Article by Fat Jack

When it comes to affiliate marketing, many people are involved on the affiliate end, rather than the merchant end. However, a growing number of average folks are establishing e-commerce websites, where they are selling their own line of products or services. If you are one of these people, think about the marketing options available to you. Search engines, pay-per-clicks and e-mail marketing…each of which, while effective, can cost you a lot of time and money. Why not let other people use these means to promote your website for you? If you think this is a good idea and decide to act upon it, you would be engaging in the merchant end of affiliate marketing.

On the merchant end of affiliate marketing, you have control over what your affiliates can promote and how they get paid. Most merchants pay when a sale or lead has commenced, though there are pay-per-click and pay-per-impression affiliate programs available. The latter two are recommended if you are looking to build traffic quickly, though you should make sure that your affiliates don’t use unethical, black-hat techniques to draw traffic to your website. In either case you can further reward your affiliates by offering payment in a system of tiers. Tiers could be used if an affiliate has reached a certain threshold of products sold or leads generated. They could also be used to reward affiliates who are able to get new affiliates to sign up for your program. Additional rewards can be provided through individualized commission rates, where you can give your higher-producing affiliates the opportunity to earn more money for themselves and your business.

How do you get started with the merchant side of affiliate marketing? You could buy affiliate marketing scripts, though if you do not have sufficient knowledge of HTML Javascript don’t bother. Another option is signing up with an affiliate marketing service such as Commission Junction. The advantage with this is that the service takes care of managing your affiliate program for you, along with the payments but it could take hundreds of dollars to get started. The best way to go about the merchant end of affiliate marketing is to find a web host that provides affiliate marketing tools within its account manager. Frontier Power Hosting, a premier hosting service used by Internet gurus such as Jim Edwards and Armand Morin, offers affiliate marketing tools to its customers at no additional cost.

Once you have gotten your affiliate program set up, it’s time to look for affiliates. The quickest way to do this is to advertise your affiliate opportunity in Internet marketing forums. However, keep in mind that the field of affiliate marketing is very competitive… you must offer rates and/or special incentives that separate you from another merchant. You will also have to prove that you will pay, something that affiliates won’t know about until they actually work with you. To increase the confidence of potential affiliate marketing candidates, consider signing up for the Better Business Bureau. Through this company, your business will be evaluated periodically. As long as you do the right thing, they will give you a good rating, something that is very attractive to both future customers and affiliate marketers.

Article by Dean Hambleton

SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY AND BRANDING: HOW DID ALFRED SLOAN CREATE A SOCIAL MEDIA BRAND AT GM IN THE 1920’S?

Alfred Sloan, of GM, invented market segmentation and differentiation, in the 1920’s, to create a brand in the automobile market. Quickly, this brand overtook the Ford Model T, and became the leading car brand in 1920 America. At the time this happened, the Ford Model T had a market dominance that was seen to be insurmountable. Sloan was able to create his brand through the wise use of the social media that was available at the time. At this point, it is imperative that we define the word “social media”. We have to understand this term to understand how Sloan created his brand, and to draw analogies for our day. A key word is the word “media”. Media has the connotation of sharing and communicating information. A definition could be the set of Web-based broadcast technologies that enable the democratization of content. This gives people the ability to attain content from publishers, enlarge on the content, and to create new content. A key component of social media is the personal engagement between brands and customers—the creation of a friendship. Naturally, Sloan didn’t have the social media platforms that we have today to communicate. To create his brand, Sloan did communicate and engage. He went to dealerships. He talked to salespeople and to citizens. Modern marketers use social media platforms to communicate. Sloan became the social platform by which brands and customers communicated to one another. Sloan, just as we today, use platforms to learn information from customers that aid us in our creation of modern brands. This is why the Alfred Sloan should be studied by contemporary social media marketers. At the time this happened, it was thought that the Ford Model T was so dominant in the car market space that it could never be overtaken. The Model T had been around for more than a decade. In the 1920’s, in spite of that, the Model T was just coming into its own. Two thirds of all cars registered in the United States in 1923-1924 were the Ford Model T. Henry Ford had done a masterful job in creating a brand for the Model T. By the early 1920s, the Model T had attained such vivid brand recognition that nearly every prospective first-car buyer understood the distinction between an automobile and a—FORD.Ford’s branding was so masterful that it was able to position the Model T as a necessity, and not a luxury. Henry Ford was able convince people that they needed dependable, affordable transportation. The Model T was branded as the best alternative to this. In the environment that Ford and GM operated in the 1920s, there were few single purchases were above 0. At just a few hundred dollars, the Model T solved one of the most significant problems the average person had—how to get around. This created a problem for General Motors. To survive, long-term, they had to expand their market. A brand had to be created that would compete against the Model T. Alfred Sloan faced a dilemma that many modern day marketers face. He had to create a strong brand, virtually overnight. He did what modern marketers do in creating a brand. He used social media to engage customers—-Sloan’s social media is that he talked to customers. He began to notice changes in the dynamic of the market that allowed him to create a brand for GM. The tool that social media offers to a marketer is great speed. The reason why social media is so fast is because there is such huge scale. A successful marketer engages with customers. This allows a marketer to quickly grasp the subtle changes that take place that change the entire dynamic of a market. This is what social media did for Sloan, and it is what social media does for a contemporary marketer. Today, this is done through Facebook and Twitter. A marketer engages with customers through the “comment” section. Social media platforms have great scale. Contemporary marketers are able to engage with a great many customers in a short time. Facebook has 1/3 of the world at its platform. Naturally, Sloan didn’t have this scale, but he did talk to enough people to understand some trends that would allow him to create a brand that would offset the Model T. The American society was changing. It now had a middle-class with disposable income. America had a leisure class. The car was no longer just a means of transportation. People were different stages of their life and they wanted a car to communicate that. Sloan understood the importance of segmenting his market. Sloan created a brand for every pocketbook. Early in your life and your career, you originally would purchase a Chevrolet. As your career progresses, you graduated to Pontiac and Buicks. When you become successful you purchase the Cadillac. Sloan was able to grasp this subtle change through his use of his personal media. Henry Ford didn’t grasp how society was changing and this is why GM was able to quickly create its own brand that quickly overtook the Ford Model T in the 1920’s.

