How To MonetizeYour Blog

I was talking to a very business savvy individual the other day and we connected very well. He always had been giving me advice on what to do on my blog. Maybe some tips on increasing traffic or some very valuable FaceBook tips.

I always love when he gives me ideas and adds value to my online business because it motivates me and makes me work that much harder. So anyways the point behind all of this is that I thought to myself , what can I do for him?

He is much a more advanced internet marketer than myself and his authority perception I feel is much more than mine. So how can I add value to him. Well then we Skyped. ( If that is even the proper way to say it?) lol . But you know what I mean, we connected through Skype and of course like always he was busy adding value to myself and my business.

So while we were on the phone I just visited his blog like I always do. While I was there I noticed that his blog content was great like always, but then something clicked. He did not have any links or affiliate links that would actually enable him to make some money if he wanted to there for an extra income stream.

So I suggested that he monetize his blog, meaning of course that throughout the course of his blog he possibly throw some affiliate links in there and maybe some banners.

Well I believe he did so and that made me feel great that I could actually add some value to his online presence. Being that he always helps me and guides me. So of course the inspiration of this video stemmed from that day+ the fact that I discovered a very affordable screenshot software and wanted to use it:)

So if you are an internet or network marketer of any sort you know that  SPAMMING or trying to sell your business directly is a NO-NO. You must add value to your audience first. But in my opinion there is nothing wrong with collecting a few bucks from guiding your audience in the right direction and services. Hence the term affiliate marketing.

Well I hope this video and article has given some insight to you personal or business life and I hope your day is the best!

What Is Affiliate Marketing And Does It Work?

7 Easy Steps To Affiliate Marketing

So most people nowadays want to start a business online. Like internet , MLM or network marketing and they want to get rich overnight or push a magic button  and money will appear. Get real and know that all of these outlined marketing positions do work, given the time, focus and dedication like any other job or work that you may encounter.

Network and Internet marketing kind of tie together with MLM. In a sense that you must use the internet and networking skills to find potential prospects via social networks, blogs and forums. You can make some serious money once you get heavy into network marketing in conjunction with MLM. Like they say "it takes money to make money" Your marketing budget will heavily determine how many and the quality of leads you will begin to attract. Hence the term attraction marketing. As your knowledge begins to grow along with the # of times your followers are seeing you certain places like social media sites, blogs and other public events will determine your reputation and credibility. As you continue to grow through the ropes you can monetize your sites and blogs while funneling potential prospects to your business. Hence the term affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is used alot in the starting stages of people's MLM businesses and websites. It is so easy that you do not have to market or make your own product you can simply market someone elses product or service. This tactic helped me to generate over $1800 in less than a month promoting The Tweet Tank when it first came out. (Twitter Automator Software).


The tactics I used during that about 24 day period was as follows.

1. The Tweet Tank - The same software I was promoting I used to generate leads via Twitter.

2. Blasted my list- I blasted my list twice a week showing them the results that I was receiving with this software.

3. Writing articles- The Info Mine is a revenue sharing site and you can post articles there and you used to be able to reference to your site, but not anymore. But it still pays pretty good with Adsense.

4. Blogging - Blogging is becoming a very powerful tool and has been powerful just that now more people are realizing it. Google loves fresh content and if you provide it they will send the traffic.

5. PPC- Of course without FaceBook and Adwords my # would not have been possible but keep in mind I only spent about $80 to market this product and got over 67 leads. Yea I had Adwords down until I got the Google slap. But thats ok Google I still heart you. Well kind of lol

Well I hope this has given you a basic idea of what affiliate marketing is about and when to use it. Or at least an overview. Feel free to leave comments and feedback below I have included a link to your very own download to 7 easy steps to affiliate marketing just for reading this article.

Jermaine's 5 Basic Marketing Must Haves

Well there are many many marketing strategies out there today and you probably know about a whole bunch of ways to get your site optimized, get views and ratings etc.. But are you really applying them?

Well whether you are or not , you will definatley when trying to grow your MLM or personal brand online. Need these basic 5 principles when growing your business. These are my 5 must haves and played a key role to my substantial list growth and ongoing success.

1. Social media is first here basically because if you are not networking within your community and supporting others in the process you are just simply not going to do business in the log run. So create a Twitter, FaceBook and YouTube account and fill it with content non-stop. DO not be afraid of the naysayers. These people will always surround you. Simply do not associate with these individuals:) This one is free so if you are on a shoestring budget this will help.

2.Blog is second and it is obvious that if you want to connect with others on somewhere. Your blog will be a great centralized location to connect and add value to others. So create a Wordpress or Blogger account and connect with all of your followers there. Just do some simple articles that you know will help them, along with videos , training series and links to other great resourceful things. Before you know it you will see the "Attraction" come in to effect. People will start to join your list, provided you have one must have #3 haha. This is also free and is $0 so far.

3. Autoresponder is third and is a must have if you want to capture the information of others to provide them with value. You can use Aweber or GEt response and many others. But Aweber is my choice. See links on side or below for Aweber. You can utilize this to retain you visitors attention and let them know about up and coming promotions or reccomendations.

4. Marketing budget of at least $25-$250 a month and of course the higher level of agressiveness and dedication you can apply accordingly. You can do like some simple PPC on Facebook or Adwords, some article writing and submission. Solo ads are as well a strong favorite of mine is Ad Tactics they are a great 12,500+ deep and this is very effective in creating 10-15 leads for about $20. You cant beat this strategy even sometimes with PPC. At least for my case that is. So utilize your budget close when you first start. Then just spend less than you make and invest the profit. You will see substantial ROI if you focus and create your own funnel carefully. These are only my opinions.












5. MLSP is last but most def not least. This system called My Lead System Pro is a system that I ran into and is simply expoding my personal lead growth as well as network marketing knowledge. I would have to describe it as a Online University for Entreprenuers. Really I am amazed and excited to share the knowledge soaked up from this system at hand. You must have this system if you are serious about generating leads. This will cost you $29.99 the first 30 days and $59.99 after that per month and by far out weighs the competition, branding you and your future business as well as teach you agressive marketing tactics in the procsess.  So all in all you will have spent about $100-$150 per month to grow your business at a steady pace. If you are not thinking of spending at least this amount per month. You are probably still treating your business or MLM program like a hobby. Please feel free to leave comments and feedback on our blogs or sites. We appreciate all your support and following.

The sole difference between you the 97% and the 3% of online marketers is the 3% actually become successful being action takers and do not worry about the failures. "For We fail as we learn and learn as we fail"
