It’s undeniable that the one thing you need to succeed in your online business is traffic. And nothing beats free traffic. And where’s the best place to get free traffic? Google and other search engines.

How does Google give out free traffic?

This is something you’ve experienced first hand countless times. You visit your favorite search engine. Type in something you’re looking for. Then you click on one of the pages that in displayed. Turns out that the website you visit just got free traffic from the search engine. What need to figure out is how to get you free traffic.

If you’re like most people you only click links on the first page or two. The truth is that this first page of results receives nearly all the clicks. And what’s more, the first 3 get over 70% of the clicks.

This means that to get any real traffic you need to be on the first page in Google. And that means you need to be “ranked” in the top 10 by Google. And this bring us to…

What is SEO?

SEO means that your website is clearly about something specific, Google knows that that is and thinks others will agree and find your site useful. The intricate formula Google uses to figure this out is really only known by Google. There are several factors that we do know.

Getting indexed

First, before you can get ranked highly, Google has to know you exist. This is called getting “indexed.” When your website gets indexed, Google stores information about it in their massive database.

Google needs to actually find your site in order to index it. And the best way for Google to find you is to get inbound links from other sites. Since some of these site will already be indexed, Google will follow the links on their pages and find you.

Twitter and Facebook updates are great places to put links to your site. Because these sites are indexed multiple times every day. So any new links will be followed right away.

Gaining ranking

Once you have been indexed, you will start working on increasing your rank. Just getting indexed does you almost no good, considering that Google has billions of pages in their database.

The 3 factors in getting ranked:

• Content
• Links
• Activity

Great content

This is also called on-page SEO. It’s critical that your page content is consistent with the keyword phrases you’re targeting. Clearly this article is about search engine optimization. One way Google figures this out is from the fact that it contains the term SEO. Another reason is because there are related words, like website traffic, too.

The title of the page, the domain name and other pages on your site are also important. Each of these plays a roles in Google determination about your site.

Your links

The next thing to consider is your links. The links to your site, as well as the sites you link to are important. It’s very important that you have more links coming in than you have going out. And the more inbound links the better.

A very easy way to get a lot of links to your site is through article marketing. With this strategy what you do is write an article about the topic you’re targeting. Then create a bunch of different versions of it. And post unique versions to lots of websites that accept articles. The more sites you can do this for, the more links you’ll get back.

Make your site active

Finally, we know that Google gives you credit for the activity on your site. A page that was created 3 years ago and hasn’t been touched since won’t rank well. Regular content updates to your site are expected. You can do this with RSS feeds and news posts.

Comments from other people on your page are another fantastic way to keep your content updated. So, obviously, you need to get people to visit your site on your own, too. An easy way to do this is from forums.

Set up forum profiles with the ones related to your website. Then become active in the forum. Always include a link back to your site. This generates even more links back to your site. And it also gets people to your web page.

Conclusion

Each step listed above is critical. However, writing a bunch of different articles on the same topic. And creating a bunch of forum profiles. And posting your articles and comments takes a lot of time. And the bad news is that you probably won’t do it.

However, rank builder software exists. And it automates everything we’ve just talked about. So, use your time wisely and automated to tedious tasks. Otherwise, you won’t do it at all. By taking these steps you practically ensure you’ll get free traffic from Google.

OK, forget everything you know about affiliate marketing. The simple truth is that the old rules no longer apply. If you play by the old rules, you will lose this game.

The big lie

You’ve been told it’s easy to get started as an affiliate. This is partially true. There’s no doubt it’s easier than starting your own business. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Here’s the ugly truth

The worst part is that the information you’ve received is all wrong. You’re told to pick one of more products to promote. Next to look for easy keywords to target. Then to use these keywords to buy ads promoting the product. And sit back and collect the profits. But it doesn’t work.

Keywords are dead

Keyword advertising used to work. But keywords are too expensive now. Adapt and change…

A brand new formula

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Follow this method and win again…

• Start using CPA marketing
• Instead of researching keywords, research demographics
• Use image ads

Do CPA marketing instead of product promotion

CPA stands for Cost Per Action. It’s so much easier than promoting products. Because it doesn’t involve payment. You get paid when they take an “action”. Entering their email into a form, for example. And it’s much easier to get them to do that.

