When I saw "Free High Quality Reports", my first thought
was "Yeah, sure. Free AND High Quality!"

But I joined. Why not - it's free.

I joined with healthy skepticism. I am usually pretty critical
of the free content you find out there.

However, I soon found my skepticism melting away. In fact,
I was quite pleasantly surprised by what I found.

http://www.butterflyreports.com/axz/affiliate.php?id=6132

First, I have to say that this site is pretty ingenious when you
think about it. Branded, high quality reports you get to give
away - and make money from.

When I actually checkout out a few of the reports, I found
that they were much more than just "thrown together trash".
In fact, quite the opposite.

Along with the reports supplied by the staff writers of the
site, members can also contribute their own reports. As a
free member, you can contribute one of your original
reports every month.

After a while, once you have contributed a few reports, you
will see how viral this concept really is.

I've seen an increase in my traffic, as well as seen my own
credibility as an expert shoot through the roof.

My advice to you is simple. Join. Now. Why wouldn't you?

Michael Rasmussen's "Email Promos Exposed" Video Series: How to Write Killer Email Promos That Get Results!

by Mark Johnson

Have you ever been faced with the task of having
to write an email promotion to your list, and
then realized that you didn't know what to say or
how to say it?

Michael Rasmussen's new video course "Email
Promos Exposed" promises to solve that problem
for you by walking you through the actual process
of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

*************************************************

*************************************************

I decided to see if Michael's videos live up to
their promise by trying them out myself. Here's
what I found:

*************************************************
Overall Quality
*************************************************

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the
first video was the stunning production quality.
He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which
is now the industry standard for creating
high-quality screen capture video products. The
audio is near studio quality, and the graphics
are very professional. These videos were made by
someone who KNOWS what he's doing. Well done!

I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by
section, and then again by sub-section. For
example, one video is all about the subject line,
and then there are different parts of that video
that each cover a certain area of crafting a
killer subject line.

Now let's move onto...

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it's impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

*************************************************

*************************************************

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the whole
course. You get to see a picture of Michael in
his every day life, and he establishes his
credibility right up front by talking about some
of his massive successes online. He even provides
proof of credibility by displaying two checks in
the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove
that, when it comes to the subject of making
money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever
you're teaching people how to do something, it's
good to establish your credibility up front, so
that there's no doubt about whether or not you're
qualified to talk about the subject. Most product
developers either skip or minimize this step.

VIDEO 2 - BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other
marketer has bothered to mention. You'll learn
things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer
promo

* The different tools you need before you get
started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically
writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of
kicking things off.

VIDEO 3 - THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one
of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing
email promos... the subject line. The subject
line is a confusing topic, because nobody's 100%
sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line
that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of
the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this
video, but now I know better.

VIDEO 4 - THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when
writing their emails. Michael talks about how
important it is to create an opening that is
conversational, and then reveals techniques and
examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email
once they've opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few
paragraphs.

VIDEO 5 - THE BODY COPY

This is one of the "meatiest" portions of the
course, because it reveals techniques that are
not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in
most eBooks. He talks about the importance of
keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and
then reveals how you can do that. You'll also
learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people
curious and want to find out more.

* Simple formatting tricks for making your body
copy easy to read.

* The secret of "bucket brigade copy" and how to
use it in your email promos to force people to
keep reading.

VIDEO 6 - THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their
email promos. They start out strong, but when it
comes time to ask the reader to click the link
and take action, they don't know what to say.
Michael talks about some of his favorite
techniques for making that happen, and also
reveals:

* The "magic question" to ask yourself that will
make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the "unanswered question" and why
handling this is a surefire way to get people to
act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 - CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most
important parts of the email, because it is often
the one thing that gets people to click the link
at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of
your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.'s you can use
(this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 - COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some
mistakes that I was making that I wasn't even
aware of. Unless you're a seasoned pro, you're
probably guilty of some of the things that
Michael talks about in this video as well, and
that's why it's so valuable. I've shaved years
off my learning curve, because now I can avoid
some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to
make in the learning process.

VIDEO 9 - HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of
money. Why? Because I used to only send out one
email promo for each affiliate promotion I was
doing. Michael showed me in this video how
important it is to send a follow-up promotion,
and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered
things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo's.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make
the most money.

* How to overcome readers' objections in your
follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when
writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

VIDEO 10 - HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL
money is on the back end. I'd have to agree with
them, but the problem is... most people have no
idea how to set up a back end system that makes
money. This video will teach you how to set up an
automated back end that's loaded with killer
promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.
He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end
email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back
end email promos.

