Matt Bacak Explains Affiliate Marketing Networks

If you are considering becoming an affiliate to build an online business, you need to understand affiliate marketing networks.  There are endless merchants online who offer you a wide range of products and services to sell in order to make a flat amount or commission.  Some are also cost per action, which means you get paid when a visitor takes an action the merchant wants, such as filling out a questionnaire or application.  Visitors don’t necessarily have to purchase a product; the merchant simply wants to gather information so that they can further market to the interested visitor.

Some of the more popular and well-known affiliate marketing networks are Clickbank, Commission Junction, Pay Dot Com, Market Health and the Pepperjam Network.  Depending on the niche you choose and the products you want to sell, you can find literally any item by searching online for “desired product+affiliate program.”  For example, you may want to sell herbal supplements in the health niche.  You can find many networks and merchants that allow you to sell their products for a nice profit by keying in “herbal health supplements+affiliate program.”

When choosing the products you want to market, make sure the network is a reputable one that has proven to be reliable and to pay their affiliates in a timely manner.  Some affiliate marketing networks aren’t as well known as others, so you want to be sure to check them out thoroughly before you start promoting their products and services.  Becoming an affiliate and using proven marketing strategies is one of the most popular ways that people earn a substantial amount of money on the internet, and anyone can do it if they focus and aren’t afraid to put a little work into it.  Want to know the RIGHT way to become an internet marketing success?  Contact Matt Bacak!

Tips of How to Find Top Selling Products


Tips of How to Find Top Selling Products

Tips of How to Find Top Selling Products
By Matt Bacak

Venturing out into the big bad world of online marketing can be intimidating and somewhat daunting if you haven’t done it before. Trying to make your first sale may also seem like a challenge. But there are some strategies that you can use to help you promote and more effectively, but more importantly sell your first product or an affiliate product. So, let me discuss the best methods you can use to find top selling products to sell online.

Well, basically there are two different ways that I do it. One is to be on various people’s lists within the niche you’re trying to investigate. So all you’ll have to really do is investigate what people are mailing out more than once. If they mail it more than once, it’s probably because they’re making money from it. And if they mail it twice or three times, they must be making really good money from it so it would be worth investigating.

However, sometimes you don’t have to do any investigating at all. All you have to do is observe your competition. No need to research the market. Let your competition do it. Become their affiliate and see how the product is selling. Let them do all the work. Find out what’s selling for them and then just kind of go in, sign up for the affiliate program for that, and then sell that product. That’s one great way to find a top selling product.

Another thing you could do is to visit different places online. I believe there are two places that you can go to find out what people are launching i.e., affiliate programs as well as other types of programs. And the two places that you can go to is JVNotifyPro.com, and then I think it’s ProductLaunch.com. A simple Google search will show you similar sites.

You can also find some of the most successful product launches. Basically all you have to do is find one that you can probably participate in. The two I mentioned though are two great places to go to. Another thing you can do is you can go to ClickBank.com. A lot of people are using ClickBank now more than ever, and I know it’s been recommended for the longest time. But the reason for that is because there’s a third party involved in the transactions. So, you don’t have to do much since everything is taken care of by ClickBank. All you have to do is just collect the money you’ve earned through the sales you make. However, the best part of it is you actually know that you’re getting paid because basically ClickBank is taking the money from the customer and they’re paying you as well as the other person. So if you’re an affiliate of a particular product, and you make a sale, ClickBank will handle collecting the money so you don’t have to. You simply wait for your automated notifications of sales and all you do is wait to receive your check. That’s it!

So ClickBank is kind of like the middleman in the transaction. So if you go through this route and decide to sell ClickBank products, look for ones that have the higher gravity. The gravity simply tells you which product is selling the best. This analysis will help you select product that are most likely going to make you the sale and be products that your list will find are quality products that they can benefit from.

Using the strategies, websites and tactics I’ve mentioned in this article are sure to help you make some solid sales if you market well and follow-up with your list often. Good marketing practices always help build a strong business.

There are many strategies to making money on the internet, but nothing makes sense unless you have a big list. Email Marketing is the most profitable way to make money on the internet. When you build a list of hot and hungry prospects you control your future. Discover how to use the internet and turn your computer into a cash gushing machine.

