A lot of newbies get reall giddy by the mere mention of making money on the net. Mention Affiliate Marketing and they are already visualizing tons of money, lots of houses, cars, days of lazying about on the beach. Now I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with these fantasies; I'd say everybody should pursue these dreams. The problem is s0 many newbies pursue these dreams the wrong way and up frstrated to the point of giving up. Obviously the testimonies of successful affiliates have lead these newbies to get the impression that Affiliate Marketing is a walk in the park. In fact, it's not. It takes a lot of hard work, sweat and tears to get to the promised land. Now to make less complicated for Affiliates hoping to reach the promised land I'm going to catalogue a list of mistakes that aspiring affiliates need to avoid while they try to navigate the Affiliate landscape.
First of, avoid what most people would call "information overload". You, Affilliate newbies need to understand just about every body on the net claims t have the best formula to Internet success. The problem is you're bombarded with so much information that your mind becomes easily distracted and sluggish that you won't be able to recognize the best method out there even if it was presented to you. So basicall Try not to learn everything at the same time. Pace yourself. Most importantly, research the ideas and see whether they work or not. And if one of them does work then you put it to work.
Second up, Dont' dare sit back when the money starts flowing. This is one tragic mistake a lot of of newbies make. Once the money starts flowing, they say to themselves"We've arrived". That's your mind trying to fool you here. The fact that the money has started flowing is more reason to intensify your aggression. If one income tream dries up. You have to move on to the next stream, and the next stream until you reach permanent stability. Apply this tactic even when one stream is working; the trick is to diversify as much as possible.
Thirdly, and this is quite crucial, Dont' postpone till tomorrow what you can do today. So many newbies get something figured out in their heads, then , all of a sudden they take a break. Instead of acting on it there and then, they postpone til tthe following day. This breaks your momentum and also wastes time. You waste time. and you give your competition the edge.
So take heed of these warnings and you'll be sure to reach the promised land.

Ways to Keep Visitors At Your Website
The more time people spend at your web site, the
more time you'll have to persuade them to buy your
product or service. Below are ten powerful ways to
keep visitors at your web site longer.
1. Provide your web site visitors with content they
can't read anywhere else. People will stay longer at
your web site to read the original content.
2. Remind your web site visitors they can print out
your content. They may browse around your online
store while it's printing.
3. Offer your web site visitors a freebie if they take
the time to fill out your online survey. They'll be at
the site longer and might buy something afterwards.
4. Offer your visitors free software that they can
download right from your web site. While they are
waiting they might read your ad.
5. Provide a huge online directory of information
that your visitors could search. The directory must
contain information your visitors would want.
6. Make sure all your web pages load fast or your
visitors will leave fast. Time is precious; they won't
waste it waiting for your site to load.
7. Tell your visitors what's offered at your web site
at the very beginning. If people are confused about
what's being offered they may leave too early.
8. Publish your web site professionally. People will
get turned off and leave if they see a lot of spelling
and grammar mistakes.
9. Make your site text easy to read. Most people
won't strain their eyes trying to read text that is too
small, light or bright.
10. Use headlines and sub headlines all over your
your web site that will grab visitors attention. It will
attract them to explore your web site longer.

What Makes Affiliates Suceed in Affiliate Marketing?
I was listening in on the discuss fourm of a very popular affiliate Website when my attention was drawn to an interesting question posted by one of the form members. And the question went like this: "Why do some people make $100,000 in little time while some people who have been it montha and months make just one hundred dollars?
I was like 'hmmm.' This is a huge topic. There could be several reasons why people do not succeed in affiliate marketing.' However, I have decided to do something different today. Instead of giving reasons why people do not succeed in affiliate marketing, I'm going to focus why people succeed in affiliate marketing. First, I believe people suceed in affiliate marketing because they master the basics first. Instead of jumping on the 'get rich quick' bandwagon, they'd rather lay the foundation. This is accomplished using various tools such as research, reading lots of ebooks, e.t.c. They lay down the foundation before moving on to bigger things. Most importantly, they learn as they grow. Probably the most basic aspect of an affiliate's success is his website. He builds a genuinely useful website and promotes it. He then earns revenue from affilliate programs, contextual advertisng programs such as Adsense, and a newsletter. Most importantly, he tries to give the audience, or the visitors, information that woeld be of use to them instead of focusing on himself.
Another important reason why people succeed in Affiliate Marketing is that inner belief in themselves. Deep inside their souls, they believe they can succeed. Often times, people tend to discourage us saying that there is no way you can do it . Affiliates have that self conficence that they can suceed in this industry. They have that 'go getter' mentality, that whatever anybody says to discourage them, they can turn all that negativity to their advantage. And one ingredient that helps them negate all that negativity is attitude. They exude so much positivity, a major ingredient in this industry. While there are so many peaks, there are a lot of valleys,and as long as you stay afloat you'll come out on top.
Also, successful affiliates set themselves reasonable goals. They set themselves targets they they can reach. An Affiliate starting out will not set himself a target of amillion dollars especially when his reputation si not that strong. He could start with, say $30,000 for week. Once he accomplishes this target, then he moves up and up to the point that he actually makes more money than he can . Successful affiliates also set goals as far the workload is concerned. Instead of working numerous hours they cut them graduallly. The logic is 'why should I spend 12 hours struggling to make money when I could do make tons within a few hours. ?" This, of course comes with lots of research. By mastering the basics and the various techniques, he can now affod the luxury of going on vacation for a year while tons of cash rolls in daily.
Lastly, successful affiliates learn from the experts. They read up on as many sucess stories as possible and apply what they've learnt They don't necessarily have to appy all of them but they do choose what works for them. Besides, with the internet constantly changing, sucessful affiliates have to constantly be on their game if they really want to suceed, and the best way to do that is to learn from the best

