Away to make money from home with affiliate programs.

One of the best ways to make money online is by having your own niche affiliate store. And selling unique products that you have nothing to do with its creation, packaging and delivery, you don’t even process any order. You have only to bring these products in front of people interested in them, and then they will purchase from your own domain name and make the whole process of buying the product from your store. But you are not the one who accept the orders but the company whom you are affiliated with.

Affiliate store is exactly like having your own store, and selling products online without the expenses required to handle orders, and effort required to handle customer support. Taking advantages of both words customers who will give you their money and suppliers who will give you their products and arrange the entire business requirement for you and for free.

BUT

Nothing is that good; no one will give you his money if he is not at least 90% sure you are recommending the some of the best products on the market, and he need to know that you or the company behind are trust worthy. In the other hand no company will pay you a commission that could reach up to 50% of the product value if there is no work required from you side.

That mean you need to affiliate with good companies if not the best within your niche market; and by good I mean they must have a great product that solves your customers problem, with competitive prices and good management and customer support.

From your side, you need to reach customers interested in such products, that what we call marketing (affiliate marketing in this case), in most cases your company will give you the affiliate store completely designed and ready to work and process orders. But you need to do all the marketing.

So to make money with your affiliate store you need to learn and practice affiliate and internet marketing the best way possible.

As a beginner you can use paid advertising like Pay Per Click, but you need to work as hard as you can to make your business suck customers for free in the future, so after a few months your affiliate store will reach a point of making money with very few effort from you. And for that you need Search engine Optimization, (do it your self will be the best choice, so learn SEO and practice it) and you need to have a links to your store from every possible website related to your niche.

Here are some examples of affiliate stores you can have.

A health related affiliate store, health is by far the best number one in demand subject, with millions of products online. Health related products are the best sellers online today so it’s highly recommended. But you need to know that health cannot be considered as a niche, because it’s very wide area. To have a health niche affiliate store you need to concentrate on a sub-category of the health like women’s health, sexual health.

The best ready to work health affiliate store are:

Herbal biz from market health.

Market health is a health related affiliate network; you can join and promote their products for free. But it also have a unique option which provide its affiliate with their own customized affiliate store, they host that store for you for free with your own domain name. They have some of the best health products on the net today and they are the number one health affiliate program.

You need to chose a good (keyword optimized) domain name, and sign up with them here for your own health affiliate store.

Here is an example Sexual and women’s health

It’s our best favorite choice.

Other health related affiliate store that had been created by a professional doctor, health biz in a box, the store itself has a very professional look and design. The only disadvantage of this affiliate store is that it is very popular and wanted and you can find some affiliate stores that look exactly the same. But in the other hand this same reason can indicate that this affiliate store is very successful, I can recommend it but in the end it’s your choice.

And here two recommended ways to build niche affiliate store

The first is BeBiz which was created by one of the most successful affiliates on the business, this guy know internet marketing, know how to conquer a niche in the online business world. Not only he know how to do it he also know how to teach it, that what pushed him to make a program to duplicate his success and build a program that can help make your own success in the online business niche market.

The last option is to get an online store with Yahoo online store; I have no idea about this one but also recommended it because I know some internet marketers who made huge success with it.

If you have any experience with affiliate store, or niche business you are invited to share it with us.

In the late nineties more and more moms joined the work from home online business ideas, and most of them found a great success; especially women who were unable to work before. They became the most creative professionals in their niche business.

The concept that women (married with children, single moms), if they must work they need to do a simple silly 6 hours a day job, no one care about their expertise and knowledge, and they had no idea how to offer it. Maybe they also did not discovered then the treasure hidden inside.

If you ask yourself a question: what do I know?

You can surprise yourself, it’s a known fact that we could use more of our brain capacity if we ask ourselves questions all the time, these questions will stimulate our brains to dig deeper and search harder for answers; no matter how ridicules those question may seems to you.

And if you think that your knowledge is not important, and no one can benefit from your experience, you are very mistaken. Without knowing you or what you have inside you I can tell you this for sure, there are thousands of women will pay for learning about one experience you have gone through.

One great program called (Site Build It) came up with a great solution to those women, in the way SiteBuildIt had made millions of dollars, but to be honest it deserves more, because she offers a great value to those women.

With Site Build It women started to build their own sites with a great, automated and very updates program, and they started to publish their knowledge and experience on line to millions of people who seeks that kind of knowledge and experience.

Moms for instance started to share their experience with rising kids; handling home tasks and helping their families reach better life.

They loved the idea of sharing and helping for itself what made them very creative and popular in their subjects, you may have seen a several sites for women with great knowledge, you may also have seen forums and blogs run by women, and you have loved the information they offer and the help they provide without even considering their background.