Strategy For Launching a Product and Creating Buzz

Strategy For Launching a Product and Creating Buzz

Strategy For Launching a Product and Creating Buzz
By Matt Bacak

One very effective strategy you can use to launch your new product is to first do one massive launch for a tele-seminar. If you get enough word out and your product is in demand, you should have no problems getting enough people to attend your seminar and therefore making a lot of money in a very short space of time.

If you are working with JV partners, you can also choose to do several individual tele-seminars to launch your product. The advantage of doing it this way is that your partner can personally introduce you to their list and you can give them more personalized attention. This can build more trust, credibility and ultimately more sales. If you’re doing one big massive launch, yes, you’re going to make a lot of money at once, but you and your partners are not going to be able to give that personal touch. So you’ve got to make the decision. Both ways are going to work and make you a lot of money.

As for me personally, I prefer doing a major launch first to see which partners give me the best results. Then I will go back to those people individually and arrange a special encore presentation specifically for their list. The way they can frame it to their people is by saying, “Hey, listen, we just did this call and we had an amazing response. So I personally contacted Matt and I asked him if he can do a special private tele-seminar specifically for us, and he said yes! So go here right now and sign up before it’s too late because the last one got filled up really quickly and this one will, too.” I find this type of approach works really well too.

What are some attention-getting – buzz worthy strategies to get everyone excited about the tele-seminar? Well, one thing you’ve got to do is you’ve got to limit it. If you’re going to do a tele-seminar, I guarantee you’re probably only going to be able to secure a set number of lines. So, using scarcity and urgency is really going to help you out to get people’s attention really quickly. I know you’ll want to help everybody, but you’re not going to be able to get every single person on that call, and that’s one thing to let them know from the start.

Another ideal way to create buzz is by getting people to know you. Give away some tips and have people mail out a video for you. Then they will get to know you, like or love you and you can get them to sign up to see more videos. Communicate with those people and let them know what’s going on. You’ve got to do multiple hits to these people and videos are actually the best way to do it.

This is a great strategy because in reality, you’re going to be really lucky if you’re able to get your partners to mail for you more than once. If they do, consider yourself exceptionably blessed. Obviously, it would be ideal to have them mail for you as many times as possible, but you’ve got to realize that your JV partners are basically lazy.

So, you need to make it brain-dead simple for each and every one of them. You’ve got to lay things out so that all they’ve got to do is click the send button. You are going to want to write all the emails and put up all the pages for your partners so that it’s a simple click and send promotion. Do everything so they won’t have to lift a finger. You don’t want them to really do anything except for pushing the send button. If you can make it that brain-dead, drop-dead easy for them, they will be more likely to mail out to their list for you again in the future.

However, that’s just one aspect because you’ve still got to make sure that your stuff converts and people buy it. If you are successful doing that, you’re going to get more people to join you and create more buzz because there’s money to be made. Once that happens affiliates all over the world are going to be saying good things about you because they want to make a commission off of your product. However, if you cannot get your product to make money for people, then obviously nobody’s going to want to promote it. So you’ve got to work on making sure that the sales process as well as everything else is rock solid so that your partners are confident that you can deliver on the goods that you’re offering.

Affiliate Marketing Success Depends On Many Factors

While many people go online and experience great affiliate marketing success, others flounder.  Why the difference?  Much of it depends on your motivation, focus and willingness to work hard.  One of the biggest problems with experiencing the success that you desire is wanting it right now – having no patience.  Many marketers have failed simply because they tried out a strategy or two, didn’t make money in one week, and gave up.  This is not the attitude you need!  It takes more than a half-hearted attempt to build a real business with affiliate products and services.

One of the most important factors when it comes to achieving great success as an affiliate marketer is focus and determination.  Of course, you need to find a profitable niche before you ever begin, but once you do that and have your plan lined out you have to FOCUS.  Try things; test the market.  See what strategies work best for you!  If you have a well designed site or blog centered on your niche and chosen keywords, you can then develop the best methods that work for you to send targeted traffic.  This may be writing articles, blogging, pay-per-click or social media.  When you find something that works, stick to it!

The degree of affiliate marketing success you experience also depends upon the presentation of your information and products.  Do you offer real value to visitors?  Is your content helpful and compelling?  If you appear to be a scammer or only interested in making sales, you probably won’t make many.  If you are a newbie, you might jump from one program or strategy to the next, which is very common and another reason for failure.  Focus on ONE thing, and work hard on it.  Do everything you know how to do to make it work.  Your success as an affiliate requires motivation and determination!  Don’t let anything stand in your way.

