Blogging is a recognized form of attracting a presence of clients online. I will explain the importance of blogging and your income. I will explain this better in my summary and article below, but as a person with a business online, one of your primary considerations is to get interested eyeballs in front of your website, This is a super critical aspect of your business and something that you want to set up well ahead here. This is how you can use blogging to the bank.

There is a short video on the blogging to the bank site that explains the way it works quite well, and I wanted to express my take on the program to help you learn a little more about it. After all, in any blogging situation, the idea is to be regularly adding information to update your blog or communications part of your website. This way, you can have a site that is fully updated, and also looks fresh in the eyes of the search engines. This is very important indeed.

Blogging to the bank is about creating a steady income stream from your regular and daily efforst at blogging. It need only be a great post of at least five hundred words a day and this will make a difference to your results.

Some of you as affiliates may simply be thinking about setting up your links and not worrying any further about them. However, as a warning to all affiliates about not cloaking your links, you can end up losing out on rightfully owed commissions. The reasons for this are numerous which I will explain below, as well as provide a suitable method of solving this problem for you.

Reasons to Cloak Your Links

A number of reasons exist to cloak your links. In no particular order, they are

• A protection of your affiliate links, so they are not obviously affiliate links
• A protection of your security by using your own software on your hosting account
• A protection of your commissions
• An improved professional look
• and a good few more.

Many affiliate marketers are happy to do a lot of work to promote their links, which is of course, a very important process in the marketing of your business. However, there are several reasons why we need to cloak our links and protect our revenue. It is not just a case of slapping a link or two on a website and hoping for the best. There really is more to it than that, as you can imagine.

For a start, many affiliate links look like affiliate links. That means they are long, clunky, with many numbers and it can be a psychological turn off for people to click on them. For that reason, there is a benefit to cloak them.

In addition, there is also the issue that some of the free sites that allow cloaking can drop off line, or be taken off line or even change their terms of service. Essentially, of your cloaking efforts are externally managed, you lose the control and ability to be sure they are always working in your favor. On the other hand, if you have a link cloaking program installed on your domain and hosting account, you maintain full control, and can also use what is known as silent or stealth redirect processes. This means that someone using your link won’t see that it is in fact, an affiliated link. This protects your business and maintains a professional look on your sites.

Another reason to make sure you are avoiding the free link cloaker services is the fact that if you link changes, it can be next to impossible to edit an existing redirect you have, if you have heavily promoted a particular link already. With the use of the Easy Script Redirect Facility, it can all be managed from within the control panel interface. All very easy.

Whilst many people have thought of Facebook as just another social site, it is developing into something that is much more than just socialising. I actually made an effort to stay away from it in its initial few years but after watching what was developing, decided that I needed to join the bandwagon as well, as it simply is getting to be much bigger than just a social site.

In fact, it is starting to be very much a site that can be used to build your list and build your business in general, with its advaced features as well as the apps (applications) and also the fan pages side to it.

Essentially, a typical way to build your list is to request a person’s email address and name and then to provide a fre gift in return, like a report, en eBook or similar.

However, a new technology allows people to use something called a like button, or an accept button that then requires a log into Facebook. By doing this, you are automatically added as a friend and thus, whenever you post something on your page, it is seen on their facebook page as well as on the pages of their friends. I think you can start to see how fast this can start to actually go viral, which in effect is a lot easier than you actually trying to just get individual sign ups in a traditional squeeze or capture page.

As it turns out, I still do have the static or traditional list building page, and am now starting to use the facebook sign up page as well.

Facebook Like and Register Button

The idea behind the Opt in application on Facebook is to increase your friends list as you drive traffic to your offers, through the Facebook platform.

If I can give you any kind of advice, the best thing I can recommend is to make sure that you arte building your list as often and regularly as possible.

When it comes to marketing your various affiliate links, it is important to use processes that will protect your links. The reason for this is quite simple. Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous people out there who, if they see an affiliate link, will either try to disable it, or to insert their own code to get your commission.

