Internet Marketing Solution

Day Job Killer, the sequel to Affiliate Project X will be released on February 6th (Tuesday) at an undisclosed time. Both books are written by Chris McNeeney.

AffiliateProjectX caused shockwaves throughout the affiliate marketing community. It was #1 on Clickbank for weeks. Several months after its release it’s still in the top 10.

Without a doubt, it was one of my top purchases of 2006. I attribute a brand new $60,000 a year income stream to ProjectX entirely.

Chris revealed secrets no one else was willing to share. I can only imagine what DayJobKiller holds within its pages.

I usually don’t trust it when the mailing lists I’m subscribed to send out promotions. Obviously, the mailing list owners are going to promote most products, right? It’s in their pocketbook’s best interest.

It doesn’t help when you hear things like how each name on a list is worth about a $1 a month. And considering so much of what’s out there is just rehashed information … oftentimes the books I get aren’t worth my time reading them.

So when the emails started flooding in about this new “Affiliate Project X” book, I decided to turn to my little “sphere of internet marketing influence” for comments. It just takes me too long to read through everything out there and like you, my time is valuable.

What I got back was a little suprising. Especially for the new clickbank product of the week — at least that’s what I call it. I’ve been passing on them for virtually the entire summer.

But the handful of people I contacted about this book told me this one was for real. They were so sincere in fact that I bought it without even so much as glancing at the sales letter.

Now my business plan isn’t focused on affiliate marketing (I’m more of a product creator), but I decided to look into the ebook anyway.

After spending all day yesterday reading through it, I think I’m going to have to change my mind on affiliate marketing. I even went through it twice and have put together an “affiliate marketing plan of attack”.

The concepts in the book were truly eye-opening. Now even though I like creating products and only really dabble with affiliate marketing, I can see the power of these tactics. Imagine if you already know the next product you’re going to create is a winner, just by testing out how well similiar products like yours convert.

Affiliate Project X gives you that power. And I’m all for it.

I can only imagine if I got this much out of it, how much someone with more of an interest in affiliate marketing stands to gain.

To pull the curtain back a little, the author goes through 6 major methods in affiliate marketing. They include:

1. The Art of the Pre-Sell 2. The Affiliate Diary 3. The Workhorse Method 4. Thief in the Night:Stealing from the Super Affiliates 5. Copy the Best Part 2 6. The Opportunist

After reading the first method, I was truly sold on the ebook. And it only got better the more I read. This stuff is powerful … and then some!

Just so you know, I did purchase the author’s previous ebook, “Adwords Miracle” back in May. Chris really pulled off a great one with that one as well.

After digging out my adwords notes on Adwords Miracle (which I had kept guarded in my thin stack of important notes), I was able to put together a great plan of action for my affiliate marketing/adwords endeavors.

I’m calling it my secret blueprint for now (more on that another time).

At any rate, if you’re interested in learning from one of the best, I’d suggest you look into Chris’s “Affiliate Project X“. This guy is one to watch for sure.

I’m sure you know there are a ton of different rights products available. It’s a big thing on the internet marketing scene. People write up a report and then offer rights to it in exchange for a fee. You purchase the rights and it’s a shortcut to having your own product. These rights products come in real handy if you want to offer a back-end product to your list or to test the waters of a particular market.

But do you understand what you may do with each type of rights product? Keep in mind that the license agreement provided with your rights product is the ultimate guide. But for the most part, most of the internet marketing community adheres to the following guidelines:

Resell rights allow the purchaser to resell the product and keep the profits.

Master resell rights allow the purchaser to resell the product AND to resell the rights to the product. Of course, they may keep all the profits for themselves.

Private Label rights allow the purchaser to rebrand the product (i.e. give it a new name, add their name as author, create new packaging) and even make changes to the product (add in new chapters, customize it, etc) AND resell the product keeping all the profits.

Lastly, there are Master Private Label rights. These rights allow the purchaser to rebrand and make changes to the product. The purchaser may also resell the product AND the rights to resell the rights to the product.

If you’d like to find the best Resell Rights, Master Resell Rights, Private Label Rights, and Master Private Label Rights products on the web, then check out Infopublishing Secrets.

Links may count as much as 70% in Google’s algorithym (or more).