Matt’s RANT


It totally amazes me how some many people think that money grows on trees.

I personally wish it did.

Gosh, I’d have more hair and it wouldn’t be so gray.

Here’s a very sad observation:
Even if money did grow on trees. Many people would just sit underneath the tree hoping that the money would drop from the tree and hit them in the hand.

And, many people would not even do anything even if it fell and smacked them in the face.

Tips to Get a Great Source For Traffic


Tips to Get a Great Source For Traffic

Tips to Get a Great Source For Traffic
By Matt Bacak

Outside of PPC and articles are there any sites I can recommend for traffic generation? Actually, yes there are. Besides pay per click and articles, yes there are other things you can do outside of pay per click and articles to generate more traffic to your website. One of the big things that I’ve been doing a lot of is called solo advertising. What this means is that I’m buying solo ads. There are multiple different places you can go to buy solo ads. Let me explain how it works…

Basically, if you’re in the wealth building niche, a solo ad works like this. You go to a site that has lists in various niches. You pay this site money and then they will mail for you. Once they do, you’re able to gain exposure for your site because their list was specifically targeted to your market. A great place to go for purchasing solo ads if you’re in the wealth building niche is SelfGrowth. Go down to the bottom of their home page and you’ll see a place that says Advertising. Click on there and communicate with them. Tell them you’re interested in their solo ads. Find out how much it is to decide if their price is a good fit for your budget.

What you’re going to find is a place called Targeted Solo Ads. Click on Targeted Solo Ads. When you click on the Targeted Solo Ads link, what you want to do is this. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you’ll see various places you can advertise in depending on your niche. So, for internet marketing, for example, there is a thing called Logan. Every time you go here, it’s going to be a different group. But at the time I’m looking at the page in the internet marketing niche, right now I can mail to 182,000 people for $419. Here’s another one – I can mail to 32,000 people for $73. And another I can mail to 17,000 people for $39. Then another option where I can mail to 10,000 for $23… and then another one that allows me to mail to 5,000 people for $13.53. You’re going to find that there are multiple lists that you can market to and advertise to.

Basically, ezines-r-us.com gives you the option of paying them to send out an email promotion that you’ve written. This concept works really well. You just pay them and they mail out for you. You can do whatever it is you want with it after that. But that’s basically how solo advertising works. It’s a great way to get the word out about your product or promotion in a fairly short amount of time. It’s especially good if you’re still building your website.

I’ve got solo ads running all the time for me simply because it’s better than doing joint ventures. It’s so much simpler. Basically, I pay them, they guarantee a mailout for me, instead of me just asking them and hoping that they send out an email for me. It works really well.

Solo advertising is another great strategy that I’m using in conjunction with articles, pay per click, and and joint ventures. Those are pretty much my top four locations to getting high quality traffic. These are also four other options you too can use to generate more traffic for your website.

There are many strategies to making money on the internet, but nothing makes sense unless you have a big list. Email Marketing is the most profitable way to make money on the internet.

big secrets being given away:

Michael Jones put that together, and he told me
that he basically stumbled onto this stuff when
he was running some experiments.

If you know Mike you’ll know he’s a natural
tinkerer…a “what if” guy. “What if we do this,
what if we do that…”

You get the picture.

This time, he’s stumbled onto something
that will probably benefit just about every
marketer in the world.

And you can see it all in that free video.

only for it to be taken away double time.

And then Google slap your site so hard you need to go
down to the cellar to check your placement…

… well not this time.

Matt Bacak’s 2 Top Keys to Affiliate Marketing Success

Matt Bacak became a millionaire before he hit the age of 30 and has been climbing the affiliate marketing treadmill ever sense!  Here are 2 keys to affiliate marketing success he has taught the Bleeding Edge team over the past year and a half.

If you want to become an affiliate marketing success, you must pick a marketing method and stick with it.

Probably the biggest mistake most internet marketers make is to jump from the Twitter plan to the Squidoo plan to the article marketing plan to the pay per click plan to the …next greatest plan of the week.

You don’t learn to count by skipping around from one to three to seven to zero.  You won’t learn how to make money online by skipping around, either.

If you want to become an affiliate marketing success, the best thing to do is to find a method and stick with it until it either brings in a profit, or else you decide for sure that it is simply not for you.

