Great Questions Regarding Affiliate Marketing Blog

Posted on by

Carol asks…

What should a affiliate marketing be, a blog or website?

I want to make a content based website. I want to make it a affiliate based website. Should I choose a place like wordpress or make it a regular website.

Thanks for your help

Larry McCann answers:

For affiliate marketing both blog and WordPress are good.

But recommended is a WordPress blog as almost all the functionality that a sit can have, can be achieved in WordPress blog. Look of the homepage can be made like a site by making static homepage.

Using WordPress for this has manifold advantages as a lot of automation can be made in WordPress blog. Almost no maintenance or tech issues, further features of wordpress blog can be customized for a novoice user to a very tech-savy.

But it is recommended to have idea of self hosted blog Vs wordpress.com which is at http://reena.in/self-hosted-blog-vs-hosting-on-wordpress-dot-com/

Mandy asks…

I don’t know how to write a blog or create one for affiliate marketing. Is college recommended?

I’m thinking about going to college to learn affiliate marketing. I’m very new to it. I have bought the making money at home program and about Clickbank and how to make money. I saw the training video and read books, but still didn’t help me. I don’t have good reading comprehension to know how to do it.

Do you recommends that I goto college or a university to get help?

This link will take you to Blogger, a free site for starting your own blog, I recommend you start one and use it to get practice at running one. Completely free and all you need is a real email address…
If you start one, send me the URL so I can come visit

Lizzie asks…

Asking about affiliate marketing with my blog…?

Okay…I had already asked a question a few days before about why my blog doesn’t come up when I used the Google search engine, even though I have entered my website’s whole address (copy pasted) into the search box…

I reviewed the answers, and I found out that my website actually does come up inside of Google…

And now, to be totally honest…I’m actually using my blog for affiliate marketing for a certain website…and I think I get the drill on how to use the blog for it…my only problem is…I can’t seem to make my website to show inside the normal Google search engine (you know, the www.google.com place…) cause that’s the place where people search for things, right?

Can anybody help me on this? Oh yeah, I had already aired the website since late October…

Larry McCann answers:

Hi buddy!

Well, appearing on the first page of search results especially on Google is an interesting approach. It may seem too complicated, but after you learn some basics, it will get much easier.

The process of making web pages shown on the search engines is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and is a step-by-step process. Do it properly and you will come up on the first page very soon!

First of all, you need to choose a main keyword which is related to your website topic. A keyword that is not too broad and general, is searched accross the Internet many times and has very low competition. Some keyword research tools may give you the needed datas. That´s why it is recommended to select your keywords before you build your web pages.

Then, put that main keyword on some parts of your website. This is called On-Page Optimization. Put it on your domain name or sub domain name, put it on your Title tag, add it to your meta tags (Keywords and Description). Put it on your web page in some important places such as Headings, first and last paragraphs, as bold and italic fonts, and of course in your text. But don´t EVER try to use those keywords aggressively in your content. It will harm your SEO efforts and Search Engines will find it out and ban you instantly. NEVER try to abuse the system or spam!

Now, it is time to get backlins to your website (Off-Page Optimization). Try to choose websites that are related to your topic and have high PageRank. You should have your site published on other websites as anchor text. Meaning that your link on other sites may look like as a text including your main keywords instead of a link.

The more web pages link to your site, the higher positions your site will get according to that keyword. But, like I said before, the first step is to research and find the best related keywords to your site´s topic. You may find some datas on free keyword tools such as Overture and Google Keyword Tool, but I would prefer to use some paid tools that give me a lot of data about my site topic.

Mark asks…

New at affiliate marketing. Which blog or site builder should I use.?

I need a easy to use site builder.
I will be using Amazon & Ebay links. Any help??

Larry McCann answers:

Hey Tommy!

It rather depends on your personal level of technical skill here. The top three options that come to mind would be …

1) Blogger.com — Very easy to use. Just set-up a free account and start bloggin’! The downside to this option would be the lack of control you have over your site. You can’t add scripts or much in the way of customization. Plus, they could decide to cancel you at any time without warning.

2) WordPress — With this option you would register your own domain name and buy your own hosting and then you’re free to do pretty much anything your heart desires! It requires a little bit of technical knowledge but not as much as building everything from scratch. This is probably your best bet.

