How many schemes have you seen before that promise you millions made without a dime of investment or an hour of work?
Every time I see another internet scam or " look alike" I'm reminded of countless times fiends would invite me over to their house after work for some sort of gathering or "product party" These programs and the myriad of other "GET RICH QUICK" or "BE YOUR OWN BOSS" tactics just didn't work for me. It didn't for work any of my friends either.
What does hold promise is affiliate marketing. No phone calls, no downline, no pressure. There are some things to avoid though, and it helps to have some assistance when you are just starting out. For instance, you can buy a lot of pricey ebooks out there that attempt to cover the subject, I know I did!
All that happened was I bought too many ebooks, spent way too much money I did not have to waste and spent too much time reading them all to gather a minimum of useful information. I was led around in circles, never finding a clear path, and there was nobody available to answer my questions when I had them. It was like they were hinting at the secrets of "how to"! What's your experience been like?
The Rich Jerk has a book too, and I'll be the first to admit I was a hardened skeptic to all of this by the time I picked it up. Instead of repeating my prior experiences, here's what I found.
The Rich Jerk is NOT a bible....it's around 50 pages or so. It is a no fluff, full of powerful and proven useful tactics. I actually discovered it by accident, and almost did not give it a chance. I had been frustrated up to this point. What got me started had nothing to do with the ebook's guarantee, but the lack of sales glitz surrounding it. Sort of begged for attention. Plus it was short.
Surprisingly simple, I finished it quickly and was amazed it could be put into practical use without long hours of tedious labor. I already had a job like that! Many of the chapters held topics and hints that were new to me, not found in the gajillion pages I had stumbled through in the other ebooks. If only I'd read The Rich Jerk first ! I could have already been making lots of money!!
Naturally, I had to prove to myself that The Rich Jerk was as good as it seemed to be. I "baited" their email support, thinking I'd find their Achilles heel there! Not so. My "bait" consisted of 20 + thoughtful questions to reveal a weak customer support function. The old sell and run tactic you see everywhere in business today. It took only a couple days to receive several pages of well directed, clear answers that were very helpful!
I'm still on the learning curve of course, but that's to be expected with something worthwhile like this. The Rich Jerk contains basics like:
* Creating an affiliate website that directs meaningful traffic and really converts!
* Creative Search Engine Pay Per Click (PPC) Strategies
* Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Strategies
* Selling Your Own Informational Products
* Buying Wholesale and selling on Ebay
Some added pluses:
* Supplemental Information for beginners...for once there is attention and help when you need it most
* Personally Recommended Products and Services....a HUGE benefit because otherwise you have a huge amount of sifting to do alone.
* Low cost ideas and some free ones as well.....helped me get started with a small budget and limited time.
So I've just touched the tip of the iceberg. Do a deep dive, check it out yourself, because later the deep dive will be in your deep pockets! If you want to start an on line business, or improve the one you have going, I'd highly recommend The Rich Jerk.

Click Happy Adsense Keywords Exposed
Many people sell expensive lists of keywords that are supposed to
make you tons of cash for each click. Before you run out and buy
one of those keyword lists, I want to ask you a question.
Would you rather buy a list of keywords that pays you $25 per
click, but only get you 1 click a day ($25 profit per day), or
would you rather get a free list of click happy keywords that you
can easily find yourself and get paid $4 a click, but get 50
clicks a day ($200 profit per day)?
Of course you want the click happy keyword list. Anyone would
pick $200 a day profit over $25 a day profit! So, exactly what is
a click happy keyword?
A click happy keyword is a keyword that will cause someone to
click based on emotions that that keyword causes. Emotions like
fear, anger, greed, disgust, sadness, and more are all emotions
that will drive people to click like crazy. People look for
answers when they feel an emotion.
When an over weight person is made fun of, and they go home to
their computer and look for a weight loss solution, they go to
their favorite search engine, and start clicking.
When a child comes home with lice a panicked mother will jump
online and try to find a quick solution to get rid of the lice on
her child. She will become click happy in her panic to find some
instant solution.
By finding click happy keywords and building your site around
them, you can tap into these click happy people. You can take a
keyword that only pays you $4 a click, and make it make you more
money than any other keyword you would get off of some list of
high paying keywords.
Finding these click happy keywords is super easy and will take
you no time. I simply open up my favorite keyword research tool,
and type in some of the following words.
Easy
Quick
Create
Prevent
Fix
Relief
Instant
There are literally hundreds of these words. Now I'd take one of
these words, and plug it in to my keyword research software. For
example, when I do research for the keyword prevent I see a good
click happy keyword phrase which is "prevent hangover".
If you've ever had a bad hangover, you know that you would do
anything to get rid of it. Don't you think that someone suffering
from a hangover wants the prevention fast and is going to click
like crazy until they find their answer? Of course they are, and
that's why finding these click happy keywords is so profitable.
The key to really using the power of click happy keywords is to
make sure that you only provide enough content on your site to
send these click happy visitors clicking off your site via one of
your Adsense ads or affiliate links. You then make these click
happy visitors profitable to you.
Start searching today for these click happy keywords, and you'll
never again have to worry about spending a lot of money on those
high paying keyword lists that will keep you making less money.

