Affiliate Marketing, 6 tips for online marketing


receive working for an employer.







Keywords:



Affiliate Marketing,profitable,Affiliate programs,training ,online business,buying







Article Body:



So, you are thinking about marketing on line, good idea.



The easiest and most profitable way to start is Affiliate Programs.



If you are willing to put a good bit of easy work into affiliate



programs you can make a comfortable living. You will not need a



college degree or anything like that. All you need is a willing



mind. The main road to success are focused dedication and a lot of



enthusiasm.



.



1. Affiliate programs may be the easiest online business to start



running. although it doesn't’t hurt to do some study so that you can



learn from other people's mistakes rather than go through them



yourself. In addition, you are likely to pick up ideas that you



wouldn't have come up with yourself. There are numerous training



products with great strategies to adopt. One of the best ways to do



this is look at what people who have used the courses are saying in



some of the popular Internet marketing forums.





2. These programs are a great way to get started in an online



business. There are some 'Super Affiliates' who are making fabulous



incomes from these programs. Affiliate programs allow you to sell



another company's service or product and make a commission on every



sale or lead. You don't even need to build a web site or handle the



transaction. Your job is to drive traffic to your affiliate link.





3. An affiliate link is a special URL code that will identify



customers coming to the company's site from your advertising. It will



be the web site address with a code attached to the end. Some programs also have tiers. That means if someone who is interested in selling the product comes through your link and signs up you will also get a small percentage of their earnings.





4. To choose a program You should research the popularity of some of



your interests. Try to determine if people are buying that product or



service online. There are many sources for finding that information



including free ones, such as the Overture keyword tool.



When you have found an area that is popular then type the subject



along with 'affiliate program' into your search engine and see which



programs have services or products for that area. You can also use an



affiliate program directory.





5. After founding a program that looks good you should check the



terms of the program. Make sure that pay outs are not based on a high



commission earning or you may never see your money. Also try to



choose programs with high commission rates. Often you will find



ebooks and downloadable software has the highest rates as there is no



physical product to make or ship. If you are satisfied with the terms



then you need to sign up.





6. The reason affiliate programs are so great for beginners is that



you only need to focus on marketing. Many affiliate programs have



information on how to market and give you tools such as banners,



product feeds and more. You can also look for other information on



marketing including writing articles, creating pay-per-click



campaigns, commenting in online forums etc. As you gain experience



marketing you will make adjustments to your selling and start



creating a wonderful income!





Why a large number of would-be online marketers are either



unsuccessful or only partially successful is because they lack focus.



They jump from one strategy to the next without mastering any. In



affiliate marketing, the key to success is planning and focus. Take



one strategy and concentrate on it for a set period of time, maybe a



month. If it isn't’t returning enough then look for an alternative and spend time developing it. If it is working, then look at ways of



making it even better. Most people want to 'get rich quick' on the



Internet and fail. To make real riches you need to have a strategy,



look to the longer terms and stay focused.

What *Queer Eye* Can Teach You About The Media


1. Show your passion.

The Queer Eye Boys are into what they do. You can tell. Their show has such a different feeling than the spin-off *Queer Eye for the Straight Girl* which lacks chemistry and authenticity. The synergy between the hosts and guests comes through when you connect to the host and audience through your passion. Things come alive. I hate that saying, *If you can't be sincere, fake it until you can.* That's such a cop out.

It's like all this new veneered furniture with one thin layer of real wood masking pressboard or
plywood. Yuk. Are you telling me you can't tell the difference between what is solid and what is fake? In *The Practician's Manual of Legerdemain* Ottawa Keyes says, *When it comes to the requirements for pleasing an audience, all the knowledge and instruction and apparatus in the world is worth less than one ounce of soul.* Ain't it so?

2. Be cheeky.

When Carson, the head Queer Eye guy says, *Is it hot in here or is it just you?* and then almost licks some shirtless hottie blond boy we're right there with him. Yup, temperatures are rising. He makes us laugh and sweat at the same time. Loosen up a little and see what happens. Be playful. Say something a bit dangerous. Or better yet, DO something dangerous.

3. Give good tips.

After each segment the boys give their take-home tips. These are little gems that help you remember to properly tame your tangles, manage your manners, or bolt your belt at just the right angle. Provide your audience with saucy soundbites that linger so they can keep enjoying you. Give them solid ideas that they can implement asap. I've come to think that it's not the big idea but the minutiae that is most important. Take your ideas down to the smallest level of detail so they are easy for people to implement.

4. Show tangible visible results.

Visible transformations make audiences swoon. Can you do a before and after? In one show the *boys*
helped a balding man who was married to his toupee give it up. His wife and his kids hadn't seen his head without the fake hair for many years. His willingness to finally be *seen* was dramatic. His transformation was both inner and outer. These kinds of transformations keep audiences spellbound. Think about how you can devise one for a show you want to be on.

5. Have fun.

What makes Queer Eye so great is that everyone has such a grand time. What good is all the publicity in the world if you dread it? M. Scott Peck says *The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.* If you can let go of the outcome (no matter how important--because those are the hardest ones to let go of), you will free yourself to have a good time, anytime, anywhere, with anyone. What could be better?

What's Your Passion?


Okay, you've decided you want to make money with Affiliate Marketing. So, you join some affiliate programs and start submitting free ads to newsletters and free advertising classifieds sites. You're going to make BIG money now -- right?

