This method will allow anyone with basic computer experience open an online business and generate an income.

Assuming you are part of an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple, your profits! But how can this be accomplished?

Read some of these tips to help increase affiliate commissions:

1. Know the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.

There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones.

There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.

Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.

In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.

2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale.

This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you.

Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.

But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.

Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.

This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.

3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.

If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.

Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.

Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.

I have already come across a situation with someone else registering a name that a client should have grabbed. It is like domain names… just do it…especially if Google purchases them!

I put together rather quickly:

http://516videos.com

and used Windows Media Maker to take some pictures and make a movie. Very simple and I got nice results in the big 3 SE’s. Took me about 10 minutes in all.

One thing you want to do is to create a channel for your videos on YouTube… helps.

More to come when I figure out more..

Those that I registered for only one year did not do so well in the search engines. Those I registered for 2+ years seemed to do better. I truly believe that this is not by accident. See one of the major search engines became an official registrar. Now they can check specific data. My thinking is one year registrations are like throwaway sites. Those who want to do real work and keep for longer..maybe the se’s take that into account. No proof just my years of experience. I know .. it is 2x the money but maybe worth the extra $8

My only questions is.. if I were making that much a day woudl I tell or share with anyone? Probably not. So that sets me off a bit. I do think there are some systems that work but I go by the old principle…hard work. Nothing is so easy. The things that have made me money were well thought out.. done in steps…took time and alot of work. I know of no easy business…and that is the most important thing to learn here. Weekend warriors will NOT do well at this. You have to be dedicated..like a boxer or athlete. Do it daily. Live it. It is a BUSINESS. Not a hobby.

Content is king. Find a topic people are interested in like model railroads or frisbees and write everything you can on it. Devour the niche. Do the work and cut no corners. If you are tired, write that article. It will pay in the end.

Hmmm http://rankwhere.com/traffic-secrets-20-john-reese-returns-buy-it-hmmm.htm http://rankwhere.com/traffic-secrets-20-john-reese-returns-buy-it-hmmm.htm#comments Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:12:20 +0000 admin0 http://rankwhere.com/traffic-secrets-20-john-reese-returns-buy-it-hmmm.htm So Traffic Secrets 2.0 creator John Reese is alive again with the follow-up to his hugely successful version 1. Yes I own the version 1 and have to say for the time it was quite awesome. So I fully expect Traffic Secrets version 2.0 to be even better. The price seems to be better as I paid $1000 for the first and now this version 2.0 by Reese is $397 which might seem like a bunch but he always over-delivers.

I am planning on buying it as I know I can find some great info in there. I watched his preview videos and he does one thing I already do which is give away free software for return traffic. I do this on my resources.com website. All free.

You can check out John Reese’s videos here:

I have not recommended a product in about six months but this one I know will be good and if I am willing to spend my own money (which of course is limited these days), you may want to check out the info as it can help your business.

Thanks!
Joe
