			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a few blogs that consistently attract thousands of visitors each day. Yes, most are celebrity blogs in which the writer really has no interest in gaining any monetary compensation. Most are just looking for more fans. But there are some, such as Grammar Girl, that manage to convey very relevant information and make money at the same time. Perhaps it is something that you should consider as well. Making money while blogging is possible, if you know how to set your blog up and what to do to start attracting revenue.</p>
<p>So how exactly does Grammar Girl make money on her blogs? Well first she advertises her books but it goes back even farther than that. She provides insightful blogs about grammar tips and rules that everyone should follow. Many of the topics she blogs about you already learned in school but there are many people who refer to her expertise in the matter to gain knowledge about the proper usages of their, they’re and there. It is actually quite surprising when you see how many fans she has on Facebook and how many followers read her blogs.</p>
<p>Besides selling her books, Grammar Girl also utilizes ads and back links. She posts other places, gains a high search engine rating and is able to turn up higher in search engine rankings. There is nothing to say that you cannot do the same. You just need to follow her model of business because what she is doing is the same thing that the most successful bloggers are doing. There really is no great secret to it. You write a terrific blog, get some fans and then sign up with a company that can get you placed higher on search engine pages and get your blog posted on the most frequently visited blogging sites. That is the real secret to becoming #1 and beginning to see a profit.</p>
<p>Just remember a tip or two if you do want to be #1. Keep your blogs on topic and keep them relevant to what you are portraying. If you want to sell vacuums then you need to be the best vacuum salesperson on the planet according to your blogs. You need to know your material inside and out. Researching different types of vacuums is a great way to do this. It actually does not matter where your specialty lies. It could be in anything as long as you know what you are writing about.</p>
<p>Grammar Girl is only one of hundreds of successful blogs that get read every day. There is nothing stopping your blog from becoming the #1 ranked blog on any search engine. It just takes a bit of time, patience and knowledge. Once you have those down pat then you are ready to move on and get that revenue moving in. As for finding the right company to get you the back links and ranking you need…why not try <a href="http://www.blogblueprintreviewer.com" target="_blank">Blog Blueprint</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bum Marketing is extremely popular with many affiliate marketers. It&#8217;s simply a twist on traditional article marketing and got its name from the fact that anyone &#8211; even a bum &#8211; could do it because there is no cost involved. If you are looking for free options for promoting your offers, it may be a good option for you.</p>
<p>The reason successful bum marketers are always updated of what works and what doesn&#8217;t is because they know the value of proper knowledge. Bum marketing is a proven way to gain targeted traffic and make great money. People who didn&#8217;t know anything about Internet marketing are now making a regular income with bum marketing. Given below are 3 effective bum marketing tips to help you out.</p>
<p>Opportunities present themselves to bum marketers on a regular basis but many don&#8217;t recognize them. Bum marketing can be taken to a higher level when you keep in mind that you should only write about topics that a niche audience would find interesting. People tend to take action on things that they can relate to; so your main focus is providing content that people can relate to in some way. Some people buy on impulse so you should take that into account. You can create your article to target impulse buyers, rational buyers, or both. To make the most sales you should look at what your niche wants and then create your content around those wants. This tip can easily double your bum marketing results if you learn to use it right. There are very simple methods to uncover a person&#8217;s wants; once they are identified the sky is the limit.</p>
<p>When it comes to bum marketing, then you will need to be able to think a little independently. The thing is that your uniqueness needs to go into your articles you write. You do not necessarily need to write literature, but always avoid junking up the article directories with trash articles. If your articles look like everyone else&#8217;s, then you will be hardly noticed.</p>
<p>Not only with regard to writing the articles, but also the keywords you optimize for and the way you write your titles. You can easily make your articles unique by just writing in your own voice, and that will go far because you are unique. You need to decide if you want to write high quality articles or just so-so and write more.</p>
<p>This next idea is not well known and often ignored. When you are submiting articles consider using a pen name rather than your true identity. You will notice two advantages to this method. You can ignore the mistakes that may creep in by having a pseudo name or pen name. This means you won&#8217;t have to be emabrrassed by poor quality articles. Of course, this also helps keep your competition from gaining access to your vital information because they won&#8217;t know who you are either. </p>
