Online Money Making Secrets

I have read a few articles about earning extra money using the internet by using some tips. TIPS are just in common text that tells you what to do. If you search Google now with the keywords Online Money Making you will be bombarded with a lot of blogs or website that promises you the following:

• Increases Traffic
• Earn More
• Backlinks
• etc.

I have been a blogger for many years now and I did some research on how to use this opportunity to earn extra by of course using the internet. To be honest it is really hard to be a blogger especially if your aim is to gain money. BUT it will not be that hard if you will be using the resources that some other people used.

For example:

Being an Affiliate:

You can be an affiliate to any website that offers a product like Amazon.com, Commission Junction and Clickbank.

Amazon offers you a variety of products that you can sell in your website or blogs. And CJ and Clickbank gives you ways on how to earn thru Sales and Lead. Both offers good money but the question now is how to promote this programs?

I have a simple tips:

• Use Twitter to promote the products just make sure you use tinyurl.com to shorten the original URL and of course it doesn't look like you are selling something.
• Use social network site like Myspace and Facebook. In Myspace add amazon products in your page, and in Facebook join some groups and promote the products.
  

Pay per Click:

I am not sure if people still earning using Adsense unlike before people doesn't know that clicking such ads will give other people a chance to earn. But now I think people or readers are not really enjoying clicking ads from Google and I don't know why. So the less that you can do is do not expect that you will earn a lot from Adsense.

Lastly.....

Earn money without spending any cents unless you already experienced receiving money from the programs. Coz right now there is a lot of money making programs scam in the internet.

Earn Money, Free Traffic, and Site Reviews

Do you have a blog, website, personal page or affiliate link?

If Yes, what are the things that you did to increase your traffic and get review from your readers?
When I became a blogger I always thought that I need to get alot of traffic for the following reasons:

1. i need people to appreciate the topic that i posted.
2. i need readers
3. i want to become a reliable blogger
4. i want to help people
5. i need to earn money

With this reason I strive hard to know how to promote my blog, so as an ignorant blogger I ask my fellow blogger what are the things that I should do to increase the traffic of my blog. Common answers:

1. Join Social Network (Facebook and Twitter)
2. Blog Directory (Blogcatalog and others..)
3. RSS Feeds (Feedburner)
4. Create an Article (its all about backlinks)
5. Forums (Yahoo! Answer and other forum site)
6. and theres alot more....

To be honest those ways are actually working, but of course I need more since I am a greedy blogger.
How about if I tell you that you can improve your traffic by joining LinkReferral.

Advantages:

• Receive 100's of authentic, quality, targeted visitors per day.
• Receive valuable written visitor feedback.
• Network with 250,000+ of your peers.

I did join the site 2 days ago of course for free. I am quite shock with the output it increases my blog traffic and commonly I recieved 15 unique visitor per day. Remember i'm new to the site.

WHAT are the things that I need to know?
If you join LinkReferral you need to do the following:

• visit some of the members blog or website
• review some blog or website that you like
• find a blog that you want to put in your favorite blog list

Cont. Chapter 4: Page Content/Cloaking

B. Page Content

Of course, incoming links aren’t the only thing that is important to SEO. Proper use of page title, H1-H3 tags, meta tags, description, keyword density, and content are all key to your success as well. I recommend only using one H1 tag per page, and including your main keyword or phrase in it. I also like to use a style sheet to manipulate the size and color of an H1 tag, so it fit’s in better with the site theme. H1 is the main heading for a page’s text. H2 is for sub-categories, and H3 is even smaller. I don’t even bother with H4-H6. If you aren’t familiar with style sheets, here is a simple example:

Transfer your domain for just $8.95 and get a year free!

The above code would be placed within the <-HEAD-> section of your web page. Don’t repeat your keyword in the H1 tag, and don’t make it longer than a simple sentence.

