By : Emy Slm

It's important to note that these are online videos that you access from your web browser. Michael uses Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the premier software program for creating screen capture tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button on the first video was the incredible production quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing product. They sound like they were recorded in a professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he set out to create something different in order to raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll agree that he has succeeded.

Now let's move onto...

the actual videos

Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single thing here, but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can expect from the course, and why it's structured the way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him, and so he spends some time establishing his credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all. Michael explains that, in order for you to get value from the teachings, you need to have faith that the teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us product developers. If you want people to accept you as an authority on any subject, you first need to establish your credibility with the reader. That way he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini site marketing. This will set the foundation that all future learning will rest upon, so it's important to pay close attention to this one.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of kicking things off, and building the foundation for the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of money).

After watching this video, you'll know everything you need to know to start building a massive opt-in list right away. This will probably be the first video that you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create your own squeeze page right away.

MINI SITE COPY WRITING - PART ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written. Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the mysterious process of writing words that make people whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that practically forces your readers to go through your entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make your reader want to learn more.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail, especially considering that this course is not specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational products.

VIDEO 6 -

HOW TO AUTOMATE THE DELIVERY OF YOUR INFO PRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot. The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic, and letting the site itself do all the work, including the work of instantly delivering the product to the customer.

VIDEO 8 -

CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES FORCE

If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful marketers have in common, it's that they have a great affiliate program. They create a program that allows other people to make good money by promoting their products, and they get to just sit back and relax, while everyone else is doing the hard work of promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated sales people working hard to make you money, then you're going to love this video. Michael will teach you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates (most people miss the mark here, so pay extra attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough to convince people to sign up, and what you can do instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 -

MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you should do. You also need to know what mistakes you should avoid. Michael has already made these costly mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 -

SECRETS OF CREATING A PRODUCT FUNNEL

The title of this video says it all. You'll learn all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch freelancers to help you create your mini site empire in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything that mini sites require. For example, it's really tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer copywriter, on top of also creating the product itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be efficient, and begin making money as fast as possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it happen. This video will show you exactly what to do, as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls to avoid.

3 )Make Money Writing - Affiliate Marketing For Cash

2009-02-25T00:44:00.005+02:00

By Angela Booth

One of the easiest ways to make money writing is by affiliate marketing. Once you've set up a campaign for a product you're promoting, the cash flow will continue, so you can focus on additional products. Over time, you'll promote many products: this means that your income keeps rising.

What's Affiliate Marketing?

When you're affiliate marketing, you're promoting others' products and services online, for a commission. Commissions on products can vary, from just a dollar or two, to hundreds of dollars. It's an easy way to get started making money online, because you don't even need a Web site.

Important: although you can get started affiliate marketing very easily, the more you treat it as a business, the more money you will make. For example, the "bum marketing" craze is popular because you can indeed start your out just by writing articles to promote your affiliate products.

However, when you use strategies like bum marketing, you're not building a business, so as soon as possible, get your own sites and blogs, and promote your affiliate products that way. Over time, as traffic to your online properties increases, you'll make more money from each property.

Here are two ways to make money writing about affiliate products.

1. Make Money by Writing Reviews

The easiest way to sell an affiliate product is by writing a review of it. People considering buying the product like to read reviews before making a buying decision.

Your reviews should be genuine, so aim to promote only those products you've used. It's difficult to promote products you've never used, and if your reviews are too cookie-cutter, you won't make sales.

2. Promote Your Products With Blogs

It's very easy to create a blog, you can create one in minutes to promote a product. Add your reviews and other writing about your products to your blog, and over time, as the links to your blog increase, you'll get an increase in traffic, and in sales.

2 )Clickbank Reaper Review - A Top Notch System That You Need

2009-02-25T00:36:00.003+02:00

By Bryan Hufford

The Clickbank Reaper system is one of the many internet and affiliate marketing products that has been unveiled in 2009. While many of the products being released promise a mass of wealth and tons of hype, the Clickbank Reaper system is different. The biggest difference between it when compared to the other internet marketing products is the simple fact that this system actually does live up to its hype, in addition to producing excellent results.