<p>Finally, Bum Marketing is not for bums, it&#8217;s truely for those who want to work hard at making a generous income online despite the overall odds of success. The Bum Marketing opportunity offers a ray of sunshine in the quest for hope. Expand your horizons beyond your wildest dream with the freedom for your work that is offered with Bum Marketing. The hard work and patience you put into Bum Marketing will pay off with a bit of time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve already seen our post about <a href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/why-does-article-marketing-work-so-well-for-affiliates-and-online-business-owners-alike">why article marketing works</a>, then you&#8217;ve likely made a commitment to boost your efforts in this area. And that&#8217;s a smart move as an affiliate because article marketing has been used for years to drive traffic to blogs and websites, to boost incoming links and increase page ranking. It&#8217;s a great way to get visitors to your affiliate promotions and grow your online earnings. Many affiliates achieve such fantastic results with article marketing that it&#8217;s at the top of their marketing strategy. </p>
<p><strong>Here are a few important affiliate article marketing dos and don&#8217;ts to get the most from this powerful marketing strategy:</strong></p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> include a link to your website. While many article marketing directories do not allow you to place links in the body of your article, they do encourage you to link to your website or webpage in your author box or bio. Always include a link to your website.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> make sure your article is on a subject related to the product you&#8217;re promoting. Some affiliates make the mistake of writing content that is popular or in high demand in the hope that someone will read the article and click through to their website on an entirely different subject.</p>
<blockquote><p>For example, writing an article on home-made dog treats and then including a link to your dating website just doesn&#8217;t make any sense. Your article won&#8217;t have the impact you want it to and any links you do generate will be coming from dog sites, not dating sites, which won&#8217;t help your SEO efforts as much&#8230; relevancy of the topic matters.</p></blockquote>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> spell check your content. Most article directories do not check your article for spelling and grammar before they publish it.  That&#8217;s your job.</p>
<p>* <strong>DON&#8217;T</strong> publish a sales page disguised as an article. It&#8217;s insulting to your readers and it won&#8217;t have the desired effect.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> repurpose quality content you already have to publish on article marketing sites. </p>
<p>* <strong>DON&#8217;T</strong> publish the same article on different marketing sites; this is duplicate content and can get you in trouble with article marketing sites.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> pay attention to the specs for each article marketing site.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> provide valuable and original content.</p>
<p>* <strong>DON&#8217;T</strong> plagiarize; be original!</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> provide relevant facts and figures to give your article credibility and authority. These are the articles which get re-published the most.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> format your article for reading online. That means short paragraphs, bullet points and lists, subheadings and a clear structure.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> write a polished bio – you&#8217;re an expert, so present yourself like one. </p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> include a call to action in your biography. Inspire and motivate readers to click through to your website.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> choose article marketing sites that provide statistics so you can see which articles are published most often and viewed most often.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> categorize your articles appropriately so readers can find you.</p>
<p>* <strong>DO</strong> give your articles captivating headlines! Grab your reader&#8217;s attention.</p>
<p>Each article marketing site or directory will have their own publisher&#8217;s agreement for you to review and approve. Be sure you&#8217;re aware of what the site requires and allows before you submit an article to them, and make sure you&#8217;re submitting to a directory that gets enough traffic to make your efforts worthwhile. Following these affiliate article marketing dos and don&#8217;ts will help you reach your article marketing efforts quickly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-105" title="happy and successful affiliate marketer" src="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/happy-success.jpg" alt="happy and successful affiliate marketer" width="224" height="210" />While the ability to achieve happiness and fulfillment may seem elusive at best, the truth is it is actually quite possible to find both. Affiliate marketers have a special advantage over those with ordinary jobs because they&#8217;re already doing something positive to move themselves forward toward success.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 5 tips to achieve happiness and fulfillment in your life and work:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Know what you want and then put it in writing</p>
<p>What do you truly want? Visualize yourself feeling happy and fulfilled. What do you see? Are you sitting on a beach? Is your debt gone? Are you painting? Running? Playing with your children? Write down what will make you feel happy and fulfilled – consider it your life vision statement. Post it in a place where you have access to it and can refer back to it often.</p>
