Promote Clickbank Products through Free Article Postings

I referred last time to the fact that there is a way to promote Clickbank products without buying Adwords ads. In fact there are several ways. 1) Put links on your own website (problem here is getting traffic to your site) 2) Buy ads from somewhere else (okay - this is taking the statement LITERALLY about not buying adwords ads…) 3) Use article directories and free classified listings. This last option is probably the lowest entry level threshold. You don’t need your own website, money or much more than an email address and time to write articles.

Clickbank and Adwords is it a Scam?

A while back I did an experiment with Clickbank and Adwords. The idea was to place ads on Adwords for products int he Clickbank catalog. The ads would be relatively cheap and I could convert referrals to the Clickbank products which would bring in $30 or more each (adword ads could be had as low as several cents.) There are lots of people that have made this work, it’s like setting up money machines right? Well, I’ll tell you that at first it seemed like a scam of the worst order. I was spending a lot of money on ads and no conversions. Then I started improving my ad copy.

Getting web traffic through Article Submissions

I’ve talked before about how web traffic is really THE secret to making money online. No matter what your business model is, if you don’t have traffic you don’t 1)sell product, 2)sell ads, 3)refer to affiliate programs, 4)have anybody to click ads 5)generate leads …etc etc. Anyway, article writing and submission is something that is a bit hard to do. We’re 100% putting energy into OUR OWN sites, why do we need to post articles on someone ELSE’s site? (Answer: because you don’t get enough traffic on YOUR OWN site!) So, what are some of the good article directories?

Earn Money Taking Paid Surveys

I’ve seen a number of sites that charge you a “subscription” of as much as $40 a month or so to give you information on survey opportunities online. Now, frankly existing for the sole purpose of filling out surveys online, doesn’t appeal greatly to me. But, if you need a bit of extra money it could be worthwhile. I have found a site though, that will connect you to service for FREE… surveylot.com Just starting to take a look today as I write this, but it looks like there’s some potential here to pick up a few extra dollars.

Fighting Ad Blindness

If you have a website that sells adspace, or has text ads you’ve probably heard the term “ad blindness”. (If you haven’t heard it you should think about the concept.) The idea is that people regularly seeing ads ultimately become desensitized to them and “tune them out”. In terms of web pages that means they may ignore entire sections of the page, text in certain colors, whatever appears to their experience to be an advertisement. I’ve even known people to miss out on page navigation if it’s on the right hand side of the page because they are just used to ads being over there and don’t pay attention to that area (we may explore that idea a bit more later….)

What kinds of things can be done to fight ad blindness?

Strange Problem with Google Analytics Code

Does anyone have any clue why when I insert either the legacy urchin code, or the newer google analytics code into this site there is a “shield” of sorts over the first page and a half (scrolling). You can’t click on ANY links. It’s as though there is an object superimposed over the page.

Strange!

For the meantime I’ve disabled the google analytics. For reference. I tried a different theme for the site (which matches that of another site of mine.) Interestingly I got the same result, so I looked at THAT site to see if it was having the problem and it isn’t. Maybe it’s an interaction with the newer style adsense ads?

Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused. (I know it was an issue with firefox - I don’t know if the same happened with other browsers.)

Confidence - Don’t Dwell on the Negative

I keep returning to the idea of confidence. I think it’s a VERY important point. Successful people exude self confidence. Failures are not the end of the story, they are what lead to success. 401K statements are going to be coming out soon for many people and unfortunately I suspect that may change peoples outlook on the economy. I was talking to someone the other day that said they had cash saved aside for a vacation, but with all the bad economic news they thought they might better wait. They had the money to do it, but their lack of confidence in the economy was making them reconsider. I asked what they thought would happen if EVERYONE did the same, things become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Where am I going with this?

Keep calm when others panic

I saw an interesting article in mid-September. It was about the time the stock markets were in great turmoil. Lehman brothers had just declared bankruptcy and there were panics over what was next. All sort of panic selling ensued and the government stepped in with liquidity to calm the panic. However…. this article talked about Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway. It talked about the purchases they were making. Now some might say “didn’t they get the memo - everything is tanking - sell sell sell.” But…
