			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s continue on the previous topic on 3 Free &amp; Easy Ways To Earn Money Online.</p>
<p>But before I carry on, I want to make sure you&#8217;ve take advantage and signed up for the 3 resources that I&#8217;ve mentioned. If you haven&#8217;t done so, please go back to my <a title="Part 1" href="http://www.erictan.ws/affiliate-marketing/3-free-easy-ways-to-make-money-online-part-1/">previous last post</a> and sign up now. You&#8217;ll need those resources for my below step by step guide.</p>
<p>When I&#8217;ve completed signing up the <a title="PLRGold 5 JV Partnership Program" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/plrgoldjv" target="_blank">PLRGold JV program</a>, I proceed immediately to the members area and familiarize everything inside. After looking at the promotional marketing tools provided, I know I&#8217;ve to create a squeeze page so as to capture some leads by giving away free rebrandable reports (rebrandable ebook available in the members area).</p>
<p>Hint #1: You can track your results in the JV members area, just create a campaign for every promotion that&#8217;s taking place so you&#8217;ll know which method or site converts better.</p>
<p>Now, you can make use of &#8220;<a title="My Free Website Builder!" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/freewebsitebuilder" target="_blank">My Free Website Builder</a>&#8221; to easily create a simple squeeze page, either with the ready-made templates that&#8217;s inside the software or using the one that I&#8217;ve create which I&#8217;ll be giving it to you below.</p>
<p>Basically your squeeze page should have a captivating title, some description of the rebranded ebook, and your opt in form. I recommend you to use a autoresponder if you don&#8217;t have one, here are 2 of the most trustworthy email-responder services that are quite popular among internet marketers: <a title="GetResponse" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/getresponse" target="_blank">GetResponse.com</a> &amp; <a title="Aweber" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/aweber" target="_blank">Aweber.com</a><a href="http://www.aweber.com/?218833"></a></p>
<p>To make life easier for you, you can go to <a title="Free Instant Squeeze Page Generator" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/squeezepagegenerator" target="_blank">Instant Squeeze Page Generator</a> where they allow you to create instant squeeze page with just a few clicks. Go and see for yourself, it&#8217;s really that easy and please keep back your wallet&#8230; Get your free membership here!</p>
<p>After creating the squeeze page, the next thing is to create the thank you page and the download page. Thank you page is the page where you direct your subscriber immediately after they submitted their details. You should inform them about the confirmation email they&#8217;re about to received and also instructions on how to white-list your email address in case some spam arrestors block it. For the download page, it&#8217;s where you include information on how to download the free report and links to programs required to open up the file, e.g. Winzip for .zip and Adobe for .pdf&#8230;</p>
<p>Hint #2: Since they&#8217;ve sign up for your free gift, most probably they take up another offer of yours, especially if it&#8217;s free. Include your 2 other products affiliate links, <a title="My Free Website Builder!" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/freewebsitebuilder" target="_blank">My Free Website Builder</a> &amp; <a title="Free Monthly Gifts" href="http://www.EricTan.ws/recommends/freemonthlygifts" target="_blank">Free Monthly Gift</a> as the One-Time-Offer (OTO) or an upsell before directing them to the thankyou/download page for an extra income.</p>
<p>Last but not least, upload everything to your own domain, easier by using ftp, and test your url. To ensure no problem arise during any of the procedure, test it by subscribing with your own email and go through the entire process till the downloading part.</p>
<p>If everything goes smoothly, the main concern you should worry now is sending traffic to your squeeze/landing page. While I won&#8217;t cover much details about it here, but you may refer to my <a title="Top 10 Website Traffic Resources" href="http://www.erictan.ws/marketing-tips/top-10-website-traffic-generation-resources/" target="_blank">Top 10 Website Traffic Resources</a> recommendations from my previous post. For quick results, I advised you to use PPC or Traffic Exchanges.</p>
<p>For more ideas on how to setup the squeeze page, you can subscribe to the one I&#8217;ve setup where I offered a free report of &#8220;Ebooks Profit Centers&#8221;. Watch carefully the steps required to complete the signing up process as well as how I offer &#8220;unadvertised bonuses&#8221; in my download areas. <a title="Free Special Report" href="http://www.erictan.ws/lcp/plrg/" target="_blank">Click here to sign up for the free report.</a></p>
<p>There you have it, 3 resources to build your own list, create your own products and a chance to get paid for doing little or nothing at all.</p>
<p>Tools needed:</p>
<ul>
<li> <a title="My Free Website Builder!" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/freewebsitebuilder" target="_blank">My Free Website Builder</a></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a week plus and nobody has chipped in to help me proceed for Ewen Chia&#8217;s Internet Marketing Event&#8230;</p>
<p>I shouldn&#8217;t have trust my friend to put up that cheap-looking widget to ask my readers to chip in and help me cover up the cost for the pathetic yet expensive workshop.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m wondering if you&#8217;re either skeptical of what Ewen could teach or in doubt of what secrets/tricks I could&#8217;ve learned from the Master of Affiliate Marketing? Right now I&#8217;m more worried about my reputation as a &#8220;respectable affiliate marketer&#8221; being tarnished!</p>
