I am looking to earn an additional income alongside my day job, with tasks to be completed in the evening.
I have thought about offering my services of designing and sending emails for small companies in the local area to help promote and advertise their products and services. This would include looking at the analysis and advising the customer.
Primarily I would take orders through a website, but may promote the idea with cold calling around local businesses
I am a qualified marketing person which adds credence and I have a few years experience of managing these type of campaigns, so I feel it is a natural extension of what I am already doing
Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience of doing anything similar or any thoughts on this idea?

I’m in marketing as well, I’m a sales person. My thoughts would be try to line up some potential clients first and see how that goes. Even if you get one client first and make next o nothing from him it might be worth it to see how you could evolve from that.

I don’t know if you do sales at all in your job but I can grantee you that it will be harder then you think to get clients to come on board unless you have a good connection with them already.

Hope this helps.

Email Marketing has increased users by 50% between the years 2004 and 2006!

It is now 2007 and obviously it isnt hard to realise there are more and more Autoresponders being created for this type of market, especially targeting small businesses mainly in the US and the UK.

I would love to create an autoresponder, as I have been a custom to one for atleast 14 months now.

I know what the demand is, I know what an autoresponder should have and can do without.

However, if I was to create an Email Marketing website, would finding my website to all of the other existing email marketing websites be like finding a needle in a haystack?

It certainly is a good business idea, but do you believe it is too late for this type of busines to be created now that there are already so many others out there?

Will it be like a smart choice bar of chocolate compared to cadburys?

Advice? x

Do you think someone will give you his ideas ?
Would you tell your secrets to someone who would be on same market?
Do you think we are silly to let you take our money?

Introduction to Affiliate Network Marketing

Have you heard of Ewen Chia? He is the world’s #1 affiliate marketer. Have you wondered how he did it? Today I am going to show you the 3 tips on how you can become a super affiliate network marketing expert so that you can earn this extra income to fund your MLM business. Before I begin, let me show you a short introduction to affiliate network marketing business model.

Affiliate network marketing is the same as affiliate marketing. It’s about promoting other people network marketing information products online. Being an affiliate, there are pros and cons.

1)    Being an affiliate, there is no maintenance required. You don’t have to provide customer support and handle customer complaints and refunds. Your job is to promote it and make sales.

2)    Instead of spending time creating your own products, doing testing, trial and error, you can focus all your time doing marketing, building your list and writing responsive emails.

3)    The disadvantage is that you are focusing on branding the creator name and his products. It goes viral and everyone knows his name and products. You are helping to promote his Brand rather than promoting yourself.

3 Tips on becoming an affiliate network marketing Expert

When I first started out in 2007, I started out becoming an affiliate promoting affiliate network marketing information products. My goal is to build a list of targeted prospects who wants to succeed in network marketing. If you promote an affiliate product that is irrelevant to network marketing, chances is that it will be very difficult to pitch your business opportunity in the long run.

After struggling in network marketing for 5 years trying to build my MLM business, I decided to look for help. I found my mentor. He taught me the 5 secrets to become an affiliate network marketing expert.

1)    The first thing that every affiliate marketer must have is a squeeze page and a thank you page. It is also called the lead capture page. It is to capture your prospects name and email address. Now why do they want to do that? You offer them a free report like an e-book that is relevant to network marketing.

2)    Once you set up your lead capture page, you have to learn to direct traffic to your lead capture page. Traffic generation is the life source of your affiliate marketing campaign. No traffic means no leads and therefore no list to sell your affiliate network marketing products to.

3)    Email marketing. Before you build a list, you need to purchase an auto responder and then create follow up emails to build relationship with your prospects. The number one step when you build your list is to earn your prospects trust. To do that, you need to provide them with quality information about network marketing.

The common mistakes that most affiliate marketer do is to hard sell their prospects. They write hype sales letter instead of writing an informative article to teach their list. Desperation of making quick money will lead to the death of your affiliate network marketing campaign.

3 Crucial Advice about network marketing

Indeed, online prospecting in network marketing is simple and easy. Allow me to give you 3 crucial advice about network marketing.

1)    Online prospecting takes time. Most affiliate marketers rush to make fast money rather on creating an asset by building a responsive list. There is no such thing as a “get rich quick” marketing system. You need to think and write quality email newsletter to build relationship with your list.

2)    Focus on traffic generation. Many affiliate marketers always look for a better affiliate products or pays higher commission rather on focusing on driving traffic to their website or lead capture page. I have seen so many people fall away from the right track and wasted a lot of time instead of driving traffic.

