Are You Ready To Learn How To Make Money on the Internet? 3 Serious Questions To Ask Yourself To Find Out!

Posted on 22. Jun, 2009 by Derrick.

Are you ready to learn how to make money on the internet or how to achieve any desire, dream or goal you might have?  here’s 3 Serious Questions to ask yourself to find out if you’re a contender!

I’ve just read Alex Jeffrey’s New ebook - Newbie’s Nightmare which you can download for free, and thought I would do a 3 part review mixed in with some of my personal thoughts and ideas :).  Firstly its relatively lightweight and easy to read- only 46 pages, about a 45minute read (1 page a minute) but it contains some highly concentrated concepts, and strategies, including detailing Alex Jeffrey’s basic marketing strategy.

Although Newbie’s Nightmare does not have chapter headings or sections, it is basically split into 3 parts (hence the 3 part review). - Here is my breakdown of the sections:

1. 1. The Prelude - The Prerequisites to being successful online
   2. The Problems - The 3 common problems newbies face
   3. The Pathway To Success - Understanding The Internet Marketing Method (This last part includes the hurdle that is stopping 99% of newbie’s from ever making money.

So in this first part of this Review I’ll be giving you my slant on the Prerequisites - and there are only 3!

1. TIME

Do you have the TIME to invest to become successful? Sometimes we are in a very busy place - everything seems to be happening at once - we have problems at work, financial challenges, relationship issues, health problems or just as possible - they could all be good but stressful events - eg buying a new house or moving house, planning a holiday, getting married, getting promoted at work.  These are probably not the best times to begin a new venture.  I believe these are valid reasons why you may not have the time right at the time, but they will only delay the determined individual for a short period of time.

Generally most of us we usually do not have all these things happening at once and if we really wanted to, we could MAKE THE TIME. Just think about all the time we sometimes waste on unimportant things that really have little or no impact on the quality of our life (I know I wasted my first 30min this morning just surfing and reading some news when I should have started preparing for the day).  So really, the question is not do YOU have the time to invest to become successful, but do YOU WANT to invest the time to be successful.

You need to ask yourself - Am I Prepared to set aside time, MAKE TIME EVERYDAY to do what is necessary to become successful at something (whether that be making money online or learning a new skill).

2. TARGET

Do you have a TARGET?  do you have a goal, a dream a desire? Something you really want?

It doesn’t have to be big or amazing. but whatever it is it does need to BE SPECIFIC.  It can be an income value, it can be to lose weight, to get that six pack, whatever it is, you need to know exactly what it is and be committed to it.  As most of you are reading this because you want to make money online, it should be a dollar value.  Once you have locked your Target in - you must develop a game plan - a plan of attack,  a map to give you the most direct route to reach your destination.

This is the value of having a mentor, a coach an advisor,  someone who has been where you want to be, so they can guide you on the path to success.  Of course this information doesn’t always have to come through direct guidance as much of the information these days is available online, in books, magazines etc. . but really the most powerful way to learn and make the fastest progress is having someone coach you.

Having a network of people who want to join you on the journey can make a big difference as well.  - Get yourself a TARGET that inspires you and gets you excited in the morning!  and BE SPECIFIC!

3. FOLLOW THOUGH.

Probably the most important of the 3 prerequisites, as without this one, you’ll be wasting your time.  I think this is probably the biggest reason for not hitting the target.  Not taking action on the information and guidance provided.

We start enthusiastic, even taking action on everything (which in itself can be a problem:) , but then progressively laziness creep in, things become a little too difficult - it becomes too hard to make that phone call or send that email, because you don’t have the persons contact details right on hand - I mean its going to waste 5 minutes trying to search for that phone number on my computer or address book, I think i’ll just continue surfing the web and waste my time that way - I’m a lot more comfortable with that. . Target? what Target? . . . .

This happens to often when we let our focus fall to the menial or seemingly insignificant task before us rather than keep our eyes and mind on the prize.  Know your Target, Keep it alive in your mind.  BE COMMITTED TO FOLLOWING THROUGH on a proven path and you must Meet with Success!

Hope you enjoyed part one of my review and thoughts on Alex Jeffrey’s Newbie’s Nightmare.  Love to know if you found this useful - Please post any questions or comments below. . . part 2 of the review

Alex Jeffrey’s New FREE eBook - Newbie’s Nightmare Released!

Posted on 20. Jun, 2009 by Derrick.

I’ve been enjoying an extended holiday over the last month and a half travelling to Hong Kong, London and Paris and have now relocated to Singapore for the time being enjoying the rare pleasure of feeling like I’m in a sauna 24/7:), In any case I’m ready to get back into some blogging!