<p>From this vision statement, create small steps to make your vision a reality. For example, if you find fulfillment from being with your friends, then what can you do to make that a reality?</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Be grateful for what you have</p>
<p>Gratitude is a powerful emotion. It reminds you of how important the small things really are. Each breath, ray of sunshine, plate of food and roof over our head is something to be grateful for. Make a practice of writing down what you&#8217;re grateful for each day. A nice practice is to wake in the morning and think about what you have to look forward to and end the day thinking about or journaling what you are grateful for.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Help others</p>
<p>We&#8217;re not saying you have to donate your life savings or volunteer 40 hours a week, what we are saying is that small acts of kindness boost your mood incredibly. And they have the effect of improving the lives of others. Small things, like holding a door for someone in need, saying &#8220;thank you&#8221; and &#8220;have a nice day&#8221; when you&#8217;re talking to strangers and helping to pay for someone&#8217;s coffee when they&#8217;re short changed, brings happiness to everyone around you.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Understand that you have the power</p>
<p>You&#8217;re ultimately responsible for everything you think and do. While that may seem depressing at first, when you consider the unfortunate decisions you&#8217;ve made (and we&#8217;ve all made decisions we wished we could take back) the truth is that this is an amazing power. You can choose to learn from mistakes, take advantage of opportunities, look on the bright side and control your life.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> What is your purpose in life?</p>
<p>Is your purpose to help others, to learn, to lead, to unite? We all have a direction we want to take our lives in. Finding your purpose may not be easy. However, it can be a fun process in and of itself. For example, if you love learning new things then your ultimate purpose in life might be to learn. Regardless of what your work and lifestyle are, you can make time to embrace your purpose. Read books, take online courses, enroll in college courses, participate in community education.</p>
<p>You deserve to feel happy and fulfilled, whatever that means to you. Take the time to celebrate who you are and all that you have in your life. Understand what makes you ultimately feel happy and fulfilled and create strategies to make it happen.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re anything like most aspiring internet entrepreneurs, you wonder if techniques that were all the rage a few years back still work. After all, it seems like there&#8217;s a new tactic getting launched every other day. Article marketing is one of those topics that&#8217;s been talked about non-stop. But you&#8217;re probably wondering if it still works as well as it once did, right?</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t tried it yet, article marketing is one of the best marketing tools available whether you&#8217;re a beginner, intermediate or experienced business owner. It works especially well for affiliate marketers <em>(hint, hint&#8230;) </em></p>
<p>Internet article marketing is the process of writing articles and publishing them on article directories and websites. It can give your website or blog the boost it needs to start getting traffic and making affiliate commissions. As you grow, article marketing will continue to establish you as an expert and drive much needed traffic to your website.</p>
<p><strong>EXAMPLE:</strong> Here&#8217;s how it works for members of our <a href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com">health affiliate program</a> &#8211; you have a blog or website that contains content and affiliate links to one of our health-related products. By marketing your website with articles, you&#8217;re able to increase the number of visitors to your site and accordingly, increase the number of clicks on your affiliate links. In the end, this should translate into an increase in affiliate sales commissions.</p>
<p><em>Still need some convincing?</em> Here are a few reasons <strong>why article marketing works</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>1. Article marketing is a great way to generate traffic. </strong></p>
<p>Each article you write will have a bio or resource box. Your bio will include a link to your website. Then, as website owners republish your content on their own website, they&#8217;re required to keep your links back to your website intact. People who read your content on these websites and on the article directory itself, will click through to your website to learn more. Additionally, the incoming links that article marketing creates will help boost your search engine results, which drives traffic to your website.</p>
<p><strong>TIP: </strong>Make sure your article is well-written and interesting. Your resource/bio box should be catchy and make the reader want to learn more. By crafting your resource box to be an effective call to action, you&#8217;ll maximize click-through traffic to your website or blog.</p>
<p><strong>2. Article marketing helps build your credibility as an expert in your niche industry.<br />
</strong><br />
Provided the articles you write and publish offer valuable information and benefit to your target audience, as they&#8217;re published on relevant websites with your signature box and biography you&#8217;ll begin to establish yourself as an authority.</p>
<p><strong>3. Article marketing helps to increase exposure and brand awareness. </strong></p>
<p>Article directories have a broad reach and extend to people all around the world. Each website your article is published on has their own target market and visitors who will, once they have read your article, be aware of you and your business.</p>
