How to Reach $100 a day with Affiliate Marketing - EASY METHOD EXPOSED...

Everytime I see someone make a post promising you how to make $100 a day I see DP members flood around and go crazy.

If I was starting out again and wanted to make money quickly without spending anything other than my own effort this is the mthod I would do.

When you break it down you realize that the $100 a day target is not that hard to acheive.

Let's break it down.

- We'll promote an affiliate product that pays roughly at least a $25 commission. This way I only need at least 4 sales a day to make $100.

- I'm going to pick a real tangible product that is in high demand.

- After looking around the product I choose is a High Definition Television. Big demand for these and affiliate comissions are high.

- I now look in Amazon's bestsellers to see what is popular.

- The most popular HDTVs are Samsung models roughly priced between $500 - $2000. Amazon pays a 4% commission on these so if I sold a $1000 TV I'd get $40.


Now how do I make money with this???

- First I will make a quick website that I can create a price comparison page on. I want to compare at least 3 prices from around the web for the particular model I choose to promote

- I join the Amazon Affiliate program and also two other affiliate programs in Commission Junction that sell this TV. These pay between $25 and $150 for each sale I generate depending on the model and the particular affiliate program.

That means I need between 1-2 sales a day on average to reach my $100 a day goal - see how real this goal is becoming!!!

- To get started I simply make a page that compares the three prices outlining the best price. This page is useful to visitors as they can quickly find the cheapest TV while I get paid a commission... brilliant.

Now all I need is traffic...

- I give the price comparison the title of:
"Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch HDTV Price Comparison."
I also fill it with lots of content about the TV to make sure I can attract lots of SE traffic.

- Now I need to build links to the site to help get SE traffic. I will do this with article marketing.

This is where I write an article and submit it to xxx number of directories. The articles give linkbacks to my site (helping to get more SE traffic) and also the articles can get traffic themselves (as they also rank in the search engines) meaning the users will click the links in the article and land at my price comparison pages.

- What I don't want to do is write 1 article and submit it to 100 directories - this is fine but not the most effective way as Google will treat 99% of them as duplicate content.

- Instead I will write one article but use JetSpinner (free) to spin it into 100 unique articles with unique titles. This way the chance of being hit for duplicate content is less - and each article will be slightly different so get rankings for slightly different phrases.

How to write the articles for traffic

- The most important thing in an article is making sure the title contains a strong keyword phrase. See my post on this here.

- I did a search for a "Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch HDTV" in Google. There were NO exact matches.
WOW!!!! I can really break into this little niche very easily.

- I could come up with plenty more little variations like:
Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch TV
Samsung LNT 4661F 46 inch HDTV
Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch High Def TV
Samsung LNT 46 inch HDTV
Samsung LNT4661F etc...

- Using Jetspinner I could create 100 variations of the title of my article to be used in my article submissions.

- Chances are some of these articles will hit the top 10 in Google, MSN and Yahoo and people will read the articles and click through to my price comparison site. Plus the extra link backs will also raise the rankings of my price comparison pages.


Rinse and Repeat

- Each day I make a new price comparison page for a HDTV model

- Each Day I submit 100 variations of my article to 100 directories. The articles links back to my site and each submission of 100 articles drives a trickle of traffic (say just 10 visitors a day).

- After 1 month I have had 30 submission and get 300 visitors a day. Because the traffic is so targeted and the page I drive visitors to is actually useful for every 300 visits I get at least 1 sale.

- That's at the very least $50 a day - but probably more if I get higher conversions.

If I do exactly the same in the next month and I've reached my $100 a day guaranteed!

Great informations! Thanks for sharing!

 

Good one,
By the way, I don't like amazon, coz they pay commision after ~60 days or something

 

I agree, why wait for WEEKS to get paid?

I too, am an Amazon affiliate, and they do have THOUSANDS of things to make money on,
but again - "Why WAIT for WEEKS"?


See my post HERE for a quicker way...

good way to make $100/day Revenue. Some want to get FAST traffic and will pay for traffic so there are costs. Idk about selling 1,000 TV's all day though. Maybe some.

 

Dude...absolutely sweet post! I rate this better than many of the crappy ebooks out there. You get reps from me my friend!

 

I liked the post very informative

 

Excellent post. Thanks for sharing

 

You don't have to use just Amazon - you can use comission junction, tradedoubler, ShareSale etc. as well.

 

awsume!! thanks alot men this is great

 

Just use Amazon as one of the price comparisons, and hope it doesn't turn out to be the cheapest!

 

There were 0 searches for "Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch HDTV" last time I checked.. it's very easy to do this with a very specific model number that will generate close to 0 results if you search for it (no competition) but which gets no traffic either.

 

Wow! valuable information for me. I would give that method a try.

 

How do you figure the traffic is targeted coming from article sites?

