Introduction to myself, I’m a retired from work married man of 38 years
I’m a writer of blog articles and press releses at IBOtoolbox
I enjoy listen to assorted music, 50’s -60’s 70’s 80’s and classical, love Johann Strauss II waltzes – some well know Opera, even though I don’t understand the words
Why am I blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
Answer: I wanted to share my aquired knowldge with others
You keep trying to get started making money online, only to get more frustrated with all those exaggerated adverts and emails, that claim “Push button simple” or “Done for you” systems
If everything I had downloaded or installed were to be real bulky items, my computer would be bursting at the seams, battered like this one below
It seems like there is nothing that lives up to the promises that are made, that’s the way I felt
Until I came across BABO, (build a biz online) which turn out to be outstanding value for such a small monthly fee
In return provided a wide assortment of helpful tools, including an autoresponder for Pro+ members, ready built splash pages (easy adaptable to suit whatever you are promoting)
Along with all of the above there is support and a text chat feature
Even affiliate marketers can make use of this wonderful site, without having to own a website!
Join through my link and I will pay for you first month, plus provide useful Free gifts
If you were asked, which would you prefer, Money or Information?
I expect most viewers to that question would say MONEY
After all that’s why I started online in the first place, you may add
I have to agree, as making money was my only reason for coming online, but it turns out making money online is Not as easy as it seems, unlike all those flashy adverts
Offering Instant riches or Push button simple systems, which you can’t gain access to until you enter you details, to gain the requested information
One of the reasons I started my Free information website, was provide Noe cost information
Not that I don’t also add adverts on my site that require personal information, as this hopefully may lead to support the running cost of my site
While money is much sort after, I now think that Information is of Higher value
As the value of actual money rises and falls frequently, even within a day
You only have to look at price of food these days, compared to only a few years back
Let alone more expensive items such as cars and petrol to run them
Whereas Information can increase in value, by teaching you something you don’t know “How to Do” or guiding you into a new and potential profitable skill
Information can also guide you away from scams, or unprofitable ventures
The actual process of learning from information, can boost your brain power, both capacity and memory, and may stave of the effects of Alzheimer’s
Never stop Learning, by keeping your mind Active and thirsting for new information
While the title and explanation of what is offered may sound very appealing
Through many emails and advert when online, I have come across many variations of so called “Done for You” systems
One common feature apart from the eye-catching title, is the main reason behind offer
Which in most case has been acquiring names and email addresses (building a marketing list) which they are then able recommend (sell other iems to anyone on their list
The common feature has been those who offer “Done for You” system is affiliated linked to whatever they are promoting, within the “Done for You” system”
So, for them it’s a “Win – Win” situation for them, they get to build their list and get others working for them, increasing their chances of becoming a super affiliate, and therefore increased income
The 100% Done for You, is a nonsense statement, as even if you join of one these “100% Done for You” systems and gain money, you will have Done some WORK, therefore you have deleted at least one percentage off that 100% that was supposed to do everything for you
You may have even tried it with or without success., affiliate marketing is a fantastic way to earn a income which can turn into a passive income.
In fact, many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs started out utilizing affiliate marketing and many still use it along with the businesses they already run.
Exactly what is an affiliate marketing.
Allow me to explain, essentially, it’s advertising other people’s products and services in exchange for commission.
So, as the affiliate, you’ll advertise specific products you come across when you have searched on places like Clickbank
and preferably like, and each time someone makes a purchase using the link you provide, you’ll make a small profit.
