Before you can start making money with instant affiliate offers, you need to be able to drive targeted traffic through your affiliate links. There are many ways to do this, and this section focuses on FREE techniques, so that you are MAKING money – not spending it!

To start, you will want to develop enough content to power up a variety of promotional campaigns. Content is the #1 most important component of a successful affiliate campaign, because it warms up readers and pre-sells the products you are promoting.

The key to creating powerful article content is to keep it focused and relevant. You want the article to provide important information about the topic you are focusing on, while leaving the reader hungry for more.

Make sure that you weave targeted keywords throughout your content, including within the title of your article itself and in the first few paragraphs of your article.

That way, you are not only able to capture attention from targeted leads but you’ll also be able to make sure that your content is quickly indexed and ranked within the search engines based on your primary keywords.

One of the easiest ways of generating traffic to your website while building backlinks campaigns that will send unlimited traffic and boost your search engine ranking is through forum marketing.

Not only will you be able to claim your share of traffic but forums provide you with the opportunity to quickly build brand awareness, so that you are recognized as an authority in your market.

You will need to spend time providing quality information to the community, as well as helping members by addressing questions, offering guidance, and doing your best to contribute to the network, but it’s one of the easiest ways to jumpstart your website, absolutely free.

Allocate 1 hour a day to marketing your business via community forums, but make sure to promote INDIRECTLY! You want your website to be seen within your forum’s signature box, rather than in spamming your link within discussion threads or posts, otherwise you’ll lose your account and likely end up banned from the community.

You also want to focus only on active, established forums, keeping in mind that your posts will be quickly indexed, sending additional traffic to your website from the search engines directly.

There are a few important ingredients to creating high performance Article Marketing campaigns that maximize the overall effectiveness of your marketing efforts, while ensuring that you receive the most exposure possible from each article that you submit into the online directories.

First, writing an article on just any topic isn’t going to yield the results you’re looking for, if you haven’t first conducted keyword research to identify what your target audience is actively looking for, and the exact keywords and phrases they are using to be able to locate content on your topic.

This is fundamentally one of most critical elements of a successful article marketing campaign. The closer you are able to target your prospective customer base with well written articles that incorporate primary keywords, the more traffic and exposure you will be able to generate.

Think about the possibilities if you carefully evaluated a niche market, creating keyword swipe files of highly relevant terms and phrases and incorporated them into your content.

Not only will this help you position yourself within the search engines, but your visitors and readers will be exceptionally targeted!

Each article should be between 300 and 600 words in length and provide useful information that your target audience would find appealing.

The greater the number of articles in circulation, the more exposure you will receive, however you always want to focus on producing high quality content, rather than just on the quantity that is being distributed between these networks.

When it comes to writing tweets, don’t spend a lot of time worrying about whether it’s creative enough, witty enough, or interesting enough.

Once you have become an active member of the twitter community, you’ll find it easier to think of entertaining and useful tweets, and will also be able to respond to ongoing discussions from those you follow and who follow you.

For now, post whatever’s on your mind. Working on a website? Post about it. Perhaps you’ve found an interesting website or news story, post about it.

The idea is to simply post enough so that you become comfortable with the twitter system, and more importantly, so that your profile page shows activity before you start inviting people to follow you.

Once you’ve posted your first tweet, it’s time to start following people on twitter, so that you can build up your twitter presence, and encourage people to follow you in return. Don’t just sign up and blast out ads every few minutes expecting to achieve anything but annoying those on your list.

Take the time to talk to people individually by directing messages to specific people, post useful information or links to free products and resources that people in your various niche markets would appreciate.

Just like anything else you need to develop a reputation on Twitter as being someone who is interested in helping others, while developing your own Twitter presence.

A great thing about Twitter is the ability to quickly locate other people who are involved in your target market, or industry. For example, if you are looking to find people to interview who may be experienced in specific things, you can find many people who are involved in nearly every topic and subject online.

It’s like a rolodex of the entire online business industry, and as Twitter continues to grow, more and more people are jumping on board, so expect to see Twitter evolve and change to improve their system and add more interactive, productive features that will make it even easier for use to reach out to other users.

Posting subtle little updates about your current projects, websites, blogs and products is an easy way to keep people up to date on what you are doing, even people who otherwise might not know who you are, or what you do.

The way you present your updates, and the frequency in which you do it, (avoiding Twitter spamming) is critical in staying current and helping your brand become memorable, and noticed by the community.

Regardless how well you design your site, or how thoroughly you analyze each section of your squeeze page, there is no way that you will be able to accurately predict how well your visitors will respond to your offer, without comparatively testing alternative layouts.

One easy method of testing your pages and evaluating conversion rates is by using Google’s Website Optimizer, a free tool that will help you run simple split tests of any websites you own.

You will need to add a snippet of code to your squeeze page after creating your Google Analytics account. This code is given to you by Google and is available within your account once you have added and verified your website’s location.

Once this code is placed on your website, Google Analytics will start tracking your visitors and traffic. When split testing, start with only one element at a time.

For example, if you change the headline on your squeeze page, leave everything else in its original state until you determine whether tweaking your headline helps with conversion rates.

Once you have determined what headline works best, change another element of your squeeze page, such as the color scheme, opt-in box frame, or summary of your offer.

Always test the original against the variation and give it enough time to accurately determine whether your changes have increased your subscription rate before making any permanent changes.

If you find it difficult to create a squeeze page, one easy tactic is to study existing squeeze pages in your market, and then create yours so that it is modeled after successful pages.

One of the most profitable ways of making money from CPA is to create niche targeted websites. Earlier I touch briefly on creating blogs and targeting your blog to your CPA offers, I’m going to now focus on that in more detail.