In the “keyword” Meta tag section of your page, you should put your page’s main keywords/phrases separated by a comma. Don’t go crazy here. Just list the top ones. For the “description” meta tag, just make a simple sentence or two that summarizes the page, including your main keyword/phrase. Like this:

It’s important that you keep your content updated and make a few changes every couple of weeks. That way Google knows to come back to your site every few weeks to spider your site again. You are basically training Google’s robots to think your site is important because you change and update your content often. If you don’t know enough about a subject to write a few new paragraphs about it every couple of weeks, or if you are too lazy like me, but you still want to target the subject because the keywords are high paying, you can always put articles on your site written by other people. There are a few sites that provide thousands of free articles on just about any subject, and you are free to use them on your site. You can find these articles at Article City and Ezine Articles.

Or, you can use an automated tool that generates relevant page content for you based on the keywords you input. I recommend any of these three:

• The Article System
• Traffic Equalizer
• Article Bot

D. Cloaking

As you can see, proper SEO strategies, commonly referred to as “white hat” strategies, are time consuming. I quickly found that keeping up with it would require more work than I was willing to do. Like I said, I’m extremely lazy, and I don’t want to spend my time tweaking everything to see what the results are. So, that is why I sold creditprovide.com. That is also why I don’t really bother with white hat strategies anymore. I’ve moved on to “black hat” strategies such as “cloaking”.

Cloaking is frowned upon by most webmasters, except for the ones who do it and make a lot of money like me. I can’t list my cloaked websites here, because someone could report me and get my sites banned. But, I will tell you the easiest way for a lazy person to get good rankings is by cloaking. Cloaking involves showing a keyword rich, highly optimized webpage to search engines, but a normal page to human visitors. It’s important to note that highly technical webmasters can and will report cloaked websites and get them banned. That is why 1) you should always cloak on a throw-away domain that you don’t care about, and have it redirect people to your true website. And 2) You shouldn’t cloak for highly competitive keywords because your cloaked site will be reported quickly. If you cloak on a throwaway domain and use good keywords that get a medium amount of searches, you should be able to y below the radar. Search engines like Google will only ban cloaked domains, but not the sites they redirect to, EVER. This is because Google knows your competitors would be able to easily get you banned if they punished the site that was redirected to.If this all sounds confusing, that’s okay, because there is software out there that handles cloaking for you.

I prefer a pretty expensive one ($1,700), called Fantomaster. I have used it very successfully. The creator Dirk Brockhausen is extremely helpful and provides free support for life. If you have no idea how to cloak or use his in depth program, you can pay him a small fee to set up a cloaked domain for you. The only cheaper software I’ve found that I like is Search Engine Cloaker. I’ve tried many of the other cheap ones and found that they are practically useless. There is also a cloaking forum on www.webmasterworld.com where you can ask people which software works best for them.

Cont. Chapter 4: Sample Directories

Directories - It’s important & easy to get your links added to quality online directories, so that your link popularity is increased and your PR increases. As of August 2005, the following directories all offer interior links of PR 4 or higher, depending on the category.

Free Directories - Some free directories require you to become a volunteer editor in order to submit sites for free.

1) 01webdirectory.com- Can take several months for a free listing. $49 for immediate listing.
2) AbiLogic
3) Big All
4) eZilion
5) Joe Ant - Free for volunteers. $40 for everyone else.
6) Linketeria - Instant additions. You must have an email address from the domain you submit.

Paid Directories - There are many directories you can pay for inclusion. However, most simply aren’t worth it because they don’t offer any substantial page rank. An advantage of quality paid directories is that your site will be added within a few business days.

1) Able Seek - $40 one time fee.
2) All Top Sites - $40/year
3) Arielis - $25 one time fee.
4) Best of the Web - $39.95/year
5) Business.com - $199/year - A must join
6) inCrawler- $15 one time
7) Linkopedia - $10 one time fee.
8) Microsoft bCentral - $49/year - a must join
9) Yahoo - $299/year - a must join. Non-commercial sites are free.