Although affiliated marketing is less complicated than running a business, it still requires consistent work and the knowledge of how to promote correctly
As a pre-Christmas present, to help all would be super affiliates a collection of affiliate marketing templates to aid you make more sales and commissions
We all have both weaknesses and strengths to some measure, some people have more weaknesses than strengths, or at least they convince themselves this is true
This worst case of self-pity, as it will sink any hope, hinder any attempt to change
If you are prone to this way of thinking, then you need to read this and put all the instructions into action
First step of action
Take a large writing pad and ballpoint pen and write down all your weaknesses, and list them under Negative
Don’t worry if there are many, just be honest and list them all. Don’t feel bad or disheartened
When your unable to think of any more, start on your strengths, List under Positive
You may find this part more difficult, but don’t be put off take your time
Even if this means having frequent breaks, and restarting at a later date (days if need be)
Make sure you list any new skills you have recently acquired on the positive side
Also, any subjects you are interested in, as they may provide you with new avenues of skills
For a brief wile go back to the negative list, and with a small notepad add ideas of how you could change a weakness into a strength or Google search how other people turned that weakness into a strength
Jot down on the positive side any solutions others came up with, or if you overcome a weakness yourself, so that you might be able to offer support or help to others, this then becomes a new positive strength
Going through this process may give you a glimpse of a brighter future to come, if not the actual starting point of a brand-new character-building future
Although affiliate marketing is meant to be the easiest and most effective ways to earn money online, sadly this is misleading.
While the experienced affiliate market has already reached an enviable status of success
But their success was not gained without many trial & errors, repeated efforts and a great amount of time spent refining (tweaking their system)
Important Tool #1: Your Own Website
Even a total newbie to affiliate marketing, will stand a far better chance of success, owning their own website
Although these days there many alternatives, such as setting up a Facebook page or better still Facebook membership group
What to Avoid
Never go for a Free hosted website, as this looks far from professional, a Free WordPress blog looks better, and more acceptable than one with a URL like this made up example “chosenname,freehostingUK.com”
Why don’t most affiliate marketers want to own a Website?
1: First of all, their mindset is if I’m promoting other people’s services or products through their sites, then I don’t need a website
2: Websites also require a domain name, both of these have ongoing costs
3: There are too many things to learn and remember when running a website
These are just three examinations frequently used, as to why affiliates do go for website owning
Whether or not Own Website dislike this idea, without their own site failure is more likely tan success, because they are treating their marketing as a hobby and not as a business
Therefore, the first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website.
The website is the important starting point for all your marketing efforts, as it can be used for views or press releases of whatever you intend to promote
While always including your hidden affiliate link, which you can easily do within the review
Wherever possible acquire a free copy of the product you intend to promote, buy if need be as then you can give a honest review (perhaps no too honest) just point out the good points and some of the bad points too, which will gain you more credibility
Although it will be more profitable to find products that live up to the claims made and offer ongoing support
Whatever else you do make your website full of original, relevant and useful content.
Keep in mind that, in the internet, content is still king and good quality content which will build your credibility, and help you achieve a higher search engine ranking.
YouTube the most visited and used video site, with thousands of video creators, with likley even more who just enjoy watching video
Some of those who create videos, rank high with their channels, and have acquired a substantial income, although this may not be the reason behind why they continue to create videos
There those who add a Link to their website or blog within the description
In this way they are promoting their website for free, every time they create a video
Other video creators hide all their videos from public viewers, because they run a membership only site, and only use YouTube to host their videos
Many creators have taken to advertising on traffice exchanges, by requsting those viewing adverts to like and comment on their video, in return they gain advertising with the exchange they promote
I’m unsure this method really works to gain new views or subscribers to their channel
I found a video creator who advertises with a direct link to individual video, in hopes visitors from the exchange will watch and like the video
^ eBook series that speak ^ This channel has uploaded a great many video on a variety of subjects, the only drawback is many use a computer-generated voice-over, which you may find it irritating
But curtesy of YouTube a Transcript is provided, which helps
More recent video have a real person commentating on them, which makes the a lot more pleasant to watch and listen to
I wonder if the person uploading these ebooks and converts them to speak, has permision (right) to use the contents in this way
If you check out any of this channels videos, let me know what you think in the comments
Do the computer-generated voice anoy you? Did you watch the whole vido?
