It’s called RAPBank, after the payment system Rapid Action Profits.

One of the big advantages of using RAP as a payment processor is, that it’s possible to have your affiliates earn instant commissions.

It’s exactly these kind of instant paying products using Rapid Action Profits that are listed in this RAPBank affiliate directory.

So, if you want to promote other people’s products and receive instant commissions, check out this new affiliate directory.

After signing up, you can use a variety of affiliate links to send traffic to this great new affiliate directory (and that’s exactly what I do here). If that leads to a sale, you will earn an affiliate commission just as if you were sending your visitor to that product site directly. And it works for ANY product listed on RAPBank — not just the one you sent them to see!

But there’s more, much more!

Because RAPBank lets vendors using RAP integrate their sales pages directly into the affiliate directory using a free add-on. So, within minutes after installing the add-on at your RAP site, your products get listed in RAPBank. How is that for extra promotion?

You’re only allowed to register one domain name for free. You can add additional domain names though by buying them in pack of 5 at 5 dollars per name.

The affiliate directory is a membership site in Wordpress, integrated by another RAP add-on. It’s so new, that it’s a tad confusing as to what you should do first, so let me help you a bit here.
In the Dashboard, you’ll need to click on ‘Getting Started’. There they explain how to verify your PayPal account in order to get your affiliate link.
The download page for the FREE RAP Bank Vendor Add-on is: http://rapbank.com/vendor/

There is a need for instant commission affiliate products. Some people, for instance at the Warrior forum, tried to generate a huge list of this kind of affiliate programs, but it’s a lot of work to keep such a list updated. That’s exactly what this new affiliate directory does.

Some amazing marketers, product owners, and especially a great number of affiliates have found RAP Bank already. Some “BIG Name” marketers are not only joining, but promoting!
Right now the affiliate directory contains a 350+ products, yes… with 200+ in the queue, submitted for approval.

I hope the next step is a kind of index system, that shows affiliates which products sell well. Sort of like Gravity in the Clickbank Marketplace. That will give a great indication of which products to promote.

But this is a great addition to the existing affiliate directories. In my opinion, recurring commission affiliate programs are amongst the best to promote, but there also definitely is a need for instant commissions.
RAPBank provides an overview of them and all you need to promote them is your primary PayPal email address.

Check it out. Sign up at RAPBank. It’s free, doesn’t cost you a penny. And if you see an interesting program, either buy it, from which I receive a nice commission , or promote the program.
Affiliate marketing doesn’t come easier than this.

After signing up, let me know what you think.
Do you think RAPBank is a great affiliate directory?

Looking forward to see your comments.

RAPBank, Affiliate Directory for Instant Commissions

The software industry uses the same free trial method. You can download the software package, sometimes in a limited version, and try it for a certain time period, after which the package becomes inactive unless you buy it.

Photo Credit: Thowra_uk

But let me ask you this question:

How many of the free trial software packages did you really test?
And how many free trial memberships that you’ve signed up to, did you really try out?

I bet there aren’t many.

That is the result of the human behavior. We always want to sign up for every opportunity we see that is of the slightest interest to us, without really asking ourselves if we really NEED it.
People sign up (and buy for that matter) for things they WANT, but may not NEED.

And we only use a paid membership or software package if we really NEED it!

What we are doing by giving away free trials is postpone the difficult burden of making a decision to buy. Therefore, by using free trials, you will end up with tons of prospects who never wanted to buy in the first place.

A better approach may be to offer a low cost trial period, using an offer that is so interesting that you’re prospects can’t resist. While at the same time you have them make that difficult decision to pay upfront, however small the fee may be.

This will definitely result in less free subscriptions, but those who do take the trial period, are really interested in your product. And they’ve already made this difficult decision! In other words, you just qualified your subscribers.

My friend Willie Crawford experimented with this. Willie owns a private label version of an awesome shopping cart system at http://ProfitAutomation.com and for a long time he offered a free 30-day trial period.