Other Options:

Another strong suggestion to get quality incoming links and PR is to run press releases about your site once per month. You can do so on sites like www.prweb.com for $40-$80. Even if you don’t have anything news-worthy to say, the important thing is that search engines will pick up the press releases and they will generate good PR incoming links for your website. Just create a simple press release on how wonderful your website is. Spending $80 guarantees your release will be picked up by Google News and Yahoo News.

A few more incoming link strategies:

1. On forums that allow you to post with a signature with a URL, such as www.WarriorForum.com, you should always have a keyword rich link to your website in your signature. Search engines spider these pages daily and any quality link back to your site is good.
   
2. Copy and paste a few paragraphs from your website in order to create articles on GoArticles.com and EzineArticles.com. Be sure to link back to your site in the articles. Once these articles get indexed you’ve got instant high quality backlinks to your site.
3. Create a blog at Blogger.com. Regularly make posts to it using text from your website, and include a link back to your site. Once you post your entries, go to Pingomatic.com and ping it so that it will hopefully get picked up somewhere, giving you backlinks to your blog, which will help because your blog links to your website.

Learn Google Adwords

Now that you know how to make money with Google Adsense without selling any products, lets talk about using Google Adwords to sell your own products, or the products of a company you are affiliated with. I have a very simple strategy for this. Google Adwords only allows you a limited amount of text on your Adwords ads, so you have to make it count. The only way to stand out from the rest is to be different. And I have discovered that the best way to do this is to instill some sort of fear, or to cause someone to be almost disturbed by the oddity or humor of your ad. Just as I mentioned in Chapter One, fear is a huge motivator for buying your product. If you can lead people to believe that buying your competitor’s product will cause them some sort of disappointment or financial loss, you will stand out. And you don’t have to name any names. Using humor or unusual statements also draws attention. Ads like those below should increase your CTR (click through rate), and if you have a higher CTR than your competitors you could actually be paying less per click, and appearing higher in the sponsored ad results. This is because Google favors ads that consistently have high a CTR.

Now when 7 people are displaying ads like those in the left column, and you are the only one displaying an ad like those in the right column, who do you think is going to get all of the visitors? You are. If you can create ads that cause fear, like the scam ad, or those that cause people to laugh at their oddity, such as the Seinfeld ad, you will be very successful at getting visitors.

And since you will have a review site like the one I told you to make in Chapter One, or an Adsense-tailored site like I mentioned above, you will rake in the dough – no question about it.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Even if you have your own product, like your own ebook, or even a physical

product like rust remover, using a strange, out-of-the-box ad will get you visitors.
______________________________________________________________

Now I for one would be drawn to your ad. I hate to be cliché, but it’s about thinking outside the box. When an advertiser tells you NOT to buy their product, it’s unusual and effective. Now, you would create your webpage about your product accordingly, using the strategies I mentioned in Chapter One. I remember seeing an advertisement for jeans one time that said “Steal These Jeans”, or “Steal Our Jeans”. I was drawn to it, and I still remember it. That’s the same idea. And that is effective advertising. One more thing. Since we are on the subject of PPC ads, you should be aware that Google and Overture, and most other PPC search engines DO NOT allow pop-ups on any page you link to from your PPC ad. And whether you like it or not, pop-ups are effective. Well, what if I were to tell you how to create a pop-up you can use that will NEVER get your ad banned by any PPC search engine? And, 90% of the pop-up blockers in the world will not block it. I also guarantee it will be much less annoying to your visitors as well. It’s called a oating DHTML menu. Try it. No banning or blocking, EVER. Here is where to get the code: InstantAttention.com.

Optimize Google Adsense

Continuation of Chapter 2: Google Adsense.......................................................

