I was setting up a campaign 3rd Oct 2012 when this came to mind…

In Affiliate IM business, time is money from 10pm singapore time all the way to 12 pm the next day.

If the lines are not cast and set, we just lost the chance to earn $1000 during that 14 hr window.

Plus-In this business, top affiliates test ideas fast, test often, and do a realistic $100,000 – 200,000 in 1 year.

Its been a roller coaster ride of Downs and Ups…

The Downs - google slaps, adcenter bans, advertisers not paying, confidential market data and expertise "ninjaed" by ex-associates

When securing an "income from home", we need to have a short term and a long term income goal in place.

• Short term goals allow you to sustain for at least a year. The income one should expect from a short term goal should be in the $xxx,xxx range for the 1st year. This income won't last forever. Things move really fast on the internet. Back in the day, it wasn't too hard to just slap some traffic with an offer and become a millionaire in a year or less. Those that aimed really high, still have incomes to this day. There're also those who have gone back to day jobs after the easy money dried up and changes in compliance by the main stream traffic providers.

• Having a long term goal, means planning a year in advance what you intend to achieve. However, you can't have any long term goals without securing the immediate future. They both go hand in hand. Having a long term goal, 2-3 years into the future will set you up comfortable with the car you dreamed of and the home you've always wanted.

• When making $500 a day profit, that comes to $15,000 a month. That's pretty decent money. However, rather then go all out to spend it, re-invest that money back into new ventures. If that means living on $1500 a month, with no car.. so be it. Save the cash and live like a pauper even though you know your bank account is flushed with cash. In a tight economy, cash is king. When property goes south, you'll be glad to have saved that internet monies and have the ability to invest in valued low priced assets where rent is at least 0.4% of the purchase price.

• Once you have found success, contribute some of that success to other successful people. Leveraging on others strengths, research, networks, partnerships, you hedge the risk of failure. However, to get into the club of successful people, you need to have something to bring to the table. Short term success allows a foot into that door.

• Build out your business. As a marketer there're so many ways to diversify. This can range from learning about multiple traffic sources, to branching out into physical products of your own. The permutations are endless. The best part is, as a Professional Marketer, the ball is always in your court because Marketers are the ones that bring in the $$$$.

1. Here's how website marketing looks like from my view, when I start.

We 1st start out testing 4 websites.

You'll find that there out of 4 sites, there will one particular niche that you do well in.

Do well means you may not be the best, but you do well because…

• not many competing products

• in a country where people have ability to buy online

• in  country where the language is a barrier for your current competition who thus cannot advertise in your country or find it hard to.

1. CPA networks are cost per action networks. You drive them traffic and they pay you for each successful action taken by the prospect you send.

Niches they are in revolve around Insurance, BizOps, Debt Leads and more.

CPA networks often try to screen of new comers into the online marketing scene. Those good at CPA networks can make as much as $3000 a day, even more.

And thats only as an affiliate. As an advertiser, you can make up to $10,000 a day even.

In CPA networks, the way to make the big $$ is to invest in buying ads, hiring teams, or investing ones own time. To make the big dollars, its always better to leverage on money to make money.

It still amazes me that many people don't try to build a mailing list. Without a mailing list in a niche, its very hard to keep in contact with people that are looking for information.

It used to be difficult to maintain a database. Now, there are services that you can use for cheap to maintain your mailing list.

How easy is it to make money from a mailing list?

If you're in the fengshui niche, and have a new product that has arrived. Just send out an email with the offer. Your customers will be lining up to buy.

Nerf Guns are the rage in 2010. When new stock comes in, the local department store sends out an email to all their customers to come buy.

Quick Answer: health niches, cause its recurring sales. actually, there are so many niches, poker, lottery, work from home. i personally like health niches because it also falls in the lucrative 40 to 60 middle age income category.

Affiliates allow you to earn overiding commission. That means you can get sales without worrying about traffic.

As a good vendor, you need to know how to 1st market and convert your own product.

By knowing how to market, you can test whether your product and sales copy converts.

More importantly, you don't need to rely on affiliate traffic. The less you rely on other sources of traffic, the better and more stable your business will be.

With that said, let s say you already have a good product, tested by your conversion tools.

To find good partners, you always need to test. If you can find one at the gate go, that's great!

Most of the time, you will not successful in finding profitable new partners. You have to plough through 10 partnerships in order to find 1 or 2 you can work well with. Sometimes, a 1st business relationship might require you to take less of the cake… or it may just break even, but trust me, its a good idea to just break even at the start to get something going. Testing the performance of a potential partner and getting something going is worth it.

Once the ice is broken and there is some understanding in how each other works, more business can follow.

Most simple 2 party partnerships are a 30%-70% profit sharing, 50%-50% profit sharing, or a 70%-30% profit sharing.

1. Things that can go wrong in a 30%-70% profit sharing model

In this case, you're taking 30% of the profits. Your JV partner takes 70%. Since the JV partner is taking a larger share, he is required to do more. What can go wrong here, is the partner may decide that since he is doing more, he wants to take 90% or 100% of the profits, especially if the money goes to his bank account 1st. He may wire you a small account then what was agreed, or worst still, not even wire.

• MLM is a great way to make money. Especially if you don't have much capital to invest.

By relying on the efforts of your team, you can rely on the efforts of others to make you money.

Some folks don't like the idea of their upline making money of them, or I often hear folks complain that their upline isn't helping them.

Look, if you want your upline who is probably well off to sit up and notice you, then you must be a successful downliner.

Success attracts success, show that you can perform, and your upline will start to notice you, perhaps do a JV with you someday.

That said, don't rely on someone else to make you rich. Count on your own, find success, learn by observing… DOING and success is around the corner.

• The 1st job is to work as a real estate assistant. What this job comprises is to set up meetings and handle phone calls for real estate agents.

The real esate agent will conduct a house viewing and if the sale goes through, you earn a share of the commission.  The pay out would be around 20%.

• Another good job would be assisting marketing companies send out newsletter or emails. Newsletters help the company stay in touch with their customers.

Whenever you draft and email, you get paid for newsworthy content.

To Your Success!
