Explaining The What, Why and How To Your Worthy Readers Or Clients

Part of what you need to do in online marketing is writing good advertisements (or blog posts) to promote your products or services.

If you are promoting an affiliate product and using the Ads provided by the vendor - my suggestion is to stop using or to modify the major bulk of content provided to your writing style. The reason is that you are not the only affiliate promoting the products so don’t let the duplicate content affect your search engine ranking.

So if you feel that you are not good in writing your own advertisement or product reviews, here is a worthy guide that you can follow when you are writing your next money-making advertisement. This guide is adapted from a book by Jeffrey Gitomer - Little Green Book of Getting Your Way: How to Speak, Write, Present, Persuade, Influence, and Sell Your Point of View to Others (Jeffrey Gitomer’s Little Books).

Your Guide To Writing A Worthy Advertisement

When your worthy readers, subscribers or clients open your next email or on a search link to one of your blog posts with an advertisement or product review promoting your “next big product”, most of these people have one thing in common thinking - they’re skeptical and will start to consider whether the next 2 minutes are worth their reading and further exploring to what you are offering.

They have a lot of questions in their mind that they hope they will be able to get an answer from your posting. Questions like:

• What is this product or service that you are offering to me? Try to explain the product in few words. If you have to explain the main benefit in a lengthy paragraph - you’ve killed your readers!
• Why will this product or service work for me (this time or as compared to other competitors’ similar products)?
• Why do you want me to do this (use this product)? You can explain that the techniques of yester-years are no longer valid and this product are inline with the latest.
• What are you trying to accomplish? This question may sound weird, and a typical answer is you want to make money, this will be a no-no. Rather you can make use of this advertisement to promote yourself as a professional. Remember provide value first! Money will come later!
• What will this mean to me (after using this product)? Remember to highlight the benefits like e.g. saving time in running your online business and having more time for your family and yet still having a better income than before.
• How will this effect me (as compared to before)? You can talk about the technical features of your products like e.g. being able to automate the contents so that your website always look updated.
• How do I win? Humans are competitive in nature and do not wish to lose out to others. Highlight your most important benefit that will make your readers (make them imagine) feel that they are going to be the next winner!

There you go.

These are the common questions that one may have. If you can think of more, feel free to adapt and expand on this guide. You may also realize that by answering most of these questions in your advertisment - you may get a lengthy post. So the next challenge for yourself is if you can shorten your writing by emphazizing on the essence of what you want to offer.

How To Gauge If You Are A Pro In Your Niche

Do you read over the past posts (advice and suggestions) in your blog or do you know what you have ever posted 1 year down the road?

One of the advice that many successful markters will give to new online marketers will be to concentrate on your niche and blog often on that niche.

And, to be able to blog often, you have to learn how to give advice and suggestions in your blogging. From there onwards, you will slowly build up your traffic and subscribers. That’s where you also build your fame and can result in good monetary sense. Agree?

So one of the ways to gauge, I believe, whether you are a professional or expert in your niche is if you do read what you have posted and most importantly using what you have posted as a reference.

For example, I have ever written a post on how to write articles to drive sales and traffic and articles, as many marketers would strongly recommend, article marketing is one of the good tools to use in your online business. So whenever I do write an article and I want to use a good template to gauge - I can use my post as a reference.

So what does this mean to you and to others? Simply put, if you preach what you says and use what you know, other marketers will pick it up and have better perception of you as a professional in your niche.

Remembering, blogging is not just posting for others to enjoy. Blogging what you know, can be a good reference for your own as well.

Learn from what you have posted and you can be a better professional!

If You Can Clone, You Can Be A Super Affiliate For Butterfly Reports As Well!

I’ll like to share a marketing tip that one Super Affiliate is doing to help get more people to join Butterfly Reports through his affiliate link, which you can do so for other membership programs that will pay you.

I will try to narrate the situation to you through my “imaginary friend - Mr. Cake”

Hi everybody, I’m Mr. Cake! A little brief introduction about myself before I tell you the story of how I still get duped to joining Butterfly Reports and you can have the last laugh!

An introduction about me is that - I know all of you marketers out there are always hungry for many innocent people like me to join or buy through many of your affiliate links. I MUST tell you - I am not a no-brainer! If I am to buy something - I’ll rather buy the stuff directly from the main site and not through any of those “cloaked”, “disguised”, “Your website recommends” link… Yucks! I know all the tricks up your sleeve! And yes, I also do know about the cookie being stuck in my computer system!

Despite my haughtiness, I must admit there are still many good internet marketers who know this trade inside out and have many mysterious tricks in store - and that’s how I manage to get duped into joining Butterfly Reports system through an affiliated link.

