Join us at the Niche Affiliate Marketing Workshop in Atlanta, GA!

The NAMS workshop always sells out in advance, and the last I heard there were less than 40 seats left for the upcoming workshop in August 2010. It takes place in Atlanta, GA – and it’s one of the most fun and productive events I attend!

At the very least, you should give it serious consideration. It’s an opportunity to work hands-on for the weekend with instructors like Willie Crawford, Bob “the teacher” Jenkins, Jeff Herring, Paul Evans, Denise Wakeman, Maritza Parra – and many more, including myself.

This is the one live event where I teach Affiliate Marketing hands-on and in person twice a year.

I have a coupon code you can use to get $300 off your ticket: NAMS4FF

Just use that code at checkout when you register:

It’s a great time, it’s super-productive, and it’s an awesome group of like-minded people to hang out with and share ideas with for the weekend!

You’ll want to bring a laptop and come prepared to make progress, and even make sales, on the spot. Instructors make themselves available all weekend to brainstorm, answer your questions, and personally help you.

Don’t miss out- The next live NAMS event isn’t until January 2011!

Best,

p.s. We always have a big number of Elite Members at the live NAMS event. We’ll be opening the private group back up soon for new Elite Members I am really looking forward to the 4th event in August, and hope to see you there!

I had a fabulous time at the Niche Affiliate Marketing workshop in Atlanta this past weekend, and wanted to share a few pictures with you to give you a good idea just how fun & productive the weekend truly was.

Above is a shot of me with Nicole Dean and Willie Crawford right before we presented in the Advanced session on Hiring & Working With Affiliate Managers.

Nicole & Willie are two of the best Affiliate Managers I know. I’ve had a chance to work with them both personally as an Affiliate. They have tons of experience managing affiliate programs and working with affiliate managers & JV partners.

We discussed the pros & cons in great detail, and I really took a lot away from that session! The biggest point being about outsourcing: Know who you need to hire, and why, as it relates specifically to your business model.

I had the opportunity to work alongside Jeff Herring on Day One of the 3-day workshop, following my presentation on Getting Started with Affiliate Marketing. Jeff and I taught together on market research, niche selection & creating content.

I put together a password-protected post with PDF Tutorials for attendees to download, to help them work on their sites after the event. The password is “nams3″. I just didn’t want Google indexing the PDF files.

My daughter Annie attended the NAMS Workshop with me this time, which was great fun! She really enjoyed getting to meet everyone in person that she see’s cross my computer screens every day here in the home office.

She got very involved, and came home to get straight to work on her affiliate site – and is even tweeting now! You’ll find her on Twitter as @anniemgarrett

Our own Magic Myke was kind enough to design her a custom blog header while we were at the event. When they weren’t playing Scrabble on the iPhone at least

It means a lot to me to have my children so involved in my business after all these years. I have been working from home for 13+ years now, and the fact that they both took an interest has made this last year truly amazing. My son, Zack 18yo, is the developer behind a new site I am releasing in beta: http://www.GeekTrax.com

Annie actually spent most of her time with her new surrogate parents (lol) Aileen Bennett and Kevin Riley. Three peas in a pod, no doubt! LOL

I had a fabulous lunch (and much-needed break) with the gals on Sunday. Left to right is Tishia Lee, Danielle Johnson, Angie Newton, my daughter and then me. Lots of laughs at this table – I’m shocked we didn’t get kicked out, or at least get a round of applause from the whole restaurant when we finally left!

This picture just cracks me up -LOL. That’s me, with Bob “the Teacher” Jenkins. He was a huge hit at the workshop with his presentation on Using Social Media to Drive Traffic – everyone loved it!!

Traci Knoppe and I on my HP Netbook (I love that thing!!) checking out the tweets & photos that were being posted live at the event. Traci runs Your Web Tech Team and is the developer behind the Beginner to Blogger training program.

On Day 2 of the NAMS event, I had the pleasure of presenting alongside Sid Hale and Kevin Riley. Sid is the developer behind RAP (Rapid Action Profits) and Kevin is a total whiz at info-product development. In the photo above, I had just informed them both that there was only one microphone.

I really enjoyed Sid’s presentation just before that, where he discussed the power of creating and working with a team of affiliates in your online business. He made some awesome points about leverage and scalability.

