World Internet Summit and WIS Hidden Bonuses November 23, 2006
Posted by Andrew Wee in : Internet Marketing events , 4 commentsIt’s 5:55am as I’m writing this.
I’m quite psyched about World Internet Summit Singapore, having secured my place for the event yesterday evening.
It’s quite a stellar lineup and I’m particularly looking forward to getting a chance to catch Willie Crawford, Rick Raddatz and Matt Bacak in action.
The one thing I’m looking forward to the most though is Jo Han and Ewen’s World Internet Summit challenge.
How long does product creation, sales copy generation and a product launch take?
A week? 2 weeks? A month?
Jo Han and Ewen will do all this in 2 hours.
I got some insider info… (more…)

Building Your Army of Affiliates November 22, 2006
Posted by Andrew Wee in : affiliate marketing , 4 commentsI’ve about four months experience in affiliate marketing and during that time I’ve seen a number of different approaches to affiliate marketing.
I’ve come to the conclusion that unless you are very strong in promoting your own product, you will need to rely on your affiliates. Which is commonsensical.
But though it seems like you are relying on your affiliate, you also play a big part in their success, and by extension your own success.
Affiliates provide the ultimate leverage for any product creator.
You have an army of motivated individuals to promote your product or service.
You only pay them upon a successful transaction.
They work for you round-the-clock (especially if they’re scattered around the United States, Europe and Asia).
If you have the system running well, you’ll have a couple of sales every couple of hours.
Sadly though, I’ve seen many products crash and burn too. (more…)

Affiliate Marketing Product Selection November 21, 2006
Posted by Andrew Wee in : affiliate marketing , 3 commentsAs an affiliate marketer, you would have taken effort to build up and nurture your list.
No gardener would lovingly spend time growing his garden and suddenly indiscriminately drown his garden with bucketloads of water and fertilizer. The end result is that the plants will either drown in water, or be presented with so much fertilizer (a good thing) that it turns toxic.
However, this is often the issue with newer affiliate marketers.
They’ve built up a contact list over time, and perhaps with a judicious PPC (pay per click) budget.
And once they’ve built it to a decent size, they start drowning the list with every single affiliate product in their niche area. (more…)

Building the “Me” Internet Marketing Brand
Posted by Andrew Wee in : Internet Marketing Branding , 3 commentsSomething Super Affiliate Ewen Chia said to me about a month ago has stuck with me. (If you missed the post, it’s at Ewen Chia and building the ‘Me’ brand)
Super Affiliate Ewen Chia and Andrew Wee
This was during the Unstoppable Traffic workshop.In response to a fellow attendee, Gary Fu’s, question about running a PPC campaign for an affiliate marketing product, Ewen asked, “Why are you advertising for the product? You should be building up the “me” brand”.
All aspiring affiliate marketers should take heed from the Super Affiliate himself.
For your longterm success, you’d want to brand yourself.
Do whatever it takes to build your personal credibility and reputation.

List Building and List Raiding for Profit (and Fun) November 20, 2006
Posted by Andrew Wee in : list building , 1 comment so farSome Internet Markters harbor a sneaking suspicion that their list which they’ve studiously built up is being raided if they send out an offer like Mike Filsamie’s Death of Internet Marketing.
Somehow, they fear they might ’sell out their list for a measly $1.
(And some even fear they might not receive that $1).
One thing I’ve learned from sales is if you don’t provide your prospect with a list of options available (even if it’s from a competitor) you risk losing the sale, and even worst the customer.
I agree that you’d want to protect your list, especially if you’ve spent previous PPC dollars building it up.
But consider this too. If you treat your list like a caged bird, your list members will flee the first chance they have. (more…)

Battle and Beat Up Other Blogs and Build Traffic November 19, 2006
Posted by Andrew Wee in : traffic generation , add a commentI confess to having a latent violent streak in me.
That’s why you sometimes see me including phrases like ‘Kill the Competition’, ‘Slaughter the other Affiliates’ and ‘See their marketing campaigns crash and burn’.
I understand that Type A personalities have this particular drive to dominate and crush all competitors.
To quote Star Trek’s Borg Collective: “Resistance is Futile”.
I guess that’s why Blog Directory/Community Blog Explosion has their Battle of the Blogs section.
The rules are simple:
- Members can set up a new challenge then waits until another BlogExplosion member accepts their challenge. Members can wager anywhere from 25-200 credits on a challenge
- Once a challenge has been accepted 15 other members vote for both blogs. The person with the most votes wins the challenge and gets 70% of the total credits wagered. The 15 members who have voted on who is the best blog splits the remaining 30% of the total credits wagered. Spend some time on each blog and vote for the best blog!
So the process of going through the Battle ensures you have at least 15 uniques landing on your page for each challenge you participate in.
That potentially means you have 15 new opt-ins or prospects, depending on how you structure the blog. (more…)
