Moving Forward To Success! Internet Marketing Journey….

I am back in the UK now. Had a nice vacation to Atlanta in the US where my sister lives. A great place by the way, if you ever get the chance you should all go. Great weather and some nice locations…..

Anyway in my last post “Where Is My Internet Marketing Success” I spoke at length about how I failed and down right sucked at internet marketing. I was really getting quite pi$$ed off. Why have so many people made so much money yet here I was really struggling and trying to find my way.

I was just too bogged down in all the wrong things. The one thing I did have was uncertainty. I wasn’t sure what I was doing was the right thing so this lead to me flip flopping from one idea to another then wondering why nothing was happening. The only thing I was doing consistently was buying more internet marketing products!  Arrgh!

You see I have found out that this is what most internet marketers want. They want us to be uncertain. They want us flip flopping around. They want us buying more of their products!! Get this clear in your minds.

I am not saying that all the products are no good or don’t work or are down right crap. I am saying that this is what the marketers want and we make it very easy for them by being in this constant  uncertainty loop.

Fail To Plan……
You know the rest right? Plan To Fail!! I genuinely think this is where most people are falling over. They have nothing. They have no idea, no strategy, no plan! All their efforts crumble even before they have started.

If you want to make money you have to treat this as a business not just an opportunity. Learn some simple business planning techniques and put them into action. Do this first before you start with the actual methods of doing things.

So I have started my business plan. At the moment it’s written scribbled  down on about 4 sheets of paper. I will then put this into Google docs. Why Google? It’s very easy to use and highly portable. I can modify and add to my notes from any computer not just this laptop. I can easily share with other people…..

I have also done one other major major step forward in my business and that is get an accountability partner!

Onsite Optimizaton Checklist – The What, Why and How

SEO or search engine optimization comprises of 2 components: on-site and off-site and to be able to rank for any keyword. This article explains what onsite or onpage optimization is, why it is important and how to do it right.

You can refer to this onsite optimization checklist when building a new site, blog or when writing content.

With that in mind, let’s go straight to the point.

What is onsite optimization?

Simply put, onsite SEO refers to all the activities you do on your own website to make it optimized for search engines, in particularly Google.

So what does “optimized” mean? Image a lawyer goes to court to defense a case. She has to be optimized so that her success chance is the highest.

She has to dress formally for the event, she has to look sure and confident, she has to come prepared with all necessary papers, evidences and all the possible scenarios thought through.

The same goes for optimizing your site for Google. Your site has to be prepared so that Google bots can come in and find their way around it easily and has to give the impression as a good, honest and quality site to Google.

Why is onsite optimization important?

Even though some people say that in SEO, on-site optimization accounts for only 20% of the results while offsite elements account for 80%.

This might be true in very competitive keywords, however sometimes only by focusing on optimizing your onsite elements, you can already win more than half of the battle.

The costs

While for competitive keywords, you will have to pay a lot of efforts (and money) for off-site elements, for example building links that are quality and look natural, onsite optimization costs you from very low to nothing.

Therefore I always try to make sure that my sites are well optimized onsite first before moving out for any off-site activities

Getting indexed and ranked

On-site or on-page optimization is especially important for new sites or for new contents of your site. Your site can only be indexed and be found on Google for a certain topic if its bots can crawl your new content and pick up the hints about which topic this content is about.

For example if you want to be found on Google through the keyword “organic gardening tips” but you only mention variables of the keyword here and there throughout the article, Google may not show your site to people who search for that exact keyword.

Many people say that you only need to write good content about the topic and Google will pick up all kinds of long tail keywords from there anyway. I do agree with that. But it is better to have contents that are both engaging and optimized.

Not optimizing your blog is like going hunting and shooting aimlessly at where the bird flock stays, hoping one will get hit. Meanwhile if you concentrate on one good chubby bird, aim carefully and then shoot at it, the chance it gets hit would be much higher.

You have all the control

Things change, people change, websites change. The sites where you place your links on before might not exist some days later, or decide to remove links to your site.

You don’t have total control over anything else other than your own property.

The onsite optimization checklist

Google and other search engines evolve all the time. Google alone rolls out several updates through out the year to their algorithm (way of arranging search results), therefore the criteria on how to optimize your website might change all the time.