<p><strong>4. Article marketing increases your recognition. </strong></p>
<p>Advertising experts agree that it takes between 3 and 7 exposures for a person to develop recognition. This means it takes time for them to think of your business when they have a need, see a logo, hear a slogan and so on. As your content and name become prevalent online, your prospects will start to develop recognition. Article marketing helps you reach your customers and prospects repeatedly.</p>
<p><strong>5. Article marketing gives you the opportunity, sometimes, to promote your products or services. </strong></p>
<p>Some article marketing sites allow you to have internal text links. That means that within your content you can link to product pages, sales pages, or promotions. They generally limit the number of links you can have, but this can be a great way to simply drive profits. Note that it&#8217;s important to make sure your content provides value, and is more than a sales page thinly disguised as an article.</p>
<p>You can also accomplish these results by submitting articles to relevant websites for publication. However, because most article directories are free and writing content is fairly easy, article marketing works particularly well for affiliate marketers and those on a limited budget. All it requires is a bit of your time. <strong>So, get busy and start submitting those articles&#8230; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lots</span> of them!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-86" title="New FTC Guidelines Effective December 1st, 2009" src="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/legal-building.jpg" alt="New FTC Guidelines Effective December 1st, 2009" width="282" height="188" />December 1, 2009 marks the effective date of the FTC&#8217;s Guidelines for Endorsements and Testimonials that all marketers must adhere to. As a result, the Affiliate Agreement for promoting the products here at HealthAffiliateTraining.com has been updated.</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/affiliate.html" target="_blank">Please review the new agreement here</a>.</strong></p>
<p>As an affiliate, it&#8217;s important that you understand how these guidelines effect you and your business practices. In general, the guidelines seem to address honesty when advertising and marketing products to the public. No one benefits when consumers are mislead and it seems that the FTC&#8217;s primary objective is to protect the consumer. This is a good thing for everyone.</p>
<p><em><strong>So, what should you do as an affiliate marketer to comply with these new guidelines?</strong></em></p>
<p>First of all, I am <span style="text-decoration: underline;">NOT</span> an attorney and nothing here should be taken as legal advice. You should consult your own attorney if you are unsure about the steps you need to take in your own business. I will, however, tell you my opinions and what I am doing in my own business.</p>
<p><strong>1. </strong>Familiarize yourself with the FTC&#8217;s guidelines and follow them where applicable in your business.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 3 excellent resources you can use to educate yourself:</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Actual FTC Guidelines</span>:<br />
<a href="http://www.ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005endorsementguidesfnnotice.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005endorsementguidesfnnotice.pdf</a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Special FTC Disclosure Report from Attorney Mike Young</span>:<br />
<a href="http://mikeyounglaw.com/ftc-disclosure-special-report.pdf" target="_blank">http://mikeyounglaw.com/ftc-disclosure-special-report.pdf</a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Interview by Jim Edwards with FTC Assistant Deputy Rich Clelend</span>:<br />
<a href="http://www.igottatellyou.com/blog/ftc-change-interview/" target="_blank">http://www.igottatellyou.com/blog/ftc-change-interview/</a></p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Maintain a high level of honesty in all of your communications with website visitors, email subscribers, etc. Do not make false claims about a product just to make sales. Be upfront with people and you will be seen as a trusted source of information rather than some sleazy marketer who just wants to make a fast buck.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Be transparent. <strong>If you&#8217;re earning an affiliate commission from recommending a product, you need to disclose this fact</strong>. It&#8217;s up to you how you do it and you should consult the guidelines to determine the right way to go about it. Although I recommend very few affiliate products on this particular blog, there are some tools (such as Aweber) that I do promote and earn a commission on when someone signs up through my link.</p>
<p>I have added a <em><strong>&#8220;Compensation Disclosure&#8221;</strong></em> document to explain this type of affiliate relationship and there is a link to it with the other legal documents in the footer section of this website (<strong>NOTE: </strong>You <span style="text-decoration: underline;">cannot</span> simply copy this agreement &#8211; it&#8217;s copyright protected. You&#8217;ll need to make your own disclosure or purchase the rights to a legal package that allows you to use such documents as your own).</p>
