The first 3 things about internet marketing

Before we begin marketing our referral program I want to introduce you to 3 concepts that you must keep in mind whatever you are marketing.

Step 1

Build your List

If there is no way to build a list for yourself with what you are marketing then STOP NOW!! You will see as we progress through this review the number of hours it takes to get a program rolling and bringing in income, don’t fall into the trap of putting in these hours only to have to repeat yourself with the next one (Why will there be a next one? well we will talk about multiple streams of income later).

Now you will have noticed if you have checked out the site we are promoting, that we are simply building their list for them, even though we are getting paid to do so!

See how you can be part of this review and how you can help by reading THIS POST

There are many creative ways to build a list, and we need to address this NOW!

Step 2

You need to be able to track your hits, know where your traffic comes from and what is working for you. You will remember that the primary reason we chose this particular referral program for our review was because of their tracking. We would normally use an independent tracking system and not rely on the member area statistics but in this instance we wanted to keep it simple, also part of the review addresses the integrity of the program.

Step 3

STOP PROMOTING YOUR AFFILIATE LINKS!!!!!!! Especially in traffic exchanges

How many times have you seen the same website over and over again? Why is your affiliate link going to be different from the thousands of others that already grace the internet? You need to use splash pages.

Splash pages are one of the best kept secrets in hit exchange advertising. They are in fact promoting a website that you may be an affiliate to but they are custom made pages with only a few sentences, that capture the viewer’s attention and relay what the website is all about. A good splash page loads at lightning speed, has little or no graphics, and is no more than a paragraph of text.

So now I am going to go off and make my self a couple of splash pages.

p.s If you expect to be taken seriously and intend a long career on-line get yourself some web hosting!
