Working With Affiliate Programs

Everywhere you look you see affiliate program offers for
every product or service that you can think of. Some have
fully automated systems that sell high volumes of hard
products all over the world. In case you don’t know, “hard”
products are those that you can touch…unlike an ebook or
downloadable web template. Many affiliate programs have
several thousand affiliates and one or two of the bigger
companies have over one million affiliates.

What are the advantages of joining an affiliate program?

They provide a ready-made business. This is a very big plus
for those people who want to earn some kind of living off
the Internet but lack the knowledge or inclination to set up
a business by themselves.

Commissions and rewards are generally good, and the more
established programs offer a real chance of advancement to
higher and better-paid levels.

Other affiliates are usually on hand to offer practical
support.

What are the limitations?

You are restricted in your promotional activities due to the
fact that you do not actually own the affiliate site they
give you. You won’t be able to put such things as banners,
images, links, meta tags, etc. onto your page.
The URL of your affiliate page is often either too long or
contains such awkward things as question marks, which many
Search Engines will not index.

Any promotional ads or articles have probably already been
used by thousands of other people and consequently may have
lost its impact, making it more difficult to achieve sales
or referrals.

If the program you have joined has not yet established
itself (or in some cases even if it has), then you may
encounter problems with payments owed to you not being
honored. You also run the risk of low quality products or
sub-standard statistics that do not accurately record how
many referrals or sales you have made.

You may be required to purchase a minimum quantity of the
product on a regular basis before you start to qualify for
commissions or even before you can become an affiliate.
You may not get the technical or affiliate support you might
expect from the company. This may be due to inadequate
staffing, or the company’s negligence.

Other people in your downline do nothing to promote the
program.

At least four of the above limitations can be overcome with
a little time and effort. You could, for example, come up
with fresher ads to promote the program (provided this is
allowed).

If the company supplies the email addresses of people in
your downline, then you could offer to help the less active
members. Very often these people are passive not because
they are lazy or apathetic but merely because they don’t
know HOW to promote effectively! your guidance could mean
the difference between no sales or referrals and healthy
downlines and residual incomes.

As regards promoting your actual page, here are a couple of
little tricks that should overcome a number of
restrictions:

Cloak your Affiliate URL to stop hijackers Affiliate Masker
While this will not help you to get listed on the major
Search Engines, it will make your web page easier for
prospects to remember and type into their browser’s address
bar.

Go to your affiliate page. Place your mouse pointer anywhere
on the page and right click once. In the drop-down box
choose “View Source”. This will display the HTML for the
page. Save this to your hard drive as a HTML document using
the “Save As” function. Upload the page to your web site.
If you don’t have a web site then get some free web space
from one of these:

http://www.tripod.com/
http://www.fortunecity.com/
http://www.hypermart.net/index.gsp
http://www.coolchat.com/
http://www.crosswinds.net/
http://www.htmlpublishing.com/
http://www.freehomepages.com/
http://www.pageproducer.com/

Submit your ‘new’ page to the Search Engines. You are also
now able to place banner codes, links, images, testimonials,
in fact anything you want onto these pages, because you are
in control of the HTML. A word of caution, though. Don’t
change the actual HTML of your original affiliate page. Just
put the other stuff, like banners etc, around it.

Making this “mirror page” of your affiliate page will
dramatically improve your advertising options.

Myspace Promotion

Making a myspace profile for your band, company or organisation will gain you useful and effective free advertisement. The aim is to build up direct contact with your target group. A community where your fans or costumers will hang out, ask you questions, talk to you and be easy to reach.

To start off, you need to create a profile on myspace. Make sure that you register with the display name of your authority and leave the First Name and Last Name fields alone. Registering with an email that you don’t own will save your email accounts from a lot of irritating emails that myspace sends out every hour each day.

When you have registered, it’s time to chose an url address for your account. The url will be www.myspace.com/(your url name). If your url is already taken by somebody else, you can contact that person by going to his account add him/her as a friend and then email him about an account exchange. Tell the person that you need the account more than him/her and alternatively suggest that you can exchange it for some money. If you don’t succeed with the contact, you can register the authority name plus one, two or three extra chars such as kentucky_, kentucky2 or kentucky_68. Make sure that the keyword stays in the name, because it’s good for SEO.

