God’s Word = The Next Big Thing In Affiliate Marketing?

Disclaimer: this post has something to do with Religion and the Bible… if you are uncomfortable with the content (my apologies), you may wish to leave this site, else do enjoy how God’s Word can help you with your affiliate marketing business.

The Nature Of The Affiliate Marketing Business

Affiliate Marketing can have its ups and downs at times.

When the time is good, you get to see lots of traffic to your site and lots of commission going into your bank account; When the time is bad, you grumbled and started to say all the negative things to yourself and you start to turn to professional internet marketing services (ebooks, mentoring) for better guidance and inspirations to help you in your affiliate marketing business. You are doing this with the hope that things will turn out better!

What If God Is An Internet Marketer?

The Bible - courtesy of sxc.hu

If God is an internet marketer today, God’s Word (The Bible) will be the all-time top selling product and the affiliate marketers can be sure that they will stand to profit much! God will be the mentor that you can turn to for all the online marketing advice.

Why Is That So?

If you have a Bible with you right now, I will be doing some reference to some of the Bible verses, that can be quite relevant to the nature of our online business. How you will be reading in the following lines will be:

• The normal stuff you’ll say to yourself when times are bad and are going against you!
• What is the advice that God will give to you?
• Where to refer to, in your bible, for that actual advice!

Are You Ready? Let’s go!

Review Sites, Squidoo and Hubpages Are Everywhere

It’s scary to know that Review Sites, Squidoo and Hubpages are all over the Search Engine Results…

If you do not know what are Review Sites, Squidoo Lens and Hubpages all about - they are simply the commonly used marketing methods now to promote personally reviewed affiliate products. Review Sites can exist in the form of a blog, just like this, whereas Squidoo Lens and Hubpages are normally one page recommendations.

To put that in acutal context, are you currently keeping yourself updated with all the latest releases of online marketing resources?

If you are, you should have noted that there are a few current big releases like Commission Blueprint, Secret Affiliate Code 2 and the Continuity Blueprint.

When products of such are released, affiliate marketers are very busy and the owners are getting happier. Affiliate Marketers are busy with creating Review Sites, Squidoo Lens and Hubpages and planting them with all their personal bonuses, hoping to get as much commission as possible. The owners will be laughing to the bank because of the efforts of these hardworking marketers.

Do you want proof of these pages in the Search Engine? See this when I did a search for Secret Affiliate Code 2:

Seven Little Ways To Give Values Back In Affiliate Marketing

The whole economy is in turmoil, stock markets don’t seem to have the energy to climb up and more people are keeping their money under the pillow than with banks.

When I first started knowing how to do business as a 19 years old kiddo and playing my part serving the nation, the first business model that I came across was the Network Marketing model or known to many as Multi-Level Marketing. To many, they still prefer to call it Pyramid Scheme Selling.

My few encounters with the model are that this business model will withstand the ups and downs of the market. Nonetheless, after so many years (8 years and counting…) of not getting involved in it, my former companies are still doing very much well and better than before even in this current times of financial turmoil.

The one reason that I can think of of being sustainable in that business is that - the business gives value back to the clients. Once the clients appreciate the value they have received, they return and the repeat business starts.

So if I based it in a Formula, it will be Value => Repeated Business => Money => Sustainability.

Now if we focus on the topic of value that an affiliate marketing or internet marketing business can offer, do you think this business model is sustainable as well, in any market situations?

The blog income report for the month of September for both John Chow and Alvin Phang are out, and their results (income) are amazing. I am glad to mention that both individuals are successful bloggers and internet marketers who give true value back, every time, to their readers. Am I also one of those individuals that give back value to you? You are my best judge!

So How Can We Give Value In Affiliate Marketing?

Case Study: Zoomii and Amazon Web Services

I was reading my online newspaper site a few days ago and I came across one corner article sharing the “Website Of The Day” and that article was featuring Zoomii.com - an online bookstore featuring all the books (almost) on Amazon.com.

Also I shared with you back then my posting on “Are You Using Amazon Web Services Technology?” So happen, this site is related to what I have posted.