Now he offers the same time period for only $3.95. That is a real bargain IF you want to try out a shopping cart with build in multiple autoresponders, affiliate program and tracking software.

Willie reports higher conversions. He says:

My suspicion is that if they pay ANYTHING for a trial, that makes them feel like they’re wasting their money if they don’t use the account, and that’s what accounts for the increased conversions.
Once they get clients/subscribers into the shopping cart or autoresponder database, there is a pressure to keep using the system.

Food for thought!

Whether using free or low cost trials, decent follow up is of the utmost importance. Without a follow up strategy in place, in my opinion free trials are useless. You SHOULD point them to specific places or features that they should try out and you must tell them HOW to use these special features.

Therefore, your follow up serieis must educate the free trial prospects so they learn to use all the features in a short period of time and experience the benefits.
Once you get them to feel these benefits, chances are they’re sold.

Whenever using either free trials or the super low cost entry period, make sure that it’s always clear to the client what they have to pay after the initial period is over. Otherwise, you will end up with dissatisfied customers.

You should experiment with both options and see what works best.

Personally, I’m very curious about the results of such experiments and would really appreciate it if you would share them here.

Free Or Low Cost Trial Periods?

The typical learning curve of an affiliate marketer, from starting out to getting very seasoned, is from promoting many products to limiting yourself to only a few, but promote them better and more efficiently. Such maturation is based on experience of what works -and even what works better- and what doesn’t work so well. That is, unless some seasoned affiliate marketer tells you his insider secrets (and yes, such a resource available in here, read on).

Besides that learning curve, there are also new technical opportunities that you want to try out. For example, when they became available some years ago, I’ve experienced a lot with merchant RSS feeds to create online shops and offers fitting remarkably well into my articles. A great resource to start experimenting with this is 5 Star Affiliate Programs from Linda Buquet. She’s a very helpful person when it comes to affiliate marketing.

The development of great keyword research tools is another example.
Now that Overture isn’t available anymore, lots of marketers wonder where to go now to research their keywords. One of the best resources still is Wordtracker, an extremely instructive and very trustworthy keyword resource tool. But there are others like Keyword Discovery and Spyfu.
Google Adwords helps you search for keywords based on relevance and even suggests keywords you can use.
With these research tools, you can create keyword-rich ads, links and even articles that will bring in the right traffic to promote your affiliate products.

The development of blogs has opened other ways to generate traffic to your affiliate promotions and capturing email addresses is another biggie. I could write a lot about that issue here, but this morning I
found a highly interesting blog post from Courtney Tuttle, Introduction to Lead Blogging, discussing this topic. Read what Court has to say. Interesting.

Of course you only promote products that you’ve used yourself and are very satisfied about. You may then create your own little viral reports, discussing the problem that your affiliate product solves and
add some ins and outs about how you managed to do that using the product. Of course your reports link back to the products you promote.
Such reports can be created in a flash.

Of course you don’t forget to use trackers to discover where your traffic is coming from and to redirect readers of your reports to the right web pages. If a destination URL changes over time, trackers make it easy to change the links in your reports.

These are only a few advanced affiliate marketing strategies. There are more!
From a Super Affiliate. That’s an affiliate who can sell a LOT more of an affiliate product than an average affiliate.

My good friend Willie Crawford is one. As an example, in one recent product launch, he sold over $60,000 worth of a course in the 27 hours that it was available for purchase.

Willie wrote a great report unveiling 20 insider affiliate techniques. It’s yours, free.

20 Affiliate Marketing Insider Techniques

But first let me explain why improving your conversion rates is so important with respect to more profits. Maybe you are aware of this already, but I just LOVE to write this. Every time I think about this I see the magic. You should see that too!

And don’t bother about the details -if necessary, use your own-, this is just an example to show you what exactly happens.