After making the url name, you may pimp up your profile. Start with getting a good layout that you can use for backgrounds. You can find such on the myspace backgrounds site. You also need to add a description that should at least cover one page. Add images, music, glitter, videos to it, so it gets interesting to read. Since it’s on myspace, you should better write simple, so the average myspace user can understand. Write about what the organisation do, links to cool stuff and such. When you are happy with it, it’s time to move to the next step.

Add friends and lots of them, but concentrate on your target group. If the profile is for promoting a clothes design company, you can make a query to google like this: site:profile.myspace.com design clothes pattern

Make sure you don’t add too much friends per day or your account will be banned. The limit of today is currently 500 friends a day but it may as well change in the future. So be on your watch.

Adding friends is great, now you will slowly get a reachable community. From it, you can promote your organisation/band or company buy sending out bulletins. Just make sure you don’t send too much, because then you will get a bad reputation. One bulletin each day is enough for most of us. Make every bulletin unique and as interesting as possible.

Other then sending out bulletins, you can also respond to your visitors comments, sending out happy birthday comments and starting myspace groups. The possibilities are endless.

Home And Internet Marketing – The Tip-Over Point

 free  Comments Off on Home And Internet Marketing – The Tip-Over Point
Jul 032020
 

People in network marketing and internet marketing are always looking for the tip-over point.


The tip-over point is hard to pinpoint, but its effect can be awesome and hard to miss.


Let’s say you have signed up with a new internet business opportunity. You have your website, and you have done all the promotional stuff…search engine optimization, built an opt-in mailing list, post on forums, write articles…the whole nine yards. Then you wait. Maybe an order or two trickles in, but after a while, that dries up, if it ever happens at all.


So, you try a couple of new tactics, redesign the page, join a couple more forums, try some free classified advertising and sit back again. Same thing.


Now, at this point, 99.99999% of new internet marketers or network marketers are going to throw in the towel and start telling anybody they meet that internet marketing and/or network marketing is a scam…a rip-off!


Here’s a fact for you. It is going to take time to make your home or internet business successful. Even if you are doing all the right things, success will probably not come to you overnight. Even if you DO the right things, you are more likely to be successful if you KEEP doing them!


It’s sort of like pushing a rock up a hill. You pushed it, you moved it, and the place you are trying to get to with the rock is closer, but you aren’t there yet. As you continue to push, you may hit rough spots or slick spots, and even slide back down the hill from time to time, but if you keep on pushing, you will eventually reach a spot where things change.


With pushing a rock up a hill, it’s the crest of the hill. You just keep doing what you’ve been doing, and the rock will reach the crest of the hill. Depending on the slope of the downhill side, and the speed with which you were pushing when you hit the top, and the snags that might get in the way, you will find pushing the rock just got easier, and you might not even be able to catch up with it at all.


There’s a spot in internet and network marketing that is similar. You’ve been placing the advertisements, writing the articles, visiting the forums with little or no signs of success. Then, one day, you find that you’ve made a sale. The next one might be a day or a week away, but you keep doing what you’ve been doing and they get closer together…maybe even several in the same day.


You have finally reached the tip-over point. That’s the point in which all that you have done has pushed your home or internet business onto a plane where it almost seems like it has a life of its own. However, if you quit doing what you’ve been doing, things might slow down or come back to a stop.


People in multi-level marketing (MLM) sometimes get to really see the tip-over in a way that non-MLM people seldom do. I’ve had friends in multi-level marketing who spent all their time trying to sell product and just recruited the occasional new down line member. As commonly happens, most of these people fall by the wayside and never really produce anything. However, if enough people have been added to the down line, it is likely that some quality producers will emerge. When enough of these people have been added and they have gotten their collective feet on the ground, they can make a network marketing, or internet marketing, business grow by leaps and bounds.


I often mention my two friends who became millionaires in two different network marketing programs. Neither made tons of money from their own sales. Both took between three and four years to hit their tip-over point. When it arrived however; when they had enough people in their down lines that were producing income and building THEIR down lines, that’s when my friends saw their checks skyrocket. One month, one was showing me a check for over $25,000.00. Two months later, he got one for over $50,000.00. A few months after that, he was making over $100,000.00 a month!

