One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else's product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).
The benefits of this are
- You can get started almost immediately because you don't have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
- You have almost no investment of time because you don't have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
- You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.
Looking at these benefits, it's clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!
The downside is...
After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you're losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.
What's the solution?
Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you're really on top of your game, you'll then send to a pre-sales page in between. Here's what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:
- You'll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again.
- You'll be pre-selling them by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.
In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools
:
- A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
- One or more content-rich Pre-Selling Pages
- At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series
The video squeeze page is where you'll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series. All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it's well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it's set up, it runs automatically - you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page. If you don't have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it's much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it's instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affilite tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn't much of a concern. The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it's an important step that you need to take if you're going to be serious about your business. |

Tips & Tactics
• Be aware that credit cards offering a 0% introductory rate, often have interest rates that are higher than average after a certain period of time.
• Take advantage of travel incentives, payback rewards and other offerings when choosing small business credit cards. Depending on your needs, these advantages can sometimes outweigh a lower interest rate.
• Consider going local for business credit cards. The hometown bank that manages your business account may be more competitive than the national bank that just sent you an offer in the mail
Business Credit Card FYI:
The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure (CARD) Act of 2009 does not include any new protections for business credit cards. However, Bank of America has decided to apply some of the most significant protections from the CARD act to the business cards I have with them. Here's a list from my Clarity Commitment Summary letter:
BOA will no longer increase your rate on existing balances for late payments or other risk reasons.
BOA will always provide 45 days notice before we increase your rate for future balances.
Any amount you pay over the minimum payment will now be used to pay down your balances with highest APR's first.
BOA will no longer charge a fee for going over your credit limit.
Your payment due date will now be at least 25 days from the statement closing date printed on your statement.

Step 1: Tell the consumer reporting company, in writing, what information you think is inaccurate. Include copies (NOT originals) of any documents that support your position. In addition to providing your complete name and address, your letter should identify each item in your report you dispute; state the facts and the reasons you dispute the information, and ask that it be removed or corrected. You may want to enclose a copy of your report, and circle the items in question. Send your letter by certified mail, "return receipt requested," so you can document that the consumer reporting company received it. Keep copies of your dispute letter and enclosures.
Consumer reporting companies must investigate the items you question within 30 days — unless they consider your dispute frivolous. They also must forward all the relevant data you provide about the inaccuracy to the organization that provided the information. After the information provider receives notice of a dispute from the consumer reporting company, it is required to investigate, review the relevant information, and report the results back to the consumer reporting company. If this investigation reveals that the disputed information is inaccurate, the information provider has to notify the nationwide consumer reporting companies so they can correct it in your file.

One of the most powerful ways to increase your credit score is to add seasoned trade lines to your credit report. For years, this strategy has been known as shadowing or mirroring. As of late, it has become big business both on and off the net.
The technique of adding seasoned trade lines consists of having a person with a revolving line of credit (credit card) add you as a personal user to their account. When the credit card company reports to the credit bureaus the next time (they report every month), it will show that you now have that line as well. This trade line showing on your account now increases your credit score (sometimes dramatically).
What most people should be aware of is that you can not and should not just add yourself to anyone's credit card. There are a few factors that you should consider

With the credit crisis, the financial industry is going through many changes and it is more difficult to find lenders that offer credit cards and bad credit lenders that can transform our financial lives. Helping people find reputable bad credit lenders for industry leading loans and credit cards. Many poor credit lenders are willing to take a chance on high-risk borrowers because it's just plain good business. Poor credit lenders consider a secured loan as a reasonably low-risk transaction, simply because of property which can be seized in the event of default and a myriad of miscellaneous fees that can up the ante.