Do demographics research

Keywords are no longer relevant (you’ll see in a minute). So spend your time doing demographics research. First, select the CPA offer you want to promote. Then hop over to Quantcast.com. And discover the exact demographics of your ideal prospect.

Do image ad marketing

So you know what your promoting and you know who will be interested. You can target these exact demographics on display networks. And use images as your ads. No keywords required. The biggest advantage is price. Image ad clicks are much cheaper.

Summary

This is truly a quick cash concept. Because it’s free to get started in CPA. Image ads are cheap. You can use demographics to target your ideal prospect. And you get paid for having them take a simple action.

Before I get into the steps you need to take in order to start making $100 per day online, let me first say this. Consistency is the name of the game. One of the biggest reasons so many people fail at this whole make money online thing is because they lack consistency. They watch a video or read an ebook that gets them all excited and hyped up, but when the time comes for them to actually put some work in, they clam up. They write a few articles and then they quit. They create a few PPC ad campaigns and because they don’t perform like they wanted them to, they give up.

If you truly want to be successful online, or in any other area of your life, you will need to learn how to stick to it. Successful people are successful because they kept going no matter what. There will be some bumps in the road, but if you keep going, you will reach your goals.

Ok! Enough of that. Below I am going to outline a few steps you need to take in order to start making $100 per day online. Now as the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. In other words, all I can do is show you want you need to do. The rest is up to you. So here we go.

Step #1 – Find Something To Sell

Of course the first and most obvious step is to find something to sell. This can be ANYTHING. Either a product or a service. What you have to remember is that this is the world wide web and there is a market for almost everything. However, keep in mind that some markets are way more profitable then other markets. In my experience, the quickest way to get the ball rolling is to just sell an affiliate product.

Here’s why. With an affiliate product you don’t have to worry about anything other than driving traffic to the merchant or vendors site. Customer service, product delivery and all that other stuff is handled by the creator of the product. Of course there are other ways you can reach your $100 per day goal, such as writing articles, info product creation and eBay just to name a few. But for this example we will stick with affiliate marketing.

So head over to clickbank, sign up if you haven’t already, and find a product that you want to promote. Try picking a product that pays out at least $25. That way you will only need to make 4 sales a day to reach your goal of $100 per day. One thing that I look for when promoting an affiliate product is how much material is provided for the affiliate. For example, does the vendor provide articles, keywords, rebrandable reports that can be given away, email copy to send out etc. The more material that is provided, the easier it will be for you to start promoting the product.

So before you decide to promote a particular product, make sure you check their affiliate page to see what they have to offer their affiliates.

Step #2 – Set Up Shop

It is very important that you set up a simple blog or website to send traffic to. You never want to send traffic directly to the merchants website. And here’s why. I am sure you have heard it a million and one times, and thats because it is oh so true. You absolutely must build a list. If you send visitors directly to the merchants site, you will not be able to capture their name and email address. Building a list is one of the most valuable assets you will ever have in your online business.

You see, if you truly want to make the big money online, you must have a list. It just makes things easier. All you need to do is set up a blog using wordpress or blogger, sign up with aweber or any other email marketing service, post the code on your site and start giving away something for free in exchange for the visitors name and email address. Once you have their name and email address you can automatically redirect them to the merchants site.

And now since you have their contact info, you can continue to market to them for as long as they stay on your list.

Now when it comes to setting up a blog, all I do is write about 5 articles and then post them on the blog so I can have some content on it when visitors start to show up. You blog doesn’t need to be anything fancy. A simple blog with great content is all you need to start making $100 per day online.

Step #3 – Start Driving Traffic

There are many ways you can go about driving traffic to your website or blog. They all fall into one of two categories. Free or paid. I honestly haven’t done very much paid advertisement in the 6 years that I have been making money online. I personally do a ton of article marketing. I do this for two reason, one, when I first started I didn’t have very much money to spare so article marketing was pretty much my only option, and two, because it has continued to work very well for me so I keep doing it. As they say, if ain’t broke don’t try to fix it.

Now as I stated earlier, consistency is the name of the game. When it comes to driving traffic, you have to make it a priority every single day. If you write 5 articles and then quit, you will probably never make a dime online. A good article consists of 3 things. A keyword rich title, an informative body and a link with anchor text in the resource box.

