Ziki De Naim's Internet Marketing Blog

Affiliate marketing is what you do when you promote products and services on behalf of another merchant. The merchant can be a store, or it can actually be the inventor of a certain product. When you sign up to be an affiliate, Click bank, commission junction, link Share etc. you're given your own unique affiliate code. You embed this code in all the promotions you do online, so that whenever someone clicks on one of your links, the merchant will know that prospect came from you. If the prospect you sent makes a purchase, you get a commission on the sale. Sometimes those commissions can be pretty hefty! There are affiliate marketers that make $10,000 a month and more!

You can start affiliate marketing today. It doesn't require any special skills or equipment. All you need is how to find the right product to promote, and a knowledge of how to promote effectively.

Some people start affiliate marketing with no money at all, simply using free blogs to promote their affiliate products. However, it takes a while for traffic to start coming in this way, so you need to be patient if you choose to go that route.

You'll do much better much more quickly if you have your own website on your own domain name. Fortunately, you can get both for less than $20.Unlimited BlueHost com domains hosting is my favourite, and you can get a blog/website set up within minutes by simple script function from your cpanel . Search engines pick up these types of sites pretty quickly,

If you are going to use a blog you can install some powerful plugin's that will help to get quality  back links and traffic you need to make sales a lot faster.

These days i'm publishing a list of my favourite plugin's that I use in most of my blogs, some of them are common plugin's that you can get from wordpress org - and other powerful plugin's you'll be able to get after reading “my favourite plugin's blog posts series” that I will be publishing almost every day during the current month.  

There are literally dozens of creative methods you can use to promote your affiliate products...far too many to list all of them here, but the one that working very good for me is by writing and submitting articles to the main articles directories.

By investing into your real home business to buy a comprehensive affiliate marketing training, you'll be putting yourself leaps and bounds ahead of your competition. Invest in yourself intelligently, and you'll be well on your way to making good money online.

The most comprehensive affiliate marketing training “The ClickBank Code” was created by Michael Jones, a well appreciated affiliate marketer and products creator and I give it my highest recommendation. I used his methods and still using them in almost every promotion and it works like magic. You will be able to learn everything from choosing the right product to promote, highly effective niche research techniques using various free tools and traffic generation techniques.

SEM or search engine marketing is one way to help webmaster and marketers know about SEO and other marketing stuff that is essential to the growth of the online business.

A good SEM – how to marketing campaign is one way to make certain that your website will rank, but in order to do this you must know some of the marketing techniques that could optimizes your site. Below are the following basic search engines marketing strategies to rank in the search engine results page (SERP).

SEO Tools – It is hard to get started if you have no idea about SEO works and even if you do the job can be overwhelming, so the right tools to help you with your search engine optimization is a must. Free website tools such as Google keyword tool can provide you with keywords to use for your marketing campaign and linking ideas. 

Keyword research must be done very carefully while paying attention to various aspects of the keyword such as global monthly searches, competition etc. My advice would be that while doing your keyword research using Google keyword tool. Be sure that descriptive words or phrases (use synonyms) is selected, then enter your main keyword in the text box and press the "Get keyword ideas" to get the additional keywords ideas. These are LSI keywords that you can use in your content to safely add to the strength of the main keyword.

You'll get a list of keywords that are related to the main keyword. Scroll down until you come to "Additional keywords to consider" - LSI Keywords. Write down the main keyword or keyword phrase and sub keywords and refine your research for every one of them while writing down their sub keywords and their LSI keywords suggested by the tool.

LSI stands for Latent Semantic Indexing. They appear in the lower table just below the main keywords results, According to Wikipedia, Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is an indexing and retrieval method that uses a mathematical technique called Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to identify patterns in the relationships between the terms and concepts contained in an unstructured collection of text. LSI is based on the principle that words that are used in the same contexts tend to have similar meanings. In simple words, LSI keywords are just words that relate to your main keyword or keyword phrase and the search engine gives them additional importance so you should use them in every optimization process.

