How To Launch Your Own Online Products

How To Launch Your Own Online Products

Do you know how to create and launch your own online products? Do you know what it takes to create a product? Once you have created your own product how do you market it? This can seam like a daunting task at first, rather it is quite simple, just follow some of the basic principles and it can be a breeze.

You want to remember when creating your first product or any product for that matter; you will want to turn all of your customers into affiliates. These people are already familiar with your products or services and believe in them. Why not turn them into affiliates and create an army of people selling for you? Seems to be a winner.

In order to launch your first product, you will need the following:
- New domain name.
- Sales page for the product.
- An opt-in page to capture leads.
- A separate opt-in list with your autoresponder for that product.
- Payment processing.

For your first product it is recommended to uses Clickbank. It is very easy to sign up. They will charge a one-time fee. Also, Clickbank has a ready-made affiliate program that is automatically associated with your product once your account in set up. Remember this is extremely important; you want to make it easy to turn your customers into affiliates.

When creating your sales letter you will want to include and emphasize the business opportunity customers will have in promoting your product as an affiliate. You want to make this opportunity appear to be a part of the product itself. Remember anyone who is interested in your product is also likely to be interested in making a profit from it.

You also want to create incentives by paying commissions on all levels. When you set up your program, you will want to pay your affiliates on all levels: front-end, midlevel, and back-end. This will of course give them plenty of incentive to promote your product. It is important to remember that for every level an affiliate makes a sale you will too. So there is no reason to be greedy.

It is also important to make sure that your sales funnel is set up correctly. Your funnel should look like this
- Front-end product (your main product)
- Midlevel products (your one time offers)
- Backend products (your related offers, affiliate products)
Everything needs to be in place when a customer purchases. This is the time when they are most likely to take you up on anything else you offer him.

You also need to create a strong sales letter. If you are not good at writing it, get someone else to. Make sure your sales letter has all the components of solid copywriting in place:
- Strong headline
- Focus on benefits over features
- Good Graphics
- Focus on the customer
- Bonuses with estimated values
- Powerful closing offer and guarantee

If you follow these basic principles you will be on your way to setting up an automated system that will bring you income time and time again.

How to Build Web Traffic

How to Build Web Traffic

Who wants web traffic? Do you know how to build web traffic? How do you get the target visitors to your sites? How do you keep them coming back? Many people ponder these questions in hopes of finding the magic answer. Traffic is the key ingredient to any success on the Internet and without it you will be doomed to failure.

There are many ways in which you can develop traffic to your websites. Some of course will work better than others. It is important to understand that without web traffic you will not be able to succeed on the Internet. So how do you get the traffic you need. The first and most important way is with articles. Article marketing is by far the most effective long-term traffic generator. Articles, once release, remain on the web indefinitely. They assist in creating back links to your sites as well as bringing in highly target traffic to your sites. It is important to note that article marketing is not a quick solution. It takes time to write and submit articles. As a result it takes time for this to develop your traffic. However, once completed you will continue to reap the rewards for an indefinite period of time.

Pay-per-click advertising is obviously the best know way of generating web traffic. It is exactly how the name reads, a pay per click/performance traffic generator. This is the quickest way to start seeing results to any website. You can target specific keywords or phrases. However, the traffic you receive from this source is not long-term. It will only last as long as you have funds to continue advertising. It is recommended to utilize some of the smaller search engines for your pay per click advertising. The reason being, there is simply less competition for keywords, thus costing less to advertise.

Press release is another great way to see a quick influx of web traffic. Though it may be short-term traffic. Press releases tend to age and drop off. This can be avoided by writing high quality press release. A high quality press release can be seen as an article, being picked up and published by other sites, thus creating a long-term traffic generator.

Social bookmarking has become an extremely popular way in recent times to generate web traffic. You can post sales pages, blogs, articles and etc… to these sites and link them back to your homepages. These sites allow you to become an active member of the community with whom you can develop a fowling which in return will also increase your web traffic.

It is important to remember that none of these methods will work to the full extent you so desire alone. They must be used together. Remember advertising needs to be in as many places as possible to be successful. The more places people can come across your links the better off you will be.

Easy Traffic

Easy Traffic

Would you like to get easy traffic to your websites? Do you know how to get traffic to your website? Traffic to any website is the fundamental necessity to your success. There are a number of ways in which you can succeed in the traffic game; below you will find a list of some of the most effective methods.

