One Week Marketing Guide

I've just read the One Week Marketing Guide which highlights an overview of the Day1-7 of OWM and it has given me a few A-Ha! moments already!!! Woo Hoo! I think I'm on my way to somewhere! ;)

Viola!!

Still not a sale yet. Will One Week Marketing make wonders for me?

It's been almost 3 months since I've started Internet Marketing already. I last mentioned I've created 4 lens and to date I've submitted 7 articles to ezine already and still not a single sale in my clickbank account yet. *sigh, I'm a little frustrated! :(

Anyway, I came across this product called One Week Marketing by Potpie Girl, who is also a member of Wealthy Affiliate. I've heard many fantastic reviews from this book. My friend Yue also got a hold of it and he mentioned it's the best internet marketing guide he's ever bought. Nick also mentioned he made 3 sales within the one week marketing plan!

I just got a hold of it and downloaded the guide. It's sitting on my desktop right at this moment. Let's see if it does any wonders for me... Wish me Luck!

Squidoo Lens on the Rise

I have 4 lens that are launched to date. After about 2 weeks of anticipation 3 of them are finally indexed on google.. oh finally! However, the one that is going on the strongest on my squidoo dashboard isn't indexed yet. How Strange :-S Google is funny. I am still trying to figure out how exactly google works on SEO and indexing.

Actually my lens were indexed 2 weeks ago. It got me all hyped up and really excited. SUDDENLY google decided to take me off their list the following day :( And now I'm back again. Lets keep fingers crossed that my lens stay indexed this time round!

Anyway, if you're interested, do take a look at my lens on my Strip That Fat Promo. I haven't made any sales yet. but my Goodbye Love Handle lens is going strong. It is currently ranked #183 on Health and Medicine and #3497 overall on squidoo! And there are like over 200,000 lens on squidoo ok! :)

I know the total visits are not great at the moment. That's because it only got indexed like today. That means that the traffic I've been getting are solely from squidoo community itself and other social websites which I bookmarked them.

My articles are on its way to be approved by Ezine. Still pending.

I wish I could work faster on. But Patience Patience... Patience is a Virtue... I think I'm doing ok! :)

Buddy from WA

About 2-3weeks ago, I felt completely low spirited with IM. I was overloaded with information, tired, still lost, didn't know what worked and what didn't and then suddenly came a buddy with a helping hand. :)

I was surfing inside Wealthy Affiliate one day and I noticed a new member from Malaysia that placed a Greeting Post. I welcomed her and placed a post on her WA spaces. The following day someone left a post on my WA space and said "Hi, Yue here from Malaysia too!" and our 'buddyhood' began from there.

Yue is an engineering student and he's currently studying in Singapore. He enrolled WA about 2-3months before me. He is currently making successes through Internet Marketing already and he's coming close to his USD$1000 per month from Internet Marketing, and his successes to date are only his part-time efforts! I was very excited to hear his success and Yue has been guiding me towards my Strip That Fat Success since. He is a really really helpful and kind dude and he is currently running a campaign on Bum Marketing Methods.

So, to share with you all, for those who are new to Internet Marketing and wish to start with Bum Marketing, I suggest you check out his lens,
Bum Marketing Methods| Bum marketing Weaknesses and Solutions| Bum marketing Cons and Solutions
to get a clearer picture. This method to make money is Absolutely FREE. All you need is a little bit of time and patience to get your campaign going :)

To date, I've created 4 lens and submitted 5 articles. Wanna thank Yue here for lending me your helping hand and for keeping me motivated! Cheers buddy!

Making money from Affiliate Marketing

Basically there are two main methods to Affiliate Marketing:-

a. Article Marketing (also known as Bum Marketing)
In layman's term, it is as it sounds. Article Marketing. Basically you WRITE and you get paid. :) Well of course it isn't as simple as it is, but that is what article marketing is about. You write articles based on your niche and product, Add value to the readers and you lead your readers to your merchant's site. And you know what is the best thing about article marketing, it is FREE! Yep! you don't need to pay a cent to get your articles up. Some sites which you can submit your articles to are:-
www.ezinearticles.com
www.squidoo.com
www.wordpress.com
www.usfreeads.com
If you want to know more about article marketing, i suggest you to subscribe to Todd Alan's Long Tail Treasure E-course or Travis Sago Bum Marketing Methods

b. PPC (Pay Per Click)
Basically this is as it says as well. Pay Per Click. This is Paid Advertising. Google Adwords would be one of the most popular PPC advertisers. If you haven't noticed on the google search engines, many a times ads are posted on the right hand column of the search engine under the "sponsored links". Those are pretty much PAID advertising and the advertising space is costed by per clicks.

There are lots more to go into regarding these two methods but this post is just to give you a general overview.

How does the Affiliate Mechanism work?

Ok. It's very simple. Basically this is how it works. You have the following:-

a. Merchant - sells and distributes the products
b. Internet Consumers - people who buys goods or services online
c. Affiliate (YOU) - the BRIDGE

Yep, as you can see from above, you are pretty much the BRIDGE. You link your merchant and internet consumers together and your merchant pays you a commission for your effort.

What are the payouts?
The payouts ranges from different products. The range is as low as 5% way up to 90%! yes you got that right 90%! But on average for digital products, merchants normally pay about 75%. That means if you were to promote a product that costs $47, you get a commission of about $35! So imagine if you were to sell 10 products a day, multiply by 30days in a month, that'd be $10,500 per month!

So yes guys... are you starting the power of internet marketing? And I'm not kidding, these are real figures! I've spoken to real people at Wealthy Affiliate that are achieving these figures and some even more per month! Simply Inspiring! :)

8 Week Action Plan

The 8 Week Action Plan is step-by-step guide which Wealthy Affiliate provide in the membership. Basically it is like an online course that will take you through to setting up your campaign to make your first dollar online!

In this 8 week action plan you will learn the A-Z about affiliate marketing. Yes it's all in there. So basically Wealthy Affiliate is Everything you need to get started with Affiliate Marketing and also to becoming successful at it.

So as for me now it's Week 7. As you can see I haven't posted a post for several weeks now, that's because I've been so engrossed with my 8 week action plan and I finally started my first squidoo lens online. I'll write more about squidoo lens in the later posts.

Anyway, just to let you know, no.. i did not manage follow the 8 week action plan strictly - Of course I don't advise that. I wish I had... and if you CAN, do so. Follow it week by week religiously and do your weekly tasks. However, I still do have a full time job and the first few weeks I had lots of deadlines on my plate to finish up. Also, I went to bali on week 3. Haha. Yes Yes.. I slipped a little. BUT, i've caught up since I got back and I'm back on track!

Anyway my 2cents worth, seriously time is on your side and you can make it on your side. FOLLOW THE 8 WEEK ACTION PLAN. I have read many Success on the Forum and people make their first sale and their first $100 online before they even complete the 8 week action plan. In fact, the 1st week action plan is good enough to get you started! :)

The investment of Internet Marketing is simple. It is based on your TIME.
