About two months ago, I stumbled across an offer by Michael Rasmussen’s named Get More Buyers. In his video course, he showed couple of ways to get a list of buyers instead of a list of subscribers or (simply freebie seekers) that many Internet Marketing Gurus taught. Well, I have fast forward the first couple of lessons, and find that one thing he mentioned in the video course is indeed quite useful - Warrior Forum Special Offer.

What is Warrior Forum Special Offer?

For someone who is just started their online marketing business, Warrior forum is a place that many gurus are hanging out to exchange ideas, looking for good deal, offering good deal etc etc. I have to say warrior forum is probably #1 place to learn internet marketing if you have tight budget of just get started.

Make Money Online With The Warrior Forum Special Offer (aka WSO)

The warrior forum has an advertising board called the special offer. You can advertise your service or products to big gurus that don’t see anywhere else around in the Internet beside there. The product or service has to be original and it has to be a good bargain. Like something, $5 - $10 for a 27 page report teaching how to make money online etc.

By meaning original, the product can not be a rehashed product from a private label right or any form of resale license materials that you own. In the other words, the guys out there is a bit tricky on the quality of the products.

To be honest, I haven’t tried the special offer section because I haven’t got an original product yet but it is a section that worthwhile of trying because I ended up a few times pull out of my credit card and buy something that is very cheap and have a good potential to make me money. (Hint: Business is about buying and selling just like what a normal retail shop does. They buy goods from a wholesaler with a lot price often a fraction cheaper than a retail and sell a higher price to their customer like you and me. The differences than is a net profit. Of course, there is other expenses to run your business so you need a balance sheet to keep record.)

Make Money Online From Warrior Forum Classified Ad

Although I haven’t yet tried the WSO, however, I tried Warrior Forum Classified Ad section. Instead of posting strict rules about the offering product or service like you have in WSO, the classified ad simply has no rules at all. (As long as your offer is legal in my opinion) For my experiment on Vince Tan Biggest Firesale cash Rebate, which I sold 10 copies through my link up-to-date, I found most of my sales (4/10) are from Warrior forum.

I simply posted my cash rebate offer there and paid $20 for the entry fees and that’s it, I’ve got sales. The reason may due to the fact my offer is attractive, (heck nearly 50% discount on Vince Biggest Firesale, think about it, who didn’t want that?) Of course, I also wrote a copy saying that the audience didn’t need another bonuses like many other gurus offering because I did believe the package is very complete and covering many aspect of Internet marketing. So from my past observation, I found a cash rebate would be attractive and I decided to give a whopping $45 cash rebate for each copy that my audience bought. Honestly this is a simplified version on what I did, in real life, there is couple of skills you have to master. One is the landing page design, the other is copy writing and more importantly the quality of your offer. Anyway I am no expert on that, but you can read mybiggest firesale Warrior Ad Here and the Biggest Firesale Bonus landing page here.

The end result

Well, the biggest firesale campaign isn’t end yet by the time of this writing, but I can tell you for about a week event I ended up with 10 more buyers in my list who are willing to spend at least $97 so that I know who to market later with products or services that have this price tag.

So it comes to another marketing skills that you should master and I did not talk about it yet and it’s called the sales funnel. Later, I will share what I know about this topics so stay tuned.

Affiliate marketing is booming like never before. Nevertheless it tends to have a quite high percentage of failure. It seems that people that are drawn to affiliate marketing don’t have access to the right information or are lacking basic skills or abilities. It certainly takes time to get used to being exposed to that overload of information the internet represents today and at the same time filter the information needed and staying focused on the tasks necessary to build an online business.

My suggestion is to step back and analyze how successful people are doing affiliate marketing. Having studied them for quite a while, analyzing and testing their methods three main principles have repeatedly come to the surface:

1. Affiliate Marketing is about niches and markets. Choosing the wrong market to start an online business in will definitely not bring success. It is critical to engage in deep niche research before
deciding on a market or niche. It is somewhat surprising that the top huge niches like sports, work at home, weight loss and diet, pets, health and others are still not saturated and people starting their business in one of these niches begin making money often from day one.

2.Getting your own domain and website and not only promoting affiliate programs and products through the affiliate links provided by the affiliate merchant is another principle you should pay attention to
from the beginning. Once you establish your internet present through a domain you own, the possiblity that people will join your opportunity will be much greater. Advertising the opportunity through your own domain will open more advertising channels than you have access to with only an affiliate link.

3.Having your website set up and optimized for the search engines, it is important to not overload it
with animated banners and ads from all the products you are affiliated with. Try to stick to just a few and publish useful information, tools and reviews on your website. Anything people searching for products in that niche will find helpful is a winner. Through an autoresponder optin box on your site
you can capture the names and emails of interested future customers and build your list all at once.

What is Hubpages?

According to Wikiepedia, Hubpages is “a website designed around sharing advertising revenue for high-quality, user-generated content. The interface resembles predecessors like Squidoo, allowing members to create individual pages on narrow topics of general interest. HubPages differs from other blog networking sites by using the Google AdSense API to manage revenue-sharing with writers.”
It pretty much likes another sites called squidoo or Google Knol.

SEO and hubpages

when I first used hubpages, I have no interest to make money through them but provide me a good permanent back link to this site or other sites. After experimenting few times, I do find Google index hubpages hub very fast, less than 24 hours and what’s more their links are “do follow” meaning the link is going to count when search engine such as Google determines your site search engine ranking.

How Does Hubpages work?

It’s pretty easy, and the registration is free. Once you’ve signed up and logged into your account, and click on “start a new hub” and you will be presented a page with so called “capsule”. You can add text, photos, links, videos, polls as well as revenue capsules such as ebay and amazon.

A hub is done editing but not yet published.

Once you finished editing your hub, you can press the “submit for publication” button and submit for human review.

Hubpages rules

Your hub may flagged as an over commercial hubs which results in unpublished and need to revise so before you write the hub, make sure:

1. Use original contents - You can rewrite from some PLR articles or any articles that you’ve published on your blog but the key point is make it original treat it like your will do when submitting articles to ezinearticles.com
2. don’t post too many links, their guidelines said as most as two and don’t just post a link to your site, mix them up. Find some useful contents on the web and just a make a reference there
3. Make the hub as interesting and informative as possible. That way, the users in hubpages will not think it is a commercial hub and flagged you as a spammer

With this technique I have explained, you can sure gather more links using hubpages and squidoo. Go and try for yourself tonight and get better ranking in search engines!