In order to keep up with the trend, SEO savvy webmasters or Search engine optimizers should keep their eyes open for all the updates, announcements from Google and adjust their onsite optimization strategy from time to time.

I believe that onsite optimization now is not only restricted to keyword placement and density in your article but also other elements of your website or blog.

And here are a list of elements that you should apply to ensure your page is fully optimized for Google:

Easy for bots to crawl

Content should be unique to each URL: Google avoids duplicate content on their own site, so if you have the same content displayed in different sub-domains or URLs, you should canonicalize them by using a 301 redirect or the rel=”canonical” tag. Read more about canonical tag on Google Webmaster blog.
 Meta robot tag allows indexing: if you are using All in One SEO pack plugin, there is an option “Robots meta noindex”, make sure that you DON’T check that box if you want your page to be indexed.
Robots.txt file doesn’t block bots’ access
User experience

Site design should look “the part”, which is clean, nicely designed, easy to navigate
Any content should be found and accessed by users not more than 4 clicks away from any page
Designed to be compatible with any browsers
Multi-device ready: your site should be responsive to different devices and screens
Fast to load: You can use Pingdom tool to test how fast your site load. If you can get technical, Google Developers offer a good series of tutorials on how to make your site faster.

Keyword optimization checklist

Even though Google recommends all webmasters to create sites that have great user experience and content that users would share, it is always good to have both.

Here is a checklist for keyword optimization for each page or article that is published on your site or blog. There is actually no official or standard way to optimize keywords. This is how I personally do it and have seen satisfying results over the years.

Be aware of character length limitations: Title at most 60 characters, URL < 90 characters and Meta description at most 160 characters
Exact target keyword should be in title  and URL
Exact keyword should be in meta description
Keyword density around 2%. Some WordPress plugins calculate this for you, but you can also use SEObook’s keyword density tool to check.
Exact keyword in the first 200 words of article
Bold, italic or underline your main or related keywords at least once throughout the article
Image title and ALT tag should be keyword rich
Related terms to your topic appear throughout the article
Main keyword in the last 200 words of article
Descriptive anchor text: anchor text within the article should describe the destination page.
Social media sharing ready

Google really emphasizes the importance of social signals (how many people share your content over social networks) nowadays so there should be ways for your readers to share your content.

Social media sharing buttons before and/or after your post or along sidebar
Topic of your content is clear in the URL
Authorship markup

Google seems to favor  strongly identity over anonymity by implementing the author and publisher “rel” tags. Having a person behind a post also help increasing the click through rate in the search engine result page as your picture makes your link more outstanding.

Therefore it is highly recommended that you add author rich snippets to your site, not only to be favorable in Google’s eyes but also to attract more search engine traffic. In the end of the day, this is what we are talking about right?

If you have a self-hosted WordPress blogs, there are many plugins that support this function. Authorsure is a good nifty plugin for this task.

You could also refer too Swellpath’s guide to insert Author Rich Snippets for a complete guide on authorship markup and how to implement it.

In conclusion

I hope you find all the guidelines in this article helpful for your onsite optimization efforts. This onsite optimization checklist is by no means evergreen. It would be changing slightly from time to time, even though I predict there would be no huge changes in the near future.

Be careful when you carry out keyword optimization though, there should be a balance in all of the elements to avoid being over-optimized. Keyword optimization should not compromise readability and user experience.

In the end of the day, your ultimate goal is still building a quality website or blog that readers want to read, follow, share and talk about.

And here are a list of elements that you should apply to ensure your page is fully optimized for Google:

Bloggers Need Cheerleaders Too

For those who are new to the blog scene, there are lots of things to learn. It is easy to get frustrated when there are so many details involved. You have to learn about keyword research, what is it, how do you do it? You have to learn how to use WordPress and that is a huge challenge for a lot of us. You need to understand the basics of SEO, linking, Social Media, Marketing etc., etc., etc..

Successful Bloggers Have a Plan

If you are a baby boomer, the first paragraph may contain some terms you aren’t familiar with, same goes for any beginner blogger who is just trying to get something up and running. I was the same way with my first blog. I had people giving me advice all over the net, and I would just jump in and try this and that. If that is happening to you, STOP IT.

