Five Reasons to Use Pay-Per-Click to Drive Traffic to Your ClickBank Affiliate Promotions
Pay-Per-Click, sometimes called PPC, is a system whereby affiliates and product owners, such as at ClickBank, only pay for advertising when someone actually displays an interest in buying their product. The best known Pay-Per-Click provider is Google, via their AdWords program, and the process works where marketers place an advertisement in Google’s system and only pay Google when someone clicks on that advertisement. And that means you could, realistically, have hundreds or even thousands of people see your advertisement and only ever spend money when someone decides to join your mailing list or learn more about your product and possibly buy! Here are five more reasons why Pay-Per-click is the PERFECT way, also the cheapest, for promoting products at ClickBank:
* It’s possible to make money or grow a mailing list much faster using Pay-Per-Click than from virtually any other advertising medium. That’s because your promotions can go live immediately they’re created and drive sales just minutes later. Compare that to placing an advertisement in a monthly print publication or quarterly ezine where it can take months for your advertisements to appear.
* Pay-Per-Click ads can be tested and tracked and changed in seconds, compared to offline publications that can take weeks or months to appear and much longer for testing, tracking and editing. That’s because, using most PPC programs you are in charge of creating, editing and publishing your ads and you can change them from inside your own account any time of day or night. Advertising in print publications and ezines means you have to trust others to publish your ad correctly, and edit it where necessary, and they don’t always do it correctly, if they do it at all.
* Using Pay-Per-Click you decide exactly who to target with your ads, usually by choosing keywords and phrases used in search engines by people most likely to buy what you offer. With the possible exception of niche publications, on and off the Internet, most mass market publications target people of very different interests, only a few likely to be interested in your promotion.
* Using Pay-Per-Click you can test various advertisements concurrently and determine which makes more money for you or entices more people to join your mailing list. That means within days you’ll know exactly which ads to continue and which to remove, compared to waiting weeks or months and test marketing several expensive ads in offline newspapers and ezines.
* When you remove an unsuccessful Pay-Per-Click promotion that’s usually the last you’ll hear about it, compared to ads that don’t work in newspapers and ezines which can still be generating time-wasting telephone calls and emails many months after appearing.

Internet Marketing Tips – Discover 4 Reasons Why Self-Branding is Crucial to Online Success
One of the biggest mistakes people make when using the Internet to grow their business or earn an income is their failure to brand themselves first. Internet marketing is much more challenging when you are competing with many others to sell the same product or service as affiliates or similar ones with your own. In today’s social networking environment self-branding is critical to your long-term success. Are you branding yourself first before promoting a product or service?
Here are 4 reasons branding “YOU” online is so important:
1. Individuality – it’s getting tougher to make sales hiding behind your computer screens so using the many available platforms to show people who you are is very important. People want to know who they are spending their money with and the competition is doing just that. Setting yourself apart from the pack is a powerful way to do business.
2. Familiarity – getting people to remember you is key because if they know who you are by face, name and what you provide in terms of great customer service it can catapult your income. Customers will return when they are familiar with the person they bought from especially if they received quality products and service.
3. Loyalty – there is no long-term income producing business without loyal customers. When people return to buy from you over and over again it will ensure you stay in business for a long time. Word of mouth also becomes important because loyal customers will have no problem telling their family and friends about you which will give you another stream of income.
4. Relationships – building relationships with customers and prospects strengthens your business because they are the most important part of your success. Having an awesome product or service, fancy blogs and websites can only get you so far if no one is buying from you. Get to know the needs and wants of the people who join your lists and those who spend their hard earned dollars with “YOU”.

