A blog is a short name for "Weblog" and it's basically a website that you can get for free and use for a lot of different things.
In this case, you'll be using it for internet marketing purposes - more specifically to sell products as an affiliate marketer and/or to make money from clicks, via Google Adsense revenue.
Blogger is a free blog platform where you can get or create for free Blog. It's owned and operated by Google, so if you have a Gmail account or a Google account, you can use the same login name and password to log in and you won't even have to create a new account!
If you do not already have an account with Google, you can create one for free at http://www.Blogger.com or Gmail.com.
Once you log into blogger.com, you can create a blog right away! You get your domain name which will look something like this:
www.Your Domain Name.Blogspot.com
Of course, you can replace "your domain name" with what you want your URL to be. Most of the time, people choose keywords that are popular search terms, so that blog ranks higher in search engines.
If you are in the weight loss industry, you might want to choose a name like “COOKING RECIPIES.Blogspot.com” for example, because “Lose Weight Fast” is a very popular search term with over 1 million results.
The best and easiest way to make money with a blog is this formula: RB + AL + AM + T is equal to money.
You might say, what the hell is this?
Don't panic, I hate math too ... just watch how easy it is:
RB = "Blog Review" - This is a blog that you will create with Blogger.com and use it to post product reviews about the products you are promoting as an affiliate.
AL = "Affiliate Links" - At the end of each product review, you must include your referral link to the product you reviewed. Your "affiliate link" is the URL that you send people to so that you can earn a commission on the product if they buy it.
AM = "Article Marketing" - By writing articles (or outsourcing) you can increase the quality, and target traffic to your blog.
T = "Traffic" - This is the traffic you will receive from both articles, as well as people browsing Blogger.com looking for blogs in your category. The more popular the niche market you choose, the more traffic you are likely to receive.
$$$ = money! Of course, this represents the money you will earn on making an affiliate sale! Think about it ... this whole process won't cost you a single cent. The blog is free, with blogger.com. Becoming an affiliate of different platforms like Clickbank.com, Amazon.com and Ebay.com are all 100% FREE. Writing keyword-optimized articles and submitting them to EzineArticles.com or GoArticles.com is 100% free and that's all it takes to make money with a blog. Many marketers and big-name warriors use this method to make a lot of money ... the more articles they have, the more money they make. If you choose to outsource articles, this will be an expense and may cost you
Anywhere from $ 2- $ 12 per article for high-quality articles from a freelance writer.
OK, that was just the idea of it. Let me give you more details and instructions so that you can start doing this right away.
Step 1 would be to sign up as an affiliate with Amazon.com. <---At this link, you can sign up as an affiliate for FREE, right away. Then, you can browse the marketplace for niches and products that you want to promote! All you have to do is click the small link at the top of the page that says "Marketplace."
The products over at amazon.com are "digital" products. A digital product is either an eBook or a software application. The reason, why they are called digital products, is that they can be downloaded immediately after purchase and there is no need for shipping or sending a physical product. An 'eBook' as most of you know (but remember this report is for complete newbies), is a book that can be read right from your computer screen and can be downloaded immediately after purchase. You can also print it out to read it if you prefer or use one of those new electronic eBook reading devices.
The great thing about the products on the amazon.com marketplace is that they offer stunningly high commissions to their affiliates (you). Most of them offer a 75% commission! If you were promoting an eBook that is $47, in the Weight Loss niche or the Make Money Online niche, you would earn $32.50 for every copy you sell. The best part is, you don't even have to sell them the eBook...the sales page that the product creator made will do that for you. All you have to do is refer people to your 'affiliate link.'
An 'affiliate link' is the link that is provided to you, so that you can promote a particular product (of your choice). This link will take the customer to the same EXACT page that the product creator uses to sell the product, but it will have YOUR affiliate ID in the URL. Your affiliate ID will be the username that you select for your amazon account. Here is an example of an affiliate link:
http://YourAffiliateID.ProductName
Of course, "Your Affiliate ID" is replaced with your actual username and the "Product Name" is the code name that the product owner made for that product. You won't need to be guessing any codes though, all you have to do is click on the link that says "Create Hop-link" located underneath the listing of the product that you wish to promote -- on the Amazon Marketplace. After you select the category and subcategory you will be taken to a page full of listings of products to promote. You can view the product price, the commission percentage, and gravity. The gravity is how many people (affiliates) earned a commission on that product in the past one or two week pay period. You can also view the sales page, which is where your affiliate link will send people.