Suppose you have a $50 product and it costs you, one way or the other, $40 to get 100 prospects to look over your sales process.
Suppose, of these 100 visitors, 1% buys your product. The result of such a transaction is $50 revenue, $40 expenses and $10 profits, right?

Now here comes the magic!

Photo Credit: Big Foto

Imagine, that by making minor changes to your sales process, whatever they are, you are able to get 2 sales per 100 visitors. What happens then?
You just made $100, expenses still are $40, so your profits now are $60 instead of $10!

To put that into perspective:

See that?

MAGIC!

That is why it is so important to test and tweak your sales process.

Now, the question is: how to increase your conversion rate?

There are so many resources available on the Net. Some tell about testing headlines, others about first paragraphs, images, colors, you know the drill.

But there’s almost nobody who explains the whole process.
And the most important influence on your conversion rate is hardly discussed (and it’s NOT your sales page!).

Enter Paul Hancox.

Let me immediately confess that I’m biased when talking about this marketer. I’m one of his greatest fans.
I bought his first split testing software, which was awesome and therefore also bought his latest and I have his ‘Small Changes, Big Profits’ manual available at my finger tips.
If he offers something, I’ll buy.
Cause he’s good. Damned good!

And that’s no wonder.
Because Paul worked in the direct sales (face-to-face) area where order values ran into the thousands of dollars per sale and the conversion rate of sales to appointments was typically 20% to 40%.

And that got him thinking: “How is it that a $7,000 product can be sold face to face with a 20% to 40% conversion rate, and yet so many people are struggling to achieve even 1% or 2% (let alone 10%!) on the Internet?”

The answer was very simple. Paul explains:

“…the direct sales company for which I worked had a much better grasp of the psychology of marketing and selling, than many people marketing on the Internet!”

Paul wrote a report about that, very moderately titled: “The Secrets Of A 10% Conversion Rate”.
In it, he shares his experiences and ’secrets’, which will allow you too to achieve such conversion rates.

I’m reading it, right now.
Haven’t finished yet, cause this ‘report’ is well over 100 pages!

Now, read this carefully -and let me emphasize that I don’t make a cent writing this-:

If you’re interested in increasing your profits, you should get a copy.
Now, I could send you over to Paul Hancox’s Warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=229840">special Warrior offer, but…,

… Paul sold a couple of resale rights to great marketers.

Copywriter Michel Fortin is one of them.
Paul Myers is another (if you don’t know him yet, check out the newsletter issue that he put online as a test and subscribe!).

Check them out.

At the moment of writing this, Paul Myers offers this ten percent gem for next to nothing (sorry Michel), but knowing Mr. Myers a bit, that won’t last long.

Anyway, I don’t care where you get your copy. Pick your personal favorite.
Just GET IT!

Honestly, if you’re in the ‘make money online’ business, this is one of the best recommendations you will ever get.

Get your copy right now and let me know what you think of it.

+1% Conversion Rate = 500% More Profits

There a lots of ways to build trust and credibility (I’ll show you an excellent resource below) and one of them is personalization of your Internet marketing efforts. Thus you are talking to a friend, like in you and me, person to person. Using an good mailing list management (autoresponder) service allows you to do just that and, as I will show you below, it’s quite easy to set up.

I’m using Aweber as an example, because that’s the service I’ve been using for years now, but any other well established service can do the same. Only the names and variables will be different.

Let’s have a look at your sign up form.

At the very least it contains an email address, but, for reason of personalization, you’ll want to include a name too.
When your subscriber clicks on the ‘Send’ button, these values, together with some others like your unique list number and the return page that you want your subscriber to return to, are sent to Aweber and stored in your database, recognized by your unique list number.

The return page can be personalized, because you can have Aweber send the info back to you. It’s an option you have to click when you create the web form. The data is added to the URL of your return page, separated by a question mark.

All you have to do now is pick up that information. Therefore you’ll need to change the extension of your return page into .php. Nothing to be afraid of. It works the same as .htm or .html.