After his presentation, the three of us lead a workshop on creating info-products and recruiting affiliates. Definitely a highlight for me over the weekend!

Michael Schultz took this photo – I got busted sitting in the back of the room texting & tweeting. Ha! Also in the photo is Chris Cobb, Maritza Parrah, Kathleen Gage and Jeff Herring. All working away from the back of the room!

Me with Kimmoy (left) and Andrea (right) – both Elite Members of SSWT.

There were over 70 Elite Members at the NAMS event, so I held a private reception for our group on Saturday night. We had a nice food spread and a great time. In the photo above, my daughter and Aileen Bennett were doing the drawing for the book giveaways – and cracking everyone up! LOL They’re a mess

During the Elite Reception, Deb Gallardo sang an Internet Marketing parody for us – great entertainment and lots of laughs!

I also finally unboxed my Macbook Pro live at the Elite Reception. In the photo above you can see I’m having serious second thoughts. Kidding!

This is Mark Mason, who was kind enough to video the Macbook Pro Unboxing.

Left to right is “Toronto Carol”, Angie Newton, me and Julie Anna Schultz (mom to the whiz kid, Magic Myke). All fabulous ladies that I consider great friends!

Scott aka @FatLossQuickie kept the whole crowd in stitches throughout the weekend with his “quickie talk”. You’ll remember that Scott recently did a guest series here on ClickNewz with some fabulous posts on “a healthy approach to internet marketing”. If you missed those, they’re well worth a read!

Another shot with Nicole Dean and Willie Crawford. Two of the most real, down to earth, friendly – and brilliant! – online marketers that I know.

And last but not least, Kurt Scholle – the man responsible for all the great photos. He did a fabulous job catching some of the best moments of the NAMS event. You can find the rest of his pictures on his Flickr account. Thank you, Kurt!

I wish I could share every single moment, conversation and aha! that I had over the weekend but there’s just no way to capture it all – except to be there. I do hope you’ll consider joining us at a future event!

The next NAMS will be held in August 2010. I’ll let you know as soon as I have sign-up information, or you can keep an eye on the website here:

Freelancing: A New Income Stream
for Internet Marketers

Are you an Internet marketer who’s still waiting for your online business to produce a full-time income? If so, you’ll be happy to know that you’re sitting on a gold mine just waiting to be tapped.

That gold mine is you: your knowledge and expertise in Internet marketing. If you’re like most Internet marketers, you’ve invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to learn the nuts and bolts of online marketing.

You may not realize it, but you’ve got plenty of skills and experience that other people would willingly pay you money for…

Freelancing or offering your services to other entrepreneurs can bring you immediate cash flow. You may soon find your freelancing to be out-earning your Internet marketing activities.

Is the Opportunity for Online Freelance Work Really There?

Lynn Terry has predicted here that “2010 is going to see a huge need for consultants and service providers to bring small businesses online so that they can engage with their customers.”

Frank Kern makes a similar prediction in his “State of Internet Marketing Address” (you can watch it here). In fact, guess who’s providing his online marketing services? That’s right, no other than Frank himself, to the tune of $200,000 a pop.

Many marketers have seen the opportunities years ago and have developed training courses to help you tap into the offline market. So the opportunity definitely exists.

What Do You Have to Offer?

Many of the skills you take for granted as an online marketer are valuable to offline businesses. Some examples:

Blog/site installation

Have you set up half a dozen websites or WordPress blogs for your niche marketing? Then you have enough experience to do the same for somebody else.

Very few entrepreneurs know how to do this, or how to do it properly. And many pay thousands of dollars to website creation companies only to end up with static HTML sites that totally suck. Save them from these guys, please. Go build them a nice, traffic-generating, lead-building site and get paid for it at the same time.

Content creation

Do you love writing blog posts, articles, special reports and ebooks? Then you’re a special breed. The majority of people struggle with writing. They have emotional blocks that keep them from writing. And even if they could overcome those and actually write, it would take them forever.

If you’re a writing whiz, you can easily make money doing what you love. Offer to build a blog for a business and then earn recurring income by writing blog posts for them indefinitely.

Now are you seeing how profitable this can be?

Search engine optimization

If you’ve been reading Clicknewz regularly, you know enough to get a web page to rank in the Top 3 of Google – without resorting to expensive software, SEO services or blackhat tactics. This is another skill that traditional Internet companies do for thousands of dollars. Now it’s your turn to cash in on this market.

