Mining the Internet
If you are a beginning Internet Marketer and are flat broke, I feel the best way
to start marketing is through the payperclick search engines. Before I came
out with my own products and started paying a thousand dollars or more
placing Ezine ads, I built my entire business on payperclick bidding.
I'm convinced anyone else can do this also. The truth is, products never sell,
traffic sells. But you still want to promote programs that meet certain criteria.
These are:
1. Look for programs that pay your over $50.00 per sale.
OR
Search for programs that pay you $10.00 per month or more in residual income.
One customer is worth $1,200.00 to you in 10 years.
2. Look for products to promote that don't have more than one or two external
links to other programs. If you're going to pay good money to send people to a
web site, at least make sure you're sending them to a functional money funnel,
not a funnel with 50 holes.
3. Look for products with limited ordering options. You don't want to send
people to a site if you only get credit when they pay by credit card, and lose
people because the site also accepts payment via PayPal (most people don't
know how to integrate PayPal with their current affiliate software) or some
other payment method.
4. Try to find sales sites (Buy, Bookmark, or Leave sites).
Finding Programs to Promote:
above. It will take some digging, but they are there. Think of yourself as a
marketing predator on a treasure hunt.
Let's say you're promoting treadmills, for example.
Now, you want to find as many applicable keywords as you can relating to
treadmills. You can find lists of keyword variations for treadmills or any
button at the top.
Now, you can do keyword searches and find every variation of the word
treadmill. Save all your keywords in a text file.
Place bids at all the major payperclick
search engines you can think of. Here
are some.
http://www.overture.com I
recommend submitting about 25 daily by hand.
This one will be tough to list keywords with. They are very critical but they will
bring you the most leads.
http://www.findwhat.com Also delivers GREAT traffic
http://www.searchandconquer.com This one is Free
http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com Here's more!
The key to making huge profits with payperclick
search engines is to bid on
as many keywords as possible. Bidding on 1,000 keywords, for example, is like
getting 1,000 links back to your web site!
POWER TIP: When submitting your listings, ALWAYS put the price. You
want everyone who clicks through to your site to be prepared to break out their
wallet. If you don't, you'll get killed by the freebie seekers every single time.
So let's say you submitted 350 keywords relating to treadmills or health to
EACH of the search engines above. All totaled, they give you a combined 150
click throughs per day. Lets assume only one out of every 300 people purchases
because this is a high ticket item.
If you sell one treadmill and make $150.00 per sale that's one sale every two
days. If your average bid is 10 cents per lead, it's costing you $30.00 in
advertising to make $150.00. So each month you could average $1,800.00 from
just this one product in net profit. This is called doing the math.
So what do you do now? Try to find five products like this. If a company/web
site doesn't have an affiliate program setup, try calling them and asking if you
could strike a special deal with them. Tell them you can guarantee to send them
highly qualified traffic if they can create a system to make sure you get properly
compensated. Every company wants to move their products, so you'll be
surprised how cooperative many of them will be with you.
"You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate."
The beautiful part of this marketing technique is that after you set up one
income stream using this method, and you've tested it and it's working, you can
start on another one. You can promote one or 100 programs. You can literally
set your own desired income this way.
Late last year I was earning close to $3,000.00 each month doing this before my
other products were launched. I've promoted everything from Viagra to
treadmills and even a casino site, so I speak from experience. I could have made
A LOT MORE if I had kept doing this and hadn't gotten sidetracked with other
projects.
Plus, by doing this, you build relationships with the owners of these programs
most of the time. Next thing you know, you have a network of people you're
working with. If you follow this article closely you'll be drawing more targeted
traffic to programs you promote than most of the high traffic sites that just have
a simple link to the product in question.
Yes, there's work involved in this AT FIRST, but it's the most guaranteed
doable marketing technique I personally know of. I'm certain this is a technique
anyone can do that wants to earn some extra money and needs a few more
paychecks coming in.
It's a “set it and forget it” technique. Once you're earning your desired income,
you literally do nothing and collect multiple paychecks each month! The traffic
comes in automatically.
Once you start making enough money with the payperclick
search engines,
you can invest some of this money in your own idea or business on the Internet
that you want to start, or simply take the easy way out and make more and more
money promoting other people's programs.
As the Internet matures in the next few years, there will be more and more
companies offering solid moneymaking opportunities to experienced resellers
(not just Internet marketing, but in every field imaginable), so do your
homework and learn this stuff now. You can spend the night watching TV, or
do a bit of work and collect an extra paycheck next month. The choice as
always is yours. Good luck and remember, traffic sells!
