Hey guys!,

As affiliate marketers you’re probably aware that the main hurdle in getting a successful campaign is being able to drive qualified traffic to your promotion. No matter how good a product is, without traffic is useless and you, as affiliate, are left with empty pockets.

As you probably know, there are different ways to drive traffic, paid and free ways. As for free methods, they are normally associated with hard work, lot of time invested and long-time results. As for paid methods, although effective, they have become increasingly expensive and risky if not done the right way.

As an affiliate marketer, I have mostly relied on free traffic, because of the nature of the products I promote that work better by offering free content to potential customers. This means, article marketing and blogging has been the meat and potatoes of my promotions.

Tweetomatic Profiteer

Although I knew Twitter was a platform being used by many successful marketers to promote affiliate products, I never really gave it a fair try, because I thought it could be a too much time-spending effort. It is obvious that this was a biased misconception driven by my own ignorance. There is no wonder that using Twitter as a promotion platform can be time-consuming, with poor results if not done the right way. This is why, finding Tweetomatic Profiteering was a blow of fresh air to using and automating the twiteering process.

In few words, this software pulls targeted traffic from the powerful Twitter directly and automatically to your affiliate promotion, with little effort. In case you don’t know Twitter has received a pool of traffic that has
increased at a rate of 1,300% only last year.

Tweetomatic Profiteering is a software that automates the management of a Twitter account by 95%. It auto follows according to keyword, it auto follows the followers of another Twitterer, it unfollows selected users, it schedules tweets, or fires them out instantly…the list goes on. Everything is done in 100% compliance with Twitter rules and best practices.

But what makes it unique is that it simplifies the process of promoting ClickBank products through Twitter, using a logical step-by-step process for monetizing the user’s followers. All the user does is click and select for each step. The most profitable and recent products are automatically retrieved. A shortened hoplink is also automatically generated for each of those products and all they have to do is prepare customized tweets and schedule them by selecting appropriate times. A comprehensive guide is accompanied to the main product to do this the the right way.

The product is fully documented and itself it is a complete guide to affiliate marketing. The software runs smoothly and it has been professionally developed and tested. It is a great product with great technical support. But more than that, it is a system that brings consistent results if put it into work following the practical advice provided in the form of videos and pdfs.

One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).

The benefits of this are:

1. You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
2. You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!

The downside is…

After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you’re losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.

What’s the solution?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a pre-sales page in between.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

1. You’ll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again.
2. You’ll be pre-selling them by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools:

1. A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
2. One or more content-rich Pre-Selling Pages
3. At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically – you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page.

If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affiliate tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn’t much of a concern.

The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your business.

Hello folks,

You have probably heard about the new Brad Callen’s service which just launched: SEO Link Vine. This is a service with the main purpose of syndicating content to a broad source of websites to get quality backlinks and, of course, traffic. The system is based in one of the most effective ways to attract traffic: article marketing. Very simple.

The service has created a broad network of blogs and websites accepting the automated submission of content in the form of articles, giving the website owner the choice of reviewing and accepting the articles. In this way, a win-win situation is created: the article creator gets one way backlinks and the website owner gets fresh content to attract spiders from search engines.

The beauty of the system lies in that members of the SEO Link Vine do not have to deal with the hassle of article submission, they just have to create unique content for their niches and the system makes the rest, building in no time, hundreds of one way backlinks.

I believe it is worth the service especially for those who manage a large number of websites and there’s simply not enough time to submit articles to article directories.

1) Displaying RSS Feeds From External Sources

If you have a RSS Reader, you can subscribe to your favorite sites that provide RSS Feeds. The reader will automatically check all the sites you’ve subscribed to and show you new updated content when it is added. By doing this, you get traffic to your website by displaying targeted fresh content from news sites and other sources which in turn boost your position in search engines.

2) Syndicating Your Own Content

If you produce your own RSS Feeds, you can have your content syndicated to the internet, especially if you are using blogs as a publishing format where RSS Feeds are automatically created and visitors can easily subscribe to those feeds.

On the other hand, potentially hundreds of other websites can publish your news and articles. This will provide free exposure and free traffic.

RSS also gives you a new marketing venue to display your ads, messages, and news directly onto your subscriber’s desktop. It will also build your credibility and brand name online with little effort!

Submitting Your RSS Feeds To RSS Aggregators

A site owner or blogger using his site as a pulpit for any number of topics can make his content available via RSS. Once done, his comments or content can be fed to the news aggregators for syndication/delivery to those interested in such content.

Submitting your RSS Feeds to RSS Agregators can be manually done if you have the time to do so. You can also use specialized software where you can submit your RSS Feeds to dozens of RSS Aggregators with the benefits of getting one-way backlinks, quick indexing in search engines and a steady stream of organic traffic. It’s a no brainer!