By optimizing my page for keyphrase “Domain Registration” and sending people who click on my Miva ad to this same page, my website will automatically display the top 3-4 Google Adwords ads for keyphrase “domain registration” on my website. Now if the top 3-4 Google Adwords advertisers are paying $7 per click for that keyphrase, I can expect to earn close to $3.50 for every person that clicks on the Google Adsense ads on my site. Because like I said earlier, most experts believe Google pays around 50% to adsense publishers. Think about it, I’m paying $.21 for the visitor to my site from Miva, then I get them to click on a Google Adsense ad on my website and I get paid around $3.50 for one click. I just made $3.29 for doing nothing but sending someone from Miva to a Google Advertiser’s website. I’m like a traffic middleman. They were only on my website for a few seconds. Now imagine if you could repeat this over and over every day for thousands of keywords. Of course not EVERY person is going to click on the adsense ad on your site, but even if every 5th or 10th person did, you still make nice profit. And if you do it for thousands of keywords, you can easily make big money. That’s what I do. Not only can you buy cheap traffic from Miva through keyword ads, but you can buy from the other PPC search engines I mentioned above. In some cases you can even buy keyword ads on Overture and Google Adwords, and STILL make money with Adsense. The way to do this is to find the obscure or little used keywords, which don’t cost a lot and when they get to your page that is optimized for the expensive keywords, you still make out good. The traffic will be minimal, but the profit is still well. Another Adsense strategy for increasing your clickthrough rate is to place small pictures next to each adsense ad. Pictures draw more attention to the ad and increase clickthroughs by up to 400%. You have to be careful that you do it in a way that doesn’t violate Google TOS. To the right is an example of how you can do it. Notice I have borders around the images, as Google requires them to appear separate from the ads.

It’s also important to create a “channel” in your Adsense account for each of your domains. You can also create sub-channels for different pages within each URL. This will enable you to track exactly which pages are earning you the most money.

Advanced Traffic Middleman Trick:

Create a simple search engine website with pre-populated search strings that match the keywords you are targeting on the smaller pay per click search engines, and make the first few results SPONSORED results from Google and/or Searchfeed.

Here is an example of how popular search engine UncovertheNet.com does it:
http://www.uncoverthenet.com/search/?q=pay+per+click

Now if UncovertheNet were to purchase the keyphrase “pay per click” on Miva or another small PPC search engine for say 10 cents, they would make sure their paid ad led people to the URL above. Now when visitors reach that page, they will see results for the same keyword they originally typed in, so they won’t likely understand what happened when they were shipped to UncovertheNet’s results. Now if the click on the sponsored ads at the top of UncovertheNet’s pre-populated page (which are from searchfeed), or the sponsored ads on the right (which are from Google), UncovertheNet will make 20 cents, 40 cents, or whatever the current rate is on Searchfeed and Google. Basically you will be paying Miva or another PPC search engine to send people to your search engine that shows relevant results. And hopefully the visitors will click on your sponsored ads because:

1) They are relevant to what they’re looking for.
2) They are at the top and right, the best placement for clickthroughs.
3) They look more like real results, and less like ads.

If creating a simple search engine sounds daunting, put up a work order on http://www.Elance.com and dozens of people will bid for the job. Choose someone who has a history of creating search engines, and they’ll handle everything and get it done in less than a week for a couple hundred bucks

Adsense versus Adwords

Now that you understand how Google Adwords and Adsense work, I’m going to show you a strategy for making big money with Google Adsense. I thought it was obvious, but when I mentioned it to a few people and they couldn’t believe they hadn’t thought of it. Anyone can put adsense ads on their site, and make them look nice. But where do you get the traffic from? Blogging, SEO? The chances of getting traffic to your site quickly through a blog or SEO is very slim.

Be a traffic middleman. Get quick, cheap, quality traffic to your website by buying keyword ads on the small PPC search engines, and when people click on your ad and are taken to your website, immediately show them relevant Google Adsense ads, and optimize your site to get them to click on these ads.

