We have all heard of review sites, and with the right tactics they can prove to be a great way to make affiliate sales.

With all the current ‘hype’ about the credit crunch and the global recession, I am aiming to list a number of good, steady ways to make money online.

In today’s post I am going to talk about creating your very own review page that people can come to and ultimately purchase a product through your affiliate link. So firstly we need to create some form of page that we can put content on and within that content place our affiliate links for the product we are promoting.

Now, I would recommend creating a blog. A blog is a great way to share your thoughts, opinions and generally interact with other people. You can create your own blog on your server but I would recommend signing up to one of the free ‘1click set up’ blog websites. Two great examples are:

- www.Wordpress.com

- www.Blogger.com

These websites are great, and within minutes you can be posting your very own content on your very own blog.

Now you have your blog set up, you need to find a product that you would like to promote and you need to write a review about it.

To find a good product to promote, simply head over to Clickbank (sign up if you do not already have an account) and find a product that you feel appeals to you, has a good gravity source and has an attractive, well written sales page. No matter how good the product may be, if the sales page looks like a dog’s dinner and doesn’t have a coherent writing style then there is absolutely no point in promoting it as you will not get sales.

Now, what you have to remember here is you are trying to sell the product, you need to make your review good in order for people to want to buy the product. Basically you have to create a mini sales page for that product in order to entice potential customers in.

Read the sales page for the product so you can get a very good idea on what you can write on your review page. DO NOT COPY what’s on the sales page, that’s no good and you could be breaching copyright. You need to be unique and creative. You need to get the reader to be instantly drawn in to your review in order for them to carry on reading.

An example of a good headline would be:

“Product X … The TRUTH Revealed!”

Now you need to start on writing your review. What I would recommend here is a good old mind map. Read the sales page carefully, read all of the testimonials on the sales page and do a bit of background research on the product by doing a Google search on it. You may find other review articles on the product, if so read them but DO NOT COPY the content, as I mentioned above, be unique and creative. To make your article more attractive, include the product’s eCover in the middle of your article, this will break up the text and make your article look more appealing. Like this …

Finally at the end of your review you need to include the link to the product. You can get your affiliate link for your chosen product by clicking “create hoplink” when you are inside the Clickbank marketplace. However, to generate more sales do not simply place that link at the end of your review article, in order to gain more sales you need to cloak that link. You can find out how to cloak a link by grabbing your free copy of Resource Report Profits, the step by step guide to link cloaking can be found on pages 13 - 18.

That’s it. Now you can go away and create your very own review article and place it into your very own blog.

After you have written your review for your chosen product, write another. Implement the power of the famous marketing phrase “Wash, Rinse and Repeat“.

In the next blog post I will talk about how you can generate traffic to that blog page in order to exploit your page’s maximum potential. Get creating folks

Until next time,

Tom

Sorry for my absence again! I am just completely snowed under with Resource Report Profits. I am currently working 24/7 on this product in order to bring it to you ASAP!

I just wanted to check in and see (following last week’s rant) how many of you have started to create/ have created your own products? I bet it’s a VERY small percentage of you.

You see the thing is, there is a LOT of money to be made in creating your own products, whether it be inside or outside of the IM niche. People really dig information!

Obviously there is a BIG stumbling block that many wanna-be product creators face and that is writer’s block. I know, because I’ve been there. You have an idea for a product you want to create but as soon as you open up your Word Document program, you go completely blank.

It’s most frustrating. But I want to show you how you can get around it. It’s all about one word called …

PLANNING!

You see, in order to create anything online, you need to go through some form of planning process. I mean, even for this blog post you are reading now, I planned out everything on paper beforehand.

Click The Image Below To See My FULL Planning Process For This Post!

Hopefully you can understand my hand-writing

As you can see though, I have mapped out everything that I wanted to talk about in this blog post.

- How to start creating a product once you have realised what you want to create the product on.

- How to plan out the creation of the product

- How to price the product

- What rights are going to be associated with the product

That mind map you see above took me 5 minutes to create, yet it provided me with 101 things to talk about in this blog post today!

I use the same method when I am creating a product. Obviously I spend about 2 days brainstorming what I want to do with that product so as you can imagine, I have a pretty big mind map!

The aim of this post today was to expand on last week’s little rant. I want to make it clear that creating your own products is a great way to make money online.

With the above tactics, I am almost 100% sure you can create your own product. You just need to go through the correct planning steps. Seriously, sit down now with a pen and paper and run off a quick mind map, I think you will be astonished at what you come up with.

Alternatively, you can always outsource the creation of your product’s. Many successful marketer’s outsource nearly all of their tasks. I will reveal more on outsourcing to you later as I have a fantastic free guide that I want to show you. I will email you more details when it is ready (VERY, VERY Soon!)

I hope you found this post useful? Please quickly leave a comment if you have the time, I would love to hear your opinions.

Warm Regards,
Tom

I want to talk to you today about breaking free online. It seems like less and less struggling internet marketers are taking action to fulfil their ambition of making money online. I have called these struggling marketers “wannabe marketers”, the want to get rich online but aren’t.