And for you, this is another real case study that you as an affiliate marketers or budding entrepreneurs can use as an effective business blueprint.

So let’s take a good look into this “lucrative” business model:

1. The creator of the site has a passion for books and goes to a bookstore often. This is a niche market for him. What passion do you have that can be translated to a business?
2. This is not a new online bookstore that’s trying to compete with Amazon.com. Rather this is a collaboration and a win/win situation for both. The creator of the site is an affiliate of Amazon Associates Program. Any sales of the books will give him a commission and a good sales relationship with Amazon.com. Ideal Affiliate Marketing!
   
3. Gone are the days of deep programming… Why so? This site is hosted on Amazon Web Services - the EC2 and S3 services. If you are interested in using some of the products and services that Amazon.com is offering and will like to save time on creating a storefront (not the same as Zoomii.com). Check out this link: http://solutions.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=1260
4. With revolutionizing technologies like FireFox 3 (loading speed) and the iPhone (the site has a few similar interface) - you do not have to worry about issues like the “site is lagging and taking donkey years to load”. What does this mean to you - you are not alone online. Whatever plans you may have for your “next big thing”, there are ready technologies that you can tap into.
5. Making Better Money Online is faster than before. This site is just more than a month old and many are already picking up the existence of such a site. What this will mean is that if you have a feasible idea or a good affiliate product to promote - work on it, as soon as possible, and let the internet and the media pick them up for you!

There you go! So for all the affiliate marketers and entrepreneurs out there… work on your products and marketing today and make better money! And for all book-lovers out there, you have another bookstore to go to today, not the physical one but the online Zoomii.com.

Google Is Releasing Numbers For Your Keywords Research

Google - the big Daddy of search engine, has just upgraded their Keyword Research Tool and I am liking it!

Some of my uses for Google Keyword Research Tool

I like to follow the success of some of the famous blogs like Alvin Phang’s GatherSuccess, John Chow and Carlo Cab.

By using the Google Keyword Research Tool, you can roughly gauge which keywords Google is ranking them in the search engine.

Next, after you know the keywords, you can follow their Posting Style, how they post and get ranked.

Then you can do your own routine research for your own blog to see which keywords are slowly being picked up by Google.

Google Keyword Research Tool - The Past

I must say, the Google Keyword Research Tool is a very handy tool indeed. After a few months of blogging and trying my hands on “making money online”, now my blog is being picked up by these keywords. *Pat on my back*

Definitely, putting my blog into this genre, is like a continuous battle of who is the best online money maker.

So using the Old Google Keyword Research Tool only tell you which are the keywords being picked up but you do not know which is the best keyword (= blogging direction) to use as what you see, are just colored bar.

Google Keyword Research Tool - The Present

With the recent upgrade by Google, I am seeing a grin on my face. Why? As you can see below:

Google is showing numbers! Now not only do you have the information of which are the keywords being picked up, you can now slowly narrow down to better research stuff like:

• The Same - Which Keywords are low in Advertiser Competition (meaning keywords not being widely used)
• The New - The Approximate Search Volume for last month and overall. This information can let you know the growing trend of keywords and which is the better choice.

This new feature is also widely raved about by successful internet marketers in terms of Affiliate Marketing. They are happy that now they can know which keywords they can use for their Adwords or Pay-Per-Click campaign without being in heavy competitions with others.

So if you are into Keyword Research, enjoy this new feature by Google Keyword Research Tool.

Review: Eric Rockefeller’s The Affiliate Conspiracy

Been a long while since I have done a review after my new-found job.

There have been much rave on Eric Rockefeller’s Affiliate Conspiracy program and therefore I decide to get my hands on it.

Basically these are the range of items you’ll be getting with your investment of $97:

The Four Steps System as devised by Eric Rockefeller, namely:

• Step #1: Three Bonus Review Templates that you can use to promote any items - just replace with your own words and you are done!
• Step #2: Five Bonus Quick Start Videos that can help you to make better use of those free promotional methods like Blogger, Squidoo Lens, Hubpages, how to install a wordpress blog and Private Label Rights products.
• Step #3: Three Guides to better understanding of Adwords, how to maintain good relationship with your mailing list and the Affiliate Conspiracy Report.
• Step #4: A whole chunks of videos like how Eric Rockefeller works his business, his approach to Adwords, the range of research tools he uses, how to use Direct Linking, and lastly what he promises: - The Three Niches that he is using to make his money.