You are paying just pennies for the visitor, yet you can earn a few dollars if that same visitor clicks on the Google ad on your page. That’s because Google advertisers pay a lot more money to be seen, and because below I will show you how to be armed with a list of the keywords that Google advertisers currently pay the most money for, per click. If you bid 5 cents for a keyword on Miva and get paid 50 cents by Google Adsense for that same keyword, it’s a no brainer. There are literally hundreds of thousands of keywords you can buy ads for cheaply on the # 3-12 PPC sites listed above. Yet, many of the same keywords are VERY expensive on Google. Here is a real world example: I look on Miva.com for a popular keyphrase I may want to market, “domain registration”, and see that it currently costs $0.21 per click to appear in the # 1 position. Now I look on Overture’s max bid tool here and do a search for whatever keyword I have in mind, such as “domain registration”, Then I see that advertisers are bidding up to $7.00 per click for the SAME keyphrase I can pay $.21 for on Miva.com. The Overture bids indicate to me that advertisers on Google are bidding similarly.

Only Overture tells you the exact amounts that advertisers are bidding, but Google Adwords advertisers tend to bid similar maximums. Or, you can also use this file to review a list of keywords that Google advertisers pay the most for. Some advertisers bid up to $520 per click!!
So, now I create a page on my website specifically about “domain registration”. It’s important to note that I shouldn’t JUST have a page with Google adsense ads on it, or Google will ban me, possibly for life. Other reasons that Google will ban you are if you tell your visitors straight out that you want them to click on your links, either by text, arrows, etc. So don’t do it! (And don’t click on your own ads either. Google will know.) Instead, I must have a page with at least 2 or 3 paragraphs of relevant information on it about domain registration. Then I put the Google adsense ads between paragraphs, because Adsense allows you to select a borderless ad (make the border the same color as your background), which will work very well when placed between paragraphs, as it will look less like an ad, and more like part of your content. It will blend in. See the example below:



Now, In order to trigger a Google ad for my example key phrase, domain registration, I must make sure I have the key phrase domain registration in my page title, in the meta tags, in the description tag, and within the text of my paragraphs several times, making sure I bold it at least once. I should also have an H1 and H2 heading tag on the page with domain registration as well. I would also make sure I have a link somewhere on the site, linking back to my homepage, with an anchor text of “domain registration”.

NOTE -
If you don’t know enough about a subject to write a few paragraphs about it, or if you are too lazy like me, but you still want to target the subject because the keywords are high paying, you can always put articles on your site written by other people. There are a few sites that provide thousands of free articles on just about any subject, and you are free to use them on your site. You can find these articles at Article City and Ezine Articles. Or, you can use an automated tool that generates relevant page content for you based on the keywords you input, there are three available:

“Get Rich Quick Scams Revealed”
Read this special article before you consider
joining or paying for a “Get Rich Quick” program.

From the desk of Darwin John, senior reviewer:

......Wouldn’t it be nice to make a bundle of money quickly, with minimal effort, working at home in your pajamas? Of course it would. I for one would love to have money owing into my bank account, working only a few hours a week from home, so I’d have more time to spend with my kids & my husband, without any boss looking over my shoulder.

Whether it’s real estate investing, selling by classified ads, stock market investing, internet affiliate marketing, or something else, we’ve all seen the fantastic claims people make about making tons of money, AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. I can tell you right now that 99% of these people are total frauds. You may have even fallen prey to one of these scam artists, selling you their latest “get rich quick” program. Me too. I’ve bought so many of these programs that I can’t even recall how many. I don’t know why, but I tend to find the “good” in people, and I was “sold” by these marketing schemes time and time again, even after being scammed by another. Finally, after so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this fascination we all have with get rich quick programs, and find out if there really were any LEGITIMATE programs for making money.

I literally contacted the administrator of every get rich quick website I could find. Posing as an investor, I managed to convince the owners that I was seriously interested in purchasing their entire website and business. That way, once the dollar signs ashed in their heads, they would give me free access to their member’s areas to review what I would be “buying”. Well, I was disgusted with 99% of what I found. Many of the owners actually boasted about how many people bought their useless programs. I repeatedly found:

• outdated information
• non-working links
• links leading to other sites that asked for more money
• no help section
• no real email support
• no refunds

I quickly realized that these so-called Get Rich Quick programs were totally useless. And the owners knew it, yet they were laughing all the way to the bank! Needless to say, I didn’t respond when they asked if I was still interested in buying their websites.Surprisingly, while sifting through all of the scam artist’s websites, I was able to locate a couple of individuals that actually ran legitimate programs.