More and more people are failing to make money online, they are becoming de-motivated and eventually give up completely. What I want to explain to you today is that making money online is not a complete walk in the park, it requires effort. With motivation and passion, you will make it online!

You might not like what I am about to say, but it’s the truth!

Wannabe marketers trying to make a living on the internet are purchasing more and more online products. The latest eBook on how to build a 2,500 opt-in mailing list in a week etc. But 95% of these buyers never actually read the eBook. They put it to one side and let it gather virtual dust on their hard drive! Why do they do this? I mean it’s crazy, whenever I buy an eBook, service or piece of software, I make sure that I use it. What’s the point in purchasing if it is never going to get used? It’s a complete waste of money.

My theory on this is that many wannabe marketers expect internet marketing to be an easy ride. They see top online marketers raking in the $$$ from every angle and they then purchase products from these marketers like crazy to find out how they do it. That’s all very well, there are some really good products out there that will help you to make money online, but my point is that many buyers never use the products they purchase.

It is so easy to be persuaded by a sales page, I mean that’s what they are there for. If I feel that I am getting ready to buy a product. I will always quickly ask myself 3 questions:

1. How am I going to use the product in question?
2. How do I feel it is going to help ME make money?
3. When will I find the time to use the product?

If I can’t answer those 3 questions then I move away from the sales page and never go back.

Obviously, if I am on a sales page that is offering something for free, I snap it up straight away. Even if I don’t use it it’s not really a problem because it didn’t cost me anything in the first place. But be wary when on a sales page asking for you to purchase. These sales pages are designed mainly for you to purchase the product being offered. Before buying, just quickly ask yourself the above 3 questions I ask myself. Even if you can’t answer one of the questions, my advice would be to get off that particular sales page, quickly!

Too many wannabe marketers are purchasing these “miracle products”, never using them and then getting disillusioned and de-motivated by online marketing. This vicious cycle repeats itself until the wannabe marketer has had enough and gives up. Now I am not saying never buy another product again, there are some really good ones out there that will make you money, just make sure you can use them and profit from them before buying.

Use these products to create your own products! Learn how the top guys in the business create their money making products. Whether you create a simple how-to-guide or a full bodied home study course. Creating your own products is the key to becoming a success in the business.

Thanks for reading my little rant today, I appreciate it

Warm Regards,
Tom.

It’s absolute chaos here. I have been so busy working on Resource Report Profits that I have “neglected” my blog a little. Well today I have decided to let you know of the top five (in my opinion) free marketing tools that my business can not run without. I have listed them in order of importance to me. Enjoy

Quite simply, without ClickBank my business would be worthless. I manage to pull in substantial profits from my two ClickBank accounts on a daily basis. All I do is promote products that are on the ClickBank market place and I then get paid a commission if I make a sale.

I use Clickbank to promote products. If you wish to sell products on ClickBank, then you will need to pay ClickBank to have your product put onto the marketplace.

If you do not have a ClickBank account I wholeheartedly suggest you get one now.

Skype is a great way to chat to people across the globe. It is completely free and easy to use. You can instant message contacts on Skype, you can also call people via Skype. I use Skype to chat to potential JV partners and to stay in contact with my business associates.

Calling landlines on Skype is not free, you can buy credit to do landline calls. But the instant messaging and computer to computer calls are free.

By all means add my on Skype, my ID is: tommansell

Wordpress, a true goldmine script. Wordpress is a free script that you can download and install onto your website. This blog is powered by Wordpress. It has so many features and I can not believe it is free, I would quite easily pay for it. Setting up a blog is a great way to keep people up to date with what you are doing, it is also a great way to build relationships with your readers and turn your readers into potential business associates.

Alternatively, if you do not have a website, you can still set up a free blog over at Wordpress.com. They will host your blog for free.

Google Analytics is simply unbelievable. This tracking software has so many features its mind-blowing. I have Google Analytics set up on all of my websites and by doing this I can see exactly what’s what. I can see where my traffic is coming from, I can see what countries all my visitors come from (for example, in the last 24 hours I have had 137 visits from the U.S. and 27 of those visits are from the state of Texas, how cool is that?!) Seriously, if you have a website, get Google Analytics installed on it, its great.

That’s me! I hate photos and never take a good one, so that’s probably the only one you will ever see

I would just like to personally welcome you all to my brand new (overdue) blog! I am really pleased that it is up and working and I can not wait to start working with you all.

To start things off, let me introduce myself. I am a 19 year student, currently studying Computing for Business at the University of Aston in Birmingham U.K. I don’t work for anyone like my friends, I work for myself running my own internet business. I LOVE it!

I have been earning money on the internet since I was 16. I have been in the dark for the last 3 years quietly earning money. I have now created this blog to show you how I do it. So sit back and enjoy.

If you want to make $$$ over night instantly, then you are not going to find the answer to do so here, sorry. But I do want to show you how you can slowly build up a successful online business. It takes time, trust me! Set yourself achievable goals and you will reach them, the dreamers are often the successful ones!

So, keep in touch and I hope we can work together in the future.

I am always available if you need to get hold of me via my Support Desk.

Have a great day!

Warm Regards,

Tom
