business and no products need to be bought or sold.

How it works is pretty simple.  It is a hidden Ponzi Scheme.  If you don’t know what one is, there is a good site that explains it all:

http://www.cashgiftingwatchdog.com/basics/what-is-cash-gifting/

If you put your money in the “system”, the person at the top of the pyramid ends up with all the money, whilst the people who join at the bottom get left with little or nothing as they need a vast number of recruits to get their pay.

If you want to make money online, then stay away from these scammers who make making money easy.  They are out to catch greedy or desperate people who want to make money fast.  There is no such thing as quick money unless you won the lottery or played gambling.

If you want to produce a real income online, you need to understand how the processes work and what is involved.  This free report explains it all.

If anybody has fallen foul of any scams please let me know so we can expose these people and help one another make money the real way and build a real business for our futures.

Stay safe.  Learn to avoid the scams.

Vinitti Cash Flow system scam

I came across this new site on PPC vinitti.com Is it a scam?

This site comes under various names such as vinittipartner.com, vinitticashflowsystem.info

Latest update 4/6/09

I received some comments from Jacob Clement the owner of Vinitti.com

He has assured me that the system is not a scam and he can also be contacted by telephone.

“Anyone wants to talk to me directly you can reach me at (801) 529-8785.

Im available mon-fri 11 am to 7 pm mtn standard time.”

Since he has the decency to speak up and defend his company I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Therefore if you have had any positive experiences with Vinitti, please post your comments.

On the other hand, if you believe this to be a scam, please also post your comments so others can know.

Making money home based business

What is making money home based business about?

Simply put, it can be any type of business that makes money without the need for an office or official shop.

With the recession and redundancies taking a grip on the economy, people are looking at alternative ways of making money.  Home based business can be a very useful option especially for those who have children or time commitments that don’t allow them to work normal full time hours.

A home based business can come in the form of franchises, direct mail, local services or internet based.

Personally I believe that making money using the internet is the most effective way of making money quickly but also allows a passive income too.

There are two main hurdles when it comes to a home based business:

1)  It takes a lot of self motivation, as there is no boss breathing down your neck.  The money you make is in direct proportion to how well you use your time.

2)  There are a lot of scams that advertise themselves as home based business but instead of helping you make money, they end up making money out of you.  These scams are usually quite easy to identify, especially when you notice some kind of pyramid scheme or talk of having to “recruit” other people to boost your income.

Assuming you deal with the two hurdles, the third step is to make sure that the home based business actually works and your effort in making money is not wasted by an underachieving system.  I know of some catalouge distributors who work their butts off for minimal commissions.

Without sounding too biased, I think making money with the internet is the most time effective and low risk method.  BUT do be aware of the scams that promise that you can make $10000 in 2 days by just filling our surveys etc.

Here’s the story on how I got started in making my first $2000 online.

I did get scammed but I also learnt my lesson.

Make Money Fast Scams

It can be hard to avoid the make money fast scams.

During this time of recession, more and more people fall for the make money fast scams as they try to find ways supplement their income.

It could be that someone has just been made redundant or fallen ill.  Some people may be in a situation where they are struggling to pay the rent and for food.

Whatever the situation, scam artists are taking advantage of these people’s situations and are trying to make money fast for THEMSELVES.

What we need to do is to educate the public in keeping their heads screwed on and don’t fall for the emotional hard sell by the scammers.

If you see websites with headlines such as “make $2000 a day with only 1 hour work” as attractive as that may seem, it’s most likely a scam.  Of course most of you would be smart enough to avoid them and know that money does not grow on trees, however, some desperate people in need of some money fast can sometimes fall victim to these sites.

So can you actually make money fast?  The short answer is no, but it is sort of possible.  And we’re not talking about winning the lottery here.

Internet marketing is one of the ways you can make money fast.  In fast, I mean make a full time income in the space of a few months.

A lot of bloggers and affiliate marketers have done it including myself.  Now by no means is it easy.  It’s hard work and you need a lot of focus.  BUT if you want to make money fast (compared to making $7 an hour working at Burger King) then it is possible.

Whatever you do though, don’t get caught up in the make money fast scams promoted by those who want to make a quick buck out of you!

Genuine ways to make money online

Trying to find out the genuine ways you can make money online is a complete minefield in itself.

When websites tell you that their way is the genuine way to make money, how can you believe them?  You’ve even probably been scammed yourself and are somewhat skeptical about the claims that people make and then try to sell you.

You know what?  I don’t blame you.  I know what it’s like.  I’ve been through it all in my quest to learn how to make some income online.

When there’s a will, there’s a way.  And I guess with that attitude I adopted, I did finally make it.

Let me give you a few tips of advice from someone who has gone through it:

1)  I would say that the majority of sites that describe “genuine” ways to make money online are NOT actually genuine in that it is just a play to suck you in or sell you something.

2)  People who actually have made a fortune online did it with a lot of hard work and built up a business just like you have to in the offline world.  They did not buy a copy of the rich jerk and become a millionaire a week later.