Email Marketing – 3 Reasons to Use Email Marketing to Make Money Online
After spending a few years fumbling around making money here and there online, I have learned the most solid, consistent way of doing it is to make email marketing central to your sales marketing strategy.
Back in 2004, I naively drove traffic straight to merchant sites using affiliate links. A while later, I created landing pages so visitors would see something different, although I neglected to include any opt in form. Crazy, yes… what can I say I was a newbie. I quickly learned concentrating all efforts into driving traffic for one-time sales was only benefiting the merchant, not me.
That’s when I realized the importance of follow-up. Although previous landing pages were filled with targeted content and some personalized information, sales didn’t double or become more consistent until I added an autoresponder opt in form which gave me the lucrative opportunity to follow-up with visitors.
Which leads to the number one reason to use email marketing to make money online…
Reason No. 1 – Follow-Up
Follow-up allows you the opportunity to expose your product or offer to visitors beyond their initial visit. It gives you the chance to present your offer in more detail and answer common questions (FAQs) before they’re even asked in your follow-up emails. Providing answers before they are asked (reading a subscriber’s mind) will slide sales right into your account.
What’s great is when visitors opt into your form to receive additional information, they are expressing interest to learn more & granting permission for further contact from you. This places you in an excellent selling position. You are now graced with another opportunity to “CAPTURE THE SALE”. How cool is that? Right! Just remember…
Email Marketing = More Exposure = More Opportunities To Follow-Up With Quality Content = More Money
This flows nicely into the second reason…
Reason No. 2 – A Single Email Can Equal Mass Sales
Once you have established a trustworthy relationship with subscribers by sharing quality free content and making recommendations that actively helps them in some way, you will have cultivated a list where a single email promotion can equal massive sales. Such a privilege is akin to having an ATM in your desktop.
There is nothing more exhilarating in internet marketing than making a great product recommendation to your email list and having them respond with enthusiastic profits that start rolling in almost instantly. Just be careful to never take your list for granted; they are after all real-live people. Treat them with respect, not money machines.
Reason No. 3 – Automation
The beauty of having an automated marketing system that consistently brings in sales is it’s the closest thing to being able to “set & forget it”. Email marketing automation beats offline methods of follow-up any day.
Would you rather spend hours pitching prospects, answering questions, arming yourself with rebuttals, dealing with rejection… all aimed to capture one sale -OR- load up an autoresponder with meaty content equally aligned with money-making offers set to act as your automated sales force? I’d go with the latter. I’m sure you agree, that is if you understand the value of time/freedom & are serious about having a successful online business that will continually make you money.
Automation is key to success and profitability, both in the short and long-term. Having an automated email system for interested prospects to opt into, immediately positions you to receive automated sales. Automation allows you to leverage sales in countless, creative ways. I’ll leave you with this “food for thought”…
~ Millionaires Understand The Power of Automation & Leverage ~
So if you ever question whether email marketing is worth taking the time to establish as a central part of your marketing strategy, remind yourself of the “3 Reasons”… 1) Multiple Follow-Up Opportunities To Capture Sales, 2) One Email Can = Mass Sales, 3) Leveraged Automation.
The world is yours.

5 Reasons to Reconsider Getting Into Affiliate Marketing
This is probably one of the worst articles for someone like me to write, but I think it will probably save a lot of you some money and frustration. So in the interest of others, here goes.
The first reason has got to be that this is not an easy job. It takes hours of dedication, research and some skill too. All internet marketers will tell you it is super easy, blah, blah, and blah. IT IS NOT. It only becomes easy after months of learning and trial and error, and then it will still take a lot of your time. These people forget how lost they felt when they first started out in this business.
The second reason is that when you start out, you will probably buy a few products, that promises to do all the work for you. The only thing these products do for you is make you poorer, and the guy selling it richer. I come back to this point so many times. If you are going to buy products online, then only buy products that sell information. I equate this to going to school. If you pay money for education, then at least you got something for your buck.
The third reason is that you will probably buy an info product now, and you got there by searching for “make money online”, or some “how to work from home”, or such keyword. I can guarantee you that the first thing they will tell you is to re- advertise the product you just bought. THIS IS HARD. The “make money online” niche is probably the most competitive niche out there. Getting in there when you start from scratch is near impossible, as you are competing with seasoned marketers.
The fourth reason is that if you are middle aged and not used to school, and don’t have the drive to study anymore, DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. This takes more studying than I have done in my final year at school.
The last, and maybe the most important, is that if you don’t understand that it takes money to make money, then you can just give up now. Sure, the potential gains are pretty attractive, but you only see how much the guy got in. You don’t see how much he spent promoting these products in the first place.
In conclusion, all I can ad is that I hope you take all these things into consideration before you jump in on the deep end. If you can see yourself avoiding these pitfalls, then maybe you have a shot
