o It's All In The Lists


You have probably heard the expression:

"The Money Is In The List"

too many times. But in fact, this statement is
more true than ever. No matter what you're doing
on the web - building your contact lists should
be your number one priority.

If you're into affiliate marketing or trying to
sell something on the net, then list building
will be one of your most effective tools. I
know because I have used lists to sell millions
of dollars worth of affiliate products.

Besides SEO or #1 Rankings in the search engines
(mainly Google) for my targeted keywords; list
building has been my other major marketing tool
or method of earning an online income.

But I will let you in on a little secret, although
I run two websites on Internet marketing and
have large lists associated with each of those
sites... those are not the lists that make me
money!

My most profitable lists are in the niche areas
that I market. Whenever I promote an affiliate
product - I build a list of interested clients/customers
for that product or niche market.

Example: if you're selling laptops, you build a
list of interested subscribers/customers who sign
up for further information, deals or discounts.
It's a very simple principle, most visitors come
to your site once, but if they sign up to your
list - you have the chance to bring them back
to your site time and time again.

Lists are great marketing tools. You can use them
to warm up or pre-sell your products or services.
But it must be a win-win situation for both parties
or it won't work - your subscribers must benefit from
being on your list; they must get valuable information
or a great discount.

If you're not using lists with your online site
or marketing - you are losing out on a lot of
future traffic and sales.

Anyway, I have written a simple article below
explaining more on list building...

o List Building - The Two Key Elements You Must Have


List Building - The Two Key Elements You Must Have
Copyright © 2008 Titus Hoskins


One of the most important factors to online success
is list building. No matter what goals you're pursuing
with your online activities, building a good healthy
contact list is vital for a successful outcome.

List building plays a major role in developing good
relationships with your site's customers, clients and
visitors. It can be used to get more traffic, leads
and sales for your site or business.

For these reasons contact building should be high on
your list of priorities when you're marketing or promoting
on the web. Fortunately, list building is an easy process
that any site or webmaster can quickly set-up as long
as you understand two simple, yet well-proven principles
of list building.

To be really successful, your list building must
incorporate these two key elements. Without these two
main ingredients you will probably find building your
contact list difficult and slow going. So it is worth
your while to fully understand and utilize these
two factors in your list building.

Any list should have these two key elements:


1. Value

Your list should have value. It should offer something
valuable to the one subscribing. It should offer important
information, quality content, special deals/discounts,
and more importantly, it should offer a valuable relationship
or connection to an expert in the subject area of the list.

Subscribers join a list for the benefits it will bring them,
whether it be valuable content, special deals or a connection
to an expert in their area of interest; your list must have
value for the subscribers. They must benefit from joining
your list.

If you're building a list, just write down all the benefits
someone would receive from joining your site or list.

- receive important information
- get special valuable content
- receive special deals/discounts
- get training videos/workshops
- get timely announcements or news

Make these benefits your main selling points when you're
building your list. Don't forget there may also be a
psychological reason for joining your list - many people
like being part of a group or membership site. It's human
nature, we all want to be emotionally involved with certain
topics or causes, so don't ignore this aspect when building
your list. Everybody likes to feel included - lists can fulfil
this emotional need.

Simply give your subscribers something of value and
you will build your list quickly and easily.



2. Free

Whatever you offer - make sure it is Free. The quickest way
to build any list is to give away free valuable content,
information, videos, reports, ebooks, discounts, prizes...
everybody loves a free gift. Just make them an offer they
can't refuse.

Some marketers argue that giving away free items will attract
the "wrong kind" of customer or subscriber - people that will
never buy anything because they will expect it to be free.
But this has more to do with the nature of your gift and the
kind of contacts you're building - giving away free buying guides
on how to purchase real estate, fast cars, LCD TVs, laptops...
will definitely attract the right "buying customer". If you're
into selling, you just have to adjust your marketing to
incorporate the free element correctly.

Besides, giving away something free is the first step in
starting an ongoing relationship with your subscribers. It
gets the ball rolling. It is one of the most effective ways
to build your list quickly and easily. Just make sure you're
giving away something of value to the person receiving it and
they will turn to you, time and time again, to find what they're
looking for on the web.

So the next time you're building a contact list make these
two key elements the center of your activities. Just remember
"give them value and make it free" and you should have no
problems with list building.

o The AutoResponders I Use For My Lists


I am often asked what AutoResponder system I use
with my lists?

I use Aweber... they are extremely good and I have
been using them for years and never had a problem
with them yet, knock on wood. They are really
professional.