Social media marketing

Do you live, eat and breathe Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn? Then you know how to set up a profile, build a network, and attract traffic and leads from social networking sites. That’s another valuable skill you can offer to other businesses. (And all this time you thought you were only having fun!)

Email marketing

If you know the ins and outs of autoresponders, broadcast messages, lead generation and writing emails that get read and clicked through – boy, you are pure gold!

Email marketing can be very lucrative to a business and you’re the one to help them make it work. What’s great about providing this service is that it brings recurring income. For example, get clients to join Aweber through you affiliate link, or resell another email service. And then offer a 52-week package of autoresponder messages.

These are only a few of the Internet marketing services you can provide. There are so many more; just look at what you’re doing now in your online business: affiliate marketing, video marketing, conducting webinars, creating podcasts, running Google Adwords campaigns….

Who Would Be Interested in Hiring You For Online Freelance Work?

Now let’s take a look at who might be interested in your services. Here are a few markets who need and crave your online marketing expertise:

Brick & mortar businesses in your city/town

More and more offline businesses are realizing the power of the Internet to boost their profits. Small businesses in your community who are already spending advertising dollars are good prospects for your services.

Business to business companies

These companies have huge resources to hire service providers. They also need an effective online presence, as well as reliable lead generation strategies.

Non-profit organizations

Larger non-profits know you need to spend money in order to make money, so they’re willing to pay for service providers. They’re also increasingly aware of the power of the Internet, particularly social networks, to raise awareness about certain issues and generate funds for their activities.

Subject experts: authors, speakers and coaches

These are people who have written books and taught others. They’re well-known in their field… but probably not making a lot of money for it. They want to harness the Internet, possibly create their own digital products and Interactive Learning Environments to leverage their time and expertise. But they have neither the skills nor inclination to learn Internet marketing. That’s why you’re there for them.

Getting Started

Are you excited yet? If you’d like to give freelancing a try, then begin by answering these questions:

• What do I want to offer?
• Which online marketing activities do you enjoy doing and are good at?
• To whom?
• Who’s your Ideal Client, where is he/she and what online marketing services does he/she want?
• For how much?
• How much is your time and effort worth, and how much is your Ideal Client willing to pay?
• When?
• How much time do you want to allocate to freelancing and when will you start?

Answering these questions will help you create a rough plan for your freelancing biz, one you can refine as you go along. The next step will be to start promoting your services.

Let’s Hear From You!

I’d love to hear what you think about freelancing as an alternate income stream for Internet marketers. Is this an opportunity you’re willing to grab?

If you’ve been freelancing on the side while running an online biz, do share what the experience has been like for you.

Ralph asks: I am a newbie and want to get started in affiliate marketing – Do you think affiliate marketing is saturated?

It seems every guru is selling an affiliate marketing program or have their own membership site to teach someone how to do affiliate marketing.
Do you think it is still possible for a newbie like me to get started?

Hi Ralph,

Affiliate Marketing is a method of online marketing and can be used in any niche.
As an affiliate marketer, I promote products online from backyard swings to bobbleheads – and everything in between. Most often physical or tangible products.

It’s a common misconception to think that Affiliate Marketing is all about selling ebooks or info-products about Affiliate Marketing. But you actually have Affiliate Marketing as a niche, and then Affiliate Marketing as a method…

For more on that, see: What is Internet Marketing (wake-up call!)

Affiliate Marketing is very similar to commission-based sales jobs you may be familiar with in the offline world. You earn commission on every sale you make.

The commission can be earned on a digital OR physical product, a service, or even a free offer (often called CPA for Cost Per Action, or Pay Per Lead programs).

As an affiliate, your job is to either bring the product to the market – or bring the market to the merchant. The more value you can add to that process, the more successful you’ll be as an affiliate.

Back to your question, Affiliate Marketing as a niche is quite saturated. It’s covered by industry experts who have been successfully promoting affiliate programs for as long as 10 years and do a very good job of teaching it to others. Rosalind Gardner and her Super Affiliate Handbook is one example.

That said, if you have a unique angle or target a specific micro-niche, or perhaps have a flair for detailed case studies, you stand to do well in this niche over time. It’s best to have your own experience and ultimately your own product to compete in the Affiliate Marketing niche.

