Affiliate Marketing

Here's How You Can Generate Cash From the Internet

Number 1 Secret - Google Loves ARTICLE DIRECTORIES

Places to Post:

Ezinearticles.com

Goarticles.com

Searchwarp.com

Google loves UsFreeAds free classifieds site too! Their favorite for more than 2 years.

Power of Wordpress.com and Squidoo.com to market is a little more work, but well worth it. Both are FREE!

When you post an ad, message or article on one of the above sites, as shown below, your ad, message or article will be on the 1st page of Google in as soon as 2 days-2 weeks.

Number 2 Secret - Google's First Page 90% of the Time

Target a keyword phrase showing between 1000 to 5000 optimized results on Google.

Optimized results are -

If you go to Google and type in any search phrase in quotes "" and look on the far right the number of results listed, in simple terms, is how many pages you are competing with:

Let's look at an example:

"network marketing"

370 Million, that's too much competition! Try this:

"network marketing free tools"

1100 results! Way better than trying to compete with hundreds of millions of pages. 

If you wrote an article, an ad or posted a message on "network marketing free tools" depending on where you post it to you would show up on the 1st page of Google in 2 days - 2 weeks. Without spending any money – FREE!

Also note their are 8 paid ads for this phrase. That says if people are paying for ads they are most likely making money, but paying per click and you will be there for free!

Find Low Competition Keywords – Worth the Effort

Spend some time with https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

It is free and will show trends for keywords and what people are searching for with a phrase from the short generic term you start with.

The following keyword software program is not free, though good for you to think about as a tool to work with.

Let THE MARKET show you what they want.  Don’t just guess.

I start up my handy Adword Analyzer and set it to use the Google Keyword Tool and make sure the quotes are turned on and I hit start search and it goes to town.

Tip: Look at the "google ads" column to see if anybody is paying for ads, if they are it‘s likely that I would write an article. Simple right?

Now don’t think..."Oh Great! I have to get some program I have to pay for to do this". NO! Not really. You can use the free resources listed here. It will take some more time but you can do that until you have some sales under behind you then I would recommend investing in your business with Adwords Analyzer.

Here are some phrases to get your creativity going. You can write cash pulling articles and ads for months and months using these the way I have shown you above.

Number 3 Secret – As much SEO as you need in a nutshell

SEO - search engine optimization or getting your pages on the search engines free

The title of your article is most important.

Make sure your phrase is included in the article.

Think of a clickable title.

Write a relevant article! Make sure the content includes your phrase and supports information pertaining to it!

Make sense?

Time to Earn Some Money

If you have been doing internet marketing for any amount of time, I am sure your head is full of ideas.

If you are somewhat new to internet marketing; you might be thinking "So what? How is this going to help me make money?

Now place affiliate links in your article, ad, or message. These are links to companies you are an affiliate for.

Many companies including Wal-mart, Best Buy, Dish Network and many others pay you a commission for sending them a visitor that buys one of their products. You just visit the companies website and look for a link that says "affiliates", "affiliate program", "associates" or "partners". There will usually be instructions on how to sign up. Affiliate programs are ALWAYS FREE.

Many people start with one of the most respected companies online called Clickbank.com, just click on the link that says sign up. You will find thousands of digital products there to sell. The average commission is 50%! Checks come like clockwork every two weeks! THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START!

Important Submission Considerations

We have talked mostly about 3 sites, there are many more, but for earning some decent and fast cash on the internet using articles and ads these are the "Big 3"

GoArticles.com: This site has awesome PR and is perfect for a new person to internet marketing that does not have a website because GoArticles allows you to link directly to the merchant website.

UsFreeAds: Great site for a newbie with no website! Also, great for advanced marketers as Google loves UsFreeAds. Most ads when you follow the formula will show up on Google in 2 weeks.

One of the primary advantages of UsFreeAds is direct linking to merchant is allowed. A paragraph will show up in on the first page of Google easily, just remember to put your phrase as the title.

IMPORTANT: UsFreeAds does not have the same PR as GoArticles or EzineArticles...you need to adjust your formula to 1000 (one thousand) or less optimized results on Google.

EzineArticles: The most powerful of them all with a PR 6 or PR 7! EzineArticles will get you listed on the first page with up to 10,000 competing results.

 The drawbacks are you need to write a decent article as they are reviewed by a real person. Affiliate links are NOT allowed so you will need to point them at a website you own with content OR a page that redirects to your affiliate site. 

As an alternative you can set up a free blog at Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. You cannot do blatant selling in the body of your article, but in the "Bio Box".