Anyways I just got an email a couple of days ago letting me know Alex Jeffrey’s has just made his latest Free ebook “Newbie’s Nightmare” available online. So I thought I’d make a quick post about it.

Last year I was involved with his Internet Marketing Coaching program (and hence the birth of this website:) and while he was teaching a lot of strategies and important information on how to be successful online, he also learned a great deal himself about his students and rolling out a coaching program. One of the things he learned was some of the most common reasons why 99% of people fail to make money online. He shares this for free in his ebook Newbie’s Nightmare as well as some of the key strategies to make money online successfully. At just 46 pages its an easy but powerful read. I’ll be doing a full review in the coming days. . in the meantime you can download Newbie’s Nightmare yourself for Free here.

How To Increase Your Click Through Rates And Maximize Profits From Affiliate Programs On Your Wordpress Blog.

Posted on 11. Feb, 2009 by Derrick.

Before I get to the meat of the article, I thought I would first define a few terms just in case you’re a newbie: If you already have some knowledge in this area, feel free to skip the definitions and go straight to rest of the article.

DEFINITIONS

What is an affiliate program?
An Affiliate program is simply a program you can join that allows you to sell specific products for a commission. Usually when you join such a program, you will be provided with a specific affiliate web link to the product sales page. This allows the Affiliate Program to track referrals to their site from your link, and thus compensate you for any referrals that actually lead to a sale. This is probably one of the easiest and fastest ways to create an income online, as you don’t need to create, deliver or provide support for a product - you just recommend it.

What is a Click Through Rate?
A click through rate or click through ratio is simply the number of times a link is clicked on and goes to the linked web page over the number of times that link is shown within a specified timeframe. (Also known as “impressions”).  For example if this article was visited 100 times, and one of the specific links were clicked thru 20 times to another webpage - then the click thru ratio would be 20%.

THE PROBLEM

So if you’re an affiliate marketer, ie an independent sale’s agent for specific products, you would normally make your sales through having a website with links to these products. There are many other ways to do this such as creating advertisements that link straight to the their sales page (and therefore not requiring you to have a website) as well as email marketing (which requires you to build a list). For the purposes of this article I’m focusing on people who have set up a website or blog and primarily write articles that include links to the products they are recommending.

Most people who do this, simply insert their affiliate links into their blog or website: They simply copy and paste the affiliate link into the post. Now here’s the problem. Most affiliate links look horrible and meaningless as they are computer generated and created primarily to produce a unique link so your referrals can easily be tracked. Here is an example of how these affiliate links can appear:

http://www.AffiliateProgram.com//a.php?a=CD13798&b=25367&d=0&l=0&o=&p=0&c=4110&s1=&s2=&s3=&s4=&s5=

Of course this is not the link that will be in the text - however this horrible link will show up in the status bar. (usually at the bottom of the web browser). They appear when you hover over the link - revealing the address of where the link will take you. Because the link is meaningless and looks ugly, many people will choose not to click through and therefore you are losing opportunities for sales. These are visitors who have somehow found your website as a result of the the time you have spent with traffic generating strategies. You can stop losing these potential sales.

THE SOLUTION:

There is a way to minimize the loss of these click throughs and that is by creating professional looking and meaningful links. This is done by creating a redirect ie - creating a nicer looking link that redirects to the actual affiliate link. Here are some examples of such links:

http://www.YourDomainName.com/AffiliateProgram
http://www.YourDomainName.com/recommends/AffiliateProgram
http://www.YourDomainName.com/Goto/AffiliateProgram

Compare these links to the one previously. Which would you prefer to click thru on? As you can see, these links look much more professional, meaningful and therefore more likely to be clicked through. By creating these links you should be able to increase your average click through rate. Also since redirects conceal your affiliate ID’s within the actual affiliate link - you are also stopping people from stealing your commissions by removing your affiliate ID and replacing with their own!

So how can you set these “redirects” up? I’ve been using a software that not only creates these redirects but also helps you manage and track your affiliate links within Wordpress. Normally when you use the affiliate links you have no idea how many times they are actually clicked on unless you login to each individual affiliate program and check your statistic there - This can be very time consuming if you have subscribed to many affiliate programs.  This software makes it much easier to see an overall picture of how effective each of your affiliate links are - all in one place.

Besides this great benefit and helping you make more money and preventing loss of income from stolen afffiliate ID’s, the software has many other features which also help you save time and maximize your affiliate programs.
