TEAM Up with other marketers...

Hi,

Welcome to the second issue of the "$10k Every Month" crash course!

If you like the idea of making a lot of money, but you do not like the idea of creating your own products, then -

You may want to consider affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is when two marketers come together - one with a product and one with an audience - and they split the profits on any sales they make together. The affiliate sends traffic to the product creator's sales page, and the product creator closes the sale and gives a commission to the affiliate for every paid referral.

You can become an affiliate for nearly anything - from Dell computers to beer-making machines to books and products on sites like Amazon.

However, when you're an affiliate for physical products, you generally receive a small commission - perhaps only 5% or 10%. That means if you're selling a $100 product, you'll only get $5 or $10 for every paid referral you send to the merchant.

Important: Don't discard affiliate marketing just yet. You see, if you promote downloadable products like ebooks, you can get as much as 50%, 75% or even a full 100% commission for every product you sell!

Now imagine those sorts of commissions on a $100 product, and you can see how the money will pile up pretty quickly in your bank account!

Here's an overview of how to make your fortune with affiliate marketing:

1) Find a hungry market. Some people find a product and then go looking for a market. A better way to do it is to find a hungry market that's flush with cash first (because finding a product is the easy part).

2) Find out what this market is already buying. The easiest way to make money online is to sell what people are already buying.

3) Find suitable products. Go to Clickbank.com to browse for affiliate products that are similar to what the market is already buying. Be sure to read the products and research the merchant to make sure you're dealing with a good merchant.

4) Set up a lead-capture page. NEVER send your leads straight to the merchant's page. Instead, set up an autoresponder series and a related freebie (like a free ebook) to get all leads on your mailing list. THEN you can recommend that those on your mailing list purchase certain products.

5) Start sending traffic to your lead capture page, using pay per click marketing, search engine optimization, article marketing, blogging, social media marketing, forum marketing, viral marketing and similar strategies.

That's it! Just build a list of targeted buyers, find affiliate products that solve their problems, and recommend those products.

Just like that, you're on a path to $10,000 a month!

To Your Success,

Making Money Online - what's the BIG "secret"?

Hi ,

I don't often use the word "secret" when sharing advice about online marketing. The truth is, that word is a bit scammy to me.

But with more and more people trying their hand at internet marketing -- and EVERYONE who has a website -- the question of what's the internet marketing "secret" comes up over and over again.

Why is it that some people are successful and some people can go on for years and never make it work?

Well, I believe there are many factor that go into how successful you'll be online.

First of all, do you have the drive and belief in yourself? Many successful internet marketers declare that this is really all it takes. Tenacity, dedication, and belief in yourself. When you think about it, they could be right.

Another "secret" is being able to leverage off of the experience and knowledge of those who are successful.

Of all the ways, this is the one I believe most in. I mean, What better way to break into internet marketing than to be under the tutelage of someone who is a proven success?

There are several ways you can do this. You can sign up for some of the free material that they offer, such as videos, e-books, webinars, courses, etc.

You can pay a little more for some of their "unpersonalized" methods. Or you can get one-on-one or close to it from these people themselves. This is a great way to see what is really working in today's internet marketing world. It changes so quickly that if you are new, you could be doing things that worked years ago, but are now outdated.

Finally, do your best to avoid jumping around from one course, e-book, or program to the next will just leave you spinning your wheels in confusion.

Hope my short advice today has been helpful.

Talk to you next time.

To Your Success,
Allen Payne

Money is in the list

Hey,

I'm back in touch again this Thursday with more online marketing tips.

I'll be brief today. Let's talk about Email Marketing.

Building a list of subscribers for email marketing is one of the MOST fundamental strategies online. It is also pretty boring, so many people tend to overlook it.

In fact, building an optin list that you can market and re-market to, is a core component of any business. Whether you use GetResponse, iContact, Constant Contact or Aweber, it's an essential.

The reason is it becomes your silent-ever-present salesperson, available 24/7 365 to stay in front of people.

Much like this message right now. :)

But make sure your email followup process provides the reader with solid takeaway and value.

There's no need focusing on Facebook and Twitter when you're lacking a simple core strategy such as building your opt-in lists. In my view, your subscriber lists trumps ANYTHING and everything social media related today.

Short and sweet and hope it helps.

Talk next time.

TYPE your way to $10k...

Hi ,

Welcome to the first issue of the "$10k Every Month" crash course!

Here's a direct path to $10,000 monthly:

Create and sell your own information products.

