Fire Sale Contributions

A Great Source for Paid Leads

What better way to get highly targeted traffic other than being a contributor for a fire sale!

If you don’t know what a fire sale is, it is a special type of sale with three important characteristics:

• Time limited (only last for a couple of days)
• Rock bottom pricing (but full of value)
• And it all comes with a theme

 So what does that got to do with getting paid leads?

The nature of Fire Sales requires the merchant to sell tons of valuable products for a rock bottom price. Therefore, they would want to provide as much value for the prospects as possible in order to guarantee a sale.

In order to maximize the value, the merchant either:

·         Sources for products on his own

·   Or he can do it the easy way by asking contributors to add their own products to the fire sale!

If you know about a fire sale going on, what you can do is to ASK the merchant if you can add your own product as a bonus. Normally, they will allow the buyers to download YOUR product by directing them to YOUR landing page!

This is pulled off within a limited time frame so the scarcity factor involved. Paid leads are also very valuable because they are highly targeted traffic. The fact that they are willing to pay money to buy Internet marketing products shows that they are serious about making money online.

 No Hard Selling Required!

One of the best things about being a contributor for fire sales is the fact that you do not need to exert additional effort in collecting paid leads.

Firstly, because people are already pre-SOLD on the idea that your product is of value and they will gladly opt-in to download your product.

You don’t need to do a lot of ‘convincing’ either on your landing page or lead-capture form. All you need to do is write a simple, “Download here, exclusively for the subscribers of the Fire Sale!” and it will suffice!

Furthermore, there is always a theme involved with every Fire Sale. A good theme ensures that the subscribers are all willing to help you out and buy your product (if they are not sold on the idea of the product’s value, at the very least, they will support your REASON for holding the fire sale and buy from you).

For example:

There was one highly successful Fire Sale executed during the year of 2007 called Send Us To U.S.

The theme was to send 3 desperate guys from Malaysia to the U.S. by funding their trip through the fire sale.

This garnered a lot of support all around the Internet community and people everywhere are contributing products and buying their package – the traffic they got is huge and if you happened to be a contributor to their fire sale, imagine the number of people downloading your product by opting in at your landing page!

Viral Marketing Fever!

Why Viral Marketing Is Extremely Powerful

Ever had Chicken Pox? It all starts from one member of the family getting infected by a friend or a relative. He brings the virus home and pretty soon the entire family gets hit by chicken pox… but not before the ‘carrier’ passes it to another friend’s family!

This is what viral marketing is like – when you have the necessary tools to drive traffic to your website, your profits will be unstoppable!

Here are a few key components you will need to accomplish this feat:

• Advertisements placed in strategic locations (e.g. at the back of viral E-books)

• E-products with resell rights (any form that allows the product to be easily passed to another – master resell rights, unrestricted PLR rights, rebranding rights or giveaway rights)

• A viral software to refer your friends (e.g. Viral Friend Generator)

 Finding The Right ‘Carrier’

If you want to kick start your viral marketing campaign you will need to find a suitable ‘carrier’ for your ‘viruses’.

By having the right carrier, you will be able to launch your campaign as swiftly as possible because it will take a while before the viral effect starts to kick in.

A suitable carrier would be an E-product that will easily fall into the hands of many readers automatically and it must have a targeted audience (related to that particular niche) who will find your ad useful.

However, you must choose the right kind of carrier. This carrier must either have a lot of credibility or an attraction factor that will appeal to the target audience or the resellers (other carriers).

An example of an effective carrier is that the E-product must have an appealing E-cover that will capture the attention of your prospects.

You must give them a reason to do the viral marketing work for you without you doing it yourself. The key is to set it up correctly the first time (choosing the best product to place your ad, writing a compelling advertisement and choosing the best placements).

Then, when your campaign launches, you won’t need to do anything more other than watch the traffic flow in!

Spreading The Love

Now that you have found your ‘carrier’, 95% of the work will be done by your ‘sales force’ while you sit back and watch them spread the love.

They will promote the carriers for their own profit or benefit, while your ads and your links are sitting cozily in their books.

Here are a few examples of how the viral effect works out in the form of your E-products:

• Unrestricted PLR E-books or special reports. The easier it is for people to get their hands on your book, the better the traffic! Do not worry about people altering your ads – people are usually too lazy to alter the book. They will promote your links for you! The most appealing thing about unrestricted PLR is that people can SELL the PLR rights to others making it highly valuable!

• E-books or special reports with Master resell rights. The same applies as unrestricted PLR. Resellers can resell your books, bundle your books together as a package or into a fire sale or offer them as a bonus. You can watch as your books (and your links) fall into the hands of readers all over the world!

• Products with giveaway rights. If you have excellent content, people are more than willing to give away your book to others and the virus spreads. Although it carries less perceived value compared to a ‘paid’ product, nevertheless, it still has it usefulness if your content is good.

You can create as many viral campaigns as you can for your website. Once they are all setup, all you need to do is tweak your sales pages or landing pages to maximize your profits.