My good friend and buddy here, Dexter, has posted many good posts promoting his link for Butterfly Reports. I stick to my principles and refuse to join through his link. (He hates for me that!) I know this system is good and never too late to get in! So I decided to do a search for “Butterfly Reports” on Google and this is what I got:

You can see that the first link is the actual link to the Main Site. I have clicked before Dexter’s Link and somehow I know his affiliate cookie is in my system. So no-no! Squidoo… It’s just another promotion page with an affiliate link. So a big No! Ok… How about the third link? Butterfly.org? Hmmm… and there is a blog linking to this domain name. Could be Mike Filsaime protecting his product trademark and have gotten a new domain extension to promote, together with his blog. Worth clicking… (high chances of no cookie as well!)

This is the new site I’ve clicked.

Looks the same as per the actual main site. No affiliate links in sight. How about clicking the tabs to learn more…? What, No access! Mike is good and evil! Fine with me! I’ve read enough to know what is Butterfly Reports all about. I am ready to join! Ok, one last test to go. Any affiliate links within the “Register Here” link? Nope… Seems normal to me! So here goes… I am clicking the link!

So here I am, the link is different from before (which looks like “http://www.butterflyreports.com/axz/”). I am at the main site but deeper inside. Ready Information and a link for me to sign up! Which I did!

So this is the boo-boo which you can start laughing off because when I click on”Register Here” link from Butterfly.org, that link contains the Super Affiliate’s link! I end my story and will leave Dexter to explain what has happened!

Thanks, Buddy Cake! So what has happened is simple:

1. The Super Affiliate has actually cloned (getting a .org and copying the source code) and make it 30% different to the actual site - same header graphics and layout but a bit more information.
2. As mentioned, this site is still in Beta. Mike Filsaime could be split-testing his site for results or this site belongs to Rod Beckwith.
3. The other links are not working because the sign-up and marketing system is at the main .com site and repeating the same information may just affect your SEO ranking.
4. When you click on the Register Here, the affiliate link is masked well within, not the usual cloaking or “website recommends”
5. Also the existence of a blog can sometimes justify that this site is being updated constantly.
6. Lastly, promotions are everywhere. Any individuals can simply gather enough information through the emails to know what is Butterfly Reports all about. Joining is a matter of time but a matter of “whose link to join” so in this case of disillusion wins!

If you like this special marketing tip of cloning your money making affiliate programs, you can give me a simple reward of joining through by clicking on the banner or my link.

How To Write Articles to Drive Sales and Traffic

If you are into the Internet And Affiliate Marketing Scene long enough, you will know from many Gurus that you definitely need to use Article Marketing to help drive sales and traffic to whatever you are promoting…

I heard of that as well… but before I start to write my first few articles… i was thinking.. and I kept thinking… then I came to this conclusion… “oh how the heck do I start writing?”

First solution:

There are a few good courses/e-books/even seminars/software/Ghost Writers that will help you to start writing your first article Do consider that an investment is needed before there are any results seen.

Second solution:

The lazy man method. Using Private Label Rights. What this mean is that you get rights to articles that are already written. You can do whatever you want with it. Change a few words in it, and that piece is originally yours!

The negative side, is definitely, the investment needed to get the Rights, and how good you are with your language to format your articles. Also, these rights are available easily, what you can get, many others can get it as well. Outcome = you can get penalize by the Search Engines for not being Original. (tough being an online marketer eh??)

The Last Crucial Method:

Learn from many of those who have written articles. Jimmy D. Brown and Marlon Sanders for instance, have written many good and worth-the-learn articles and they are flooded out there in the ezine directories waiting for you. There are also many other Gurus out there. Investment is free but time and effort is very needed! That’s what I did!

As you are reading this, I want to tell you that you can save a bit of the investment (time, money and effort) because, as a form of giving back to the community, I want to share with you a generalized format that Gurus use to write their articles…

Targeted Traffic Using Press Release

Press Release or part of Article Marketing, is one of the many techniques Internet Marketers are using to help bring targeted traffic back to your site and at the same time make yourself the expert in your field, if you constantly use this method.

If you have no idea of what a Press Release or also known as News release is, it’s basically a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having news value. (source from Wikipedia)

Some of these news media that most online marketers are using, you may have guessed it, the Search Engines - Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask and much more. Of course, Google being the Famous and Effective, in terms of using long-tail Keywords.

Google may not be the best choice as well, as depended on individual preferences. I do know of Friends who refuse to touch or know anything on Google.

The skills that you will need is that you really have to know your industry well enough and next, the ability to write good article with lots of newsworthy information on what you want to share and also good keywords linking you with the News Media and your site.

Here are some common steps to start using Press Release:
