This report is
for complete
newbies and it explains the
various ways that you can make
money with
a blogger
blog.
A Blog is a short name for "Weblog" and it is basically a website that you can get for free and use for multiple different things.
In this case you
will be
using it
for Internet
marketing purposes – more specific
to sell products as an affiliate
marketer and/or to make money
from clicks,
via Google Adsense revenue.
A Blogger
blog is
a blog
that you
can get
for FREE
from Blogger.com.
They are
owned and operated by
Google, so if you have
a Gmail
account or a Google Account, you can use your
same login
name and
password as that to log
in and
you don't even have
to create
a new
account!
If you do not
have an
account with Google already, you
can create
one forfree,
at http://www.Blogger.com or Gmail.com.
Once you log in
to blogger.com,
you can
create a blog right away!
You get
your own domain name that will
look something
like this:
www.YourDomainName.Blogspot.com
Of course,
you would
replace "YourDomainName" with
whatever you want your URL to
be. Most
of the
time, people
choose keywords that are popular
search terms on, so that the
blog ranks
higher on the search engines.
If you are in
the weight
loss niche,
you might
want to
choose a name like "LoseWeightFast.Blogspot.com" for example,
because the term "Lose Weight
Fast" is a very
popular search term and brings
up over
a million
results.
The fastest
and easiest
way to
make money
with a
blog, is
with this
formula: RB + AL + AM + T = $$$.
You might be
saying, what the heck is that?
Don't panic, I
hate math too...just watch how easy this is:
RB = "Review Blog" - This is
a blog
that you
will create
with Blogger.com
and you will use it to
post product
reviews, about products that you
are promoting
as an affiliate.
AL = "Affiliate Links" -At the end
of each
product review, you would include
your affiliate link to the product
you reviewed.
Your "affiliate
link" is the URL that
you send people to, so that
you can
earn a
commission on the product if
they purchase
it.
AM = "Article Marketing" - By writing
articles (or outsourcing them) you
can drive quality, targeted traffic to
your blog.
T = "Traffic"
- This
is the
traffic you will receive from
both the
articles, as well as people who
are surfing
Blogger.com for blogs in your
category. The more popular of a niche market
you choose,
the more
traffic you will likely receive.
$$$ = MONEY! -
This of
course represents the money you
will earn
when you
make an affiliate sale! Think about
it...this WHOLE ENTIRE process won't
cost you a dime. The blog
is free,
with blogger.com.
Becoming an affiliate of Clickbank.com, Amazon.com, Ebay.com and CJ.com
are ALL
100% FREE.
Writing and submitting keyword
optimized articles toEzineArticles.com
or GoArticles.com is also
100% FREE
and that
is all
it takes
to make
money with
a blog. Many big name marketers
and Warriors
use this
method to make tons of
money...and the more articles
they have
out there,
the more
money they
make. If
you choose to outsource
articles, this would be an
expense and it could cost
you
anywhere from $2 - $12per article
for quality
articles from a freelance writer.
OK, that was just
the gist
of it.
Let me
give you
more elaborate
details and instructions so that you
can start
doing this
right away.
Step 1 would be to sign
up as
an affiliate
with Clickbank.com. <---At
this link,
you can sign up as an
affiliate for FREE, right away.
Then, you
can browse
the marketplace for niches and products
that you
want to
promote! All you have to
do is click
the small
link at
the top
of the
page that
says "Marketplace."
The products
over at
Clickbank.com are "digital" products.
A digital
product is either an eBook or
a software
application. The reason why they
are called
digital products is because
they can
be downloaded
immediately after purchase and there is
no need
for shipping
or sending
a physical
product. An 'eBook' as most
of you know (but remember this
report is for complete newbies),
is a
book that
can be
read right from your
computer screen and can be
downloaded immediately after purchase.
You can
also print
it out
to read
it if
you prefer,
or use
one of
those new
electronic eBook reading devices.
The great thing about
the products
on the
Clickbank.com marketplace, is that they
offer stunningly high commissions
to their
affiliates (you). Most of them
offer a
75% commission!
If you
were promoting
an eBook
that is
$47,in the Weight Loss niche or
the Make
Money Online
niche, you would earn $32.50
for every
copy you
sell. The best part
is, you
don't even
have to
sell them
the eBook...the
sales page
that the product creator made will
do that
for you.
All you
have to
do is
refer people
to your 'affiliate link.'
An 'affiliate link'
is the link that is
provided to you, so that
you can
promote a particular product (of your
choice). This link will take
the customer
to the
same EXACT page that the product
creator uses to sell the
product, but it will have
YOUR affiliate ID in
the URL.
Your affiliate
ID will
be the
username that you select for your
Clickbank account. Here is an
example of an affiliate link:
http://YourAffiliateID.ProductName.Hop.Clickbank.Net
Of course,
"YourAffiliateID" is replaced
with your
actual username and the "Product Name" is the code
name that
the product
owner made
for that
product. You won't need to be
guessing any codes though, all
you have
to do
is click
on the
link that says "Create
Hoplink" located underneath the listing
of the
product that you wish to promote
-- on
the Clickbank
Marketplace. After you select the
category
and subcategory
you will
be taken
to a
page full
of listings
of products
to promote.