More ezine publishers and website owners go to EzineArticles for good content than any other site. What does that mean for you? It means that you may wake up one morning with 10, 20 or more sales because your article was used in a large site or online publication. Sweet rewards when that happens!

I have made a couple thousand dollars within a span of a week being picked up in large publications. This would be considered a home run, but most of my money is made batting singles and doubles.

Note: All of those sites FREE! The only exception would be UsFreeAds which allows free ad submission, but I do recommend going for the premium membership which is a measly $9 a month and you get to place unlimited ads complete with photos and all the HTML tools.

Article Writing Help

In the introduction: Tell them what you are going to say in the article.

In the body: Tell them the information that supports the title and the introduction!

In the summary: Tell them what you told them, short recap!

BIO Box: Very Important - a sentence or two about you and then lead into your promotion.

Example "Did you find these tips on XXXX helpful? You can learn a lot more about how XXXX can help you XXXX here."

Also, if the site you are promoting is giving away a free course or free tour or a free anything, make sure you mention that in your BIO.

Tips to Make Writing Your Articles a Breeze

You do not have to do big long essays style articles! I think this is one of the big reasons people do not write more articles.

You can write a super article in 200 to 500 words and use one of the following really simple formats:

Tips - People LOVE tips - 7 tips to - 3 easy tips and so on. These are simple to write.

FAQ's - One of my favorites! FAQ's (frequently asked questions) are so easy to write! Find the top 3 to 5 questions people have on a particular subject and answer them! People love these types of articles and minimal research is required even for more complicated subjects!

Review Articles - Have you bought a movie, book, software or other item that you really liked? Write a review on it. People love good honest reviews. I know a couple people making some really good money reviewing movies. These articles get TONS of traffic and there are lots of affiliate programs where you can make a nice commission on movie rentals & DVD sales. It just does not get any more fun than that.

Getting to the Money!

First you’ll need to find keyword phrases you can dominate quickly (the 1000 to 5000 optimized results rule)

So let's go to a free tool you can use right away:

Overture Inventory Tool or Free Wordtracker Tool

Now think of things that I are hot...hot...hot right now and you want to start out with a broad term to see what people are interested in.

So I know the term PSP is hot right now and I know music is always hot so lets try those and see what we get.

So we type in PSP MUSIC into the tool and here's a partial of what we get:

Now here is a little secret, the more words the phrase has as a general rule the less optimized results that phrase will have and people typing that phrase in the search engine are more likely to buy.

Lets look at "how to put music on the psp".

Here is what it shows on Google:

A little too much competition but not bad and worth a try since it gets so many searches.

If you have a number of these going a catapult to financial freedom!

I Hope You Are Getting Excited

It really is simple and you can do this to get immediate sales, build your opt-in list or even to drive traffic to your Adsense Pages.

You just need to do it and get to work!

FAQ's

Where can I find products to promote?

There are tons of places...but I highly recommend starting at Clickbank and Commission Junction. Clickbank is by far the easiest!
Another great one for travel try My Great Rate Travel!

 How much money can I make?

This is really up to you. You will make nothing if you don't get to work. I personally make over $3000 a month just from Free Marketing and I spend very minimal time Free Marketing now as I primarily use Pay Per Click now because I have the capital to invest thanks to Free Marketing!

At times you will strike out, sometimes you will hit singles and doubles with articles that give you $100 or $200 a month and then you will hit some home runs where an ezine publisher likes your article so much that they send it out to their list. I have woke up in the morning with hundreds of dollars of sales on one program because my article was picked up.

On average every article or ad I write brings in $20 a month. This is not set in stone but has worked out well for me so write 10 articles and you have an extra $200 a month for months and months (If you follow the guide lines I have given with Free Marketing) when you start to get good at writing ads and articles writing 10 a day is not impossible!

Is there a faster way to find low competition phrases to target?

Yes, after you start making some money I would highly recommend that you get Adwords Analyzer. It is $77 and will pay for itself with a couple articles. If you want to make Marketing even easier I only recommend Adwords Analyzer for  Free Marketing simply because it is the only keyword software that I have found that allows you to use the Google database and not just Overture which is extremely helpful in finding low competition phrases.

How much should I take the amount of searches a phrase gets into consideration?

It is better to have 10 articles on phrases that only get 1000 searches a month than to have one article that gets 10,000 searches a month because if your one article gets bumped you will have lost that income. Your 10 articles will probably stay up for months or even years!

I am not a very good writer...what would you recommend?

