Affiliate Marketing Journal: Day 2 Update

Update 1
I am currently in the process of setting up my first website for this journal the site will be in the health niche and will be established as a blog. The site will be montized using several different methods these being;

Google Adsense
CPA (Neverblue)
Affiliate Products (Clickbank, MarketHealth, Plimus)
My Own PLR Product

The site will have three main pages these being the home page of the blog. A page for opting in to the free newsletter list and a page for purchasing the PLR product of my own. Whilst using article marketing I will spread traffic to each of these pages and test conversions on each page.

When building a list I believe it is always important to have a page set up just to market the list to your potential subscribers. To list the benefits of subscribing to the website and the features of subscribing. It is also important to highlight a freebie/incentive that you will be giving away when the person subscribes. I also recommend using a professional newsletter service such as Aweber or GetResonse. Aweber is a little bit more expensive however it is very good, with lots of great features some of which I have not even used yet.

With the subscriber list I will be offering them a free mini tutorial which will last 10-20 days. Within this time I will soft sell several products, one being my own PLR product and secondly being products I am affiliated with. I will only soft sell these products because they are still new to the list and need easing in, they need to trust and respect me first before they are sold to.

The sales page will be a professional one page sales page similar to those you see on Clickbank, my main feature is the price of the product which will be very cheap since I will be taking 100% of the price of the product. It is always important when creating sales pages to highlight the features of the product and how that benefits the user. It is also good to offer testimonials, with pictures and contact details for extra support. Try and offer your users extensive ways to pay for the product so your not limiting their payment options and use a well known third party provider for transactions.

I will be using a free WP theme which I found yesterday, however I am planning on changing this to a unique design once I reach $200 per month with this site. The design for now, will be fully intergrated and I will try my best to customise the theme to ensure I can add all of the adverts I have chosen to use.

Update 2

Today has been a long day, as every Internet Marketer experiences we cannot always stick to our main focuses. Other priorities may find their way in to our daily schedule some more important than others. However as Internet Marketers we have to re-schedule, juggle things around and make time to fit everything in.

As I did today, I am almost finished setting up my first website which will be a health blog however I have some minor issues which are being sorted out as we speak. Apart from this I spent the majority of today creating accounts at Web 2.0 websites, forums (relating to one of my niches), email accounts (for registering accounts), Yahoo account (for Yahoo answers) and bookmarking each site within a pre-made folder labelled, forums, web 2.0 e.t.c

The point of this exercise is to ensure that I am organised and not having to waste time in the future trying to find certain sites or missing/forgetting certain sites because they have not been bookmarked. It is very important that whenever you create a new plan of action that you are organised.

Organisation is key

The plan of action for tomorrow has been listed and ready for the morning I think it is very important for both motivation and to ensure you reach your goals in life to make sure you take at least one small step each day to reach those goals. Otherwise you will become de-motivated and depressed.

Make sure you do at least one thing a day to help achieve your goals

Also I want to say thank you to everyone so far for your support.