To say it is all about links is an understatement. Links are the key to your traffic game. The more sites that are pointing back to yours the better off you are going to be. You can develop links in the following ways:
- Advertising, buying banner or text ads on other sites.
- Submitting articles, press releases, and viral reports.
- Networking with other list owners.
- Linking your site to forums, newsgroups, testimonials, classified ads, product review sites, blogs and videos.

Pay-per-click advertising is by far the fastest way to start receive traffic to your websites. However this does come at a cost. However, if you wish to generate traffic to your sites in a hurry, it is recommended to advertise on the big pay-per-click sites as well as some of the smaller sites. You may find a benefit on smaller search engines. Because they are smaller the competition/cost for keywords is not as high. You will be able to receive more traffic at a lower cost, making your dollars stretch a bit farther.

Ezine Advertising is another great way to get target traffic to your sites. You can search out keywords that match your site exactly and choose to advertise there. Target traffic is always going to be better than broad traffic. You want to seek out people who are looking for your type of products or services.

Article marketing is the best way to generate long-term traffic to your sites. It is not going to be the fastest way to build traffic but it will continue to produce traffic over the long term. The reason it is not the quickest is quite simple, you are limited to the amount of articles that you can write and submit on a daily basis. As a result of this it takes time to achieve a significant amount of articles on the web. However, once an article has been released it stays on the web indefinitely.

Press release can act in much the same way as an article. Well-written press release can be picked up and re-distributed. This allows it to stay active on the web for an indefinite period of time. You should strive to always write well-written releases other wise you will be looking at short-term traffic. Your releases will drop off as the age thus eliminating any traffic that you may have received.

What Is The Traffic Game?

What Is The Traffic Game?

I am sure most of you are already aware of the term traffic and the importance of targeted traffic to your site, more over getting your product in front of people who are looking for your type of product. So what is the game of traffic all about? How do you win at the traffic game? All valid questions which shall be answered shortly.

Too many people allow themselves to be intimidated by the task of getting targeted traffic to their sites. I believe this has a lot to do with all the hype and products in the how-to market that say they will solve your traffic problems. The main key to understand is that you have to learn the basic rules on how people find Websites and you will never be at a loss on how to get traffic again.

The first and most important thing to remember is that everything is connected by millions of web servers. So what does this mean? Basically in a nutshell people discover new websites in three main ways:
1. By inputting keywords into a search engine like Google.
2. By clicking on links in articles or advertisements on well known websites.
3. By word of mouth-online, through forums or chat rooms.

The second thing to mention is that it is all about links. In order for someone to find your website, they need to see it, hear it or write it down and then retype it into the browser bar, or they can click through an active hyperlink. So as you can imagine, what you want to do is get your URL on as many other websites as possible. This can be accomplished in the following ways:
1. Advertising
2. Creating content through articles, press releases, viral reports and etc.
3. Networking with other list owners.
4. Linking your site within forums, newsgroups, testimonials, classified ads, product reviews, blogs and videos.

The third thing to remember is that every market has a mini hub and a hub. A hub can be considered a portal on sites like Google, Yahoo and MSN. The mini hub would be a site located within these portals related to your niche. The site should contain a forum about your niche. This site would be considered your mini hub.

Remember that the traffic you wish to generate should be targeted traffic. You want people who are looking for the types of products you are offering. This will not only improve your close ratio but also eliminate the wasting of your time. As you know, no traffic= no people= no action. Remember there are many ways in which you can generate free traffic to your websites. This can be accomplished through the following:
1. Submitting articles
2. Submitting press releases
3. Distributing free viral reports
4. Participating in market focused groups, forums and bulletin boards
5. Social networking

The 5 Keys To a Successful Internet Marketing System

The 5 Keys To a Successful Internet Marketing System

Do you know what the key components to a successful Internet marketing system are? If you do, do you know how to implement them? Every successful Internet marketing system comes down to five components: Market; Offer, Traffic, Backend, Duplication.

1. Market: Every business needs a market. It is crucial that you identify your target market before you enter into business. You need to identify what you are looking for. You are going to want to choose a market that meets the following criteria:
- Need of a solution
- The ability to spend disposable income on products/solutions
- Easy to reach

So basically a good market means, a number of people who are looking for a solution to a problem with extra money to spend on a solution by which you can profit.

2. Your Offer: The following should be memorized: people do not buy products they buy solutions. You need to shift your focus away from the details of the product. Instead, look for the problem that can be solved. The solution would be your offer. This holds true weather you are selling ebooks or physical products.