Many people who are just starting out don't even realize that they have knowledge that other people would be willing and even eager to pay for - and chances are, there's a book in you that could make you rich! Maybe:

You've lost a lot of weight and could teach others to do the same. You know how to stretch the family budget. You could teach others how to create and sell crafts. You know how to get into graduate school. You know how breed and raise poodles.

The above list includes just five ideas... but the sky is the limit!

Take time to brainstorm your interests and talents, and you'll quickly discover that you know a lot about a particular topic.

So once you've figured out what to write about, what do you do next?

Below is a step-by-step overview of the entire process. Remember that most of what you see on the list below can be outsourced to competent freelancers:

1) Research the market to ensure your idea is profitable. You're goal isn't to find a market and give them a product that requires them to first be educated about why they need this product. That's the long, hard and expensive way of making money. Instead, your goal is to choose a hungry niche... and then give them a product that they're ALREADY buying.

2) Research the competition so you can develop a better product. Now, you don't want to just give your market the exact same product as the competitors are delivering to the customers. You want to make your product unique - and you want to make it better. So your next step is to research the competitors' products to discover how you can improve upon the products the market is already buying.

3) Create the product. Next, it's time to take action. Shut the ringer off on your phones, lock the door, close your email... and start typing. Start with an outline and a goal to write XXXX of words per day. Then keep typing until you finish your ebook - don't worry about editing, because you can do that once the draft is finished.

Quick Tip: If you don't like to type, then try a voice-to-text product like Dragon Naturally Speaking.

If creating the product doesn't sound like something you want to do yourself, then outsource the task.

4) Set up your website, including a lead-capture system. Next, you need to write a sales letter that sells your ebook and upload it to a web page. You'll also want to set up a squeeze page with an autoresponder as a means to get your visitors to join your newsletter list. This is important, because most people won't buy your ebook the first time they visit your site - the money is in your list!

5) Set up your backend sales system. Most people don't get rich selling just one product. Instead, they find their wealth is hidden in the backend of their business - this is where existing customers buy more products and more expensive products from you.

As such, even as you create your first product, you need to also be developing your backend sales system. You should set up various ways to contact and pitch additional products to your existing customers, such as by email, postal mail, membership site forums, blogs or even through links in the products they've already purchased.

And there you have it - the five-step path to riches.

It's not a complicated process. Indeed, you can boil it down to a few words:

Find a hungry market and give them what they want.

Heeding the advice in the last line will put you on your path to $10,000 a month

TAP into the Backend automatically..

Hi,

Welcome to the third issue of the "$10k Every Month" crash course!

As you've already discovered from the previous two paths to riches, the money isn't in your products... it's in your list.

And the easiest money you'll ever make is by selling more products and more expensive products to your existing customers (i.e., sell on the "backend" of your business).

Smart marketers spend considerable amounts of time building their sales funnels (backend sales systems).

They know the hard part is getting the prospect into the funnel - but once the prospect starts buying, they'll continue to buy provided you're solving their problems and giving them a good buying experience.

And so savvy marketers are constantly coming up with new ideas, creating new products, and figuring out ways to convert their existing customers into repeat buyers.

Now imagine if you could sell a product to your customer once... and then do so automatically every month after that, with no additional persuasion on your part. Would that make it easier for you to run your business? And would you be able to make a whole lot more money? Yes and yes!

Fortunately, there already exists a way for you to tap into the backend income automatically and effortlessly.

Namely, by creating a monthly membership site.

Here's the idea - instead of selling a new product to your customers every month, you set up a membership site with a monthly fee. Your customers are billed automatically. And all you have to do is update the site once a month. You can even outsource this task, meaning you're earning a residual income almost on autopilot!

Just imagine setting up a membership site with a $20 monthly fee and getting just 500 customers. Each and every month your payment processor rebills these customers, and you earn another fast $10,000!

Here are just a few ideas for membership sites you could set up:

A site that offers a service, like web hosting. Or you could offer something like sales letter critiques or college essay critiques.

A site that offers lessons on a topic. For example, you could have a six-month or twelve-month course on how to get an online business up and running. Or you could offer a course on something like how to do home repairs and maintenance.

A site that offers a new product each month. Think of Time Life books here or the "Wine of the Month" club. Every month the customer receives a new product, and it doesn't have to be a physical product. It could be a series of related ebooks - perhaps "how to" nonfiction books, or a "romance ebook of the month" club!

Those are just a few ideas. You've no doubt been a part of some of these sites, such as sites that deliver new software to its members every month, sites that offer large discounts on niche products, sites that offer private label rights (PLR) products to resell, and so on.