They use a double-optin system which will protect you
against any 'spam complaints'. You can use as many
autoresponders/lists as you like... and I also like
the 'fade-ins' windows/pop-ins that increases your
sign up rates. I also like their control panel, very
easy to manage all yours lists from one simple location.

If you're thinking of building lists, and you should
be. Aweber is a good place to start....

You can Test Run an Aweber demo here:






o "I LOVE SBI! Special $100 Valentine Gift"

Site Build It has become my favorite "marketing system"
to promote. Since building a site with them last
year - I have become more of a fan.

Especially if you're just starting out and learning
the ropes. Keep in mind, SBI is little more expensive
than your regular 'run-of-the-mill' web hosting - mainly
because SBI is a complete marketing system. It will
give you everything you need to start a web business.

Now SBI is offering a Special $100 Valentine Gift.

Now for only $100 you can give a second SBI
site to someone you care about- even yourself!

Order one package and get another for $100. Join
with a friend and you buy together to save money on
your own SBI.

Even without a discount SBI is still the best
deal on the net for starting a "web business"
- says I!

I LOVE SBI! Special $100 Valentine Gift









Hope this helps!

o BlogRush From John Reese



If you know Internet Marketing, John Reese
is always someone you should keep a close eye
on!

After all, John created online marketing history
by earning over 1 million in ONE day with the release
of his much respected "Traffic Secrets".

Now he has released an interesting little program
called BlogRush. It's a simple way to get F.ree
traffic to blog. It syndicates your blog topics on
other related blogs so you get targeted visitors.

Except for TrafficSwarm, I don't use any of these
traffic programs anymore - but this one is probably
going to be another exception.

It doesn't really has nothing to do with the program
but rather with the nature of blogs. How blogs
work. BlogRush is tailor made for blogs.

It will fit perfectly into the syndication feature
already presented by the RSS feed that's attached
to every blog. Just tap into this feed and your
content is syndicated over hundreds, even thousands
of related blogs who are also using BlogRush.

Just one more way to get traffic to your blog. Well
worth your effort.

The best part, BlogRush is Free so there's no
harm in trying this one:

Feature Article

I debated really hard with myself before I wrote
this article. Mainly because it is not what most
people starting up an online site or business
want to hear. I know this article won't be popular
or win me any new friends!

In this article I spell out an all too obvious truth -
there are no quick fixes. There are no magic formulas
for quickly earning money online. Sure there are things
that work, programs you can follow... marketers and
marketing techniques you can duplicate.

But there is one important element that most marketers
trying to sell you their product avoid or worst simply
lie to you about.

What they don't want to tell you is that (in most cases)
building an online income takes time. A whole lot of
time and planning. It is simply not done overnight.

Sorry but there are no quick fixes. There are no magical
formulas or fast forwards!

If you want to build a solid steady online income
you have to put in the time... I will let the article
give you all the gritty details.





o Take The Slow Road To A Passive Online Income
Copyright © 2007 Titus Hoskins




The promise of instant wealth and riches has always
been a successful marketing ploy by marketers.
Unfortunately, more times than not, they are the only
ones raking in the big bucks. Don't be fooled by any
quick fixes, building a passive online income takes
time and a whole lot of planning to get the job done
properly.

Still, many people are tempted by the offer of a
quick fix and the promise of overnight success.
Don't be.

Building a solid lasting online business requires some
planning and time. Don't be under the illusion that
building a steady online income can be done overnight
or with just a few clicks of the mouse. It usually
doesn't happen that way even in the virtual world.

This is probably not what you want to hear for in our
hastily created "Instant Society" we want everything
five minutes ago. We want immediate gratification.
We want it done already.

We want the quick fix.

To make matters worst, we are constantly bombarded with
stories of how ordinary people have struck it rich and
made money very quickly online. The swift speed of the
Internet has fueled these 'get rich quick' scenarios up
to a fever pitch. A virtual fiery inferno!

But don't be taken in by all this marketing hype and stories
of people who have made money quickly and easily. Slow down.
Take a deep breath and use your brain cells in at least
multiples of 10!

Sure there are online marketers who can generate thousands,
even millions within a few days but in almost all these
cases these marketers have built a solid foundation first.
They have built their sites, created products, cemented
business deals, formed JV (Joint Venture) partners, built
their contact lists and they have done their SEO work...

In other words, they have done the ground-work first
and have created the means to generate income quickly
and steadily.