The Clickbank Reaper system is comprised of a collection of different tactics, tricks, and other secrets that show you exactly how to not only dominate your niche market, but "milk" it for nearly everything. You'll learn the exact, step-by-step methods to niche and Clickbank domination. And, it's a perfect system, regardless of your experience. Even if you're a downright beginner, this system will help you generate an income that you can be proud of, each and every week with Clickbank.

If you're thinking about investing any kind of money into a product similar to the Clickbank Reaper, I would suggest that you hold off until you find out what Clickbank reaper is really all about. The only reason I say this, is for the simple fact that all of the other products out there just don't live up to their hype. And we all know that's what sells a product, is the hype alone.

With the Clickbank Reaper system, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Imagine eliminating those zeros on your Clickbank account, to seeing cash come sweeping through day in and day out. This system can make those "dreams" finally become a reality!

To learn more about the Clickbank Reaper system and how you can get your hands on it, check out my in depth review at Clickbank Reaper Review.

1) How to Use Social Networking Sites For Affiliate Marketing Success

2009-02-25T00:31:00.002+02:00

By Steven M. Lewis

Social networking sites have become a major online fad with both young people and professionals alike. These sites are also commonly referred to as Web 2.0 sites and are mainly used to socialize over the internet. Various forms of social networking sites include; forums, blogs, discussion boards, bookmarking sites and the ever popular Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. These social networking sites have members who are all interested one common thing - socializing.

Social sites have mushroomed in the recent years which now offer users a variety of new utilities. The most popular sites provide features like picture upload, broadcast messages, comments, video or audio upload, status updates, etc. There are also other social networking sites that help members to conduct discussions on various issues through their discussion boards. In addition, there are some sites like Squidoo that allows their users to make a quick buck in the form of affiliate revenues.

For the affiliate marketer, social networking sites are a great platform for gaining and maintaining new relationships. Although, the majority of affiliate marketers today are unaware that these sites can be utilized for generating new sales and building their sub-affiliate database - the successful affiliate marketer who is aware, generates a comfortable living offering affiliate products via social networking sites.

Before you decide to use social sites for generating affiliate revenue, or conduct affiliate marketing work, you must do your due diligence and read the site's terms and conditions for membership. Since different sites have different terms and conditions, it is very important that you are fully aware of them before conducting activities like affiliate marketing. For example, there are social networking sites that allow you to add a direct link to the program or product, whereas there are some who don't even allow you to link to your personal website or blog. There are even sites that won't allow you to send links via messages, for sites that are directly or indirectly linked with a product sale.

There is also the option of joining forums and discussion boards, where instead of directly pasting your sales pitch, you can join the discussions and provide good, relevant content and feedback and then try to slowly push in your passive sales pitch. For instance your signature can contain elements that can give a little idea about the products or the services that you are marketing. So, as the number of posts increase, the more your advertisement can possibly be viewed.

Here are 6 Tips for Social Affiliate Marketing Success

Sign Up. Become a member of social sites that you know other affiliate marketers might use. Don't overlook any of them until you've given them each a chance.
Don't Sell. Don't push your product or service on to new 'friends' of these sites. Provide the information subtly and see who bites first and then make the sale. These sites are about socializing and networking, fill your pipeline first before you saturate your community with your product solution.
Link, Link, Link. Add your affiliate link or website link everywhere you are allowed. All these sites have places for you to add your bio, other information and on topics that interest you.
Socialize. Just don't sign up and hope people will find you. You have to find people and engage them with a fun, positive attitude and by providing relevant content that your friends may find valuable.
Be Consistent. Be active on these sites daily. Don't work hard one day and then skip the next two. Stay active, stay seen.
Become Popular. These social networking sites are simply an information popularity contest - who's got more and who's got better. People buy from people they know and trust -- become that person.

Social networking sites are an excellent arena for meeting new people and making new sales. They can provide a huge boost in income if used in a prudent manner.

10) How to Make Money From Home Online?

2009-01-31T04:06:00.005+02:00

By Amber Golden

The number one question going though thousands of minds - How to make money from home online? A very profitable and easy way is affiliate marketing, described below.

One of the best ways to make money from home online is Internet Marketing. Because the Internet is enormous there are dozens of different ways to make money online.

Affiliate Marketing is one avenue within Internet Marketing.

Simply put affiliate marketing is advertising. Companies don't want to hire a whole department for advertising. They would have to pay thousands of dollars or more for payroll, insurance, unemployment funds and so on. So instead they set up accounts with trusted affiliate programs.