When it comes to article marketing it is a numbers game. The more articles you have out there, the more traffic you will get. And of course the more traffic you get, the more money you will make.

Other free forms of traffic generation include video marketing, forum marketing, social media marketing and using answer sites such as yahoo answers.

In Conclusion

Its really not hard to start making $100 Per Day Online. Its all about finding a proven business model and then following it. What I have laid out for you in this article will get you started. But remember, I can only lead you to the water, I can’t make you drink.  So what happens next is totally up to you.

Consider this: What’s the most common reason people get online each and every day? Simple. To get information. This is so ubiquitous a quest that Google handles 400 million queries a day! Why should you care? This quest for information is an opportunity for you to fill a need. And if you do it right . . . to make some money along the way.

Info marketing explained

This is by far the simplest business you can start. You develop a product that is nothing more than information. And then sell it to people who want to learn the info in it. Sounds simple enough, right?

How does it work?

OK, the concept is simple. In order to be successful there has to be value in the info you’re selling. So you’ll need to find out what info is valuable. How do you do that?

One easy way to figure it out is with a simple search. Just go to Yahoo! answers or ask.com and look at the questions being asked there. Your goal is to find a common problem. For things that are causing people discomfort. And solve the problem for them by writing an info product on it.

Think about this:

If you’re worried about how to write and ebook. Think about this: An ebook is just a series of articles. Writing a whole ebook can be overwhelming. Just write some articles for your blog. And when you have a collection, flesh them out, add to them and combine them into a single ebook.

OK, what’s so hot about digital products? Interestingly enough, we’re back to the name of this article How about 7 reasons why:

1. Simplicity and ease

As soon as you have the pieces in place, it’s virtually maintenance free. There is almost no support. So you can just set it up and let it run. It really is like and automatic money machine.

You have no physical inventory. You never have to deal with shipping. It’s digital.

2. Repurposing

After you’ve created a few ebooks. You can put together bigger more expensive information products. It’s nothing to combine the content from several ebooks. And you’ll be able to charge much more for this “new” product. People will be willing to pay a lot more for one big ebook. As opposed to a bunch of little ones.

3. Resellers

Since it’s your product, you can offer other people the resale rights. Recently, resell rights have become extremely popular, because most people simply don’t have the time, money and effort it takes to create their own products. And what’s more you can charge double, even triple your selling price for resell rights!

4. Leverage

It’s your content, so you can use it in as many different ways as you want. Break it apart and create a multi-part email series with it. And build your list with it. A list is it’s own reward!

5. More leverage

Don’t stop there . . . break it into several smaller reports. Then you can use the reports as the front-end of your product funnel. You can make these low cost or even free. And you’re creating targeted leads for your main product all along. Taking this technique to the max, you can let your affiliate give the reports away for you. Which brings us to…

6. An affiliate army

This one is huge. If you’ve got products you own. Other people can become your affiliates. How would you like to have an army of affiliates selling your products? You can’t do this unless you have your own product.

7. JVs

Last, but definitely not least… The number one way to launch your success is through joint ventures. So, I’d say this is the most important reason to have you own products. Because if you don’t have you own product, you’ve got nothing to JV.

In closing

If you can’t see the power of info product marketing, then you’ve probably been sleeping. You’ll become the ruler of your own fate. Because you’re the boss! So, decide to just start:

• Go to answers.yahoo.com
• Find out what people need to know
• Write about the answers

Don’t make info product creation any more complicated than that. And in no time you’ll have an info product ready to go.

It would be hard to argue against the fact that adding audio to a website increases your overall results. In fact, not using audio is a big mistake. Audio increases opt-ins. It boosts sales, too.

Why does it work?

It’s not hard to figure out. Audio breaks the silence of the web. It makes your site more “human”. And adds the feel of a real live person. In short, it makes your site come alive. And people like to interact with things that are alive!

The benefits of audio

Adding audio increases your profits in two ways. You will close more sales. And second you’ll save money on the sales letter. You see, you’ll be able to skip the expensive copywriter. You can just add your own audio. Your honest message about your product will sell better than a professional copywriter.