You can view the product price,
the commission
percentage, and the gravity. The
gravity is how many
people (affiliates) earned a commission
on that
product in the past one or
two week
pay period.
You can
also view
the sales
page, which
is where your affiliate link will
send people.
The magic of your
affiliate link is that it
takes the
customer to the same destination they would go to
if they
hadn't been referred by you.
The only
difference is that since
your affiliate
code is
hidden within the link...you earn
the commission and the money shows
up right
in your
Clickbank That's where the review blog
comes in.
If you
write product
reviews of three Books on
Clickbank, post them on your blog
and then
include your affiliate link at
the bottom
of the
review. A certain percentage
of people
who visit
your blog
and read
the reviews
will click on your
affiliate link. Out of those
people, a certain percentage of
people will actually purchase the Book
once they
visit the
link. A
common conversion rate is 2%. So,
out of
every 50
visitors to your affiliate link,
you should
have 1
purchase. That would net
you $32.50.
It is
very easy
to get
50 visitors
to your
blog and even much more.
Step 2 would be to
sign up
with Blogger.com. <---At
this link,
you can
sign up
for Blogger.com for FREE --and start
creating as many blogs as
you want,
right away. You can be up
and running
in just
minutes. If you don't have
a Google
Mail account already (Gmail, Adwords, Adsense)
you will
have to
create one, but that is 100%
free. Then,
you will
proceed to the "Create a Blog" section, by
clicking on the "Create a Blog"
link.
Here you will create
a name
for your
blog as
well as
a domain
name. The
domain name will be the web
address that people type into
their browser
to get
to your
blog site. Depending on
the product(s)
that you
are promoting.
Step 3 would be to go
back to
the Clickbank.com Marketplace and choose a product or
products to
promote. Here you can pick
a category
and even
a
sub-category. For instance, a
popular niche is "Health and Fitness" and the most
popular sub-category of the Health
and Fitness
market is "Diet."
Step 4 would be to write
a product
review about the product you
choose to market. Remember, you are
marketing a product here...the product
is already
made.
It is your job
to find
the people
who want/need
the information
you are
offering
--and then give it
to them.
They will
buy it
if/when the sales pitch sells
itself.
But, you do NOT
have to
give or
write the
sales pitch...the
sales page
for the
product you're promoting will
have one
already -- Most likely written
by a
professional sales copywriter. All
you need
to do
is guide
people there, If you can not write a product
review to save your own
life, you
can easily
outsource it to someone on the
warrior forum. A freelance writer
would not
charge too much for a
product review for a
Clickbank product. You can expect
to pay
anywhere from $3 -
$20 for a custom
written product review, depending on
the writer
and the
word count of the review.
Step 5 would be to
add your
affiliate link to the bottom
of the
product review. It can be a
short review,
something like 250-500 words or
more if
you wish.
At the
end, you can give a strong
"Call to action" so that
the reader
will be
compelled to click on your affiliate
link. Something
like, "To
check out
(ProductNameHere), visit their
website at (Your Affiliate
Link) and
(Something positive that the product
will do
for them --such as lose 9pounds
in 11
days!)."
So, your call to action at the end of the
product review would look like this (if we were promoting a weight loss
product) example:
"To check out Fat
Loss 4
Idiots, visit their website at: http://YourAffiliateID.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net and learn
how you
can lose 9 lbs. in just
11 days!"
Step 6 would be to
drive traffic
to your
review blog. You don't just
want any
traffic going to your site, you
want 'targeted'
traffic. Targeted traffic is visitors
who are
actually interested in the
product that you are reviewing.
They are
in the
market for what you are offering
basically. That is the beauty
of niche
marketing...you find the people
who need
what you
are offering
and you
simply give it to them.
It's easy money, and you are
helping people at the same
time.
The way to drive
targeted traffic to your review
blog is
to write
articles for it and submit them
to Ezinearticles.com
and GoArticles.com.
These article
directories are the top, most popular
ones and
rank very
well on
the search
engines
--especially Ezinearticles.com. If you
write articles
in the
niches that you are
promoting, and you give
away some
good information
and of
course include a link to your
review blog in your resource
box at
the end
of each
article, you will have targeted traffic to your blog,
which will
convert into sales, which means
you will
earn affiliate commissions!
Step 7 includes additional
methods of driving quality, targeted
traffic to your blog. This includes
(but is
not limited
to) back
link building,
social networking, pinging your blog, paying
for traffic
via Pay-Per-Click
advertising, traffic exchanges (not so
great), offline
advertising such as business cards,
classified ads, yellow pages, etc. The
more targeted
leads you
drive to
your
website...the more sales
you will
make. It's simple, but
it does
take work.
There you have it.
This simple,
yet effective
method of creating a review
blog to
market affiliate products costs
nothing to do and can
earn an
potentially unlimited income. Depending
on how
much traffic
you drive
to your
blog and
the conversion
rates, you can build
a $20,000
per month
business or more using this
exact model.
Good luck and I
wish you
the best
of success
with your
blogging. Now go and make some
money!