Questions to Consider When Business Website Fails
This summary is not available. Please
click here to view the post.
Thursday, January 04, 2007
Wann Start an Online Business? Here is what you need to do?
First of all, You need to come up with a plan. You need to ask yourself, "Where Do I see myself, say five years from now? " You see, there is more online marketing than ,merely designing a website. You need to design an online business that will not cause you tos ay"Oh where is my next pay cheque coming from?" You should design a business that will make you enjoy life more. You should be able to wake up each morning with a bright smile on your face. Most importantly, do not burden yourself with too many tedious tasks. If that's your intention, delegate.
Probably the most important thing about designing an online business is considering your strengths and interests. This very important because as the famous old saying goes, "Life is too short." Why continue wasting away at a 'dead end job' you don't enjoy doing anymore instead of doing something you reall enjoy. And If you're not sure of what your strengths and weaknesses are, pick the brains of several family members and friends and get to them to list what they think are your strengths and weaknes them. Based on their feed back, you then proceeed to build your business. If you don't have any, and you're the type who likes to watch TV all day, Start now before end up poor.
If you're looking for a perfect way to make money, promote products that pay residual lifetime commissions. Inthis scenario, you get paid each time, you refer a customer to the merchant or the company you're representing. . In fact it's probably the most popular money - making tool on the Internet. Your customers becomes yours for life in that their continuous patronage of your products guarantees you a lifetime of riches. Unlike, other affiliate programs, you only have to do the work once.
You can also promote your products by starting a newsletter. This is very important because through the newsletter you create trust between you and the customers, and once they trust the product you're pormoting they'll keep coming back for more. Also, the newsletter whets the customers' anticipation because each month or each week, they'll be looking forward to more information from you.
While planning your site, find a niche that you're comfortable with and put all your energies into it. Do as much research as possible about that niche and find out what the target audience wants or are interested in. By target audience , I mean the audience you're trying to reach out to. There is no set time frame for this stage but usually 6 months to a year will ber an ideal time to get to know your audience. Once you've gained enough experience you can then go on and buy "failed websites" ie websites whose owners have given up on them, and turn them into success stories.
Last, and most important, keep it simple . It's good to do research but please don't overdo it. Someone of us come up with these elaborate 10 year plans and up getting stuck in a rut permanently. If you're one of those DESIST NOW. Star with a simple website that will bring you income regularly . The easiest route for most people is through affiliate programs and Adsense. Also, please don't rush, You may harbour ambitions of being the Bill Gates of Internet Marketing, but you do need to do your internship first by creating a simple website in a niche that is not too competitive. If you do all the right things you should generate income for years to come from this simple site
Happy Trails!