If that logic were at all reasonable, then PPC advertisers would find great success advertising on Googles Content Network.

As any experienced Adwords advertiser will tell you, content sites, rarely if ever drive targeted converting traffic.

Most of the people who read article sites are likely other webmasters doing article marketing, looking for ideas and free content...

Article marketing is simply fishing...cast a line, and hope something that's hungry for what you have, comes along and bites.

Paid advertising is selling to those actively looking for what you have.

 

You couldn't be more wrong.

Content network works

I have used the Adwords content network successfully to get very targetted traffic. In fact right now I have a number of campaigns on the content network making good money - anyone experienced in PPC will tell you that the content network is lower quality - but the traffic is cheaper and all that matters is your ROI - it generally won't convert as well but you can still get sales/leads and make money. It is all about testing and tracking to see what works.

There is also site targetted campaigns as well which I have made good money from.

Under your theory it woud be impossible for any website to sell advertising where advertisers would make an ROI - they would have to use only PPC traffic from the search engines.

If no-one was advertising on the content network and making money then why are so many website owners making money from adsense.

Traffic from article sites is targetted

The articles get a good chance of ranking in the Google top 10 for their keyword phrase.

This means they are getting targetted search traffic. The people that click on the link in the article to get to the price comparison page were interested in seeing a price comparison for that model - it is highly targetted traffic.

Yes you would probably see better results from using Adwords search network - BUT you have to pay for that.

If you see a certain article ranking well in Google, bringing lots of traffic and generating sales you can always start an adwords campaign for that keyword and similar keywords to go firectly to your price comparison page.

 

A keyword tool will almost never give you accurate results for the long tail keywords.

Yes this search term won't get much traffic - maybe only a few visitors a day.

But since you are making 100 articles for each model chances are 50% of articles might get zero traffic (because they either don't rank or there is no traffic for their search term).

But 45% will get a trickle of traffic - maybe a few visitors a day.

But with 5% of the articles you will have discovered a keyword phrase that people are actively searching for and be getting a decent amount of traffic from this.

Also some of the articles will likely manage to rank for many other phrases like "Samsung LNT4661F", "Samsung HDTV Cheap", and many others.

 

Well heres the thing .....Tracking conversions to lead / sales does not lie and the content network may drive traffic... but the traffic to lead / sales conversion is dismal. Especially when compared to the Search Network.

There are instances where the above is not true however this is few and far between.

Paid Advertising works because it has for centuries... just because people were born in the net generation... does not mean business principles / methods / practices for success have changed.

Also I rarely see article sites ranking well for competitive keyword terms...

If youre playing in long tail then perhaps you will see them but this simply tells us that the term is either

1. Not discovered

2. Not worth targeting.

You can learn a lot about what is worth targeting, and what's not by looking at the PPC ads displayed.

Advertisers learn very quickly what works and what does not so if there are a lot of advertisers for your keyword term then it is likely a good majority are making sales.

If your keyword does not return many ads.. it is very likely it did not perform well for advertisers.

Check other search engines to see if there is play for the term or not.....if you do not see many advertisers then you need to do further due diligence so as to not waste time.

 

- All I do is allow traffic from the content network in adwords...
- See if it converts - 90% of the time it does convert (although much less than the search network).
- I just adjust my bid so I have a 50% ROI.

It is that simple. 80% of campaigns I run make money off the content network. Thanks to people who are ignorant to the content network it is much less competitive.

I also use site targetted campaigns to make sure my Ads appear on a specific website or page.

I started a small one two days ago - spent $30 for far and made $100 - it roughly works out at $0.20c a click. Now I just leave it and quite happily take $50 a day (although I have now expanded it now to other sites).

I tried the campaign on the search network but just couldn't make it work because it was too competitive.

Just because you don't see them does not mean they are there. I'm sure you haven't searched for the billions upon billions of possible phrases out there.

If you have ever run a site that gets a lot of search engine traffic you will notice that there is always a ton of longtail keywords bringing you traffic - even when you didn't try to target them.

Fact is there are millions upon millions of undiscovered search terms out there that people are not competiting for.

You can only learn so much by looking at existing PPC ads and using keyword tools. Nothing beats actually going out there and testing yourself.

I've personally been shocked at some of the longtail phrases out there bringing a ton of highly converting traffic - these terms often never show up in keyword tools. You have to use your brain to think of them.

 

Splendid Guide! I really appreciate the pain you have taken to share with fellow DP members and rest of the world, it really takes a lot to share something you have been working around!

Cheers!

 

Ok well we can sit and argue about who is right.

Youre so adamant that you are posting something you know about do us all a favor and paste a screen shot of your proof that the content network is providing converting traffic.

Otherwise

Your'e blowing smoke up peoples arses trying to make yourself look bright.
