Affiliate Summit East 2010 Challenge – Just Do It

by Missy Ward

I've always been a power-walker. You know, those crazy-looking people that look like their bodies are undergoing spasms as they scurry, más rápido, down your neighborhood streets. Pink Ribbon Runner

So, a year ago, I made a halfhearted attempt at giving running a whirl. It was my goal to eventually run in a 5k Race for the Cure. What I found was that training for a run was a lot more time-consuming than I had ever imagined and without having that extra time available to me in order to be consistent, there was just no way that I was going to be able to reach my goal.

That was then. This is now.

As part of my post-Affiliate-Summit-West-2010 “Get Healthy” regime, I started running again. So far, it's helped reduce the stress of giving up a bad habit, has given me a little more stamina and has definitely helped improve my sleep.

So when my business partner Shawn came up with the idea create a running challenge for charity this weekend, I couldn't have been more excited.

Here's the deal:

Affiliate Summit has created a Nike+ Challenge where we will donate $1 to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade for each mile run (up to $5,000).

by Missy Ward

Jim Kukral, has one of the most creative and business-savvy minds around. His marketing knowledge never ceases to amaze me and I am continuously inspired by him.

For the last 12+ years, Jim's been busy teaching both small companies and businesses like Ernst & Young, Fedex, Sherwin Williams and more, how to maximize their online success and increase their profits.

Now, through TheBizWebCoach.com, he is providing access to a group coaching program in which his members can learn how to successfully use social media, create an online strategy to drive more leads and sales and get specific business-building action items to build their business.

What business owner wouldn't want that?

Being the “Pay-it-Forward-Kinda-Girl” that I am, I asked Jim if he would provide me with a few seats in his group coaching program to give away to some lucky readers of MissyWard.com. To my delight, Jim has provided me with 10 free year-long individual memberships (a $324 value each) to give away to business owners that want to be motivated and educated about the things they need to do to make their online business thrive. Details of the group coaching program can be found here.

So, for the next two weeks, I will give away 5 memberships each week. Here's what you have to do to be eligible to win one:

1) You have to be prepared to LEARN. If you're only semi-interested, don't enter the contest. Let someone else who really wants a seat have a better chance of getting it.

Secret World Outside PPC.

Yes, I know most of the top affiliate marketings and those super affiliates are promoting their affiliate programs via PPC. But tell you what, PPC is not the only thing you should do to make money via affiliate program. You have to look at the world outside search engines for a super success.

Here are few ways you can do the stuffs :

– Promote your site via youtube, metacafe etc via video marketing. These will bring some long term traffic.

– Search engine optimization – yes, few marketers go the other way (SEO) instead of paying for PPC campagins. SEO could be costly initially but it will also bring long term traffic. while on PPC, if you stop paying, your campaign ends.

– Facebook, Myspace etc – Teenagers and some other people visit social networking sites more often than search engines. Target these audience too.

– Keep writing reguarly some unique articles on your blog. keep promoting the product – not only on one blog, but on other sites/blog too. Point all the sites to your main landing page.

– Link baiting – all knows about this.

– Participate in forums, Blogs and related communities and plug your site wherever you get the chance.. (but within rules 😀 )

– Email marketing – yes this is also a great way to market your landing page/campagins. Build a big email list or you can buy some. Check aweber. This is also a long term promotion method.

– Free stuffs – give some free stuffs – softwares, ebooks, etc. Don't forget to plug your site.

Try them out… don't rely totally on PPC or you will not earn much Or you might even lose. Though this will not bring great $$ initially, but they will bring small revenue for a long long time. 😉

While I don't necessarily agree with all of these marketing strategies, the post was offered up some valuable suggestions.

Congratulations Kailash. Please contact me at missyward /at/ gmail /dot/com, so that I may forward your information over to the folks at MarketLeverage.

Follow @MarketLeverage on Twitter for the big announcement of the Grand Prize winner on January 5th.