So which links count the most? Reciprocal linking is still worth your time, but it probably isn’t worth as much as a one-way link. You want to use reciprocal linking in your link campaign, but don’t only use reciprocal linking.

The idea is to not put all your eggs (or links in this case) in one basket. Spread them out. Don’t just just get reciprocal links and don’t just get links from directories.

Get links from all over. And make sure that all your links aren’t coming from one c-block.

Get one-way directory links (but don’t just stop there).

Make sure that you vary your anchor text. You don’t want the same anchor text in every one of your links or your linking campaign will not look natural.

You want a broad link campaign so that if the algorithm changes, your rankings won’t drop.

Sitewide links are probably not a good idea to implement unless there’s a good reason for linking from your site to another on every page. If you can get traffic from the link then it might be OK. You can get a penalty from sitewide links if you are doing it just for the PR boost (i.e. the sites have nothing to do with each other).

Optimize for on-page factors first. It is very easy to get to the top of MSN as they seem to give more relevance for on-page optimization. Once your site is optimized correctly on-page and ranks fairly high in MSN, then go after getting links.

Remember not to go after the most general key words in your anchor text. This is the biggest mistake I see so many doing. Go after some of the less competitive key phrases, for these, you may only need a handful of links to get to the top of the search engines.

Articles are a fantastic link resource. Not only do you get a little link on a site, you’ll get the whole page. You can get quite a bit of traffic to your site this way and build some links.

Let’s suppose for a minute that you’re hungry (maybe you are now that I’ve mentioned it?). You want something new and different to eat. So you connect to the internet and type in the word “recipes” at Google. Your search result will include millions of websites all related to recipes.

But let’s say you had a specific type of recipe in mind; maybe a dessert dish or a Mexican recipe. So you don’t want to search through all the random recipes you found using a vague search term like “recipes”. You want to narrow the playing field. So let’s get more specific. You now type in “Mexican dessert recipe” and the search engine finds far fewer possibilities. Now the results are geared more toward what you really wanted.

I’m sure you already realize all this, but let’s think about it for a minute from the stand point of your business. We already know that most people only look through the first few pages of any search result.

Realistically, that’s only about the first 30 listings per search. Therefore, you need to get listed on the first few pages of the results for keywords related to your site. How much harder do you think it would be to get listed in the top 10 for a search result of 10,000,000 (like recipes) than one with only 50,000 results (like Mexican dessert recipes)? You do the math! Based on that, which goal do you think is the most realistic to set?

One common misunderstanding with search engines and web site optimization is to try to be something for everyone. Many people think this will be the key to more sales. So they optimize their website for keywords that are most frequently searched. These are usually really general keywords that may be difficult to get a higher ranking for.

Alas, as you can see, this just doesn’t pan out on the internet. Broad sites tend to get lost in the shuffle.

If your site revolves around a general topic, it will be buried within the 10,000,000 other related sites.

No one will ever find it.

And no one will ever buy your product no matter how wonderful it is if they can’t find it.

Worse yet, the people searching using these really broad terms usually aren’t out to buy anything. Now this is just a generalization, but it tends to hold true. The more specific searchers tend to be the people looking for something specific to buy and the general searchers tend to be looking for info and nothing else. Remember, this isn’t always the case, but it seems to be a trend.

So rather than building a site revolving around general topics like “recipes”, “cooking” and “food”, you should build one around a tightly focused niche. The less competition, the easier it will be to find your site.

If you’re going to start podcasting, then you need to know what Podcatcher software (also called a podcasting client) is so you can tell your visitors about it (and you may find it a handy tool).

Basically, podcatcher software is an application that downloads and organizes podcasts.

This tool gets the audio file from the feed to your MP3 player virtually automatically. There is generally a url that corresponds to the RSS feed you’re interested in. You copy and paste this url in your podcatcher. From there, the podcatcher updates the feed file every time a new podcast file is available for download.

A podcatcher is a media aggregator. It allows you to select and download audio (and video) files anywhere on the internet to your desktop. Once you select a feed (like yoursite.com….) it will download new files automatically at the times you specify. The files will be waiting for you on your computer. They will be added to your library.