There is a company called Clickbank, it is an affiliate program, and one of the largest. Now Clickbank allows individuals to join as an affiliate, which by the way is free to join. From there you can choose over thousands of products to promote online. Once you have a product you then take a special link and post it pretty much anywhere on the Internet. By anywhere I'm referring to forums, chat rooms, blogs, emails, and your own websites. The list goes on and on.

The next step is actually very simple. If someone is sent to the product website through your link and make a purchase you get a percentage. The percentage varies from company to company. You can earn anywhere from 5% to 75%. You could probably earn more than 75% for a product, however I have not promoted anything over a 75% commission. Another thing I would like to mention is that some companies sell memberships to certain programs. Instead of them giving a one time payment for a purchase, they will give you a recurring payment for every month or week that person remains in the membership.

With affiliate marketing you can choose to do free advertisement or paid advertisement. Free advertisement requires a little more work and sales -which means money for you- takes a little longer to come in. I believe free advertisement is the best way to start. Now with paid advertisement AKA - PPC - sales come in very quickly. I would like to point out that if you don't know what you are doing with PPC you could lose money very quickly as well. If you are interested in PPC, there are dozens of programs available that teach you how to use PPC effectively. I suggest investing a small amount of money to gain knowledge of PPC instead of losing hundreds by jumping in blindly. Free advertisement and paid advertisement work great together. Why? Because the money made from free advertisement can then be used to pay for paid advertisement.

Affiliate marketing is one of the few ways to start an online business with no large amounts of money up front.

9) Affiliate Marketing Success - 3 Keys to Success

2009-01-31T03:56:00.004+02:00

By Fernando Morales

It all looks so easy when you read the sales letter of a popular affiliate marketing program. Your told that your success awaits behind the order link, so jump right in and get started. Unfortunately the bare knuckled reality is that it doesn't work that way.

If more people knew about what it really takes to become a successful affiliate, attrition rates would be lower and the stigma of affiliate marketing would be less likely to be considered a scam. Despite the disclaimers posted at the bottom of every affiliate products sales page many people exit the arena of affiliate marketing soon after they've made their entrance.

So what does it take to succeed with affiliate marketing? There are three keys to success that only the most focused and dedicated individuals will apply.

1. Knowledge

2. Discipline

3. Credibility

With these three keys any individual dedicated and persistent enough to apply them will smash headlong into success. Now if you'll notice, two out of the three keys can be obtained through external factors. One of them has to come from within.

There is more than enough information available on the internet that can teach you the basics of affiliate marketing. Credibility can be obtained through social proof by simply asking someone for feedback and using it as a testimonial to show others.

Discipline however cannot be obtained from anyone else, it has to come from within. Do you have what it takes to become successful with affiliate marketing? With a good program and hard work, the sky is the limit as far as possibilities go.

If you think you have what it takes to achieve affiliate marketing success, then I would like to invite you to download the Automatic Money Machines report. It's free. Inside you'll learn about a systematic approach to affiliate marketing that could possibly enhance your lifestyle and your finances.

8) Web Hosting Affiliate Programs

2009-01-31T03:52:00.003+02:00

By Harry Skillings

An affiliate marketing program is one of the very best ways to earn a good income with an online work at home job. Affiliate marketing is the home based business which can actually deliver on its promise, unlike so many other home based business opportunities. There is a substantial potential for growth, not to mention income which can match your expectations.

Many marketers decide to use services like ClickBank when determining what products will get the best results for their business. Many tools exist online to help you make the most of your business. ClickBank is one of the better tools out there and can help you to decide on best-selling products that will make big sales for your home based business.

There are a lot of different opportunities out there; it can be hard to tell which one will get you the income you want to make from your affiliate marketing career. Obviously, you want to find a high paying program - one which pays you a percentage of each sale made or one which pays you per sale are both good choices. Linkshare claims to be the biggest player in the field ,and they are very likely correct, having over 10 million partnerships, dwarfing any other program on the internet.

As an example, let's suppose that you get in on an problem that gives you a commission of 10% for each sale you make - so if you are marketing a product or service which sells for $250, you receive a commission of $25 for each sale made via your referrals. Now suppose that you can get several paying customers to the merchant's website every day, this can add up very fast. This payment model is called pay per sale.