My Personal Experience:

The three review templates are of good design quality and even has the feature to help you in building your mailing list. The use of these templates is to help you to promote your affiliate products with your review summary. The only flaw I feel is that if there are many people who bought this package, there will be too many “of the same stuff” planted on the internet.

If you want to make good use of the template, be prepared to set it up and forget.

For the Quick Start Videos wise, my opinion is that there are already too many of these videos. Just do a search on YouTube and you can get many good videos! If you do not believe, click on the links below:

• Videos on Squidoo Lens
• Videos on Hub Pages

Like wise, if you are just starting out, these videos will help you to grasp better understanding from an expert point of view but since it’s free with your investment, take this chance to refresh your understandings.

For the guides, I have roughly gone through The Affiliate Conspiracy Report. The Content is a bit disheartening. Why? It’s really like the same information that many internet marketers are providing in their products. Information like what is Affiliate Marketing all about, find a thirsty market and provide a solution and so forth. You get what I mean right?

Lastly for the Videos, or as claimed as the Core System Videos. Frankly speaking, after going through the guides, templates and quick start videos, I was already having a bit of buyer’s remorse. To go on or not… I am having second thoughts…

But, curiosity always kill the cat. No harm going on and see if there are certain gems worth scavenging. My grumpy face suddenly lights up a little smile.

It’s the Direct Linking Technique and the rest of the Niches Videos that caught my interest. Why? Because these videos are created to hold your hands and show you how to make everything works.

If you have read this post of mine:

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

You can practically learn how to do the same - how to clone your affiliate pages, add in a landing page and promote using Adwords - no longer with just reading words in a guide and scratching your head on how to start but rather real-time actions in a video. Simply follow as it’s shown.

This is what I believe that make this product stands out.

If you are contemplating as to whether should you lay your hands on this program - consider if you have other programs/videos/guides that are offering the same information - if yes, look on for other products.

Else, if you want to follow how a successful internet marketer work his business and look behind his shoulder on the exact steps to start a profit-making affiliate program - not just plain reading. Then you should get this program.

Why Working From Home, Making Money Online and Being Your Own Boss Will Always Be My Best Options

Wow, been a good Four Days interval since I last posted something here, seems like I have been ignoring my blog (and some others) and my readers for quite some time.

Therefore, my really sincere apologies! Very sorry!

The reason for the lack of consistent posting has been due to my “new rat-race job - as a salaried insurance consultant”, the nature of the job is like an admin + sales job,  subjecting me to a routine-liked schedule and energy-draining work environment.

After a long day of work, you simply have no mood to stare another computer screen. And if you have a bad day (especially in a sales environment - all the rejections) you will have even no mood to do anything else. The bed simply becomes your new best friend!

That brings me to my topic: “Working From Home, Making Money Online and Being Your Own Boss Will Always Be My Best Options”

I must admit, I choose a salary job because of insecurities - Monthly repayments for my University Loans and My Mum’s hospitalization bills.

As a start-up or online entrepreneur, there are still some uncertainties - the main worry will be that you’ll never know when is your next pay-day!

But the pay-off will definitely be better than any rat-race job => Freedom, More Energy and More Money!

Therefore it’s never too late to start anything especially if you are in the same shoes as me.

For a start now, I have started this blog to share my interests in the online marketing world - all the marketing methods and products that many successful marketers have created to teach you and me on how to make good money online.

I am also learning now on how to balance my work-life and my personal development to becoming my own boss.

I have also decided that the world of Affiliate Marketing, Internet Marketing and Network Marketing are some of the good options that I have came across and that you and me can definitely work from home, make money online and be your own boss and definitely escape the rat race.

If you and me share the same interests and goals, let’s make the internet a better place and help many others to have a better life!

If you have any good suggestions on how to improve or your personal experiences (other than spam comments), please share with me!
