Some Affiliate Training lesson 3

Lesson 3

Okay, in the lesson I'm going to take a look at the very beginning. At the time of writing this entry I have not 'promoted' GanoBrand other than introducing it on Twitter via @coffee2u and adding other marketing tools to prepare for promoting it.

I have 1 downline member (cheers Tom!)and the beginnings of a blog (this one). I am starting from scratch and explaining what I do along the way to build up a downline and generate a micro community around this range of products centered around Healthy Coffee.

Ingredients so far:

Step 1. Find a Product you want to sell.

Step 2. Create a Blog, in this case I am using blogger's blogspot, a free service owned by Google. The address (URL) is here: http://ilovegano.blogspot.com Keep note of this address for the next step.

Step 3. Create a Twitter account try and think of a twitter name that is connected to the product for example I was lucky to get @coffee2u, try different names until you get a name you are happy with, that is not too long. My twitter URL is: http://www.twitter.com/coffee2u

So in this lesson: you are getting three things organized - You have decided on a product, you are creating a blog, which is your main website to bring people BEFORE you send them anywhere else (this is an important point, especially if you are an Affiliate Marketer). You are also creating a twitter account, which is your first marketing tool, as it is a way to connect to a group of people very quickly, these people don't need to be targeted traffic to begin with, simply familiarize/customize your twitter account to match your blog account, and follow some people that look like they will follow back that are in a similar niche to your product, building up a base of random follows can also lead to meeting different kinds of people.

When you tweet don't just add all links to products, chat to people, unlike most I recommend using a brand picture rather than your face if you are focusing more on the product sales than the social aspect, this makes it clear you are selling something not 'pretending' to socialize, you are clearly there for a mixture of purposes and people will come to expect the commercial posts, I'd made about 1 in every 5 posts a commercial post/directly related to the product, but of course if you are in the middle on a conversation you don't stop and add your advert quota! it's just a general guideline, to keep you focused on the reason for the account - the product you are selling.

Look for some other people using brand images to chat to, this may ease you into chatting in a mixture of marketing and social situations rather than pitching your product like a parrot!. This way you can have a mixture of social chat and product plugs aren't plonked in the middle of a social exchange, your followers will then know that you sell items, know you have a business to run/part of your job, and they can still get to chat with the real person in between your generic product posts.

Remember to go into settings on Twitter and add your blog URL, it will show up on your profile - this is a direct link back to your blog and you want to get people to your blog in the next lesson I will explain why. Invite people to click on the link to visit your blog in the bio section.

Friends for Sale - Buy me!

UPDATE: friends for sale is no longer with us - ADIOS AMIGOS!



You ever wanted your own internet marketing "pet" ?

http://apps.facebook.com/friendsforsale/users/show/11059

I'll be your dawg! - you are cordially invited to buy me (for a bit of fun) on facebook's "Friends For sale" - I already have some tasty morsels of my own on there including Marlon Sanders, Cody Moya & Mark Joyner to name a few :)

Update there is a forum all about friends for sale - I'll probabley join up their too soon :)

http://www.friendsforsale.net/


you'll notice I have a subscription invitation to join my youtube channel on there too - as i just found out you can add html on your 'friends for sale' profile - which is cool for a bit of self promotion or if you have a blog you want people to visit or a youtube channel etc ? - as long as it doesn't get abused by idiots for spam - it's a handy little piece of knowledge - I've personally added youtube because I want to make use of video for this "preselling" thing I read about - doing videos reminds me a bit of drama class at school, which i really used to like - so if you see me rolling about on the virtual floor or flapping my arms about pointlessly - i am probably just trying to focus or take my mind back to those school days to remember what I liked about it

- once i start making sense abit more I might get practical and flog some junk on gumtree and / or ebay - just personal stuff as practice - I man there is no point in me trying to go self employed again until I've got something going on is there ?

I'm sure i could make money without the grand a month I was ment to be getting to help me get going - i just have to think FCUK the bullshitter(s) and try it with no money - very slowly if neccessary - I mean I dragged it out for 7 years now another 7 here or there ain't gonna make much diference now - unless i die or the world explodes - either way it won't matter at all then....

So yeah buy me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
