Building a List With Instant Affiliate Paydays

There are a lot of reasons to build a list these days as an internet marketer and within Instant Affiliate Paydays you will be shown how to go about this but today I want to cover some of the reasons why you should be building a list.

"The money is in the list"…that is the infamous expression when people talk about list building. I know there is a trend out there to make one time sales pages and just rinse and repeat till you get to the top and while I do recommend building multiple pages and the rinse and repeat strategy I also know that building a list can cut your workload in half by simply allowing you to market to the same group of people multiple times rather than always having to be in a position to drive more and more traffic to your offers.

Having a list can become very "push button" because when you have built a solid list you build up trust and form a relationship and then when there is something you are promoting it can be a very natural crossover to send out a notice to your subscribers. It does not even have to come across like a sales pitch or pushy because when people trust you and appreciate your blog or websites content they want to be able to emulate and follow along and will be more than happy to do what you tell them to do.

Inside Instant Affiliate Paydays info there is a lot of content about proper list building but let's go over some of the basics here.

The key to a good mailing list is to really provide value and free content and training. If all you ever do is pitch, pitch, pitch to your list people will eventually stop opening your emails or unsubscribe. You need to be someone in their mind that when they see an email from you that is gonna be the very first thing they open. 

You have to build that excitement.

Always respect your list and let them know you appreciate them by providing solid training and giving out good information for free. This may seem counterintuitive to some just starting, as if by giving away free content you will be shooting yourself in the foot cause then there is nothing for them to buy. However, it actually works the opposite way. The more content and freebies you give out the better that relationship is going to be.

A really good example here is that if you are giving away a series of video training it is a high quality and very useful freebie and then not promoting but by simply suggesting tools that will be necessary to utilize the training and then putting in your affiliate link to these products can be a very cool way to get sales while still earning their trust and respect and then later down the line you can be more open about "buy this" or "check this out" and it will not be shady because they already want to hear what you have to say.

Stick around cause I'll be putting up an official InstantPaydays Review here as we get closer to the launch date next month.

Good luck!

Your Future with Clickbank Auto Profits

Well the launch of Clickbank Auto Profits is only a few days away and that is very exciting. Today I want to talk about your 5 year internet marketing plan. I am a big believer in planning ahead and being able to train yourself to see the big picture and not just the thing directly in front of you.

A lot of people would argue and say just focus on one thing at a time and while I agree that you should only work on one thing at a time as a newbie but this does not mean you cannot have a solid plan for the future and really know down to the last detail what it is you want to spend the next few years doing and in what direction you want to grow your business. I believe this helps cultivate the proper mindset for long term success online.

Affiliate marketing is the ideal place to start online which is why I am recommending Clickbank Auto Profits to my readers. This is going to take you to your first sales and first solid stream of income. But I also know that you need multiple income streams in order to feel really secure with the income you make online.

So maybe you take the next year to really build up your affiliate efforts and get to a place where you can cut back your hours at your regular job or possibly quit altogether depending on how much money you need to replace each month in order to do so. But then I would say the next step would be to start a new project especially since you will have most of that income on complete autopilot a year in and will have the time to start something new. Not to mention the skills and overall confidence.

The next logical step might be to create your own information product and be able to have your own army of affiliates promoting your system. This will require a lot more work that being a pure affiliate but the profits can also be a lot higher. Imagine the feeling of pride knowing you have your own product and are really digging in and helping other people.

Creating your own product can be very satisfying and rewarding for some people but there are negatives to this as well so if you like being an affiliate but wanna ramp up your income another thing to think about would be trying to promote higher end items. Things like diamonds and expensive jewelry can fetch quite a nice commission and there are a lot of these programs. Or participating in more expensive internet marketing courses, there are courses out there that go for thousands of dollars and really, it takes the same skills and marketing to sell a $40 product as it does to sell a $2,000 product. It is all about who you are targeting. And obviously the income potential for these can be huge.

Another thing to consider is to start building a list and then selling to that list other products in the related field and niches. There is a saying "the money is in the list" and this can be very true as long as you go about it the right way. That will probably be a topic for a separate post at this point.

There are so many options which is very exciting so really think it over and consider making your own mental five year plan and setting goals accordingly. I guarantee this will make you more motivated and productive which will ultimately lead to being more successful overall.