Next, all you have to do is extract the name from the variables that were sent back using php. Don’t ask me how it works, as I’m not a PHP programmer, far from that. I only use this code at the very top of my page (before anything else):

<?php
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
?>

Now, anywhere in the page, just right between any content, I can add the following line:

<?php echo $name; ?>

and as a result, it will display the name!

Let’s have a look at my ‘thank-you’ page that comes up after subscribing to me email update notifications (which is a good idea to do right now; look at the right in the navigation top).

Here’s the URL for that page (I’ll have it opened in a new window):
http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/thank-you.php
It’s quite standard.

Now let’s add the variables as Aweber sends them back (they’ll send more than shown below, but let’s keep this example simple; it works the same):
http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/thank-you.php?from=
Case%40gmail%2ecom&name=Case
See that?
Suddenly my name and my email address show up in that page.

That’s how you personalize your sign up procedure.

Now that your visitor has signed up, you can always use your subscriber’s name in any page that you send her to, as I’ve explained in Advanced Autoresponder Marketing.

Depending on your payment processor, you can do exactly the same after a payment process has completed. Just process a test purchase for $0.10 and look in the URL to see what has been send back after a question mark and catch that information using the PHP code above.
It works with Clickbank and PayPal, so you can have the buyer’s name displayed on your download pages. If you’re using squeeze pages, it’s the same process as above.

And that’s how you integrate personalization into your online marketing efforts.
Easy huh?

By the way, if you want to read more about credibility and trust, you definitely SHOULD read The Last Protégé.

And if you want to integrate personalized Internet marketing into your e-commerce platform, then you should most definitely check out Rapid Action Profits, cause that has it all build in. No more scripts, no more code, just fill in the blanks.

Let me know what you think of personalization. Think it’s useful?

Internet Marketing – 7 Hours Of DVD training!

What make OTO offers so special is their uniqueness and the time pressure. The latter is added to the offer in an effort to create the highest sense of urgency that should lead to an impulsive decision, where the choice is either to accept the one time offer immediately or to never see it again.

Now, you may argue about this One Time Offer definition, but this one will do for the point I want to make.

Because I see sooooooo many OTO’s these days.
My guess is that many marketers advocate them as a Deus Ex Machina for every free or low priced offer to at least make some money somewhere. Giveaways, $7 dollar scripts, squeeze pages, etc., OTO’s everywhere.

Photo credit: babasteve

Only recently a well known marketer persuaded me to join a new giveaway event. During the sign up process I had to wade through 2 OTO’s and just as I was ready to download my first gift, another set of one time offers passed my screen.
Result? I immediately unsubscribed without downloading anything! Opportunity missed, game over!

Why?

Because it’s a GIVE AWAY. That means, giving away something, NOT offering one special offer after the other, hoping to make money somewhere along the road.
Many times the desperation to make some bucks is dripping from the OTO as it is often nothing else than a bag full of manure from the PLR Zoo. How do the organizers expect to sell that during such an event?
It’s just not the intention of a giveaway, where visitors expect to download a free gift.

These people do not realize what the real purpose of an OTO is. It simply is an up-sell of some sort.

“So Case, then let me ask you…

what IS the best moment to offer an OTO?”

Fair enough. And here’s my simple answer:

During a sales process, where they already have overcome the difficult and very painful decision to spend their money. In this situation, they’ve ALREADY stepped over the huge trust and ’spend-money’ thresholds, which are just human nature defense systems.

Mind you, there’s still resistance to overcome, but in their mind that hurdle has been taken. They liked your initial offer and did exactly what you wanted them to do.

That means, that your One Time Offer should closely relate to that what made them decide to step over that threshold. It needs to have instant appeal, so the headline needs to get right to the heart of the reader’s emotions. You only have a short time to make that crucial impact.

