Quick question, although I know Facebook traffic for affiliate marketing converts, but when compared to Pinterest, Twitter and Reddit which actually yielded more sales for you?

Thanks for this question

In terms of free traffic - Reddit.

As outlined in an earlier post, it was a one-off thing. But the sales was remarkable

I only used twitter as a medium to sell. I barely got free traffic from twitter

For Paid Ads - Reddit
Though Pinterest and Facebook ads have given me sales too.
However, Facebook ads have provided very inconsistent results

Affiliate marketing THE "GURU METHOD" plain and simple!

I like this. I may end up blending whatever I decide to use with this.

Thanks, bro

Good Morning Great People.

I am sure you had a great weekend.
I was just off yesterday.

Back to business.

In 2006 when I became of a student of Online Marketing,
there was a free hunting ground for marketers back then.

In fact MMO marketers then will sell a product to u because
they claim the product will show you where the millions
of buyers for your products are.

Incidentally, there were only two hunting grounds then.
Yahoo groups and the Forums. True to claim, many marketers
made a lot of dough from these two hangouts.

But today, yahoo groups no longer function but the forums
remain.

A forum is a meeting or medium where ideas or views on a subject matter are shared.

People of different races, locations, works etc come together to share their common pains, thrills and knowledge on a particular subject of interest in forums.

Back then forums became gold mines for marketers. In forums they easily found out the common pain of these group of people and readily sold solutions to them.

These days, forums have evolved however, they still remain a gold mine.

I will show how in a moment.

Here's how forums can help your business.

Forums can help your business in two cardinal ways.

1. To find hungry and relatively untapped niches

2. To give your business or website exposure.

Let me explain.

To Find Hungry and Relatively Untapped Niches.

When I started internet marketing, I started by selling my products.
Affiliate marketing was not easy then because of foreign address and
even how to receive payment.

The money spent to startup affiliate
marketing about twelve yrs ago was good to run a paid 5 x 1 column in
a newspaper to market your products.

Finding a hungry market besides the MMO market was not so open
and one needed to search for profitable markets.

Ten years ago I found myself marketing pregnancy Miracle as an affiliate
and i discovered that so many Nigerians wanted the book but could not buy.

I helped a few to get the book from Clickbank then. I read through the book
and i discovered it was too general and I needed deeper information to sell this
product and offer other products too.

In a process of time, I had a good training in alternative medicine and that helped me
to understand herbs and how it relates to the human body.

In 2012, I opened my first original site and I provided information on fertility
related issues.
But there was a big problem. I needed to get the main pains of those going through
fertility issues in Nigeria in order to sell solutions to them.

An that's how I found the TTC thread here on Nairaland.

The thread opened my eyes to real-life problems couples were going through in order to
conceive. I took my time and documented many of these issues and of course solutions
provided by some people that went through similar problems.

I researched the solutions proffered and dropped those that were very inaccurate.
So I wrote articles around these topics on my blog and gave my honest solution
from my learning and my research.

I also got good information from other forums that were centered around fertility.

My site grew, traffic increased steadily, sales were skeletal from Nigerians but I was
selling affiliate products to foreigners.

Not much dough was made.

From the TTC thread, I discovered that Nigerians needed more than information but real
products to help them.

And since so many women on NL were complaining about certain issues, I knew instinctively that
there were many more women and men out there that I could reach out with my products.

I painstakingly looked for products that worked but purely natural/ herbal.

I found them.

I got products for issues that western medicine could not provide real answers for
and sold them on my site for a commission.

Since i was not getting much traffic from google, I used paid ads on Tribune, sun newspaper, vanguard
at different points afterwards.

The result was amazing. I had a product combo that sold for N180k on my site. There were times in a day
I will get 3 people to pay 180k each. The commissions were 30% but I made good profit outside the commissions.

Monthly my advert cost was about N60k/month or thereabout on sun newspapers but only one order covered advert costs.

The bottom line is that those markets could only be explored from the information I got from forums.

Forums are invaluable if only you can search through.

2. To give your business or website exposure

Forums provide the opportunity for you to create exposure for your business and websites.

Many forums provide signature forms for users to append their businesses. In most
cases, users link to their websites.

People will not only find out what your website offers but can also spend money with you
when they buy your product.

Your site also gets backlinks that help to improve its search engine relevance.

The more people click through to your site the relevant it becomes and of course
forums can help you achieve that.

If you looking for a pain to make money from.
Look through the forums.
I saw a thread this morning that will make one sharp entrepreneur good dough this month through December

https://www.nairaland.com/5502265/how-buy-stuffs-cheaper-price/4#83652143

The information contained there is and an earlier thread is good money.

