Affiliate Marketing Tips, part 2

Creating a Sales Funnel

If you’re sending your visitors straight to the vendor’s sales page, you’re leaving a lot of money on the table. And that’s because you’ll have better results if you create a sales funnel, stock it with products and then sell these affiliate products to “warm” prospects.

Here are nine tips to boost your sales funnel profits…

Tip #11: Build a list. People buy from those they know, like and trust. That means if you’re sending your prospects straight to the vendor’s page, the prospect likely doesn’t know you OR the vendor. And so the conversion rate will be very low.

Brand Signals

Google and other search engines are all about authority these days. We know that they want to deliver the very best. Often, that means delivering results that are related to brands. Big brands and people of authority are associated with quality information, and Google takes advantage of that.

We see it time and time again that well-known brands and people of authority rank more easily and more quickly than companies that are not branded and people who don’t have authority. Part of it is like a self-fulfilling prophecy – if you’re already popular, it’s easier for you to gain even more popularity. But it’s more than that, and that brands get a leg up over the competition regardless.

What are brand signals? They include many things, including anchor text related to your brand, the number of searches for your brand specifically, the number of times your brand is mentioned on social networks, and mentions on other websites. These all signal that your brand is one to pay attention to, and that’s something Google loves to know and incorporates into their search results.

Time Management Tricks part 7

Let’s continue on with more time management tricks.

Feed Your Body Well

It’s so easy to get so caught up in your work that you either forget to eat right or you end up eating fast food and other bad food all the time. Convenience food is just that… it’s convenient, but generally terrible for you. The fact is that it can make you sluggish. It sops up your energy and your motivation. It puts you in ill health so you’re ill prepared to work.

How to Get a Flood of Good Ideas

Hello, Jason Fladlien here from DailySeminar.com, and today’s topic is how to get a flood of good ideas quickly.

I have probably on any given day at least 30-50 ideas. It’s insane. In fact, I tracked it for a couple weeks. I had an idea log, and I said, “OK, any time I have an idea I’m going to write it on a piece of paper.” And it’s kind of important that I chose paper over anything else because usually I get my ideas in the middle of doing things. And so I don’t have a lot of time to switch gears so I have to have a good way to quickly access my idea log and write it down very fast; within seconds.

And there’s nothing quicker than having a pad of paper and a pen next to you, so I did that. And I discovered on some days I even had over 100, 200 ideas. And I did this by developing my idea intuition, my idea brain, which I’ll talk about in a little bit. But the fact of the matter is that there’s a lot of good ideas that can come to you right away without even having to think about it once you practice these skills that I’m about to show you. So with that in mind, let’s get right to it.
