Marketing on YouTube for Affiliate Marketers: What you Need to Know and Do to GROW your Followers

Affiliate marketers have heard the secret to making online sales is to have a list, and to grow that list so you have an ever-increasing list of potential buyers. This is 100% true. Now what about Social Media? Growing your "list" on social media is about growing your followers, your subscribers. Email marketing involves emailing your list of subscribers or borrowing someone else's list and sending out offers. Social Media marketing involves SPEAKING directly to your subscribers/ followers and building relationships with your viewers that may lead to sales. It all starts with 1 good video on a topic that is of keen interest to many.  Let's talk about YouTube and how Affiliate Marketers can grow your own following / subscribers (and list) to build your sales machine. So the question becomes what are you going to talk about in your videos to get interest, and keep interest? First, decide what your first Video is going to be about, who is your ideal viewer, what do you want to convey and achieve with your video.  It's helpful to find someone who is doing NOW what you want to do.  Find someone in your industry with a large following. Watch them, learn, how and what to they say and do,  make your own to fit your niche.  When getting started, keep your video productions simple, as you get more comfortable and grow you can get more sophisticated later. Think big. If you are going to take the time to plan your videos, record your videos with the goal of generating buzz you need to plan for growth.   Plan on doing a SERIES of videos, short, topic specific videos that provide good content, interesting or entertaining content.   Catchy titles for your videos with key words targeting your niche are vital. Example Video Title: How to get FREE Advertising for your Affiliate Marketing Links - STOP paying for ads, do this, it's free Suggested length of video: 2 - 5  minutes Goal of Your Youtube Video(s): Generate Associates, Generate Subscribers to your Channel (your list), Brand Yourself, Create Relationships with your followers. It's hard to talk about yourself in a video so start with the fact that people love stories, and they also love how-to information, if you have expertise to share then help others. Share expertise, secrets, strategies, favorite sites, sales tools, advertising aids, sales suggestions, tips, tricks, what works for you, what doesn't work, reviews...it's all a possibility.  When you talk in your videos speak directly to the viewer as an individual. Be respectful.  Suggested content and topics: -Your experience as an affiliate marketer, why you like the industry -What you know now that you wish you had known then -Your favorite Worldprofit resources / software / tools / training component -What works for you, what doesn't work -Reviews of your favorite, sites, products, affiliate marketing programs -How to do this....how to do that...  -Benefits of Worldprofit's free Associate Membership, how to sign up, get free stuff for joining -How to get free advertising from Worldoprift (sign up for a free Associate membership, give your own URL to sign up under you) -How you found Worldprofit. What appealed to you about Worldprofit, why they are so very different. -How to start and grow your own online business as a free Associate member at Worldprofit -If you have expertise in a specific industry/ niche, share it, invite people to follow you to learn more on that topic  -It's ok not to be perfect, to be a little different, stand out from the crowd, be your own unique brand. -Benefits of being a free Associate member (free advertising etc, sign up, login,explore what Worldprofit offers ) -Benefits of being a Silver Member, a Platinum VIP Member -During your video and at the end always ask for viewers to subscribe to your channel AND to sign up for a free Worldprfoit Associate membership (include your URL/landing page)  Brain Food: In your Worldprofit Product Vault are a number of resources, and training aids for marketing on YouTube, and other social media,  do a search, download free.  IMPORTANT: Do not make any income claims in your videos.

Into the Future: Advanced Methods to Drive Traffic to a Website

With the thousands of websites now on the Internet, it is not difficult to imagine why traffic is such an important issue for online marketing experts. Website traffic, at its simplest, means that people go regularly to your site ? and by this, we mean unique, human, living and breathing visitors, not just search engine robots (which, of course, count for visitors on many tallies). Another dimension of traffic includes the duration of stay of visitors on a site. Some people will stay on a site for a few seconds, then click away from it because it is not attractive or useful enough, or even because it is difficult to navigate or confusing to look at. Other people will stay on a site for hours, and for many different reasons: a site?s contents can be extremely useful, its navigation can be intuitive and easy to decipher, and the site itself is friendly to visitors and entertaining or engaging to readers. In order to make your site all these, and to drive traffic to your website, you will need to employ many different methods, both site and traffic wise. First of all, you need to know the power of the two major bigwigs that ensure Internet surfing ease today: the taggers and the search engines. Taggers are actual humans: they are your average Internet users who access digg and stumbleupon, who look at social networks, and who are immersed well enough in the universe of the Internet so that they know the likes, dislikes, whims, desires, and quirks of the members of the web world. In order to prosper online, you need to catch the attention of these taggers. First of all, start making yourself visible in social tagging networks. Digg and stumbleupon are only the two major players; try to network as well in larger places such as FaceBook, MySpace, Multiply, or Friendster, or anywhere where people congregate and exchange ideas and links. When fashioning your profile in these networks, always include the URL of your website, and maintain a simple blog that either links to your main blog, or has useful articles that will make people go to your main URL. The other major players are the search engines. Search engines index your site under certain keywords or key phrases, and through the help of crawling and indexing software called spiders or robots. Such software will pick up keywords and key phrases from the text content of your site, and will place your site under the listings for these keywords and key phrases if the keywords and key phrases appear at a certain density. When users search for these keywords and key phrases in the search engine, then your site will appear at a certain ranking, depending on your popularity. Take note of the fact that it is your site text content that is considered when determining your indexing status, not your graphics. Search engines crawl only through text, so you may want to put your important information in text, not graphics, such as animation or videos. If you have important animation or videos, then places descriptions for such files so that the search engines can still recognize the presence of such multimedia. You also need to take note that not all your users will be patient enough to wait for large graphics and multimedia files to download, so you may want to take advantage of text and place all important information on immediately. There are also advertisement networks that you can join in order to make your site more visible, but you need to take care of your website first to ensure that traffic is directed again and again onto your online home.

4 Differences Between Websites And A Blog

Blogs are sites where a person can put a shared journal or a businesses can even promote their website. There have been a lot of questions out there lately of how a blog works and how they are different from other website. There are usually 4 basic differences that make a Blog unique from a website. 1. Posts Posts are said to be the core function of any blog. It is the building blocks of the blog and it is what holds the blog together. The posting on the blog is most generally done by the blog owner and is usually on a variety of different topics. Also another distinct difference between a blog and a website is on the blog the postings will appear in chronological order. With a website you do not have to post. It is just a basic site where a person may go to obtain information on a certain product or idea. 2. Comments On a blog visitors are allowed to leave comments, if you the owner authorize it, on your posts. It is also a good way for a reader of your blog and you to communicate. The comment section of your blog also helps drive visitors to your site. The comment section is a very important component of any blog. With a website you do not have to have a comment section. 3. Categories The category section of your blog is basically where the information from the posts or posted content is organized. It keeps your site looking neat and well formatted. It also prevents your blog from looking overcrowded. For bigger Blogs the categories can be organized by month or even topic. There is also usually a search feature that assists the reader to find information on a certain topic quickly. Usually the blog has software that automatically places your posts into various categories. 4. Subscriptions This is a very important aspect when you want to learn how a Blog works. The subscription features allows readers to become a member of the blog and once they become a member of the blog they can be notified when new information is placed on a blog. This is a great reason to create a blog as it allows you to create an online community on a certain topic. Some blog sites are now implementing a news letter feature which allows a person to read your information without even having to sign into the site. As you can see there are some big differences between a blog and a website. The more differences you understand the more you will understand Blogging. A Blog can be a fun and exciting way to meet new people while sharing your ideas, if they are understood correctly