VIDEO 11 - CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the
entire package for a lot of people, because most
people email their list to promote other people's
products as an affiliate. Let's face it, if you
only have 3 products, can you really afford to
only email your list 3 times a year? They'll get
bored hearing about the same old products over
and over again. This video sheds some light on
how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael
reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different than
regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret
could cost you big money).

* Michael's favorite tactics for creating
affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your
affiliate promos (this is the most important
section of the video, so make sure you watch it
over and over again).

*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs
a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there
offer only watered down, weak content. Not this
one! These videos are going on my "A-list" for a
long time.

I've already watched them twice, and plan on
reviewing them every couple months to make sure
that I have the principals, techniques and
tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your
business (and in my opinion, it's the most
important part of ANY online business), then you
owe it to yourself to check out Michael's
exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

To Blog or Not to Blog

A couple of years ago, I tossed the idea around in my mind of creating a blog. But for some reason, I thought that people used blogs for hobby sites and such.

It took a while for me to realize that a well-built blog site can be beneficial to my affiliate marketing programs.

My blog is strictly dedicated to marketing internet tools, tips, and information. I try to keep it current by writing and posting relevant articles to share with others.

Also, reviewing free articles from other authors and publishing them in my blog gives me a chance to share diverse ideas and experiences. I don’t want my visitors to be stuck with just my opinions alone so I like to introduce other points of view as well.

Basic Traits of a Great Blog

1. A blog should be well organized.

2. A blog should be relevant to your affiliate marketing programs.

3. No crazy colors or fonts. Make it easy for the eyes to read.

4. Keep your blog up to date with interesting content.

5. Don’t overload it with banner ads. I use one banner at the bottom of the page.

6. Introduce a section for links to your affiliate programs.

7. Affiliate links should open in a new window so visitors can return easily.

8. See that your visitors have a way to leave comments or suggestions.

9. Create a link back to your business site.

Another important tip is to sign up with as many affiliate marketing forums as you can stand. Doing so will allow you network with other affiliates, exchange tools, tips and information.

More importantly, it gives you a chance to spread the word around about your blog and business site. You can do a Google or Yahoo search for forums that are relevant to your marketing niche

Having more eyes on your business site equals more traffic possibilities. Best of all…it’s FREE! Everybody loves free stuff. Free advertising is no exception.

Since you’re already reading this, I shouldn’t have to stress how advantageous writing relevant articles are and submitting them to article submission sites. Submitting articles gives you a chance to express your views, submit ideas and show your level of expertise about the subject matter.

It also gives you a chance to mention your blog or business site link in the author’s bio section just in case your readers want to check it out.

Again, it’s FREE! Everybody loves free stuff. Free site exposure is no exception.

My point is that blogs are not just for hobbies anymore. When properly used, it can be another low-cost avenue for your affiliate marketing regimen.

Have A Great Day.

Why Create an Online Ebook Store - by Mark Johnson

The internet gives us many avenues that we can take in order to generate income streams on the web. One of those avenues comes in the form of online stores.

There are many advantages of running an online store as opposed to running a brick and mortar type of establishment. We'll take a look at some of those in a moment.

I just decided on an online store just recently. I figured that instead of just creating one site for each digital product that I was selling, it might be cool to have at least one place for all my web promotions.

I decided to promote and sell eBooks on the web. Why not? There are a countless number of them on the web. This is a great opportunity to have an all inclusive product line to sell to end buyers.

I don't think I could see myself running a brick and mortar site for several reasons, but these are some of the reasons I think an online store is more advantageous for me (and maybe for you too).

Advantages of running an online store are:

1. No eBook inventory to worry about.

2. No employee base to maintain.

3. No warehouse rent or utility bills to pay each month.

4. There is limited personal buyer/seller contact during sales (except for the occasional emails or phone calls).

5. You can sell as many or as few products as you like.

6. You determine which products to sell and for how long.

7. You set your own personal operating hours.

8. Your online store runs all day and night 24/7.

9. You market the store under your own brand name.

10. You have the opportunity to create more income streams than before.

My online store affords me all these things even though marketing the store has just begun. I even incorporated an article into the home page to help with the search rankings.

It only took a little while to create. The hardest part was coming up with a name for it. I needed a name that was relevant to my digital products but businesslike. So, I decided to call it Rosemark Digital Marketplace.