<p>Whatever you do, don&#8217;t just ignore the guidelines and do nothing. When you do business online you are subject to the same rules and laws as any other business. You and your business will prosper only when you play by the rules and treat your customers and visitors the right way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22" title="affiliate best program" src="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/health-affiliate-profits.jpg" alt="affiliate best program" width="270" height="166" />If you&#8217;re a health affiliate, best program choices include those that not only focus on health-related products but also those that provide tools and training to help you be more successful. Let&#8217;s take a look at what makes a good health affiliate marketer and why the <a href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com">Health Affiliate Training</a> center is a great place to get started.</p>
<p>First of all, any affiliate marketer who wants to be successful must be committed to learning the skills it takes to get people to click on their affiliate links. When someone does click on your affiliate link, they should be warmed up to the idea of buying your recommended product. They don&#8217;t need to be completely sold on it, rather they just need to be open to the idea.</p>
<p>As a health affiliate marketer, it&#8217;s your job to learn as much as possible about the particular product you&#8217;re promoting and the condition it is designed to help. You should get a good understanding of what a typical person looking for this type of solution is going though and what they want or need to solve their problem. You see, in most cases you are a problem solver. Someone has an issue and you provide the information to help them overcome it.</p>
<p>The key to enjoying success from your affiliate marketing efforts begins with choosing high-quality products. That&#8217;s why the affiliate program at <strong>HealthAffiliateTraining.com</strong> is one of the best places to start. Not only are the products top-notch, but they also come with a variety of marketing tools you can use to make your job easier. Banners, articles and other tools are available for you to use. You can feel good about making recommendations to good products that offer solutions people are looking for.</p>
<p>In addition to promoting good products, you also need to keep up-to-date on the marketing methods that will help you make sales and earn those affiliate commissions. And while there are tons of good training programs available that will teach you affiliate marketing, very few of them are free. In fact, you can spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on training before you ever see a single commission come your way.</p>
<p>At <strong>HealthAffiliateTraining.com</strong>, we offer a great affiliate program plus the training you need to get started. And once you become a free member, you get access to all the training information contained in our growing library at no charge. You&#8217;ll also be eligible for special contests and promotions to help you earn even more commissions.</p>
<p>And speaking of commissions, you&#8217;ll find that our program offers generous commissions ranging between 50 and 75%. Payment processing is handled by ClickBank, one of the most reputable programs around so you can be assured that your commission payments will be calculated correctly and paid on time.</p>
<p>When you add it all up &#8211; great products, generous commissions, rock-solid affiliate tracking and payment along with free affiliate training, you can easily see why <strong>HealthAffiliateTraining.com</strong> is one of the <strong><em>best affiliate program</em></strong> choices you can make.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-70" title="successful affiliate website" src="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/website-www.jpg" alt="successful affiliate website" width="264" height="219" />One of the biggest hurdles a new affiliate commonly faces is building an effective blog or website. And when you start searching for help it can get complicated and overwhelming before you know it. However, when you follow a few simple and effective strategies, you can come out a successful affiliate at the end of it all.</p>
<p>Here are a few things to keep in mind when building your first website or blog:</p>
<p><strong>Keep It Simple</strong></p>
<p>Forget about having all the latest bells and whistles – you don&#8217;t need them. Design on the internet needs to be easy on the eye, user friendly and make sense to the average user. Never assume your customers will be as web savvy as you &#8211; many may just be familiarizing themselves with online surfing while others may simply have come to expect traditional navigation on a website.</p>
<p>Simplicity always rules on the &#8216;net. Let your website stand out by making it easy for the visitor to find what they&#8217;re looking for, and most importantly by providing great value and content within your site. Then simply follow a few basic good design rules and you&#8217;re set to go. Here are the most important rules to follow:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Don&#8217;t use color for the background. Keep the background of your website or blog white. In some instance a light color will work but avoid dark colors. Black can be especially difficult on the eyes. When in doubt, go with a white background and black text.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Don&#8217;t use too many graphics or flash images. Flash images can make a website slow to load and be downright annoying in some cases. Use images sparingly and make sure you use Alt tags in your images to make them search engine friendly. A few well-placed graphics can make a good impression and add to the actual content of the website – graphics should always enhance your text, not take away from it.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Don&#8217;t use music or audio without controls. An audio welcome can be a great addition to your website but always give visitors the option to click to hear the audio if they choose to. Otherwise, you may startle or annoy your customers when they suddenly hear a message they weren&#8217;t expecting.</p>