And with the power of Site Build It they started to make money doing what they love to do, and talking about what really interest them (other than men).

By the way, I know that when you hear the phrase “make money”, the first thing will come to your mind is “they make money from people like me, and that’s the whole idea”; and you are so wrong. The money comes from powerful companies and advertisers related to the subject they are talking about, not from visitors.

The women provide information for free, and when they start to be popular (this is very easy with the help of Site Build It) advertisers will pay them money to put ads on their sites, or they can put affiliate ads and pay per click ads.

You are familiar with the term Page Rank; it’s a Google parameter that measures your link popularity.

Some webmasters think mistakenly that this PR is affected only by the number and quality of back links to your pages, but the truth is you can get a sup page of your site to rank as PR1 or higher without any back links to that page. However you need to have higher PR to your home page and link from it to that sup page.

And here are some ways to do so:

If you give your page a unique title, a unique in demand keyword phrase will index your page high in the search engine results pages (SERPs) and if that key phrase has a demand and people use it as a search term it will provide traffic to that page and as a result of that traffic Google will give that page a higher PR.

Which mean that real traffic can cause higher PR.

Another way is plog posts with high commenting rate. If you have a high traffic blog with high number of readers, and they post comment on your posts, each post can get high PR in it’s permanent link page, without any back links to that page.

That fact made some famous Bloggers such as Jiff Jonson talk about paying for people to comment on your blog posts.

So in fact there are more parameters that make Google rank your pages and the most important are:

Back links, it keeps the number one element of PR.

Traffic the more traffic the higher the PR and vice versa.

Time spent on page, the more time people spend on the page the higher the rank of that page, (videos can do it perfectly).

Updated content and the increase of the website, the more content you add the more important your site will be in the eye of the search engine.

The more bloggers talk about your site the better.

How to measure PR.

No one other than Google team knows exactly how to do it, but there is a fact that says:

Each rank worth 8 times the rank came behind. That mean a PR5 is worth 8 times PR4 when measuring the quality of back links to your site; in other words 1 back link from PR5 page is worth 8 back links from PR4 pages.

And with the same page the first link is higher in value than the one came after (SE crawlers read the page from left to right from the top downward)

Those two facts need to change the way you are building back links to your site, how you ask!

When you are exchanging links the old fashion way in 99% of the cases your link is added to a PR0 page (directory or sup directory page), even if the home page of that site is PR9. So if you want to use your time effectively, it’s better to search for 10 link exchange partners who will submit your link in a high PR page (or home page) in exchange of you adding their link in your home page. (you have probably came across some free services that will give you the free service only if you linked to them from your home page), such 10 partners are better than 1000 regular exchange partners.

Forums back links, instead of only replying to other posts and have your links on the signature, you better think of starting a new very important thread, a thread that you can make the forum members reply, the more replies the higher the thread page rank will be and the higher your back link value will be, and you can reply to each reply giving your thread importance.

Blog commenting, the higher the blog PR with more readers the better to comment on (consider only dofollow blogs). Check for past posts, if the blog posts are getting high comment it means it has more readers, and each post will reach high PR fast. But also remember you need to be one of the first to comment, if the post get more than 200 comment and your comment is the last one your back link has no value, but if it is the first your back link will get the value of the page PR. In some cases low PR blogs can give you more value in the comment than high PR blogs.

Try to exchange articles with bloggers than submitting your articles to article directories.

Submitting articles to small article directories with your own unique title is better than submitting to the big article directories that probably already have an article with your title.

Some of this information I learned from someone on the stompernet team and I tried it myself to find it valuable and effective.

But one can never stop learning and find out that he was wrong in a few cases; so please if you have any information that can help, correct or support please share it with us.

Super Affiliate Guru

Who are super affiliate gurus?

Let’s start by who were super affiliate gurus? Once upon a time there were people who did understand the internet and the power of affiliate marketing better than anyone else, in a time there were few who tried to work online and make money from the web.

We all know that starting up with a powerful concept like the “making money online” is for itself a huge potential. Those guys started seriously when there was little competition, and their knowledge was worthy, also the usage of the internet was primitive, you can imagine how Google worked back then, and how easy it was to manipulate the search engines, to use spam “bulk e-mails” and the annoying pop-ups.

They did make a lot of money on the internet, millions of dollars, some from affiliate marketing and others from some stooped ideas, helpful products, useless info-products and many other things.

You want an example?

I know a guy (let’s call him Jo) who started his online business back in 1998, he had no idea how to use the computer, but he was a successful business manager who saw the opportunity of the online marketing business. He started learning about the internet and within his search on the web for information he filled his bookmark directory with links.