But Affiliate Marketing as a model – that’s wide open to anyone of any experience level that is willing to position themselves well within a specific niche market.

It’s much easier than product creation, offering a service, or drop shipping even. As an affiliate you don’t have to carry inventory, process payments or deal directly with customers. You simply focus on the marketing, and on serving your market.

If you look around, you’ll notice there are affiliate programs available for just about everything you can imagine. Everything from Wal-Mart to Netflix to Elvis memorabilia. People are shopping online now more than ever, so this is a great time to get into Affiliate Marketing!

Best,

@Kimmoy asks: What’s your opinion of NAMS vs Affiliate Summit?

As you know, I am involved with NAMS, which is the Niche Affiliate Marketing workshop hosted by David Perdew in Atlanta twice a year. The 3rd NAMS workshop takes place in January and I’ll be presenting again.

Not only is this one of the very few events where I’ve ever presented, it’s also one of my absolute favorite to attend. A good number of my Elite Members also attend, so it’s a great opportunity for us to hang out and work together in person for a change. As tight an online community as we are, meeting up in person really takes our group to a whole new level.

I’ll state the obvious and say that I am biased when it comes to the NAMS workshop, but do my best to answer your question in detail because there are definitely reasons to consider both of these events…

NAMS is probably one of the most hands-on, social industry events that I’ve personally attended. Seats are limited as there is a lot of hands-on work and open Q&A throughout the weekend. A session usually includes a how-to presentation, followed by a timed workshop to implement what is learned in that session.

At the last NAMS event, there were people who made their very first affiliate sales right there at the event. Those who didn’t have domains and hosting accounts yet were personally assisted in getting them set up right there on the spot.

We don’t just teach, we demonstrate and then help everyone implement.

There’s also the social networking aspect of NAMS that makes it stand apart from other industry events. All of the experts, speakers and presenters are available throughout the weekend. They are all very approachable, there to help and answer questions. The entire group, speakers and attendees alike, hang out after hours together for meals and conversation as well.

These 2 videos really say it all…

NAMS is always a great time, a small intimate group usually under 200 people total, a terrific (positive) atmosphere and tons of learning & networking.

I’m not sure if there are actually any seats left for the upcoming workshop in January 2010 but you can check at the event website:

http://www.nicheaffiliatemarketingsystems.com

If there are still seats remaining, you can use this coupon code to get $100 off your ticket: 100NAMS3

There’s also a pre-event online series of webinars you can attend, even if you can’t make it to the live event, so keep an eye on that site for those details as well.

The next Affiliate Summit event is Affiliate Summit West 2010, scheduled for January 17-19 in Las Vegas. This event is also hosted twice a year, and has been since 2003, with one on the East coast and one on the West each year.

I have not tested this coupon code for Affiliate Summit, but it is supposed to be good for 10% off registration: ASW10WEE. You can also do a search on Google for Affiliate Summit Coupon Codes – or ask around on Twitter.

I have never attended an Affiliate Summit event, but it has been on the top of my must-attend list for a couple of years now. I’m hoping to make their East coast event in 2010 – then I can give you a personal opinion.

They provide educational sessions by well known affiliate marketing experts, and also have a large number of affiliate merchants and vendors in attendance. This is one of the best events to attend if you want to network and schmooze with reps from some of the top affiliate networks in the industry.

One of the main reasons I want to attend an Affiliate Summit event is to meet Rosalind Gardner in person (finally!). Another objective would be to scout out new merchants and do some wheeling ‘n dealing with affiliate managers. It’s a Super Affiliate’s ideal event!

Plus I hear they have great swag

Obviously I can’t speak from personal experience on Affiliate Summit like I can the NAMS workshop, but which event you choose to attend (if not both) ultimately depends on your personal objective.

Best,

p.s. I am an affiliate for both NAMS and Affiliate Summit, and am involved with both the NAMS event and the pre-NAMS online training. I earn commission on ticket sales to both events, which I use towards my travel expenses. I also use NAMS commissions to cater a private reception for Elite Members that attend.

Using my referral links for events and products mentioned here on ClickNewz is a great way to give back to the community, and is what allows me to keep tutorials and how-to information free for everyone year after year.