<p>Music in most cases is just not necessary and will distract from the message of your site. If you feel that music is a good addition, again, give your customers the option to click to listen to the music rather than taking that choice away from them.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Don&#8217;t use too many text colors. As with the background and design of a site, text color should be kept simple. At most use three colors within your site, preferably two &#8211; one for the standard text and one for headlines. This will make reading easy on the eye and look more professional. Using two colors also means that your headlines will stand out to the reader and draw them into the text.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Break it up. Text can be very difficult to read online. Make it easy on your visitors&#8217; eyes by breaking up the text into small, manageable sentences. It also helps to add bullet points and sub-headlines throughout the text as many readers will skim pages rather than absorb them in full.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t Forget To Add Great Content<br />
</strong><br />
Good design is important but great content can make all the difference to your internet success. The best approach is to gel good design with stellar content and you&#8217;ll have a sure winner on your hands.</p>
<p>Always give a little more than other websites and keep your content fresh and up-to-date. Add interesting stories, articles, downloads, videos and information that will help your visitors achieve their goals and more likely to click on your affiliate links.</p>
<p><strong>Ask For Feedback </strong></p>
<p>Feedback – good or bad – is important to your business. If you have a newsletter, ask your readers to tell you how you&#8217;re doing. You could also add a poll to your website asking for feedback. You can also ask friends and other marketers for an honest evaluation of your site. While all comments may not offer opportunities for improvement, many of them will.</p>
<p><em><strong>Do you need some feedback on your affiliate blog or website?</strong></em> If you&#8217;re a member of <a href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com">HealthAffiliateTraining.com</a>, just fill out the <a href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/contact-us">contact form here</a> with your website URL. We&#8217;ll take a look and send back any ideas for improvement. That&#8217;s just another benefit of your FREE membership <img src='http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-66" title="increase affiliate sales" src="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/money-key.jpg" alt="increase affiliate sales" width="235" height="217" />Affiliate marketing is a great way to make a living.  Finding and promoting products you believe in can earn enough to make it possible to work from home full-time. Some people use their money-making website as a source of extra money to save, spend on travel or other personal goals.  And of course, the more affiliate sales you make, the better.  Let’s take a look at a few of the ways you can increase your online profits as an affiliate marketer.</p>
<p><strong>How To Make More Affiliate Sales</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Consistently publish content. Whether you have a blog or a website, the key to drawing attention and earning top page ranking is through content.  It’s also the best way to presell your products which we’ll get into next.  So what type of content can you publish?  Here are just a few options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Autoresponders</li>
<li>E-newsletters</li>
<li>Blogs posts</li>
<li>Social networking via forums, social networking sites, and chat rooms</li>
<li>Articles</li>
<li>Press releases</li>
<li>Reports</li>
<li>Ebooks</li>
<li>Reviews</li>
<li>Audio and video posts</li>
<li>Ecourses</li>
<li>Workbooks</li>
</ul>
<p>The list of possibilities could go on and on&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Network.  Networking, online and off, is a great way to spread the word about your business.  Social networking in particular can be extremely effective for sharing your unique knowledge and expertise.  You’ll drive more traffic to your website and thus increase your affiliate sales.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Pre-sell.  Your job as an affiliate is to pre-sell the products you&#8217;re promoting.  That means you don’t have to give a heavy sales pitch&#8230; just sharing information is enough. In fact, blatantly selling on your website may actually decrease your affiliate sales.  Pre-sell by writing articles, courses, reviews, blog posts and other valuable and informative content about the products you have chosen to represent.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Chose your affiliate products carefully.  You not only want to choose quality products, you also want to choose products that have a good conversion rate.  If you’re working hard to send traffic to their sales page, you deserve a sales page that converts.  This leads to the next step.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Track and test.  Tracking and testing not only who comes to your site but also how many conversions you make with each product, promotion and/or marketing tool is the only way to ensure you make money and continue to increase your affiliate sales.</p>
<p><strong>6. </strong>Finally, look for unique affiliate products and/or complimentary affiliate products.  For example, if you’re an affiliate for our <em><strong>&#8220;Natural Sleep Made Simple&#8221;</strong></em> ebook, a complimentary affiliate product might be a natural sleep supplement like the ones offered at <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/NativeRemedies" target="_blank">Native Remedies</a></strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Sidenote:</strong> If you want to be an affiliate for <em><strong>&#8220;Natural Sleep Made Simple&#8221;</strong></em> or any of the other great health-related products in our health affiliate program, <a href="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com">go here now to sign up</a>. It&#8217;s completely free and you&#8217;ll get access to lots of free training and tools when you sign up.</p></blockquote>
