Affiliate marketing is one of the ways to earn money online if you’re Internet-savvy and entrepreneurial in nature. There are so many products to market online and owners of these products are always looking to expand their network of affiliate marketers to increase their sales potential. One big marketplace for such merchants is ClickBank, which soon will be more beneficial to affiliates because of the ClickBank Bonus Domination system.

ClickBank is an online center for digital products like ebooks or software applications. There are over 10,000 products or services that are now actively being hosted by ClickBank. This huge range of products can be a daunting task to check one by one, but a budding (or even an experienced) affiliate marketer will find it extremely attractive to be able to have so many choices. Depending on the kind of market one has in mind or on his existing audience (if he owns a website or blog), any of these ClickBank products should be providing the opportunity for added income.

The trick is in picking the right product for the right audience at the right timing, with the right tools and marketing come-ons. Since there are many other affiliate marketers for the same products, each should have something special to offer that will add value to the product. This will make the affiliate link more enticing for the buyers. One way to do it is through giving away bonus items. In the coming days, affiliates will be able to offer bonuses to their buyers almost instantly through the ClickBank Bonus Domination program.

It took some time for this kind of program to become more efficient and effective. Until the ClickBank Bonus Domination concept came along, bonus claims were tedious for everyone involved in the transaction. Through this system, affiliates will be able to program their bonus giveaways in such a way that their buyers will be able to gain access to the freebies immediately. No more hassles of sending and receiving email confirmations first. Bonus on autopilot will definitely attract more buyers and will make things easier for the affiliates.

I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about social networking and wondered whether you should participate. Companies like Facebook, MySpace and YouTube, are talked about in endless marketing articles and hyped by the media. The phenomenon is huge. eMarketer predicts that ad spending on social networks will reach $2 billion by 2010.

But, as a small business owner, you need to maximize your time and effort. Is there something for your small business here? To make the most of this trend you need to consider the following:

1. How does social networking apply to a small business?

Social networking is a way of interacting with others online. Your communication doesn’t have to be located on a particular platform or site to be considered social networking. It’s a way to find others to interact with in a more direct way. It’s not like an ad that you put up on a search engine site. It has your voice and your specific style at the heart of it. Of course, there are specific social networking sites available, but you don’t have to sign up to one of them to do social networking. As the trend continues you will begin to see the features commonly seen on a social site integrated in most websites.

2. What if I don’t feel completely confident about trying social networking?

When you read about people making great connections and getting referrals from their social networks, it’s important to remember that networking is not usually a skill you are born with. Yes, there are those who can jump into any social situation and make it a success, but the majority of business people need to learn networking skills. And the truth is, they may never be fully comfortable. If you feel this way, start slowly. The bottom line for anyone who networks is to start with the idea that you want to meet and add value for others. When you meet like-minded individuals, you’ll see how easy it is to build a network. Everyone will have a focus outside themselves which makes for more creative exchanges.

3. What specific ways can I participate now?

If you don’t have a lot of time to devote to social networks, you don’t need to jump into anything too time consuming. A business network like LinkedIn might be a good fit to start. There you can network with others, answer questions and show off your expertise without spending hours.

Some other things you can do that don’t require a personal page on a networking site are:

-Distribute information to forums and message boards about your business

-Learn about competitors by reading other people’s exchanges

-Read blogs and ask questions that will draw others to answer

-Comment on a new book and ask the author a question

-Ask an expert who is not well known to be a guest blogger on your site to kick start their blogging

Anything you can do to start meeting people who care about the same topics you do, is a great way to get started without spending all your time chatting online.

The use of hashtags in Twitter messages is growing in popularity. Hashtags (i.e. the “#” sign) can be attached to a keyword and added to a tweet message so that it and all other messages with the same #keyword attached can be looked up and read together.

A sure sign that this method of logging tweets is having an impact on the Twitter membership is that there is now a website that is dedicated to it, Hashtags.org. The website lists all the assorted #tags that are currently in use on Twitter.

Twitter members can easily start to utilize hashtags in their own tweets. They are best used if you want to post a regular flow of notifications and have a way to look them all up in a single search. Simply remember include a hashtag in the body of the message.

