Make Online Income

Archive for February, 2010

If you’re a “newbie” or newcomer to internet marketing, you may not have heard about Clickbank. Clickbank is a company where you can become an “affiliate” and promote over 10,000 products that other people have created. You can also create your own product and promote it through Clickbank. These products are usually “ebooks” or electronic books, videos and audios that you can download or access instantly through your computer. This type of commerce is enormous these days, and practically everyone who is trying to make money online is interested in using Clickbank. There are other “affiliate marketing” websites, but Clickbank is one of the most popular.

How Clickbank Works

It is easy to sign up for a Clickbank account, but the rest of it can be a little tricky. When you go to http://Clickbank.com, you will see many products in just about any category, most of these being ebooks, videos or audios. You can either do a search for a product in a specific category, or you can just look at the lists, which include the most popular and new products as well. Some of these products sell amazingly well and have made both the owners and the affiliates a lot of money.

In order to promote a product as an affiliate, you will need to create your affiliate ID link, and then you will have to figure out how to bring traffic to your site. In this day and age, the traffic part of it can be somewhat difficult and can require a learning curve. There are also some really great products – offered through Clickbank as well – that can help you learn the ins and outs of affiliate marketing, using Clickbank. Some of these teach the basics, and some are more advanced. Most of these products do both, so that you can keep referring to them later, as you learn.

If you are interested in making money online, you will probably want to head to Clickbank and learn as much as you can about it. In researching internet marketing and online money-making techniques, you will likely come across Clickbank and other affiliate-marketing companies over and over again. It’s a great idea to start there, not wasting your time or money trying to reinvent the wheel. You may also find out the hard way that it is no longer a simple matter of cutting and pasting your affiliate links to the products you find on Clickbank into forums or emailing them to safelists or some other traffic-generating method. That’s one reason why you may want to follow up on your interest in Clickbank to find out what the “superaffiliates” are doing today.

And if you are not a newbie but an intermediate marketer who is interested in mastering Clickbank, you too can learn a lot from some of these new “Dominating Clickbank” products. One video series could be like going to “Clickbank U” for a whole lot less than that would cost!

With the current state of our economy more and more people are looking for an alternate source of income. I should know, I’m one of them. That’s right I lost my job of twelve years because of the current recession. Like so many other people I turned to the internet and searched Google.com for “Work at Home Businesses.”  I was amazed at all of the Make Money at Home Programs that I discovered. Next came the painful truth, yes there are a lot of money making opportunities that can be found on the internet but Buyer Beware!

90% of them are nothing but scams, … I learned this the hard way. After trying numerous work at home e-courses and losing most of my “emergency money” it became obvious to me that there is no such thing as a “Get Rich Overnight” internet business. If any of these internet guru’s are promising you thousands of dollars overnight  I would look else where. A person needs to be careful and research any online business that they may be considering. In my quest for a legitimate Work at Home business, I have researched and even tried quite a few different programs. Of these programs, some were better than others and some were just  plain scams.

One of the Work at Home programs that I see a lot of people asking about is My Online Income System (MOIS) by Kimberley Hoffman. People want to know if it is a scam or a legitimate way to make money at home. As it turns out, I am currently using MOIS to provide one of my income streams. Who better to review a product than someone using it right?  So, I will review my experience with MOIS and tell you what it is, how it makes money and what the “pros” and “cons” of the program are.

What is My Online Income System?

MOIS is a “Work at Home” program that was developed by Kimberley Hoffman. This E-course is based on the Affiliate Marketing business model and teaches the basics of how to make money online using affiliate marketing. Kimberley has designed her program for people who are totally new to the affiliate marketing concept. Her work at home program takes new members by the hand and shows them step-by-step how to develop their own internet based business. Her course uses a daily action plan that makes learning fast and easy.

The Birth of My Online Income System…

Like many other hard working Americans, Kimberley was living paycheck to paycheck, barely making enough money to live a decent life. After her husband left her, she was stuck paying all the rent, a car payment and would have to leave her son Ryan with a neighbor while she worked 50 hours a week as a waitress at Outback Steakhouse. It didn’t matter how many hours she worked, she was simply trading time for money.

That’s when she turned to Google and started looking for alternate ways to make more money…

Like thousands of other people, she went to Google.com and typed “work at home opportunity” into the search box and found hundreds of websites claiming she could easily make $500-$1000 a day from home. She started buying into those programs and within two months had spent over $4,000 on courses, ebooks, and seminars that got her no where! Kimberley was desperate but knew there were people making money on the internet, she just didn’t know how. She decided to go to one of the Work at Home Forums to share her story and warn other people about all of the scams that she got involved with and hopefully someone there could point her in the right direction. At the very least maybe she could help other people avoid the same scams she fell for.

After posting numerous comments on this forum, someone finally contacted her and offered to teach her how to make money online. This person took her by the hand and showed her step-by step how to make money online with affiliate marketing. By following the advise of her new friend she was able to quit her job as a waitress after one month. After only two months her new business was running itself, and she was able to spend all the time in the world with her son. Kimberley wanted to share this information and help others so she developed her My Online Income System.

How Does It Make Money?

My Online Income System, like a vast majority of Work at Home Businesses, uses the Affiliate Marketing business model to generate substantial income. Affiliate Marketing is where companies, or individuals, market another companies products or services for a commission fee per item sold. An Affiliate would be the company or individual in the above definition. In laymen terms an affiliate is essentially a hidden middle man that refers buyers to products on the internet that receives a commission on those sales.