And you will increase your subscriber opt-in rate. Most people need to be led by the hand. So you just add a simple audio that says: Enter your email address in the form. That alone can increase opt-in rates up to 310%!

Some ways to use audio

Put a welcome message that plays automatically on your site, Most websites are cold and in-human. This could be all it takes to get your visitor to decide to stay.

Lead them by the had. The same principle the we used to boost opt-ins applies. You can use audio to tell your visitors exactly what to do. And take them all the way through buying your product.

Testimonials for your product or service. A written testimonial is good. But what’s even better are audio testimonials. It’s much hard to fake an audio testimonial. So audio adds real believability. Which boosts your sales for sure.

Sneaky tick

Did you ever think of making a product just by recording some audio? You’ll be able to produce audio products faster than any other kind. And your customers will be very happy with the product. The great thing about audio products is people can take them with them on the go. And once you record the audio, you can pay someone to transcribe it for you. Then you’ve got an eBook, too – but it was easy to create!

Is adding audio hard?

It’s actually really easy. You can find a lot of programs that create audio buttons for you. You don’t actually have to do anything yourself. The program records and then converts the recording and generates an audio button. You just copy and paste into your website. There’s nothing to worry about.

Summary

Just a reminder of why you want to start using audio. Setting up some web audio will do wonders for all your results. No doubt your sales will go up. You will also increase your subscriber opt-ins. And you can quickly produce products and website sales copy. No many people are doing this. But you’ll save a lot of time and money. Get started right now and realize instant results.

Yes affiliate marketing rocks, but it’s really hard to get started. The reason is because there is a lot of competition. What you need to do is come up with methods no one else is using. It’s also hard to figure out what to do because there’s a lot of information out there. Here’s one trick that almost no one else is using.

Marketing with video

The power of video is undeniable. The reason it’s so pervasive is because everyone loves it. It’s so much easier to keep people’s attention with video. So you can put this to great advantage in your affiliate marketing.

Here’s how to use videos for affiliate promotions:

• Record your testimonial
• Walk-throughs
• Record the order process
• Sneak peak

Do a testimonial video

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Just click record on your web cam and start talking. Don’t worry about quality. Just seeing another real person endorsing a product helps your viewers decide to buy. And honestly, if you mess up it just makes it seem more authentic. You really can just click record and start talking. Use one of the other ideas if you’re feeling shy.

Record a walk-through

This one is a little more subtle. You’re taking the role of teacher and showing how to use the product. And while they watch you use it, they think, “I should buy that.” If the product is useful, watching the tutorial makes them want to buy it. So just make sure you’re demoing a good product.

Do an ordering video

This one is killer! Record a video of yourself actually buying the product. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. First of all it’s what’s called “social proof”. Once they see you doing it, they feel more secure. Second, it builds trust. People believe you’re giving them good advice if you take that advice yourself. And don’t forget about the need to “keep up with the Joneses”. They see you getting the satisfaction of making the purchase and that makes them want it. To really cap this one off, end your video with: You’re gonna have to place your own order if you want to see the members area.

Sneak peak

This one is perfect for building up the value of what you’re promoting. What you do is record a tour of the back end. And show them everything they get by ordering. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.

You can do this!

There’s no technical knowledge required. Some very easy to use programs make the videos for you. The software really does all the work So please don’t let technical worries slow you down. Keep focused on the rewards:

• Make more money You’ll earn more affiliate commissions when you add video. Start using videos because people love them.
• Lower refund rates Less of your commissions will be clawed back, too. Your customers will know what they’re getting into ahead of time. So less of them will ask for refunds.
• Outdo your competitors! Adding video is so simple. But pretty much no one does it. This puts you out in front of the rest.

Take your affiliate promotions to a higher level and getting started with this now. The bottom line is that if you’re not using video, you’re losing money.

If you’re going to be successful in internet marketing, you need to build a list. It’s the one thing above all else that matters most. Because you can market to your list whenever you want. Just push a button and print money – literally.

So, how do you build a list?

Here’s what you need to build your list:

• Your Opt-in Page
• The Bribe
• The Thank You Page

Your Landing Page – The landing page is the page that has your opt-in form on it. This is where they will enter their email address. So, obviously it has to be well designed. And it needs to be simple to see how to opt in. And have a clear call to action.

