While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It’s called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly by PayPal.

Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly by PayPal.

I expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of ‘instant commissions’ played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7DollarSecrets and the RapidActionProfits scripts.

I’ve actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant paypal commission. And I’ve seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.

As soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree, it sounds like a winner to me.

I’ve just signed up and had a look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check it out at the link below and let me know what you think.

Sociable – You might see some little icons at the bottom of posts in WordPress for various sites such as Facebook, StumbleUpon, Technocrati, Digg and many others. These are all social websites where users participate in finding interesting things to share. What could be better than having them share your content? Can you say more traffic?

WordPress Download Monitor – Have an Ebook? Would you like to make a bit of extra cash with it? Want to know how many have downloaded it after they have paid you using the ArePayPal plugin? Just use this handy plugin to upload your ebook. Track the downloads and secure it to members only.

Google XML Sitemaps – This is probably the most absolute handy plugin you could install. It is a definite must have for any WordPress blog. Configure it once you install it and your pages and posts will be added to the Google directory search much faster than if you waited for Google to crawl your site. Sometimes only hours from the time you post to the time people find you through the search engine.

WP-Affiliate – Affiliate marketing is always a touchy thing. People can just copy the link and remove your id to deny you any commission. This can happen easily if someone uses an iframe to display your site and some software to just swap their affiliate id with yours. Users are also a bit more inclined to click on a link that doesn’t have an affiliate id. This plugin will allow you to add links that will redirect to the actual link without the user knowing until they are already there. It will also help you with your Google page ranking as Google looks for those affiliate id’s and off site linking. This works great with affiliate programs like Clickbank and Commission Junction.

With a little work you can have a healthy number of revenue streams with your WordPress Blog. All while providing great content for your readers.

What exactly did Google do?

They increased the fees of advertising in the Adwords program to the point that it wasn’t really profitable to use the advertising if all you were doing was pushing people to a splash page and then redirecting them to the actual sales page.

Yep. That’s right. They penalized affiliate marketers for doing what they do best. Creating traffic for a product where they gained a commission.

It would be nice if Google actually penalized other forms of marketing in the same manner but they didn’t.

It also affected may other legitimate websites. Some to the point that it made advertising with Google extremely difficult and expensive.

A new tool, Google Goggles, tries to help SEO Specialists and website owners by providing a tool to mimic what Google sees and rank your pages accordingly. Hopefully increasing your chances of lower advertising fees by showing you what to improve or change.

Not only does it allow you to know in advance if your campaign will be a stinker, or a goose that lays golden egg. It even makes specific suggestions as to what to tweak, in case it determines that your campaign won’t fare as well as you had hoped to, so you can, in actuality, still make it profitable right there and then! – Google Goggles

I can’t say for certain that this tool will be the end of “Google Slaps”, but it definitely can’t hurt to give it a try if you are using Click Bank for your affiliate marketing.

Those who use these free services are using what is called “Bum Marketing”. It is the cheapest form of traffic you can manage to get for your product.

There are several ways to get “Bum Marketing” to work for you.

Forum Signatures:

Probably the least effective method of marketing you can use but you can actually get some links. Most forums allow you to add links to your signature. This allows you to place your Clickbank link or link to your product within your signature that is seen in each post you make.

Some forums will generate more traffic than others. It is best if you place your link in forums that go along with the niche you are trying to promote. The more you participate, the more your signature will permeate the forum.

Social Websites:

There are several social websites out there. Myspace, Facebook, Bebo, Squidoo and more. All of them are free. It just takes a bit of time and a email address to get your own social page. If you already have one then it would be just a matter of writing a bulletin or blog post about your product with a link to the product itself and send it to all of your friends.

While most of the social websites are not designed to sell a product or direct people to another website, you can do this with Squidoo. They want you to make pages to sell your products. They want you to make pages to direct people to your own website. They even rate the pages you create. The higher the rating the more people you get to see your Squidoo page. Obviously this leads to more people either purchasing your product or visiting your site.

The other sites depend on how many friends you have and how many might click on your profile looking for something else entirely.

Blogs:

Two major blogs you can use are Google’s Blogger and WordPress. Both give you the ability to create your own blog without having to come up with your own website or domain. Creation of an account and Blogs is quite easy. Both offer templates that you can use to customize the blog with or you can come up with your own template.

Just make a good strong post about your product. Try not to make too many links to your product. Both Blogger and WordPress search for and shut down Blogs they deem blatant advertising(spam). Convince your readers that they need to click on the link to proceed to your Affiliate link or product and make a purchase.