If you really want a good return for your efforts, get involved with a web hosting affiliate program. You will be paid a referral fee for getting other people to sign up for a web hosting account and receive a referral fee of somewhere between $50-$100, which is a very good return for your work. Some of the green web hosts have great affiliate programs. This is a double bonus as you get to Go Green twice!

6) How to Choose the Best Affiliate Programs to Promote - 3 Rules

2009-01-31T03:47:00.003+02:00

By Dean Kendall

Not every product with an affiliate program is sure to be profitable, even if you follow everything your latest e-book says to a tee. Many people set out by trying to find a profitable market or niche, then try and find an affiliate program to match but in fact the best way is to choose your affiliate program first.

Clickbank is a very good place to start. You may already know that Clickbank has a huge marketplace full of 'info products' for immediate digital download by your referred customers. It's free to join up and promote Clickbank vendor products. Clickbank make it very easy to promote any product in their marketplace - just follow the prompts.

The big plus with digital information through Clickbank is that the product is delivered to the customer instantly - your commission is visible in your Clickbank affiliate account within minutes. And I have never had a problem being paid by Clickbank for my sales referrals as an affiliate.

3 rules to distinguishing profitable affiliate programs to promote from those that will be a dead waste of your time.

1. Make sure you can earn a minimum of 60% commission on every sale.

I've found it is not worth the effort to promote products that offer less than 60% commission. Most products in the Clickbank marketplace range between $27 and $77 so by sticking to the 'no less than 60% affiliate commission rule' you are sure to be earning a minimum of around $20 for every sale you refer.

You will find there are stacks of products in the Clickbank marketplace that offer 60% commissions, some even offer as much as 75%, others offer recurring commissions for membership or subscription type sites.

2. Check the Gravity Rating in Clickbank

The Clickbank gravity rating is based around the number of affiliates that have referred sales to a particular product during the week. The higher the gravity, the more affiliates are promoting the product and making sales.

What this means for us is: the product is already selling well and is in high demand - so, if it's profitable for other affiliates, it can be profitable for us.

3. Study the Sales Page

Now having said to focus on the higher gravity products does not always mean the lower gravity products won't be profitable, it may mean the product is just new to the marketplace, or no one has given it a shot yet.

However, if the product indicates a low gravity score, you will need to assess whether or not the sales page will convert your visitors into buyers. I've found the best way to judge whether or not a sales page will convert well or not is to read the entire sales pitch.

Put yourself in the frame of mind of someone who desperately needs the solution that the sales page offers, then ask these questions...

• Does the pitch answer all your questions? • Does it satisfy all possible objections (you could start by making a list of concerns before you even read the page). • Does the letter ask for the sale? (You'll be surprised how many sales letters make it difficult to order). You need to make sure it is really easy for the potential customer to buy the product.

Now you've learned a few good tips on how to choose the right affiliate program to promote, here's how you can discover even more little-known ways of making good money online. Simply sign up for free at: http://www.answer-now.com/affiliate-marketing.htm

5) The Beginner's World to Affiliate Marketing

2009-01-31T03:45:00.003+02:00

By Elijah Jordan Kim

If you have a background in marketing then it can be safe to say that you may have heard the term 'Affiliate Marketing' a number of times. Affiliate marketing is the relationship between a merchant and an affiliate (person who promoted the merchant's product for a commission). What makes this stand apart from the other types of marketing is that its platform is the internet. This has been around for many years and it has already carved its position to be the most effective and cheapest marketing method. A lot of people are using affiliate marketing in order to bring in an extra income for themselves.

One important factor when it comes to affiliate marketing is that the affiliate is paid for every customer that they refer to the merchant. It depends on the agreement between the two parties but the compensation can be a fixed amount for each sale or simply a payment if the visitor becomes a lead. One of the highlights and probably the main reason why affiliate marketing is being practiced by a lot of people is that no payments are made before the realization of either a sale or a lead.

There are two parties in affiliate marketing, the merchants and affiliates. The link between these two parties is called the affiliate network i.e a third party that handles tracking of sales/leads and payments.

The merchant is any owner of a website that desires to take advantage of performance based marketing i.e. pay only on a successful sale or acquiring a qualified lead. The benefits to the merchant are enormous. Firstly, the merchant potentially maintains and operates the affiliate program. It is also the merchant who decides how much he is willing to pay for each sale that results from a visitor sent from an affiliate.

