Tell your prospects that what you are selling them really is a secret. A lot of people think they already know what your product is about because they've bought so many similar ones in the past. Other people think there are no secrets left to find. You can convince them by mentioning things like:

you won't find this anywhere else

if you heard this somewhere else they must have swiped it from me

think you've seen this before?

if you knew what this was you would be jumping for joy

you won't find this anywhere else

your jaw will hit the floor when you read this

it's not what you think

you'll be shock you've never heard this before

almost everyone overlooks this

you won't even come close to guessing

The term “Linkbaiting” meets with mixed reaction among internet marketers. It refers to the practice of “baiting” viewers into linking back to your site from there site. You write something on your site that catches the interest of other website owners and bloggers, and they trackback to your site with comments about what you wrote.

The reason that linkbaiting is sometimes looked down on is that some marketers use somewhat controversial methods to get those links. While most of the methods are very legitimate, there are some that many feel cross the line, and are not appropriate to use.

There are several ways to get other site owners to link back to your site, many of which I?ve already discussed. The first is to provide useful information that is new, or a unique view of existing information.

The second way is to offer fresh, hot information. This is especially good if you are credited with breaking a story. When it works, this can generate a lot of traffic very quickly. The downside is, news stories have a very short life. The viral effect from a hot news story could be over within a day or two.

The third way is to use humor. People love jokes, cute or funny stories, and things that make you go, “hmm…” Everyone likes to be entertained. The trick is to get your message across, while being entertaining at the same time.

The fourth way to get links is to offer free tools or games that people can use from your site. Banks and insurance companies take advantage of this when they offer financial and loan calculators on their websites. While you are using the calculators, you are also being shown a message about other products and services that are offered. Even if you are not actively looking at the information, it is still planted in your brain, and builds brand recognition for the company.

The final method is the more controversial one. It relies on the power of controversy to get links. The way it works is for the site owner or blogger to take a contrary position on a popular subject, or to attack a popular person. Other blogs start to comment on what you said, either because they cannot believe you had the nerve to post it, or they are coming to the defense of the person who was attacked.

The reason this is seen as somewhat controversial is that often times it is less than honest. The person making the post may not really feel that way at all, they only take that position for the passion, and links, that taking a contrary position it evokes.

The bulk of your earnings, at first and possibly long-term, will come from affiliate marketing. Since you don’t have websites of your own to display salespages, host download pages, etc, you’ll start out by promoting other people’s products and services for a percentage of the selling price, much like a commissioned salesperson in the offline world.

Not only is it expedient, but it’s the fastest way to get started as well, as there’s no need to research & create a product, build the sales site or try to find affiliates yet – you can focus on attracting targeted prospects and forwarding them to existing offers. This is also a very valuable learning experience, as even once you have your own online empire you’ll still need to drive targeted traffic to your sites, blogs, salespages and list-building squeeze pages.

There are a variety of ways to find appropriate affiliate programs for you to promote. You can start by searching at the search engines, searching for your niche & affiliate program. For example, in this instance it would be ‘real estate affiliate program’ or ‘investing affiliate program’, etc.

Keep in mind that the more directly tied to your subject matter the product or service is, the better your chances of making sales, since it’s your subject matter in your posts that attracts the people to your blog in the first place. Since you’ve ‘pre-qualified’ their interests and know they’re interested in that topic, it only makes sense to show them products and services they’re likely to want and need.

One of the best places to look for related affiliate programs is ClickBank, a service that offers affiliate programs for all things digital. In other words, they run affiliate services for downloadable products, collect the payments, then split those payments between the merchant and the referring affiliate. ClickBank is so large, professional and proficient at this that they’ve now paid out over a BILLION dollars without ever missing or being late on a payment!

So to start off, let’s head over to ClickBank and see what they have available in the Real Estate niche…
