I’ve been busy lately going to a few hospitals with my wife two days overdue since our baby still hasn’t come out. Thankfully, everything is ok and as planned we’re still hoping for a natural delivery. I’ll post my interview podcast with Yaro Starak in a few days since I’m having problems with editing the audio and time constraints with our baby.

Are you ready for my tips to profit with a blog???

Blogs are one form that can do many different things and that includes making yourself some money with Internet marketing. Their are various ways to do this and were going to look at three of the most popular ways to make a profit with your blog. Affiliate programs are probably the most popular way to make profit on the Internet. An affiliate program is where you sell someone else’s product and in return you can get anywhere from 50-70 percent of the selling price in return. Most of these affiliate programs pay once a month or twice monthly. Some of these products will consist of e-books, software and membership sites. Their are many different ways to promote them with a blog. One of the most popular ways is through a review of the product. As people become familiar with your Internet marketing blog they value your opinion and will be more likely to buy from you than anyone else.

Pay per click advertising is another way to drive traffic to your blog and make sales from it. Pay per click is where you put so much money in an account and bid on keywords associated with your ads. When people click on these keywords of your ads then money is taken from your account. Each click gives you a visitor who is interested in what you have to sell. These are targeted visitors which means they are more likely to buy from you. Another part of pay per click advertising is Adsense. Adsense is where you are paid for visitors who come to your blog and click on ads that our on your blog. Using either option can drive a lot of traffic to your site and make you a good chuck of money.

Sponsored and Banner advertising to your blog is probably the most stable and profitable blog that can be passive recurring income. There are authority bloggers like John Chow who has made over $27,000US in November. You can see John Chow’s November Income here. John actually breaks down dissects and categorically shows you where he earned his money. Once you get the traffic and readership in your blog, I’m sure you can comfortably live off your blog.

Now if you want to create long term profit with your blog than search engine optimization is the best way to go about it. This means you will be using search engines and placement of your blogs to get them the best possible position on them. Traffic is the lifeblood of your blog so spending time on search engine optimization will probably be the best investment you will ever make. The more work you put into it the more you will get out of it. Their are many ways to make money with a blog, but if your in for the long run than search engine optimization is something you should study and learn as much as you can. Believe me in the long run it will be worth all the time and money you spend on it.

As you can see blogs can make you money if you go about it properly. The key is to take your time and learn as much as possible. Many blogs make their owners thousands of dollars a month. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it can happen. Follow a proven plan and your Blog could be the next big thing that people are talking about. Blogs are the future so embrace it and make some good money at it.

To your Success,

To start off this week, I would like to thank Janet for really opening my eyes and really helping me understand how easy it is to make money online. Here’s the Seven Steps in putting together your Viral Marketing Campaign:

1. Set Up Three Pages to Run Your Viral Marketing Campaign - You need the following pages to set up your campaigns to full throttle.

Confirmation Page - This page thanks all your visitors for giving your their contact details, then gives instructions for downloading the free report. This page also click on the following link once they have downloaded the report. That link should take you to your salespage of the product you are selling. Salesletter Page - This is where you offer your products with a salesletter - written in direct response style, check out Michel Fortin or Ray Edwards if you

1. Subscribe to a Shopping Cart Service - Shoppingcarts are the easiest way to manage all your transactions online. Their are some great shopping carts that are plug and play. eg. 1shoppingcart and JVManager. This is allows you to collect your payments, track your commisions, manage your affiliates and organise your autoresponders in 1shoppingcart’s case.

2. Write a Special PDF Report that’s Buzz Worthy - You need to have a Unique and informative report that enables and compels your readers to want more of your content. A great example of this is the Authority Blackbook PDF that has gone viral, literally drive traffic and sales to Authority Site Center. Check it here for more details.

4. Make Your Report Fully “Brandable”. - Their are great softwares out their that helps you rebrand the PDF so that your affiliates and can get credit for sales and refferals. This will help you get your report out a lot quicker if you implement this properly.

1. Create an Autoresponder Series - Once your visitors has signed up, you can set up an autoresponder relating the product that you are promoting to continue marketing your product and brand. An autoresponder can be programmed so that you are automatically sending out a series of emails at pre-determined time and frequency. You can create a tutorial about your report, checklist and reminders to pursuing the goal talked about in the special report. The main purpose is to follow up with prospects and encouraging them to buy your products, This can be profitable in the backend if you do this right.

2. Make it Easy To Give Your Report Away - Develop promotional materials that will help your affiliates and guide them in promoting your report with ease. What I learnt from Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing is if you provide all this you can drive more traffic and more sales to your report and website. Provide, Press Releases, Blog Content, Banners, pre-written emails other tools that can simplify the process of making your report viral.

3. Start Conecting with Your Friends and Super Affiliates - This is probably the most important traffic that you will receive in your report. If you get authority figures to promote your report, you automatically have instant profits that will last a lifetime. If you ended up tapping into guys like Ewen Chia, Mike Filsaime, Andrew Fox if your in the internet marketing industry, you will gain authority status in no time. As long as you give great content and great returns for their effort. How do you find the superaffiliates in your niche? Look in forums, google the topics and find who’s hot in your niche.

I hope I’ve painted a good picture to help you on your viral marketing campaigns in the near future.

Have a great Week!