On the other hand, the affiliate marketer is another website owner which allows the merchant to use up some of his website space for promotional purposes. The affiliate would need to accept the terms and conditions when it comes to pricing, delivery of action and payment. In some ways, affiliate marketing can be a huge source of profits for the affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing can best be described as a mutually beneficial relationship between the marketer and his affiliate. If these two parties will be able to mesh well together, their profits will definitely be increased. If you choose to venture into this kind of marketing, it is also one of the easiest ways to market your products and services if you are a merchant or earn extra income if you are an affiliate. But the one thing that you need to keep in mind is to come up with an idea that will enable you to stand apart from every affiliate marketer out there, and mind you, there are millions of them out there already.

3) Affiliate Marketing With Google Adwords

2009-01-29T00:56:00.003+02:00

Submitted By: Christoph Puetz

One of the best kept secrets in today's affiliate marketing world is the pay per click advertising version with Google AdWords. Adwords allows advertisers to place small ads on websites or on Google.com search result pages. You probably noticed the little advertisements to the right on Google.com.

In Affiliate Marketing you are promoting 3rd party products and in return you earn a share of a sale generated from your marketing efforts. We all have seen those little Amazon.com banners on different websites. These would be a very simple form of affiliate marketing. More sophisticated versions are complete stores build around Amazon.com or based on data feeds from other vendors. In some cases the affiliate has to build his own website and store - in others there are white label website templates or pages available for the affiliate to work with. Only when it comes to the actual sale the customer is redirected to the 3rd party vendor who carries the actual product.

Not a new variant but a not very well-known version of affiliate marketing is the promotion of affiliate product links/websites via Google AdWords. The power of advertising on Google.com is combined with the affiliate link. The affiliate partner does not need a website anymore, he directly links the customer to the 3rd party. With Google AdWords very targeted marketing is possible and well-written ads equipped with the right keywords can bring in big bucks. All the affiliate has to do is to figure out which keywords are affordable to promote. And that's where secret to success is. Everyone can buy the expensive and obvious keywords to promote products but when it comes to affiliate success via PPC advertising (aka Google AdWords) the inexperienced marketing folks are being weeded out or are left with big holes in their pockets. Finding the right combination of keywords, target group, ad copy is the critical piece of the puzzle.

Overall - affiliate marketing via PPC on Google or via Overture (competitor of Google AdWords) can be very lucrative and quite a few people are making a living of it. It sounds easy to do but to break into this field a new affiliate needs a lot of luck, big bucks or patience and knowledge.

There is a number of earning money online. Adsense is one of the popular ads serving program owned by Google. Google uses its search technology to show the advertisement on the site depending on the geographical location as well as some other factors. The individual owning the website on which the ads are posted is paid through the different ways including the pay per click and ad impression as an average. An individual has to create an account on the Google adsence for earning money. But you must have a live site if you are looking to earn money though adsense. Once your site is approved by the Google you will start earning money by both clicking and impression of the ads. Adsense is getting popularity these days as a popular method of advertising as it is more effective than the banners and the ads are more relevant according to the location and some other factors. Though, it is not easy to earn the money using the adsense. An individual has to follow an effective strategy to earn enough money through adsense. There are some effective tips that can help an individual to boost the sale of affiliate products on the site. Generate quality traffic for the site: You will be earning zero money if there is no traffic or most of the visitors are irrelevant to the site. To get the quality traffic for the site an individual has to get a name of domain properly matching with the type of product it is marketing. Post the description of your site on the popular online forums and search the people who are working on the same profile and try to post your comment on their site along with the name of product and the domain name of the site. Join only quality affiliate programs: It is not a good idea at all to increase the number of affiliate to get more sales. Rather than it, joining the reputable programs and focusing on the proper marketing of a single product can generate more revenue. Joining a program just for earning some money quickly is not a good idea at all. One should follow a long term policy to boost the affiliates rather than providing weekly advertising tactics that is not good for the reputation of the site. Register your own domain: Most of the people like to buy a product only from the person they can trust. Having your own domain is always better to earn the trust of the visitors. Try to get a name that is more appropriative according to the affiliate product which you are selling. Create your own site and load it with the most relevant information so that more quality visitor comes on the site. Using of appropriate keywords is better for search engine optimization. These are some tips that can help you to boost the affiliate marketing. This is a very effective ways to earn money online.