optimization, keyword research or expensive software to make easy

The Different Types Of Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing programs have never been as popular as they are today. Why? There are quite a few reasons. The most probable reason, however, could be the fact that the benefits of affiliate marketing have become clearer to a lot of people now than they were before.
Today, both the merchants and the affiliates can see clearly that affiliate marketing can work for both of them. The merchant sees affiliate marketing today as the chance to advertise their products at a lower cost. The affiliates, on the other hand, sees affiliate marketing as an easy way of earning profits online by doing what they like most, and that is by creating websites.
Just as the popularity of affiliate marketing has shifted into greater heights, so has the people's outlook about it changed. No longer is affiliate marketing considered today as an alternative method for the merchant to advertise his products, or as a source of additional income for the affiliates. For merchants and affiliates alike, affiliate marketing is now considered as a main source of profits and revenues.
So the question now is what type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? Are all affiliate marketing programs the same? Are the benefits the same? Or are there affiliate marketing programs that work better than the others?
There are actually different types or classes of affiliate marketing, and the number of types will depend on how one will classify them. The most basic affiliate marketing programs, however, falls under two categories: pay-per-click (PPC), and pay-per-performance (PPP).
• Pay Per Click (PPC)
PPC is the most popular type of affiliate marketing for affiliates with small websites, and probably the easiest way for them to earn money. In this affiliate marketing type, the merchant pays his affiliate whenever a visitor is referred to his site, that is whenever someone clicks through the merchant's banner or text ads. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount even if the visitor he referred does not purchase anything from the merchant's site. However, typical fees for PPC affiliate programs are small, usually not exceeding a dollar for every click.
• Pay Per Performance (PPP)
PPP affiliate marketing is the most popular among merchant and is also the most lucrative type for the affiliates. In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral translates into an action—that is whenever the visitor he has referred actually buys something from the merchant's site or when the visitor becomes a lead. This means a lot of savings for the merchant. On the other hand, it becomes the most lucrative type for the dedicated affiliate, for commissions in PPP affiliate marketing usually comes in the range of 15% to 20% of the actual product sales.
Pay-per-performance affiliate marketing can be further classified into two popular types: pay-per-sales (PPS) and pay-per-lead (PPL).
o Pay Per Sale (PPS)
In a pay-per-sale type of affiliate marketing, the merchants pay the affiliate a certain fee whenever the visitor he has referred to the merchant's site actually buys something from the merchant's site. Affiliates are often paid on commission basis, although other merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee. But no matter what the basis of the fee is, it is generally higher than the fee paid to affiliates in a pay-per-click affiliate program.
o Pay Per Lead (PPL)
The pay-per-lead type of affiliate marketing is a slight variation of the PPS type and is often used by insurance and finance companies and other companies who rely on leads for their company to grow. In this type of affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever the visitor he referred to the merchant's site fills up an application form or any similar form related to the business of the company. Compensation for this type of affiliate marketing is based on a fixed fee whose rates approximate that of the fixed fee in the PPS type.
Aside from these three specific types of affiliate marketing, a lot of other affiliate marketing types exist. If the classification is based on the depth of the affiliate network, it can be classified as single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier affiliate marketing. There is also another type of affiliate marketing that pays the affiliate each time the customer he has referred purchases something from the merchant's site.
• Single-Tier, Two-Tier, and Multi-Tier Affiliate Marketing
These types of affiliate marketing are based on the different levels or tiers in the affiliate network by which payments are made. In a single-tier affiliate marketing program, the affiliates are only paid based on the direct sales or traffic he has referred to the merchant. All the previously mentioned affiliate marketing types (i.e. PPS< PPL, and PPC) fall under the single-tier classification.
• In two-tier affiliate marketing programs, the affiliate is not only paid for the direct traffic or sales that he refers to the merchant's site, but also on every traffic or sales referred by various other affiliates who joined the affiliate program through his recommendation. Multi-tier affiliate marketing works the same way, although the affiliate gets additional commission for a wider number of affiliates in different tiers in the affiliate network.
• Residual Income Affiliate Marketing
In residual income affiliate marketing, the affiliate gets paid not only once for every customer he has referred to the merchant's site. Rather, the affiliate is also paid whenever the customer he has referred returns to the site and purchase another product. Compensation for such type of affiliate marketing is based on either sales percentage commission or fixed fee basis.
The different affiliate marketing types would virtually work differently for merchants and affiliates alike, and each would generally have their own list of benefits. Which type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? It is not really for me to tell. Rather, it is for you to choose which type of affiliate marketing program will suit your needs and characteristics best.
