Sherman's Online Marketing Tips

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.

spending power and have credit cards.

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.

You can start to leverage on affiliates from Clickbank.

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.

In Google Adwords bid to cull advertising they consider undesirable, many good advertisers have also been hit, and have had their business shut down because they can't find any new source of customers.

2 common areas that are quickly shut down by Adwords are the "make money" websites that try to advertise on Adwords.

An Ad that says "Make $5000 a month" is almost certainly shut down by the Google Bot. A manual review may take place which confirms that decision.

That manual review is usually done by someone from India. Inferred by an Indian name at bottom of every Suspension email.

Weight loss landers, are very easily fall prey to the google adwords bot as well. Certain words on the lander that give the Bot cause that weight loss is too "fantastic or quick" gets an account permanently suspended. A manual review from india may or may not help. Even if you are a legitimate weight loss website with a brick and motar business, your website can still be prohibited from every advertising on Google Adwords once the suspension review is determined final by the Indian vetting center.

• 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!

Seems more and more people are now getting banned by Adcenter, this July 2011. Some have been banned by Facebook, and more have been kicked off the Adwords network.

When it comes to Adcenter bans, most of this issue is coming from the billing department.

One of the worst errors from this department is you can get banned accessing your adcenter account from overseas.

If you're from the States, and you access your adcenter account on vacation in china, or thailand, your account will get flagged and gets banned.

You can call in to support but there is really not much they can do. Adcenter support will simply take your details, but 90% chance you will still get banned by the Adcenter billing department as they don't give advertisers the benefit of the doubt.

When it comes to marketing, remember, its a numbers game. When you're selling a residual income product likle Global Domains International, you need to have a certain volume of clicks every day.

A volume of clicks can come from emails sent out daily with a link to your offer, or from traffic sources whether it be from Search Engine Optimisation or Paid Traffic.

Generally, you want to send 500 clicks to an offer. You'll find that 100 clicks may not give you the conversions you're looking for, the higher the cost of the item, the more clicks you need to send.

Once you know the numbers, then you have a target to hit, meaning, if you send 100- 150 clicks and no sales, while 500 clicks gets you 3 to 6 sales…. work to get 500 clicks to that offer daily.

Sometimes we may get lucky and get 1 conversion from a single keyword. If the traffic is volumous, that's a gold mine, you probably be making $200 and sometimes $1000 a day. If its not consistent high volume traffic, that keyword is just a bonus.

Video marketing is a great way to get traffic. Its free and you can leverage on folks to do remakes to get your content out.

If you haven't heard of it, Vietnam Tom is a video that has been shared on youtube, now making its way to traditonal online media, radio etc.

One easy way right now to make money with Vietnam Tom video is to create a remake of the original Vietnam Tom footage, place a self defence course at the description..

"Whoop Ass like Vietnam Tom" …

If your remake is interesting, it'll go viral, and that's money in your pocket. Here's an example..

If you're running some huge numbers on Adwords, small charges can slip in from other Parasite adwords accounts. This may go unnoticed until you stop running your adwords campaigns and notice small charges still coming in.

The charges will be around $0.34. $8.20, to $10.

It can go as high as $1000.

You can write in to Adwords to refund the money, but you will still incur a banking surcharge to recover it and its around $3 to $5.00. It will not be covered by Adwords.

This is an issue of identity theft, if you run an online business, 2 things you need.

It is amazing what the internet can do. They way Google Adwords is structured now, so long as you can offer a good service from your website. You can count on Adwords to send you a ton of traffic.

A couple of things you want to leverage are the following.

1. Use the Content network.

Adwords shows their ads on websites that place a tiny code from Adsense. This is Google's publishing platform. Ads served on Adwords gets shown up on websites that have these little codes. 

One of the main problems with Adsense back in the early days was the fraud issues. As of now 2011, Adsense strictly polices for fraud and anyone caught clicking on their own ads will have their adsense account banned.

When in northern china, I was on a train when I learnt about FanTong.com. This was a bulk buy site that did pretty well featuring daily deals for meals. How they got the business off the ground was to have 20 employees line in front of each of the restaurants, then enter to speak with the manager about offering 50% discount if enough customers were introduced.

The site has done very well. Some of these Chinese groupon clones have made their owners over night millionaires. Cool

I later had the chance to speak with some prominent international food establishments in Shenyang City.

These restaurants were quite familiar with bulk discounts. However when faced with the question of repeat advertising on Bulk Discount sites, many restaurants declined to advertise again. It was pretty much a loss when they participated in the "tuan gou" business. It seems the idea of group buy is good for certain types of industry, such as the spa business, or a skating ring where the operator needs the place to be filled on week days…

International restaurants that already have recognition and steady flow of customers tend not to require these big deal services, since its not profitable to run the campaigns.

Google offered to buy Groupon for $6 billion which was turned down. Adwords belongs to Google and Groupon heavily uses this to advertise their services locally.

Hypothetically, if Groupon won't accept Google's offer, Google could turn around and say, "fine, no more advertising your business on our adwords platform." Followed up by their famous Google Ban cut and paste email summarised as "We have the right to not accept advertising based on our discretion. Our privcy policy allows us to not disclose why."

That's Google telling Groupon, "Don't make an enemy out of me, or I will squash you like i did to 100,000 advertisers.  Work with me or no LOCAL advertising for you."

Except this time, Groupon has the financial muscle to swing back. Just like China smacking Google down a few notches and forcing Google to heavily reinvent their search for the China market, much to Google's dismay.

Ah well… inception scenarios over… time for us to start selling online.

Msn Adcenter is Bing's Search Engine Pay Per Click platform.

One issue you might run into with them is the hold they can place on your account.

While the hold isn't a ban, like the way the Google Ban is which bans you for life, this temporary hold can put your income out for a week.

This often happens when there are billing issues like when billing does not go through.

If you try to open another account, that account can get hung up also. and its automated.

So if you intend to market with Bing advertising, remember to keep a credit card dedicated for that use only and keep your credit limits high, especially if you run big adspend dollars on their platform.

other thing is..

This method is no longer acceptable on adwords. While this method was much taught before the adwords banning in 2009, and was very successful, its now no longer acceptable practice with Adwords.

This method can still be used in every other advertising channels.

Here are Lander Examples that will get your Adwords account in trouble.

Examples of prohibited websites:

• Websites that offer a free gift in exchange for personal information
• Websites that request personal information to get the results of a survey or quiz

To Everyone Who Aspire To Do Better, May You Achieve What You Set Out To Accomplish This 2011.

To Your Great Success, And A Year Filled With Fortune And Fulfilled Goals!