3. Traffic: Driving traffic to your website is no different than trying to bring customers into an actual brick and mortar store front. If no one shops at your store you go out of business. If no one visits your website, you go out of business. Now, while you can’t control your visitor’s agenda, you can control the percentage of visitors coming to your site who are opened to your products or services. Basically, you can improve your sales by generating target traffic.

4. Backend: This refers to the offers you make as follow-ups after the initial sale. The majority of your income is going to be earned from your backend offers. If you want to earn real income from your Internet business, you must follow up with existing customers. Once someone has purchased a product through you, they are very likely to purchase another and another… The key, is that your backend offers up the ante,

5. Duplication: Most people’s system ends at number 4, but this should not be the case. The final step, always, is to duplicate your existing business model into other markets or into horizontal product lines within the same market. Once you have established yourself with your current business, you can begin looking for new opportunities and repeat the same steps.

How to Get More Web Traffic

How to Get More Web Traffic

Do you want more web traffic to your site? Are you struggling with a solution to your traffic dilemma? Have no fear, all you need to do is follow the simple steps listed below and you will see an explosion of new web traffic.

1. Press Releases: Press releases are a great way to achieve immediate traffic, though they fall into bit of a gray zone when it comes to long-term or short-term traffic. Well-written, timely, relevant press releases can bring you a big surge of web traffic when it first goes out. This is the short-term boost. However, a well-written keyword rich release can rank highly in the search engines results. In this situation it is more like an article and can bring you long-term traffic.

Your ability to use press releases as an immediate traffic generator is based upon syndication. Basically, press releases are distributed across a broad network of web sites that subscribe to the news feeds. As you can imagine, the number of sites that can pick up your release can be quite large.

2. Classified Advertising: Classified advertising online is similar to print advertising with the exception that online ads are much cheaper and reach a much broader spectrum of readers. The first step to successful classified advertising is to come up with about four to five variations of classified ads to place on different websites. Headlines, as always are extremely important. You need to grab the readers’ attention immediately. The body of the ad can be short. The amount of space that you are given will vary from site to site.

3. Social Networking: Social networking is a great way to generate more web traffic. Social networking sites are all the rage right now and provide a unique opportunity to clone your self across the Internet. These sites provide a unique opportunity to increase your traffic. Some of the sites however do differ in functionality, but they all allow you to advertise your sites in some form or another.

4. Viral Video: This is a unique way to generate web traffic and may not be for everyone. If you enjoy speaking about market topics, consider creating a video cast or audio podcasts. This gives you the ability to create multimedia versions of your newsletters and distribute them on sites. This gives you a huge benefit by showing your personality. This will help you connect directly with the viewers.

5. Stealing Traffic: You can “steal” traffic from blogs by posting comments with links back to your sites. This should be focused towards high traffic sites. When doing this it is important to note that you should leave some valuable contribution to the site. You will find that by providing useful information to your post you will generate a greater amount of targeted traffic to your sites.

How To Select a Niche Market

How To Select a Niche Market

When you begin brainstorming ideas for a target market, try to think about things that you are interested. What niche markets do you love, do you have hobbies and interest in? What type of special knowledge do you possess that might benefit this niche market and be of use to others?

The average person thinks in terms of products that already exist. The niche marketer thinks in terms of both existing products as well as products that do not exist. How does a niche marketer see opportunities where others do not? Quite simple:

- They pay attention to what people are already buying.
- They pat attention to trends in hot industries.
- They keep up with local and world news.
- They tend to be avid readers.

So how do you apply this to come up with your own potential target markets to research? You need to start by asking yourself the following questions:

1. What products am I currently consuming?
2. What issues have been in the news lately that might connect to a need for a particular type of product?
3. What information have you read about that could point to a market?

Now, you need to write down everything that comes to mind. You will want to closely examine your answers. You will want to try and find the simplest one or two word answers. Now you will want to explore the web for these topics. You will want to identify the demand of the topics.

Once you have identified a niche you will want to determine the profitability of this market. Market profitability is based on two factors:
1. The market has plenty of disposable income.
2. The market is known to buy.

You will also want to see some healthy competition. Competition is a good sign of a healthy market. It tends to show a need or demand for the niche topic. It also tends to show signs of good profitability in the market.

You will also want to determine if this market is where people are already buying. Check to see what’s popular; see if you can spot trends. Check what is at the top of lists. Most sites have a top lists showing which products or subjects are currently selling the most. This is one way to narrow things down and find a niche within your market.