After a month his boss noticed that he was spending too much time on his office and he was not doing his job, and with no hesitance he fired him. Jo did not mined leaving his job, but he had a problem that he did not know how to fix, he needed to copy his bookmarks from his office computer to the new computer that he will by to work from home. He had no idea how to do so, and he had to do it fast. Finally he solved the problem by registering a domain name with a hosting account, then he used MS front page to copy his entire links to one page then upload it to his account. Genius J

After few days he had a membership site that was only offering his own bookmarks (as very important links) to his members, and in tow years he earned more than $2 millions.

Some of you will say “what a stooped idea”! Tell that to the owners of Digg.

90% of the super affiliate gurus now are using the same concept, in deferent ways; they all sell information that you can find for free on the web. Don’t misunderstand me some of those info-products are worth every dollar you spend, and they can help you in your marketing business.

The basics of making money online especially from affiliate marketing is the same, and it’s all about information (how to); the deference will be in the implementation.

Products like Commission Blueprint is maybe the best Pay Per Click course online, I almost knew all the information presented by the course, but it was worth the money. From his information and seeing what he is doing, I developed a new strategy that was not mentioned on the course but it did make me a lot of money. When you see what your competitors are doing? And how they work? What tools they are using? You can easily do things better than them.

Maverick Money Maker is another Info-Product that I don’t need, I signed up for the first month reviewed their information and strategies but canceled in the next month. But honestly I loved the way they implement the strategies, and I know they can help any one new, or not satisfied with his earnings, to make more money from affiliate marketing.

On the other hand there are thousands of useless, worthless, Info-Products, from who we call super affiliate gurus. They are well known affiliates who had earned millions of dollars from the affiliate marketing, using strategies that you already know. But they earned their money from hard work (very hard), in a long time. From the process they now have a high ranked websites, blogs, forums and most important huge lists of customers and subscribers.

They also join together in a joint venture and they use each other’s lists to bring more and more money. They started each to develop useless products that based on:

They interview each other, recording those interview in videos, audios or simple e-books.

They share a piece of their information (they can write more than 50 pages e-book to deliver one page description of a simple strategy they found effective) and most of the time they depend on your lake of experience, this information is already free, but you need to gather it from blog posts, forums and free reports.

They develop software that combines 2 or more free tools that you can find online. Most of this software are not updated, and use unreliable database.

Because they are super affiliate gurus and had earned millions, they are famous and they talk about each other as a legend. And the worst thing is that they claim that with their product you will be able to make money fast, they even show you some picture “of earning” that they claim that people earned using these products.

Here are some facts.

The pictures are real, but it’s from selling the product not using it. If the product can make money and easy, if they have some secrets, tricks an unknown strategies why they would tell you about it, they will keep making money from it, more money than selling the product, and why they need to sell the product when they are already making a lot of money.

Some times when they promote each other’s products, they give their own products as a free bonus; why is that?

They promote their products using affiliate networks, but they also add a pop-up window to their sales page to capture the visitor information. They know that 99% of the visitors will not buy directly, but they know how to follow up and sell. In this way they don’t need to pay a commission to the affiliate who brought the visitor in the first place. You will notice (if you are an affiliate) that they offer up to 70% commission, and when the visitor try to leave their page a pop-up opt in form will show. If the visitor sign up they can offer the same product by e-mail with 50% discount, while earning 20% more for themselves, the affiliate was scr-d.

Today I have received an e-mail from very famous super affiliate guru, he is offering me his own software for free, 3 months ago he tried to sell me the same software for $85, but now it’s free, I only need to give him my e-mail. It’s true that after signing up a page with one time offer appears. When I downloaded the software and set it up, It was a jock, and I know he made at least a half million selling it.

I most explain: this software is designed to give you the most popular sites for any search term, it’s the same results you can get from Google without any deference, after that you can chose a website and it will give you the back links, you can also use Google for that, or any link popularity tool and for free!!!.

What you think?!

We really will love to know your opinion about supper affiliate gurus

Profitmatic scam.

I am a member in Profitmatic for few good months, in the early days of my registration I always looked for the money and I want to say it was hard to get any money from this program. With the time I learned how to use their tools, and I can honestly say that their tools saved me more than $200 a month.

For me Profitmatic now is about internet marketing tools that I need and I use and I don’t need to promote it as a money making opportunity or network marketing program. My subscribers are finding it hard to work with, so some of them will join for one month then cancel their registration. And I think the reason was they joined for the money (they want to make money with this program). And found it hard to make money with it.

I want to tell you one very important thing here: to make money with Profitmatic you need to enroll at least two new members on your downline.