Home Based Business – Offline Marketing Strategies

 free  Comments Off on Home Based Business – Offline Marketing Strategies
Jul 022020
 

The Internet has become the largest medium of communication; and has presented a lot of business opportunities. Online home based business owners tend to limit themselves to online marketing methods. Nevertheless, there is a huge potential to promote your home based business through some cost effective offline marketing strategies. So what are the most effective offline marketing strategies for your home based business?

1. Word of mouth in your circle of influence
Word of mouth is one of the best free advertising channels. We all have people we interact with on a daily basis, and these are potential customers. Make a list of all the people you know or interact with and how can you best tell them about your internet business. Be passionate about your internet business and always be prepared to tell someone about it when an opportunity to do so presents itself!

2. Mail-out newsletters and flyers
Mail-out newsletter or flyers can be effective if you target it to a specific ‘group’. You could create one to distribute to local day care centers just as an example – and in your newsletter or flyer, highlight the benefits of an online business to the targeted group, for example earning money at home for stay at home moms or dads. Posting your home based business URL on bulletin boards can also be effective.

3. Use and give away free branded ‘stuff’
You can promote your business by having your URL on all your stationery, all written communication and other items you can give away for free. If you want to get a lot of people to know about your home based business, you will need to come up with some creative ways of promoting your URL. You can be limited only by your imagination. Have your business cards with your home based business URL. Give them out to people you meet, leave them about where you can, such as in your local coffee shop.

4. Newspapers and magazines
Local newspapers are good for advertising your online business. Most local papers have ‘home business opportunities’ section, so you run a regular classified advert. In addition, contact your local newspaper or business-oriented magazine and let the business editor know you have a new business and web site and what you offer. Local newspapers are frequently interested in featuring local business people and their accomplishments. This is free advertising and should always be used. You can also contact your local magazine and offer to write a monthly or weekly guest column for them, and include your ‘author bio’ and home based business URL.

5. Joint ventures with offline business
You can get into a joint venture partnership with an offline business which sells a complementary product or service to your home based business. If you can identify a partner that best fit your business, this is an important offline marketing strategy that can help you succeed in your home based business by enabling you to reach potential customers that you could not reach before. As an example, if you have a website selling fitness/health products or tips, you could prepare a leaflet and make a deal with an offline local fitness/health shop where they giveaway your leaflet to their shoppers with each purchase.

The offline marketing strategies outlined above can help you grow your home based business. I have used these strategies alot and they work well. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and promote your business offline!!

Writing E-Books For Profit

Have you ever wondered what it takes to write an e-book? Did you ever wonder if writing one could be used to promote a new business venture? What, you do not know what an e-book is. Don’t worry, many others have no idea what I am talking about either. An e-book is basically what one would image it is if they had to guess, its an electronic book. E-bookse-book can be created with little cost and can be published and distributed with little cost as well. You can write an e-book on any topic you choose, preferably one that many people are interested in and will read. Once you have your e-book it is then possible to use it to promote products or business ventures. You do this by including links within your e-book that relate to your topic. These links can be product pages, affiliate links, or your company home page. If you are clever enough you can weave these links into the “story” without the reader even realizing about these side motives. There are over one billion global Internet users. Having yourself noticed in that sea of prospects is what every business owner is striving for.

There are countless topics on the Internet that people are looking for on a daily basis. Medical advice, educational information, and financial services are only a few of areas people look for. What all these topics have in common are that they are information. And no matter what anyone says the hottest product on the net is Information. Once the initial cost of producing the e-book is over you only have to advertise it. This can cost as much or as little as you want. You can sign up at an affiliate site like Clickbank, have your e-book approved, and then have the thousands of internet marketers out there promote it for you FREE. All you do is offer them a cut in the profit. You set this profit margin. If you want to dole out 25% of the gross sale you can. If you want to offer 75% you can do that also. The higher the incentive the more marketers you will get to promote for you. If your e-book provides useful information that everyone wants you should have no trouble converting it into sales. People are always looking for good content. If your book is useful it will eventually spread via word of mouth. This is often the most powerful form of advertising on the net.

