			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In order to do Affiliate Marketing, you will need to include bonuses to the product you are selling and it is very important. I know there are many affiliate marketers out there who has got bonuses but still could not make a single sale. The reason behind this is because of the bonuses they create and am going to show you the secret in creating bonuses that people will buy from you.</p>
<p>There are 4 important things you must remember when creating bonuses, they are :</p>
<p>1. Perceived Value</p>
<p>2. Complementary</p>
<p>3. Urgency</p>
<p>4. Unique<span id="more-302"></span></p>
<p>To be able to sell the product you are promoting, you will need this 4 important things in your bonuses. Am going to go through each of them so you better write down the important words so that when you create bonuses you will remember what to do.</p>
<p>Perceived Value</p>
<p>Perceived value means that your bonus must be of a value, in other words it means that the bonus has got some benefit in it. If you have a gift or report to give away make sure you don&#8217;t call them a gift or a report, combine them together and call them a system, make sure that the gift and report are of the same niche to the product you are selling. You can also call them a package. By using the word system or package, the perceived value of the bonus you are giving away will increase.</p>
<p>Complementary</p>
<p>You see when you try to sell a product, most of the product does not come completely. For example when you try to sell an ebook that show people how to create product then you should create an ebook that teach people how to promote the product. By creating something that team up with the product you are selling is call complementary. This is very useful in creating bonus, so use it more often.</p>
<p>Urgency</p>
<p>Creating urgency to the bonus you are promoting is a very important and is one of the most powerful way of increasing and selling the product you are offering. There are 4 types of urgency which you can use to increase your sales they are :</p>
<p>* Limited Time Bonuses</p>
<p>* Limited Quantity Bonuses</p>
<p>* Partial Bonuses</p>
<p>* Buy This Later Bonuses</p>
<p>Limited time bonuses means that the bonuses you are giving away has a limited time which it will end once and for all when the time is up. By using this you will urge the customer to buy within the time or else the bonuses will be gone.</p>
<p>Limited quantity bonuses means that the bonuses you are giving away only got limited stocks. For example you can tell the customer that they have to buy now as the bonuses that you are giving away left 20 only. By doing this customer will have to think twice as they knew if they miss the chance it will be gone forever.</p>
<p>Partial bonuses means giving away half of the bonuses you are giving. This you will have to combine it with limited time. here&#8217;s how: After the end of introducing your bonuses put this &#8220;You will receive the full package in within 72 hours, after the time you will only received half of the package&#8221;. By doing this you will also urge the customer to buy within the time because if not they only only receive half it.</p>
<p>Buy this later bonuses means if they don&#8217;t buy the product you are promoting and the bonuses you are giving away with the product then after the limited time finished they are going to have to buy the product and the bonuses together. There are seldom people using this but if you have a bonuses that is value at high price you can use it in the buy this later method. By using this method you will also urge the customer to buy from you too.</p>
<p>Unique</p>
<p>This is the most difficult part, many affiliate marketers does not have unique products out there. In order to have a unique product you have to have a &#8220;product creator mindset&#8221;. By giving good value product sometime is not enough, you will need to give a little of yourself. By giving your customer your personal email or a phone number which they could contact you for a 30 min or more for consulting is a very unique method of giving a bonuses. Of cos you will think how could you consult so many people, that is why you will need to put limited for certain amount of people like &#8211; For the first 10 to 20 people who buy from you will get a 30 min consulting through phones which he/she can ask any question that he/she don&#8217;t know. Another method is to bundle all the bonuses and create a package or system, make sure the package and system is unique and has great value in them.</p>
<p>By using any of the above method, am sure you will earn your first dollar online in a very short time. Hope this post will also help you increase more sales .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have recently started an online business, you are no doubt facing the difficult task of trying to promote your website without sufficient capital to do much advertising. It is a catch-22; you need to spend a lot of money on advertising to launch an internet business so that you can make some money, but you need to make some money so that you actually have some dollars to spend on advertising.</p>
<p>To get money for advertising, you could take on a business partner who is willing to fund the company to get your marketing campaign going, or perhaps you could turn to venture capital to get started. However, unless you already have a lot of solid business contacts, raising money for an internet startup can be almost impossible.</p>
<p>So, what should you do? The solution to all your marketing problems might be an affiliate program. With an affiliate program, anyone who has a website can post an advertisement for your business on their website in the form of a banner or a text link. If someone clicks on that banner or text link and subsequently buys your product or service, you have to pay that affiliate a commission on the sale.<span id="more-288"></span></p>
<p>The reason why this is such an excellent marketing strategy is because an affiliate program costs you nothing. You do not have to pay to place your affiliate banner or text link on other websites because you are offering those other website owners a commission on every referral they make, but only if that referral produces a sale.</p>
<p>Not only does having an affiliate program give you an opportunity to make a tremendous amount of sales without spending money on advertising, but it also increases the number of inbound links to your website. The more links to your site, the higher your search engine ranking will be. So, a surge in your link popularity and an additional increase in sales resulting from an improved search engine ranking is a fabulous byproduct of having a popular affiliate program.</p>
<p>Now, you need to learn how to create an affiliate program and how to promote it. To create an affiliate program, you will either need to hire a web designer or programmer who has experience creating these sorts of programs, because they are not easy to set up. The job requires a lot of backend programming work, database creation, and payment tracking so that the referrals and sales that each affiliate produces can be tracked with a special code that is signed to each individual affiliate.</p>
<p>To promote your program, you will need to post ads for it on as many online affiliate directories as you can find. Some of these directories will charge you a small annual fee to be listed, others will allow you to list your program for free. There are literally hundreds or even thousands of different online directories where you can add your listing. The more listings you can create, the more affiliates you can potentially acquire.</p>
<p>I hope this information helps you get your online business off to a good start. The affiliates you recruit into your program are almost like your employees, they are doing your advertising work for you, and it does not cost you anything unless they make a sale. All those websites will be representing you, sort of like a commissioned salesperson. Just make sure you hire a competent web designer to do the programming work, because if there are any difficulties with tracking sales to your individual affiliates, you will have a huge mess on your hands.</p>