It’s a terrible thing, but a fact of life. However, given that you are an affiliate marketer, there are things that you can do to protect your situation and your commissions. This is by the use of a link cloaking program, and one very good one is the Easy Redirect Script Link Cloaker.

I have also included the QR Code below, so if you have a portable smart phone, you can scan and record the website below.

The reason I am so keen to impress upon you the importance of this link cloak technology is that I have had some commissions stolen by others using y links, and replacing their details in the filed. Naturally, if I have done some preparatory work to review a product, or provide further information, I would like the credit for it. It is a standard principle and I hope to help you achieve and see the same results in your business.

Persistence in Online Marketing

I know that for many people, they may be in a situation where they have actually spent many months to many years on learning systems about online marketing and may even have also tried every technique under the sun.

After all this time, you may feel that you have just spent money and time, and not actually learned anything of value, and that you are a failure. Let me tell you that you are not a failure as you have been doing the grunt work to learn your new trade. That may seem like c0ld comfort if you are in a financial situation that is a little on the desperate side, but let me tell you, that all you have done is not wasted. I know how hard and desolate it can all seem like, and hope to give you some pointers to make this all much more sensible and useable for you.

Let us look at everything that you have done in the past. Are you ever in a situation where you are doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that? The reason I say this is that often times, we are doing so man y things that our energies are dissipated and not channeled with efficiency towards a common goals point. I am certain there are more than one way to do things, but we need to focus our energies.

In other words, it can be beneficial to work with article marketing, or report writing or facebook systems, but use one technique and really use it. Doing this in a focused way is key. Certainly, if you have been hammering something for a month and see no result what so ever, you may say that you need to tweak or modify your game plan. However, really make sure that you are honest with yourself on this one. It is really important and you need to make sure you follow it well.

The second point is to learn from others that have been successful.

I know it is not always easy to accept that we need to learn from others because there may be a cost. However, being mentored or following someone else who has already done well is critical to your overall success and I wish you a success in this regard. You will do well and make a difference to your results. This is persistence in online marketing.

As a summary, if I can assure you that you need to look at systems, and then implement some techniques, and get them to work well. Practice and consistency are key and this is very important to make a difference for you and this is key.

I know it sounds a little negative, but there are times when creating your own products, particularly if you are new to this game, you may find that some bomb quite badly.

There are ways to minimise this situation, by doing your research first. The fact is that many peopele prefer to create products that they like and know much about. It certainly helps if you do know something about the product you are creating, but you need to also be able to create the products that are more likely to be bought because they're in demand. 

As a way out or extreme example, I suspect there will be little demand for the information product on 'painting tortoise shells'. I could be wrong- I'm just guessing there is not much of a market for that, but I could be wrong too!

For this reason, the ideas presented in the info product pipleine system are able to help you. The system explains, amongst other important processes, the different ways you can look at reserach, in the form of keyword reserach and the like. Only when you can see where the demand is, can you more accurately work out where the best processes are to follow to make a product more profitable.

When it comes to creating products to market online, you have a wide range of possibilities to consider, and I detail some of them below, to demonstrate that you can create amazing income streams, and a mouth watering array of products to tempt your clients with.

So, what are some kinds of Products to Create for Online Sales?

You can create short reports, that amswer a specific question, or provide specific steps to soleve a given problem, or avhieve an outcome.

You can create an audio or video version fo the same report, or expand it into a full eBook, and sell that independantly, or eventhrough a m,ajor retailer like Amazon, using their Kindle store.

You can create a membership site that drip feeds the information to your clients over time.

You can also create webinar recordings where you record a phone conversation or even better, create a course or lesson where you use software to record your computer screen as you create a specific course to 'show' people how to do a particualr task. I show this in my course on internet entrepreneurial behaviour.

However, even though the above course is selling for $297, I am actually offereing it as a bonus to all the people who purchase and use the Info Product Pipe Line course over here.

