Affiliate Marketing is the easiest way to start earning money very quickly. I will go into the in's and out's and share with you what I learn and discover on my journey. I am a complete newbie, this is my first project, and I am eager to share my ups and downs with you all.
I've had a really busy time since my last post - in fact, rather a rollercoaster ride. Having studied internet marketing meticulously for the last 15 months, I now feel that I have really arrived. I have learned so much and it is truly a great moment when everything clicks into place and starts to make sense. All your hard work pays off and you realize that it was all worth it in the end.
I have been concentrating on this blog for the last 10 months and it has been very satisfying seeing it consistently on the front pages of google,yahoo and all the other major search engines but it has been through a great deal of time, energy and effort. Even now, I trawl through hundreds and hundreds of sales pages to find out which is hot and which has been 'done to death'. I have endeavoured to bring you programs that have only just (and sometimes just about to) come on to the market with particular attention paid to the programs that will really help you on your way to success.
This is besides signing up for 100's and 100's of newsletters and reading and reading until my brain feels fit to explode! but I have done it....for you....so you don't have to.
IT'S DEFINITELY A WOW MOMENT! You had best get on this QUICK!
I just found out that there's a brand new site that is giving out a "magic code" that when added to any site FORCES it to just start making money!
No kidding! - you just add the code, and like magic your site just starts pouring money into your pocket!
I'm NOT joking - I'll show you PROOF in a moment!
But what you need to know most is this:
- You can add this "magic code" to any site in just 45 seconds! - You can add it to an unlimited number of sites!
- You can "rinse & repeat" this over & over to make as much money as you can ever imagine!
- After adding just this code, you don't have to do anything else!
- You just sit back and make all the cash you could ever ask for!
And again, it all comes in a simple little PDF that contains everything you need, including full instructions, so you can get started in the next 15 minutes!
>> My advice would be to move on and get there FAST!
It's rumored that the guy who operates the site may either LIMIT how many people are allowed in on his "secret magic code," or at the very least "choke" down the flow of how many people he gives it out to, and so as not to let just anybody and everybody spoil this.
I also heard that he may stop offering any more copies after some time (and without notice) just to keep competition "alive and well" (but who really knows?)
Regardless of which, it's my understanding that once you're in, *YOU'RE IN!* (So I wouldn't waste time if I were you, or worse still: I WOULD NOT RISK IT!)
PROOF!... ---------------------
I just happen to have the link in case you're smart and want in just like me and the few others who've found this so far:
I wanted to rush this out to you because it is Yaro Starak's latest launch. If you have subscribed to his other fantastic blogging products featured on this blog, (if not - you are missing out bigtime) then you will be eager to check this one out.
Yaro is truly the 'king of blog' and I have been following him and subscribing to everything he puts out - for 15 months now and respect him tremendously. This is why I can highly recommend both him and his products. You can also subscribe to his blog, I will give all the other links below so you don't miss out.
The full video can be watched without needing to enter a name or email address and I am connvinced you will learn a bunch about blogging for money and his system called "Conversion Blogging", which uses an email list and blog for maximum profits.
I won't waffle on because you can be clicking the link below and watching it within seconds.
Within a few hours of launching this post, I had a google alert indexing this post under the heading of 'conversion blogging video' and 7 clicks! I knew this was going to be big.
Seen the video? still not convinced? then check out the video from Alborz Fallah, (a student ofYaro's)'Million Dollar Blogger'. just released. Alborz's blog was recently valued at $5M dollars (we should be so lucky!). His story is fantastic and it shows how you can start a blog from nothing, focus on a passion and turn it into a multi-million dollar business.
In this interview, Yaro and Alborz talk about how he grew his blog, how he brought on board financial backers and grew his income to 7 figures.
This interview is sure to inspire you as it certainly did me.
Sit down with a cuppa, click on the link below and be prepared to be well impressed.
I must be doing something right because my blog has appeared (on up to all 10 places) on the front page of all the major search engines since it was launched, last October! I don't think many other people can lay claim to this unless they use a ppc or adwords campaign (and a lot of hard work) to get to the top.
Sceptics would say it is because it starts with 'Bonnie' but if you google (or other s.e.) bonnies affiliate marketing solution is does not just appear with that heading.
It is all clever stuff! ahhh the wonders of the internet...will we ever truly understand its phenomenal power.
So...don't forget to follow me on my road to affiliate riches.
How you can launch as many Mini-sites as you can think of ....any time you want to
Do you not have a clue how to do your own website or cannot afford for someone else to do it for you? then these mini sites are made just for you.
You can get your own mini site up and online in under 24 hours.

