Here is Paula and Arlene at the Summit Registration desk  Arlene has a website devoted to moms with children who suffer from epilepsy.

The site is called EpilepsyMoms.com and is a must visit for anyone who has a child with this condition. Arlene has been through the trauma of having a child with epilepsy so she knows what you are going through and her site is full of information and resources to help any parent in this situation.

The conference was full on as always and the information gained makes this meeting well worth while for anyone in the Affiliate Marketing business.

Being at the Affiliate Summit and meeting with our fellow students was a lot of fun, usually we communicate through the online bootcamp sessions and the forums that James has put in place to assist us all.

We spent some time talking to the lady from Popshops. Anyone who has an Affiliate Marketing site will find Popshops to be invaluable as a time saving tool that we recommend.

We touched base with a number of Affiliate Networks with a view to getting more good quality, high converting merchants on our sites.

This all equates to $$$’s in the long run so the Summit is the place to be.

If you are looking to monetise your website or blog, it pays to deal with the Affiliate Networks who help to protect your income by making sure you do receive your payments and working with a Network makes it easier to find merchants with products relevant to your site. 

Paula and I are at the shareasale.com Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas. This is our second Affiliate Summit and we are much more confident this time around. We are no longer unsure of how to approach Affiliate networks and merchants especially as one of our sites is on page one of Google which gives us a little credibility. It shows that we know how to get a website to rank well and as our competition number 41,000,000 it is no mean feat.

Affiliate Marketing is an excellent way to earn an income with your website or blog. Simply join up with one of the Affiliate networks such as CJ, shareasale.com, Affiliate Traction, Link Connector, LinkShare.com; join a merchant program that suits your website and place the merchant ads and/or banners on your site. It is certainly a way to gain a bit of extra income.

For those of you who are really interested in getting started in Affiliate Marketing, Paula and I can thoroughly recommend the James Martell method of learning. Everything is outlined in small, understandable sessions and James is a patient, thorough teacher

Developing Content for Your Site, Listen-In as James Martell Talks to Award-Winning
Copywriter Kellie Fowler

Coffee
Talk with Kellie Fowler from DotComCopy.com

In this edition of Coffee Talk, James catches up with award-winning copywriter Kellie Fowler. Kellie owns DotComCopy.com and regularly provides content for Webmasters worldwide (including James).

The two talk about the importance of creating content that delivers value to a site visitor and Kellie shares with James the step-by-step process she goes through to develop articles, headlines, even unique stories for website pages. Before concluding, they also talk about press releases – sharing writing and distribution secrets with listeners.

If you’re a Website owner, you’ve undoubtedly been faced
with the agony that comes when you know it’s time to write
content for your pages and you find yourself staring at a blank computer screen, not sure what to do next. Fear not; even
the best writers face this, which is why it is commonly referred to as “writer’s block.” Just ask freelance copywriter Kellie Fowler.

As she tells James, coming up with unique story lines that will serve to pique a reader’s interest and prompt a sale can be a bit tricky, but it is certainly something every Webmaster can do with a bit of guidance, which is offered in this candid Coffee Talk.

Kellie, which provides content packages and content subscription services to Webmasters, talks to James about how she approaches
writing projects and how she conducts research for the content she provides for site pages like the home page and product pages, articles, press releases, newsletters and Blog posts. In fact, you may be surprised to know that the research phase often takes her longer to complete than the actual writing.

The two also talk about the need to make a site’s content unique and valuable and Kellie shares insider secrets on how to best do this. They even touch on keyword use and Kellie explains how she uses keywords so that they are as appealing to the reader as they are to the search engines.

Additionally, James tells listeners about “brochure-ware” (which you will surely
want to avoid) and the two spend some time talking about the process behind crafting
content that is written in a natural style and can be counted on to convert.

If you’re a webmaster, you know that the key to a high-ranking site is content,
making this is another Coffee Talk you don’t want to miss.

uniquely derives most of his traffic through natural search at the major search engines.

James shares this knowledge with other webmasters in the THIRD EDITION of his highly acclaimed Affiliate Marketers Handbook,
his twice monthly Affiliate Buzz audio newsletter and his online Affiliate
Marketers BootCamp where he holds classes via the Internet for those wanting the
heads up on the best home based business opportunities available online.

James resides in a seaside community south of Vancouver, BC Canada
with his wife Arlene and four children, Adam, Justin, Shelby and Victoria.

James provides instructions that are easy to understand and follow.

However, with Google Adsense making it easy for anyone with a blog or website to put ads on a page has this led to ad blindness by website searchers and consequently less click through rates.  

And even though evidence shows that people are clicking through on the merchant ads, often there is little in the way of conversion once they reach the merchant site.

We have been discussing whether or not to enter the arena of Pay Per Click advertising but it is not a cheap exercise.  The bidding on Keywords is quite competitive and the price on keywords has now become relatively expensive for what the returns might be.

 There has been a lot of talk about click through fraud which is another reason why Pay Per Click advertising needs to be carefully considered before rushing in and spending hard earned dollars.  

There are a number of other ways to advertise on your site and video advertising is seen on an ever growing number of sites.   Maybe this is a better option.

We would certainly like to hear from others who have are are thinking of delving into Pay Per Click.

4. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is a commission based system which in essence is used by a large number of website owners on the internet today. Basically it involves developing a website on a particular topic and placing merchant text or banner ads on the site. When a visitor to the website clicks on one of those ads and purchases a product or service from the resulting merchant website then the affiliate website owner receives a commission.

Paid surveys are another way to make money on the internet however it can be a bit hit or miss and you are not likely to make a fortune.

More and more families are struggling with debt – be it escalating mortgages, credit card debt, or trying to save for a child’s education or retirement. The truth is that day-to-day living has become more expensive and keeping up is a battle, and most people have all but given up their dreams of finally getting ahead.

But this just doesn’t have to be the case.

In fact, there is a legitimate, proven way to make money – whether to simply supplement your current income or to provide a full-time income for you and your family, and it’s called affiliate marketing.

And perhaps one of the Net’s longest running affiliate marketers, James Martell, who has been teaching his tried-and-true moneymaking techniques to people just like you for well over seven years, is now making his infamous live BootCamp training available via the Internet.

This means anyone can take advantage of this eight-week course to ensure they achieve financial freedom once and for all.

The online “Night School” edition allows Martell to come in to your home “live” through an engaging, real-time online conference room. The 10-week curriculum will be delivered each week for ten weeks, with each night-school style course dedicated to one of the 8-Steps outlined in Martell’s top-selling downloadable Affiliate Marketers Handbook.

Normally delivered in three consecutive days in Martell’s hometown of Surrey, BC (Canada), the BootCamp materials and live instruction have been further broken down to ensure online BootCamp attendees fully grasp each of the eight steps, and can have the time to apply these and ask Martell questions in the live question and answer sessions held at the conclusion of each evening course.

When asked about her experience at Martell’s most recent BootCamp, attendee Julia Mahler said this: “The past 3 days were truly amazing. I learned SO much, became re-motivated and re-inspired to continue my publishing business, I’ve lost sight of my dreams over the last couple of years - I can see them again now. Thank you!”