I would recommend starting with UsFreeAds you can start for free, but for $9 a month you can have unlimited ads and they rank very quickly and well.

With UsFreeAds you can write a small paragraph an ad instead of doing a full blown article.

I also would suggest that writing doesn't have to be difficult just write like you talk. Give good valuable information and you will do ok. Remember you are not going to fail because you run out of money since with Free Marketing you are not paying for every click.

I do not have a website...can I still use ezinearticles.com?

Yes, you can set up a FREE Blog at Blogger.com or Wordpress.com

My first ad/article is sooo bad I am embarassed to put my name on it!

So don't! Use a pen name or pseudonym like a stage name. 90% of all the articles I write are not under my name, not because 90% of my articles suck but because I do not want my competition to type my name in and see every market that I am in.

Will this stop working?

In a word NO! The players may change. Google may drop GoArticles.com but I guarantee there will always be sites Google is in love with where you can use Free Marketing. Just look at the pages that show up when you are searching low competition phrases. There are hundreds of sites that I have not even mentioned here. I am only mentioning the big three as these are the ones that have been working for years.

What about MSN and Yahoo?

I primarily focus on Google because it brings in plenty of loot. But MSN likes ezinearticles.com, Yahoo likes Adpost.com and I have had good look with Yahoo putting up pages on their free websites at Geocities. All three seem to like Wordpress.com and WordPress is VERY powerful. I have seen new blogs dominate phrases with over 50,000 competition.

My ad/article shows up at position #6...Can I get it higher?

Yes there are really only a couple major factors involved on page optimization and inbound links. Quite simply ranking is a popularity contest. The more websites that link to you and the importance of the website linking to you increases your popularity.

Let's say that you put up an ad on UsFreeAds that is ranked #6 and you want to bump it up a notch or two. What you do is write an article and post it to Goarticles.com and in that article link to your UsFreeAds. Quite simple, if you do not move up then you may need to do this a few more times.

Or you can put your UsFreeAds ad in your sig file and post on forums (Don't spam).

But I highly recommend the first method. You can kill two birds with one stone. You get another article and increase your popularity score for another of your articles.

As a side note: I would only really bother with this under two situations: 1) You are making money on the #6 spot so moving it up could make you more money 2) You are on the second page of Google and you strongly feel that this ad or article would make money if on the first page.

Final Words

GET STARTED! Free Marketing Methods works great and the sky is your only limit.

I have helped friends, family members and many folks I have met on the web make their very first money in internet marketing using the Free Marketing Methods.

Make a challenge to yourself say you want an extra $200 a month so make yourself write 10 articles or ads. Maybe you won't hit that $200 your first month but once you do start and get your first check in the mail you’ll be hooked!

If you have an extra hour a day commit to writing on article or ad a day. After 1 month you will have 30 articles and after 2 months you will have 60 articles; after 3 months 90 articles.

So lets say after 3 months you've got 90 articles. Some were strike outs some were singles and you hit a few doubles. Average you are getting $20 a month PER ARTICLE X 90 = $1800 a month!

That is for just ONE ARTICLE PER DAY - JUST ONE - you can seriously do this – IF - YOU WILL JUST DO IT.

NO EXCUSES remember I am not selling you a thing here I have nothing to gain by you posting 90 articles to ezinearticles except for the fact that I want to feel I have helped you and other people.

$1800 a month is LIFE CHANGING for many people that I know. If I can just help ONE more person with my "Free Marketing Methods" that is a GREAT feeling, a feeling that money cannot buy.

Now let me tell you what is going to happen at first: You are going to start writing your first ad or article and you are going to say to yourself "This is a crappy article". DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. I have written my share of crappy ads and articles just finish it and write the next one and the next one and the next one. In the process of researching and reading other peoples articles and writing your own your articles WILL IMPROVE. Keep your eye on the goal. Whether it is $200 a month, $1800 a month or $18,000 a month.

Yes You suck! So What? Use a pen name and write your next article. A concert pianist sucks the very first time he sits down at the piano and he probably sucks for a long time after that but he just keeps on playing and playing and playing.

Writing ads and articles is a lot easier than becoming a concert pianist AND IT PAYS MUCH MORE!

Will you change your life? Come on! Will you get started and CHANGE YOUR LIFE?

Or...

Will you click off this page never to give this another thought?

Will you spend another $49 on another ebook on the hottest thing to make you money and then another and then another and then another.

Stop spending money on more books that take you away from your focus!

"Free Marketing" will work for you if you get started and keep putting up ads and articles I promise you!