The biggest mistake you can make is not having a clear call to action. This is a definitive message that tells your visitor what to do. And if you don’t include it, they won’t opt in. The funny thing is that people just don’t know what to do unless you tell them.

One way to really spice up your squeeze page is to make it a video squeeze page. Adding video will help keep your visitors attention. Plus it give you a chance to tell them to opt in multiple times. And after the video, you can make it just say “fill in the form now”.

It’s OK, if you’ve never made a video before. It’s very easy to hire people for a couple hundred bucks to make one for you. Or you can get email list tools that include video squeeze pages.

Your Bribe – The second component is the reason they are opting into your list. People won’t give you their email for nothing. Email privacy is very important to most people. So make your “bribe” a good one!

The only way to make this work is to provide real value. That means you make it something people would actually want to receive. And something from which they can derive a benefit. Here’s some examples:

• A free report
• Software
• A video tutorial
• A multi-part email series

You’ve got to create some great content. And make it both helpful and informative. And of course it has to be free. Bottom line is it’s got to be worth more to them than their email address.

If you’re worried about creating this content, don’t be. Here again, you can hire freelancers to create this for you. Simply tell them what the topic is and they can write the content. For example, you could have them write a 5-part email course. And you can get emails ghost written for about $20 – $25 each. And whole thing will only cost a hundred and fifty buck.

There are also list building products that include the follow up email series. There are two important things about the email series. The first thing is that it delivers value to your subscribers. It also has to generate revenue for you! One very easy way to make some money from your list is with affiliate marketing. This allows you to get started with no products of your own. And you can earn some commissions immediately from your emails.

Your Confirmation Page – The “thank you” page is the final piece of the puzzle. This is the page your subscriber sees after they opt in. It’s a great idea to give them some valuable information right on the thank you page. That way, they feel glad that they gave you their email address. It also helps to build the relationship. Then they’re more receptive when you email them.

This is another case where you can get a complete marketing package. You can also put the whole thing together on your own. You can either write the content pages on your own. Or pay a freelancer to write the content for you.

Summing it up

It makes no difference whether you build your opt-in, bribe and thank you page. Or if you hire people to do this for you. Or go with a complete package. It’s just important that you start today building your opt-in list. Because as soon as you’ve got your own list . . . You can basically write your own meal ticket.

If you’re not preselling, you’re losing money

The most important thing you can do to increase your affiliate commissions is to presell properly.

First, what is preselling? There are two components to it – art & science. It’s a process of taking your reader and getting them ready to buy. Then when they’re ready, refer them to the product website so they can buy it. And when it’s done correctly, they don’t know it’s happening.

The gist is that you give your reader some useful information. And give them a link to the product you’re preselling. In just a minute, I’ll explain exactly how to presell. But before we do, you need to know why it’s so important. Some major benefits of this process:

• It helps your reader trust you – Readers who trust you are more likely to click your links. And the more traffic you can send to the sale page, the more commissions you’ll earn.
• It disarms your reader – Nobody likes to be sold something. By not doing that to them, your reader is less defensive. This means they are more open to what you’re saying. So your message gets across.
• It creates buying readiness – Your readers are now receiving your message. So they become more receptive to other messages. This includes the sales website you send them to! Sending them to the sales page in this state makes them more receptive to the actual pitch.
• You make more money – They arrive at the product website prepped to buy. With the guard down and trusting your recommendation. This dramatically boosts your sales rate!
• It increases customer satisfaction – People like to make their own buying decisions. Instead of feeling pressured or “sold”. And this makes them feel better about the product they purchased.
• Preselling increases your bottom line – Happy customers ask for refunds much less often. Less refunds means more affiliate money stays in your pocket.

The need to presell is clear. You increase your profits. And increase your customer satisfaction. It’s a win-win-win!

Now, here’s how preselling works:

OK, now you understand why it’s so important. And hopefully you’re convinced you need to start doing it. You’re ready to learn how to do it properly. Like we talked about before, it’s an art. And it’s a science.

Part 1 – The art of it

Effective preselling requires gaining your readers trust in order for them to let down their guard. And the only method of doing this is to give exceptional value to your readers. Now, providing enough info to be useful, but still making them want more – that’s the art of it. The idea is that they want more and the sales page you send them to gives them more. And since they’re more open, they are more likely to make a purchase.