3)    Create a network marketing blog. Set up a network marketing blog and fill it with contents to build relationship with your list. Consistency plays a very important role. You need to be consistent in updating your blog, posting new and fresh content to educate your prospects. Blogging is a very good way to brand yourself as an expert. When your prospects visit your professional blog with great contents, you will instantly gain credibility for yourself.


Conclusion

So we have touch a lot of key topics on how to promote affiliate network marketing products and how to generate extra income to fund your MLM business by building your list. I wish to explain to you more about how to drive traffic to your website or squeeze page and how to write responsive network marketing emails to build relationship with your prospects but it will go on forever.

Remember the advice about network marketing I share with you today. It will speed up your success and make money online to fund your MLM business. A gentle reminder, be not easily distracted by other better business opportunities. My advice about network marketing will help you to have a head start. If you want more information and tools to help build your network marketing business online, simply go to my resource box and click onto my link. I look forward to see you on the inside.

If charity email marketing isn’t part of your business plan, then you are missing out on a cost-effective, easy-to-use tool that will surely increase donor involvement and contributions.

Adding charity email marketing to your marketing mix will help you phase out other over-priced, time-consuming methods of marketing and communications. As an NPO, it is necessary to keep your member informed about initiatives and events. However, it is not necessary to spend a fortune doing this. Email is faster, easier and more affordable than printed letters and flyers. On top of it all, it’s also more effective, since people nowadays check their emails more often than their regular mail.

In terms of price, it is probably the only form of direct marketing that will cost you only $10 to reach one thousand people interested in what you have to say.

Nonprofit email marketing will also put you in full control over the final product, as it is so easy to use. So, not only do you save time by being able to produce your campaigns in-house, you also cut out the middle man. Using charity email marketing is simply a matter of uploading images and cutting and pasting content into the hundreds of templates provided. In fact, it’s easier than most things you’re already doing on your computer.

What if you don’t have the time to do this? One option is to sign-up for full-service email marketing. But, if you don’t want to spend money on that, you can simply train a volunteer. Charity email marketing services are set up so that even the least computer savvy of us can be a marketing expert.

Charity email marketing is also very easy to integrate into your existing communications strategy. In particular, there are 3 email formats that can be especially beneficial for your NPO: 1.The Newsletter, 2. The Promotional Ad and 3. The Thank You Postcard. These emails can be sent out to every one of your contacts, but are specifically useful for previous donors or prospective donors. Below are a few tips for success with these 3 handy email formats.

The Newsletter:
Charity newsletters detail the past, present and future events put on by your organization. Of course, any other relevant material can be included in the Charity email marketing newsletter. The purpose of the newsletter is to show everyone (but especially donors) what the money is being used for (or for prospective donor, what it can be used for), making the donor feel ownership for the differences they are making (or envision the difference they can make), giving them the impetus to donate again (or for the first time). Remember that the more informative your newsletter is, the better. That being said, the shorter your newsletter is, the easier it is to keep your audience captivated. So, the trick is to provide useful and relevant content in the briefest way possible. It’s also important to include links in your email, so interested readers can click the links to visit your website (or an event website) for more information.

The Promotional Ad:
Because you have kept your donors’ attentions with the newsletter, and they have practically witnessed how their donated dollars are being put to use, sending out promo ad emails for your fundraising events will have a more profound effect on their coming forth with a donation. By including promotional ads in every step of the process, you establish that the donor now has a relationship with the organization. When the promos come around to the donor’s inbox, he or she will feel a proprietary inclination to donate.

The Thank you Postcard:
The hope is that you will be sending out tons of these, as they are the optional last step in your business cycle for charity email marketing. These are the ‘thank you for donating/participating’ emails (also great for volunteers). Thank you emails are another important point in continuing the relationship with those involved in your organization. They show your appreciation to your donors and volunteers, without whom your organization would not be able to exist. The top email marketing programs have beautiful templates for Thank You postcards that can be sent via email. (Remember: sending an email postcard instead of a paper one also means you are taking an extra step to save the environment).

Charity email marketing is so affordable and easy-to-use that it will become your new favorite way to communicate with your interested parties. Before, during or after any of your events, you can keep your donors and other important contributors informed by sending out email marketing newsletters. Then, when it comes time for donations, use the promotional ad to remind them that their contributions are what keep your organization thriving. Finally the Thank You email postcard will keep that relationship active after the fundraising event has taken place, until the cycle begins again. Charity email marketing will change the way your NPO operates!