For more information on getting the proper start in this world please check out the Clickbank Auto Profits Bonus offer and dig into that course. It will put you on the proper path.

Best of luck to all!

Get the Mindset! Clickbank Auto Profits Release Just Around the Corner.

We are just one week away from the Clickbank Auto Profits launch and the buzz is getting stronger by the day. This is going to be a very exciting course and I really believe it will help a lot of people break into internet marketing and get their first taste of success. However in order to be among those people it requires a certain mindset and goal setting to help keep focused and not just lose interest.

It seems that one of the big things with these type of courses is that people get all pumped up when they read through the sales page and they go ahead and buy and read through the first chunk of info or watch the first handful of videos and then some will kind of fade, others will start to try and put things into practice but at the first roadblock (mine was always finding keywords) and then they fade off too, so at the end of a few months from the launch only a small group of people are still plugging away. This is not the sign that there is anything wrong with the Clickbank Auto Profits course itself, you could have a coach sitting in your living room telling you "click here, click there, type this" but if you do not follow through it would not matter, you will not get results.

So let this be different. If you have bought other courses put them aside and just focus on one thing. Follow the training videos and at the end of each one stop yourself and take action! I used to sit and absorb video courses like they were tv shows, it was interesting to watch and I learned a lot but did I make any money by vegging out in front of my laptop? No...

For me personally the best way to make sure I am on track is to keep a legal pad near my workspace and to keep making to-do lists. No, not everything gets done everyday as I plan. Life happens. But what it does ensure is that I can see how much I need to do, estimate the time each task will take, and plan how much to do each day. Bottom line is that at least it forces me to do SOMETHING!

The other thing I keep close by is a goal sheet, sometimes I add things or take things away so it is always changing but I have three categories. Personal goals or dreams, business goals and milestones, and then financial goals where I get specific about income levels within certain time tables. This is a good daily reminder of where I wanna get so when I get fidgety in my office chair and start drifting from the things I need to do it can help snap me back into action.

The bottom line here is that your success or failure lies in your own hands, take the steps and put in place the systems that will set you up to have the best chances of success, whatever that looks like to you personally. I highly encourage getting the upcoming Clickbank Auto Profits bonus offer and course so that you will have a solid training program and good coaching to go along with it.

Clickbank Auto Profits Business vs. Traditional Home Based Business

The concept of home based business has certainly evolved and in recent years has really taken a new meaning with the thousands of opportunities the internet has to offer. It used to be just MLM type businesses that could easily be run out of a home office that were readily available business models but now with things like the Clickbank Auto Profits opportunity there are more possibilities than ever before for just about anyone to start their own business from home and make a good living.

I already mentioned MLM but let's look at that type of business a little closer and see how it stacks up. I personally have a couple friends and a family member who run these type of businesses. They each sell different things (candles, make-up, scrapbook supplies, etc) and while some people can be wildly successful within each company it seems to me that the average person who gets involved is filled with a lot of hype and promises but not a lot of results. At least not big enough to turn into a full time income. All the people I know do this on a part time basis because it does not provide enough money to be able to quit their day jobs. The biggest thing I have a problem with is that these businesses rely a lot on repeat business and making certain quotas to be able to stay "active" so if you do not perform up to par you can lose rewards and status. You also are required to keep a certain level of inventory in most of these businesses and that can be costly, takes up a lot of space, and if it does not sell it can be a big waste of money. I also like to keep my business at home and while I work with people I do not have to have business meetings constantly and drive all over town to host parties and deliver orders. To me it is a lot of hassle for not a lot of money.

Another popular type work from home job is customer service from home. There is a growing number of companies who are willing to hire people to work from home basically as a call center agent. They take calls from all over the country and do phone based customer service. I would not really call this a business as you are working for an hourly rate (around here it is not much over minimum wage but at least you do save money on work clothes, gas, meals out, etc.) But this is a legit work at home way to make money. The requirements are quite steep though as you need a certain type of computer (no laptops) and a dedicated phone line. You also have to have a place in your home where you can work your whole shift with no distractions. You can't take a coffee break and go chat with family or watch a tv show when you need a break from the computer. Overall pretty picky requirements and a strict schedule. To me not worth the trade off of being able to stay home if I am still working for someone else and their determined wages.

