Internet Marketing isn’t hard. A lot of people have a hard time getting started though. One reason is that they buy a couple of IM products that teach you to set yourself up as an expert in a niche, and try to sell products in that niche.

The problem is most people just starting are interested in the Internet marketing niche, which was why that bought the product in the first place.

With so many people trying to become an authority in internet marketing especially those that are just getting started it easy to see why it’s a crowded market place.

It makes it even more confusing for someone trying to learn more about it, because how do you know you are getting real information from someone that has actually used it and been successful with it, or are you just getting re-hashed information that someone heard about maybe working, from a friend of a friend?

Unfortunately many people are not able to tell until after a purchase is made.

There is a better way to do it though. Find a different niche. Or even a sub-niche within the IM industry.

Look for something that is not over saturated, that is profitable, and market to that niche.

Once you get your feet wet and you have had some success marketing to your other niches, take what you have learned, put your own twist on it and then try entering the IM arena.

The only problem with the above plan is finding those profitable other niches. It takes a lot of research; you have to find good keywords. A topic that is heavily searched but not very marketed.

This in itself could be a fulltime job for someone.

My earlier post may have caught you a bit off guard. I mean here I am a program owner, but I am telling you not to promote programs directly.

At first glance that may seem strange. Of course as a program owner I love it when people promote my sites. I enjoy sending out commission payments, and I get great joy when I get an email that is talking about me or one of my products or services.

So why would I say not to promote your referral link to my business?

It’s simple, the more successful you are the more business you can send me. Instead of promoting my business you should be promoting yourself. Build your own list and start building a relationship with that list.

Then if you like my products or services tell your list about it. You will get better results and I will end up sending you a bigger commission check.

With the same amount of traffic exchange credits that it would take you to get one sign up in a site that has been around for three years you could get two, three or maybe even more opt-ins to your list.

You could then sell things to that list several more times.

For arguments sake lets say it takes 1,000 credits. The average price for 1,000 hits is $10, so we will say it takes $10 to get one person into what ever program it is your promoting. Now if that that program is paying you $10 per sign up you just broke even.

But if you were to use those 1,000 credits and get just three opt-ins to your list. You could promote your program a little more, give more detail about it and maybe convert two of those members into paying customers. So now you have already doubled what you could have earned, and have gotten 100% increase in profits.

Now you also have these members on your list and you can recommend other products and services to them. How much more can you make?

Think about this for a second before you copy and paste your next affiliate link into your favorite TE, Safelist or any other promotion method you may use.

If you use traffic exchanges you are probably no stranger to using a site rotator. Its a great way of controling your sites on all of the traffic exchanges you use.

Now you can have a rotoator for your banners. Check out the video below to see how you could use Banner Keyrings to save you time.

Pretty cool huh? Be sure to get your own banner keyring.