Email marketing is an excellent tool to use for tapping into new markets and reaching out to prospective leads, but it can also be a great way to build customer loyalty and retain customers as well. One of the keys to great communication through an email marketing campaign is to know how often you should communicate with your customers. This is definitely a fine line that needs to be mastered in order to make sure that your email marketing campaigns are effective without going overboard.

Many businesses make the mistake of thinking that if they send out a message once a year, around the holidays, they are doing their part for staying in touch with their customers. While this is certainly a good start, it is definitely not enough and email marketing provides a way to make communication with your existing customer base far more effective.

Certainly, you do not want to send communications to customers so frequently that they feel you are spamming them, but it is important to build a consistent routine regarding your email campaign with your existing customer base. The exact amount of times that you email your customers could vary on your business and the types of services and/or products that you provide. Many businesses find it helpful to send out messages two to four times per month.

Communication is essential is keeping a customer. As most businesspeople know, it is far more expensive to acquire a new customer than to sell to an existing customer, so it only makes sense to make sure that you do what you can to engender customer loyalty and make sure that your customers remain with you. As with any relationship, whether it is business or professional, communication is essential. Email marketing provides a way to stay in touch with your customers and nourish those important relationships. Even more importantly, email marketing also provides a way to quickly and easily personalize messages to your customer base. Furthermore, you can make sure that you stay at the forefront of your customer’s mind with frequent communication.

Remember that you do not just have to send out communication to customers whenever you have a product or service to promote, although that should certainly be done as well. It is also a great idea to send out messages to customers when you run across something that you think might be interesting and helpful to your customers. This type of communication will certainly be appreciated and remembered by your customers, furthering their loyalty to your company.

A well executed email marketing campaign can be your best friend when it comes down to keeping your customers. Not only does it serve to help to retain customer loyalty but it also provides an excellent tool for selling back-end products as well, which can be the heart and soul of any businesses’ success. By looking at ways that you can increase communication through email marketing with your customers, you may just find a completely new avenue for revenue for your company.

I’ll keep this real simple for you - network marketing is, and always has been, a people business. All successful MLM is going to come down to how effectively you work with people; face to face, over the phone and through your electronic communications. You have a remarkable suite of tools at your disposal today - the internet, social networking sites, email, blogs - they’re all superior prospecting and marketing tools. But, never lose sight of this fact: behind every email, every click, every blog post and every solicitation of any kind, is a real live human being. And, people want to conduct business with people, not electronic wizardry.

In your network marketing business, you’ll be working with people on three distinct levels. We’ll look at the three levels and examine the importance of your people skills in each area.

The first level is your upline and more specifically, your immediate sponsor. This is the person who more than likely introduced you to the business and who you’ll consider joining to build a business of your own. It is critically important to the long term success of your business that you choose your sponsor wisely. Basically, your sponsor should be the person you aspire to become. Your sponsor will especially help you in the early stages of your business building efforts. The beginning is the most critical time for any new business, it’s very easy to get discouraged up front if things don’t start to click right away. Your sponsor should be ready, willing and able to provide you with a decent amount of hand holding. You wouldn’t want to become overbearing to your sponsor but at the same time, he or she should be easy enough to line up for coaching or three way phone calls.

The questions you’d want to ask of your potential sponsor to help you determine whether or not they’re a good fit for your business goals - and more importantly the answers they provide - are beyond the scope of this article but will be addressed in the next installment. Your sponsor is a member of your overall upline team. Although it’s difficult to determine the competency of your upline people until after you’ve started your business, chances are pretty good that they’ll share similar qualities with your sponsor. (Just think of the whole “birds of a feather” thing.) The overall upline team is important because you’ll become a member of that team. Is it a team you wish to be a part of?

The next level of people you’ll be working with is your downline; the people you’ll be sponsoring into your business. Will you be taking your business seriously? If so than the last thing you’d want to do is invite just anyone into your organization. I cannot stress this enough, network marketing is a serious business as long as you treat it that way. Do you think Bill Gates built Microsoft into the organization it is today because he threw the doors open on day one and invited just anyone to come in and work with him? Or do you think perhaps he interviewed people and made a logical assessment of whether or not they were right for his business growth? You’ve got to do the same. With the right people on your team your success will be inevitable. If you sponsor just anyone with a pulse into your business, you’ll be setting yourself up for many long days of frustration, lost time and lost money.