Although some SEO experts would say that you shouldn't pay attention to the keyword density, I still think that although the search engine pays less attention to the density issue, it would be better to keep your keyword density around 2% - 3% and if you are using LSI keywords in the optimization process, your web page would have better chances to rank high.  

Social Media Marketing – This is one marketing tool that I can not live anymore without and you can tap effectively as the number of users online that patronizes this are growing everyday and if you become successful with it, your website will go a long way. But before deciding to jump into the bandwagon you must try to know everything about social media marketing first before anything else.

If you are using a WordPress blog, you can install social media plugin's that will do most of the work by spreading the word every time you click to publish a post. ( you'll be able to read more about my favorite WP plugin's in the WordPress plugin category published throughout the current month).

Site Structure SEO – Knowing everything about search engine and how spiders store information can bring you a long way into marketing your website. So make friends with so called crawlers as this is crucial to your SEO works.

Video Search – SEO'ers and a growing number of internet marketers have seen the potential of video to market their products and this is a good leverage for your business. There are also optimizations to be done with video and thus knowledge is essential to become successful with it. Personally, I'm not using video so much for my SEO purposes but for my clients. I used to be a professional musician/blues guitarist and I’m sick and tired of being in the lights, that's why I'm hiding behind my top :). Anyway, a little tip for optimizing U-Tube video pages.

When you create a video and if you are using Camtasia, you can and should place a clickable link at the bottom of the video or at least at the end of the video. If you plan to upload a video to U-Tube you should try to optimize that U-Tube's video page and it can be easily done by making sure you use the description box in a wise way. You want to start by placing an anchor text using your top keyword linking to your site in the title of the description box, just below, write a short or long description, it can be some phrases or better, a full lenth unique content article of 400 - 500 words using your main keyword and two other LSI keyword throughout the article.

You can link a second time the main keyword to your home page preferably near the end of the article and an LSI keyword to an inner page of your site carrying the same LSI keyword in that page meta tag so you'll have a total of three links in that video page.   

If you have an author page on EzineArticles or on GoArticles you can link to one of these pages instead of using the third link  to point to you site but this is a linking strategy that would be too long to describe here so I will write about it in the future.

Article Marketing – The oldest marketing strategy that is free, easy to do and that is very, very effective if done the right way, however very time consuming as writing is not easy even if you have a flair for writing. In addition, you will need to submit this to article directories with your link indicated in an optimized author’s box. Keep in mind that at least bi-weekly submission of quality and unique content articles is necessary to help your site rank because a onetime submission is not enough to make you successful online.

All these are just some of the marketing campaign that requires a search engine optimization. If you are already overwhelmed by the workload just by reading them think how much time you will need to do all these just to rank. No amount of working hard can make you do all these as we only have 24 hours every day and not all that time can be use to market your website.

SEM – how to rank high is easy with a partner that you can trust? You do not need to be fully knowledgeable but only to be smart by employing the help of a tool or outsourcing the work. If you can allow them to help you there is a possibility to do all these, but you have to ensure that the search engine marketing company that will help you is indeed knows what they are doing.

Finding ways to make money online isn't as difficult as you may think. Today, there are more ways than ever to earn a good living from home, and many of the best opportunities are web-based. Most can be started for little to no money, and the potential for earning cash is almost limitless! Here are some of the top low to no cost home businesses you can start today.

    A. Domaining - Domaining is the art of buying and selling domain names. A domain name is the URL of a website, such as http://www.YourDomainName.com.

Domain names are very valuable pieces of online real estate, and fortunes are made in them every year. It only costs about $10 to buy a domain (or less, if you find a coupon to use at BlueHost or another name registrar). You can then turn around and sell that name to someone who really wants it for hundreds or even thousands of dollars!

Go to NamePros and DNForum to find out what type of domain names are in demand, and also see what's selling on eBay (a good place to sell your domains). Then go to BlueHost and buy a few, put them up for sale, and see what happens!