Article by Anthony Hicks

One of the most widely promoted answers to new found wealth on the internet is affiliate marketing. When the actual fact of the matter is that only 10 percent of affiliates that join up earn more than a hundred dollars a month. Out of those 90 percent that make under a hundred dollars a month, the affiliate marketer is still setting fine though, because they are set up to always win. The marketer that is in that 90 percent that is receiving less than one hundred dollars a month, they are the life blood of the marketer. The marketer in this case purposely designs a squeeze page to entrap the gullabe people into believing the dream of “fast easy money.” Offering freebies, to offset the cost of a small initial investment seem like a deal you cant beat. However there is that 10 percent that can and do achieve higher income possibilities. But the reason they succeed is, that these marketers know that this is a highly competitive arena and do what it takes to learn and understand the internet marketing techniques it takes to succeed.

The more successful affiliate marketers will will often times offer free websites as a part of their package to internet success. They do keep their word in offering you a free website. Their program will provide an easy access to a domain name,hosting and the installation of said site. On the other hand it is usually a site that is designed to be optimized by the affiliate marketer not by the new affiliate just joining the program. To top everything else off, in most cases, it does not even go through the marketers head whether you understand what you are doing or not. The manual the describes internet marketing techniques, was not offered upon sign up. Even things such as hosting you find out, after getting halfway signed up for the program, that it will be owed by the affiliate. Out of the 100 percent of affiliate marketers, the 10 percent that are doing well have well designed websites made or know how to make them. One of the top things to have to succeed as an affiliate is a good website.

If an affiliate is to earn income from there one page website that has been created for them there is one thing that is very crucial. Customers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Customers only come from traffic on the internet. At this point the novice realizes that there is no small investment and starts thinking about shelling out more money. To go from worse to worse, most free websites have been HTML code optimized for the benefit of the affiliate marketer not the one receiving the page. Most affiliate marketers capitalize on this, for the simple fact that the newbie does not understand the mechanics of websites. Even though the websites control panel is accessible, that is totally meaningless. There is no way to make changes to the website that will be advantageous to them unless the own and know how to operate an HTML code editor. For the newbie this is as good as telling him to build a website, utterly impossible. So what does the newbie affiliate resort to? He a lot of times, resorts to PPC advertising because he heard this was a great way to get traffic. While all the time losing money because he does not know what he is doing. The actual point that I am trying to make, is being an affiliate can be profitable, but you do not just fall into it by accident on a short term basis, sure you will discover something on accident now and again. But it all needs to be tested and tried.

Anyone who wants to become an affiliate and improve their income, first needs to be patient and do plenty of research, homework if you will. Never be sucked in by “pie in the sky” promises of wealth and income. To be an affiliate, you must understand how affiliate marketing works, one does not have to be a webmaster. To do this research there are enumerate amounts of eBooks and sites online to assist you. There are many reputable software products and programs that are designed around helping the newbie affiliate become more productive in his or her endeavors. To have a dream of “doing something to better your life” is a premise that America was founded on. Do not let anyone stop you, or hold you back “it is your dream” not theirs. Just make sure of one thing, that when the wagon pulls into the barn, it did not cost you an arm and a leg to get there.
