And Affiliate Marketing has not been ignored in this process either.

The classic mistake people often make in affiliate marketing is not capturing the details of their enquirer first, before sending their visitors to the merchant’s website.

Most smart marketers create their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt into their list, before sending them to the website they are an affiliate for.

However, a few but exceptionally smart marketers, on the other hand, take this to the next level.

They implement VIDEO MARKETING, within their SQUEEZE PAGES

Without question -

VIDEOS CAN SKYROCKET YOUR TRAFFIC AND SALES CONVERSIONS!

Unfortunately, the problem with video marketing is that to begin with, you have to know how to make your own videos.

And, even if you could do your own videos, what if you learn that the affiliate program doesn’t convert that well for you after all?

Affiliate Power Videos remove all these barriers.

At Affiliate Power Videos, you get 10 unique, high converting Video Squeeze Pages, and 5 new ones every month.

So all you have to do is:

Step 1: Join any or all of the listed affiliate programs (free).

Step 2: Upload the video and squeeze pages to your web host.

Step 3: Start driving in traffic, build your opt-in list and rake in affiliate sales!

You could be thinking that this is going to be a costly monthly membership. But you are going to be in for a pleasant surprise — this one’s on the house (read: zero cost)!

Sign up for your free Silver Membership access now and don’t delay - because I know you could very well have your own string of affiliate video businesses up and running by tonight, with or without any techical experience on your part!

Have you been trying for far too long to make money with your blog without success, then listen up. If you had the opportunity to learn from  experts who have trained people like yourself for many years and have a string of success stories to their names would you snatch it with both hands?

No matter your previous experience. Whether beginner, or you have been around for a while, if you have a desire to make money online their primary goal is to have you make money from Day 1.

The 5 areas of focus are:

1 Mindset: a very impotant aspect not often understood. Are you actually ready for success.

2 Content: the old chestnut ‘content is king’. Very true but it must get people talking, creating backlinks and have the search engines crawling all over you.

3. Traffic: learn the techniques the pros use no matter the subject matter of your blog. Keep up to date with search engine techniques, social marketing, networking, linking and more.

4. Monetization: capitalise on your blogs new found popularity.

5. Technical: Ever been phased by all the ‘techie’ stuff? How about some non-geeky training videos accompanied with text and audio to ease your learning curve and take away your fear.

Authority Site Center of which I am a long standing member is about to be morphed into BlogSuccess. I can highly recommend you take a look as it could be one of the most important steps in your online life and lead you to your personal goals of success.

When the blogosphere exploded in 2006/07, thousands of blogs were being created every single day, with overworked individuals hoping to cash in on the trend and be a “work-at-home blogger”. The hype was high, but the problem was that most bloggers wanted to get paid immediately.

The blogosphere responded to these needs, with companies like PayPerPost.com leading the paid-to-blog industry. Early on, blogging for the purposes of making money received a lot of criticism from big-name bloggers, but eventually people started accepting paid blogging as a viable, honest way to make a living online.

As time went by, more paid blogging companies sprung up, including ReviewMe.com and SponsoredReviews.com - taking the stand of offering “honest” and “unbiased” reviews. At the moment there are no fewer than 20 paid blogging companies you can sign-up with and make money from.

When you sign-up for a company, you’re required to submit your blog details, so make sure you have a blog up and running with at least 30 days worth of acceptable content. After you’ve submitted your details, your blog will be reviewed and approved.

Then, you can search the company’s marketplace for “opportunities”, which are basically listings created by businesses who want you to blog about their product or service. When you find a suitable opportunity, you can use the information provided (take note of the requirements too) and blog about it. When you’re done, report back to the listing and you get paid whatever amount of money the advertiser has promised.

Now of course, the companies that offer these paid blogging services also take their cut, which is anywhere from 30-50%. The rest is paid to you after you reach a certain payout limit.

So how much can you expect to make from paid blogging?

Typically, you can earn a few hundred dollars a month by writing 1-2 blog posts a day. Since these blog posts aren’t too long and all the information is already provided, it’s pretty easy to do that. Once your blog picks up more traffic, it gets re-evaluated and you can start charging more for writing the exact same content.

