The Road To Success

Currently, there are thousands of online enthusiasts
who are taking the plunge and joining the community
of affiliate marketers. With e-commerce booming,
and the internet dominating the business world,
becoming an affiliate marketer is a very wise choice.

To be successful with affiliate marketing, it's always
best to learn the basics of the affiliate marketing
business, then realize what sacrifices will need
to be made for you to accomplish your goals. To
get to the top of affiliate marketing, you'll need
to make the necessary sacrifices.

Before you join any type of program, you should
learn as much as possible about the company. It's
actually very easy to research companies, as search
engines are easily the one of the most primary
sources for information. To be on the safe side,
you should ensure that the program and company has
been operating for several years - which can be
easily and properly verified.

One such company is the Money Legs Development
network.  Online continuously from 1999, it is a complete
suite of online advertising and marketing programs.
With a wide range of products that are geared for Newbies
and seasoned veterans and everyone in between. This is
one of the most stable, credible and constantly up to
the minute sites on the 'net for the person who wants
a complete system to make money online and is
willing to do their "due diligence". Join for FREE and check
it out. Click here.

Many individuals are under the impression that you
can earn a lot of money with affiliate marketing
and not have to invest a penny. Even though
the majority of these programs are free to join,
you'll have to invest money at some point in
time during your affiliate marketing career.

More than likely, this money will be used for
advertising and the promotion of web sites. In
most scenarios however, the amount of money spent
will be earned back with a little bit of time.

Making it as an affiliate marketer will take
time, effort, and a lot of hard work. The more
of these qualities you put into your business,
the greater the success you'll achieve. You
should always be willing and ready to stick with
your program to build up your earnings.

You'll also need to design a variety of different
strategies and methods, which range from creating
web sites to product promotion. You'll also need
to advertise, as well as keep in constant contact
with your affiliates. You should be ready to
put in the most time during the first few months
of your program, as once your network begins to
get established, your work load will lighten.

Even though the system of affiliate marketing
may seem overwhelming at first, you should realize
that you are surrounded by online support. A
lot of the individuals who join affiliate programs
are new to the business.

Many organizations and companies have around the
clock support forums and customer support for
those affiliates who need advice or assistance.
A lot of web sites are equipped with e-books,
tutorials, articles, and tips that will make your
quest of becoming an affiliate marketer a little
bit easier.

SWARM PROJECT
Do it yourself web site optimization

Q. What will I learn from the Swarm Project Class?

If you are thinking, “HEY; I have trouble even turning on my computer!”

A. Well, if you can turn on your computer and get connected to the 'Net, you or anyone who has the desire and dedication CAN learn Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and earn a living from it either online or off. And no, you don't have to be a “geek”!

You will learn that a properly optimized website is like a magnet to search engines and attracts website visitors the same way a moth is attracted to a light on a dark night....AND the traffic you receive is Targeted Traffic....meaning they are searching just for what you are offering!

The style of SEO you will be taught is called “Natural” or “Organic”....meaning people arrive at your website because they typed in a keyword or keyphrase that is relevant to your site, and because you will learn the proper optimization, you site will show up in the first few positions of the search results and gets the click-thru from the searcher.

MORE TARGETED VISITORS = MORE AFFILIATES =

MORE SALES = MORE INCOME!

Birth of Affiliate Marketing

2006-12-12 Posted at 10:16:56 AM

The Birth of Alliliate Marketing

In 1999, as many of the dot-coms crashed, a new form of consumer marketing was taking hold on the Internet. Web marketers, hungry to drive sales on e-commerce sites, launched affiliate networks that represented leading advertisers such as BMG, Blockbuster, NetFlix, Discover Card and hundreds of others in what is known as "affiliate marketing."

As affiliate networks grew, they provided savvy marketers with the opportunity to earn big commissions by generating sales for advertisers through the marketing of free gift sites online.

Part of the appeal of this type of marketing lies in its simplicity: It lets anyone with a presence on the Web promote and sell goods online and get paid a commission by the advertiser for sales generated. This opportunity affords nearly limitless venues for promotion and marketing, access to an instant sales force of thousands and no out-of-pocket media costs for advertisers.

One example is MoneyLegs Development Network, which is a network of traffic exchange sites that allow promotion of your own business. If you are looking for access to business and marketing resources that will save you time and money, then this is the opportunity you have been looking for.

Since MoneyLegs inception, it has delivered thousands of customers to hundreds of well-known brands. MoneyLegs connects consumers with marketers through advertising campaigns including Web, Search Engine and e-mail programs, plus traditional marketing channels such as offline print marketing.

You can earn commissions with Multiple Income Streams from downline building as well as through the Matrix and Profit Sharing. The company is essentially to be used to drive Web traffic to your sites. Rather than paying for advertising to persuade people to log on to clients' sites, MoneyLegs provides special online surfing incentives, such as free credits and other popular rewards.

The system that shows you how to ....

  • Maximize referrals
  • Surf more efficiently.
  • Add additional income streams!
  • Effectively promote your primary business

    5 Free And Essential Marketing Tools To Ensure Any Affiliate Partner’s Success

    5 Free And Essential Marketing Tools To Ensure Any Affiliate Partner’s Success

    Time and time again, it has been said that affiliate marketing is, without a doubt, the quickest and most efficient way of earning a living online. There are a variety of reasons for this. For starters, most affiliate programs do not require any enrollment fees. There is no financial investment on the part of the affiliate. Secondly, the affiliate is only tasked with pre-selling the affiliate merchant’s products. The sales page, the payment processing, the digital delivery, and the post sales services shall be borne by the affiliate merchant.