Here’s the rule of thumb in network marketing - if you were to find just two serious business building partners a year, you’ll be well on your way to financial freedom. That’s not to say that everyone you interview for your business has to be a superstar. Sometimes, a superstar will take a little time to develop. You may consider somebody as a business partner without expecting too much out of them. Next thing you know, they may just experience a Darwinesque progression as time goes on. Here’s the bottom line: be a little picky and be a little choosey on who you bring on board as a business partner and you’ll be just fine.

I’d like to offer you one last word on this - like attracts like. Do you want to find serious business builders to work with? Then make sure that you first are a serious business builder. People want leadership, they seek out leadership. Develop yourself as a leader and as a business person and you can then expect to attract the best people into your organization.

There are a number of questions you’d want ask of your potential business partners. However, those questions are beyond the scope of this article and will be addressed in a future installment. But, for now, suffice it to say that asking only a few key questions will help you to thin the herd rather quickly and find the people who will best compliment your business.

The final level is the people who will become your retail customers. Not everyone you speak with will join your business but chances are pretty good that many of them may become your customers. If these people trust you and appreciate the knowledge you have on the product line you represent then they will want to buy from you. All I can say here is that if people are interested to hear more about your products, give them the story. What I would caution you against is being too pushy or aggressive. NOBODY likes to be sold but everyone LOVES to buy. People will happily buy things for their own, emotional reasons. However, if somebody is sold something, chances are good buyer’s remorse will eventually take over. When people buy for their own reasons they will be good, loyal, repeat customers. However, if you have to sell them on using your product line it will more than likely be a one shot deal. So, why risk alienating someone just to make a single sale?

This is the fifth in a series of articles on the MLM / social marketing / network marketing industry. In the next article I’ll give you some ideas on the questions you’d want to ask of both your potential upline and downline business partners. Your business partners, on many levels, are even more important than the company you get involved with.

If you’d like to ensure that you don’t miss out on any installments in this series, I’d be happy to send past and future articles directly to you. Just shoot me an email and I’ll include you on my direct distribution list.

You, Internet and Network Marketing – How does it work?

If you are reading this article, you must be wondering how internet is related in your network marketing business. Before I started to do online prospecting last year, I thought that building my MLM business on the internet is not possible. I have heard rumors that there are a lot of scams that tricked people into believing that it is possible to do online prospecting.

I have been doing traditional offline prospecting for almost 5 years in this industry. I have faced countless of rejections and done a lot of cold calls. Still there is no much success. Till last year in 2007, I decided to look for help. I found an Expert who is an Internet network marketer. We have a coaching session and he taught priceless lessons that help me to recruit hundreds of downlines in less than 3 months.

2)    Set up your leads generation system. Leads are your lifeblood of your internet and network marketing business. Without leads, there is no one to pitch your business opportunity or sell your products. Example of a leads generation system is article marketing.

3)    Set up your email marketing system. You need to purchase an auto responder to write emails and send it out to your prospects in automation. It acts as your sales assistant to help you build relationships with your prospects and sell your products.

Actually, there is no secret to success. You just have to adopt the right mindset and apply the right methods of building your internet and network marketing business. There is no two ways about it. You have to focus, remain focus at all times.

1)    The first thing you need to do is to create your squeeze page, often called the lead capture page. It is a mini website that you use to capture your prospects name and email address. The purpose is to follow up with them using the auto responder.

2)    Next, purchase an auto responder. I personally use “GetResponse.com” for most of my internet and network marketing campaigns. Create your opt in form and insert it in your squeeze page. If you do not know how to do it, you can purchase video tutorials or visit my blog at http://MLMBloglistExpert.com for free network marketing list building video tutorials.

3)    Direct traffic to your lead capture page. I can’t deny that traffic generation is the most difficult step in building your internet and network marketing business. Most people give up at this step as it could take weeks and months to drive traffic to your website. There is a few strategies you can apply to drive traffic.

My favorite traffic generation methods are article marketing and video marketing. Sometimes traffic can comes instantly using video marketing. It simply works like magic.

4)    Write responsive emails. Now you have a list. The next stumbling block you need to overcome is to create emails that are filled with content and soft selling. Network marketing prospecting starts in email marketing. To succeed in network marketing prospecting online, you need to build strong relationships with your prospects.

Once you have gained trust and credibility from your prospects, you can proceed to pitch your business opportunity to or sell network marketing home study courses.

5)    Finally, create your network marketing blog. This is the next step in network marketing prospecting. Blogging is a great way to brand yourself as an expert. You gained credibility instantly once you have great contents posted to your blog daily.
