Two Simple Marketing Techniques to Make Money Online

Two Simple Marketing Techniques to Make Money Online - The first technique to make money online is building a list.   

This techique is the most important step to make money long term. If you do not already have some type of autoreponder system you need to get one.
Initially you can do this for free but at some stage it will be beneficial to upgrade, Mad Mimi is an easy to use autoresponder to start with.

 You can build your list many different ways. You can buy leads from reputable list building companies and get them into your autoresponder. Most good list building companies will have an option to send an email to your autoresponder so you don’t have to manually input the lead’s information. 

 Another effective way of building your list is from the traffic that visits your website. This step, which is probably the most effective, does require you to have a website in order to implement an opt-in list form. Of course if your Affiliate program does offer a list management service then you can send traffic to the affiliate URL, but I don’t recommend it as you will usually not be able to email the entire list with special offers.  

To make the most of your opt-in form and get the most signups, you should place it in your sales page text. It should be strategically located in the sales text after you present a problem. The title of your autoresponder email series should address the problem by offering a solution. In the example below we will assume that I am selling a hosting package and I want to opt-in subscribers to my email course for back-end sales.  

Example: You can use the pre-built websites or build your own. Many people think that building a website is hard, but I can show you how easy it really is.

The second technique to make money online is driving traffic to your website.

When I say traffic, I don’t just mean any old traffic, I mean targeted traffic, people who are motivated and ready to buy can and will make you money. You can use programs and techniques such as Google Adwords, blogging, article writing and linking to drive targeted traffic to your website. Google Adwords is a resource offered by Google in which you can pay for your site to be shown when certain keywords are queried in their search engine. 

The secret to using Adwords is not to bid high on popular keywords. Instead, what you do is find similar keywords that still describe your website, but are used much less frequent. These keywords will cost much less to bid on and will allow you to spread your money out over many different keywords, getting the most bang for your buck.

Blogging is another great way to drive targeted traffic to your website. To get the most out of this technique the blog should be hosted on the same website as the sales page which links to your affiliate program. Once its setup all you have to do is fill your blog with good quality content.  

I recommend writing your own content which specifically relates to your affiliate program and or products. Once you have some content you will need to submit your RSS feed to Feedburner

Article writing is basically the same as blogging except the information in an article will need to have more useful content. For example explain how to do something? or talk about the benefits of using this program or that software.
Giving help and advice is the easiest way of engaging your readers and will encourage them to find out more.

Research is paramount to any blogger because if you have limited knowledge of a certain topic then using Google to search for addtional information can help you create your article. 

The process has changed with building backlinks to your website, originally you could just post comments to multiple different sites in order to gain backlinks to your main site. This technique no longer works in the same way because it is now deemed as trying to game the system. You are far better off writing quality content and posting this on your websites/blogs. Then use social media platforms to share what you have written.
   The strategies listed in this article do work and they will increase your sales and residuals if done correctly.
Blogging and Article writing are great ways to bring massive amounts of high quality targeted traffic to your website. These strategies combined with an effective sales page with an integrated opt-in email list can make your business soar to new heights.
You can and will make money with this system, Guaranteed!