3) SiteSell — This can be a little costly (about $300?) but they provide absolutely every tool you could ever want all in one package. Vast amount of online help available and forums filled with people willing to help you. Good newbie package. Many successful affiliate marketers started here.

My best advice is to pick one and stick with it until you start making your first dollars online. You can expand from there.

John asks…

How do I do Affiliate Marketing? Which Companies? Or, on my own Blog?

How do I get started with Affiliate Marketing? There are companies? Which ones do I sign up with? And do I need to have my own website or Blog to do this? Please help me understand.

Thank You,
Kaloni

Larry McCann answers:

Start reading a bit and learning on how affiliate marketing works.

You don’t need your own website or blog. You can do direct linking from AdWords or article marketing.

Start with Clickbank and Commission Junction. Then, when you’re comfortable look at other affiliate networks.

If you want to learn how to build your own websites:

I got started with my affiliate marketing using this program:

Sharon asks…

Affiliate Product Marketing, choose product first or niche???

When setting up an affiliate marketing blog should I choose a product from the Affiliate list first or should i think of my niche then try to find the affiliate product??? thanks on any help you can give.

Larry McCann answers:

Choosing a niche first would give you a headstart.
Choose a niche with low competition and good demand and
then choose the top selling product in that niche.

Sandy asks…

When promoting an affiliate product through article marketing…?

…should one put a link in the “article resource box” to one’s affiliate-marketing blog for that product, or directly to the vendor’s sales page?

Larry McCann answers:

Hi John,

You could certainly do either of those but normally I’d recommend linking to your own site as you have much more control over it.

Firstly, many people sending people straight to the vendor will include an ugly looking affiliate url in the bio box. This then shouts ‘affiliate link’ and so many people will not click it just for that reason. You could of course use a redirect script to get around that problem.

Secondly, sending a visitor straight to the vendor means you lose any chance of collecting the visitors information so you can promote to them again in the future whereas sending them to your own site or even directly to your own squeeze page gives you this chance.

Jenny asks…

How can you do affiliate marketing without an website?

I am interested in doing affiliate marketing but i dont want to create a website or blog, then how i can i do it?ONLY SERIOUS GENUINE ANS.

Larry McCann answers:

I used to screw around with clickbank but it seemed like i was spinning my wheels and spending way more money then came in. I switched to http://totallyfreedatingwebsite.com ‘s affiliate program. It pays $35 to $55 per sign up. The people don’t even need to buy anything. And the best part is that it converts like crazy. It goes to show you how many horny guys there are out there. Anyways….I hope that helps.

PS: Scroll to the bottom of the page to and click on “webmasters”

Great Questions Regarding Internet Affiliate Marketing

Posted on by

George asks…

I live in pakistan (asia). Can i start an internet affiliate marketing business. if yes then how?

Larry McCann answers:

Here is a quick overview of how to get started.

I would recommend that you start by purchasing a domain name with a web hosting package. Yahoo! Small Business has a package that will suit your needs; the US pricing is $12 a month.

Next, you need to design your website so that it is targeted at your intended audience. Make sure that the content that you provide would be useful to your audience.

Next, sign up at affiliate programs that offer the products and services that your audience would be interested in purchasing; embed the affiliate links into your website so that you will be credited with the referrals from your site to the target websites.

Finally, market your website to drive traffic to your site. Create original content, participate in forums, start a blog, and so on.

Please read my article entitled “Seven Tips for Choosing an Online Gaming Affiliate Program” for more information: http://theonlinecasinogamblingdirectory.com/7OGAPtips.htm

Email me directly if you have any additional questions, or use the LiveChat links found on my site.

Mary asks…

how do I get involve in affiliate marketing on the internet ?

I would like to get a step by step explination on how to get up and running with affiliate marketing?

Larry McCann answers:

You really need to find a niche for affiliate marketing. What happens is people find your website through search engines, and then access affiliate marketing through your website. It is a very saturated business right now, so good luck whatever you decide.

Sharon asks…

Internet Affiliate Marketing Revenue?

Assuming I create an attractive website with 10 to 15 pages of informative content and useful links how much money can be generated during the first 6 months, year, 2 years, etc. Also, how much does a blog increase traffic and therefore revenue.? Thanks.

Larry McCann answers:

The key is is there a market for the product you created and it is a must to do a market research.

