A niche market is a small segment of a large market. For example, “Business/Investing” is the large market. “Stock Market” is the smaller segment. “Real Estate” is also a smaller segment of “Business/Investing.” What interests you? That is the first and most important question when you are just getting started. What would it be like if you really enjoyed the subject matter of the business you are building? How surprised would you be to stick with it and get up and running?
You will discover that Affiliate Marketing In ACTION! The Landing Page, The Opt-In, The List takes the guess work out of choosing a niche market. You will learn a quick and simple process for deciding on a niche market to serve.
I can year you wondering… "Do I have to stay with the first niche market I choose? What if I change my mind?"
Most of us have varied interests, and over time you CAN have several niches… for now, though, it’s best to pick just one niche — something that really interests you.
What would it be like if you could get a domain name that perfectly describes your niche market? Perhaps surprisingly, there continue to be some great domain names available. To find a domain name that works for you, you can follow the simple formula in Affiliate Marketing In ACTION! The Landing Page, The Opt-In, The List.
For a newbie it is just too complicated to get a domain name from one company and the web hosting somewhere else. You could save $5 getting your domain name somewhere else, but you will pull your hair out in frustration trying to do the extra steps that will be required. Keep it simple and get your domain name at the same place you get your web hosting — and HostGator.com is my recommendation if you’re on a tight budget.
Giving away a free ebook is at the heart of the "build a list" strategy in Affiliate Marketing In ACTION! The Landing Page, The Opt-In, The List. You will be given an amazing three-page listing of free ebooks (mostly from Free-ebooks.net) that are available on the internet for you to give away on your site. Other books and websites say, "give away a free ebook," and Affiliate Marketing In ACTION! The Landing Page, The Opt-In, The List actually provides a list of free ebooks that will serve your niche market — and you learn how to find many more free ebooks to give away.
The web page where you tell all about your free ebook is called your "landing page." That’s because when someone does a Google search for a specific keyword, the results appear on Google, they click your link, and then they "land" on your page.
You might find that building your own web page is easier than you think when you have a starter template.
Templates are provided for you… simple templates that don’t require a lot of alterations so you can get up and running quickly.
Step-by-step instructions are also provided for downloading a free WYSIWYG web editor if you don’t already have one. WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get, which means it’s similar to creating a PowerPoint presentation with text and graphics, but the web editor writes the HTML code for you.
The template has what I call a "Joe Vitale Style" header which is typically very customer needs focused and simple. Joe Vitale is an immensely successful internet entrepreneur. He and Pat O’Bryan (another immensely successful internet entrepreneur), co-wrote, ClickBank Secret Code, the ebook that inspired me to start out in affiliate marketing.
You do not have to spend a lot of time writing to do the process outlined in this book to get your affiliate marketing business up and running.
Certainly, you will need to develop your writing skills over time because great content is extremely important to attracting visitors to your site.
You can get up and running now, though, without considering yourself to be a great writer.
You will easily be guided to compose brief segments by the crystal-clear step-by-step instructions provided in Affiliate Marketing In ACTION! The Landing Page, The Opt-In, The List.
There’s something for me to be clear about right now, because your satisfaction is important: this book does not include information about blogging. Blogs are wonderful and you will probably want to start one later. Some other websites and other books suggest that a blog is easier than a website. I didn’t find it to be easier, although I know many others who love blogging and do well with it. Blogs DO require a lot of writing — immediately and constantly. If you do not think you can start out keeping a blog up to date by writing once a day (or at least once a week) you are invited to consider the basic niche website process shown to you in this book.
Affiliate Marketing In ACTION! The Landing Page, The Opt-In, The List makes it clear and easy how to create the web pages you need. Over time the pages you create by following this guide could become information sites — mini sites — where you provide great content your visitors want. But that comes later, after you’ve completed this guide.
An opt-in web form, coupled with your free ebook offer, is an effective way to "build your list."
It’s called an opt-in because when the person "opts" to give you their email address in exchange for the free ebook.
Most of the companies that provide opt-in web forms charge by the month — anywhere from $8 per month to $19 per month for sites such as the one you will build. It is extremely important to limit your expenses during the first months when your affiliate marketing website does not generate any income at all. Many people use and recommend the most well-known company…