    B. Freelance Writing - Content is king - The Internet is full of people who need other people to write for them. You see all those millions of websites out there? Someone had to write the content for those sites. Why shouldn't you get in on some of that action? It's possible to make $50,000 a year or more as an online freelance writer. Just look around at E-lance or at the Warrior Forum – “Warriors for hire” or on some of the message boards devoted to the subject of "make money online" and see who's looking for writers, or post your own ad offering your services.

    C. Affiliate Marketing -This is one of the easiest online businesses to run, and the money potential is limitless. With affiliate marketing, you simply promote someone else's product or service online, and get a commission any time someone buys that product or service through one of your links. Commissions can be quite hefty, running anywhere from 50% to 95% of the purchase price.

Find products to promote at Clickbank, LinkShare and Commission Junction, then put up a free website (like a Blogger blog) to promote the product. You can use reviews of the product or informational articles about it on your website, then include a link to the merchant's page for people to buy. The merchant will give you your own unique affiliate link when you sign up as an affiliate, so just use this link on your page, so sales can be credited to you.

Articles submitted to EzineArticles, GoArticles, ArticleDashboard and similar articles directories are a great and very effective way to drive targeted traffic to the offer you are promoting.

In my next blog posts series I will go deeper into affiliate marketing techniques or you can sign up here to get "The Affiliate Marketer's Handbook".

    D. Online Surveys -Yes, believe it or not, there IS money to be made in the online surveys business and when I just started my online carrier I used it quite a lot. There are several sites that let you sign up for free and fill out as many surveys and offers as you like. Most offers are totally free and provide market surveys for you to fill out or trial offers to sign up for using your credit card (just cancel before the trial is over and your card won't be charged). Depending on the offer, you can usually make between a few cents and around $40.

Do this enough times a day, and the money really starts to add up. One of the best online surveys sites is CashCrate.com The real beauty of Cash Crate is that it pays you not only for the offers YOU fill out, but also gives you a percentage of the offers your referrals fill out. Refer enough people, and you can easily make around $1,000 a month or more with Cash Crate alone. These are some of the best and most effective ways to make money online.

Since i've started blogging i was scrambling every day to try to drive more traffic to my blogs, increase their newsletter subscribers and increase their revenue.  I've tried almost anything from ppc to article marketing and it seems that content syndication brought me the best results, With this article, you'll discover what content syndication is and how it could benefit your blog.

Content syndication is when you give permission for your copyrighted content to be posted on other people's sites.  One of the most commonly used methods for content syndication on the web is submitting unique content articles with a link or two to your site in it to the main article directories such as EzineArticles, GoArticles etc. Other people who are looking for good content for their own site can use that article providing that they leave your article bio box intact. 

Another method of content syndication is to create accounts with the various Web 2.0 sites and post your content to them.  There are many, many sites available to do this with these days.  This method, however, is very time consuming if you want to post your content on more than a few sites.  You can outsource it, of course, but if you pay by the hour, it could get rather costly because it will be just as time consuming for the worker you hire.

The benefits of content syndication for your blog are tremendous, though. You can increase your traffic to your blog, increase the number of subscribers to your list, increase your sales and revenue, increase your presence, authority and branding; and increase your rankings in the search engines.  That is how powerful content syndication can be.

Content syndication will increase your traffic by extending the reach of your content.  When they see and enjoy your piece elsewhere, they will naturally want to read more of what you have to say and so will click through the link to visit your blog.  While they're there, they will see more of your excellent content which will result in an increase in subscribers and sales or revenue. 

With each piece of content syndicated, you gain another backlink to your blog.  These backlinks are like votes, telling the search engines that people like your blog.  This results in your blog rising in the search engine rankings.  Between being higher in the rankings plus all the content you have out there, you gain credibility and authority in the eyes of the reader. 
 

Get the power of content syndication without all the hard work!  Click here to discover the secret to automating your blog syndication for huge benefits today.  Visit "Content Syndication Plugin" and eliminate the hard work of syndicating your blog content.
