Age-Old Question: Do You Need to Have Your Own Product?

Filed Under Articles Affiliates (general) | Leave a Comment

Well… yes or no? Which is it?

Whether or not you need to have your own product to become a successful affiliate marketer is a question that has been asked and answered every few minutes since affiliate marketing came on the scene. The reason it is asked so often is because everybody has a different answer.

There are those who say you absolutely MUST have your own product to get started and to succeed in affiliate marketing and then there are those who say you don’t need a product when you start or ever to be successful. So again, which is it? Yes? No?

The fact of the matter is that… Read more

Affiliate Junktion… So, there is a catch after all?!

Filed Under Affiliate Programs (specific) | Leave a Comment

Affiliate Junktion Website Package

Well, what is it then?

Okay, here it is… a “piece of your pie” will be declined at payday. And probably, you’re not counting on that.

I know this can be very disappointing when AJ’s affiliates cash their first checkes. So I wrote an email to Affiliate Junktion and asked Michael what the deal was with these declined leads, at payday. Let me give you the info direct from Michael himself. This is what he mailed me:

Basically, we will deduct any unconfirmed leads and/or cancellations in your account from your pending balance. Once approved, this is what you will be paid.

And in another mail Michael wrote about this:

You will receive a commission for every confirmed lead you sent our way. However you will not receive commissions on multiple sign ups from the same person or on sign ups from the same IP address. Our anti-fraud system will prevent this and automatically detect multiple sign ups from the same IP address.

Leads that have registered but not confirmed their registration or have cancelled their registration, will be declined.

I just want you to fully understand this. This is how Affiliate Junktion plays the game. As you want to play along, then you agree with their affiliate agreement (but who reads those things the full 100% at the beginning?).

Of course, this can be very disappointing. For instance, my first payment was a bit disappointing. Why? Well, only 58.5% of my pending account was approved. That means that I delivered a lot of trash leads, so I have to improve the quality of my leads to AJ.

So, this is my tip to you. Don’t just focus on the leads you deliver. Always check your quality and (unique) declined leads, every day. This is what I’m doing right now and it’s paying off. My approved percentage is going up, every day. My goal is to get somewhere between 75% and 85%. I know a lot of guys get these results.

So, is it still a program that I would recommend?

Yes, absolutely yes. There’s still enough room to play the game and earn lots of money with Affiliate Junktion’s program. So, no worries and have fun with it. Just play the game a bit better!

Cheers,

Rob.

Removed Link To Never Ending Success

Filed Under Affiliate Programs (specific) | Leave a Comment

Hi guys,

I just removed my link at the right column to the Never Ending Success sales page. Why? Well, that’s easy…

I will not advice you to join that program anymore, after my negative experience with NES. Too bad, because that of course means, that my investment in the program is gone forever. If you want to know more details, then please visit my earlier post about them:

3 Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

Filed Under Articles SEO | Leave a Comment

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills back.

With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers. This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also getting popular.

There are already many tools that people can use to make the process of distributing their articles more easily. Though this is invaluable in getting the contents more exposure, which is only half of the story.

Let us take a look first at the common mistakes that some people make before submitting their contents to article directories:

1. Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.

But there is only one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your audience. If the article is not focused on this primary and most important purpose, it will fail to achieve the three promotion benefits because no one will be interested in reading them.

You need to figure out first how to get people to read what is in your article, then make them click on your resource box. You can achieve this by producing better contents.

2. Failing to maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing.

You may know already that your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. But do you know that… Read more

A Great Idea For a Blogging Web Site is No Longer Enough

Filed Under Articles Blogging | Leave a Comment

Because there are so many blogs and web sites about blogs on the internet, it can be tough to distinguish your blogging web site from all of the others. Whether you are starting up a new web site aimed at bloggers or whether you are looking to make your existing blogging site more distinctive, the key to building and maintaining a site that will capture the interest and attention of the blogging community is finding your niche.

If you can fill a unique need in a way that no other web site does, you’ll be able to build a lasting readership among web surfers. Once you have discovered a niche, you will still have a lot to do, but finding your place in the blogosphere is the place to begin.

Every great blogging web site starts with a great idea, and you can’t build a successful site that will last without one. There are many great sites aimed at today’s bloggers, and competition for the attention of this growing demographic is fierce.

To make your blogging web site stand out from the pack, you will need to offer something that no other site is currently offering, or you will need to do the same thing that an already popular site does but in a more impressive or valuable way.

One way to discover an ideal model for your blogging web site is to… Read more