    These shouldn’t mean that the affiliate should want in commitment, however. As a matter of fact, an affiliate’s success wholly depends on how much commitment he could give the program, and how much effort he could invest to pursue such commitment.

    Sometimes, this requires some monetary expenses. Getting a web host, for example, as well as a domain name, would necessitate some cash to be laid out. Getting professionally made graphics to make his website attractive can also cost some dough, in the event that the affiliate cannot do this for himself. PPC advertising can equally be just as costly, if not even more, if the affiliate would ever decide to utilize this option.

    But not everything needs to come at a price. There are vital tools that would help ensure the affiliate’s success, and they can be availed of for free.

    Here are the top five tools under this category. Knowing them would give you the edge you need. Using them would give you the head start that would push your online enterprise to the next level.

    1. MoneyLegs. MoneyLegs is a traffic development club that allows you to advertise your site thousands of times daily. They offer 6 traffic exchanges that are free to join and free training to all members. You can check out the advantages at: http://www.mainthings.com and sign up from there is you feel this is something that would benefit your business

    2. NVU Website Creator. Macromedia Dreamweaver is too expensive? Microsoft Front Page is too complicated? Then the NVU Website Creator is the program for you. This software program streamlines the website creation process through an interface that is easy to use, but powerful enough to make professional-looking web pages. Download the client for free from www.nvu.com .

    3. Backlink Builder. If you’re maintaining your own website, either as a review center for your affiliate program’s products, or as an affiliate mall for the same, or even as a blog which promotes the aforementioned digital items, you will need to build a thorough list of backlinks to increase your page rank. The higher your page rank is, the better chances it will have of appearing in the first few pages of search engine results. Don’t know where to start? Use the free tool available at www.webconfs.com/backlink-builder.php to discover all the places where you could leave some links to your website.

    4. Keyword Selector Tool. Keywords are the primary ingredients of any search engine optimization (SEO) campaign. You will use them for your meta tags, your h1 tags, your ALT tags, your page title, and your content. You will even use them for the articles you will submit to the many article directories in the World Wide Web. The proper use of keywords would result in the more efficient documentation of your website so that the search engine spiders will have an easier time finding your web pages for any relevant query. And since 80% of the traffic that you will be able to generate for your website would come from the search engines, keywords become the most essential aspects of your site building efforts. Need to find the right keywords? Go to www.nichebot.com and use their powerful tool to determine the profitability of the keywords related to the affiliate products you will be promoting.

    5. Statcounter. You will need to study your website’s statistics so that you’ll know what you’re doing wrong, as well as replicate what you’re doing correctly. For this purpose, simply copy and paste the code that will be provided by www.statcounter.com to get in-depth reports about the performance of your website.

    All of these tools would improve your performance as an affiliate. And the fact that they all come without charge just makes the deal even sweeter. Try them out. Chances are, you will realize that the best things in life can be free after all.

    CoreFTP Tutorial

    2006-12-04 Posted at 03:07:20 PM

    CoreFTP Tutorial

    This tutorial describes how to use CoreFTP.

    CoreFTP can be downloaded for free at: http://www.coreftp.com

    For the sake of this tutorial, I will assume you already have your own domain "janedoe.com"
    and your ftp name is: "ftp@janedoe.com".

    Once you have your copy of CoreFTP installed  and open it up, you will see the following screen: which is the SITE MANAGER

     

    This is the screen you will enter your hosting information provided by your ISP.
    For my example it would be:

    • HOST: ftp.janedoe.com
    • User Name: janedoe
    • Password:  yourpassword
    NOTE: If you are behind a firewall, you may need to enable Passive Mode. You can do this by selecting the checkbox "PASV Transfers". 

    Once this information has been entered, click the "connect" button and you should see the following connection dialog: 


     

    If you are having problems connecting, here are some things to check out:

    1. If you just obtained your web hosting account, then your domain may not be ready yet.
    2. If you have recently changed hosting companies, your account may not be switched over,  if you have been given temporary settings, use them.
    3. If you are behind a firewall, you need to use Passive FTP, see NOTE above for setting this.
    Once your connection is made, the connection dialog will disappear and you should be returned to the main CoreFTP screen.

     

    The list of files/folders on the right is the view of your web hosting account.

    The list of files/folders on the left is the view of your files on your own computer local files

    You will notice a directory named "html" in your right (hosting) side. This is the directory where all your website files should be placed in order for them to be seen once you type in your domain address (http://www.janedoe.com) into a browser window.

    Another important and often overlooked fact is that you must have a file named Index.html or Index.htm.
    This acts as your homepage and when someone types in your URL
    the search engine will look for your Index page and load it first. If you are unsure about where your Index.htm or Index.html file is located, double click on the "html" folder and you will find a list of the "html" files
    and your Index will be listed there.


    You will also notice files named 404.HTML, 403.HTML, etc. These files can be used to setup custom 404 (page not found) error pages. Just edit these pages and customize them as you wish. 


    TRANSFERRING FILES

    Once you are connected, you can now start transferring your files to your FTP server.

    Open your public.html file by double-clicking on it.

    To upload your file, just hi-lite the Index.html or Index.htm file in your local directory (left side), then click on the upload button. (blue arrow pointing to right) Or you can just click and drag the file over to the remote directory listing.

    If a file already exists, you will be asked to "overwrite" the file. Overwriting will replace the file already there (you will usually want to overwrite as you are probably updating your site). If you don't want to overwrite, click on cancel

    When your upload is complete, you will see on the right (remote) side a list of the files your have transferred. 

    To download the your files from the server, find the files you want to download, and hi-lite them, the click on the download button (blue arrow pointing to left)
