I got involved in internet marketing about 2 years ago by signing up for a “cookie cutter” website that came with 30 days of free training. Although I knew that this was a legitimate online business I found that for someone with no knowledge of internet marketing I was literally drowning and needed considerable help. This was when I found The Affiliate Power Group (APG)

This is an online coaching group aimed at both beginners and more experienced online business website owners who need help getting more traffic and sales.

If you are considering joining the Affiliate Power Group then I am sure that you would like to find out more about it before you actually sign up as a member. Here is some information into what you can expect to get for your money so that you can decide whether it is the right thing for you.

This is what the Members of the Affiliate Power Group receive and it applies to every single member:

1.  Five experienced and successful internet marketing coaches in a private forum.
2.  A twelve week traffic action plan.
3.  A learning center that is filled with videos and training guides on internet marketing.
4.  A download area that contains hundreds of MRR and PLR articles and e-books for you on a variety of home business and internet marketing niche topics.
5.  Help to build a website.
6.  Ready made niche affiliate WordPress blogs at big discounts.
7.  A free WordPress install (non trial members only)
8.  Ten new MRR/PLR e-books every month on home business, internet marketing and niche topics.
9.  One hundred or more new PLR articles every single month.

Maybe now you are wondering what the Private Forum is like:

The first thing that you will probably notice when you visit the forum is just how friendly it is. There are some forums that will either shoot you down or ignore you when you ask a question that has already been answered on the forum. This is not the sort of treatment you will get with the APG. With this group you will find that there is no such thing as a stupid question and both the staff and the members are a friendly community who are always ready and willing to help. It is the type of community where everyone helps each other.

The forum is made up of a few different sections including a section on generating traffic, search engine optimization a general marketing section and the most important of all is the 1 – 1 coaching section where you will not only get an in-depth critique of your website and marketing techniques but you will also get constructive suggestions on how you can improve.

The Training and Action Plan is covered by numerous topics both in the step by step action plans and in the video training and all of them are aimed at helping you to become a successful online business marketer in whatever niche you have chosen.

Who is the Affiliate Power Group not right for and what is not included?

Training is not included on product creation by the APG, so if you are looking to create a product of your own you will discover that it is not covered in the training. If however you already have a product and need help with traffic, conversion or techie stuff then in all probability you will find the coaching very useful.

Will the Affiliate Power Group be right for me?

If you are totally new to online business and don’t really know how to get started then the Affiliate Power Group is a good choice to get you going on the right track for success, with your own website and a marketing plan.

On the other hand if you already have a website of your own but need technical help or more traffic and sales then the APG will be very beneficial from both the action plan and learning center and also from the 1 – 1 coaching section in the forum.

What does it Cost?

You can get a 10 day trial for just $1 and then $39.95 per month. If you feel that you would like to be a member for more than a few months you can save money by opting for a quarterly price of $109.95 or an annual price of $297. The annual price will save you 38%.

I joined 2 years ago when I first started my online business with the intention of remaining for one year and I am so happy with the help I have received that I am still a member with no intention of leaving.-

For anyone who has legitimate online businesses, the need to drive targeted traffic to your online income opportunities websites is critical. There are several different methods that can be used to generate traffic and here are just some of the more popular methods being used.

1. Search engines and online directories are the main sources used by people looking for information online. By submitting your website to the directories and search engines you are gaining the necessary exposure that is vital to the success of your legitimate online businesses. Without this exposure it does not matter how pretty your website is, nobody will know that it is there!

2.  Pay-Per-Click (PPC) is another good method of advertising your online income opportunities and will bring traffic to your website quickly, but just a work of warning – if you do not understand how it works then first get some training or information. This is easily found by looking in search engines such as Google. PPC is not a free resource and without the knowledge you can get easily burned.

3.  Blogging is a great way to start building an email list of subscribers and this is essential to the success of any online business. I am sure that if you have been online even for just a short time you will have heard the saying “the money is in the list” and this is true. By starting a blog and posting valuable information on a regular basis more people will want to return to your blog and by adding an optin form on your blog where visitors can leave their name and email address your list will grow.

4.  Article marketing is one of the best methods of advertising your legitimate online businesses and will brand you and help you to become known as an expert in your field. Write articles and publish them in various article directories and you will build backlinks to your websites and generate targeted traffic. The great thing with article marketing is that the articles you publish will be on the internet for many years and will continue to bring you business long after you have forgotten you even wrote them.

5.  Advertise in ezines with banner ads that are directed towards your target audience and ensure that these adverts are run at least three times. People rarely buy from any ad they see for the first time. It is a know fact that it takes anything up to seven times of seeing something before people actually buy it, so keep this in mind when paying for any advertising and make sure that your budget will allow more than one view if you want to succeed with it.

6.  Advertise on other business websites. Do some research and ensure that these are legitimate online businesses and then approach the webmaster about either swapping an ad with them or offering them a link on your website in exchange for the ad.  Many of these webmasters will be willing to do this either in exchange for one of their adverts appearing on your website or for a fee.

As an affiliate marketer with your own online business your main task is to drive huge amounts of targeted traffic to your website. In this article we will discuss various ways to increase your traffic, thus improving your chances of increasing your online income.            

E-mail campaigns

You can use e-mail campaigns to drive traffic. By using carefully planned e-mails and providing the full content in the e-mail messages, or by giving only a portion of the content and then the balance on your affiliate business website. Always include a linked e-mail signature.

Writing Articles

Informative and how-to articles, especially well-written ones, are proven traffic baits for affiliate marketing sites.  Include links to similar or additional information within the content body that can only be read from your site and provide additional links on your signature.

Newsletters

People love information, especially about subjects they are curious about or are involved in – which explains why targeted methods to drive traffic to affiliate marketing sites work best.

Offer free e-newsletter subscriptions, making sure that links bring recipients to your site.  Use a separate landing page to handle the subscription process for your visitors’ convenience.

Blogs

Other than your affiliate marketing site, use a blog to get in touch with prospective customers and members.  Blogs are considerably more personal and lighter in tone than most online affiliate business sites and they can be a great source of information, news, advice and tips from you to your prospects.  Include a link from your blog to your affiliate marketing site.

Discussion forums and boards

By leaving useful and thought-provoking comments on discussion boards and forums, you encourage other members to react and send you a reply.  You’ll be able to build a networking relationship from here.  Make sure to sign with a link back to your affiliate marketing site.

Guest blogging

You could drive traffic from another person’s blog to yours by writing articles as a guest on someone else’s blog (with their permission). In this way you can benefit from their captured traffic. Some of those readers will click on the link back to your site if your article is interesting enough.

Allow bookmarks on your web pages

If you have good website content, you can drive traffic to your affiliate marketing site by allowing your readers to bookmark certain pages.  This will help promote those pages and your website to other people who might be interested in the same subjects.

Social bookmarking sites

These sites are a rich source of targeted traffic that you can drive to your online business
affiliate marketing site.  Your market demographics are also easier to define so sending out invitations to potential leads and members is a lot easier.

Freebies!

There’s nothing like a nice gift to drive targeted traffic to your online business website.  It’s easy to implement and can be relatively cheap.  Furthermore, you offer these visitors an incentive to sign up for whatever campaign it is you’re promoting.
