Stealthy Marketing Techniques and Tools

Guest Post by Stephen Phillips

You can easily make money using the internet. There are various useful methods which will help you to make reasonable money online. You can take online surveys, turn a blog in to a cash machine or sell others products (affiliate marketing) thus making huge commission. There are other methods as well but affiliate marketing is considered as one of the most trusted ways to make money from the internet.

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is all about selling the products online and getting commission on each such sale. If you are good in marketing, you will be able to make a lot of money from the affiliate marketing. You will need to setup a website, although you can use free blogs also. Three best things about Affiliate Marketing are:

1. You dont need to have a product of your own.
2. You need not to worry about technical support and customer complaints. Product owner is only one responsible for that.
3. You need not to spend money to start. You can start it for free.

3 Steps of Affiliate Marketing

1. Product Selection
In order to succeed in the affiliate marketing and making money online, you will need to select the proper product. A product that suits your marketing style and at the same time is in demand will surely give you a great start. If you want a head start then you should select a product which you know a lot about. This will allow you to market it even more effectively.

2. Landing Page Creation
You will also need a high quality landing page with a good sales letter on display. Remember that the sales letter and the landing page play an important role to increase the number of conversions. You should also make sure that you are building a list from your landing page as well. You can offer things like free eBooks etc in return for subscription. This will help you build a wonderful list for the future prospects.

3. Online Marketing
You should ideally market your products on all the fronts. You should use the paid advertisement and at the same time you should also try out the free methods. Some of the free methods are more beneficial than the paid advertisement. For example, you can create a product page on all the front runners in the social networks. This will help you to market your product directly and without any cost. It will also help you to develop brand recognition among various sectors of online society.

It is easy to make money online especially from the affiliate marketing but for this you will need two things i.e. hard work and smart work. It is a hard truth that most of the affiliate marketer fails because they dont work in right direction. While hard work plays a role, the smart work enables you to take the lead. Smart work will save you a lot of time and effort and will also make sure that you are getting the maximum from your resources.

The internet is big! There’s no debating that! It started out as the information superhighway. Now it is becoming the place to go to check to for deals. It is also the place to go when you are trying to save money.

So, how can you take advantage of all this business that is conducted on the world wide web? If you set things up properly, you will be rewarded with a passive online income stream for years to come. This is the ideal form of income. Who doesn’t dream of getting paid for sleeping? Or getting paid while you’re on your vacation and you’ve been gone for 3 months? That is the life! Well, for me. I don’t know if you feel the same way. Some people are workaholics and cannot be away from their work. But, to each their own.

Companies are reporting that with each year, their online revenues are increasing. They love it. Online marketplaces cut down on overhead tremendously. There is no need for a big office building with fancy lights and such. All that’s needed for them is a big warehouse, an internet site, and someone to handle the orders as they come in.

Settings Things Up
This is the hardest part. You will need to set time aside to learn how the internet works and you will need to know a little about marketing as well as what people are searching for. This is key for this will determine what will be successful for you.

Once you have the basic information, you can either use free sites or set up your own. Then you build it so that it is attractive and so it offers useful information, the info that the searcher is looking for. Then you add in offers that will suit your audience, offers for which you are an affiliate. Then you work on sending traffic to your site. And that is it!

This is exactly how some people have broken out of the rat race and gained their financial freedom through the world wide web.

Selling Online
They have created their own little storefront and are selling products that other people need at lower prices than the local physical stores. Some people harness the power of eBay to build their online store.

Affiliate
Others don’t want to have to worry about shipping or dealing with customers, so they sign up as affiliates to eBay and other businesses. For these people, every time they send an interested party to eBay or whatever, they get credited the sale and make a commission.

Freelance
Yet others will offer their services through the internet community through sites like Guru.com and Elance.com.

Beginners at anything almost always have trouble when they start because they have no idea what they are doing and they are inexperienced in what is going on. The same basic concept holds true to beginners who want to start making money online. They are very susceptible to online scams and programs that will lead them nowhere in terms of making money online. In this post I will not necessarily give you names of specific programs, I will give you some valuable tips that will help you make your own decision and help you get off on the right foot so you can make money.

Start Simple And Build Up

One of the most important things you can do as a beginner is to start simple. The phrase keep it simple stupid is perfect for the making money online business because simpler means that you are less likely to get scammed. Now keeping it simple forever is not the best idea either. You should start out fairly easy and work your way up to more complicated ideas that will earn you more money. This way you can learn as you go and not have to worry as much about getting scammed.

Avoiding Nasty Scams

There are millions of online scams out on the world wide web that are waiting to take your hard earned money. A general tip for beginners is to start out with programs that are free and that you have nothing to lose with. These include paid survey sites and article writing sites. There are numerous sites out there in these categories that are free and that will provide beginners with a legit way to begin making money online. The key in the beginning is to stay away from the sites that charge you a fee in order to join in their site. While these sites are always tempting, even for me, they are almost always scams and were designed for one thing. Taking your money! Avoid these sites at all costs.

Researching Is Key

When it comes to making money online, one of the most important things you can do is research. Lets say you have come across a nice site that looks like a good opportunity for you to make money online with. The first thing you should do is google the site and see what experiences others have had with it. If a site is a scam then other people will have written about it on Google or other places. Remember to do your homework about a site.

These three tips if followed will help any beginner make money online. Remember that making money online takes time and effort and a person will not become rich. Most people are just looking for an extra income that they can use in one way or another. The most important tip to when it comes to making money online Dont get to greedy.