As an affiliate you would select from thousands of products being sold on the internet and market that product to produce sells. The more traffic you send to the “Sellers” website, or your own website for that matter, the more money you can make. Don’t be mistaken, this can take a lot of work and devotion if you want it to succeed. Once your business has been setup it will generate cash on auto-mode 24/7 even while you sleep.

What are the “Pros”?

What I liked the most about Kimberley Hoffman’s My Online Income System is that she teaches and encourages members to use free advertising methods and tools. Most of the work at home programs that I have reviewed have lots of hidden costs. Here are some other features I like about MOIS…

• Step by Step Daily Action Plan that makes learning easy
• Teaches the basics of Affiliate Marketing for beginners
• Tons of resources
• 24/7 Support with forums
• Free website so you can start making money immediately
• Provides five custom designed websites for multiple income streams
• 60 day Money Back Guarantee

What are the “Cons”?

What I did not like the most about Kimberley Hoffman’s My Online Income System is that the free website that you get with the course is limited to selling only their product. My first impression was that this was just a pyramid advertising scheme but I later realized that was not the case. Here are some other things that I did not like about MOIS…

• There is no telephone support available
• The instructions for setting up your domain were vague
• There are some hidden costs
• You can not edit the descriptions on preselected products without recreating them

Your work at home based Internet business relies heavily on your Web marketing to bring in new customers. To make this tactic work you must know how to write great sales copy for your site. Here are some ideas on just how to do that.

The first tip for keeping consumers on your site and inducing them to buy your product or service is to create headlines that get their attention. Of course, it has to be followed by material that keeps their attention, but we’ll get to that later.

Don’t be weak, but don’t be hyperbolic. If you’re weak you’re boring and not very convincing. If you use hyperbole you won’t be believed or trusted – the kiss of death for a work at home based internet business. What we mean by weak is, ‘Welcome to my site. I think you’re going to like what you see here.’ Well, if you’re not sure, they sure won’t be. Hyperbole is, “You’ll be glad you found the only site you’ll ever need again.” Yeah, right. Bye.

There are two things you must focus on when you create your site headlines. People want help and information, and they want it fast. Get right to the point. If you’re offering legal services for DUI citations you might start off by saying, “We can help You Save Your Job, Your License, Your Freedom and Your Reputation.” See how that works? You haven’t promised you will, because of course you can’t. But you’ve gotten right to the heart of why they are seeking you out, told them emphatically that you can help them, and did it in a dramatic and attention-getting way.

A work at home based Internet business must know its target audience and hone in on that segment of Web users. You can’t be everything to everyone, nor can your copy convincingly claim that. You must know what you are going to offer and to whom you are going to offer it and then focus your sales copy and your advertising campaign to bring those folks to your site. The best way to learn about who your audience is may have to be to get a small audience to your site and then see who they are and where they go. Your Web host can provide the details of the server logs from which you will learn which pages are the most popular, not only because they are visited most often but because users stay on them the longest. They can also tell you the days and times of day most people come to your site as well as the point at which (the page) they leave your site.

From this you’ll know your age, gender, and other demographics of your niche (if you’ve been smart and required or encouraged free registration) and what pages need rewrite and redesign to keep folks from leaving at that point.

The other important sales tactics for your work at home based Internet business are to establish business credibility with clear contact information, clear biographies of all key players in the business, and business testimonials. You want to focus not only on the features of your products and services but their benefits as well. Tell your potential customers what you can do for them. Don’t forget, as many do, to ask for that sale – over and over again.

Generating sales leads is a key aspect of any business. This article explains how you can use the services of a promotional products company to help you to generate sales leads.

The first thing to remember is that you want to have your brand and contact details in the front of your customer’s mind at the point where he or she is considering a purchase relevant to you. There are many promotional products that are great for this. Examples are desktop promotional products such as calendars, calculators, memo pads, mugs and pens.

It is important to ensure that your logo is clearly visible on these items. You can choose from single print colours to multiple print colours. In most cases a good accurate reproduction of your logo is achievable, along with the most important part, your contact phone number.

Some promotional items are best delivered by post, examples are air toys (foam toys that are great for flinging around the office) and small foldable frisbees. Fridge magnets and pens also work well in a mailout.

Conferences and exhibitions are a favourite place to plant branded lead generators (i.e. promotional products) with key customers. Slightly larger objects can be distributed this way such as promotional calendars and memo pads, or umbrellas. If the client has kids then any number of toys like the elastic cube and kites are very popular.

Talk to a promotional products company about your needs. Talking (i.e. not just emailing) is important. Many promotional products companies went over to fully ecommerce enabled websites two or three years ago. Cutting the human contact out of the loop was a bad idea for these companies. The process of branding products with your logo requires skill and experience and quite often a proof of concept initial sample. For this reason, many promotional products companies have removed their ecommerce enabled websites and have returned to the good old fashioned telephone.

There are many http://www.amtmarketing.com/promotional-products-home.html promotional products  companies. It is best to choose a company that has been in business for quite a number of years. That way you know that they have had to provide a consistently high level of service to survive this very competitive market space.

Costs can be very low. The cheapest items like pens and sweets can be a few pence each. The most luxurious items like a Christmas hamper are more expensive. Though if you are entertaining the executive administering the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, then maybe a champagne hamper is not too big an investment.

Delivery times vary with the product. Bear in mind that it takes a few days to personalize the products with the logo and contact details. However, a few days from picking up the phone to receiving the promotional products can be achieved.