Regardless of what these successful online marketers
will tell you or want you to believe - it didn't just
happen overnight. Of course, there are a few exceptions
to that statement (people do win lotteries) but what
most of these marketers have in common are long tern
marketing strategies which played a significant role
in their success.

Long tern marketing strategies which helped them build
a steady passive online income. The same strategies you
can use to generate your own passive online cashflow.

Here are some suggestions from someone who is drawing a
healthy passive online income, actual strategies you
can copy.


1. Think Long Term

Save your immediate fixes for the spaying of dogs and
Las Vegas weddings. Have a long term goal in mind when
you set out to create your online affiliate income. Don't
expect it to happen in a couple of days, instead plan on
months and even years of building your online business from
the ground up.

Have the mind-set that you're creating long term relationships
and objectives. Have a long term business plan in place or
at least realize you will have to put time aside to build
your business. If you need income to live on, don't quit
your day job. Work on building your online income in your
spare time and after working hours.

Along the way, take time to obtain a solid knowledge base.
Learn everything you can on Internet marketing. Learn how
it's done. Knowledge and 'know-how' will be your main
ingredients for success.


2. Your Unique Selling Position

The Internet is mainly based on the transfer of information.
Make sure you have some to offer. Base your online business
on something you have expertise in or something that you
would enjoy becoming an expert on - play to your own interests
and hobbies. If you love what you do it will not be work.

Create your own corner of the web on something that truly
interests you. Something as simple as creating "How To Guides"
and "Comparison Shopping Sites" do extremely well online.
Information on the web is scattered all over the place,
simply compiling this information in an easy to read and
access manner will produce surprising results. One of your
main goals should be to get your site seen by all the search
engines as an "Authority Site" on your particular subject matter.

3. Target and Dominate Your Niche Keywords

Do your keyword research homework first. The web is powered
by keywords - the exact phrases people type into search
engines to find what they're looking for on the web.
Find the highly searched for keywords in your niche or
subject area and target them in your online marketing.
Please remember, achieving top keyword rankings may take
months ( more likely years) of consistent SEO work.

Use sites like WordTracker or GoodKeywords to find your
useful keywords. Create web pages and content related to
your keywords. Build quality one-way links to these keywords
by writing helpful and informative articles on your niche.
Submit these articles to online directories like Ezinearticles,
Goarticles...

Invest in a professional keyword research software such
as Keyword Elite if you do extensive keyword marketing
and PPC advertising. The idea is to dominate the main
keywords in your niche market; if you can get high rankings
for these profitable keywords, be assured companies in
your industry will quickly come knocking at your door
with lucrative offers.



4. Build Relationships

Along the same lines, go out of your way to build long
term relationships with the companies and affiliate managers
you're promoting with your site. If you supply the sales
and traffic, you will be rewarded with special incentives
and bonuses. Don't be afraid to bargain for private
affiliate arrangements and compensation, companies will
go out of their way to reward and keep their top performing
affiliates happy. Money talks, that other stuff walks!

Join the major Affiliate Marketing networks such as
Commission Junction, LinkShare, ClickBank, Shareasale...
these companies are professionally run and offer affiliate
programs for all the Top 500 companies. Remember, the Internet
is still seen as a very untrustful place by many customers,
promoting well known established Brand Name companies and
products will prove more lucrative for any affiliate marketer.

5. Build Your Own Lists

One of the most effective and proven marketing strategies
is to build your own 'opt-in' or contact lists. Creating and
nurturing a loyal and responsive list should be one of your
main goals as an affiliate marketer.

Building a series of 'follow-up emails' for each of your
major affiliate products can produce more sales. Capture
the contact information of your site's visitors for further
marketing and contact. Your follow-up emails should be both
helpful and offer special discounts or offers to your subscribers;
everyone loves a deal.


6. Create Multiple Income Streams

Don't put all your eggs... but you know that already and the
same applies to affiliate marketing. Don't concentrate on one
product or company. Create affiliate relationships with hundreds,
even thousands of companies and you will see a steady flow of
affiliate checks. If one industry or market area slows down,
you can rely on others to fill in the gap.

Don't forget an easy way to monetize your site or sites
to produce passive income is to place ads with your content.
Google Adsense is just one example of this, there are many more.
Just place a few lines of code and these companies will supply
targeted ads for your content. Simple and easy way to earn
passive income.

Over time, as you build up your online business and affiliate
relationships, one of the most rewarding things is getting all
those affiliate checks arriving each month.