If there is no demand and also the market is not responsive to your offer,whatever you do is wasted.

It is like you have invented the best product you think the world want, but it is only you think so

Lastly even you know there is market there, are you able to access the market and find ways to position yourself as a solution provider

I hope these answer will help you to reassess how you want to approach affiliate marketing

Donald asks…

Can anyone point an Internet marketing newbie in the right direction?

I am a total Internet marketing newbie and I feel extremely overwhelmed. I quit my job after I had my son 5 months ago and my husband just got his hours cut back at work, so we need the extra money. I have read in some forums that affiliate marketing can be a great work at home job that I can do part-time and make good money. So, can someone help this newbie out?

Larry McCann answers:

I am also a work at home mom, but I have to tell you that affiliate marketing is just not a job. A telemarketer is a job. Internet marketing is a business and you must work hard at your business to make it successful. A lot of people have the misconception that they can, through up a website, add some affiliate links to it and make some good income.

On the contrary, you have to work hard at promoting your site and getting traffic and sales. This is why it is called marketing. You have to market it and market it some more. I don’t want you to get the wrong idea about affiliate marketing and get discouraged after a month or two by not seeing any income come in (which will most likely happen).

When I first starting affiliate marketing from home 3 years ago, I was putting in about 9-10 hour days to get my sites started, do my research, and market my sites to death. I only started to see regular traffic and money come in after about 3-4 months and even then it was only a couple hundred dollars and I had about 5 sites up.

But, after about a year, I was making over $4500 a month and I was only working about 20 hours a week. In the beginning, you really have to work and then as you get your sites more established, you can set things to autopilot and work much less. Now I have 2 kids and make almost 6 figures a year and work about 20-25 hours a week when my kids are sleeping.

I have about 60 niche websites and I am in the process of making 5 more. The sites that are the oldest are the ones that make the most money, with a few exceptions. You will have sites that no matter what you do may just not see conversions or make you the money that you want no matter how much you put into them. On the other hand, you may have sites that do a lot better than you ever thought they would and you only put in a minimal amount of time on them.

For an Internet marketing newbie like yourself, I recommend that you check out www.mattbacak.com. Even though I have been doing this for 3 years I still subscribe to his Internet Marketing Dirt newsletter and learn new things from it. The Internet is always changing and you must adapt your strategies if you want to really succeed. I wish you all the luck with your endeavor and don’t give up!

Ken asks…

Where to Advertise for affiliate marketing?

So i have gotten into online affiliate marketing selling e books. I have wrote a few articles on what im selling on a few popular article sites, and have also created a website using webs.com. But im wondering where else can i advertise my link for my product? Any forums where i can include it in my signature or good sites to make a page or write an article on? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also a place to advertise a ref link for a ptc.

Larry McCann answers:

You need to be a bit more specific here. Are these E Books that you have written yourself, and what are they about? If the work is original I would opt for Clickbank as a starting point, so that you can get affiliates to sell for you. The downside of this is that you will have to pay high commissions (up to 75%). You can try and do a search for relevant forums by typing say “forum+keyword” in Google. (keyword being the subject of your Ebook.)

William asks…

Is there a definitive guide to online marketing?

I am looking for something which gives excellent insight into affiliate marketing, online advertsing networks, PPC, SEO, CPC, CPM, CPA, blogs, forums and marketing on social networks, Web 2.0 etc. Also has to be current content – not something written in 2002 or something – less than a year or 2 old

Larry McCann answers:

There is no definitive guide as such, but there are some great resources out there to help. There’s a site called utalkmarketing.com which has a digital section- http://www.utalkmarketing.com/Speciality.aspx?nav=speciality_digital
It has a best practice section with case studies and also a basic info section if you are starting from scratch. The great thing is, they are all written within the last 6 months or so. Another way in is to look at some books although a lot of these are too old as online marketing is constantly changing. There’s one i use called ‘Marketing Through Search Optimization: How to Be Found on the Web’ which is a good jumping off point and was written in the last 2 years. I hope this helps.

Myspace and facebook don’t count as ‘regular’ webpages. To make money, you’ll need to make a real website with actual content that you update regularly to attract visitors and generate ad revenue.