To me it really is nonsense to look for these types of jobs when it is so easy to get started online and can be done for a lot less money than a traditional business. You are not going to run into these types of complications when running your own business using the blueprint found in the Clickbank Auto Profits Bonus. There will be a lot of work involved and it will have its own set of complications but the positive aspects and the results in terms of income far outweigh any problems you might run into and when you have a good coach even the stickier aspects become a lot easier to tackle!

Choosing a Profitable Clickbank Product

Just wanted to do a post to give a list of things to consider when going and picking out products for your Clickbank Auto Profits websites. There is just an overwhelming number of things to consider and so there is a bit of confusion about the different criteria and so here is a bit more direction.

Easily the most confusing thing is gravity...all it means in a nutshell is how many people are making sales with any given product. The only problem is that the timetable for these sales seems a little vague. But the bottom line is that if it is 73, that means that recently 73 people have sold one or more of this item. So obviously newer products will have very low or perhaps even no gravity. Some people prefer to do new products because this way there is a lot less competition, the only problem here is that you will not know whether this product is going to make sales ever...so that is something to think about. Sometimes products are just duds. Then the other side of that coin is that with products that have a high gravity, 100-150 and up means that a lot of people are already promoting this products and obviously are doing something right to be making this high of sales so then you have to start thinking about how much competition you want to be up against.

The next big thing to use as your criteria is how much commission you are going to make per sale. You really need to get a good idea of how much time it is going to require to get money coming in and then determind from there how much you want to make per sale. I personally like something at least $30 because this means that I only need about three sales per day to get to just under $100/day which is a good milestone in the internet marketing journey. Plus this price point will snowball more quickly than something only $10 or $15 per sale. Again, this is a personal preference issue but something to think about as you browse.

The other thing to consider is the refund rate. You don't want to pick a product and spend time and possibly money to promote it just to have a bunch of returns. This is an unfortunate side of digital products but a reality for just about every product out there, some just more than others so watch out for this.

Overall do not let the process of choosing a product overwhelm you or get stuck here. There is a lot of work to be done so you want to make sure you are investing that work for a winner of a product but the longer you take to pick the more time you are wasting when you could be out building your business. For more information about building your business after you select your product check out the Clickbank Auto Profits Review and get that training as well.

Best of luck!

Income Potential with Clickbank Auto Profits

Those new to affiliate marketing have a lot of questions when starting out. One common theme I see among newbies is how much money can you really make when you are selling other peoples products. Some courses are very adamant that you make your own product right off the bat and others tell you that jumping into product creation is the worst thing to do as a beginner. I guess personally I agree with both. There are some people who have the mindset to go out and make a product straightaway. However this is not the case for most people, most people should probably start with affiliate marketing because it will teach all the skills needed to be successful without any risk or the time consuming process of product creation without knowing if it will fail or be a smash hit.

In Clickbank Auto Profits the focus is on affiliate marketing, by selling digital information products. Some people might try and put this type of marketing down by saying it is not profitable enough to be worth it. But let's look at the facts here and see if there is any founding to that viewpoint.

The first thing I want to point out is that there is a ticker on the main page of Clickbank that shows the statistics for how much has been paid out to their affiliates. This number is over a billion dollars...so that right there should be enough to dispel this rumor.

But let's also do a little math of our own based on realist, attainable results that you can have using this type of marketing plan. In the marketplace I just went to health and fitness and picked the top item to use as an example (not to say you should promote this, unless you want to) and the average payout per sale is a little over $45. So let's just say $45 for the sake of this example. So you go out and follow the training and build a site or sites and drive traffic and get ranked and sales come in. So after a couple months you are consistently making 2 sales per day which comes to $90 a day. So right there from one site you have almost $100 per day which is almost $3,000 per month which is enough to replace a day job for a lot of people. But even if that is not your goal just remember that is only one site, one time through the system. You can then go back and rinse and repeat with another product and scale this up as big as you want.

I hope that clears up some of the confusion and helps quiet down the naysayers you hear in different circles. This is a great strategy for starting an online business and the income potential is really as big as you want it to be. Check out this Clickbank Auto Profits Review for more info about how you can get started in this business as well.