An e-book can be much more productive in it’s presentation by allowing for streaming video and audio codes. This will heighten the overall effect of the book and produce more sales. With more and more people turning to high speed or cable internet connections streaming video will only increase in use. Don’t be afraid to be creative with your e-book. Don’t over do it with “gadget” type stuff, but do add the extras when it’s appropriate.

It would be a very good idea for you to use this sort of streaming video in an e-book. Buy chaining this video on an e-book to a contact email list, you can then go back later and do follow-ups on the people that have viewed the book and its video. One the strongest aspects of an e-book is the easy to use chapter previews, this is an extremely powerful tool in the marketing strategy. It will allow for a simple viewing or the full-fledged read for the newbie. This also allows people to view small segments of the book, and then if they desire they can download the rest at a cost. This is known as unlockable content.

If people can be convinced that the service is valuable by reading some of the e-book, you can be sure that you will have gained their attention and possibly a sale.

Business Merchant Account – Get One

Business merchant accounts are critical to have if you want to accept credit cards. Business merchant accounts are not limited to those computer consultants reselling products either. They are a good idea for any sale, especially when you are selling to new clients.

If you have a business merchant account you will not have to chase down outstanding debt. The cost is not that high and you don’t have to buy traditional credit card processing equipment. Now they have what is called a lab terminal, which allows you to use your web browser to manage the transactions. The systems are completely secure and most business merchant account providers team up with larger companies that offer great advantages.

Costco’s Business Merchant Account
One of the biggest secrets we learned about business merchant accounts is that Costco provides a fantastic deal on credit card processing through Nova Systems. It’s such a great deal it can actually pay for your entire Costco membership. Here are some particulars:
All of the monthly statement and gateway fees are waived – savings of $25 – $50 per month
Very competitive discount rates on Visa and MasterCard.
You can add on processing for American Express and Discover – you will find that even though American Express transaction fees are higher, it is a very popular card with small businesses.
The charges billed are transferred quickly and directly into your business bank account – this is a lot faster than doing your billing or invoicing once a week or so.

Paypal

Paypal is a popular alternative to traditional business merchant accounts. Paypal is very easy to set up and the set up is free. There are restrictions though on what you can do and how you can withdraw your money. The largest drawback is the negative connotation of being an ebay related service where people sell garage sale stuff as a hobby.

The Bottom Line on Business Merchant Accounts

Business merchant accounts will help you get paid faster. There are fees involved but the customer convenience and no hassle approach to receiving your money make it worthwhile. There are different business merchant accounts available so do your homework and choose the one that makes the best sense for you.

Raising Bilingual Children: 10 Tips for Boosting the Minority Language

 free  Comments Off on Raising Bilingual Children: 10 Tips for Boosting the Minority Language
Jun 292020
 

Your toddler may think that he or she’s a complete superhero — and when it comes to language acquisition, it’s actually true! In particular, compared to adult language learners. Lena Sandvik in Boston says “I’m amazed that my 15 and 11 year olds have grown up to be completely bilingual. My accent and those silly, grammatical errors still haven’t disappeared, even after 15 years in the country.” As easy as acquiring multiple languages is for small children, the single most important factor in language learning is the quantity of spoken language addressed to the child. So, if you worry that you aren’t providing enough, here are a few tricks to boost your superhero’s inherent powers.

1. Other kids: Join (or start) a playgroup for the second language. Children of all ages will learn from each other; there simply are no better language teachers than other kids. An added bonus will be that you will connect with other parents of bilingual children.

2. Books: Of course you know how vital those precious one-on-one moments are, but remember that they can be infused with language learning also. Books are the most effective tool for teaching language, and so I advise all parents: “Start reading at birth and never stop!” A good way to add to reading time (and make it really personal) is to create a dialogue, encouraging your child’s comments, responses, and elaborations. Talk about what the characters are like and what they might be doing next.

3. The right stuff: From books, add video, television and games. There are a multitude of aides towards fluency. In particular, games that use rhyming will make the most of language memory, but “I Spy”, “Bingo” and “Memory” with picture cards will also playfully build vocabulary.

