I think we are all aware of the power of article marketing, not only for driving traffic to our site but also for building backlinks.

The problem though can be in the time that it takes to submit the article to all the article directories and to also provide different variations so that the search engines are more likely to pick up your content.

I was interested then in hearing about SubmitYourArticle.com which seems to offer a huge boost to your article marketing efforts. Not only does it feature your article in its own article directory, which only members can feature in, but then it also distributes your article to literally thousands of places. In addition the new Article Leverage moves things on to the next level.

I have joined and over the new few weeks I am going to bring you the results I am achieving. Of the 8 articles I have submitted since the 3rd October 2009 and which now appear in the SubmitYourAticle directory they have been viewed 892 times and re-published through Easy Publish 232 times.  This does not include all the places that my articles get submitted to, such as other article directories, ezine publishers etc. This is just one source and so far I am very pleased with the results. I’ll give you an update soon.

New FCT rules for affiliate marketers will come into effect as from 1st December 2009. These revised regulations will affect testimonials, endorsements and blogger affiliations.

1st December isn’t far away so before you swing one way or the other and either panic or decide to bury your head in the sand, it is worth heading over to this valuable blog post which runs you through the essentials of the new rules and sheds some much needed light on what you can do to comply.

Head over and check out the post from Big Sky Markekting, it’s a short read and you will come away with a clearer understanding of the steps you need to take between now and the 1st December.

If you have been considering trying to make a profit online for a little while now you will probably have now been bombarded with all the many ways people tell you how easy, easy, easy it is. You will then purchase their subscription, go off on another tangent and end up at the end of another long month with as close to zilch as it is possible to get.

This was my story until I started to wake up to the reality of what it means to make money online. Possibly I was lucky because I came across a couple of people who weren’t all about hype, but who pointed me in the right direction. The funny thing is that what I learnt from these people is that making money is actually quite easy. No it’s not easy in the sense that many gurus tell you, but it is a simple process and once you have mastered a few skills you can start to make some money and once the first few dollars roll in there really will be no looking back for you.

1. Create an Online Presence

The first step is to build an online presence from where you can promote either your own products, or more likely when you are first starting out, affiliate links.

The easiest and cheapest way to achieve this I believe initially, is to set up a niche website or blog. I have written a short report on this called 5 Steps To A Successful Niche Blog and this can be downloaded totally FREE here.

2. Drive Traffic To Your Site

There are many, many ways of driving traffic to your site, including Squidoo, Hubpages, Social Sites, Bookmarking, Forums, Bum marketing, the list really does go on and on and more importantly all of these methods are free.  So if you are starting out with very little budget, as most of us did, then you are in a no-risk situation.

3. Building Your List

The third step is to capture the traffic that arrives at your site and to start building a list. One of the phrases that you will hear over and over online is that the ‘money is in the list’ and in this case the phrase really is true.

However, it is all very well saying that you must build a list, but how do you go about that and once you have the list what the heck do you do with it to make it profitable.

All of this isn’t difficult but what you probably need is someone to just explain the steps to you in a straightforward manner.

3 Steps To Sucess

So there you have it, three simple steps to start making money online.

1. Create a Blog
2. Drive Traffic
3. Build a List

When you are starting out, disregard all the million other things and focus on these three steps. Once you start making some cash I promise you will be bitten and then you can start to expand your skillset. But as with anything in life we need to start seeing result before we get totally hooked.

After all you aren’t doing this purely for the fun of it, although believe me it is more fun than working a 9 to 5, but to see results and to start paying off some debts or to make things better for you and your family.

If you are just getting started in affiliate marketing then Clickbank is a great place to start. There are hundreds of different digtal products available in numerous niches, which you can use to monetize your website or blog.

I have recently come across a really good blog post which explains some great ways to drive traffic to your afiliate links and to start making some sales.

The post covers forum and email marketing, social and membership sites,  article writing and viral marketing software. All the steps in fact that you need to get started.

Head over to Big Sky Marketing and check it out.

