Affiliate marketing is to refer prospects to other people’s product or service and to receive commission. If you want to receive a decent commission to make your living from your activity you must build your own mailing list of prospects.
You have to spend your time and efforts to set up the foundation of your online venture by building a mailing list of hungry buyers. When you find out a new product or service to endorse you just send an email to your list and wait to see the money rolls….
However many affiliates are not making money as easy as stated from the joined affiliate programs. They scatter their efforts on non productive methods.
During the mailing list building you will develop a relationship with your subscribers so that they will trust in you because you give them an expert opinion about the products and services you promote. Your list is now responsive so that you can make affiliate sales within the few hours after you have sent your message.
You continue to invest your time and efforts to grow and to take up-to-date your mailing list. Take care to build a double opt-in list to avoid SPAM complaints.
If you want be part of the affiliate marketers who make their living online, you must build your own, huge and responsive mailing list of prospects. This is best imaginable affiliate marketing method to have your own list of potential buyers.

Your Next PPC Successful Campaign Part-2
You are said many times to focus the #1 position during a PPC Campaign. Edwin Huertas form ETR notes that it’s better and less expensive to rank at the second, third, forth and even fifth position on the first search engine page. I’d like to share his experience with you in the following article.

Go for "Bronze" With Your PPC Campaign Part -2
By Edwin Huertas
I have been running PPC campaigns for 10+ years now - and I have found that many people click on the ad in the first position simply because it is the first one available. But once they rule it out, they return to the search results page to click on other, potentially more relevant, ads.
A few points to consider:
1. Bidding for the first position means you will be paying a much higher click rate than your competitors. But bidding for positions three through seven (on the first page) can significantly reduce your overall PPC cost, while still delivering good quality traffic. You won't get as much traffic, but you will be paying a lot less for your click-thrus - which will result in a lower CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) rate.
2. When people click on the ad in the top spot, they usually do so simply because it's their first option. But when they click on an ad in the lower positions, it's after carefully reading the message and determining that it's relevant to their search.
I would rather be in the fifth position converting at 25 percent than in the first position converting at 10 percent. Yes, even if it means less traffic to my Web page. The difference in most cases will not be enough to change my bid to the #1 position.
3. As I said, people almost automatically click on the ad in the #1 spot first - but they're not likely to accept the first choice offered to them. They will go back to the search results page to check out other ads - after they've already spent your click-thru money!
Do your own research and calculations. Look at your conversions and decide for yourself what the right position should be for your ads. But remember that aiming for #1 isn't necessarily the way to go. You will burn through your PPC budget much faster, and you'll find that the quality of the traffic isn't so much better that it offsets the cost of the higher position.
Aiming for the third, fourth, or fifth position is much less expensive, and chances are good that you'll end up with better, more targeted traffic - and far more sales.
[Ed. Note: Pay-per-click advertising is one of the easiest, most cost-effective methods of attracting traffic to your site and ample up your sales. For a step-by-step playbook to making money on the Web, pick up a copy of ETR's Internet Money Club Independent Learner's Edition right here.]

Go for "Bronze" With Your PPC Campaign Part-1
By Edwin Huertas
One of the quickest ways to start getting quality search engine traffic to your website is to launch a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign. But that traffic is pretty worthless if it's not adding more dollars to your bottom line.
If you are promoting your website via search engine PPC ads, you know how perplexing it can be to create a campaign that converts traffic into sales. But I'm guessing that no matter what you're doing to try to improve your conversion rate, you are still trying to get your ad to appear in the #1 spot in the search engine results.
The #1 position is highly regarded as the "gold standard" in search engine marketing. That's because having your ad at the #1 paid position will bring in the most traffic. And traffic, in the Internet world, is your ticket to more sales.
But the traffic-generating power of that top spot may keep you from making money.
Take a minute to ask yourself two questions:
Question #1: Will the top spot really send you the best-quality traffic?
Question #2: Will this traffic convert into sales better than having your ad in the third or fifth position?
I say NO!
Now what I'm about to tell you might be contrary to what you'll hear from many so-called PPC "experts," but I speak from personal experience. They claim the traffic from first position ads is always better. I completely disagree.
Here's why...
As ETR's Search Engine Marketing Specialist, I look at analytics (website traffic reports) every day. And something I always examine is where on the site surfers are clicking and what they are clicking on. This way, I can spot trends and determine which types of on-site advertisements are working and which are not.
One thing I've noticed is that people tend to click on links and photos that are positioned right in front of them.
You might be thinking, "Perfect! That's exactly why I try so hard to get my PPC ad in the top spot!"
Well, you might get lots of clicks in the top spot - which results in more traffic. But it doesn't necessarily result in more sales. In fact, I've noticed that my conversion rates have always been lower when I advertise at the first position as opposed to the third or fourth position.
Let's say you have the top spot on Google for your home brewery kit. When Web users click on your ad, it takes them to a landing page you've set up to sell the kit. Many users are going to look briefly at that landing page... then click their back button to look at the other choices on the search engine results page.
They'll keep returning to the results page and narrowing their search until they find exactly what they're looking for.
