2009 – Year Of Systems, iPhone Apps, WordPress, Start-Ups, Twitter, FaceBook, ShortURLs And Clouds

Happy 2010 To One And All!

Have you made your resolutions as how to make this year even better than 2009? If you have, that’s good, and do remember to take action and make it happen. If you have not, it’s still not too late – just remember to write it down somewhere visible (don’t just think through) and get things done!

A Look Back To 2009

Back at the start of last year, I made a blog post on what I have viewed 2009 and guess most of what I have predicted came true! I made a prediction that most marketing guides will still be for newbies (I am right on that), and that there will be lots of hu-has on the mobile industry (iphone has lots of application) and that social media has taken to new heights!

So let’s look into depth on, what I have listed on my blog title, that have made up 2009!

Marketing With Systems

2009 is the year where most online marketers introduced their “self-made” system, e.g. a step-by-step system that a certain marketer has developed from scratch to finding a niche (weight-loss, dog training, golf swings), create or promote an affiliate product around it and made a lot of money around it! You can do it too when you have the similar systems.

My personal feel for this in year 2010

More of such will still be in the market. Do these systems really work? Yes they do! But the fact that more will still be released because of the fact that many beginners lack the discipline to going through the systems and create their own. So I believe 2010 may be the year may most marketers may create “ready-made” systems whereby most will just need to load, modify and they are ready to go.

iPhone/SmartPhone Applications – The Year For Developers And The $0.99 Price Tag

2009 is a crazy year for iphone. Many people insist on having it. There are elders (in Singapore) who know nuts of using an iphone but insist of having one. It’s that crazy. So why is it the year for iphone – it’s the simplicity of using it. You want more out of iphone - just go to itunes and add applications from it.

That’s why this is the year for developers and also the popularity of the $0.99 price tag for most applications.

How To Run Your Online *Fill-In-The-Blank* Like A Real Business – Part 1 of 2

Note: To read the headline properly, the “fill-in-the-blank” can be area of your expertise like Home-Based Business, Affiliate Marketing (very lucrative), CPA Marketing (very common) or simply Online Marketing (e.g creation of your own product and selling it)

I have been reading up quite a number of books these few days on online entrepreneurship and in a few of the reads, the authors share the common system or beliefs on how to run your marketing like a real business (like those of big companies like Amazon or even Microsoft) and I have decided to sum them up in this post (in a 2 part series) and you can use them as your general guideline or process:

In this First Part, I will be sharing on the Mindset, and the Planning Strategies you can take on:

1. The Mindset

There’s been statistics being done and it’s found that more than 95% of people who are doing some sort of marketing or in a business have the mindset of “wishing” to succeed.

In other words, majority are not serious in what they are doing. It’s more of a hit-and-run in achieving results. It’s only when there’s many of those random successes that will convert a percentage of these people into those with the mindset of “must” succeed.

So what can you do today to make a small change?

• Be 100% focused in whatever you are doing – you can be doing many things at a time, but as long as you are committed and you are focused enough to do through it – you will make it there!
• Make it a Priority in your life. A general reference for the guys on how to make priority a possibility – it’s the same when you are determined and are persisted enough to trying to chase your dream girl. For the ladies – it’s the same when you want that branded bag and you can go on diet, scrimp and save just to get it. If you can have the same spirit for in your area of marketing – you will be amazed of the results!

Once you have the Mindset right, you are thinking like an Online Entrepreneur and are ready to move on to the Planning Stage:

2. Decide On The Marketing Strategies You Will Use

Going Viral Tweet Tweet On Twitter Online System And ViralTweet

Recently I posted a tweet on twitter that there seems to be a trend of some online marketers are creating viral tweet scripts and system to help increase the number of followers to any twitter account (literally More Followers = More Exposure, agree?).

Some of these online marketers who created some amazing viral twitter script and systems are

• Ryan Wade with The Viral Tweets Script
• Xavier Media with the Twitter Followers Script
• Derrick VanDyke with the TwitterListBuilder
• and Alvin Phang with his Twitter Online System

A Brief History Of These Twitter Scripts And System

The first script that I came across was the Viral Tweets Script created by Ryan Wade and amazingly it caught my attention.

Why so? This script played to the potential of adding followers to the twitter account of the creator and at the same time spreading a message that contains an affiliate link to the script and at the same time creating curiosity towards the product. Truly an effective viral marketing move!

Next came about the Twitter Online System created by Alvin Phang of GatherSuccess.com. Apparently the system worked wonders for him and increased his May 2009 earnings of US$6,228.75 to US$30,516.29 In June 2009. So, who says you can’t make good money online? Alvin Phang has proven this very well!

What You Can Learn From Jimmy D Brown’s Affiliatenaire For Your Affiliate Marketing

Without a doubt, Affiliate Programs are now one of the common ways that you and I can make use of to make good money online.

With so many programs and affiliate network out there, you can literally be signed up as an affillate in less than 5 minutes and to start promoting. Simply fill up, submit, receive an email, and you are ready to go! Rinse and repeat!

Erm… What Is An Affiliate Program or Affiliate Marketing?

Though common as it is now, I do understand there are some who are still very new with internet marketing and may not know what is an Affiliate Program.

And as explained in simple terms by one of my internet marketing mentors, Jimmy D. Brown, who has just released and reopened his Affiliate Marketing Learning Program - Affiliatenaire.com, Affiliate Marketing is simply an agreement in an affiliate program between a vendor and you (an affiliate) in which the vendor agrees to pay you, as the affiliate, a commission for referrals generated through your efforts to promote a uniquely assigned tracking link.

If you are still unclear, it simply work in this manner:

1. You join an affiliate program (e.g. ClickBank) through their signup process. (Free)
2. You are immediately assigned a unique affiliate tracking link.
3. You promote the affiliate tracking link in a variety of ways like Pay-Per-Click, Article Marketing, Forum Marketing, Blogging, Twittering and many other ways.
4. You earn commissions on orders generated through your promotion.

If That’s So Simple, Does It Mean I will Be Making Good Money Online With Affiliate Marketing Soon?

The Reality Of Affiliate Marketing

As you will learn from Jimmy D. Brown’s Affiliatenaire, there are already 50 gazillion other people out there (still increasing) doing the exact same thing you are doing or plan to do – if you could remember what it is that you are doing. These are the reasons why eventually, some affiliates succeed and some fail, a reason why some affiliates profit moderately and some affiliates profit substantially.

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.