As usual, my recommended script for creating these sites is Wordpress. Now before we proceed to setting up Wordpress and creating the site, we need to take a look at the inventory of the CPA companies. Log into your CPA networks and go through the offers available.

What you are doing is looking for offers that pay well, have good affiliate banners and images that you can use on your site, along with having a good landing page. For the sake of an example, let’s say that we decided we wanted to promote an offer that promotes weight loss.

We review the offers in the weight loss category, and we’ve decided that an “Acai Berry” product is the one we’ll select. In some networks you may have more than one “Acai Berry” product available, so we select the one with the best landing page and highest pay out that offers a free trial.

We have now selected a “niche” which is weight loss, and a product which is an “Acai Berry” product. It’s now time to dig deeper into what we’ll be talking about on the blog that we are about to setup. To find topics to discuss we need to do some keyword research.

Blogging is a very profitable opportunity if you work towards creating targeted blogs that are focused on hungry, niche markets. People who are anxious to solve a problem of find relief are always on the prowl for quality information and resources.

You can use resale rights and private label content to create quality blogs quickly and easily. All you need to do is purchase a few packages of quality private label articles and blog posts and integrate them into your Wordpress administration panel.

Then, continue adding more content to your blog on a regular basis, until you're able to deliver enough content to satisfy the majority of your market.

Once your blog is established, you can then begin monetizing it with a combination of funnels, including Adsense advertisements and affiliate products that match your market segment.

And best of all, you can automate your content updates with private label content by submitting content ahead of time, and setting it to auto-publish in the future.

You will almost certainly run into difficult clients from time to time. Unfortunately, they are a part of doing business.

Most clients will be pleasant to work with, but we’ve all run into a handful who are simply confused or overwhelmed by the whole process, are concerned over progress, or simply need a bit more guidance in order to fully understand what you are offering, and how you are helping them.

Remember as well that not everyone is going to see the work that went on behind the scenes.

If they have no experience developing online businesses, it’s likely that you will want to take your time in explaining the process, what you and your team have been doing, and why it’s an important part in the growth of their online exposure.

For the most part, you should try to work with clients to make sure they are happy every step of the way, and to do your part in being understanding by putting yourself in their position.

Remember, these people trust in you, they have agreed to let you manage an important part of their business; their online presence and you need to be sincere in communicating with them every step of the way.

Remember, clients who are very happy will potentially refer other clients to you in the future. This could mean a great deal of business.

If you have an existing mailing list, tell them about your new ebook first! Offer them the best deal possible – a special offer that no one else will be getting. Treat your own list the best and tell them that you are. Offer your customers an affiliate program so they can promote the product to others while they earn a commission.

If you don’t have your own list start sending out ‘joint venture’ offers to other businesses in your field. Offer them a nice-sized commission (at least 50%) and explain to them how they (as well as their customers) will benefit from the deal.

Send out at least one JV letter, per day! Joint ventures with other marketers and business owners can pull in amazing profits! They’re the best promoting tool available for writers and marketers -- especially online!

You can also use highly-targeted ezine ads to get customers. Here's a twist to this technique: instead of targeting customers, target affiliates who will help you sell the product! This strategy can grow your business very quickly!

If you don’t have an existing customer list here’s another strategy that can work well. Write short, focused articles and submit them to targeted ezines. Articles can be a great way to get viral advertising working for you.

There are hundreds of other strategies you can use. However, the ones listed above are some of the best and most effective. Always go for ‘quality’ traffic verses ‘quantity.’

One of the best ways to get leads on the Internet is by getting a product mention or a free link on another website. Effective online marketing is all about putting your product or service in front of potential customers at the exact time that they are looking for it. This technique is known as “pinpoint marketing”.

Pinpoint marketing is much different than advertising on radio or television, which are known as “interruptive marketing” techniques. Interruptive marketing costs a lot more than pinpoint marketing and is less effective for the simple reason that you’re attempting to put your product out there in front of everybody instead of pinpointing those potential customers who want to find out more about you and your business.

Pinpoint Marketing: Pinpoint marketing is the process of sending the right message at the right time so that it produces actual results. For example, if you’re at a ball game and are eating a bag of popcorn. Just when you take a handful of popcorn the Coca-Cola logo appears on the big screen.

The next you thing you know you’re looking for the first vendor who can sell you a can of Coke. However, if an advertisement for a new car appears on the big screen while you’re watching the game and eating popcorn, you’re less likely to be interested since it’s not something you’re looking for at that moment. Interruptive marketing isn’t really targeted because it’s not something that you are actively looking for. People who use the Internet are usually looking for a solution to a problem. When you put your product in front of them at the right time you’ve reached a potential customer.

Day-part Marketing: The placement and timing of ads on the Internet has become so important to online marketing that some companies, such as Yahoo!, are selling advertisements in “day-part”. Day-part is something that has always been done in television advertising. Day-part marketing works like this – specifying at which time of the day certain ads are viewed so that you can effectively target your customers.

Embedded Marketing Messages: These days, more people than ever are using the Internet to research a product before they buy. As well, most Internet users are becoming more serious about the amount of time that they spend online. Studies show that users are spending less time on the web and that the time they do spend surfing is focused and deliberate.

Many users bookmark their favorite websites so that they can access information fast and easily. When people want a solution to a certain problem, such as a health issue or taking a vacation, they often look online for the answers. This is why it’s important for you to put your product or service right in front of them whenever you can.

Get your Content to Other Websites: Another way that you can build credibility online is to swap content. If you can position an article that includes a link to your website on another website that is at the top of the field of your industry you increase your chances of credibility. This then increases your sales potential. But just how do you get web editors to take any notice of your company?
