How to get people to your blog

Here's a secret you should know, people will only come to read your blog and continue to receive your posts IF you provide value. You have to provide content that is either interesting, funny, or well-written, thought-provoking CONTENT.

There's that word again... CONTENT. Your sales page is NOT content. It's a sales page. You can find sales pages everywhere you turn. You don't want a sales page. You want to know ME. You want to know who I am, what makes me special, and why you should stay connected with me.

Once you figure those things out, you MIGHT want to see what opportunity I'm working or maybe you don't. But the truth is, you're not going to buy from me if all you see is a sales page.

Sorry if that seems harsh. But you've been told (were you listening?) that people do business with people they know, like and trust. A sales page isn't enough to make me know those things, but it is enough to make me know that if you don't give me more, I WON'T do business with you.

You've got to build your list. With a list, you build trust. With trust between us, you can show me what you're doing and I just might want to try it too.... because I know, like and trust you.

Ways to make money with an affiliate program.

With affiliate programs, you earn commissions by referring customers to a website, where they purchase your products. You will earn percentage commission for every purchase.

1. Use a blog or create a new one for free at sites such as Blogger.com, and post your review of products, including your affiliate link. Then "ping" your blog at a site such as Pingomatic.com, so it gets picked up quickly by search engines.

2. If you have an email list of newsletter subscribers or others who have opted in to receive email offers from you, send them an email telling them about your site, and use some text from your homepage in your email. Include your affiliate link at the end of the email.

3. Write a review of some products, letting people know how good it is. Include your affiliate link at the end of the review. Post your review to multiple free sites usinghttp://www.budurl.com/TheTrafficHut

4. Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising: Using a PPC account from Google Adwords, Overture, or others, you can easily generate income with affiliate programs. You can either send people directly to sites using your affiliate link in your PPC ads, or you can create your own website in which you have a review of our product, followed by your affiliate tracking link. You can quickly create free sites at Yola

5. Every few weeks post a press release at PRweb.com, in which you include your favorable review of your product, along with your affiliate link.

6. Join popular marketing forums such as WarriorForum.com, and make frequent contributions to popular threads there. Be sure to go into your forum profile and edit your "signature". Make a signature that includes your affiliate link, or a link to your own "review" website of your product. That way, every time you make a post, anyone who sees it will see your signature and potentially click on your affiliate link.

From our experience, you will get the best results from writing your own product reviews, even if it's short. You don't have to be a good writer. Just write what you really think about the product. When you publish your product review, use your general affiliate link to send users to your website.

You will have much better conversion if you'll put your visitors into pre-sold mood before sending them to your site. This means that you build interest in the product and the visitor has decided to potentially buy it after he reads your product review.

Choose from various types of product descriptions, experiment with short or long, try to find perfect combination with banners.

Try to think like your visitor, when she comes to your page with review or affiliate links, you should draw her attention, build curiosity or feeling that she might need this kind of solution.

You can xperiment with reviews, text links, or different banners. Keep those that bring good results, and change the others. Sometimes only changing a few words or color of link can mean difference.

Using these methods, you can quickly begin to earn money online now.