The leaders in the paid blogging industry make a few thousands dollars a month, enough to make a comfortable full-time income on the Internet. Plus, they are free to work whenever they want, wherever they want. This is why paid blogging is so appealing - with little skill or technical knowledge, any ordinary person can make money from blogs right from the start.

Among other things, he gives you a complete step-by-step guide to paid blogging, and a list of useful resources you can use to kickstart your blogging and make more money with less time and effort.

If you have ever taken an Internet Marketing course or attended a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard about the two different methodologies. Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.

I’ll be frank; you want to be the expert.

Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven’t established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc… experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.

Most Bloggers Are Reporters

The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).

There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.

Don’t Replicate Your Teacher

If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet Marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people first study Internet marketing from a “guru” (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online.

The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet Marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it’s next to impossible to succeed.

Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it’s fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet Marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation.

How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet Marketing. It’s a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let’s face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.

If the key is to become an expert and you haven’t spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.

Report on Your Process, Not Others

The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people’s work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog.

It’s okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a technique from an expert it’s fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there’s. Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don’t regurgitate what the expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.

Expertise comes from doing things most people don’t do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did.

You Are Already An Expert

Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don’t leverage what they already know. Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience.

Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear.

Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven’t much hope of becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.

Reporting Is A Stepping Stone

If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from “scratch”, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.

Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again.

Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it’s okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that’s all most experts really are.

As blogging and in particular blogging for profit becomes ever more popular amongst online entrepreneurs, we’re seeing new tools developed to assist in this process being released, what seems like every week.

In this post I’m going to talk about one such tool, Firepow Blogging Software, because I believe it might just be a cut above the rest in terms of it’s flexibility of use, and overall effectiveness in accomplishing the three primary aims of blogging - creating a blog, managing it or maintaining it, and getting traffic to it.

It was hard to know where to start with this post because there are so many individual features of this software that could be mentioned.

However, to give you a brief overview of how it works…

Firepow is based on the popular Wordpress platform, and allows a user to install a fully customized and functioning wordpress blog with a few clicks of the mouse.

If you’ve used Wordpress before, you’ll know that one of the best things about it is it’s ability to be enhanced by third party plugins. You’ll also know that it’s not hard to get lost in all the plugins and potential feature additions that can be made.

The first great thing about Firepow from my point of view is that they have done the plugin work for you. The best 50 or so plugins from around the web have been programmed into the software so as to be automatically installed at the same time as your blog.

That alone is a good feature, but it’s even better when you consider that while these plugins normally require manual fiddling to get installed, tweaks made to your theme CSS code and more - the software actually does that part for you too - so you click the button, and you have the function of that plugin added - a great time saver!

The “Create” part of the process is also helped by the ability to create your own custom wordpress theme completely from scratch, with more functionality than we’ve seen from free theme generators ever before - not to mention the ability to create your own categories from scratch, automatically create the perfect permalink structure for SEO, and more.

Before even getting into the Wordpress panel of the site Firepow creates, you’ve also got a site management tab where all your blogs can be managed from one place, an SEO tracking tool to monitor the search rankings of all your sites, and a task manager that tells you what needs to be done to maintain your blogs and when.

I dare say though, that the best things happen once you’re actually in the blog.

Here, you have features to make your post content even better, easily being able to add relevant images, videos, or trackbacks (automatically building backlinks to your site) to your posts… and that’s not all.

Or the ability to monitor your blogs success, like being able to split test the results of different posts, monitor your traffic through in depth reporting (utilizing Google analytics), monitoring your search spider activity, the popularity of your posts, the terms people are searching on your site, and more still.

Sorry, I feel like I’m going over the top in this post but I can assure you even with everything you’ve read here, I haven’t really scratched the surface of what’s going on inside this thing called Firepow - I didn’t even get to tell you about the promotional tools.

The best thing to do is take a look yourself:

Oh and I could also tell you that if your into blogging and you don’t, you’ll probably regret it big time.

I hope you’ve found the information here valuable, and don’t hesitate to leave your comments on Firepow here to share with others.