7. Aim For Residual Income

Make it your goal to market/promote products and companies
that pay residual income. You have to put in the same time
and effort to make the sale but with a residual sale it keeps
paying for months and years into the future. Make one sale and
receive residual income for the life of that client.

The most successful tactic here is to choose affiliate
programs that offer monthly services such as membership sites,
hosting services, business services, cable services... once
customers sign up for these ongoing services they usually keep
them for years. Building residual income is not a difficult feat
and can be one of the main sources of a steady passive income
for years to come. Imagine getting paid for a sale you made five
years ago.


To sum up, creating an online passive income is not a
difficult task but it usually takes some time and planning.
Instead of going for the quick fix, build up your sites and
affiliate relationships over the long term. You will achieve
a higher degree of success and in the process you will build
a much more secure and reliable source of passive income.

Take the slow road, you will get there much quicker!

o Passive Cashflow Secrets



Like me, many people online have created a very
good healthy passive income. It took me over three
years to see a steady income from my sites. Others
have done it quicker, but as I stated in the article
above, it usually takes some time.

But it can be done and countless online marketers
are doing it.

Neil Shearing is one of those marketers. I really
respect Neil - www.scamfreezone.com was one of my
first affiliate programs I promoted online. (Along
with Corey Rudl's Internet Marketing Center)

Neil is now about to release his latest product
"Passive Cashflow Secrets" and it will be like
all the products from Neil well worth your while.

Neil has concentrated on products telling you how
to Automatically earn income online. Once you have
all your sites set-up, all your autoresponders
follow-ups programmed, all your SEO work done...
the Internet will supply you with what seems like
an automatic income, month after month.

Anyway, if you are interested in creating and
setting-up your own automatic income, you can
check out the early bird page - it has a video,
report and other goodies:









o Next Internet Millionaire

Joel Comm's Next Internet Millionaire is now
running and proving to be very popular.

relationships, one of the most rewarding things is getting all
those affiliate checks arriving each month.


7. Aim For Residual Income

Make it your goal to market/promote products and companies
that pay residual income. You have to put in the same time
and effort to make the sale but with a residual sale it keeps
paying for months and years into the future. Make one sale and
receive residual income for the life of that client.

The most successful tactic here is to choose affiliate
programs that offer monthly services such as membership sites,
hosting services, business services, cable services... once
customers sign up for these ongoing services they usually keep
them for years. Building residual income is not a difficult feat
and can be one of the main sources of a steady passive income
for years to come. Imagine getting paid for a sale you made five
years ago.


To sum up, creating an online passive income is not a
difficult task but it usually takes some time and planning.
Instead of going for the quick fix, build up your sites and
affiliate relationships over the long term. You will achieve
a higher degree of success and in the process you will build
a much more secure and reliable source of passive income.

Take the slow road, you will get there much quicker!

years to see a steady income from my sites. Others
have done it quicker, but as I stated in the article

But it can be done and countless online marketers
are doing it.

all your sites set-up, all your autoresponders
follow-ups programmed, all your SEO work done...
the Internet will supply you with what seems like
an automatic income, month after month.

Anyway, if you are interested in creating and
setting-up your own automatic income, you can
check out the early bird page - it has a video,
report and other goodies:

o Still In Vacation Mode

Summertime is always the slowest time of
year for my sites - mainly because they deal
with online businesses or services. Everyone
is either on vacation or going on vacation.

Everything slows down in the summer.

Online marketing or anything dealing with
Internet Marketing usually drops a little in
the summer months, then picks up again around
Labor Day.

I am usually in vacation mode myself in the
summertime (casualty of being a former teacher)
- it's a time for relatives, cabin parties and
backyard BBQs... I don't work as hard in the
summer.

Ironically, the summer months are some of my
best months for online earnings and it has
mainly to do with 'back to school' sales.

I target this market with one section of my site
and it has proved extremely profitable. Since I
knew the Online marketing sector slows down,
I needed a niche market that's very active in
the summer months.

Back to School supplies (mainly laptops in my case)
are very good affiliate products to promote during
this time. All the major laptop makers have
'back to school' sales and promotions - you just
have to place these on your sites and the sales
pour in...

I mention all this because if you're an affiliate
marketer you must keep your targeted customers
in mind and take full advantage when buyers are
ready to buy.

The 'Back To School' market is a perfect example
when buyers are ready to buy... supply them with
a good bargain or deal thru your affiliate links
and you will make sales...

Even while you're on vacation!


o Setting Online Goals


We all have goals. We all set goals.

Some are short term, most are long term.
No matter what your goals are, achieving
them usually takes some effort on your part.

