Tactics For Affiliate Marketing:The Pay-Per-Click Method

Tactics For Affiliate Marketing:The Pay-Per-Click Method

by Mike Mullins

Ever since the evolution of internet, there have been millions of people who have earned lots over different ways of marketing themselves. Many business owners trying to sell their products have sought the help of the internet because it's easier to reach any customer all around the world within minutes.

You may wonder how affiliate marketing works. It's quite simple. The affiliate promotes a merchants product over the internet by having their website.

In this website, you will find a few links that will direct any visitor who clicks on it to the merchant. The usual way of being compensated is when a visitor clicks on the link. The more customers a merchant will have, the more money an affiliate will receive.

There are different ways an affiliate is compensated for the marketing efforts they provide. One of the most famously used types of compensation method is affiliate marketing pay per click. In addition, affiliates are paid by two other methods that include the pay per lead and pay per sale.

Why do you think the affiliate marketing pay per click method is so famous among affiliates? This is because the compensation for an affiliate is confirmed the moment a visitor clicks on the link.

In other words, the affiliate's website will carry a few advertisements and links that will direct a visitor to the merchant who has the product on offer. So the moment the visitor clicks on the link, the affiliate can be sure of getting paid.

Some advertisers tend to prefer the pay per sale or pay per lead method instead of the affiliate marketing pay per click method. Why do you think this is the case? Studies and recent surveys show that some publishers carry out fraudulent acts with regard to affiliate marketing pay per click method in order to make quick money.

The affiliate marketing pay per click method lets the affiliate earn lots in a short period of time.

The main drawback of some websites that use the affiliate marketing pay per click method is that there are search engines that regard these sites as spam. Even though the site is a legitimate one, these search engines tend to regard it as spam, thus disabling the chance for customers to go through it. - 20490

Legitimate Network Marketing Business

Legitimate Network Marketing Business

by Farid Beck

Network marketing is a brutally unforgiving business if you do not do your own due diligence. In essence, choosing the right network marketing company is similar to choosing the right boyfriend or girlfriend. Inevitably, bad choices will affect your finances and career in ways that you will never imagine when you fall in love for the first time (yes, it applies to companies you fall in love with as well!)

How does one differentiate between a legitimate network marketing company compared one that is not?. Most of the time, there are many grey areas and some companies stand on that thin line where it sounds legal but is in fact unethical!

Here are a few ways to differentiate between a good MLM opportunity and a bad one:

Always do a thorough check on the background of the business. Do they have a good management team? Do the people in the company move from one business to another? You must be very careful with this because if they uproot and move to another company or project, you will lose thousands of downlines overnight!

Are the products legitimate? A litmus test of a solid product is one that sells very, very well even at its retail price. Most companies will try and force an unrealistic mark up on their products in order to pay out down to many levels in the organization but in actual fact, the product is only consumed by the people who are doing the business and are useless competitively speaking when sold outside the network.

Would you still be consuming the products when the company shuts down or would you auction whatever is left off on eBay at a very low price? Never fall for the trap thinking that the product is very good just because you are doing the business.

Do they require you to purchase a lot of inventory? Do they require your downlines to get lots of stock before anyone can earn any money? Beware of these hit-and-run companies because they will be gone when the market hits saturation.

Is your upline member a network marketing junkie who treats the company as a fad rather than a long term business? It is better to join a team that is here to stay compared to one that moves from fad to fad. You will never know when your current upline might leave and will even pinch your downlines along to his or her new business so beware of whom you are allying yourself with.

As you will be spending a lot of time and money with the company, these are all important areas to consider. So make sure you do your due diligence! - 20490

MXI Corp Scam or Viable Business - Xocai Healthy Chocolate

by Jeanett Skoorb

MXI Corporation is based out of Nevada and has introduced new product lines called Xocai. Xocai manufactures a number of chocolate health food varieties based on unrefined Cacao, Acai berries and various other health related ingredients. Research has shown that his specialty chocolate contains elevated amounts of antioxidants which are known to be beneficial. MXI opted out of retail channels and utilizes Multi-level Marketing (MLM), also known as Network Marketing, to distribute their chocolate. In marketing this chocolate a new category has entered the marketplace referred to as Healthy Chocolate.

Historically chocolate is a very popular product. With 2006 sales estimated at close to $16 billion through all channels, chocolate is forecast to grow to #18 billion by 2011, according to US market forecasts for chocolate. When looking at the average personal consumption worldwide, the business opportunity speaks for itself.

Health products and relationship marketing present a viable model for opportunity seekers.

Business professionals have recognized Xocai and MXI distributorships for significant income opportunities. Sometimes referred to as the Xocai membership, the fee is nominal. Active distributorship entitles individuals to create one or many income streams.

Primary incomes occur from buying Xocai products at wholesale prices and selling retail prices. The distributor retains the difference as profit. Retail prices are determined by the distributor. The next primary income comes from introducing the Xocai business and developing a team of associate distributors. This income is based on a predetermined percentage of each new associates product volume and returned in the form of a weekly check.

The Xocai MLM business plan has been created using a binary compensation strategy. This plan reaches a maximum disbursement of fifty percent of chocolate sales volume. Commissions earned are built on distributed volume of the lowest volume channel.

Hypothetically, a high producing group has thirty thousand in monthly volume, and a lower group has twenty thousand in monthly volume, the compensation check is based on the lower twenty thousand channel volume. The method proceeds as follows. The lower is subtracted from the higher and the remainder moves forward and will remain until the following week. Additionally, a Quick Check of either fifty or one hundred and fifty dollars is paid as an additional bonus for new group members. The bonus amount is determined if a startup package is purchased by a new Xocai distributor.

Respected economists recommend starting and growing network marketing businesses like Xocai Healthy Chocolate. Industry analysts have stated that Xocai is capitalizing on a unique market segment. Business lecturers suggest that telephone advertising, automated Internet mail, direct sale and group training related presentations be employed for successful start up and growth.