Just because this may all be new to you, if you don’t have a plan to follow with logical steps to implement, you will waste a huge amount of time and money. I am here to tell ya, been there, done that. I would find someone who sounded good, and they had some trick that if I did this or that, my traffic and sales would skyrocket. Yeah right. Money went down the drain, and huge blocks of time were wasted.

I finally made a resolution to get focused, buckle down to identify who I would focus on and what I have to offer. That is called identifying your niche in “industry speak”. In my opinion, that was pretty tough. I joined groups, did brainstorming, spent a lot of money on coaches, took classes, spent countless  hours  reading and doing research, watching tutorials and  more. I hope I can help make the process a little simpler for you.

Blueprint for your blogs foundation

Remember I mentioned logical steps. Well, we are all adults and have common sense. Businesses like buildings have foundations, and a good foundation is critical to both. I am going to present a progression of steps to follow, and each will require some work on your part to put into action.

It all starts with you, your passions, experience, and interest. I don’t know your belief system, but I am a Christian, and truly believe we were all given a set of talents and gifts to equip us to accomplish some things during our stay on this planet. If you are a baby boomer who is still trying to decide what you want to be when you grow up, it is time to kick it into high gear. This is like going to bootcamp.

I don’t want to keep you too much longer today, you have work to do. (This makes me feel like I should start putting the notes on the chalkboard.) There simply is no time to waste. Here are the first blocks for your blogs foundation.

Start with you, decide your focus. What are your passions, what have you always wanted to do? If you have a ton of experience, do you want to use that for your foundation? Would you rather learn a lot about something you love and then share it?
Give yourself permission to be creative here. You have had to do things required for a job all your life. This is your chance to blossom. In your gut, what have you dreamed of doing? Is it feasible, you can find out, but for now, jot all your ideas down, ask those who know you well to help you brainstorm.
Plan your time, how much of it can you dedicate to each task? In the beginning, it may be that you have to allocate all of it to understanding what you really want to target. It is easy to get caught up in a loop and not make any progress , so you have to set a serious time frame. I want you to develop a daily/weekly plan of tasks to do so you stay on track.
Those three steps can get you started. They may seem simple, but in my experience, are the hardest part. Understanding our deep desires is something that others can offer suggestions, but in the end, it is up to us. Dig in and go deep. If you need help with this step, I can recommend a couple of things for you. I found the book “Strengths Finder 2.0″ by Tom Rath to be really helpful.It will ask you questions about your preferences. It is designed to help you get a clear picture of you, funny that we need help with that.

For this particular book you can’t just get it at the library. The way it works is that you read the first part of the book. Then you have to take a test on the internet. To take the test, you have to use the code they give you in the book. That code can only be used once, the cost of the test is included in the cost of the book. After you take the test (no studying involved), you will get a very detailed report with the results, be sure to print that out, you will refer to it later. Here is a link for your convienence.

The other thing you can do is take a personality test, the DISC and Meyers Briggs are both good. These tools are really beneficial to help you understand what you are inately good at. When we were younger, a lot of us got our education based on what were considered “good jobs” with little consideration for what our talents and gifts were. That might explain why some of us worked at jobs that simply provided a paycheck while envying others who loved what they did. It is never to late to do what you love, so get going.

One last thing I need to tell you all. As we go, I am going to teach you ways to earn income with your blog. That link for the book is what is called an affiliate link. If you click on that and buy the book, Amazon pays me a small percentage. It costs you no more, but Amazon gets a tiny bit less on the book because they pay their affiliates a referral fee. It is a win/win, and I want you to learn how to start making money while helping others.

Secrets to Finding Affiliate Marketing Partnerships

The critical words in that title are affiliate marketing partnerships. The super affiliates I know have taught me the success comes after forming great relationships with the product owners, they recognize that business is built on solid partnerships.

When you are working hard in the beginning to get your business set up, I know that you want to open up you computer and see a message telling you that you have made a sale. Affiliate sales = money.I can sure identify with that, however, I want to encourage you to take the time to get yourself positioned appropriately.

You need to really spend time researching programs that you may want to promote. Your reputation is gold, and you don’t want to take the chance of compromising that by associating with programs that either are not a good match for your target market, or simply are a mediocre product. Don’t be lured by a good commission for a product that may disappoint your customer.

There are affiliate marketing opportunities for beginners….