Just because it's the Internet or computers,
doesn't mean you don't have to do the work
or put in some serious learning time.

Most people don't put in the time. I know
this from first-hand experience, I have several
online guides showing people how to build
an opt-in list, how to set-up an online
automatic business... only around 5% ever
complete all the lessons.

Most people don't stick to one system and
complete it or put it into practice. This I
believe is the main reason, 95% of people trying
to earn an online fails. It is not because they
can't do it - it's because they give up on
a system or program before they and it has
a chance to work.

It took me three years before I started seeing
any decent results from my online marketing.
Most of that time was spent learning how
the online stuff works... I had to start
with learning HTML and go from there.

If I had stopped in those first years things
would have turned out very differently.

When I started my sites and affiliate marketing
years ago - my main goal was to make a full-time
living online. Make my living thru affiliate
commissions selling other people's stuff.

I have accomplished that goal.

It's the kind of lifestyle I wanted - I didn't
want the hassle of dealing directly with
customers, taking orders, shipping, customer
support... with affiliate marketing all those
things are taken care of for you... all you have
to do is find the leads or customers and send
them to the companies you're affiliated with
and let them do all the hard work!

If you practice something long enough, you
will get better at it! It's as simple as
that but you must stick to your game plan.

As I became a better affiliate marketer my own
goals started rising... one time I was very pleased
to make 100 bucks a day, now I am kinda disappointed
if I don't make 300 a day.

In Internet Marketing or affiliate marketing
terms this is small change... the major players
properly make that in an hour!

But it's the lifestyle I am after... not the
big bucks... I could easily make a lot more but
it would mean hiring employees and starting a
physical business. Right now all my dealings are
make in the virtual world and it's a one man
operation... if I wanted to really expand, I would
have to form an off-line business and this is not
the route I want to take.

I would also have to create my own marketing products
and sell them - that's another route I could take
to earn the really big bucks!

But we all have our own goals and objectives. We are
all searching for the lifestyle that suits us...
and affiliate marketing suits me to a tee!

I am extremely comfortable with affiliate marketing.
It has been the solution to finding an online
income which I can earn anywhere, anytime. If you're
interested in doing the same, I suggest you
read the following article.

I made a list of all the things you need to do
to succeed at affiliate marketing. I am sure there
are plenty more but these are my own starting
points. These have served me well, they can
do the same for anyone.

o Affiliate Marketing Guide To A Monthly Online Income
Copyright © 2007 Titus Hoskins


Creating an online affiliate marketing system which produces
a monthly income is relatively easy. With one catch, you
have to know exactly what you're doing and how the whole
online marketing system works. Figuring out all the details
can take you years to learn.

What the beginning webmaster or marketer doesn't realize
building a solid online business takes time and patience.
It is not done overnight, despite what the latest marketing
gurus are trying to sell you, it simply takes time and
a lot of hard work to build a solid online business.

First, you must have a basic understanding of how the
Internet works and the future role you will play in it.
You must understand the net is basically an extension
of the real world: it is an enormous virtual playground
as well as a vast storehouse of the world's collective
knowledge. But you must also understand the web is a
global marketplace unlike anything that has been seen
before on this planet.

If you want to be an affiliate marketer you must place
yourself or your site into this whole online environment.
As an affiliate marketer you must play some sort of role
in the transfer of information within this complex structure.

How?

Simply give surfers what they're looking for: information.

Supplying valuable, needed information is your key to
online affiliate success.

Here are some proven affiliate marketing strategies or tips
to get you started on your affiliate marketing career. Each
is a brief summation of some of the factors to keep in mind
as you create your own complex, yet simple, online marketing
system.


1. Acquiring Knowledge

Your first step is to acquire the basic skills and
knowledge needed to run an online site or business.
When I started I had to learn how to write HTML from
scratch and go from there... today there are many online
site builders and WYSIWYG editors to get you started.
Plus, you now have whole online site building systems
you can use - Ken Evoy's SBI comes readily to mind.

No matter which route you follow, you must understand how
an online site works, how to use keywords, how to create
valuable content and how to tie in your affiliate links
with this content... all this basic knowledge you must
acquire.


2. Get The Big Picture: Your Role - Your Content

You must fully understand your role in the whole
online affiliate marketing process. Your content
must be valuable to the Internet user, it must
offer information, solve a problem or offer a
special deal. There must be some reason why the
surfer will use your site to find what they're
looking for on the web. They must benefit in some
way from using your site.

