Easy Traffic Guide for Affiliates Free Report Unlocks Affiliate Income

Have you wondeed how marketers like me and thousands of others earn real money every month selling products and services as an affiliate marketer? Before I discovered the formula I did too and I wanted to create a couple of sites and develop a video course and e-course to help you discover how to make money with affiliate marketing.

I am really excited about the next three sites I will be introducing to you here as they are a grouped in a cluster with emphasis on teaching you how to gain consistent traffic to your websites. The site set-up includes a video squeeze page leading to a quality affiliate traffic free report (and e-course), the second site is a special offer for a 12 part video traffic training course, and finally a Worldpress blog to provide ongoing tools and tips to keep you up to date.

This post will share the first of these sites with you as the Easy Traffic Videos free affiliate traffic report is BHAG site #7 in my 30 sites in 30 days November Big Harry Audacious Goal (BHAG), which has been detailed in prior posts on my blog.

Remember what you have learned from me about creating sales funnels over the past 4 years… sales funnels accomplish many objectives including list building, front end sales, and larger back-end sales. The first step in the Easy Traffic Videos project is launching the video squeeze page and free report offer, which I will detail here for you. Take notes because once you understand how to set-up a proper funnel you can create unlimited sites and cash flow.

Here are the components for phase one of the project which is the video squeeze page:

1.) Domain Name – targeted and keyword rich, especially if it is an aged domain

2.) Site Graphics – these can be custom, private label or re-sell rights

3.) Introduction Video (trailer) – outsource creation or make one free at  Flix Time

4.) High Value Product to Giveaway – Free front-end offer, this can be a PDF, Video, or audio (original, PLR, MRR are fine)

5.) Auto-Responder Sequence (pre-written) – Provide product delivery and ongoing value through your messages

6.) Back-end Product – Deliver a premium front-end free offer, over deliver content through your auto-responder, promote a high value product or service on the back-end

The number one challenge for most online marketers is traffic, which results in too few people to share your offers with and as a result too few sales and very little commission income. My front-end offer helps to solve this problem for you and online marketers in general through my back-end offer which is the ‘Easy Traffic Videos Course’ and an exclusive set of bonuses that you will read about when I review site BHAG site # 8 to follow.

Remember, the key to creating websites that work is giving your subscriber and members extreme value for free and continuing to deliver value for them for as long as they remain on your list. Over time you will develop trust and your subscribers will be open-minded when considering the products and services you share with them in the future. Be patient. a quality list of responsive subscribers is developed over time.

If this project inspires you to create a similar sales funnel with the free offer leading to a back-end sale, I would love to hear about your ideas and how I can assist you. I am here to help you succeed online by creating funnels that provide value for your list so your subscribers succeed… by doing this, your success is guaranteed.

Have a blessed day!

Google Slap

I just finished reading an interesting blog post about the latest Google Slap by AdWords Guru Perry Marshall creator of “The Definitive Guide Google AdWords” an excellent content creator and blogger on the subject of AdWords. I recently heard Perry interviewed on the “Internet Marketing This Week Podcast” where he once again stated his case that affiliate marketing is not a “real” business. I don’t agree with him in terms of making a blanket statement as many affiliate marketers have created “real” businesses which include affiliate marketing within their funnel.

In his blog post “Google Slap for Product Sites,” inspired by an email that Perry received from Dr. Glenn Livingston (included in the post) concerning feedback he has been receiving and apparently test he has conducted that would indicate that Google has cracked down on thin Affiliate product review sites, which do not add value to the readers experience. These sites are light on content and heavy on affiliate links.

Perry Marshall again states his case and offers a bit of advice for the affiliate marketer, which I think is very prudent including a strategy for based on rich content sites leading to high value auto responder letters that make the case for the affiliate product which is closed on a tele-seminar. Not a bad idea.

Here are my thoughts as shared on Perry’s blog comments:

“Perry – I appreciate you for getting Dr.Livingston’s findings out to the community for consideration and action in our own businesses. Google has a simple primary objective, to provide their user with the best experience by presenting relevant search results. When their customer lands on a thin affiliate site that doesn’t add value, they will seek to take action and enforce slap – eventually every time.

I will not lump all affiliates into one category as I know several full time affiliates who produce content rich sites, provide meaningful reviews and add value for the user. The difficulty is that to separate those who do and those who don’t is more monumental than simply changing the algorithm and letting the advertisers figure it out.

The basic tenet of entrepreneurship is that entrepreneurs are compensated for the problems they solve and the value they provide. There is no doubt in my mind that professional affiliates who honor the rules add value.

The challenge now for them is knowing the way forward.

Thank you for the great information and insight! – James”

Perry Marshall’s is a sought after speaker and commentator on AdWords, his books on Advertising with Google are the most popular in the world. He is referenced across the Internet and by Entrepreneur Magazine, The Washington Post, and USA Today.

I would like to hear from you, feel free to leave your comments and share your thoughts on this issue.