While the referral links do not affect the price you pay (and you’ll often find exclusive coupon codes and discounts here) it really makes a difference in keeping ClickNewz running as a valuable resource to the IM community.

Thank you for your support!

The Niche Affiliate Marketing Workshop was an incredible experience. This was the 2nd “NAMS” event and it took place in Atlanta this past weekend, August 14-17.

The goal of this workshop is to teach Affiliate Marketing and specific marketing strategies in a hands-on workshop format, with a chance for everyone to complete tasks and see results.

It also gives you an opportunity to meet Affiliate Marketers that are doing this for a living, and talk with them one on one. There is a lot of open networking between instructors and attendees, which makes this a very unique event.

For me personally, it’s great to get that time to sit down with people – in person – and really help them get started with their own affiliate sites. I was able to share specific examples, marketing strategies that are working very well for me, and to brainstorm ideas on the micro-level.

I absolutely love teaching all of these things online through my forum, and through my weekly webinars, but spending the weekend working hands-on with everyone was absolutely incredible!

At NAMS, you don’t just learn how, you actually get to put it into practice. Chris Cobb was able to achieve a top 10 ranking on Google within 20 minutes, which was still holding strong the next day. A whole slew of content was written – from articles for Article Marketing to short reports to generate subscribers & income. And there were others there that made their very first affiliate sales over the weekend. It was very inspiring – and tons of fun.

We had a bit of a slow start on Friday, but it was a whole new set-up from the first NAMS Workshop and we were playing it by ear. Fortunately everyone was very open with their feedback, and all of the instructors pulled together and made necessary changes. Most of us completely re-wrote our presentations on the fly even, and went out of our way to make sure everyone got what they needed. The teamwork among the instructors was simply amazing.

I was really glad that everyone voiced their thoughts on Friday. We sat up late that evening discussing details and brainstorming solutions. To everyone that spoke to me personally, or that submitted the feedback form, thank you. It was that feedback that really brought things together, and had everyone super productive throughout the weekend – leaving with a big smile, looking forward to returning to the next NAMS Workshop in January. What a turn-around!

One of the things that I enjoyed most throughout the weekend, was all of the PROOF IN ACTION.

On Saturday I participated in a live recording where we discussed product creation. Our topic was “Create Your Own Product in 90 Minutes”, and our focus was on creating audio products. David Perdew led the session, and I got a seat on the panel alongside Cindy Dawson, Mark Hendricks and Jeff Herring. We didn’t know the topic until we were sitting on the panel, so there was absolutely no preparation on our part… and David recorded the session live. We literally created that product in under 90 minutes. Point made!

You can download the recording here.

During my presentation on Sunday afternoon, I shared specific strategies for leveraging your competition. I set the presentation up by allowing them to leverage me, and actually make affiliate sales while I was teaching.

I also really liked what Joe Marsh taught on getting to the front page of Google results – fast. And by the way, the keyword phrase that Chris Cobb used when she tried Joe’s method, was a competitive 2-word phrase with more than 5,000 searches per month. It was a solid strategy, and I think it really amazed everyone to see it in action when Chris applied it.

All of the instructors shared specific examples, showed exactly how it could be applied to various niches, and freely gave out ideas. What made it even more fun is that everyone there openly asked questions, got involved, and allowed us to help them even more by telling us exactly what they needed.

Of course, I can’t go without mentioning Michael Schultz, who we all called “Magic Myke” by the end of the weekend. Michael is only 16 years old, a total whiz kid – and was absolutely amazing as tech support throughout the workshop. Michael, thank you – I couldn’t have done my part without you, and you contributed so much to the event.

A special thanks to his super-cool mom Julie Anna as well, for trusting us with him for the weekend – you’re a gem! We really missed you at NAMS-2 and look forward to seeing you at the next workshop.

Michael has done a lot of work for me, including website design with matching business cards. For those of you that saw my card over the weekend, that was Michael’s work. You’ll find his site at http://www.sharppixeldesigns.com

Michael and Julie Anna are both Elite Members in my private brainstorming group. We are currently celebrating close to 3 years as a group. There are members on all skill levels, working in a wide variety of niches and business models, with a lot of products & profit coming out of the group. Amazing!