Those of us who are involved in affiliate marketing or even have their own products to sell may want to consider this option (if you haven't done so already). Honestly, this is not a new idea but maybe one that some of us have been procrastinating about.

Personally, I think I should have done this a long time ago.

Have a Great Day!

How to Create Your Own Profitable Book---In One Hour!

by Joe Vitale and Jim Edwards

Many years ago I stunning blonde woman stopped me dead in my tracks at a trade show in Chicago for publishers. She thought I was a book reviewer, and she was dead set on getting all living book reviewers to see her client's new book.

I was next in line. I'm glad I didn't run. ;-)

As it turned out, her client had put together a collection of inspiring quotes. I don't recall his name or the book's title, but I do vividly remember that woman and what she told me.

"We've sold 100,000 copies of the book so far," she announced to me.

Now stop and think about this. What you are about to realize can help you become a profitable author in as little as one hour---or even less.

That woman's client was selling a book HE DIDN'T WRITE.

His book was a collection of quotes by other people. He may or may not have tossed a quote by himself in their, too. The point is, he put together an entire book by not writing a single word himself. And yet he not only is considered "the author" of the book, but his perky salesperson is out there selling it like it's the next Harry Potter!

I just looked on Amazon and there are 539 "quote" books listed. Pretty impressive for books that aren't so much written as they are collected.

The point here is that you can create your own profitable book in far less time than you think. You can write your own book in less than seven days. You write a short book in an afternoon. And you collect quotes on any theme you might imagine and have it done tonight.

What are you waiting for?

Protect Your Affiliate Links!! - by Mark Johnson

Remember when you discovered the possibility of making money promoting affiliate websites? Do you remember when you discovered that you could start by creating a ClickBank (or some other) account and selecting your first program or two to promote? I do. I also remember what it was like to see my own affiliate nickname on my first affiliate link. I put that link in my browser and viewed it as my link and life was good because that was my link.

Later on, I saw other affiliates online promoting the same program that I was promoting. I saw another person’s link in my browser and wondered “What would happen if I edited this link to look like mine?” So, I replaced the nickname (or affiliate id) with mine and suddenly that link became my link. Cool, huh? No! It took a while for me to realize that I was looking at a leaking pipe. If links could be changed this easily, commissions could be hijacked by simply editing the affiliate id. That was a problem!

The first possible solution for me was to change markets (maybe sell stuff on eBay or something). Then, I figured that if I had a leaking pipe, I’d better call a plumber. So, I did some research on the internet and came up with a solution that I’d like to share with anyone who may have the same concerns that I have about affiliate link security. I didn’t know anything about affiliate link cloaking or security until I began to search. But now I do.

There’s enough revenue out there for everyone. We should never have to resort to stealing from each other! Check out the Super Affiliate Link Manager. I’ve checked this out myself for practicality, sent and received quick email responses and even talked to the site owner on the phone. I just wanted to share the option with you. You decide!

Protect Your Commissions!!

Super Affiliate Link Manager – This actually works!

Have A Great Day.

Misadventures In Affiliate Marketing - by Mark Johnson

Having only been involved in affiliate marketing for a couple of years, I’ve spent my share of time researching potential programs that I may want to promote. I spent my money here and there on several advertising strategies such as pay-per-click, Yahoo and Google ads. All these things, however relevant they are to the total internet marketing picture, do not prepare you for the other side of your internet marketing experience.

After deciding which program to promote, I decided to announce my idea to family and friends. For the most part, many were telling me “That’s a great idea.” Then I realized later on that they were secretly thinking “You must be nuts!” So I wondered if anyone else has ever perceived this or am I the only one?

After shaking off the feeling that some of these people were not part of my faithful support system, I pushed on undaunted. I spent days tracking the results of my marketing efforts. All the while, my family would be looking over my shoulder wondering out loud “Where’s the money? Have you made any money yet?” They all want to see instant success in this business that requires patience and perseverance. Has anyone else been through this or am I the only one?

I read everything I could get my hands on about optimal search engine rankings, email advertising, and even how to write an article like this one in hopes of getting the most exposure to my website or affiliate program. Money started to roll in (actually more of a trickle). I felt instantly optimistic because I started to see a glimmer of light at the end of my marketing tunnel. While I was ready to celebrate my small victory, people close to me were not satisfied with my progress and begin to hint (sometimes argue) that I should stop even though it was clear that my efforts were showing some profit. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Has anyone else been through this or am I the only one?