What exactly do you use these tags for? One important function they serve is to keep a group informed about plans for events and so forth. Hashtags can also be used by Internet business owners who want to inform customers about products and services. Let your client base know about your tags, and you’ll provide them with a handy method of following your tweets.

So the next question this raises is, where is the best place to look them up? Twitter recently bought a search tool called Summize and has incorporated it into their site at: search.twitter.com/. That is now the best place to run your searches for keywords with or without hashes.

Here are some ways to get the best use out of your Twitter hashtags.

Tip 1. Follow Twitter.com/hashtags and they’ll automatically follow you back and start tracking your hashtags for you.

Tip 2. As you will want to use hash tags to promote your website posts, make sure the word or phrase you use is unique to you. Go to http://hashtags.org/ to see if you’re preferred hashtag is already being used for other posts.

Tip 3. 140 characters is not a lot to play around with so keep your hashtags as short as you can.

Tip 4. Google lists Twitter tweets, so it makes sense to use relevant keywords as your hashtags, particularly if your message features a link back to your internet site or web log.

In Conclusion, a note of caution. Use #hashtags with discretion when you tweet. Don’t alienate your readership by peppering every tweet with multiple hashes. Not everybody likes them and some individuals have developed a strong antipathy to them, while others who claim to hate them use them in their “I hate #hashtags” tweets!

In short, try to avoid using more than one hashtag per post. As long as you use them with circumspection, you will find hashtags a useful tool when networking with Twitter.

What is Twitter?  Well, on the Twitter login page it is introduced as: a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

The concept of Twitter at first glance appears to offer a very unique method of communicating with people for casual banter.  However, if you are marketing in any way on the Internet, this can be a powerful platform for providing information and for generating traffic.

When entering a message (known as a Tweet), the user is forced to communicate effectively, because the content is limited to 140 characters.  It does not take long to figure out how to concisely get your Tweet across.

If Twitter is new to you, perhaps you have not yet grasped its true potential.  It definitely has to be one of the best free traffic generators on the Internet.  Its simplicity and accessibility has made this tool extremely attractive to over two million users, and that figure seems to be growing exponentially.

Once you register to participate on Twitter (http://twitter.com), you will begin to follow other Twitterers.  But, the real key for you as a marketer is to generate your own followers. Thus, giving you the opportunity to get your message out quickly and easily.

As with any marketing headline, the goal of the Tweet is to capture the readers attention and lead them to where your moneymaker content is located (sales page, opt-in, article, etc).  Within your 140 characters you hopefully entice the reader and provide a short hyperlink.

Beyond the linked message area, the perks of this site are multifaceted.  The page begins with an automatic welcome that introduces you to the reader and invites them to become a follower.  Next, in a personal information area in the upper right corner of the page you can embed a link to a web page and provide a brief bio.

Of course, if you are going to encourage folks to follow you (or to retain followers), your Tweets need to offer value.  For the Internet marketer there can sometimes be a fine line between responsibly leading someone to more information or using a platform to blatantly spam an unwanted message.

Take the opportunity to promote your Twitter page whenever possible.  Place your Twitter link on your website, blog, ezine, article signature box, and so on.  For example, this is my link: http://twitter.com/davidschaefer, and I encourage you to become a follower.

Twitter.com includes a few more features not mentioned here – just visit the help section.  And, everyday creative entrepreneurs are offering new products and services to independently support and expand the use of Twitter.  The most important point is to take advantage of Twitters simplicity, effectiveness, and potential marketing reach.

Can you guess what the big buzz is lately for network marketers? Social Networking! I will explain why but let’s take a quick look at how it started. At first there was MySpace and Facebook, two huge social networking giants. Network Marketers have joined them in order to market their opportunities through these sites. It is a great way for that extra free exposure even though the members of the networks aren’t entirely targeted.