This means that I have just been plugging away at this affiliate blog when I really want to promote (and do my own niche's) loads of other great stuff.
My ex partner and I were the first British Western Dance Champions so I am eager to get a site up and running. We also qualified as line dance instructors and used to teach all over the UK. Alas, my partner Rick (who is an American) ended up going back home

All this initially got 'lost' in my 'to do' book (from 13 June). I was searching through this today and was really annoyed with myself that I had not put in on my blog as soon as I signed up nor checked it out properly. This is a lesson in concentrating on one thing before you move on to the other. I never quite manage it myself! I am too busy checking out the market and seeing what's hot, what's not and what to avoid.
Still - better late than never I guess. I like the fact that you can get free bronze membership when other sites charge for this upgrade
I would love to know how you get on
Lets go, go, go

affiliate, marketing
I am still ranking up to 10 places on the first page of the search engines (since I launched my blog last October). If you google (or whatever s.e.) bonnies affiliate marketing solution, you can check out from which resources I have got there. It is interesting to note that not all the places are under my name. I get 'google alerts' into my in-box. The latest today was headed 'affiliate marketing solution' and contained details to a posting on my site. I find it all very interesting.
First, I would like to share my recent experience with you (as this is a 'follow me on my journey' blog)
I initially put this product on my blog and also did a squidoo lens in April of this year. It was all new and for some reason the link just went to their shopping cart site. I panicked and removed the posts. Meanwhile I had sent the link all over the internet. As I have said, by using Viralurl to cloak my links, you also get to see how many clicks you have had on your links. To date I have had 30 clicks to the link to the shopping cart.
Today I had notification of a commission sale for this product! I logged into my account and found I had 4 unique clicks to which 1 was a buyer so I got commission.
Not only does this show the power of the internet - it also quickly showed me that Jeff must have a lot of power and respect for his products to initiate a sale so quickly. He now has my full respect so I thought I would be doing you a huge favour in giving you links to this product/video blog/monthly coaching and also to the midwest super conference 3. I do not want you to miss a thing.
So I do not waffle on un-necessarily, I will summarize his fantastic products with a direct link to each.
Outsource Secrets Revealed - monthly coaching
Click on the link below to watch written and video's case studies, proof of earnings, sample clip of what a webinar looks like, a link to a trial price for a month (if you needed any more persuading), and check out the bonuses worth nearly $1000 and how the investment would only cost a tiny $2.95 a day which is peanuts compared to the sort of money you could be earning.
Don't just take my word for it, click on the link below and read carefully
You will learn a great deal from Jeff's blog and the sort of things he has been up to: his training webinar, live workshops, and a long list of categories covering most things you want to know. about outsourcing and other really interesting stuff, etc.
This really is worth you checking out, click below

I thought you would appreciate this article from Yaro Starak, 'The King of Blog' and hopefully benefit from his many years of experience....enjoy......a lesson to us all.....we all have to start somewhere.
There are basically two types of bloggers in the world - reporters and experts - and some people perform both roles (usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts, but it’s easy for experts to report).
If you have ever taken an Internet marketing course or attended a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard about the two different methodologies.
Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.
I’ll be frank; you want to be the expert.
Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven’t established expertise.
Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc… experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.
Most Bloggers Are Reporters
The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning.
Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).
There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some expertise.
Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.
Don’t Replicate Your Teacher
If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern.
Many people first study Internet marketing from a “guru” (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online. The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it’s next to impossible to succeed.
Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it’s fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation. How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet marketing. It’s a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let’s face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.
If the key is to become an expert and you haven’t spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.
Report on Your Process, Not Others
The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey.
When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people’s work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog.
It’s okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing.
If you learn a technique from an expert it’s fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there’s.
Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don’t regurgitate what the expert said.
The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.
Expertise comes from doing things most people don’t do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did. You are aready an expert.
Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don’t leverage what they already know.
Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience.
Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey.
I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear. Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach.
If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven’t much hope of becoming an expert.
Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.
Reporting Is A Stepping Stone.
If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from “scratch”, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.
Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again.
Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it’s okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that’s all most experts really are.