Part 2 – the Science

There are also several key elements that need to be included.

One of these key elements is the presentation of the information. You’ve got to map out your strategy before you start writing. In the end, you want to sell a specific product. There are two ways to accomplish this with great content. First, you can provide useful but incomplete information. The second way is to provide all the information and let your reader discover how hard it is to actually implement it. In either case, the product you’re referring them to solves the problem for them.

Next, you have to use “convert linking” methods. You have directly to the home page of the product. This increases your clicks. But how will you earn affiliate commissions if you don’t use your affiliate link? Well, that’s part of the science of this whole process. You use an image tag to cookie your reader before they leave your site.

Next, you want to make sure you’re linking on related words and phrases. People are used to clicking on hyperlinked words to get information they’re looking for. And when the words are in context like this, it makes perfect sense for your reader to click them.

Using this system, you’re virtually guaranteed to increase your affiliate business success.

OK, here’s the not-so-good news:

Doing all of this right is really hard! Let’s talk about everything required to put this plan into action: Good content. First and foremost, you have to be able to write a great article that provides valuable information. This means you have to be able to write well, and have enough knowledge to be useful. Strategic writing. First, you have to give good information. But, you also need to know how to present the information in a way that give value to the reader. While at the same time making them want more. Or provide so much information that they see how hard it will be to implement.

Choosing your products. Next, you’ve got to pick the right product to presell. Even if you get the article written. You’ve wasted all your effort if the product doesn’t sell well.

Techy stuff. To be most effective you have to use the “covert cookie” method. This is fairly simple – you use a 1 X 1 image and set the “source” to your affiliate link. (But if you do it wrong, you won’t get paid for the traffic you send.)

Summary:

Now you know what it takes to be a Presell Pro. Preselling properly will boost your affiliate profits up to 500%! The important thing is to use these techniques for everything you promote as an affiliate. Take action now. Make the extra effort required to propel your affiliate business to the next level.

The most important thing in any web business is traffic – lots and lots of traffic. The other 1% is what you do with that traffic, but if you have to traffic – you can figure out the rest. Once the visitors arrive you can have them join your mailing list, purchase a product or subscribe to your RSS feed. The important thing is getting the traffic and sustaining it.

Here are some tips for generating website visitors:

These are the best and fastest ways to get free visitors coming to your site:

• Web 2.0 Sites
• Article Websites
• Video

And here’s how to use each method…

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is the name given to websites that get their content from their users. What this means for you is that you can join into the community and add your own content. Because these sites get so much traffic, Google and the other search engines treat these sites with greater importance in their algorithms. And that’s important to you because it means that Google and the other search engines treat links from these sites as more meaningful than links from other sites. And any links in your content that point to your own sites count as a strong “vote” in favor of your sites – lending you credibility in the search engines. The direct traffic from the Web 2.0 sites themselves is only part of the benefit. There are many more web 2.0 traffic tactics we don’t have time to get into here, but this will get you started.

Article Marketing

The next thing we want to talk about is article marketing. This is because article websites are really web 2.0 site. Article directories are sites where users (including you) can upload articles they have written. And just like other web 2.0 sites, you get all the SEO benefits from having your content on them. But you also get the extra benefit of other users taking your article and putting it on their site. And because the terms of the directory say they have to include your “resource box” you get links back from all these other sites, too. If you want to generate traffic from articles follow these steps:

• Figure out what keywords you want to go after
• Write your article for the keywords you’ve chosen
• Be sure to link to your site on the keywords you’ve chosen. Do this inside the article itself and in your author’s bio.

Video

Our discussion would not be complete without talking about video. Once again, this is really a sub-set of web 2.0. And it carries all the same benefits of article marketing. And if all that wasn’t enough, you also stand a much stronger chance of getting a high search engine ranking for the keywords you want with video than you do with text-based content.

OK, so how do you do effective video marketing?

• Set up your YouTube account
• When people view your videos, you want them to visit your site, so turn all the other modules in your profile off
• Add tags to your profile
• Add a link to your website
• Add at least one video to your profile
• For each video use your keywords in the tags, the descriptions and the title

Putting it all together.

This is a great overview to get your started generating massive traffic to your site.