3)  It is true that there is a lot of money to be made online.  IF you know what the genuine ways are.

4)  There are lots of different “genuine” ways that actually do work, but you need to cut through all the smoke and mirrors to find it.

Finally, if you are searching for a real way to make money which does not involve playing online casinos etc, read my story here.

I would love to hear your comments on my report.

make money online no scam

Avoid being scammed once and for all.  Read the full report here

You will come across internet marketers trying to sell you some products with the title along the lines of make money online no scam or make money online no scams!  Why?

Quite simply because there are so many products that are near scams out there.  Even the ones that claim to be “make money online no scam” could well be a scam with a smart title just to get your attention or try to buy your trust.

If you are thinking about making money online, you of course need to take some risks.  That goes without saying as life is all about taking certain risks, but within that concept, one has to make good judgements too.

The fact that you are reading this page means that you are trying to make a good decision, using various sources and validation to make a good choice.  That is a good step.  Let me also direct you in a path that will help you make good decisions and actually make some money.

You see, I have experienced over and over buying into the promises that marketers “sell” to me until I one day finally had to make the decision to stop chasing after the make money quick game and find something that realistically works.  It was a hard decision but none the less the best decision I ever made.  My breakthrough did not come easy, but it DID come.  Here are the two principles I had to stick to without fail everytime to avoid being scammed:

1)  There is no such thing as a free lunch. No matter what they say.  If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

2)  There is no such thing as making X amount of money in X days without a foundation first. When a course claims to make you $1000 in 3 days, technically it may be possible.  What it doesn’t tell you is that it can take a few months of learning and practise to get to that level.

What I want to tell you is first of all stop falling for the make money online no scam!  Scams (if you know what I mean) and learn how to do it properly.

If you want to learn how I did it and how simple it actually can be if you know what you’re supposed to do, read the report here.

Make Money Online Now scams

I can guarantee that if you type in “make money online now” as a search term on google or any other search engine, you will get lots of sites or PPC sponsored advertisements claiming they can show you how to make money fast.

I just typed in “make money online now” and found 2 top sponsored sites.  What I found was ” a fast cash system that makes you £300 per day”

I decided to investigate this claim and what I found was a so called “system” that you are supposed to use at online casinos.  The so called system is basically a double up if you lose method on roulette.

Yes it is true that if you keep doubling up on roulette, you won’t lose your deposit (if you can keep up with the cumulative deposit needed), but you will only ever win that initial bet back.  i.e. if your first bet was $1, no matter how many bets it takes you to win, you will only ever win $1.  (They don’t tell you that on their site!)

If you repeat this process 300 times, you get $300.  (assuming the casino doesn’t catch you doing this pattern which of course they will keep an eye on your “technique”)  In a real life casino, you would get banned straight away.  No doubt.

The whole idea of giving you this idea is the hope that you will click on their affiliate link to join these online casinos where they get paid a commission.  So do you really think they make money with the technique they just told you or the real way they make their money is by getting you to join the casinos?  It’s not rocket science is it?

The point isn’t about the legalities or if this technique works or not.  The point is that making money online by playing the casinos is not a real business building pastime.  Sure you can make a few bucks mindlessly clicking away for hours before you get caught and banned - and the casinos always watch you no matter what others say.

A lot of people out there fall for these smooth talking sites due to the appeal to the human emotion.

Sit back and think.  Don’t let greediness be your achilles heel.

If someone claims that they can show you how to make money online now or make money online fast, think twice.

Money does not just drop down onto your lap like that.

Advice on how to make money online

For advice on ways that really help you make money online, see my free report here.

People often ask me for advice on how to make money online.

This is a common question and there are many “experts” who give advice on how to make money online too.

Like many things involving this niche on the internet, there are many traps and pitfalls to be mindful of.  The first thing to note when you are taking advice from people online is to find out who they are and what they promote.  For example if you want to learn how to make money online using blogs, the best way to find out how to do it is to find a person who actually does it well and has a track record for it.  This can be done with some reasearch on google, but please be cautious as you do need to sift through information that could be completely biased (due to affiliates promoting the “expert’s” products) or very opinionated views.

Some material could well be self promotion material such as the expert’s own site or blog.  You really need to use your instincts to gauge what you read about.

Advice given from PPC (pay per click) ads on google tend to be promotional material designed to make money from you, so I would be very wary of getting “advice” from such sources.  One of the better ways is to go to forums on your topic which have a lot of input from various sources.  This tends to weed out the phoney self promoting marketers though you still need to be careful of what you listen to.

On a personal level, I can tell you that during the past few years, I fell for many traps and got conned quite a few times listening to so called advice online.  It took a step learning curve for me to get to where I am now and finally figure it all out.  I guess it was some trial and error - something I do not recommend if you can help it.

There is a much easier way.  You can learn all about it by reading my report here. It tells you what I went through and what I eventually discovered……Well worth a read.