Again, offering valuable, helpful information will
spell online affiliate success for you.


3. Build Your Foundation

You must have your own domain or domains. You must
create your own piece of virtual real estate that
you can build and gradually add to as you proceed.
Be wary of free sites. Don't rent, own your real
estate outright. Your sites will become your valuable
properties you will continue to build for years
to come.

When picking a domain name try to get as close as you
can to the main keyword or keyword phrase represented
by your site's topic. Use hyphens if you have to but
choose a name that is short and can be easily remembered
and typed directly into a browser.

As for site design and layout - a simple solution
is to use a blog format such as the free WordPress
software and host it on your own domain. Extremely
effective way of creating a full-powered content site
without having to worry about learning HTML code or
programing. You can have a website up and running
within minutes.


4. Know Your Partners & Their Products

As an affiliate marketer you will be selling other
people's stuff. You must get to know these future
partners and their marketing systems. Pick affiliate
products directly related to the topic of your site.
Something your visitors are interested in and would
likely purchase after you have supplied them with
valuable information about those products.

A good way to find potential products and partners is
to join the well established major affiliate networks
on the web. These networks represents most of the Top 500
Companies in the world. Affiliate networks like Commission
Junction, LinkShare, Amazon, ClickBank, Shareasale...
these networks have been around for years and offer
excellent payment structures and commission rates.


5. Long Tail Keyword Marketing

Develop content and high rankings for long tail keyword
phrases related to your site's topic. These are some of
the least competitive keywords yet they will also prove
to be the most lucrative for you. Find the long tail
keywords within your niche and exploit them. Using exact
brand names of the affiliate products you're promoting
make for effective long tail keywords.

Consistently use and develop this long tail keyword
strategy and you will succeed at affiliate marketing.



6. Build Your One-Way Links

Take a pro-active approach to link building. Don't sit
around waiting for links, instead go out and get them.
Use your keyword anchor links in the resource box of your
articles. Distribute these articles to all the major
article directories... make sure Ezinearticles.com,
Goarticles.com, ArticleAlley.com... are on your list.

Recommend products that you use, make forum posts,
create viral videos, join social media sites, offer
a free newsletter and build your own subscriber base,
create follow-up autoresponder series on the major
products you promote... these are all ways of creating
traffic and customers.


7. Embrace Google But Don't Ignore the Others

Embrace Google as if your affiliate marketing life
depended on it - chances are it will be!

Google is the search engine that you must optimize for
if you want your site to really succeed online. Don't
ignore the others, but Google has become the most
popular search engine in the world and even accounts
for 50% of all the searches made in the USA. (comScore)

So short of a brown-nose, do everything you can to please
Google. The rewards are worth it. Whether you're a Google
fan or not, Google has gained the trust and respect of
the majority of Internet users. Getting a top 10 placement
for your targeted keywords will often mean money in the bank.


8. Be Aware Of The Social Media Revolution

Be aware the Internet is constantly changing and in the
next few years everything will be turned topsy-turvy. We
are talking about the growing popularity of user-generated
content sites such as MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, Digg,
Technorati...

Stay within the flow by making sure any site you create
has a blog and RSS feed attached to it. Make sure all
your content can be easily bookmarked in all these
different social bookmarking sites. One simple solution
is to use the easy bookmarking system supplied by
Addthis.com, place their code on your content pages
and let your visitors bookmark your content for you
in all these different media sites.

9. Model It

In art one of the best ways to learn is to model
or copy the masters. You learn by seeing how
someone else has approached and solved a problem
and then use their model or example. In affiliate
marketing, one of the best ways to learn is to
copy or model your business on one that has already
been proven to work.

This is NOT literal copying of a site or business
but simply modeling your own business on an existing
example that works. Same structure, same marketing
techniques, same principles... building your affiliate
business on an existing mold or model is a wise
route to take if you want to succeed.


10. Be Patient For Results

Building a viable online affiliate business takes some
time so be patient. If you're building a content rich
site and targeting specific keywords it can take months,
sometimes even years, before you obtain significant
results. So have long term goals in place and expect
plenty of hard work before you reap the real rewards.

Just remember becoming a full time online affiliate
marketer is well within anyone's reach. However, like
most things in life, the journey is always much more
enjoyable than your final destination. Many of you will
probably discover, like I did, that 'the reach is the
grasp'. Actually doing something is the main reward,
all those monthly affiliate checks are just pleasant
aftershocks. Very nice aftershocks that add up very
quickly into a healthy monthly online income!