Article Marketing

Article marketing is an online advertising strategy used by many businesses to market their websites, products or services by writing short articles that are related to their industry. It is the practice of posting these keyword-focused writings on article syndication sites that have a good readership following. These articles will then be distributed and published in the marketplace. 

Many opine that article marketing is an essential element in any internet marketing strategy. These articles have the intention of providing information and entertainment to online users. Typically these articles have a resource box or bio box that indicates the references and contact information of the writer's business. 

The resource box may also contain a link back to the website that the author is promoting in order to attract the readers to visit that website.  

Articles that are well-researched and written are usually released and distributed for free in order for the business to gain more credibility within the market. 

Through these articles, a website or online business will be able to attract more new clients. Internet marketers usually submit the articles to several article directories in order to maximize the results of their online campaign. 

In order to avoid the filtering process of the internet for duplicate content, internet marketers attempt what we call article spinning or article rewriting and rewording to give certain variations to the original article. Through this, the article can acquire site visitors coming from several websites for article directories. 

Getting your article to be featured in niche blogs or focused content websites that are managed by others is a good and popular strategy in terms of article marketing. If you are a guest blogger on these websites, you will be able to introduce your business to an interested audience that may have been otherwise unreachable. 

The common practice in internet publishing is to have your articles use relevant keywords and catchy titles with around 250 to 500 words in the body. If you incorporate the keywords or keyword phrases in your articles, it is possible to get more search engine traffic. 

Which, among the hundreds of article directories, should you submit your articles to? This is actually one of the most tedious tasks in this marketing method. Today, businesses and experts usually outsource their article marketing methods including the submission process. The most popular article directories that are recommended include EzineArticles, IdeaMarketers and GoArticles. 


Article marketing can also help you generate leads that you can include in your email list. In writing your articles, you must give the readers an offer so irresistible that it will prompt them to visit your website and sign up for your services. Once you have their information, you can start creating a sales-winning partnership with them. Failing to do this will not give you another chance to sell to your leads.  

Among the best offers you can give your readers may include quizzes, special reports on a certain topic, free consultation sessions or free book chapters. This way, your readers will be enticed to provide you with their e-mail addresses that you can use to further send marketing news and information about your website. 

Overall, the most important factor in article marketing is to get people to visit your website and sign up or purchase one of your services. Writing articles that are accurate, specific and helpful will attract more potential leads or clients. 

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is basically the process of marketing your business through social media portals such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. This allows for businesses to have a more personal and dynamic interaction and connection with their clients and potential customers.  

Strategies in social media marketing can be as simple as maintaining a blog, a Facebook or Twitter account or attaching “tweet this” icons to the end of your articles or ads. It can also be as complex as having a full campaign that includes blogging, social networking, tweeting and spreading viral videos. 

As marketing is the process of informing consumers what your business is, who you are and what your products are, social media further helps in introducing your business to a global network of possible customers. 

The use of social media to prove a business' identity and to create business relationships with people who do not have the chance be aware of your products and services is a highly recommended option in internet marketing. 

Moreover, it is an avenue that can be accessed by anyone who has an internet connection and is an inexpensive way to implement your marketing strategies and business campaigns. 

Mobile Marketing

Mobile marketing has been a concept that has attained various definitions. It is primarily described to be the marketing strategy that makes use of mobile media to communicate with a target market. 

Recently a more updated definition was given by the Mobile Marketing Association, saying that mobile marketing is actually a combination of practices that gives organizations the ability to engage, communicate and interact with their audience through a mobile device or network. 

The most popular mobile device used for this is a cell-phone. To use this medium, you will need to set up a short code and have your customers register to receive your SMS or text messages. Mobile optimization will also make sure that your website is displayed correctly on a mobile phone browser. 

Search engine optimization has undergone many changes that made internet marketers become more interested in the mobile version of their optimized websites compared to the traditional website optimization. Most mobile phones today have internet access or wireless capabilities. 

These devices have provided more flexibility on both the  business' and consumer's ends in terms of receiving and sending data related to the products or services which a company offers. 

The most typical types of mobile marketing include the use of MMS or Multimedia Messaging Service, Bluetooth technology, Infrared and Mobile Internet. Marketing through a mobile device is now a trend in many developed countries where almost everyone has a mobile phone. 

This is also a more cost-effective method of promoting your  
business and is much easier for most age groups to understand. More time is now spent online with the use of these devices, making your business available to consumers who are always on the go and would still want to receive updates from your end. 

In MMS mobile marketing, a slideshow of text and images that may include a video or audio is a perfect way to capture a potential customer's attention effectively. 

The ad is delivered via MMS. The use of Bluetooth technology in marketing makes use of radio based frequencies to transfer data on higher speeds. Infrared, on the other hand, is a bit limited, as its frequency range only reaches as far as 1 meter.  

Mobile marketing is a new way to ensure customer awareness and boost your sales. With all the new smart phones, tablets and modern mobile devices, mobile marketing is definitely destined to progress in the years to come.