4. Sing and dance: Children absolutely love music, but don’t rely solely on recorded music; your own singing, even if it is off-key, will still serve to unite melody and words for your child more surely than any professional recording ever could. Melody is also a fantastic memory aid. Think about how much easier children learn their ABCs when they sing them, compared to just reciting them. And, the combination of music with movement and gestures will enliven it all — as well as provide a nice outlet for squirmy toddlers.

5. Tap into their interests: Whatever your child’s enthusiasms may be — whether a love of soccer, dance, or horses — make an effort to ‘involve’ these passions in the minority language. “My 3-year old son is a really big “Bob de Bouwer” (Bob the Builder) fan,” says Martijn Fredriks. “So now we always watch it in Dutch, and he’s even started speaking in Dutch when he plays with the Bob the Builder toys.”

6. Be creative: The trick is to give the child lots to talk about, so draw out that conversation! Encourage them to make up their own stories, play dress-up and pretend in the second language. Even painting, working with sidewalk chalk, or molding clay usually creates more vocabulary than art! Older children may enjoy calling or using a webcam for calls overseas (one such free service is Skype).

7. Outside the box: Isabella Vellaccio, a mother in Washington DC, who reached beyond the obvious says, “I wanted my son to hear Italian from someone else than just me, and the playgroups were all during my working hours.” Isabella decided to attend the church coffee after the Italian mass on Sundays. “The older Italian parishioners were thrilled to see him learn Italian.” Needless to say, with that much attention, and Italian cookies, he loved it.”

8. Baby sitter: Find a college student who speaks the language, or for something more consistent, try a nanny or an au-pair.

9. Visits: The ultimate language boost is to visit the country where it is spoken. Total immersion for a couple of weeks has an amazing effect. And visits from friends or family also provide a valuable boost.

10. Enthusiasm: While the quantity of spoken language is the most important factor in learning a language, the second most vital ingredient is the amount of positive feedback the child hears. Early on, when a child is struggling to get those first syllables out, resist the urge to correct…it can actually inhibit language skills.

There is a myriad of ways to ensure that foreign language time is “quality time,” but like any other aspect of parenting: trust your judgment, employ your imagination, and listen very, very well.

Things The Daters And Singles Of Houston Do

Dating and singles in Houston, Texas are words matched in heaven. With active dating hot spots and equally active, gorgeous singles, Houston, Texas is indeed the place for love (lust?). Be reminded though that dating on an empty stomach is extremely dangerous. But don’t worry, Houston has the best places for all daters and singles out there. So grab a cowboy and enjoy a Houston night.

Rioja has always been the top choice for the dating and singles in Houston, Texas. After all, nothing is more romantic than a Spanish meal complete with paella and tapas washed down with fine – grade red wine. Plus, Rioja gives off a casual yet elegant vibe for a romantic and relaxed atmosphere. However, if you and your date are not one of those dinner and talk types, you can strut your stuff at Sambuca. This top Houston bar offers sleek dining and good music. Six Degree Lounge is the place to see and be seen. What’s more, you’re sure to meet someone here if you’re single or if your date becomes unbearable. Another place where the dating and singles in Houston, Texas troop to is Ibiza, a Mediterranean-inspired resto and bar.

To balance out the guilt from eating all that delicious food, the dating and singles in Houston, Texas can take walks in parks like the Buffalo Bayou and Hermann Park. Another option is to cheer all those calories out by watching a football or hockey game. Dragstrip and racing during week nights is what the Raceway Park is about. To cap off a truly romantic evening, the Equestrian Center has horses for public riding. Not the active type? For an artsy vibe, try Menil Collection and Rothko’s. Make your date a learning experience while looking at exceptional artworks. You could always visit the Alley, Ensemble or Main Street for theater. The UH Theater usually produces fine-calibre shows. Don’t worry that these artsy experiences would cost you a fortune. These have affordable rates or if you’re lucky, they have free admission promos.

If you and you’re date are more pop art, do as others of the dating and singles in Houston, Texas do. Tour Battleship Texas, a restored War ship (it was on WWI and WWII), or join an industrial tour to Budweiser and Imperial Sugar. You get to see and learn a lot; also you get the chance to gauge your date’s IQ factor. Surely, you don’t want to be stuck with a dumb date. With these extensive list of activities, it’s no wonder the dating and singles scene in Houston, Texas is always active.