All you have to do to get started is:

1) Choose a hungry niche.

2)  Find out what they're already buying and what they want.

3) Set up a membership script and payment processor.

4) Set up a squeeze page and a sales page.

5) And then marketing OK

TAG and Ping your way to riches

Hi,

Can you turn mere words into $10,000 per month - without actually selling those words as an ebook or other information product? You bet you can!

Namely, by blogging your way to wealth!

Here's the idea:

You set up a niche blog that's of interest to a very specific audience. Then you monetize your blog in one or more of the following ways:

By promoting your own products to the people who visit your blog weekly or even daily.

By promoting affiliate products (i.e., other people's products).

By promoting CPA (cost per action) offers, where you get a commission every time your visitors perform a specific action such as filling out a form

By using Google Adsense , where you make money every time someone merely clicks on an ad on your site.

By asking for and accepting donations on your blog. (Don't discount this tactic - there are several well-known bloggers who make over $100,000 per year almost entirely through donations.)

So, how do you go about starting a blog that can bring you $10,000 per month? Here's an overview of the simple yet lucrative process:

1) First, choose a hungry niche. They should not only be hungry for information (so that they'll read your blog), but they should also be willing and eager to put money down to solve their problems or otherwise improve their lives. Figure out what they're already buying (which will help you decide how to monetize your blog).

2) Second, research the competition. Visit the busy, popular and profitable blogs in your niche to find out what makes them so popular and busy. Then figure out how to set your blog apart and make it better.

3) Next, buy a domain at NameCheap, GoDaddy or elsewhere that reflects the topic of your blog.

4) Fourth, go to WordPress.org and download the latest version of the blogging software. Install and customize it.

5) Next, start blogging! Populate your blog initially with about ten posts, just so your early visitors get the impression that you have a popular blog with good content. Then commit to updating your blog at least two or three times per week. If suitable, you may even want to update it daily.

Quick Tip: You don't have to sit by your blog every day and manually update it. You can pre-load content and "drip" it to your readers on a pre-set schedule. You can do this by either loading up the content and setting it for a future posting date, or by purchasing autoblogging software that does all the work for you.

Here's what else you need to know to start driving traffic and making money:

Optimize your posts for the search engines by creating articles around specific keywords. You may use WordTracker or any keyword tool to find out what niche keywords your market is already searching for.

"Tag" each of your posts using relevant keywords. WordPress allows you to add tags (keywords) automatically when you're posting your articles. You can also use your keywords as your category titles.

Ping the blog directories as necessary so that they crawl your site whenever you make a new post. If you're using WordPress, it pings the directories automatically. Otherwise, you can use a service like pingoat.com.

You need to create content that gets people coming back to your site again and again. You may create posts such as:

"Top ten" lists. Create several useful top ten lists, and your blog will become the "go to" place for niche-specific information. For example, a weight loss site might list the top ten diets, the top ten weight loss supplements, the top ten exercises, the top ten fat-burning foods and so on.

Product reviews in your niche. Be sure to list the product flaws as well as the good points, as absolute honesty fosters trust... and sales! Be sure to use your affiliate link.

Controversial articles that go viral. Don't be afraid to polarize your audience. You may repel some people, but you'll draw your target market closer to you.

Highly useful content (the type of content that others are selling).

Strong opinion articles (which can often create a buzz). Go ahead and get passionate while taking a strong stand.

Articles that join conversations already going on in your niche. If you take a different viewpoint or form a strong opinion, people will migrate to your blog just because you're offering something different.

Answers to frequently asked questions. (Just visit blogs in your niche to see what sorts of questions people are regularly asking.)

And anything that sets your blog posts apart and gets people talking and linking to your blog.

TWEAK and Flip information products

Hi,

Here's another way to profit from information products without having to deal with the product creation yourself.

Namely, by buying, tweaking and then reselling products that come with product label rights (PLR).

PLR products are those products where you purchase the right to modify the product and, generally, do with it as you please (as long as you follow the terms of your PLR license). That means you usually can modify the product, break it up, add it to another PLR product, change the format (e.g., create an audio product or a physical product), sell it, give it away, etc.

Now here's why this can be so extraordinarily profitable...

Even though 20, 200 or even 500 people might have the rights to this same product, very few of them will actually take any action. Of those that take action, most will simply use the PLR product as-is, without any modifications whatsoever.

However, all you have to do is invest an hour or so of your time to modify the product, thereby creating a new, unique product. Then you can change the title, create new ecover graphics and tweak the sales letter.