Nope! Sorry! Just sending out a few ads is not going to do it. Not if you want to be a real success.

You must first determine your passion. I mean other than making the money! What is your hobby? What do you know how to do REALLY well? What is your job? Everyone has something that is their own special talent. Find yours.

You probably have more than one thing that you are very interested in and do well. See if you can find five (ten if you're really ambitious). Write them down in a list. Remember, you are going to be spending a lot of time working with this subject. Make sure you enjoy it!

Go down each item on your list. Start writing a rough outline of everything you know about the topic. It doesn't have to be elaborate. This is just to give you an idea of how much information is available for a given subject.

Try mind mapping. Write down the main subject of your idea. Draw a circle around it. Now, start thinking of sub-categories that are related to your main category. Draw a line from your main category and end it with a circle. Put the sub-category title inside this circle. Find as many sub-categories (and sub-sub-categories) as you can.

Go through each of your interests with this procedure. Choose the one that you know the most about and that you can write about comfortably.
What if you "think" you don't know enough about your topic? Then, do some research. Read books and magazines. Do some searches on the Internet. Who knows? You might find an area, a niche, that is just waiting for you to fill it with useful information.

There's a lot more to affiliate marketing, of course. But the first step is to find your passion. Your "passion" doesn't have to be making money on the Internet. It can be cooking, sewing, billiards, or whatever. In fact, it's better if you find a niche that isn't in the online marketing arena because that's what nearly everyone else is doing.

Make your topic unique. Make it yours. And make it your passion. It will pay you well.

Communication par Internet entre Franchiseurs et Franchises



Nombreux sont les franchisés qui utilisent aujourd'hui Internet pour communiquer avec leurs franchiseurs. Cette dernière s'effectue essentiellement via Intranet, ordinateur privé fonctionnant en réseau. Voici comment cela fonctionne.


Cette communication entre franchiseurs et franchisés peut donc se faire aujourd'hui via Internet ou câbles de d'interconnexion reliant les franchises via leur réseau et permet de rentabiliser le travail des franchisés par le gain de temps en recherche d'informations si ce dernier est correctement utilisé.

Les franchisés peuvent alors passer leurs commandes en ligne et contrôler les dates de livraisons. La plus part des grandes franchises utilisent le système "à la minute", qui permet de connaître au moment précis l'état des stocks ou encore les livraisons effectuées à leur franchisés. Cela a donc réellement permis d'activer le processus et signifie également que le franchisé peut mieux réorganiser ses stocks sans être à court au moment X. 

Les systèmes les plus pointus permettent également aux franchisés de s'approvisionner auprès d'un autre franchisé si le franchiseur est à cours de stock. 

Les demandes peuvent être connectées au réseau et toutes les ventes peuvent être relayées auprès des franchiseurs. Cela implique donc que la plus part des cas des demandes d'ordres peuvent être retirées directement par le franchisé.

Pour le franchiseur, cela est fantastique car il n'est alors plus nécessaire de perdre du temps à rechercher le franchisé disposant de la quantité adéquate désirée qui pourrait répondre urgemment à la demande. 

Les franchisés en tire un avantage certain car ils voient leur travail diminué et leur permet de passer plus de temps sur les problèmes marketings et la gestion de la relation clientèle.

Par ailleurs, les franchisés peuvent maintenant payer en même temps en ligne le franchiseur et les fournisseurs sans avoir recours aux carnets de chèques, enveloppes et postage. Une solution simple de payement en ligne donne de nombreux avantages que ne peuvent procurer les méthodes de payements classiques. En plus d'augmenter leur facilité de caisse, ce système leur permet également de réduire les risques de fraude.  

Par exemple, une grande société de <a href="http://www.gambling-portal.com/jeux-de-cartes-fr.html">jeux carte</a> possédant bon nombre de franchises. L'une d'entre elle se retrouve à cours de jeux que l'on vient de lui demander. Un simple passage sur Intranet et elle peut alors renseigner exactement son client quant aux délais de livraison du produit.

D'autres systèmes encore plus perfectionnés permettent de voir leurs comptes, rendant alors leur travail plus aisé grâce à une analyse plus objective. Le comptable est ainsi capable de voir en temps et en heure toute transaction effectuée et de récupérer les données des autres franchises.

Mais l'Intranet permet aussi à l'entreprise d'y déposer ses brochures, de visionner les dernières vidéos publicitaires de la société et éventuellement aider les franchiseurs en leur adressant un feedback sur la manière d'améliorer leur politique marketing pour le futur. Ils peuvent également tenir leurs opérateurs informés de façon régulière de manière manuelle.

Pour cela, un accès Internet haut débit est obligatoire, les franchisés développant habituellement leur business depuis leur ordinateur. Cela implique au franchiseur de devoir former son franchisé quant à l'utilisation et la maintenance de leur outil informatique.

es franchiseurs aiment adopter ce système afin de renforcer l'image de marque de la compagnie et faire participer activement leurs franchisés au cœur de cette dernière.

Toutefois, les dangers de l'utilisation d'Internet (ou intranet) sont nombreux. Si le serveur principal des franchiseurs tombe en panne et ne dispose pas de back up adéquate ou une facilité d'accès d'autres serveurs, tous les réseaux des franchisés peut être pénalisé.
