New Opportunity

"My Power Mall" is a new business and/or saving opportunity that is just in time for Christmas - You can get it set up by Monday which is expected to be the biggest day ever for online Christmas shopping.

Visit the MyPowerMall business site.

You can also set up a personal shopping site for saving money if that is your primary interest.

What I like about this business opportunity is can be summarized in the following statements:

It is FREE. 97 % of the people who try to build home businesses just don't make money - but they do SPEND a lot of money, not with My Power Mall.
It is SIMPLE - There is really a very low learning curve and all the training is also free.
There are no GAMES, no minimum purchases, no tricky fine print, no investment. Even most of the tools you will need are free.
It is credible.
It is built upon the strength of online and brick-and-mortar stores where people are already shopping.
It is neither an MLM nor affiliate marketing, but it is does reward recruitment and referrals.
Mostly, it does not rely on my expertise nor yours to tell its story. There are easy to understand videos on the site to which I have referred you.
I am available to help you build this - but you probably won't need me.

Get involved now while the Christmas season is hot and getting hotter. I think you can be successful with this.

I just discovered Power Mall. I was so impressed that it is Saturday and I went back in time, deleted the content of an earlier message and substituted this link. I was introduced by someone I respected and I am now learning how it works. So this is not am impressive presentation. However, I believe this will become a significant part of my income stream.

It blends the best of some other programs, but it is not an MLM. Nor is it an affiliate program. best of all, there is no start-up cost and no monthly minimum purchase to qualify to receive benefits.

Tools and education are free with a few exceptions.

This is worth a look-see.

Check Out Your Affiliates

As you develop your affiliate marketing strategy, remember that every time you refer someone to a site, what they find on that site reflects upon you. Yoyu may not be able to control everything about the links you use, but you should, at the very least, visit each site to which you link and do a quick check to make sure that the material presented is not offensive, competetive with your product, or dramatically contray to your beliefs.

Broken Link - Mag Fund-Raising

Unfortunately, one of the best affiliates I am aware of has now been discontinued - Mag Fund-Rasing is no longer a part of LinkShare. They seem to still be doing fund-raising, but I am not sure of what route they are taking with regard to affiliate marketing.

There are still many wonderful opportunities out there however.

What started last week as an assignment to collaborate on a few affiliate ideas turned into a major project as a group of people took what little of what I a had communicated of one of my big dreams and came back with something very, very big. i was impressed with the imagination of sanctified folks pooling their thoughts and dreaming great dreams.

Affiliate marketing is one of those areas where competition does exist, but the primary focus is on the fact that success breeeds success and that if we can make someone else successful, we will also succeed.

More on Collaboration ...

It simply means co-labor, working together and presupposes pooling efforts into one great cause/profit center and/or sharing the profits. I think we can do both. I am developing a plan and will be unfolding it as we go along.

From Biz Report

BizReport : Advertising : January 31, 2007

More affliate marketing managers see higher conversion rates in 2006. The 2007 AffStat Affliate Marketing Benchmark report surveyed nearly two hundred affliliate marketing managers on their overall statistics, as well as a number of issues about their affiliate marketing channels.

by Helen Leggatt

The results show that while the numbers of affiliates are dropping, high conversion rates are increasing.

Perhaps an indication of the quality of affiliates or even the increased presence of affiliate advertising on blogs, the number of affiliate marketing managers seeing conversion rates above 5 percent has risen 6 percent to 15 percent during 2006. The average conversion rate was around 1.6 – 2 percent.

The increase does not appear to be due to a rise in affiliates. Affiliate marketing managers are maintaining smaller numbers of affiliates than before with a 5 percent drop in those with 10,000 or more. Those with smaller numbers of affiliates were the only groupings to rise, with a 13 percent rise in those operating with 500 or less.

The report, which includes 33 links to affiliate marketing message boards, blogs, and newsletters, can be obtained via AffStat’s website. http://www.affstat.com/

Guest Author: Internet Marketing Affiliate Program - What Do You Need to Succeed?

If you have selected a suitable affiliate program to join, and you are keen to start earning some affiliate commissions, you will need to know about the key factors to help you succeed.

So, what do you need to succeed with your internet marketing affiliate program?

· Dedication. The first thing you will need to succeed with your internet marketing affiliate program is commitment to work hard until you get the profits you want. For you to earn some commission, you will need to invest money, time and effort into the business.

· Patience. This is the hardest trait to have, yet it is the most important. You can not earn commissions overnight with your affiliate program, and you must be patient enough to keep on working consistently, even if you are not making any sales.

· Get your own website and domain name. Having your own website creates the perception that you are serious about your internet marketing affiliate program business, and you have long term commitment to it. A professional website and own domain name appear professional, and you will find it easy to make sales.

· Products, services or business opportunities that are of high quality and reputation. This is very important if you want to make some sales and earn some commission. Make sure that you choose an affiliate program that has products with high demand and easy to sell.

· A website that is well presented and will prompt any visitor to take action and buy! This is an obvious one, yet is sometimes neglected. For you to be successful with your internet marketing affiliate program, your website must clearly present what you are selling. You must make the presentation of your website such that you promote many sales, for example by placing complementary products close together. Use all the techniques you can think of to make help you make as many sales as possible.

· A 'useful' website that makes visitors want to visit again. Although the main goal of your site is to make sales; you will also want your site to offer a few other things that will make visitors stay longer and come back again. You could offer some free tips and ideas relating to the products you are selling. The idea is to make any visitor want to 'bookmark' your site. Or if they make a purchase the first time they visit; if they found some free helpful hints on your website, they will come back again for another purchase, creating good repeat business for you.

· Have a committed strategy for driving traffic to your web site. It is a very simple fact that more visitors to your site means more sales, which means more checks for you. Have a monthly budget or plan for driving traffic to your site, work on that consistently.

· Customer care and personal testimonials can significantly help you succeed with your internet marketing affiliate program. Have an email system that you check regularly to answer any questions from your potential customers. Instead of just placing your affiliate links, try to have some testimonials that highlight the benefits of the product, service or business opportunity. This will help you make more sales, thus increasing your checks.

· Offer a free e-zine or short course on your website. Some visitors to your website do not make a purchase the first time they visit your site. By offering a free e-zine for your visitors to subscribe to, you are able to keep in constant contact with your potential customers, and over time, they will become your committed clients. Internet marketing affiliate programs need a large customer base to succeed, so you need to capture every potential client.

By following the guideline presented above, you will succeed with your internet marketing affiliate program. You will need to use these strategies so that you increase your sales and earn more sales. Building a huge down-line is important in internet marketing, and having more visitors and more sales or sub-affiliates is important for your business.

Succeeding with your internet marketing affiliate program is easy if you follow the key recommendations that can guarantee your success, and avoid the common mistakes which affiliates make.

Study: Affiliate Shoppers Spend More, Skew Older
Feb 6, 2007 1:39 PM

Affiliate channel shoppers often spend more than the typical online shopper, according to a recent study commissioned by Performics, the Chicago-based performance marketing division of DoubleClick.

The comScore Networks analysis focused on 63 merchant sites with active affiliate marketing programs across all three major affiliate marketing networks and 19 large affiliate publisher sites. The analysis was conducted during the first half of 2006, using Reston, VA-based comScore's panel of 1 million U.S. consumers who have given permission to confidentially capture their browsing and online transaction behavior.
