I’m an Online Marketing Consultant specializing in helping Network Marketers succeed in their business online. My goal is to show any network marketer, marketing any network marketing company, how to virtually ensure your success and allow you to climb to the top of whatever company or business you are marketing.

This is the third part of a short 5 article mini-series that explains the top 5 internet marketing strategies that will allow you explode your network marketing business online.

In the last two articles I discussed Residual Income & Solving Cash Flow Problems as well as the importance of Lead Generation & List building.

This third article works right along-side list building, and it is about affiliate marketing for network marketers.

We discussed how network marketing income is long term residual income, and network marketers have a need for immediate cash flow now to stay in business.

Lst building is what today’s top online marketers are doing to get leads, build strong networking relationships and, last but not least, bring in immediate income.

How are they doing this? With affiliate marketing. It is critical that you monitize the subscriber list you are building with appropriate affiliate programs.

You MUST have a streamlined affiliate marketing dynamic to your online business. If you do NOT then you are leaving thousands of dollars on the table!

This affiliate marketing is going to fund your business in the beginning and allow you to stay online long enough to to make that serious $10,000+ per month income from network marketing online.

Basically the goal is that you should be making at least $3000 per month from all of your list building and your affiliate programs alone. And you will be making this money from the 95% of the people who will say “no” to your primary network marketing business opportunity.

This is how the top money making professionals play the game…

Now, there are tons of useless affiliate programs out there. You want to have only the best one– ones that are of real benefit to your list of subscribers. They are counting on you to lead them in the right direction.

And it’s your reputation that is at risk. You want products that you are sure that you can stand behind. You want products that you have used and know that they are good.

So, how do you find these products with out spending thousands of dollars trying them all out?

Don’t worry. I have a marketing system that has already found the best quality and income producing affiliate programs that work hand in hand with network marketing. Plus our amazing marketing system has all the tools you need to succeed online. You can find more information about this system by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page.

I have thought about ‘How To Make Real Money With Blogs’ a lot. I’ve also read a lot about it. So, this is what I came up with.

Building a blog empire is the way to go:

1. You need to decide on what niche topic your blog empire should go for. It has to be a more general subject where you can use sub categories for your blogs. And of course, it has to be a hot niche topic that everybody is interested in.

Go to ClickBank for this kind of information. And by the way, Internet Marketing is always a profitable main category to go for.

2. Start with about 5 blogs at Blogspost and WordPress. Search engines love this ones.

3. Post some great, useful information about your topics on your blogs at least every second day. This is important for the search engines to be able to notice your blogs. Google for ideas by typing in keywords related to your topics and use the results for your articles.

4. Place affiliate links into each of your posts and at the end of your articles. These links should be related to your blog theme. Also place links at the side of your blogs. Go to ClickBank and find yourself some great affiliate programs that relate to your topics and sign up as an affiliate. It’s easy. Just go by the step-by-step instructions.

These affiliate links will enable you to blog your way to riches.

Don’t forget to SEO your posts or articles with keywords. Start by including a related keyword into your title and continue throughout your article body. This will ensure that the search engines will find your articles and blogs. Never forget keywords.

To find keywords use Google search engine and ‘google’ with some words or phrases that relate to your articles. If something comes up with the words you search with, you have found your keywords.

You really only need one keyword or key phrase for each article you post on your blogs.

5. Set up an Adsense account for ads to be put on your blogs. With these ads you can actually earn some money the easy way. And it’s FREE! Place some targeted Google ads on your blogs, as this will make you money each and every time someone clicks on those ads on your blogs.

6. Write and submit 2 fresh quality articles a day for each blog to submit to article directories like EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com. After a few weeks you should see some excellent targeted traffic coming your way.

7. Get a domain name or a page on your existing web site for each of your affiliate programs and re-direct these to your affiliate links, as the above article directories will not accept affiliate links. But they are still the greatest to go with.

I know, I know! It sounds impossible to write posts in about 5 blogs and write 2 articles a day for these blogs.

But you can re-write your blog entries into articles with 300-550 words, or so and submit them to the article directories of your choice.This will make you some significant extra money by marketing your affiliate programs with your articles as well. 

Other marketers write 10 to 20 articles a day! You get used to it and then it will come to you easy.

If you stick to it, this can make you very wealthy. It has made many determined marketers rich. Believe me!

Start to make real money with blogs right now. It’s fun!

As a blog owner you probably think the most important job you have is to provide unique quality content. That’s important but your content means nothing if no one ever reads it.

Driving traffic to your blog is the most important thing you can do to make sure your site is a success. If no one reads your blog there’s no way for you to make money from the site.

Let’s cover 4 ways to drive traffic that involve social networking.

Forums

This is one of the most basic ideas to drive traffic to your site, luckily it’s also works really well.

Find a related forum by searching for forum + your niche. This should bring up a good list of places people are talking about your topic.

Go to the site, fill in a simple signature that includes your site in a link using keyword anchor text.

Now go into community and contribute. That means get into conversation, ask questions, answer questions. Each time you contribute to the forum you signature will show at the bottom of your post, giving you a backlink to your site, as well as community members a way to check out your site.

Blog Directories

Two of the biggest blog directories are blogcatalog and mybloglog. These sites are basically directories of blogs. You can go and add your blog, in fact, you can add as many blogs as you have.

To get the best return on this type of site you need to get involved in the community aspect of these sites. Look at other blogs, comment on other people’s pages, add friends to your profile. The more you put yourself out there in these communities the more people will stop by your page, and your blog.

Stumble Upon

Stumble Upon is basically a bookmarking site. This site is very powerful however because of the way it is built. You can quickly and easily gain a LOT of traffic by using Stumble Upon.

This site was not created to market your site, so remember that when you are stumbling. Make sure you take some time to stumble through other people’s sites as well. Id’ say it is wise to stumble at least 5 pages for every one of your pages you give the thumbs up to.

Claim Your Blog at Technorati

Technorati is a power house of a site. It is a large index of blogs. People go there to find blogs about a specific topic. Often times the tag pages from technorati will show up in the Google search results for any given keyword.

It’s a pretty simple process, just go in and claim your blog. You will be asked to put a bit of code on your site, the instructions are given when you claim your blog.

Once your blog has been claimed you will begin to gain status in the community by driving traffic to your blog. The higher your technorati score the better, and the more people who will see your blog.

There are so many ways you can drive traffic to your blog. If you are using web marketing to sell products or make money you are going to have to know how to drive traffic to your site.

If you take action on any one of these techniques on a consistent basis you will begin to see an increase in your traffic levels. With more traffic generally comes more sales.