The best part? That one hour you invested eliminated all your direct competition, because you're selling a unique product!

Quick Tip: You don't even have to rework the product yourself. Visit elance.com or similar to find a competent freelancer willing to rewrite and tweak PLR content. Some will do it for just a few pennies per word.

Here's how to make this profit plan work for you:

1) Start by finding a hungry niche market. Once you do that, then find out what they're already buying. As usual, there's no reason to innovate when you can latch onto a profit from a "sure thing."

2) Find PLR content similar to what your niche is already buying. Search Google for your keywords alongside the word "PLR" or similar. So, for example, "weight loss PLR."

3) Tweak the content. Minimally, that means rewrite the introduction, rewrite the conclusion, rename the chapters and create a new title. Ideally, you should also add to or otherwise modify the content to make it your own.

Quick Tip: You may also "nichefy" the content, which means you tweak it to speak directly to a niche market. So a general weight loss book could become "safe weight loss for teenagers."

To get the most benefit from your PLR investment, you can keep modifying the product to spawn dozens of new products aimed at different niches. So your weight loss book might also be tweaked to target new moms, senior citizens, sedentary office workers, people in wheelchairs and so on!

4) Set up a lead capture system and sales funnel. You may pull in a tidy up front profit from your PLR content, but the real money lays hidden in the backend. That means you should always be selling more products to your existing customers. You can keep selling PLR content, of course. You can even set up a membership site to tap into the backend income effortlessly!

5) Create a sales letter - or tweak the sales letter includes in the package. And then...

6) Drive traffic to your site and start counting your money!

As you can see, this is an extremely fast and easy way to start making money.

Whereas it might take you weeks or even months to create your own product and start selling it, you can buy a PLR package in the morning and be making a profit in the afternoon.

Simple 5 steps to online success...

Hi,

Today we are going to discuss the 5 fundamental steps to online business success. If you can follow these steps and take action upon them, I have no doubt you will become a successful internet marketer.

I personally use this strategy in my online business and it is also used by many other successful marketers to literally make fortunes online.

Step 1. Set Your Initial Goal

The first step in making money online is setting goals. Whether you want to make $50/day or $500/day or more, the first step is to set an initial goal. Having a clear "Goal" lets you know exactly what you are shooting for. More importantly, your goals should be SMART goals:

Specific - Your goals should be clearly defined and very specific. Broad goals aren't allowed.

Measureable - Your goals should involve numbers or some kind of metric.

Attainable - Your goals need to be humanly reachable.

Realistic - Don't set your goal to make $5k per day by next week. This is not realistic.

Timely - Your goals should involve a time measure.

You should also set short term and long term goals. Why? Well, this will allow you to achieve small successes while still seeing the big picture as to where you want to go.

All those who become successful within the Internet Marketing field, or any other business, have set clear goals and never give up until they achieve their goals.

Step 2. Research and Select a Niche Product to Promote

That's why you need to a comprehensive research before you selecting a niche to promote to make sure that the niche you will choose will make you money and it will be worth focusing your internet marketing efforts on..

A niche is basically the segment of populations where you will concentrate your internet marketing efforts to make money and selecting the right one is critical to your success..Because of this, i recommend you pick a niche you have a lot of interest in. The more passionate you are about a niche, the easier it will be to write about, talk about, and make educated and REAL product recommendations.

Step 3. Find Profitable Keywords

You will need to research keywords and the average CPC over an industry before you begin promoting it.

Some industries have hundreds of thousands of keywords, while some are so specific they have a smaller number of search terms. A smaller industry can convert just as well as a large one, so don't be fooled by industries with keywords and low traffic AND definitely do not try to choose a niche simply because someone said it is popular or profitable.

Step 4. Find The Right Affiliate Programs
CJ.com (Commission Junction)
ClickBank.com
JVZoo.com
WarriorPlus.com
If you are using paid traffic techniques like Pay Per Click, you will need to make sure that the affiliate program will pay high enough to make it profitable. You typically want to stick to programs that pay over $10 commission.

If you are using traffic techniques like article marketing, on-site search engine optimization, you do not need to worry as much about the commission as these are free marketing techniques.

Step 5. Start an Advertising Campaign And Make Money

To do so, I recommend that you use only free traffic techniques at first, such as Article Marketing. The reason is this way you can literally get started with ZERO budget. You should also start building a list as this is the most valuable asset you can have in your business.

For more information on this, I recommend you check out the training area on our site.

Take the Leap

Once you have accomplishing the previous 5 steps, it is up to you to take the leap.

To Your Success,
Allen Payne