The internet is full of websites that claim to help you make money online or earn residual income. The problem is, 95% of these websites are simply scams or MLM schemes that want to take your money. I have spent the last two years scouring the web in search of legitimate ways to make money online. Only a select few websites actually back up their claims and really do provide results and I have listed these websites on my blog Residuals and Royalties.

There are three ways that I prove to my readers that I am actually earning a profit from these websites and I will list each one for you. These three forms of proof help my readers have a little faith that if they put some effort into these websites, they WILL get paid. The three ways that I prove my earnings are: screen shots, check proof videos and auto-calculating banners.

Proof of Earnings Screen Shots: Every time I get a payout from a website, I usually like to take a screen shot of my earnings to post on my blog for the world to see. The only downside to screenshots is the fact that they can easily be photoshopped or changed, which causes some people to be skeptical of my earnings. I can tell you that I don’t have the time or interest in trying to photoshop my screenshots.

Check Proof Videos: To further prove my earnings to others, I like to take videos of the checks that I receive in the mail from various sources. Not all of the websites that I work with provide actual paper checks, but when they do I always record a video of the check. If you do the same, be sure and cover the personal information like you address, the check number and anything else you dont want visible to the public. There are two primary checks that I have been video taping every month my CashCrate check and my Google Adsense check.

Auto-Calculating Banners: I have a CashCrate banner atop my Residuals and Royalties blog that automatically updates when my earnings change. This banner shows the exact number of referrals I have made and how much money I have earned for the month as well as my total earnings overall. This banner is an excellent way to prove my earnings, since I have no way of altering the figures.

If you have another way that you use to prove the legitimacy of your online earnings, please let us know by commenting below.

There are many ways that you can earn money online some more lucrative than others. For instance, an author can look on Elance.com and find people who are offering short term contracts in return for articles or copywriting.

The problem with this method of earning money is that you wont ever get rich doing it unless you are really a talented individual and have a name that is in demand. 99% of authors on Elance.com expect to get paid a flat rate for an article which is fine in that they get their cheques to pay the bills but not fine if they want to have an internet marketing lifestyle.

Thats why I like article marketing. With article marketing you can use your writing skills to direct traffic to your web site, promote other peoples products (or your own if you have one!) and make a profit. The upside of this approach is that once you find a winning strategy then your return on investment (ie. The time spent to write the article) is far greater than writing on a per contract basis. Whats more, you can actually earn money without working. In other words, article marketing can help your income grow on auto-pilot.

How Does It Work?

As an author it is your job to get your content in front of the right target audience. There are many ways of doing this. You can submit your articles to article directories, you can write press releases or you can even do guest posting.

Guest posting is a particularly powerful method because you can put your articles in front of a large number of people and such great exposure can bring incredible traffic. Publishers are happy to post your guest articles as long as they contain quality information that will benefit the readers. In return they will let you have a link back to your web site or, in some instances, a link to the sales page of the affiliate product that you are promoting.

How To Write An Article

The most important thing to realize when writing an article is that the body of the article must add value to the reader. If the body doesnt add value and comes across as a sales pitch then this will drastically hinder your chances of getting published and, if it does get published, of making any sales.

Your Resource Box

Probably the most important part of any article is something known as an article resource box. This always comes at the end of your article and is where you are allowed to make a one or two line pitch of your web site.

Many people really struggle to write a good resource box, but it is oh so important. You need to make sure that your resource box is benefit driven, blind (for curiosity), has a strong call to action (ie. click here now) and is highly targeted to the audience in mind. You should really be aiming at a click through rate of around 20%.

Whats The Earning Potential?

Ive heard many of my fellow internet marketers claim that there isnt any money in article marketing. Unfortunately, they are just doing it wrong because there is plenty of money to be made in fact my full-time income is a result of article marketing alone. At this point, I dont focus on any other type of traffic generation thats how powerful it is.

The oldest of the Baby Boomer generation are now starting to retire and many are finding they cant. This is because they havent saved enough money as they thought Social Security would be enough to get them though to the end. It turns out that inflation and longer life spans have made it so more money is needed to retire than they ever thought.

There are options for many of these newly retired people and they come in the form of finding income sources online. Alans blog does a good job of outlining many of them and the Internet means that a supplemental income can be generated by almost anyone. All it takes is a time commitment and a willingness to learn.

Unfortunately, while this opportunity is available to everyone, this older generation is the least likely to take advantage of it. Not having grown up on computers, the online world is still a mystery to many people who are 60 years and older. This is a shame because that is the very age group that could benefit the most from the opportunities it affords.

Most seniors dont need a full time income to get by. All they need is an extra $100 to $500 a month and amounts like that are very doable online. Whether it be an additional income from freelance writing jobs, creating Hubpages and adding Adsense to them, or filling out surveys, seniors could be earning that additional money they need right from the comfort of their homes.

Blogging and knowing how to get search engine traffic is another example of something anyone can learn if they put their mind to it. This blog is an example of that and it makes good money in the process. If they don’t want to have to rely on the search engines, pay per click marketing is an alternative that many people have made a lot of money doing. Although it does come with some risk, the nice thing is all that is needed is a computer and Internet connection. It seems the possible ways to make money online are vast indeed.

Baby boomers have all the creative and writing abilities to succeed online and yet many of them shy away because of their unfamiliarity and unwillingness to learn anything new. This lack of technical knowledge means they aren’t taking part in one of the biggest advances in our lifetimes. This Internet does have its detractors but as a means to do business and make money, it has been a lifesaver for many. It’s just too bad that more seniors don’t take advantage of it!