The magic of your affiliate link is that it takes the customer to the same destination they would go to if they hadn't been referred by you. The only difference is that since your affiliate code is hidden within the link...you earn the commission and the money shows up right in your amazon That's where the review blog comes in. If you write product reviews of three books on amazon, post them on your blog and then include your affiliate link at the bottom of the review. A certain percentage of people who visit your blog and read the reviews will click on your affiliate link. Out of those people, a certain percentage of people will actually purchase the Book once they visit the link. A common conversion rate is 2%. So, out of every 50 visitors to your affiliate link, you should have 1 purchase. That would net you $32.50. It is very easy to get 50 visitors to your blog and even much more.
Step 2 would be to sign up with Blogger.com. <---At this link, you can sign up for Blogger.com for FREE --and start creating as many blogs as you want, right away. You can be up and running in just minutes. If you don't have a Google Mail account already (Gmail, Adwords, Adsense) you will have to create one, but that is 100% free. Then, you will proceed to the "Create a Blog" section, by clicking on the "Create a Blog" link.
Here you will create a name for your blog as well as a domain name. The domain name will be the web address that people type into their browser to get to your blog site. Depending on the product(s) that you are promoting.
Step 3 would be to go back to the amazon.com Marketplace and choose a product or products to promote. Here you can pick a category and even a sub-category. For instance, a popular niche is "Health and Fitness" and the most popular sub-category of the Health and Fitness market is "Diet."
Step 4 would be to write a product review about the product you choose to market. Remember, you are marketing a product here...the product is already made.
It is your job to find the people who want/need the information you are offering --and then give it to them. They will buy it if/when the sales pitch sells itself.
But, you do NOT have to give or write the sales pitch...the sales page for the product you're promoting will have one already -- Most likely written by a professional sales copywriter. All you need to do is guide people there, If you can not write a product review to save your own life, you can easily outsource it to someone on the warrior forum. A freelance writer would not charge too much for a product review for an amazon product. You can expect to pay anywhere from $3 - $20 for a custom written product review, depending on the writer and the word count of the review.
Step 5 would be to add your affiliate link to the bottom of the product review. It can be a short review, something like 250-500 words or more if you wish. In the end, you can give a strong "Call to action" so that the reader will be compelled to click on your affiliate link. So, your call to action at the end of the product review would look like this (if we were promoting a weight loss product) example:
Step 6 would be to drive traffic to your review blog. You don't just want any traffic going to your site, you want 'targeted' traffic. Targeted traffic is visitors who are actually interested in the product that you are reviewing. They are in the market for what you are offering basically. That is the beauty of niche marketing...you find the people who need what you are offering and you simply give it to them. It's easy money, and you are helping people at the same time.
The way to drive targeted traffic to your review blog is to write articles for it and submit them to Ezinearticles.com and GoArticles.com. These article directories are the top, most popular ones and rank very well on the search engines --especially Ezinearticles.com. If you write articles in the niches that you are promoting, and you give away some good information and of course include a link to your review blog in your resource box at the end of each article, you will have targeted traffic to your blog, which will convert into sales, which means you will earn affiliate commissions!
Step 7 includes additional methods of driving quality, targeted traffic to your blog. This includes (but is not limited to) backlink building, social networking, pinging your blog, paying for traffic via Pay-Per-Click advertising, traffic exchanges (not so great), offline advertising such as business cards, classified ads, yellow pages, etc. The more targeted leads you to drive to your website...the more sales you will make. It's simple, but it does take work.
There you have it. This simple, yet effective method of creating a review blog to market affiliate products costs nothing to do and can earn a potentially unlimited income. Depending on how much traffic you drive to your blog and the conversion rates, you can build a $20,000 per month business or more using this exact model.
Good luck and I wish you the best of success with your blogging. Now go and make some money!