What’s my point? My point is this. When I started this endeavor, I knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park (and I love the park). I realized that marketing was going to be a hit and miss situation. I knew I had to keep going in order to find what works best for me and my advertising niche…affiliate marketing. If you persevere, you too can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Never let anyone stop you from doing what works for you. Later on, the naysayer will come around to your way of thinking and may even apologize. Be true to yourself and success will come to you!

Here’s one of my most recent promotions:

What You Should Know About Starting Your New Website
By Theophilus Tures

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT STARTING A HOME INTERNET BUSINESS

There are currently millions of websites today promoting Home-based Internet businesses. This is kind of confusing to a lot of people, as many of these sites promise that you will start making money as soon as your site is set up and running. What they usually don’t say is that when you have a website, you need traffic, and a lot of traffic in order to make any sales and possibly get returning customers. I started my own website on 12/31/06 and I have learned a lot since then. I am writing this article for those who may want to start a home business. Here is what happened.

I paid for the website/Hosting on 12/31. My new website was up and running within 2 days. But I never had any visitors for about 15 days because my domain did not show up on google search engine yet. Additionally, I had a lot to learn from the training I received from the Web business I registered with. I am not complaining about it because I learned a lot. I was not some “Internet or computer geek you know”. Before that I used to go on the computer every evening to read e-mail and surf the Internet blindly. The reason I decided to do a search on home business ideas was because I had made an attempt to get a second job for about 9 months without success and I was also tired of the commute and the pressure from my primary job. Honestly, I hate being watched – what time I come in, how many breaks I take, and what time I leave. My monthly income (plus my wife’s) is just enough to pay for the mortgage and the bills. I was tired of it. So I took a dive. To cut the long story shot here is what any prospective/new Internet entrepreneur should know:

When you decide to set up a website, with whatever/whichever subscriber, it will take more than two weeks for your website to show up on google or yahoo. You have to personally submit your URL to these and many other websites before you can be seen on the Internet.
When your site finally appears on the scene, and before it appears, you should know that in order for your site to appear on the first page of the “first search page” you have to have what is called “links” in the web lingo. I learned that. There are several ways you can make sure about that. One of the ways is to make sure you register with a lot of directories. If you are not into directories, go into Articles, like I am doing now. At first I thought, me!!! Writing articles? But the last few months. I have learned a lot. This is not my last article. It is about my personal experience. I should finish about it. So I went to work on my links.
Working on the links takes patience. You have to be motivated. You don’t need quick cash the way some people say. Pick up some strategy, If you want to buy traffic from different companies that promise you will get 30,000 visitors per month, or companies that promise you to send 1,000,000 e-mails to “opt-in e-mail customers”. It is not enough. But don’t fall prey to these companies. There are natural ways to build links to your new website, like writing articles. Like this one – which is from personal experience. There is a lot of this I can say. But I want to save it for another time, because I am still learning. Keep watching.
One other thing. You can also build links by submitting directly to directories. If you need details, visit me at http://www.theophilustures.com/

Affiliate Marketing - The Basics by: Kathleen Gagne

Imagine that you could earn commissions on a popular brand-name product just by placing a link on your website or in your email. That, my friends, is "Affiliate Marketing"!
OK... So it's not quite that simple, but it doesn't have to be much more complicated either.

Let's start with a few definitions. An advertiser, or merchant, is the company who is selling a product. An affiliate, sometimes referred to as a publisher or partner, is another person or company who assists in the promotion of the product and earns a commission for doing so. (That could be you!) In between is the account management service that partners the advertisers with the affiliates and keeps track of the sales and commissions.

If you want to become an affiliate, you first need to choose either a product you want to sell, or an account management service. You will end up with both, but the choice of one will determine the choice for the other. If you choose the product first, the advertiser will direct you to the account management service that they already work with. If you choose the account management service first, they will provide you with a list of merchants that they do business with.

To see if your favorite product or company offers an affiliate program, go to their website and check the menu bar or the bottom of the screen. Look around for the word "affiliate". Click on that link, read about their program and requirements, and fill out their application. Some companies require specific types of websites to place their links on. They will email you all you need to know to get started.

If you don't know what specific product you would like to promote, or if you want to promote several, I recommend browsing the participating merchants on the account management service's website.

Try to stick to products or ideas that you are familiar with and passionate about. It will be much easier to market to your visitors if you can add value to the link you want them to click on. Personal recommendations or stories will get way better results than just a banner or solo text link. Give them a reason to "click here".

Welcome to the world of Affiliate Marketing! Good luck with your new venture!
