What Is A Niche!

 Simply, it’s a consumer need in the marketplace that your product fulfills. A niche is what you offer to your subscribers.

How To Search For A Niche 

Pick a niche (product) and start to research if it’s what lot of people are searching online. Whether you want to go with Clickbank products or with other affiliate products, you will need to do your research.

Finding a profitable niche is your very first step. when starting in affiliate marketing. You want to choose a product that is Hot! If you find a product that isn’t very hot, you will not be able to make lot of money.  Try to choose a product which you are interested in because this will help you in the future as you will not get bored with selling it. A product should be hot and it should be marketed well.  Meaning the sale page should be good and presented in a professional manner and should have good tools for its affiliates to use to make sales.  

To find out what are people looking For The Best Place To Look At are:

ClickBank.com ( I gave you lot of info in last post).

Amazon Best Sellers – Amazon.com

 Pulse.ebay.com

 Terapeak.com

Amazon.com Bestsellers

It is easy to find what's hot and what is not on Amazon site.  It is a clear indicator of what the buying market is looking for, making it very easy for you to put yourself in the path of oncoming web traffic and make sales.

If you sign up with Amazon’s affiliate program, you can sell all of the products on the site, and with the Bestsellers section, you will know for sure that certain products are selling. They even give you a Top 10 list for each category so that you can use that to make articles, reviews and blog posts.

EBay Pulse tool: http://pulse.eBay.com

This is another great place to find out what the hot products are because if a person is searching in eBay that means they are looking in Google and Amazon as well. Ebay Pulse gives you a real-time look at what people are looking to buy.

You can log into eBay and do a search on the completed items. It will tell you what people are selling, how many have sold and the average price. Best way is look for items with bids, because this is a great way to get an idea of what people are looking for.

Terapeak is another great way to search.

Go to Hot Research, it is very similar to eBay pulse. It will give you a listing of what’s hot on eBay. You can then drill down that will give you an idea of some of the different auctions that are going on. If there are bids, this is a good item to become an affiliate for.

Hot Research > 

Search for product with average price above $30.00, with a good commission rate of no less than 40%, the higher the better. In the beginning  don’t go for the very high end products that are priced above $125 dollars.

Basic things to be successful at affiliate marketing:

It takes some basic things to be successful at affiliate marketing:

The most important thing is to STAY FOCUSED.

Pick a niche, try to pick a product which you got some interest in. This will help you to stay focused. Once you have picked a product then go ahead and START.

Read these posts and follow the STEPS.

Make a schedule which you can stick with 

STICK TO THE SCHEDULE.

Start small and apply what you learn as you go. 

APPLY.

Stick with small level when you are learning, this will help you stop you from becoming 

OVERPOWERED. 

Once you have basics under control then start to 

SCALE UP.

As you start taking the step you will start to make some money. Stop I mean avoid the multi-tab DISTRACTIONS.  As we all know nowadays you can open so many websites at one time which in the beginning is bad idea. 

 For Example: If you made a plan (which will be covered later) to answer your emails between certain time then avoid reading them before that time. Tell yourself they will still be their when I check them at set time. 

Change the way you think about money.

 Since you are reading these posts.  I will assume that you are interested in making more money to fulfill your dreams. But before you can start thinking of picking an affiliate program to join, you will need start thinking differently.

The first thing you've to do is start thinking that you have the ability to earn lots of money and change your and your family life. In other words you really have to start feeling that you and your family  deserve the wealth you have always dream about. You have got every right to be wealthy. This concept seems simple, but lot of us don't feel that we deserve money to make our lives easy. 

If you don't change this will affect your activities.  Instead of coming home from work and taking action on your plan you will come home and sit in front of television or start doing other things and time will pass and you have lost your chance of becoming successful.

If you are one of those people who feel like they should be able to make lots of money online will naturally make a lot of money online. This is not some sort of spiritual nonsense, although I feel that spirituality is a part of everyone’s journey. 

However, that is not what mean, when I say people can make lots of money. The most important thing to remember is that if you feel like you deserve lots of money, you will take the actions to make that happen.

Basics of Affiliate Marketing

People have all kinds of products and services that they want to sell online. The way they can be successful is by having large amount of traffic to their website. The way they can accomplish this is by having salesman or affiliate to promote their products.

When someone from your traffic buy their product you get a commission what ever is full price. Most of the vendor will pay 50% to 75% commission to their affiliates.Once you are Successful affiliate you can earn good amount of money.

Clickbank is an affiliate network where there are whole bunch of vendors and affiliates all working under the umbrella organization called Clickbank.

Through Clickbank, lot of products and services are bought and sold, everyday. Before I go any further, let’s look at what you can potentially earn from one product.

 If  you promote and sell top selling product which pays 50% commission and will pay monthly for life. Just for example: you sell a product which is sold at $197, by selling just one you will be earning $97 for life. It sounds like a pretty exciting right? (Please note not all product are sold at this price & you can't start selling high ticket product straightway).