To make money with any network marketing program you need to work it, to promote it and bring new members to it. Otherwise why they need to pay you for. I see the legitimate network marketing programs exactly as the affiliate program with one deference, they pays more commissions on deeper tiers, while affiliate programs can go as deep as two tiers only. So to make money with network marketing programs you need to sell it and make commission, and your commission will be monthly.

Profitmatic has a product, and you are selling this product, they will pay a commission for each sale plus after making two sales you can benefit from the spillover.

Many people have posted some forum posts and articles on blogs that ProfitMatic is a scam?

Maybe it is; for me I think it’s a great opportunity with a great product, I found that the tools are very useful and very cost effective, and they pay me on time so where is the scam?

When people fail it’s always not their fault, there are so many excuses and claiming that the program is a scam is one of them. To make money online you need to make some work, no one will pay you for nothing; that’s why we call it business, it is about your work and how much money you can get from it.

There are few of my friends who are making money from revenue sharing programs, they cannot say its scam because they like the money. but I believe it is a huge scam because it do not offer any product in return for the money, it’s only a money going from one to another, so the logic says one is winning and there is another who is losing.

But with legitimate network marketing programs you are offering a product for sale, and yes you are making a commission from it. So at least you are getting a product that is worth the money invested; and if you don’t know how to use the product it’s not the company’s fault, you just need to ask and get help.

Here is a brief description about Profitmatic tools.

1. With Profitmatic you will get a site builder online tool, with simple features you can point and in second you can have you website layout ready, then insert your content on the page and your website is up and running. I am a webmaster and I have 9 websites, and when I want to make a change sometimes a little change could take me more than a week to complete, now for example; as I am writing this review one of my website is down for changing. Even with CSS and Include feature it took too much time to change. But with profit matic you need to make a change to the basic layout only and it can take up to 5 minutes not more. And when you need to add new pages, you only click add new page, give the page a name, title and that’s it, it has the header the footer and the side bar you only insert the content of the new page.

For me it’s a great tool and I can publish a new site in 10 minutes without HTML, scripts, and even without ftp.

2. Forum builder, if you are working online you probably noticed that you need your own op-in pages or forms to capture you visitors information, you need also a service that can make you send follow up massages, it’s what we call auto-responders. This service alone could cost you up to $50 per month, however with profit matic you can build as many forms and op-in pages as you like, some of them can only capture your visitors information, others can make them interact with your website, posting comments, questions, you can build forms to exchange links, articles, blog posts. Other form you can build with follow up messages so you can follow up with your customers and prospects.

3. Banner builder. I am sure you are using banners with your marketing and you are using the programs banners or duplicating others, but here is a chance to design your own banners.

4. Button builders: design your own buttons and use them on your site, make everything unique and your design.

5. Link builder, an affiliate link clocking software can cost you up to $50 dollars, but here you can have a chance to build affiliate links with a redirect from 10s of domains.

And few other features like HTML builder, to insert HTML codes to your website, unique graphic and templates.

It is a standalone service so you can build and manage your website without the need of any other service or software.

Each element is saved as a separate file and you can have access to it separately, so if you have an HTML code posted to 100 pages and you want to change the code, you don’t need to go through all the pages, you can only go to the code and change it, all the pages will be updated with the new code, with the banners it’s the same.

For example I had Google Ad Sense on my website, after a while Google closed my account (because I used my ID in deferent sites of mine without notifying them), so I opened a new account with Google, now I need to change the publisher ID, so I went to HTML codes there I had three Google Ad Sense codes (main, sidebar, footer), I changed those codes and that’s it, all my pages were done. In my other website I needed to go through all the pages, make the changes and upload them again, it took me more than 2 days and still there are pages with the old code.

That’s the whole idea of profit matic, they know that you want to make money online, so you need to spend all your time on marketing and you don’t have time to waste on website design, building and managing.

One of the most powerful money making ideas is niche marketing, where you can find a new hot niche, build a website marketing an affiliate product related to that niche and make some fast money. Some marketers are making thousands of dollars from the trends. So if building a website will take you more than 10 days, you cannot get any benefits from trends and hot niches, you need to be fast, and deliver your products when people look for it. And by using a service like ProfitMatic I can do it in one hour, and most of this hour I spend on writing my content not building a website.

So Is Profitmatic a scam? No it’s not, even if they don’t pay you a commission I don’t see it as a scam. It deliver a useful product that has more value of the membership fee, and they pay me the direct commission. I don’t want the spillover and I don’t want anyone to make me money when I can do it myself. ProfitMatic gives me the tools to make money online beside the bonus of making money from it directly.

Profitmatic is a scam to those who want to make money without doing anything, losers and failures. For them everything even a day job could be a scam.

I am not the owner, I don’t know them, but I honestly love what they had given me.
