My Journey To Become A Super Affiliate

I remembered the days in JC when i first read the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki and i was truely impressed by the content of the book. My mindset started to change ever since after reading that book and i was determined to get out of the rat race. Robert Kiyosaki then became my all time favourite author and i went on and on to read his other books like “Cash Flow Quadrant” and “Rich Dad Success Stories” etc.
They were marvellous books. He was able to put millionaire concepts across to his readers in the most simple methods.

I attended a seminar on the 27th February 2007 and i was introduced to this Singapore company by the name of SkyQuestCom. The CEO, Dr Richard Tan were actually good friends with Robert Kiyosaki!! I was blown away!

Dr Richard continue to go on about the company profile and what the company have achieved over the years. Click here to read more abt the company profile.

Then he introduced the busines model that got me even more excited. I can actually listen to videos of 200 world class speakers ( 1 of them has to be Robert Kiyosaki of coz!) online and at the same time start my own business at the price of a soft drink/day! Wonderful isnt it?

I think this is by far the best company i have ever seen. Doing Webucation and can be delivered in many languages. How many Japanese or Indonesian or Chinese have wished to listen to world class speakers but didnt’t have the chance to because they couldn’t understand English? Imagine the power and the potential of the market worldwide!

I would definitely hope that you go find out more abt this golden opportunity. Moreover, they allow you to join for FREE to find out the potential of the business model before deciding if you wanna be part of it! Wonderful x 2!!

hello my dear readers, ( If there are any)

Someone whom i just got to know asked me this question.

“Ivan, your blog’s realli cool, but have u earned anything from your blog yet and how much have you invested into your internet business?

Well, what i can say is that i hasnt really started out and still learning how to make money online. However, i have achieved a little result from the internet i would say. Though not much but i’m sure i’ll make it successful in time to come! maybe not millions of dollars but another source of passive income for me.

oh wow, guess wad… i receive a letter from Google on the (erm not really sure when) and the letter looks like this….

This is what you will get when you accumulated US$50 in your Google Account.

In this letter is your pin no to confirm that the mailing address is correct. You wont want your Google Cheque to be sent to another person!!

Alright, after you have confirm pin and accmulated at least US$100 in your Google Account, Google will then process your earnings at the end of the month and also to make sure that you have not generated invalid clicks. After a month or so, this is what you’ll get in your mail box.

Ta Da!!

This is the first cheque that i have ever gotten from the internet! Some of my friends couldn’t believe it… they din believe that earning money from the internet was possible.. they had all the negative thinking abt earning money on the Internet. Ha i proved them wrong.. now they shld believe that making money on the Internet is possible.. but it just takes effort and time. (Alot of it!!)

This is what i have just gotten again today ( 1st March 2007)

Not a very large sum of money but it is still money isnt it? but i’m damn affirmed of myself that i must make it even more in time to come! ha and i want to prove to all my skeptical friends that making money online is POSSIBLE!! (Right?? My Dear Internet Marketer.. )

Anyone interested to find out how actually Google work, feel free to email me at theinternetbiz@gmail.com

Regards,
Ivan Ong

Email is an important aspect of marketing online. But a single email is NEVER enough and in fact can be more costly down the road. Here’s why…

Like standard advertising, it takes repetition in order to get people to first absorb the message, understand it and then ultimately take action.
Naturally, some people will immediately respond while others need to see the message more than once before they even think about responding.
The reason is that each individual has a specific buying behavior. For example, the marketplace is divided into several, graduated segments that are based on such behaviors. They are:
Innovators (2.5%),
Early adopters (13.5%),
Early majority (34%),
Late majority (34%)
And laggards (16%).

Innovators are risk-takers and venturesome. They usually respond to new offers immediately and quickly, without giving them much thought.

Early adopters are impulsive, too, and respond to new ideas early taking action soon after the innovators do, albeit a little more carefully.

The bulk of the market consist of the “middle majority” (68%), consisting of the early and late majorities. It’s the biggest “piece of the pie.”