<p>Anyway I&#8217;ll give the chip-in event one last try before taking it down and dump it into my trash bin.</p>
<p>Okie, I&#8217;m going to give you 3 important resources today that&#8217;s capable of helping you build your own list, create your own products and get paid for doing nothing. What? Too good to be true&#8230; but that&#8217;s the truth!</p>
<p>No questions here. Just listen&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Resource #1</strong> &#8211; <a title="Free Monthly Gift Membership Site" href="http://www.EricTan.ws/recommends/freemonthlygifts" target="_blank"><em>Free Monthly Gift</em></a></p>
<p>Todd Gross, the weather man, has created this free giveaway membership site that&#8217;s updated with top quality downloads monthly. I&#8217;ve been a member for quite some time and I noticed he update the the gifts quite often, probably a week or two.</p>
<p>And these gifts are not some junks he picks off anyhow off the shelf, he personally choose only top-notch products that&#8217;s helpful to your business and lots of it are his own creations. Softwares, ebooks, audio/video tutorials&#8230; and lots more, you name it.</p>
<p>The most lucrative part is when you&#8217;ve signed up for his membership, he&#8217;ll offer you a chance to join his referral program where you&#8217;ll be able to get your own downline members.</p>
<p>But you&#8217;ll just have to help him get some members, because he&#8217;ll do all the promotions, emailing and selling to help you get sales. Now, every sales that he made will not be credited to him, but instead 100% of the profits will go straight into your paypal account.</p>
<p>If you currently have no subscribers in hand, this is your chance to build a massive list by giving this membership site away for free. Make sure you sign up the &#8220;beginners&#8221; referral program when offered, so Todd can provide you more marketing tools and tips on how to capture leads.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I said you can build your own list as well as get paid practically for doing nothing at all!</p>
<p>So what are you waiting for?</p>
<p><a title="Free Monthly Gift Membership Site" href="http://www.EricTan.ws/recommends/freemonthlygifts" target="_blank">Sign up for the FREE MONTHLY GIFT membership here &gt;&gt;<br />
</a></p>
<p><strong>Resources #2</strong> &#8211; <a title="My Free Website Builder!" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/freewebsitebuilder" target="_blank"><em>My Free Website Builder</em></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve written a review on this $197 value desktop software program earlier on. Basically this easy to use WYSIWYG website builder is a gem produced by the Ewen Chia to all marketers who wanted to build simple websites but are either put off by those expensive or hard to learn software programs like, e.g. Dreamweaver, FrontPage, Ewisoft, TrendyFlash, A4&#8230; etc.</p>
<p>MFWB also comes with preload website templates, and video tutorials to guide you in creating your own website the fastest and easiest way. The navigation and tool bars are sufficient and user friendly, it&#8217;s so easy to use that I don&#8217;t even need help from the videos.</p>
<p>Now comes the exciting part&#8230;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever use NVU (also a free website builder), you&#8217;ll know that it&#8217;s a great program that&#8217;s believed to be the main competitor for Dreamweaver and Frontpage in terms of popularity. If anyone ask me to recommend a website builder, I&#8217;ll send him immediately to NVU&#8217;s download page.</p>
<p>But when I come to think of it as a markter&#8217;s shoes, most of the time I send people to download page is when transactions are/about to be done. We&#8217;re talking about maximizing your &#8220;profit centers&#8221; here (you&#8217;ll understand in the report I&#8217;m about to give you for free later), so where are the benefits?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the difference MFWB makes when compare with other website builder software. Ewen build this software with every marketers in mind, so he included an opportunity for the users to earn &#8220;free cash&#8221; even if it&#8217;s just to give it away for free.</p>
<p>And I really did make some sales just by writing a review for it. I won&#8217;t reveal too much here, go ahead and download the software and discover the opportunity yourself (you don&#8217;t even need your email for this)&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="My Free Website Builder!" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/freewebsitebuilder" target="_blank">Download MY FREE WEBSITE BUILDER here &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>P.S. You&#8217;ll need a website builder later for the resource below.</p>
<p><strong>Resource #3</strong> &#8211; <a title="PLRGold 5 Preview" href="http://www.privatelabelrightsgold.com/index.htm?&amp;aff_id=1796&amp;camp_id=113" target="_blank"><em>Private Label Rights Gold 5</em></a></p>
<p>The BIGGEST PLR blowout of 2007 is about to take place in about 2 weeks time. This will be Edmund Loh&#8217;s fifth and final release of PLRGold, so you can expect it&#8217;s going to be BIG!</p>
<p>Some hints on what to expect:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can milk the profits from the biggest collection of brand new PLR products in your own name&#8230;</li>
<li>Learn Internet&#8217;s most ingenious tactics from the PLR &#8220;extraordinaire&#8221; himself&#8230;</li>
<li>Create new products without the chores of copywriting or graphic designing&#8230;</li>
<li>&#8230; and lots more!</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the launch date is still quite a time distance away, I shall not divulge too much secrets here. So why am I mentioning this if it&#8217;s not launch yet?</p>
<p>There are 2 reasons that I brought this up:</p>
<ol>