Anyone can learn how to achieve affiliate marketing success with niches. In fact, success as an affiliate marketer is going to be difficult to achieve without niches. You’ve probably heard that attaining success involves finding hungry buyers and giving them what they want. Niche marketing allows you to do this in a very specific, targeted way. There are literally millions of potential niches to market to, and many of these niches have very little competition from other advertisers. If you can find a market that’s screaming for products to buy and that has little competition, you’re on your way to affiliate marketing success.

New and profitable niches are being discovered by affiliate marketers every day, and it’s a lot like panning for gold. There are a lot of gems in the hills, but not all of them are as profitable as gold. Find a vein of gold with no other miners nearby, and you’re set. Just like with panning for gold, you have to do some research to find out where the good niches are and if they’re profitable. This research can all be done online, simply by checking out such sites as eBay, Amazon.com, and Google Trends. These sites will tell you what are the hottest selling categories of items right now. This is the jumping off point of your research.

Once you’ve found some hot categories that interest you, you have to start asking yourself questions. Who would be interested in this type of product? What are the motivations people would have to buy this product? This is how you find your niches. For example, people who are interested in antiques might specifically collect 19th century coins, Confederate currency, or Depression-era glass. You can market to any of these niches if you have a comparable product to promote.

Setting up a Wordpress blog is one of the easiest and quickest ways to gain an online presence. However, there may be times when a website format will suit you better than a traditional blog. Due to the excellent CMS themes that are being created is it now possible to use Wordpress as a website. This is a huge boom to the average person as Wordpress gives you the greatest flexibility, has the most potential and is simply the easiest to use for the technical and the non-technical person alike.

When you are creating a website it is better to narrow it down to a niche, rather than trying to cover everything, and thereby not really end up appealing to anyone.

When you choose your first niche, I think the best thing is to go with something that you know about and will enjoy writing about – that way providing fresh content is going to be that much easier. As you progress, and you start seeing how much money these websites can generate, you may decide to create a large number of them. However, by that point you will have probably reached a level where you can start outsourcing some of the content creation.

Ok, so first off, choose something that you know at least a little about. This could literally be anything, a sport, pets, health, weight-loss, handbags or clothing. The list really can be endless, but make your choice and go with it.

I recently set up a website in the weight-loss niche, this is partly because I enjoy writing about health related topics and also because there are a number of ways you can monetize the site by adding Clickbank products.

However, don’t be confined just by Clickbank, as today with the great affiliate programs run by Amazon and Ebay you can easily find products to monetize almost any site, from cars to baby clothes and everything in between. Overall though there are numerous ways of monetizing the site and you just have to find what works best for you.

To use Wordpress in a traditional website format head over to WP Remix and check out their great low cost CMS themes.

What is the easiest way to monetize your blog, which will also complement your traffic, and blend in seamlessly with the look and feel of your site?

The answer is RSS feeds from eBay, Amazon and Clickbank, which can be configured to exactly the types of items that your audience would be most interested in.

You can choose what types of ads to display based on keywords you’re targeting within your own niche market. You can use the feeds individually, altogether or in any combination.

Additionally, there are two feeds that are also keyword driven – Yahoo News and MS Live! These feeds add fresh, new content to your site that changes automatically so that spiders see continual change. All outbound links automatically use the “NoFollow” tag to avoid PR leakage as well!

If you’re getting traffic to your sites you need to convert them to sales – why not avoid the hassle and automatically offer up related products, news and links to keep their interest and make a few bucks as well?

The true beauty of RSS Gadgets is that this simple piece of software allows you to add all the feeds listed below to ALL of your websites and blogs!

· Amazon Feed
· ClickBank Feed
· Ebay Feed
· MSN Live Feed
· Yahoo Feed

The system is a simple configuration in Notepad and is fully automated, simply set and forget.

The true ease of RSS Gadgets is that it requires no further action from you once you’ve plugged it into your web pages! Because every ad is laser targeted, your visitors will already be interested in what’s being offered.

You will ABSOLUTELY Love how easy it is for you to take a web page, plug in RSS Gadgets and then let the products sell themselves!

Automatic. Passive. No Selling. A No Brainer!