The first half, or early majority, typically respond to new ideas fairly quickly but are a little more cautious and conservative than early adopters.

The late majority, however, are more skeptical, careful and slow. They take their time, usually shop around and need to see offers more than a few times before giving them any consideration.
The final segment, or laggards, are the slowest to respond. They take action only after time has elapsed, usually once everyone else has done so.
So, what does it all mean to you?

Ultimately, the important thing to note here is that a marketer’s goal is to effectively reach, persuade and incite the largest segment…
The middle majority (68% of your market).

But doing so is difficult to do with a mere, single mailing. Repeating your marketing message more than once is essential with this group.

Email marketing is much like blacksmithing. To mold the metal, you must hit the iron:
1) while it’s hot,
2) in the right way and
3) many times.

Similarly, since the bulk of most sales occur in the follow-up process, you need to follow up in a timely, consistent and compelling manner

Many have asked me how do I measure the success of a website. You will probably agree that it depends. It depends what you want to achieve with the website in the first place.
Ok, ok… Make Money Right?

Most of us build websites to make money. And if that is the case, it’ll be easy to measure success. You would set a target as to how much you want to make with a website right at the beginning. No? Most of us do not have the slightest idea how to build a money making website so I understand why we did not set a monetary target in the first place. Otherwise, it would be a lame reply… “As much as possible!”.
If you make more money than you initially invested, you’ll be in profit. Typically, a DIY website would cost you less than $100 to set up and maintain for a year or even two. So if you make $100 in the first year, you break even. If you make $100 every month from the 6th month onward you are doing really well. So build 20 such websites and you could probably tell your boss you don’t really need that job!
But do you know…

• How to make $100 per month with a website?
• What do you sell to make money?
• How much traffic do you need to make that monthly cheque?

It is true that your website revenue depends on the number and quality of visitors to your website regardless of what you sell - hard goods, e-products, subscription or advertising space (e.g. Google Adsense).
One of the easiest ways to monetize your traffic is to put up Google Ads by registering to be an Adsense publisher. Content website is probably where Google wants the ads to appear so you will need unique and useful content. You will need to optimize each of your web page for search engine so that you will get free traffic from Google, Yahoo, MSN and etc.
So you can see that the success of a website is a function of visitor traffic. Now, let’s determine how much traffic you’ll need to make a $100 cheque every month.

We shall take the example of an Adsense publisher. Since you are a new publisher, let’s target less competitive keywords which you can still get ranked in the top 3 pages with proper SEO techniques. Each click will probably earn you $0.10 or less. You will need at least 1000 clicks to earn a $100 cheque. That will work to 33 clicks every day. If 5 out of 100 visitors click at one ad, you will need more than 650 visitors to your website every day. And that’s a lot of traffic for a new website for a newbie publisher!

If your website is not already generating 500 unique visitors a day then you’ll have to

• Add more content to target more keywords.
• Promote your website by submitting articles and press release.
• Solicit backlinks by submitting to directories and other related websites.
• Rewriting your content to make it search engine friendly and interesting to your readers.

Finally, one more tip for you to find out if your content is liked by your visitors. Go check you server log and see how many people bookmarked your website - people usually bookmark a website when they find it interesting and useful. You should have at least 30% of your visitors bookmarked your website

In Internet marketing, an affiliate is a person or company which sends visitors to a website in exchange for commissions.

Affiliates can earn commissions in three ways: per click, per sale and per lead.Pay-per-click programs have declined dramatically in numbers because of click fraud.Pay-per-sale and pay-per-lead programs are still very common.

These days, affiliate merchants or vendors the whole process easy for affiliates. You go to the vendor’s site, type in your name and address, and wait for your website to be approved. In some cases, approval is automatic.Each affiliate is given a unique link to paste into his or her website, so the vendor can track which affiliate is responsible for generating a sale.Most affiliates own a website or several websites. However, some earn commissions by paying for advertising and sending the visitors directly from the ads to the merchant.This “affiliate arbitrage” is a tough field for a newcomer. It’s easy to spend more than you earn. Instead, I strongly recommend you start by creating your own website.