How To Launch Your Own Successful Affiliate Program

How To Launch Your Own Successful Affiliate Program


The key to true success online is in setting up your own successful affiliate program. Using affiliate programs as traffic boosters is not a new idea. The new thought is putting special focus on turning existing customers into successful affiliates. With this you will integrate affiliate sign-up into your sales funnel.

The first thing that must be done is to repeat the fundamental steps used in creating an offer. In order to launch your first product you are going to need the following:

- A sales page product
- A new domain name just for the specific product
- Another opt-in page you can use to capture leads for follow-ups on that product
- Payment processing
- A separate opt-in list within your auto responder account for the specific product.

For payment processing, I recommend most newcomers start out with Clickbank. It is very easy to sign up. Clickbank will charge you a one-time fee to get your page up. Also, Clickbank has a ready-made affiliate program that is automatically associated with your product once the account has been created. This is extremely important, because you want to make it as easy as you can to turn your customers into successful affiliates.

An important point that you will want to emphasize in your sales literature is the great business opportunity customers will have in promoting your product as an affiliate. You should try and make this appear as part of the product itself. Remember you are selling more than just one product. You should have mid-level and back-end products integrated into your sales funnel. This gives not only you but affiliates the ability to earn income on all three levels. Anyone who is interested in your products will also likely be interested in promoting your products for a profit.

You are going to need to create incentive by paying commissions on all levels. You will also want to entice people by paying higher than average commissions. Remeber the key here, there is no reason to be greedy, when an affiliate makes a sale you make a sale too…

The other key to remember is creating a strong sales letter. If you are not good at writing sales letters, hire someone to do it for you. You can also copy elements from sales letters you have read that made you want to buy. Make sure your sales letter has all the components of solid copywriting involved
- A killer headline
- Focus on features and benefits
- Great graphics
- Focus on the customer
- Bonuses with an estimated value
- Powerful closing offer and guarantee

You will want to make sure that you follow up with your affiliates. Keep the in your loop and abreast to any new offers or changes in the current product. Remember their success is your success!

The 5 Key Points to Successful Affiliate Marketing

The 5 Key Points to Successful Affiliate Marketing

Do you want to become a successful affiliate marketer? Do you want to earn thousands of dollars a month through your affiliate programs? If so, then remember, to be successful with affiliate marketing you need to keep in mind a few key points.

You must master how to identify hot markets. There is a bit involved to this, it’s not like throwing a dart against the board. It will take some research and time. Google has a tool called Zeitgeist, which is actually made up of several tools that give insight into global, regional, past and present search trends. These tools are available for you to play with, explore, and learn from. It is great place to start. You are able to research the top 100 trends, from which you may be able to identify a hot niche through which you can profit.
Identifying a hot niche is only part of the battle. You must then identify a product(s) within this niche that you can market. Clickbank is the best source for reliable affiliate relationships. You are able to refine your search topic to identify only the niche in which you wish to market. You want to look for high paying commissions. Products for which you will be paid 60% or more per sale. You also want to look at the gravity number and the % referred. The gravity number represents the number of affiliates selling this product. The % referred is exactly that, the percentage of sales referred by other affiliates. I would also recommend looking for programs that contain residual income. Residual income is the key to long-term success and profits. Instead of having to make repeat sales from customers, you make one sale and receive residual income for as long as that individual is in the program. As you can imagine, this number can grow to be quite significant.
You must create a highly converting landing page. Your landing page is your gateway to sales. Your goal with your landing page should be to have people opt-in to your email list. As everyone knows the real money is in the list. It is a fact that the majority of sales do not occur on the first visit. It usually takes an individual 7 times of seeing the same image before they will purchase. By having an opt-in page, you are creating a list of pre-screened qualified candidates to which you can market.
Your thank you page should be the first thing that individuals see once they have opted-in to your list. This page should thank the person for agreeing to be part of your list. This page should also introduce your self. This is your chance to re-enforce your credibility as an expert in your niche. This page should also contain the primary offer you are representing as an affiliate. You want to make this affiliate offer as prominent as possible. You also want to begin to sell the value of this affiliate offer to your new subscriber.
Your next step is making sure you have a set of pre-planned email offers. This should be handled through an auto responder. With the auto responder you can coordinate your offers to go out as you see fit. It is recommended to keep in constant contact with your subscribers. You do not want them to forget who you are. Make sure you offer value in your correspondence. They must feel like they are getting something of genuine value from you.