You get a forum for desired niche just type your niche forum in Google search. And several listings u can choose from will come up.

opportunities to do so that presently than before.

1 Page Business Model

Sometime September 2012 if I remember properly, I received a mail from a Marketer
called Kim Roach. Her area of expertise is on traffic generation more of Facebook.

This lady sent a mail titled Shhhhh. The message in one sentence was a 1-page business model
Just K (Keep) I (It) S (Stupidly) S (Simple) = KISS

The message changed my perception of email marketing and also improved earnings from
email marketing.

Here's how the business model looks like ...

You have a market to sell to already.

The model goes thus
Traffic - Landing/Squeeze Page - Offer - $$$

Nothing new here.
But this is the simplicity of the model

1 Traffic Source
1 Offer
1 Email every day.

This model frees you up to do other things you would want to do.

Traffic Source - Instead of running after different traffic sources and getting nowhere
Get 1 traffic source to your landing page. I will recommend that you focus on traffic that's fast, scalable, and simple.
The traffic source may be facebook ads. It depends on you.
So no SEO here. It's just way too slow.

Offer - Imagine how big you could grow your business if you focused on just one offer.
Preferably a continuity program. That way your revenue grows every month.

And you're not jumping from one promo to the next.
Instead, you're able to focus on serving your audience at the highest level.


Send ONE email a day.

One of the biggest mistakes I made online is simply not emailing enough.
Studies have shown that 15% of your buyers will purchase within the first 90 days.
But 85% of those people are going to buy after 90 days.
After 180 days. Even YEARS after someone has joined your list.

The fortune is in the follow-up.

Your audience is already buying from your competitors.

But if you communicate consistently, give value,
and add some FUN into it, they'll be buying from you instead.

Whether it's your own product you are offering or affilitate products,
you can run an exclusive campaign for a continuity program or a membership site.

You can find out continuity products on clickbank or other affiliate sites and offer to your subscribers.
This model is very similar to an earlier post of mine where I talked about a you tuber that sold a music course.

Blogging is cool and profitable but is more of hard work than running this simple model that brings in good money.

Summary

Get an incredible continuity product


Build a one-page site and offer something for free to collect email addresses of visitors


Plug into a Good Traffic Source

Send One e-mail every day to your subscribers. Make your mails informative and entertaining
(Infotainment).

That's all.

All the above gives u a lot of time to do things you love while you earn on the go.

But you can scale up and even earn more...

...that I will share tomorrow.

How To Get Rich Selling Stuff Online

A guy Mr Ken followed me through Akinalabi forum in 2008. He liked my blogging style even though I was still naive about the subject.
Using simple blogger sites, I worked through learning how to blog. We eventually met in Kaduna not too long after.

Mr Ken printed a book ("The Article Marketing BluePrint" by Matt Callen ) and gifted me.

The methods matt used in making his site rank on google first page then may not work today but the deep lessons I learnt in
that book is invaluable and is still applicable today.

Matt in his book demonstrated how he made several thousands of dollars monthly.
Here's what he did.

He creates a virtual real estate (niche site), writes and publishes 30 articles with money keywords promoting adsence.
He creates another site in another niche and does the same thing he did above.

Over a period of one year, Matt had several of these sites in different niches many were doing excellently well on the search engine
and his earnings had massive multiplier effects on his bank balance.

The first month Matt earned 0.39cents and after 13 months Matt averaged 20,000usd.

How can this apply to you and i today?

There is a saying
"Never put all your eggs in one basket"

What am I saying?
If you want to be rich selling stuff online

Create different niche sites and offer multiple products.

Let me briefly how can do this.

If you want to blog

Pick a niche
Create a blog around the niche
Search for money keywords that you can write articles around
Get one affiliate product and write a review.
Write another article around one of the keywords you have pencilled down earlier.
Make sure every day or every two days you publish at least an article with your money keywords recommending an affiliate product.
In a month, you must have published at least 20 articles on your blog.
You can also outsource to scale up.

Create another blog around another niche and do as described above

Once in a week ensure you drop content on these blogs so as to keep them relevant.

In a year you must have at least 10 blogs and honestly, your income from these blogs will be cool.
It's possible a blog or two will not do well because of competition but overall you will smile regularly.

An easier approach which may not be for a long term like the blog

Create a business around a niche using the 1-page business model I described yesterday.
Attract traffic to that 1 page.

Create another and repeat

Create another and repeat.

If you are using paid traffic you may want to allocate your resources.

This is when you can really say you have created multiple streams of income online.

Whichever method you choose you can't fail not make good money in the long run.

It's Your Turn - Think and make a plan today of leveraging on the power of the internet
to help someone today and improve your income.

Thanks for sticking with me.