If you want to become an affiliate marketing success, you must devote consistent efforts to your cause.

It really doesn’t even matter how much time you give your project every day (within reason–five minutes won’t work!).  The important thing is that you do something every day that will bring you closer to your goal.

Keep in mind that your mistakes are steps towards your goal, just as your successes are.  These mistakes teach you what not to do (it’s best to learn this kind of thing when  you have less at stake!), help you get a broader view of what you’re doing, and may even teach you a little more about the way the marketing world works.  Just pay attention and even your failures will be successes!

Matt Bacak and Mark Joyner will be hosting the “Survival Tactics for Tough Times” seminar in Atlanta, GA on Dec. 4, 5, and 6.  Visit the seminar website to discover how you can become an internet marketing success.

Matt Bacak’s 5 Tips for an Effective Affiliate Marketing Website

A well built affiliate marketing website can help you increase your affiliate sales dramatically.  While you don’t really have to have a website to sell affiliate products, it’s a good idea if you are really serious about earning a full time income online.  It gives your visitors the impression that you are an expert at your niche, and adds to a professional image.  Here are a few tips for building a profit-pulling website:

1.    Fill your website full of valuable content.  You want to provide your visitors with enough information about the topic to peak their interest, but don’t give away the farm!  Too much information and they don’t need your product or service anymore.

2.    Never LOOK like you are trying to sell to your visitors.  While you do want them to buy your product, it’s essential that you present your information in a way that makes you look sincere; that you truly want to help them solve their problem or dilemma.

3.    Offer free stuff!  A free report or product, especially one that is useful and well written, helps create trustworthiness and lets your visitors know that you provide good information or services.

4.    Collect their information.  You absolutely MUST build a list if you plan on making money for years to come.  Place a form on your affiliate marketing website and ask for your visitors name and email address in exchange for something they will perceive as valuable.

5.    Lead your visitor to the “Buy Now” button!  Visitors often need to be told what to do. Play to your customer’s pain or problem; let them know that you know how they feel. Then, list the benefits of your product, and tell them how it will solve their problem! Instruct them to buy now, and imply an urgency in this – limited time only, special price for a few more hours, etc.

Offer real value, be honest with your potential customers, and HELP them in some way.  You will have loyal customers for life!

Tips on Determining Affiliate Commissions


Tips on Determining Affiliate Commissions

Tips on Determining Affiliate Commissions
By Matt Bacak

Creating a digital product that is easily down-loadable is an excellent concept because it usually involves less overhead and less of your time and can be delivered through an automated process. With this type of product it is not uncommon for affiliate managers to offer up to 60% commission and sometimes more! Now this is fantastic if you are an affiliate because it obviously means more money in your pocket if you decide to market their product. However, the question remains, how can they afford to do this?

Just imagine if you were the one producing that product. How would you feel about giving away half of everything you sold to somebody else that had no input into its creation? 50% commissions are usually the standard and if you offer anything less, you are not going to be very successful trying to convince JV’s and affiliates to market your product, no matter how good it is.

What about hard tangible products? If you get into producing a hard product, there are some real costs involved in doing this. And you may wonder, do I still need to give up half of every sale to each of my partners? The answer is yes. You are going to have to eat all the costs of production.

Even in my case, a lot of people buy my programs at speaking engagements or via teleseminars. But if they were hosted by somebody else other than myself, there is still a 50/50 split. I eat all the costs involved, including travel. What about shipping and handling? A lot of times I personally handle that myself and I eat that as well. But this cost is optional and a lot of people don’t include it. I believe they should but that’s just my perspective.

So, the real question is why do we have to give up so much and cover so many costs? Well, what it all comes down to is, you’re eating the cost but you’re gaining the customer.

The value is in the customer, not in the initial sale. The benefit is now you have somebody that you’re able to work with and sell more to in the future. You could call it the cost of advertising or the cost of doing business. It is no different then what most corporate giants do. They spend a lot of money just to get a few new customers through the door, because they know that once they’ve got you, there is a good chance you will stay with them if they continue to service your needs. Investing in loyalty is always worth the cost.

There are many strategies to making money on the internet, but nothing makes sense unless you have a big list. Email Marketing is the most profitable way to make money on the internet. When you build a list of hot and hungry prospects you control your future. Discover how to use the internet and turn your computer into a cash gushing machine.
