Awesome!

This post will go over the simple steps of how to put your links on your blog site or sites.

Affiliate Links Step#1:

Grab your affiliate code from the vendor you will be promoting. Be sure to cloak or hide your affiliate link from prying eyes.  There are two ways to hide or cloak your affiliate link. “You can do it by hand or by using software”.   I personally use  Ninja software simply because it saves me tons of time.

Affiliate Links Step#2:

Once you have your code ready, copy it and bring it to your wordpress blog site. Log in to your WP account and go to your dashboard. You have two choices on where to put affiliate links or banners with affiliate codes embedded.

Putting your link directly in your post:

To do this, simply start writing your post.  Choose a key word to highlight.

Example Post:

I am writing a post about how to put affiliate links on your blog sites. It is always a good idea to hide your affiliate links with link cloaking software so your links are safe from internet link thieves.

“Notice the highlighted text above?”  That is an example of what your text link will look like. The affiliate link attached to it goes to my affiliate link for a link cloaking software program.

Affiliate Links Step#3:

To make this happen, highlight the words that are relevant to your affiliate product you are promoting. You will see the infinity symbol above in your writing area. Click on the symbol. A box will pop up asking for the link. Paste the link in to the box and hit save. It’s that simple.

The term Internet Marketing to some folks has a bit of a sour ring to it. Sad but true, the term is misrepresented by the internet hacks out there that gave the true Online Marketers a bad rap.

So let’s get into what it really is and how you can learn to market products online.

What is Internet Marketing?

Internet Marketing is exactly what it sounds like. It is marketing products or services on the internet. There are different forms of marketing with different niches to consider. First, we will go over what the various types of marketing that is conducted on the web.

Internet Marketing For Online Stores:

Internet Marketing For Information Products:

Internet Marketing For Affiliate Marketers:

Internet Marketing For Bloggers:

So you’ve decided to open an online store, have created your own information product or service or are looking to be an affiliate marketer or serious blogger. How are you marketing your products to potential customers? How are you different from other sites and how will you get noticed and compete against other online markets?

Before starting your marketing campaign, you need to look at those questions and start writing out a list of thoughts and priorities.

The number one thing I have seen so many new online marketers fail to focus on, is getting traffic to their sites.

Your first focus should be getting targeted customers to your site. This is the number one issue that is overlooked by newer online stores,landing pages and blog sites. The focus seems to be on the product, the shopping cart and the look of the site. While these are all important, your number one focus as soon as you have a product ready to rock and roll, should be on getting traffic to your site. This goes for anyone that wants to sell anything online. Traffic is the key to a profitable business on the Internet.

* Understand your target market and what they are looking for when shopping for the product you have to offer.
* Determine exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
* Position your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
* Collect information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
* Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads

If you are just getting your feet wet with Internet Marketing, you may want to consider starting out as an affiliate marketer. Affiliate marketing is the easiest way to get a handle on learning the ropes from the ground up. There is zero risk since you are promoting other peoples manufactured tangible or digital products.

Please know that any type of marketing takes focus and dedication.

You will find that there are many scams on how to build a successful Internet or Affiliate Marketing business. Do your homework and keep learning as you move along.

What You Will Need To Start:

Your own domain name: If you use a free website you are at risk. Get a domain that you own.

Godaddy is great for domains.

A Hosting Account: There are several out there to choose from. I personally like HOSTGATOR.

Here is the link with a coupon code for Hostgator. Use Coupon Code HOSTMEBABY

An Auto-Responder: I use AWEBER for my auto-responder

Your total start up should be less than 50 bucks for your domain a hosting account and an auto-responder
