First – Look for Fanatics
If you want your membership business to be profitable, you have to find a marketing with fanatics in it.

Traffic is King, but this comes FIRST
Let’s talk about some powerful ways to get free and automated traffic coming to your website.
Before we begin
Keyword research is really the first step in getting traffic to your website. The reason this is so important is that you are going to be building content and traffic sources for specific keywords. So you need to make sure the keywords you’re targeting are worth targeting.
Here are the important considerations for your research:
- Will you be able to rank for these keywords? Take a look at the “strength” of others websites (and how many) are already targeting these keywords.
- Are these “buying” keywords? Certain keywords are good for generating a lot of visitors who don’t buy anything. What you want is buyers!
- Will these keywords bring affiliates? Generating your own customers is great – having other people do it for you is even better. So make sure you are also targeting keywords to attract affiliates. Read the rest of this entry »
Affiliate Marketing Secrets
Secrets of Affiliate Marketing
One of the easiest and fastest way to earn a living online is through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they do everything else! (make the product, design the sale page, handle the billing and support, etc.), and you keep 50% or more of the sales
Here’s just a few benefits
- You’re able to start right now without having to develop a product, write the sales page, develop the website, create marketing materials, or get a merchant account and CRM.
- There’s zero time investment on your part because the product owner does all the hard work of support, maintenance and billing.

Posted by Bob Ricca
Ever since we made the move to our new office, I’ve found myself really cherishing each morning — not only because our office literally feels like home (Eric and I are quite the decorators), but because as part of my morning routine, I get to check out what’s going on in the design community and what our customers are doing with their email designs.
To start my day, I:
- Water the flowers outside my office.
- Grab a hot cup of coffee.
- Catch up on my RSS feeds.
- Surf Twitter to see what cool stuff AWeber customers have been sending out.
Today, I’d like to give a subtle nod to some customers who put together awesomely designed newsletters: Read the rest of this entry »
ShareEarn With Your Blog While Traveling The World
We all wish that we could do more travel, yet it’s always something that we end up limiting because of work commitments. With most jobs offering anything from 2-4 weeks per year of travel time, it’s just not possible to make long-term travel a possibility when you’re working a day job. While this creates massive amounts of stress and frustration for many 9-5ers, it’s not the only option. By creating an online income through blogging, you can live in any location you want, and earn a highly lucrative online income at the same time.
How is this possible? It’s simple really, by taking your blogging business on the road you can actually save money compared to staying at home. When you’re at home living in an expensive western country, you’re spending many times what you would living somewhere warm and exotic in the developing world. Instead of spending $2000 per month to rent a cramped apartment in your city, you could be spending $1000 on a beautiful villa in a developing country such as Thailand, Costa Rica, or many others.

ShareViral Videos For List Building!
All experienced marketers know the old adage that “the money is in the list “.Network marketers have developed contact lists in many different ways over the years. Generally a sign up form is offered with a free giveaway. Someone simply fills out the form with a name and e-mail address to “opt in” to the autoresponder and the free giveaway is provided to them. In return for that, they generally understand that they have granted permission for whoever made the offer to follow up with other e-mails with other offers.
Several years ago the singular e-mail opt-in was taken a step further when software was developed that asked the first recipient to forward the offer to 4-5 of there friends in order to qualify for the free giveaway, or perhaps even a very low priced offering. Hence, list building became viral, meaning that a single e-mail to a single individual could be multiplied in a near exponential manner as each level of opt-ins continued to forward the offer to even more people.