All you need to do is to send me a copy of the receipt from the purchase process and send it to my contact form here.

A question many will be asking is why am I beiong so generous to you?

The reason is that I know how hard it can be for some peopel to get started on line. However, witht he roght skills, and header ideas, or basic skill sets, you are able to masively improve your chances of success and it would be an hopnour fro me to help you in thsi way to succeed online and become better at earning a honets income from providing great service to your clients. 

The main point is that just becasue you are offering an online product, does not mean you do not need to be personal about it.

I like to establish an ongoing relationship with my clients, in that I send them useful information about the subject they are interested in,. In other words, I create an ongoing supply of information to help them continue to get better at working online, That is my passion and the reason I create these products as well as marketing other people's products.

In other words, I am a product creator, and an affiliate marketer. I am always upfront about this in the interests of integrity as well as in the intere3sts of helping my clients.

I go on a bot about this as I knwo that some poeple just want to make a sale and then move on. Whilst that model can work, I feel it is more effectiove to actually create a sitiation where peopel can email me and ask questions and so on.

Can you see yourself creating a product that you can help others with?

You Do have the Knowledge

I know you have the knowledge. There are countless topics you can create products on and often, the hardest process is just getting started. Once you do that, the rest becomes much easier to go on with, You will be enouraged by your efforts and the results taking shape for you. Can you see where I am going here?

IMPORTANT:  What's best is this … not only will you know how to create these different kinds of products, but you can use the blueprints to create MULTIPLE offers for each type.  Example.  You can create several different membership sites, several different webinars, several different Kindle ebooks, etc.!

This is all taught in the Info products Creation Pipeline course for you.

If you have never written a report before, this may seem a little bit of a challenge, but I assure you that you do know how to do this. Yeah, right, I hear you say. No, really I reckon you can do this. Consider this scenario-

Think of a situation or subject that you are familiar with. Think about your work, your job, or your hobbies, or even something else that you know you are good at. We are all good at something. I promise you are no different to anyone else when it comes to this. We are all good as long as you are determined to try this out for yourself.

Even of you need to sit down and just write a list of ideas, you will find that ideas and 'skills' that you have will emerge. Write them all down. When you are done, you can decide how you want to proceeed. Do you want to create a 

• short report
• a book (electronoc book)
• a video series
• an audio file,
• or even a combination o0f the above, like an entry product as a report, then then book , and then an audio and video presentation, which of course would sell for more than just the ebook and so on, This is liek a process, or formula. 

In many cases, an audio file and video will have more perceived value than just a report on its own, but then again,a  good report, with no fluff, can be worth its weight in gold!

Hence, you can start with one and then work up.

All thse are ideas for creating products and you really can do this. Half the battle is just in the starting. I know this because I've actually been there. 

Creating Your Own Information Products is a skill that can be learned, relatively easily. You do not have to start off as an expert. Most people just want answers to their problems or questions. You really do not need to be a university graduate. Many of the finest reports I've learned from were written by people who had solved the problems I wanted answers to. It's that simple and straight forward.

Now, I am going to be writing in future posts about the methods I use to write my reports and courses. Yes, I also create courses, and I am actually going to be giving you a bonus with access to my $297 entrepreneurs course online, when you purchase the info product pipeline reports from the link here. All you need to do is to use the contact form and email me the receipt for the course you have bought, from the link on this page.

Writing Short Reports

My recommendation here is to write down all the major subheadings or sub sections to a topic. Let us imagine you want to write a report or eBook on List Building and Lead generation.

In this case, you could list subtopics like the 

• reasons for building a list
• the corporate value of loking after your list
• different methods to obtain people's names and emails, or the incentives offered to achieve this.
• Ways to keep your list subscribers interested and so on and so on.

The above could then be broken down into chapters and sections and so on. You will be very surprised, in most cases when you just start and see the results that you can achieve.