Let’s look at what you usually do when surfing the web. You see a site you like and start to read it. You are thinking about what a great site it is and if you really like it you bookmark it so you can come back again.
Then something interrupts you, it may be the dog barking at a neighbor or one of the kids starting to cry and you are called away.
What happens when you get back? You have forgotten what you were looking at and what are the odds you’ll ever use the bookmark to go back?
Want to find out? Go click your bookmarks right now and see if you can even remember what half of them are for. I know I can’t.
Your site visitor is no different then you are. No matter how great your site is things constantly distract people and your visitor is gone.
Now if the site you visited had used a squeeze page and made you an offer of interest, they would have a way to contact you. When they email two days later you remember the great report they gave you and open the email to see what they have to say.
You are very likely to go back and see more of their site. What is more is that they can continue to invite you back time and again because they got your contact information and your permission.
This is why using a squeeze page and getting permission to follow up with your visitors is so powerful.
Check out Instant Squeeze Page Generator to discover how easy creating your page can be. You can beat the cost -0-.
There are a number of pieces that go into creating a good squeeze page.
Probably the most important is the layout of the page. Creating a good template for your squeeze page and testing and tweaking it can take quite a bit of time.
All of the time you spend doing that will cost you subscribers as you work to get your squeeze page converting properly. After all if only 2% of your visitors sign up instead of 20% you have lost quite a few chances to get people to return.
That is one of the big advantages of using the tested templates offered by ISPG. No learning curve to cost you subscribers.
The look of that template will be affected by the graphics you use. If they are not professional then you are sending a bad message to your visitor and it will hurt your conversion.
Professional first rate graphics project the image you want to have. Graphics can put a dent in your budget especially of you are graphically challenged like I am.
A good cover, header and footer package can easily cost you $100 or more. That is why ISPG provides you with the professional graphics you need for your page.
No need to spend $100’s of dollars on graphics when they are already included with your free membership. Check put ISPG today
P.S. No graphics, no trial and error and no cost sure make this a no brainer , don’t they?
Easily create a great offer
Having a great offer that your subscriber just must have is the final piece of the
puzzle. You need it to be something of value that leaves them drooling.
This can be a piece of software, an instructional video, an email series or an ebook. The key is that it must be something that your visitor will feel they must have.
Now they have a reason to give you permission to email them. More importantly, you have given them something of value. This will help you start the relationship.
ISPG offers you a wide selection of gifts that you may offer to your subscribers. They host the gifts, they handle the download. You only need to add a link to one of their pages for your subscribers to be able to download the gift.
ISPG handles everything for you. They give you the proven template, host your page, offer the gift and handle the download all from a simple point and click interface.
All you need to do is create your page with their point and click process and get visitor’s to it. They do every thing else.

Bloggers - How you can benefit with these top 10 techniques
In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else''s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that''s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.
Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling. It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum.
Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.
10 Tips
10.Write at least five major "pillar" articles. A pillar article is usually a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn''t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.
9.Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.
You don''t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new.
Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead.
The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.
8.Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need an easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that''s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL.
Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you''ve done a good job!).
7.Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people''s blogs.
You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog. Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog.
If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.
6.Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger''s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it''s sort of like your blog telling someone else''s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.
This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.
5.Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about.
To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.
4.Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic.
The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week.
Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival enjoy a spike in new readers. To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at http://blogcarnival.com/.
3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com.
To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it''s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it''s worth the effort.
Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in.
You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!
2.Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com.
This is another tip that doesn''t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it''s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles.
Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.
How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case).
Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.
1.Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I''ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won''t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

This was launched in May 2009, along with my depression blog. This has now led to my menopause blog as I found people were using menopause related phrases and being sent to a menopause post on my depression blog! so here it is! specially for 'ladies of a certain age'!