<li>I&#8217;ve noticed although it&#8217;s not live yet, the preview page is up for their visitors to sign up for the advance notification list, and they&#8217;re rewarding you 3 preview copies to PLRGold Master Rights Pack 5.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m invited to participate as one of their JV partners to help promote PLRGold 5 prior to launch, hence I came up with this idea of further increase my subscriber list as well as my income by taking full advantage of this situation. I&#8217;ll discuss with you further in details, the exact methods and procedures on how to implement this plan.</li>
</ol>
<p><a title="PLRGold 5 Preview" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.privatelabelrightsgold.com/index.htm?&amp;aff_id=1796&amp;camp_id=113" target="_blank">Claim your 3 preview reports here &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p><a title="PLRGold JV Partnership" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.erictan.ws/recommends/plrgoldjv" target="_blank">Joint Venture with PLRGold and start making your own profits &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>Go sign up with whatever you need to sign up and download whatever you want to download. I&#8217;ll continue again tomorrow and discuss the exact methods and procedure with you on how to combine and utilize these 3 resources to build your list and income.</p>
<p>P.P.S. I suggest you sign up to all 3 resources above and look out for (Part 2) for more tips and marketing tools&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are promoting other vendor&#8217;s product using their affiliate sales pages or affiliate links, you are most likely to lose a potential customer if they are not buying anything on their first visit.</p>
<p>You may have heard of this, studies have shown that you need to show your sales page an average number of 7 times before they really pull out their credit cards to buy a product.</p>
<p>But the problem is how are you able to follow up with a customer in order to show them your sales page again and again?</p>
<p>There are in fact many ways to do this, but the most common method is to create an opt-in form for them to fill up their names and email addresses provided you have some html knowledge.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s rather easy to do this if you are selling your own products and have full access to modify your web pages. But now I&#8217;m talking about promoting other people&#8217;s product where usually they&#8217;ll provide you with their fully optimized sales page hosted on their own websites. I can bet most likely they wouldn&#8217;t help you to insert your opt-in form on anywhere of their sales page just because you are helping them to sell.</p>
<p>An affiliate sales page is shared by all affiliates, the difference only is each and other affiliates are given their own individual customized affiliate links. If they were to help you place an opt-in form, imagine how are they going to find space to fit in for their other 100 or so affiliates that are also promoting their products? And most of the time, your affiliate vendors already have their own opt-in form put up somewhere.</p>
<p>So, in order to capture a subscriber, you need to create your own mini pages like a &#8220;squeeze page&#8221; or a &#8220;lead capture page&#8221;. You&#8217;ll then type in some brief descriptions and benefits of the product you&#8217;re promoting, of course, you&#8217;ll need to attach your opt-in form and &#8220;free gifts&#8221; so as to exchange for their names and emails. This method is currently more commonly used by all affiliate marketers nowadays.</p>
<p>But through my many years of experience tells me, it is not the most effective method I&#8217;ve seen, after all, asking your customer to navigate extra pages to reach what you have to offer may sometimes pissed them off.</p>
<p>Is there any other lead capturing method other than the above mentioned?</p>
<p>Well, I happened to come up with an idea one day when I was doing some testing on improving my sales conversion. I realized if you place your opt-in form inside a pop-ups, your visitors are more likely to subscribe. I know you probably don&#8217;t like pop-ups or flying ads to show up at the webpage you are visiting, but in a marketing perception, no one can doubt it&#8217;s effectiveness.</p>
<p>Question is, how are you going to insert the code that&#8217;s only doable on your own webpages? Here&#8217;s the tricky part&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>You must have your own domain and web hosting service in order to carry out these process.</li>
<li>You need to know the source code or with the help of a software program to cloak your affiliate link and at the same time to insert the scripts of the pop-up ads using any html editor.</li>
<li>Name and save it as a html file (e.g. index.html or yourproductname.html) and upload to your appropriate folder (e.g. yourdomainname.com/folder/index.html) using a ftp software. You can ask your webmaster to help you if you&#8217;re not sure about this step.</li>
<li>Test it by typing in the url where you&#8217;ve uploaded your webpage into your web browser. Make sure when the webpage you&#8217;ve open shows the pop-up that have your opt-in form inside and you&#8217;re done!</li>
</ol>
<p>Now that you&#8217;ve implement the &#8220;pop-up opt-in form&#8221; to your affiliate web page, you&#8217;re now more certain that even if they don&#8217;t buy during their first visit, you have other chances of showing them the page again another time if they chose to opt-in for your great offers.</p>
<p>The only thing you should worry is that the pop-up script you use, most people would have installed pop-up blockers on their pc or web browser, but there are some script which is unblockable. They are many kinds of scripts available online, do your own research and choose one that fits your needs.</p>
<p>Lastly, make sure you inform the product owner and get their approval before doing this so that they know you are helping them to sell their product in a more effective way. A wise marketer will not have any objection but instead ask you how you do it?</p>
<p>Be prepared for your list to boom overnight, and have fun making sales!</p>