How to get hundreds of visitors to your website
1. Form joint ventures - partners can generate well in excess of 500 visitors to your site in one day. Partner promotions can vary from 40-50 visitors to well into the hundreds. In any case, you should aim to be constantly finding partners who will promote your site and products. Ideally, you want a mix of one-time promotions but also those who will place longer term promotions such as links, banners or repeat promotion to keep some consistency in your traffic.
2. Keep writing and submitting articles. Each article may only bring in a few visitors each day - but you will find over time some get picked up more widely or end up higher in the search engines bringing you much more traffic.
3. Start a blog - great search engine food and if you submit to the better blog directories, you will get a good deal of traffic some bloggers attract as much 10,000 visitors each month
Good Luck

How to Make Money on Line
Why do most people fail online? Why do they never make any money? It’s because they think about money first and about their customers last. They create a few pages, stuff them with affiliate links and ads and then they wait for the money to roll in -- usually they wait forever.Here is a simple formula to build a successful money-making online business:* Carefully research several niches before choosing a theme for your site. You should be passionate about the subject and there must be a hungry market for it.* Start building valuable content for both, your site visitors and the search engines.* Build more content, distribute articles, participate in targeted forums... this allows you to establish yourself as the expert in your field, to win the trust of your audience and to attract free, targeted traffic from the search engines.* Add new marketing strategies. Publish an e-zine to build your customer base, to establishes yourself as the expert in your niche, to gain trust...* Once you have a site of at least 40 content pages with at least 50 unique visitors per day, start monetizing: Add affiliate links, Google AdSense, sell your products or services...It just doesn’t make any sense trying to monetize your site, as long as you have only a few visitors. Who do you want to sell to? Instead, focus on building more content, driving traffic, building your list...Follow the "Content - Traffic - Trust - Monetize Traffic" formula and you can’t fail:* Build valuable content for your visitors and optimize it for the search engines.* After some time, the search engines will start sending you free, targeted traffic -- traffic that will steadily increase.* Provide valuable, problem-solving information. This allows you to build a relationship of trust with your audience and they will be more than happy to buy your products, follow your recommendations...* Ok, now and only now it’s time to monetize traffic: Place your affiliate links and Google ads, sell your own products...Monetization comes last in the process of building your online business.. First, you should create valuable content, you generate traffic, you gain the trust of your visitors and only then it makes sense to monetize your site traffic.

Tips For Affiliate Success
For all you guys who think that Internet Marketing is a 'get rich quick business' think again. I read an interview of Jeremy Palmer, the richest affiliate on the net at the moment. He grossed $ One million in commissions alone last year- a whopping amount isn't it? However, if you think he made this money the easy way , here are a few suggestions he proposed about how to be successful in this business.
- Build highly targeted websites around merchant products -Don't add products and services just for the sake of it.
- Build affiliate-targeted websites- You add other revenue programs and they dilute your affiliate offers
- Build effective keyword lists- Dont just target a few general keywords with a high volume, but rather, several niche keywords with a low volume.
- Build personal relationships with the merchants you work with.- Treat them as business partners rather than your source of income.
- Although you will make a lot of money within a short space of time, it takes a lot of work. - Set realistic goals baased on your experience, commitment and financial situation.
Good Luck!

Junk Explosion.
It amazes me to no end the huge amount of junkmail piling up in my Inboxes each morning. Every few minutes, they keep pouring into my Inboxes at such alarming speed that I'm left staring in disbelief. I' m sitting there like 'How do these people get a hold of email address?" Then it dawns on me 'my email address is the equivalent of an post office box, and that anyone can gain access to it. Then I think to myself,"Aren't the filters supposed to take of these intruders?" Because it seems no matter how aggressive you get trying to keep them out, they find ways of getting around thosethem (filters). Lately, I have gotten several emails from people thinking I'm female. I take a look at my name, and I ask myself " What's so female about my name" Is it because My name ends with the letter S? Talk about indecent proposals. I also get the usual emails from firms promising me all the cash in the world.
If all wishes were horses, here is how I would deal with this problem.
If all wishes were horses, here is how I would deal with this problem.
- install laserware to shoot down every junkmail that penetrates my cyberspace
- use tracer software to shoot and destroy any piece of junkmail
- Finally, freeze the computers of all firms firing junkmail towards my end.
Kinda fun isn't it?

Web Confusion
It seems some people are confusing Web Design with Web Development. Just because you have mastered HTML does instantly make you a Web Developer It takes a whole lot more than that. I remember several years ago I took an introductory course in Web Design covering HTML, CGI, and a bit of CSS. Upon completion of the course, I was really excited. I was like, "World here I come." Approximately, I saw an ad by this online classified advert service about doing websites on contract basis. I said to myself, Wow, this is my kind of job." So that morning I put on my shirt and tie looking forward to being employed. When I got to the company's office, I asked for Remi, the webmaster, and within a few minutes he showed up and asked me to take a seat. A few minutes later, I got the rudest shock of my life. He asked, "Are you familar with ColdFusion," I just stared. Then," Can you design dynamic sites?"Again, I just stared.
I came out of this exercise feeling very depressed. I had never been this humiliated. So for the next four years I learnt HTML, Javascript, CSS, and XML .