Articles:

While it might sound easy to create an article it is not always so. Some articles take a bit of thought. Especially if you have specific rules that you need to adhere to in order to get it published. You want to stick to those rules so that it will meet the standards that are required and so that people who are searching for content on their websites will pick up your article and publish it on their website. Obviously the better the article the more people will use it for content.

Many article publishers would rather you do not place many, if any links to your product or affiliate site in your article. Some will allow you to place those links in your signature. Either way it is probably best to just place a link to one of your Bum Marketing sites instead of directly to your affiliate link.

There are several places you can submit your articles. EzineArticles and GoArticles are two of the better places to get your article published. There are also websites you can subscribe to in order to get your article published to literally hundreds of article websites.

An example of an approach to Bum Marketing would be to find your niche that you want to promote a product on. Something you might know quite a bit about. Visit Clickbank or your other Affiliate for a product to promote. Create a Squidoo lense for your product. Create a blog on either or both Blogger or WordPress. Remember to make any links to your Squidoo lense site. Not your product.

Lastly, you would want to write a good strong article to promote your product and either point to your Squidoo lense or to your Blogs and publish it on EzineArticles first, GoArticles second then maybe your list of article directors third.

Ebook

It’s a great book and I’m sure you’ll get a lot of value from it.

Also, if you sell on eBay or plan to in the future, OneSource is a great place to find wholesalers and drop shippers for your eBay auctions.

And there are 2 big reasons you should become a member of OneSource today:

The first reason is right now, they are running a $30 discount to a lifetime membership to OneSource. The discount only lasts until the end of November. It’s the lowest price you’ll be able to get a lifetime membership to OneSource.

The second reason why you should get OneSource is wholesalers have begun offering steep discounts on their products. They are trying to get inventory out of their warehouses before the end of the year, so they won’t have to pay taxes on the inventory.

That rarely happens this time of year.

But, with the combination of the housing and mortgage market, the low consumer confidence index and wholesalers overestimating retail sales, wholesalers are looking for a way to liquidate goods immediately.

It’s a great opportunity to stock up on items to sell right now and for the first quarter of 2008. But you need to take advantage of this now.

This window of opportunity closes on December 31st, 2007.

Chris Malta, the founder of Worldwide Brands, explains how you can take advantage of this rare opportunity and buy low from wholesalers and sell high for nice profits in a brief audio.

You can listen to his 8-minute audio here:

That’s the burning question that everyone wants
to know, right?

And then questions that usually follow from that
such as:

“Which keywords will I use?”
“What is the best ad copy to use?

An excellent new report is out by Chris Carpenter of
Google Cash, and is free by the way :-) reveals how
new technology is changing all of that.

It shows you how you can actually know what affiliate
programs are actually profitable, which keywords to use,
and which Ad copy to use with near scary accuracy!

These are exciting times, indeed. However, those who
don’t take advantage of this technology will be left
in the dust…pennyless. And those that do learn about
this and take full advantage will be more profitable than
ever.

Go read the report right now, before they take it down!

To your success,

Most people already know about Amazon.com. It is a great place to shop for just about anything. What a lot of people may not know is that you can make money with Amazon.com. If you have things you want to sell or a business and want to sell to a larger market Amazon might be for you. But that isn’t what this article is about. We may discuss that later. But for now, we will be discussing their affiliate program.

Amazon has a fairly neat affiliate program, Amazon Associates. You can earn money when people you refer to Amazon buy things from the Amazon site. They have several different methods of advertising that you can use. Of course you have to be an Associate to get this.

One method that is pretty popular is through Banner advertisements. They are fairly easy and you can semi target them towards your website audience. Of course they actually have to buy things but that is another story.

Another method they have is Amazon Stores. This is fairly new to Amazon Associates. You used to have to have third party software on your website to create your own store that showed products from amazon. Now, you just have to place some code on your website after you tailor the store to your needs with specific products or categories of products.

Right now, Amazon is running a special and increasing the commission rates for the holidays. Trying to get more people to shop online with them.

This is a nice simple way to earn a little bit of money. The commissions are about 4% for most items. Some run more and some less but it will usually average out to 4%.

Could be a nice addition to a website you already have if you are interested in it. Low maintenance and easy to set up. It will mostly do the work itself once it is going. Very little time will be needed to maintain it. And all you would need is the ability to insert a bit of code into a page. They give you the code so you don’t have to figure anything out.

Check it out.