Reference Available Upon Request

Larry McCann answers:

As a hiring expert, I recommend you take out your bottom two jobs as they were pretty short and you want to look like you’ve had stable jobs. The first three are fine. And a few more job descriptions. 3 may be too short. Have 4-6 job descriptions.

You should rename your activities section as “Other Experience” and name your regular experience section as “Professional Experience”. Take out “References Available Upon Request” because you should already have your references on hand when meeting an employer.

All of my advice is very detailed on my website so find more tips here: http://www.hireme101.com/resumetips.html. I also only charge $7 to edit resumes, so my services could be useful for you.

Linda asks…

good resume or no? professionals please.?

JOHN DOE

Objective

I am currently seeking a full-time or part-time job with hours ranging 20-40+ hours a week.

Education
Fond du Lac High School Fond du Lac, Wi 52935
Graduated 2007, High School Diploma

Work Experience
The last four years I have been making income through online affiliate advertising on small websites, blogs, and Google Adwords using widgets and other advertising tools. When a potential customer clicks on that widget they then are redirected to the businesses website in which im promoting. When that individual converts to a customer and purchases off that website, I receive a small percentage of the companies profit. I do this for hundreds of companies to increase my potential income. I use Google Adworks in which I bid on keywords involving my affiliates products and services and they show up according to what an individual searches on Google. Every time that person clicks on my advertisement and goes to the website, I get charged per click, but my rating on my ad goes up and will now be shown more. When the person clicks the ad they are directed to my affiliates web page and are more likely to become a customer, bringing business to my affiliate and potentially earning me more money. A lot of my affiliates are small business that i get off of a website called Clickbank.com. Others I went out and found. If you look at most websites on the bottom where it says “contact us” and “careers” you’ll also see “affiliate program”. Its a great source of income if you enjoy working from home.

Skills
I am a very friendly person and i enjoy interacting with people. I am hard worker and am great when i comes to improvising and problem solving. I’m very result oriented, if something comes out poor, i strive to figure out my flaws and make way for improvements. I take pride in my work and anything that has my name on it. I am also extremely good with computers using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I am a self starter and a quick learner. I’ve taught numerous friends how to make income working from home. I’m outstanding with numbers, i can do math rapidly in my head with an accurate outcome. I am great with money management, i have lived on my own paying rent and bills since i was 18 using the income i make online. I am very good at following written and verbal instructions and figuring out how things work.

Goals
Going back to school to get a degree in business management and marketing.
Starting my own business within the next 5 years.
Start a class online teaching people how to work from home using affiliate advertising.
Buy and sell real estate for profit (10 year plan)

I KNOW THIS ISN’T IN RESUME FORMAT BUT I COULDN’T UPLOAD IT ON HERE. THE REAL QUESTION IS, IS IT A GOOD RESUME FOR SOMEONE WHO’S NEVER WORKED AT A REAL JOB, ALSO A LOT OF RESUMES HAVE BULLETS FOR WORK EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS, IS IT BAD THAT I PUT IT IN PARAGRAPH FORM?

Larry McCann answers:

First off, the objective is too generic. You should add the position title to show that you know what you are applying for. The objective should be about what you want to do and why you would be good at the position. Just a short sentence.

Second, you don’t need your school address in the education section. Try to list your GPA, if it is not too low, and any school related accomplishments. Maybe you can list some school activities.

In your “Work Experience”, you seem to explain the actual internet service more than what you did. Try to make it so you are translating this experience into something the employer can use. They might not care about Google Adwords, but care about you computer knowledge and how it will help them. The resume should be about how you can help the employer, not yourself.

With “Skill”, make sure you have examples to back your statements. For example, if you enjoy interacting with people, give an example of volunteering or being on a team. Anybody can make false statements. Plus the examples will make the resume better to read. Also, try to tailor your skills to what the employer wants. If you want a customer service position, the employer will most likely want someone who is more outgoing. But if you want to be in IT then that outgoing personality will not be as important.

The “Goals” are okay but try to write a section that is shows your interest in the specific field. You could try writing a section about your interests or something personal, if you are just entering the job market.

Also, use bullets instead of paragraphs. The employer doesn’t spend much time reading resumes so make the important information stand out.

Also make sure you use action verbs at the start of every bullet point to add emphasis and keep the statements short and to the point. What I would recommend is checking out a resume book from the library. They can help people who have years of experience and those who have none.