The owners were every day people like you and me that found a way to make extra money working from home on their computers. Their membership areas were impressive, with a good amount of quality information on how to make $100-$200 per day on your computer doing very little work. I even chatted with a few of their customers in several online forums, and they verified that they were making extra money through the sites. It was like I found a few diamonds in the rough. But don’t take my word for it, you can visit the 2 sites I found below. See what you think.

They do charge a minimal fee for access to their program, which is to be expected for any legitimate company that actually has people on staff who are dedicated to helping you get started. What a friendly group of people! Anyway, if you do decide you are interested in either of the two programs below, I advise you to join quickly, as the owners have informed me that they are getting so many new members by word of mouth referrals, that they will be closing off membership completely in the next 2 days. (By the way, you didn’t hear this from me!) They don’t have a large enough staff to accommodate many more people, and they are dedicated to providing excellent service to each person. Well, my search for legitimate Get Rich Quick programs has come to an end. I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly advise that you do not take chances joining any programs other than the two listed below! Whatever you do, I wish you a healthy, prosperous year for you & yours.

All the best.


Signed,
Darwin John

Now the ad above is an ad that would sell. I know for a fact because I used one just like it to make $50k/month on just ONE of my sites. And it uses all 5 of my aspects for a killer site that sells.

Hope – real everyday people like you and me are making good money from home.
Urgency – membership will be closed in 2 days.
Authority – I’ve been scammed before, and reviewed hundreds of these sites.
Unbiased – I’m just trying to help people make informed decisions.
Fear – Don’t risk joining any other programs, as 99% are scams.

Sales Letter

The following five strategies or writing sales letters, have been instrumental in all of my online success, whether I’m selling my own product or someone else’s as an affiliate.You are now about to learn the 5 aspects of every successful website I’ve ever created.

1. Create Hope

Thousands of people search every day for “hope”. That’s right, people buy money-making ebooks,diet ebooks, how-to-gamble ebooks, and many more based purely on hope. 99% of these people will not put these ebooks into action whatsoever. But they have it in their head that if they buy a certainebook, they will learn a secret that will change their life. And once they finish the book (if they even read it), they don’t put it into action because they ultimately find out it takes too much work. Then amonth later, they’re searching on the internet for the same thing – a magic formula for success in aparticular facet of life such as money, looks, health, etc. And they gobble up these ebooks like thereis no tomorrow.......at least the ones that have good ad copy. And the sellers of most of these ebooks rarely reveal anything you don’t already know. And they know it. But they offer their money back guarantees because they know that more than 75% of people will put the ebook on the back burner and forget to request a refund. So, invoking HOPE is the first of 5 aspects I ALWAYS utilize to make a killer website that sells. And you can give people hope in many ways, with many different products, but I find it most effective with informational products, because somehow you can get away with practically promising the world, and then under-delivering. You are basically telling people what they want to hear. However, hope can also apply to physical products, such as a credit card for example. “Get your xyz credit card today and re-build your credit quicker”. Or how about “Order the Pentium 4 xyz computer today and do things on a computer you’ve never dreamed of.” Of course, those sentences aren’t really convincing enough to make you get the credit card or computer, but hope itself doesn’t sell things. There are 3 more things to add to the puzzle.

