30 Day Internet Marketing Affiliate Formula

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Anyone in internet marketing today will tell you that the king of list building is Tellman Knudson. He makes several Million Dollars each year and has affiliate marketers for his products that makes thousands every month letting people know about his training programs.

Tellman is one of those affiliate marketing gurus that has his on twist to things but stresses the basics in all that you do. He also stresses action, action and more action to make money.

When you decide to get serious with your internet marketing and specially with building your list then he is one of the top trainers on the internet.

He sent me an email today to have a look at a video he had just done. The video came about from questions he was getting from his affiliates. In this video he showed one of his squeeze pages that was getting a very good opt in rate.

I was really surprised when the squeeze page turned out to be a Marketing Makeover Generator page. I did not know that a successful list builder like Tellman used a squeeze page service.

For whatever reason I have always associated squeeze page generators like Marketing Makeover Generator and Squeezepage Pro as something to help people new to affiliate marketing get started building their list.

Boy was I wrong.

I have used both Marketing Makeover Generator and Squeezepage Pro and found both easy to use and very helpful in creating effictive squeeze pages. I also have and do recommend both to anyone interested in affiliate marketing or list building.

The bottom line is that if squeeze page generators are being used by the gurus in internet marketing because they are effective and easy to set up, then everyone in internet marketing should be using them.

PS. Let me know what you think about using squeeze page generators. Also leave comments on which you think is best.

Now that you have chosen your Blog platform, it is time to decide what you are going to put on the blog that will give value to others.

I personally enjoy the self improvement industry and passing on knowledge to new affiliate marketers about how to do things through my blog. Since you are reading this you most likely have read some of my other post and know I want to help those new to Internet and Affiliate Marketing get past some of the hurdles that have got in my way.

I also give opinions about products I use and those that I believe will help my readers get the best value from where they are now. The thing you have to understand here is that the best program in the world is of no use to you if you don’t have the basic knowledge to implement it and take action on that knowledge.

You probably have guessed that I would recommend you do something similar.

To have good content on your blog you do not have to be a great writer. All you have to do is communicate with people through your blog about what you like, dislike and what you use or do. Communicate like you would if you were talking to a friend.

Would you recommend something to a friend that you didn’t believe would be of value to them?

I didn’t think you would. Now just think of everyone that reads your blog as a friend.

Content on your blog is just the start of having a good blog. All the content in the world is no good without the following:

   1. Your blog designed to appeal to and make it easy for your readers to read it.

2. Your blog setup to generate traffic each time you post.

3. You blog setup to allow your readers to subscribe to your RSS feed and your email.

The first is being addressed with post in the Website Conversion category. The second and third are much more simplified by getting a Blog i360 site where you don’t have to worry about the little (most important) things.

Since you have been following along with me you have the basics you need to start building your Internet Marketing Business. That means it is time to start getting traffic to your squeeze page so you can start building your list.

There are a lot of ways to get traffic. If you are in a great hurry you can start an adwords campaign on google. Since you are new to Affiliate marketing I would suggest More…that you first concentrate on the free traffic methods first.

Please understand when I say free, I am talking about those methods that you can put to work for you, that do not cost you money. These methods do however cost you time. The amount of time is based on how good you are at each and how much time you have available to spend on the task.

The very first method I recommend is [Read more →]

Now that you have the basics you need to start setting up your small Internet marketing business it’s time to start getting traffic to your squeeze page so you can start building your list and making some profit.

How do I get Traffic?

There are a lot of ways to get traffic. If you are in a great hurry you can start an adwords campaign on google. Since you are just getting started with your small Internet marketing business I would suggest didn’t. My first suggestion for an Internet marketing strategy is for you to initially concentrate on the free methods of traffic generations first.

Please understand when I say use this free Internet marketing strategy, I am talking about those methods that you can put to work for you that do not cost you money. As a small Internet marketing business I realize how little actual money most people have to spend when they first start up.

What Do FREE Internet Marketing Strategies Cost Me? 

Though using free Internet marketing strategies you have to realize they are not truly free. These methods do cost you time and when first starting out they eat up a lot of your time. The amount of time is based on how good you are at each and how much time you have available to spend on the task.

What Free Internet Marketing Strategy Should I Start With? 

The very first Internet marketing strategy I recommend is a blog. This may seem a little daunting to you to begin with but in truth it really isn’t. Blogging is like talking except no one is answering as you are writing. Hopefully they are answering with comments on your blog.

What Blog Platform Should I Use? 

Before I get into the actual mechanics of blogging lets talk about the platform you will be using. If you have your own hosting at Host Gator as I recommended in the other posts then you have access to Fantastico, which is in your cPanel area.

From Fantastico you can simply click on wordpress blog and it will install the basic wordpress blog for you. Please understand that you will have to select and install all of the plugins that make wordpress the web 2.0 machine it can be.

I do that on this blog but I also maintain another blog. My other blog “http://simgarner.com/blog” is hosted on an i360 blog.  On my i360 blog everything is setup and maintained for me. If I have a problen I send in a support ticket and it is handled. That is a lot nicer than having to do it myself.

A i360 blog is a standard wordpress blog on steroids. It has all the built in features that are needed to start drawing traffic to your site immediately. Also if you have an i360 blog you can do without other hosting for the time being because it is built on a cPanel platform and will allow you to have redirects. Sales pages, one time offers and much more.

You could actually use your blog i360 site for everything. I suggest you take them up on their 30 day $1 trial and experience it for yourself. Once you get into using it you will not change.

Are Free Blogs  as Good As Having My Own Blog?

Another option is to use one of the free blogging platforms. Wordpress.com, thejv.press.com and blogger.com just to name a few.

These are all good sites and will bring you traffic. My recommendation from the top down  is blogger i360, next would be your own wordpress blog on your hosting and third would be a free site and at the moment I think Blogger.com takes it in the free blogs.

You just do not have the flexibility with a site controlled by someone else. You do have more control at some of the free blogging sites than others but just remember, the free sites are only free because they make money off of the traffic you bring to them.

In my next post I will get into posting and other parts of blogging for traffic to create profit for your small Internet marketing business.

PS. Leave comments on your thoughts about the blogging platform you use and how well it is working for you.

Believe it or not but the first Internet or Affiliate Marketing tool you need is about as worthless as tits on a boor hog without the second Internet Marketing Tool. In fact you could call the second tool a program as much as a tool.

If you have been even thinking about setting up an Affiliate Marketing niche program lately you have to have heard about it. People have found out just how many affiliate marketers were not using it and have been blasting that information all over the web. It is not even called an affiliate or Internet Marketing tip any more. The latest information blast says that over 88% of those starting a new Affiliate Marketing niche program don’t have one.

The funny thing here is that those successful in affiliate niche marketing don’t have just one. They have dozens or in some cases even as many as a hundred.

What is this elusive tool?

Lo and behold, we are talking about something you have probably been on several [Read more →]

Well, we have selected our niche, found products we like, bought and used the product, wrote a report on the benefits of the product for a give away, and have several emails ready for our auto-responder.

What next?

The first tool you have to get is an auto-responder. Without an auto-responder all the hard work and time you have put into creating your free report and email sequence goes down the drain.

The question is which [Read more →]