The price of your OTO should not exceed the price of your original product -a bit less is better-, because that would take more effort and persuasion to sell. There’s a small line you can walk between adding an extra sale and getting the prospect’s defense shields up again. Your OTO should be a sort of impulsive buy as your prospect sees in one blink of an eye that it’s a valuable addition and below his buying thresholds.

Remember, we’re discussing an offer which will not come along again. If your OTO has something to make it unique or special in some way it will definitely strike a chord with the prospect. If, on the other hand, they have a feeling that it doesn’t matter to miss this one, because several others are selling this too, then your OTO is useless.
This implies, that general affiliate products or widely distributed PLR products won’t do as an OTO, since too many others are selling the exact same product.

So, what are good OTO offers?

Short reports with high value information closely related to the product sold are ideal for one time offers.
Or, if you’re selling a great information product, adding some sort of distribution rights, like resell or master resell rights.
The same applies to video and audio products that explain what the bought product can do and what the user can achieve using it. In such cases, it is always a good idea to include a PDF transcript with audios and videos as not everyone likes them that much. Providing the PDF as comfortable reference may entice them to buy if the information is crucial to them.

Cross One Time Offers are great too.
If you have two products complementing each other and priced exactly the same, it’s a great strategy to use each product as a one time offer after the purchase of the other one. Doing so, you probably make much more sales for both products together than you would have made had you just offered them sepearately in the usual way.

These are all great one time offers and there’s a good chance of selling them in these circumstances. To avoid buyers remorse afterwards don’t forget to emphasize that they’ve made the right decision in your ‘thank-you’ pages.

There you have it. Now, you could argue that an OTO could also be presented during a sign up process. Personally I doubt that very much, because the nature of a subscription process does not involve money, so the decision to hand over just an email address is easier to take. In this case it’s better to offer another subscription, reason why co-registrations work well during this process.

Finally, I realize that this is my opinion. That means the reality could be very different, so my sincere advice is: test, test and test again. Especially when you work outside the Internet Marketing niche, results can vary a lot. Again, test it.

But if you keep the rules above in mind, you can’t go wrong.
Or…
do you think differently? Do you have additions, remarks?

How To Effectively Use One Time Offers (OTO)

But let’s be honest. If you’re smart, I mean really smart, the ultimate goal of each and every of your forum posts is to get as many people to subscribe to your list!

Sending them to whatever page is sending them to an ad, having them sign up is running an online business.
Posting to forums is a very fast and powerful way to expand your list of subscribers in as little as 5 minutes. Here’s how you do that.

You can find forums about your niche very easily. Just Google the following:

+”your niche” +forum

or

+”your niche” +”discussion board”

Photo Credit: wili_hybrid

The strategies presented in here are usually acceptable on most forums, but you definitely want to know what’s permitted and what’s not, particularly when it comes to solicitations. Therefore, you must check the posting guidelines for each forum before you post.

Here are some quick and easy ways to get pre-qualified traffic flowing your way:

Ask for suggestions or advice.
Suppose you’ve written an article on your site entitled “15 Ways to Put the Romance Back in a Relationship.” You could make a post asking folks to check out the article and see if you missed anything. Or you can ask for additional points to add to your article. Of course you’ll have your opt in box at the end of the article with a compelling offer.

Let’s say you’ve written an article on losing weight quickly. You could post a message like this: “If you had to lose 5 pounds in 2 weeks for a wedding, how would you do it?”

It’s a great way to get both input and exposure for your article. You may also get other publishers who are interesting in your content for their ezines, leveraging that content even more.

Ask for a critique.
If you don’t mind getting honest feedback, many people will end up subscribing to your list. It’s a more indirect and acceptable way to ask people to check out your site without blatant advertising. Plus, the feedback they give you may help to make your squeeze page even more compelling. Ask them if it would persuade them to give it a try, assuming they were in your target market (of course you already know they are by the forum you selected). And if they say no, ask them why. You can get valuable information on what they want (and don’t want) this way.