2. Cause a Sense of Urgency

The second aspect of a killer site that sells is giving people a sense of URGENCY. I’m sure you’ve seenproducts for sale that say something like “order by midnight tonight and you will receive a $20 discount”.But I guarantee if you go back to that page the next day, it says the same thing. Buyers may even consider that, but do they really want to risk the $20 discount not being there the next day? Chances are, if it’s an impulse buy, they won’t want to risk waiting and possibly missing out on the deal. My advice is, instead of doing a “by midnight” html script that is easily spotted as a fake by most net savvy people, try making a real deadline of say the last day of the month or 2 weeks from now, and hardcode it into the site. After it passes, you can always make a new deadline. Another trick is to say only the next 100 members are being accepted, or something to that effect, and then have an image of 100 crossed out, and a number such as 82 next to it.

3. Appear as an Authority

The third aspect of a killer site that sells is to appear as an AUTHORITY. No matter what you are selling, you must appear to be an expert on the subject. As they say, appearances are everything. Why would I want to buy a gambling ebook from a guy that shows evidence that he won $200 at a card game one time? Big deal. You want the ebook from the guy that won $8 million at gambling. An advanced technique is to appear as an unbiased authority. If you can come across as someone who is trying to help, and doesn’t really benefit from a sale of the products listed on your site, you are another step ahead of the game. People love to follow the advice of independent reviewers who are just giving their “honest” opinion of a product. They don’t need to know you get a commission for the sale.

4. Appear Unbiased

The fourth aspect of a killer site that sells is to appear as an unbiased 3rd party. You can review products as if you are trying to help people make informed decisions without looking like you are affiliated with them.

5. Encourage Fear

The fifth aspect of a killer site that sells is causing FEAR. You can actually instill fear into your visitors, by making them believe that they will face problems ahead if they buy a similar product elsewhere, or if they don’t buy yours....NOW. How do you do this? How about this: “Get Rich Quick Scams Revealed......”. Then write an article about many occurrences of get rich quick fraud. But, don’t name names. Be general in what you call a scam, because you don’t want any legal trouble. Then, after your article, you could say that throughout your comprehensive research for the exposé article, you did come across a couple of money making programs that people were repeatedly happy with. You even spoke to the owners of the programs you recommend, etc. and found them to be very honest and straightforward, didn’t you? Well, you just set the hook, now time to push them to the sites you get the highest commission for.

Chapter 1: Creating an Affiliate Website that Sells like Crazy

A. Affiliate Networks

OK. I’m not going to “baby” you here, but I will cover a few basics first. So many “gurus” tell you to simply join affiliate programs, and you will be on your way to making a bundle of money. That couldn’t be further from the truth. If you have joined any before, you already know this. You will always be faced with the following questions:

_______________________________________________________________

What affiliate programs should you join?
How do you promote the programs?
How do you get quality traffic to your affiliate website?

Do you have an affiliate website that makes people want to buy anything? Well, finding the top affiliate programs is the easy part. While some companies have their own in-house affiliate program, others have theirs run by a major affiliate network.The top affiliate networks in my opinion are:

MUST JOIN

1) Click Bank - Dedicated to digital products, i.e. products that are available by download.

2) Commission Junction - The top affiliate network for companies that sell physical products likecomputers, credit cards, clothing, etc. Some of the biggest internet properties in the world have programs here.

3) Linkshare -Some of the top companies on the web have their programs available here.

MAYBE JOIN

4) Performics- Some decent, large brick & mortar companies here.
5) Web Sponsors - Another “boutique” network with a few decent programs such as “free giveaway”programs.

JOIN IF BORED

6) Clix Galore - Multi-tier affiliate network offering a decent variety.
7) Fine Clicks - A division of Shareasale.com
8) Fast Click - Small network that thoroughly screens merchants and affiliates for quality control.

Finding the top paying affiliate programs at Clickbank, CJ, etc. is easy. You can check their EPC (earning per click) and join those that convert the best. Clickbank calls this "gravity". I will say it Many times. I believe selling Information on the internet is the easiest way to get rich.

Once you have been to the affiliate networks mentioned above and decided which products you'd like to try selling as an affiliate, its time to write/create a sales letter that you will later plug into your website(creating your own website is discussed on our next chapters).