As you start researching, there are things that you need to keep in mind when considering whether the product will work well with your business. You have worked hard to identify your niche market, now you need to consider the best ways to serve their needs. From my point of view, every business is a service business, because I think customer service is key.With the element of service in mind, as you search for products that make sense to promote, you need to remember that you are making a business decision.

There are certain questions you need to know the answer to when considering a program.   When conducting your due diligence process,  you are beginning to build a relationship with the programs owner. It is important you ask:



First and foremost is this a product your customers need
What type of materials will be provided to help you promote the product
Will the product owner write articles for your blog
Are they willing to do an interview
Do they answer customer emails, and is the answer timely
Do they have a number of articles available for use
Do they “guest blog”
What affiliate marketing tools do they provide
Do they provide banners that work on your website
What are the terms of the cookies they will provide
What type of access to the manager of the program offering
Don’t be intimidated just because this may be your first foray with a certain program. If you were going to make an investment in a new refrigerator for your home, the wise buyer will likely do research first, “Consumer Reports” entire business is built on that very premise.

The other secret to successful affiliate marketing partnerships

It is really important to remember that there is a flip side to the all important business realtionship that you are wanting to build. There are definitely things that the program manager is looking for in this partnership as well.

You need to be prepared to provide the things that concern the program owner. Don’t be surprised that the manager of a very successful program may have criterial that they expect their affiliates to meet. Some of those thing may include but not be limited to  questions like these:

How do you intend to promote the prodouct
What experience do you have with the product
How many visiters does your website get per month
How old is your website
What is your target market
Is that market a good match for the product
What keywords are you using to optmized your site
What is your SEO plan
Do you use Social Media
What is your most successful social media platform
What is your typical conversion rate
If you are brand new to this business, you should know a lot about the program before you approach the owner. If you can demonstrate that you have used the product, are a loyal follower of the owner, and have obvious eagerness and enthusiasm to be involved, it will probably make a good impression on the program manager.

Remember, affiliate partnerships are built on trusted relationshiops.

Remember the title of this blog, it is all about developing an affiliate marketing partnership. Just as it is important for you to work on building a great relationship with your customer, it is important to work toward creating a good working with your business partners as well.

All of you know that I am trying to teach you things I have learned from classes and mentors I have met  along the way. I have spent more hours than I can count, along with a considerable amount of money to compile a lot of this imformation. To be perfectly honest, there is a lot of information that I have paid for that I have not yet even consumed. That is pretty embarassing, but I am willing to bet that a lot of you have done the same thing. Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to raise your hand.

The point of my admission is that although those programs may have valuable information, I probably won’t pick any of those programs to recommend to other, at least not until I have had time to actually use them. For the most part, I have not yet spent the time to invest in building an ongoing relationship with those programs. I am guilty of joining a number of affiliate programs that I have never even taken the trouble to take a close look at the materials they provide for marketing, and the reason is that I have not even used the product, and can’t honestly recommend it yet.

Program owners invest in affiliates who get results

I had a class taught by a number of program owners, and they said that it is not much of an exageration to say that ten percent of their affiliate make ninety percent of the sales. It is a no brainer to conclude that they spend a lot of their time building those relationships, because those are valuable partnerships.

In January, I attended an online seminar that was given by a really impressive panel of affiliate marketing experts. The amount of information they provided was really mind boggling, and they are continuing to provide excellent information every week. It will culmlinate in August when they are holding a weekend live seminar in Atlanta. It is called NAMS (Niche Affiliate Marketing Seminar) and I have every intention of going and meeting all those experts in person.

I am going to recommend it to all of you.

I have done my due dilengence
I know the quality and quantity of the information
I am an enthusiastic consumer who really believes that this is really a ture bargain for anyone who is looking for affiliate marketing opportunities for beginners
The good news is that you can still get in on a great deal. The better news, is that you could join the affiliate program for NAMS and earn affiliate commission by recommending it to your customers. If you happen to be looking for an affiliate marketing opportunity for beginners, this honestly is one of the best things I know of. It will have not only tons of information from people worth paying attention to, but there are hands on workshops too!  I highly recommend you take the time to read about the seminar and then make your decision. It is a great place to start building your affiliate marketing partnerships.I am convinced that sometimes it pays you to invest in education.
