just to give you the heads up on a new product that I’m going to release on 21st September called “Cracking The eBay Code“.

I’ve been super exited to write about a business I’ve been really passionate about for a few years now, and to finally get it into print is just phenomenal.

What’s the eBook all about?

Well, first let me just say that this is a combination of video and PDF detailing the exact same strategies I use to make a full time living on eBay.

Just read a great blog post about making money from Amazon products. I often wondered just how people managed to do this since the commission percentage isn’t as appealing as other affiliate programs. Tracey explains all in her latest blog post:

I found it quite interesting and I’m sure you will do too!

Have you used Amazon and if so have you had any success yet?

To your online success,

I don’t normally add external links from my blog but I thought this was a great post and one that you could benefit from. I manage to make a full time living by selling digital products on eBay and it’s now my ambition to do this next with article marketing and affiliate marketing.

As some of you have already found out, the Internet marketing niche is among the most competitive and lucrative niches on the Internet to date. It’s crazy, there’s actually an Internet Marketing product that launches just about every working week and since the demand is so high for these types of products there’s one simple method to make some fast income. From the title you’ve probably guessed what it is, “Writing Internet Marketing Product Reviews” for these products and promoting them as an affiliate marketer.

If you’re new to all this, you’re probably wondering just how you get started. Well, make a cup of tea or coffee, strap yourself in cause I’m gonna lay out 4 simple steps to get started.

First things first you need to visit a JV forum like JV Notify Pro, and let me just add a little caution before you run off and do this. To be honest this should have been the first thing you do but hey ho not to worry. Actually take part in some of the discussions and DON’T sign up for everything going. You need to become a trusted member of these types of communities before they’ll allow you to become a joint venture partner. In other words, add true value to other people’s posts and don’t make it spammy.

The second step is research.

Yeah I know, you’re rolling your eyes at this point and literally breaking down the door to get the hell out of here. But if you’re looking to make some money on the net you’re gonna have to partake in some WORK (that dirty little word). Trust me, all of things you’ve read about making easy money on the web and that you can press that secret button and watch dollars roll in. Forget it.

Once you’ve done a little research and by this I mean actually purchase the product (unless you’re given one, which generally happens when you’ve got a decent list) try the theories out and actually use it over a period of time. If there’s something you’re actually unclear about or if you need extra info, simply fire off an email to the product owner. You can also ask her if she’s got any other material you’re able to use to help promote the product.

Now you’ve got some kind of familiarity with the product make an extensive list of the benefits the buyer will get from the product. Now these will need to be specific good and bad points a buyer will get from using the product or using the information the product provides. This is essential. You’re probably scratching your head and wondering why you’d be mentioning bad points.

To give an honest review of a product you need to be exactly that, honest. People within the internet marketing community are gonna smell BS a mile away, so make sure it’s written from the heart and objective. If you’ve got the ability, put the strengths and weakness of the product in table form and get hold of some gif graphics, ticks and marks out of 5 type of thing. If you’ve got something visual this is definately gonna help.

The third step is to create a review outline.

By review outline I mean the structure of the entire review. This is the single most important thing for you to do. Get this right and there’s some dollars to be had. Important elements of your review are the review title, headline or first paragraph and the conclusion. The title’s meant to grab the reader by the throat and get their attention (similar to the preview of an action movie), they show you all the best bits, leave you with your mouth open in anticpation of what the film’s gonna be like..

The headline or first paragraph is a brief summary of the entire review and usually contains the what, why, and how of the product. It’s generally in the first paragraph that your reader decides to continue reading or not. Finally, the last paragraph is where you show your own conclusion, opinion of the product. Keep this real and non spammy.

The forth step is to actually write your review.

Now you’ve got everything in place this should be easy. You know the product back to front, you’ve got some extra info from the product creator, simply produce a title that grabs the attention. In real terms this should set the tone for the rest of the review and determines your readers’ expectations. The body of your review is where you need to provide specific details, i.e the pros and cons.

I almost forget and this is essential. Try to write a strong close. If there’s a free trial or a no brainer call to action then it doesn’t need to be so strong. If it doesn’t, then I reccomend making the close as strong as possible.

The conclusion would be your closing thoughts about the product and whether you recommend it or not. Believe it or not, the trick is to get the reader to try the product whether you think it’s a good or bad product. I reckon this is where a lot of people go wrong. You still need the reader to use call of action regardless. It is so important that your reader hits that link and goes to the sales page of the product. This is where they will ultimately make there decesion. Your work is done.

If you master the art of the honest review, your readers will take note and listen whether they agree with you or not. This is powerful!

What are your thoughts?

1.    Get your own website or blog. Yep, I know it sounds pretty straight forward but it’s true. This has got to be first on your list to accomplish if you want to make your online presence felt. You can start by choosing the best domain name for your website or blog. To make it much easier to find online, make sure that it is highly descriptive and keyword-rich. The domain name must also be short and memorable for obvious reasons. There’s no point making it interesting by tongue twisting. Your target market just won’t get it. You need to make sure your website is filled with information that’s related to your product, line of business, and chosen niche. It will help if you can make it easy to navigate and well-designed. This can help you lure more people to do business with you.

2.    Think SEO. Search engine optimization is one of the best marketing tools that you’ll need to learn in order to thrive in the online arena. There’s plenty of interesting ebooks out there on the subject and billions of articles in places like ezinearticles. Why? You basically want your website to be shown in the first few pages of search page results so you can increase your traffic. You’ll need to use relevant keywords all throughout your web content (but not too many so you don’t spam) and you must know how to launch several link building campaigns.

3.    List building. The process doesn’t stop the moment you were able to drive interested parties to your website. Remember, most of these people will not make a purchase during their first visit so it is very important that you get their contact information. This is to easily build an ongoing communication with these people so you can follow-up on their desire to buy what you offer. Make use of opt-in forms and squeeze pages or offer your potential clients with amazing freebies in exchange of their registration.

4.    Article marketing. This is one of the best, if not the best, free marketing tools in the online arena today. This can help you share your expertise to your potential clients so these people will feel that you are really knowledgeable in your chosen niche. It can also help you build quality inbound links in an instant. As you know, the more links pointing to your website, the higher page ranking you’ll get from major search engines.

Hope this helps and good luck!