I also want to say a special thanks to Nicole Dean, Traci Knoppe, Suzanna Myers and the other Elite Members who volunteered their time & expertise during the workshop to help others get up to speed with their online business – thank you!

There were a couple dozen Elite Members from my group at the NAMS Workshop, so we got a chance to hang out after hours and really get to know each other on a whole new level.

I held a private reception for them on Saturday night where we did a bit of brainstorming over cheesecake & chocolate. That was also when I made a fun special announcement that everyone seemed particularly happy about…

The picture below is a group of us that stayed over and had lunch together on Monday following the workshop. Let’s see if I can get this right just one more time (ha!) – Left to right you see me, Mary, Andrea, Mike, Adela, Sheila, Lisa, Glenn and Loretta.

All said and done, this was one event that was well worth attending. Everyone left with something of value, speakers and attendees alike, and I think we all had a fabulous time. I am already looking forward to the 3rd NAMS Workshop, and expect we’ll have even more success stories by then – and even more people joining in to start or grow their affiliate business.

Best,

p.s. The next NAMS Workshop will be held in Jan/Feb 2010, and you can secure your ticket at the early-bird rate if you register early. You’ll also have an opportunity to download the recording of the NAMS-2 event. There is a support link at the bottom of that page if you’d like to inquire about that.

We’d love to see you there!

The Keyword Phrase How Important Is It to your niche marketing efforts?

The use of keywords has changed over the years and all the experts seem to have their own opinion, and the biggest question, or discussion that always comes up is : “Are key words and key word phrases really needed? Well if you are going to use article marketing as your marketing vehicle you will need to learn the basics of how keywords work. A niche market is a subset of the market on which a specific product is focusing on. Lets take for example we are looking for specific information about article marketing services, the most broad market would be marketing , then your niche would be article marketing . This information could also be under the broad marketing of Internet marketing but your niche would still be article marketing. My keyword list would be generated from the two words “article” and “Marketing” combined together. If you have not identified what your market and what products you are trying to sell within that market, do not waist your time writing articles yet. This step is a must do, that is why it is listed at #1.

#2 - Once you have identified what your niche market is you can now focus on creating your keyword phrase list. Enter the following link in your browser to go to Google’s Awords webpage and sign up for a free account if you can’t access the keyword tools directly.. .

Here’s a link to their tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

These free tools are very easy to use, lets use “marketing” for our example. Enter this phrase into the box that says Enter one keyword or phrase per line: You will notice that the results are way to broad if I were selling information related to crappie fishing. Now , type in the word “crappie fishing” You can see the results are much more refined. Fishing and crappie fishing are only examples, But I think you can see the power of this free tool to develop a list for any niche market. All I do now is down load this list to my pc and I ready to pick the keywords that I will have the best chance to get listed on the search engines with. You will need to pay attention to the two columns “Advertiser Competition” and “Approx Search Volume:” to prioritize and weed out keyword phrases that are too competitive or have a low search volume.

Pay very close attention to the green bar in the advertiser competition. Look at the box and if the color is green and extends more than half way across the box, delete it or put it at the bottom of your list. I personally have had the best luck concentrating on key word phrases that the green in the rectangle box is less than ½ and the search volume listed is over 1000.

Now you are ready to start writing your articles. {I recommend you just start writing what ever comes to your mind then refine your article, it’s a bit like brain storming and works for me so I can get all my ideas on paper. It has been my experience it is better to just start writing your topic and let your expertise flow into your words before you worry about inserting your key words or keyword phrases.} You need to focus on writing 300 to 600 words in length, it seems people will read your articles more often if they are within this word count range. Once you are finished writing, pick 2 or three of your key word phrases and read your article to see where they would fit best. Pay close attention to how many times your phrases are repeated, it is important that you space approximately 100 word counts between them. You don’t want to get penalized by the search engines for what is called keyword stuffing. Also , for example the keyword phrase article marketing automation or any variation that had the first two words the same then I could only be used them every 100 words. Count the number of words in your article and divide by 100, if I had a 300 word article I could use the keyword phrase say “home based business” three times spaced between a 100 word count. {You can mix up your keyword phrases so each word is not exactly the same but be careful. Of course if you get creative you could vary your words so they are not exact and get even more value out of this same phrase.}

Good luck on your article marketing endeavors ! remember keywords and keyword phrases are very important to identify your niche market when you write articles.