However, the value of marketing on Myspace and Facebook is quickly dropping. This is due to the massive release of new and niche focused social networks. The fact is that this year alone I have seen an increasing number of professional social networks geared towards network marketers launching and becoming increasingly popular. To name a few: TalkMoola.com, Zenzuu, Friendswin, Yuwie, and Wowzza. A couple older ones are DirectMatches, AdLandPro, and even Ryze. Honestly I wouldn’t even be the least bit surprised to see a few more start-up this year – that is how much it is catching on! It is also obvious why they do become so popular among network marketers, because there is no better advertising than targeted advertising. Exposing your business opportunity, system, or product to other network marketers is simply the most effective thing to do. Once a network marketer joins you they already have had their foot in the door and are somewhat knowledgeable about the industry and can greatly help your business. However if a random person from MySpace sees and joins your business they are not nearly as valuable to you because they most likely have no idea what they are doing or what network marketing is even about.

So when network marketers are invited with the ability to join a social network full of network marketers it is almost a no-brainer. Just to clarify why I said “almost”… It is because not all network marketers have caught on to the power of social networking yet or how to properly use social networking to explode their businesses. But the ability to further expose themselves and their business to other like-minded people is extremely valuable and profitable for most. The old way of network marketing is out, and I see the future holding tight to social marketing through professional social networks. Even so, many of these new business social networks are offering incentives for those who join. These range from revenue sharing, direct affiliate commissions, and various MLM pay plans. Through this supporting these new business social networks they will experience the increased awareness and exposure that they deserve.

All professional social networks, however, are not created equal. Here are a few things you need to look out for when deciding which ones you will utilize in exposing yourself and your opportunities.

1) Somewhat Targeted or Extremely Targeted?

When looking over your social networks find out if the people involved in the social network are the type of people who would be interested in what you have to offer, or are like-minded to you. This means that if you are a network marketer looking to provide an opportunity to other network marketers then the people involved in the social network should be strictly network marketers. Does the social network you are considering include members looking for a date or love? If the social network includes this or niches totally unrelated to you then this weakens the potential of that network for you. However, if the social network is only network marketers or business opportunity seekers then it is an incredible source for you.

2) Are there limitations on contacting your friends in bulk?

Increasing your friends or contact list on social networks is the one major thing you must do in order to maximize your exposure and reach. This means accepting friend invitations from those within the social network and also seeking out other like-minded to add to your network of friends. The larger your list of friends the more active you will appear to be and the more people will take heart to what you have to say. It also means more people who you can send messages to through the social network. Some social networks limit the amount of people you are able to send a message to at once. Let’s say you have 200 friends but you are limited to sending to only 30 people per message and you can only send one bulk message per day. Well this is a very negative restriction and even more so if you have a much larger network of friends. On the other hand, some social networks will let you add unlimited friends and you can send them a bulletin or message to all your friends at once anytime with ease. This is what you should be looking for because whether you have 100 friends, 1,000 or even 10,000 you can send them all a message just as easily as if you were sending it to one. This means potentially huge exposure for you. If you want you can even consider it like an instant contact list of targeted prospects! However, I do warn about sending too much unwanted messages to your friends, you should try to connect with them and send them as much quality information as you can instead and then lightly introduce what you have to offer. If you consistently send what they would consider as spam messages they will just block you or remove you from their friends’ network, so using the social network properly is important.

3) Are the members free, paid, or both?

Another factor is the true quality of the member base. If the membership is mostly free then they are less likely to be purchase ready. However, if the membership is all paid and everyone is used to paying to be a part of the social network then these are the highest quality members you can get in touch with because they will have the money to invest in working with you. Mixed is fine though as this factor is not as important as the first two.

4) How are the other site incentives?

This is the least important but should still be mentioned. Other incentives could be the pay plan such as revenue sharing, affiliate commissions, or some type of matrix structure. It could also be other services provided with your cost of the membership such as training, tools, or other bonuses. Keep in mind, even if they do not offer great incentives but the rest of the above factors are positive I would still be excited to join.

Right now there is not a huge selection of targeted professional social networks but I am positive that the future will hold true for more and more becoming available. Personally I like to take advantage and join any social network because that is extra exposure for me, and any extra exposure is always a good thing. However when choosing to be most active in select networks you may want to consider the above factors. I have created many strong relationships, learned a lot, taught a lot, and profited a lot from those relationships within social networks. You should take at least some advatange of every professional social network available, even if it is just setting up a profile to gain some extra exposure. If they are a niche social network that have like-minded inviduals similar to yourself then you should definitely be more open to actively using that network. The benefits can be enormous.