There are two types of forums where you should ask for critiques: the niche forum itself and a marketing forum. You’ll likely get more sign-ups from the niche forum, and good advice to test out from the marketing forum (although you’ll get some opt ins there as well).

Ask your market what they want.
It’s one of the best ways to develop products and services they’ll buy and give you ideas for articles, autoresponder content, your blog posts, whatever you need.

The way you would use this technique to get them to subscribe is to post something like, “what’s your biggest question about building a web page?” Or “what’s the single most important thing you’d like to know about brewing your own beer?”

Don’t forget to ask if they’re willing to pay for solutions to their problems and have them give you an indication of how much they would be willing to pay. Powerful stuff!

Let them know you’ve already answered 7 questions (your 7 step mini-course loaded in your autoresponder), for example. Then they’ll be more likely to sign-up. Make sure you point out that you’ll add to your mini-course with the answers to the questions they’ve provided, and that they’ll get answers to the existing questions in your mini-course PLUS the new ones when they subscribe. Everybody wins!

Offer a checklist or video tutorial.
If someone asks how to research a niche market, give them a checklist of steps they can take. Or make a Camtasia tutorial video showing them how. Now that you’ve got them to your site, you’ll want to “make them an offer they can’t refuse.”

Offer a list of resources.
In addition to checklists, resource lists with website URLs make a great site for them to bookmark! Make sure you supply more than just links. Make it a huge info-page of information. A collection of resources, links to everything you have – articles, video, audio, your blog, other useful sites, tools, you name it.

Solve a problem or give some help.
If someone asks for help or asks a question, offer your experience and try to help them. But to maximize your odds of getting both the asker of the question and everyone else who reads the post to subscribe to your list, try to phrase your answer in one of the following two ways:

1. Give them tips, techniques, shortcuts, secrets, anything that offers both promise of exclusive information and fast results. A shortcut to success.
2. Whenever possible, supply them with specific results. Think about it. When you want to learn how to bowl a perfect game, you go to someone who has bowled a perfect game. When you want to know how to sing with a perfect pitch, you seek out someone who’s already mastered that skill. If you want to lose 10 pounds, it carries more weight (no pun intended) if the person guiding you has actually lost 10 pounds. Do you see where I’m going with this?

And by helping them, maybe -just maybe- they’ll click on the link in your signature to check out your website. If you direct them to a blog post or article you wrote to answer their question, they’ll be even more likely to investigate.

There you have it. Surefire ways to get the max out of your forum posts.

In a next post, I will reveal a sneaky but completely ethical way to virtually guarantee you get an onslaught of new subscribers, so stay tuned.

Meanwhile, post your thoughts below.

She had one remark though.

As an example, just to show her what the options of Wordpress as a content management system are, I put a link in her blogroll to a site from her friend.

She told me to take that down!
“But why?” I asked her.
“Because you don’t link to competitors” she answered. That was what she was told at the club. And she believed it.

So I had to explain to her how the online world works. She thought it was a lot of work for someone completely new to it and asked me to do that for her. I promised to help her with that. Could have asked her for money, but she’s too nice and she’s my brother’s wife and he helps me a lot too.

On another occasion, a friend asked me how he could promote his construction company on the Internet. He thought that a website was a static thing, like his brochures and he had absolutely NO idea how to interact with visitors.
We talked about some ideas and he really became enthusiastic. He’s working on these ideas and some back-end products. We’re going to set up a website for him soon.

I’ve had conversations like that many times. I mean hundreds of times, really. Because most business people simply do NOT know how to build an online business.

The have absolutely NO idea how to drive traffic to their sites, how to catch email addresses, what to send to subscribers and how to market their own products or services. They don’t think outside the box and all they see is what they’re already doing for years and years.

Now, listen closely…

If you have some idea on how to run an online business, then you can make a lot of money helping off line business people setting up profitable websites for a monthly fee.
