The Turtle and the Rabbit Do Affiliate Marketing by David McCammon



The Turtle and the Rabbit
Do Affiliate Marketing

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Island. The weather
was wonderful. It usually rained a little early in the
morning to freshen the air and bring out all the wonderful
smells.

Then again it rained a little at night to bring out the lush
and beautiful vegetation by morning. But the sun still
shown most of the day.

As luck would have it, two descendants of the famous
"Tortoise and Hare" lived together on this very same Island!


They were actually pretty good friends, using their laptops
to communicate, the rabbit never stayed in one place long
enough to hold a normal conversation.

Besides eating and sleeping all they ever did was play
against each other in Internet shooting competitions.
Surprisingly the speedy rabbit was not the winner as often
as you might think.

Tiring of shooting each other in cyberspace they decided to
play another game. The Affiliate Marketing Game!

The rules were very simple, join as many or few affiliate
programs as they wish and whoever accumulated the most
points(measured in money) in 12 months would be declared the
winner.

The first few weeks by each was spent learning, they
subscribed to ezines, bought books and courses, and
participated in forums.

Mr. Turtle started a newsletter based on the things that he
learned. He built a simple web page designed to collect
email addresses and send out his ezine. He learned and
practiced building trusting relationships with his
subscribers.

Mr. Rabbit used pay per click search engines like google
adwords and overture to send targeted visitors directly to
his affiliate pages. He learned about keywords, clickthru
and conversion rates. He started making money right away.


Though it took longer, Mr. Turtle soon started getting sales
from his ever growing list. The larger his list got and the
more his subscribers could trust him to have their best
interests at heart, the more money he made.

Mr. Rabbit found that once he had perfected the formula for
pay per click success he could duplicate it over a wide
range of products and services. His income seemed to be
limited only by the time that he had available.

After one year the results were in. Mr. Rabbit had won! Or
did he? You would never know it from the size of the grin
on Mr. Turtles' face.

As per their original agreement they went back to playing
the Internet games that they had played before. The rabbits
income quickly ground to a halt.

The turtle still sent an email every week or so to his huge
list and soon his actual income surpassed that of his quick
friend.

The moral of the story here my Internet marketing friends,
is that we should always optimize our marketing strategies
for the present and the future.

How the Rich Get Rich Online by Aaron Kater



How the Rich Get Rich Online

Do you have a website? Congratulations! You are well on your way to vast streams of income! Do you have a product youre marketing on your website, or do you have a product that you would like to market, but you dont know how? Youre about to start learning how you can market your idea or product and earn tidal waves of income!

If you have a website and a product, or if you have a website and you dont have a product, then this article is geared towards you. If you dont have a website or if you dont have a website or a product, then youll have to search around for my other article, entitled How the Rich Build Profitable Websites.

First Id like to concentrate this part of the article to the people with a website but no product.

If you already have a website but arent pulling in very many people to look at it and refer it to your friends, the first thing you need to do is to submit your website to as many search engines as possible. To do this, and for either free or extremely cheap, go to Google, or some other search engine of your choice, and type in the keyword free online advertising, or something like that. Once Google or your engine has pulled up its results, pick the first result and submit your website. Once youre done with this one, go back to the results page and pick the next one, and so on and so forth, until you have submitted your website to at least 100 search engines.

Once youre done doing that, take a break, maybe a day or so, and then go back to Google and type in the keyword free reciprocal link exchange. If you dont already know, a reciprocal link exchange is where you get in touch with the owner of the other website (that pertains to your website) and you get him to put a link to you on his site, and in return you put a link to him on your site. Reciprocal links are usually free, and they generate a lot of willing customers, and it establishes a relationship with another website owner that can give you increasing business.

Another great thing you can do, that will even bring in extra income, is to set yourself up with several Affiliate Links. If youre unfamiliar with affiliate links, they are sites with products to sell, but they dont always do all of the selling. If you sign up to be an affiliate, what you do is set up a link and endorse it as much as you can, because if you sell this product, you get a commission. Thats how they work. The more stuff you sell, the more money you make.

That should take care of your traffic needs for a few weeks or so, and then you can do the whole thing again. The most important thing is not to get discouraged or bored. Site submission is excruciatingly boring, but it is essential for traffic growth. If the three most important words in real estate are location, location, location, the three most important words in Internet business are traffic, traffic, traffic.

Now to the investors with both a website and a product they are marketing.

If you already have both a website and a product, then congratulations! All you need to do is get traffic! Do all the things I told you to in the above several paragraphs, market your website constantly, and youre set for life, depending on how good your product is and how hungry the market is for your product. Also, you might want to find other affiliates to increase your streams of income.

Important Announcement:

I also have a website that you can link to. All you have to do is contact me at aaron_kater@yahoo.com with ADVERTISE INFO in the subject line and Ill get back to you as quickly as possible. Also, for a small fee, I can endorse your website in one of my articles. Again, just email me at aaron_kater@yahoo.com with ADVERTISE INFO in the subject line and Ill get back to you ASAP.

Thanks for taking your valuable time to read this and increase your income!
