SPECIAL: Your Passion, Your Niche, Your Online Income Potential (Skinny Body Care)

Whether you are a newbie or a veteran in the Internet Marketing (IM), if you are serious about earning serious income online, finding your passion and your niche are the first two steps that you need to do (mainly through self-discovery).

For the passion, it is really about your inner-self whereby only you have the answer. If you need some inspiration to uncover your passion, focus your search on what you like to do? what is your hobby? What activity(ies) you spent most time with?

For the niche, it is more of zooming into the specific sector(s) that you are prepared to spend your time/effort into, preferably it's related to your passion. For example, if your passion is in helping people to get a healthy lifestyle, you can focus on the health niche which can be further breakdown into more refine niches like Weight Management, Nutritional Tips, Gym Exercises etc...

Weight Management is a very popular and hot online niche at the moment, however, as there are so many different programs/networks available in the market, finding a suitable and good program to kick off your venture is a big challenge. For the Weight Management niche, there are 2 key areas that you need to pay full attention of:

1. The quality of the product/service that your are promoting/selling.

2. The Commission/Compensation Plan/Structure.

Recently, I've chanced upon a highly popular program called Skinny Body Care which provide the perfect answers/solution to these 2 areas. If you are into Weight Management/Weight Loss niche, do take advantage of their proven product, Skinny Fiber and their generous compensation plan. The best part is that there are not only 1 but 7 channels/avenues that you can get paid through their comprehensive compensation plan.

Registration is absolutely FREE, if you are serious about earning money online, this is definitely one of the handsome addition to your IM ventures. Of course, just like any other online money making program/networks, don't expect to just join the program, sit back and do nothing and expect the money to flow in automatically! There are works to be done as you need to treat this as any one of your online business  venture for it to be successful. Always remember that IM is not a Get Rich Quick venture, it is a long term venture with lot's to learn and to take action.

Cheers!   

CPA (Cost Per Action) Affiliate Programs : The Way To Go!

For the past few months, I've created a few blogs (including this one) to test the different Internet Marketing networks/programs in order to establish the best avenue/ways to earn money online. My findings is that CPA (Cost Per Action) Affiliate Program is one of the best way to earn money online!

CPA affiliate program is an online advertising model in which payment is based solely on qualifying action such as leads, sales, online registration etc through your site/blog. There are many different variation of CPA programs e.g. CPL (Cost Per Lead), CPV (Cost Per View), CPL (Cost Per Load) or even CPC (Cost Per Call). Among the different types of CPA programs, I find that CPL (Cost Per Lead) for free software/registration/subscription is one of the most lucrative program (at least to me).

There are many affiliate networks or private programs in the market. Before you can start the CPA Affiliate marketing, you need to register/join the network(s) as a publisher or affiliate first. There is no restriction on the number of affiliate programs you can register but usually the network take 1 to 3 working days to review and accept your application.

Just to list a few, following are some of the popular and established affiliate program(s)/network(s) that you should explore further:

1. Commission Junction   - An established affiliate network with hundreds of ready advertisers
2. Linkshare  - An established affiliate network with hundreds of ready advertisers
3. PublisherRev - An established affiliate network with hundreds of ready advertisers
4. Adscend Media  - An established affiliate network with hundreds of ready advertisers
5. RevResponse - A private affiliate program that earn you commission just by sharing the FREE content (free trade magazines/ebooks etc...)

Regardless of your niche market, I am sure you can find some suitable programs from the abovementioned networks.

Cheers!

SPECIAL : Entrepreneurial Community - New School Tie

Affiliate Marketing is one of the lucrative avenue in Internet Marketing. In the Affiliate Marketing model, you have the advertisers/merchants (the business owners who provide the services/products) and the publishers/affiliates (anybody who are promoting the services/products of the advertisers and earning commission out of it) working together to promote/advertise the relevant services/products.

There are many established platform/networks like Commission Junction, Linkshare acted as a "middle-man" in linking the advertisers and the publishers. Of course, Every such network has their pros and cons and T&Cs that the advertisers/publishers need to adhere to.

Recently, I've chanced upon a brand new community/portal that aimed to link the merchants/advertisers and publishers/agents together with much more freedom of choice. Besides, it works well for both online as well as the physical/offline programs/projects.