<p>Being an affiliate can be a fantastic way to make a living and when you increase your affiliate sales you&#8217;ll find it becomes even more enjoyable.  Creating your content is only the beginning&#8230; continue to look for ways to broaden awareness of your website through networking and other internet marketing strategies, presell your products and share your knowledge and expertise with others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-46" title="new affiliate marketer" src="http://www.healthaffiliatetraining.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mistakes.jpg" alt="new affiliate marketer" width="212" height="276" />Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to start your internet career and start earning money by working from home. You can work in your PJs, make money selling someone else&#8217;s product, and avoid the hassles of customer service that goes along with having a product of your own. It&#8217;s also the fastest way I know of to get up and running online.</p>
<p>While it can produce great rewards, not everyone finds the success they&#8217;ve been told to expect. Here are some of the most common mistakes new affiliate marketers are likely to make:</p>
<p><strong>1. Plastering their website or blog with affiliate banners and links.</strong></p>
<p>Not only does this look scream &#8220;Newbie&#8221;, it can also hurt your rankings in the search engines. Google is looking for good content on the site and if they find it, they give the site a favorable nod in their rankings.</p>
<p>People won&#8217;t come to this site and say, &#8220;Wow, look at all the pretty banners, I think I&#8217;ll buy myself something.&#8221; Remember, online surfers are looking for information that will solve their problems.</p>
<p><strong>2. Taking a &#8220;build it and they will come&#8221; approach with their site.</strong></p>
<p>Ah, if only it were that easy&#8230; But it&#8217;s important to jump right in and start driving traffic to your affiliate site. Without traffic, you don&#8217;t have a business. Luckily, there are lots of ways to get visitors to your site including article marketing, building Squidoo lenses, list building and sending emails, Twitter, Pay Per Click ads, etc.</p>
<p><strong>3. Using the &#8220;set it and forget it&#8221; mentality.<br />
</strong><br />
Back to the Google thing&#8230; search engines like to see new content constantly showing up on the site. Even if you set up their site using proper SEO techniques and land yourself on the first page of the search engines, if you neglect your site it won&#8217;t stay on top for long.</p>
<p><strong>4. Sending out the same cut and paste promotional emails as everyone else.</strong></p>
<p>The emails provided by the product creator are there as an example. As a successful affiliate marketer in the making, you should put the emails in your own words and inject your personality into them. Yes, it takes a few extra minutes, but you&#8217;ll be rewarded with a better relationship with your readers and more sales.</p>
<p><strong>5. Spending their entire budget on Pay Per Click ads before they know what they&#8217;re doing.</strong></p>
<p>PPC is something that requires education, practice and money you&#8217;re willing to lose while you go through the learning process. Fortunately, there are lots of free ways to drive traffic when you&#8217;re a beginner and when you&#8217;re ready for it, educational materials are widely available on PPC methods.</p>
<p><strong>6. Picking a niche they&#8217;re not interested in.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s been said that you don&#8217;t have to have an interest in your niche, you can just outsource everything that needs to be written and you&#8217;ll do just fine. While that point of view does hold merit, most beginners do the work themselves rather than use outsourcing right off the bat. If you&#8217;re going to spend hours working in a niche, it will be a lot more fun if you have some interest in it.</p>
<p><strong>7. Failing to build a list.</strong></p>
<p>By capturing the email addresses of visitors to your site, you&#8217;ll have multiple opportunities to turn them into buyers when they don&#8217;t purchase the first time. And guess what? Most people DON&#8217;T buy the first time&#8230; they need a few reminders before pulling out their credit cards.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money working from the comfort of your own home. Avoid these mistakes and you&#8217;ll be well ahead of the game.

If you&#8217;re anything like me, <strong>you want to feel good about the products and services you recommend to others</strong> and you get a great deal of satisfaction from offering them the help they need. The profits you get are really just the icing on the cake.</p>
<p>Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8230; the whole reason most people get into affiliate marketing in the first place is to make money on their own terms. They enjoy the convenience of working from home and not answering to a boss. But aside from this freedom&#8230; making money to support your family is the reason nearly everyone works, whether at a 9 to 5 job or from home.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re really lucky in this business because we can CHOOSE which products we want to promote and stay within niches we&#8217;re actually interested in. For many in this business, passion becomes intertwined with profit. When you reach that point, life is good.</p>