 So, that means that for every person who signs up through your affiliate link (which will be explained in a minute), you will be paid each month till that person continue to stay with the vendor.

Imagine if with that one product 100 people from your link buy the product and continue to stay how much you can earn with just one product.  I hope you are beginning to see how lucrative affiliate marketing can be?

Conclusion

Conclusion

We have covered the fundamentals of good copy and explained how important spelling, grammar, punctuation and formatting are.  The most important aspect to keep in mind is grabbing the visitor's attention, keeping that attention and getting them to take the action that you'd like.

This action might be a sale, a download, or an inquiry, but to be able to provoke this action with your copy will be very gratifying for you.

Some key areas to focus on to produce good web copy are:

1.     Knowing what your visitors want

2.     Creating a USP that makes your readers choose you, over anyone else

3.     Choose good keywords and incorporate them into your site structure and copy.  Be aware of the search engines.

4.     Make your copy easy to understand with good formatting

5.     Write killer headlines and subheads

6.     Learn to write sales inducing bullet points

7.     Infuse your copy with power words and power transitions

Other points to think about are keeping lengthy details about the business and it's history to a minimum, unless it benefits the visitor in anyway.  They are only interested in how you, or your product can help them, so this need to be the focus of your copy.  Your web pages are written for your visitors, not you – remember this at all times.

All pages on your site are important, but the home page is the one that many people will find first, so you must take extra care in producing this page.

Because of the search engines and getting found for your chosen keywords are important to web copy, you need to make sure that each page on your website is focused on a particular keyword.  This is so that your site gets more chances of being found, when a particular keyword or phrase is typed into the search engines.

A good way to increase the numbers of visitors to your site is to keep adding new content, so make it a priority to add new pages to your site on a regular basis.  This will be beneficial to you on the following ways:

1. Adding new content to your site gives a reason to new visitors and subscribers
to come back to your site.  More visitors will also help your search engine
rankings.

2.   Every page that you add is likely to be indexed by Google and all the other
search engines and listed on their results pages.  This is why it is so important to
pick good keywords and phrases and optimize your pages, with these words.
Keyword research should also be an ongoing task, so your site is listed for as
many of them as possible.

3.    If you update your site two or three times a week, the search engines will sit
up and take notice, resulting in them inspiring your site more often.

So all in all, adding fresh content to your site adds additional value and increases the amount of traffic from the search engines, your site will receive.

Including fresh content to your site not only adds value, but also increases the amount of search traffic that it will receive.

If you take all this advice into account, you will be able to produce some awe inspiring web copy to achieve your goals.

Thanks for reading.

The Copy Secrets They Don't Want to Know

Additional Tips

Here are some additional tips, that should help you on the way to create excellent web copy.

·        A good place to start is to look at other successful websites in your own niche to see how they use their copy.  Take notes, but don't copy them exactly, but by studying other successful websites, you should get some great ideas for what to include in your own copy.  A master copywriter to study is Gary Hilbert, he gives his copy writing tips away for free here: 

http://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/newsletter-archives.htm

·        You can use niche forums and niche search engines to find out the kind of problems that people have in your niche, so that both your product and copy can give solutions to these problems.

·        This is a recent tip that I've picked up.  Apparently you can sneakily add in words that end in “ly” into your copy.  These words hypnotically influence your readers.  These words slip easily into the reader's mind under the radar.  This paragraph here shows you how clearly these words work powerfully to influence the reader.  Using these “ly” words makes your copy instantly more hypnotic.

·        Injecting empathy into your copy and really understanding what your visitors want is an important key to successful copy.   Your readers need to feel you understand.  You do this by entering their world and building a rapport with them.  Write like you are experiencing what the reader is feeling, go into detail about pain, the search for the solution and the gratification in finding the solution.

·        Try to get your visitor's email addresses by offering something free and of value to them. By getting their email address, you can market to these people through emails and use all these wonderful copy tips to create emails to sell your wares.

·        Lastly, you need to have the right attitude in your copy.  You have to ooze positivist from the beginning to the end and keep the reader's attention.  Ideally you want good copy all the way through, but especially at the beginning and the end.  Think of your copy as a show, or performance that you are presenting.

Power Transitions to Keep Your Visitor Reading

Power Transitions

Power transitions will help you keep the reader's attention, all the way through to the order form.  They are very simple to use.

Headlines are not meant to sell the product, but to get the visitor to read the first paragraph.  To keep the visitor reading, you can use sub headings, which is why good copy uses sub heads, but there is another way to keep visitors reading and that is by using power transitions.

Power transitions are like paragraph headlines, as is it the first sentence of each paragraph that sells the visitor to carry on reading, instead of skimming, or even worse leaving never to come back.

Below is a power transition swipe file, so you can use them to encourage people to keep reading.  Don't use them on every paragraph, but sparingly every 2 or 3 paragraphs to get those visitors reading to the end of your copy.