The podcatcher software only downloads new files added to the feeds. When it gets a new podcast file, it puts it in a directory on your computer. You then copy these over to your MP3 player (you can even have it set up to do this completely automatically while your recharging it). No waiting for downloads. No manually selecting the feeds. The podcasts will all be ready for you to play when you want to hear them. You use a player (like iTunes or Quicktime) or load them to your iPod to play whenever you want.

I’m sure you’re starting to see how convenient this is for clients (and for you). That’s why the podcast phenomenon is only just beginning.

RSS stands for really simple syndication. It’s a format for syndicating your web content.

You probably already know this, but let me explain it as precisely as possible. Syndication is when a section of a website is made available for other sites to use. If you choose to syndicate your content, you make part of your website content available. Other sites can display updating lists of content from them.

This is all accomplished by subscribing to a feed.

Once the content is in an RSS format, a special RSS updater program can check for changes. These RSS updater programs are commonly called news aggregators.

RSS is used for syndicating news and even personal weblogs.

Let’s say you like to read CNN news, some industry specific news and a couple of your favorite blogs every morning. Instead of visiting each site separately, you just add the feed from the site to your aggregator and you get all the information in one convenient package delivered right to you.

Usually the headline and a brief description are syndicated. For the full story, you normally click on the headline in your feed.

The news aggregator usually presents the articles in a list format. One line or two (or whatever the author has agreed to be syndicated) is shown from each article with a link back to the full story.

The aggregator tracks updates for you.

So by allowing other sites on the internet access to your headlines and a brief description of your posts (or articles - whichever you prefer to call them), your RSS feed can be distributed on 1,000’s or more sites. This is possible just by having your RSS feed available. Keep in mind, all the sites displaying your RSS feed will have a link back to your site. This way, you can get tons of traffic to you by just making some of your content available.

Talk about exposure!

A blog, or weblog is a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.

But more than that, it can provide you with maximum exposure for your creativity. All it takes is to hit the ‘post’ or ‘publish’ button and your writing is now out there for the world to see!

Blogs are everywhere on the internet today. Their ease of use and global reach have been a big reason for their popularity.

Blogger.com and WordPress are free as are many other blog tools.

There is no delay for the printing presses to roll it out, it’s published. And there’s another reason for their popularity with internet marketers as well…

Social Proof The fact that people post comments on your blog is social proof at work. This is very important for the marketer. It only helps your business when others know that your product or service is popular.

Here’s an example. If you go to a restaurant on a Friday night and no one is there, are you going to wonder about the food or the service? I’m betting that you will. But if you go to a busy restaurant, where you have to wait, you will think to yourself “it must be good if everyone is willing to wait”.

This is social proof at work.

When you visit a regular site, you have no real way of knowing if anyone else visits it. Techniques like putting up testimonials, showing a hit counter, etc… will help put your mind at ease that you’re not the only one considering what the site has to say. Having links on other sites also helps because people start feeling confident that your site is popular.

Blogs have a social proof feature built right into them….

The comments.

If others are interested in what you post and even comment on it then that shows that you have a sort of community. You want this. Never disable the comments on your blog. You can of course read them first and delete those that are spam, but the comments are crucial.

It shows that someone read actually reads your blog and feels strongly enough about it that they wanted to make a comment.

First of all let’s get at the heart of what multimedia really is. Here’s a standard definition:

Multimedia is the art of combining text, graphics, audio and/or video to create a vivid presentation and compelling experience.

If may sound a bit complicated, but all you need is your imagination, a little know how, a few tools, and you can be on your way to creating multimedia presentations. You can do this without high-end equipment, models and voice professionals.

Why use it?

Multimedia can be used effectively as a creative marketing strategy. People are sensory creatures. A simple yet effective audio or visual message will help you create a better connection with your prospects.

You see, you’re not hiding behind the printed word. You’re exposed and out in the open. This connection can lead to an increase in your sales conversion rate. That means more money for you.

It’s a proven fact that people are more likely to remember what they both read and hear. Therefore, an audio or video clip promoted along with your copy will really help deliver a powerful message.

You can also use a multimedia marketing campaign to help increase your conversion rate for any affiliate products you offer (or should be offering) as a back-end to your clients. Virtually no one records a multimedia message for affiliate products. No one wants to work that hard!

Imagine what could happen if you give it a try?