Here’s a common misuse of the word “affiliate”:
WRONG: “I want to add some affiliates to my website.”
CORRECT: “I want to add some affiliate products to my website.”
CORRECT: “I want to add some affiliate links to my website.”

Being an affiliate is a bit like being a commissioned sales person - online.There are many advantages in having this sort of business.
For example, you don’t have to create a product, you don’t have to carry any inventory, you don’t have to worry about handling products, or postage, or refunds.You work from home, choosing your own hours. You are your own boss.Affiliate programs are usually free to join.
Disadvantages? You have to have discipline and determination to succeed.For newcomers to Internet marketing, joining an affiliate program or two is an excellent opportunity - a good way to earn money without producing your own product.

2.Eliminate the hassles of product development, ad writing, order processing, shipping, refunds, and customer service. Let others do all that. All you do is drive visitors to their site!

Dr Mike Part 3

My Full Review From What I learnt from Dr Mike’s Preview!

5. Focus on unique content
Not only do you need your content to be unique, but also summarized it in your own words so that people would know who you really are.

6. Size of the Ads in Adsense
Dr Mike is famous for one thing and that is the income he made from Adsense. This is what he said about Adsense. The top 2 most performing Ad types are the Large rectangle and Leaderboard ads.
You would want to put your Ads on the top of the page where it will be the 1st thing that your viewer will see or using the longer banner Ad Size on the size of your site.
He also mentioned, Ads must be borderless with no border and the color of the links or Ads must be in BLUE! WHY? Because it’s the universal language that everyone knows anything that is blue and is underline is a link you can click!

7. Check Quality of Ads on Adsense
You can go to Digital Point Adsense SandBox to check the quality of your ads, to see how your ads appear on your page.

8. The Best Types of Adsense Sites!
If you noticed one thing that Google, YouTube, Myspace all have one thing in common. If Dr Mike did not said it I would not have noticed it too. It’s called Visitor Contribution Systems (VCS) .
VCS sites are great sites for Adsense. Why? The content that is created on the site is not by you but by your visitors who contribute into the site. You noticed all these sites really grow big and many people participate in them!
Other examples of VCS sites are forums, reviews, picture sites, feedback sites and much much more.

9. How to Choose the Right Market
According to Dr Mike, you will need to ask the following questions to get your answer.
Q1. Am I interested in this market?
Q2. What is the past performance and long term viability of this market?Q3. How accessible is this market?

10. Taking advantage of Web 2.0
What is Web 2.0? Websites like www.namespy.com , www.youtube.com are some examples. They make use of the latest technology on Web 2.0 platform to develop these sites.
Do you know that according to Dr Mike, myspace.com has 1.6 Billion traffic, that is twice of what Google is getting.

11. Top 4 Methods Dr Mike Used to Drive Traffic
Method 1. Link Authority (<– It’s the BEST!)
Method 2. Social Bookmarking (<– this really works)
Method 3. Submit Articles (<– A Must DO!)
Method 4. Press Release (<– Not yet done but soon!)

Dr Mike Woo Ming Part 2

3. How Much Is Google Really Worth at Moment

Dr Mike explained that Google currently to date is worth US$152 Billion Dollars as at 16 Nov 2006. A according to his research he said that US$825 Million Dollars is given to Google Adsense.

That shows that there are real money to be made in Adsense as to every $1 that Google makes they actually give 79 cents to Adsense on the average!

4. What 99% of Internet Marketers Got Wrong With Adsense

99% of Internet Marketers do not create targeted content to their website. Meaning if you are selling fish. You dont want to just talk about fish but talk about rare asian fish that is so targeted to people who wants to know where they can find rare fish.

He said that, the more targeted your content is the better it is! The more unique your content, more visitors will keep on coming back to your website which I totally agree =)

Things that you can write about can be in a form of a product review using articles. You can easily get freelancers from www.elance.com or scriptlance.com and pay like Us$5 to US$7 per article to be written for you.

More to come in part 3… Stay Tuned!
