As you probably know the advantages of Internet Marketing reach many- we name the three main ones: quick, specific tracking & cheap. Moreover, with global recession, traditional media advertising budgets, such as TV, print and outdoor are experiencing the biggest cost cuts and online marketing is the only medium seeing a rise.

Here I would like to sum up my top 3 trends.

Trend # 1: Mobile Marketing

Mobile penetration is still growing and especially in Asia. In India for example per month over 8 million users are being added. Mobile phones are a constant companion today and you are almost certain that the user will read the advertisement. But if you/your company want to use this marketing medium: How to market it to Call to Action?

Do you want to know about market research of mobile marketing, Nielsen market reports reach worldwide trends.

Trend #1 :Affiliate Marketing & Search Engine Marketing (SEM):

In a lot of countries (especially India, China) the search engine marketing (or SEM) industry is likely to double in size within next couple of years, with growing internet users and the expanding use of internet marketing techniques. How can you become Nr.1 in Organic Search and/or effective in Paid Search?

To get your website ready fast but still tailor made so it is still unique, I can recommend you: SEO optimized software or SEO Press Formula. Super Affiliate Brian Johnson explains you in 29 Videos, starting from ‘Naming Your Site for Maximum Google Traffic’ to the more detailed ‘Working with CSS’ how to optimize further. Another trend is article marketing

g. I will discuss later on more about rewriting and spinning of articles.

I already want you to recommend an article automation software which is one of the best in the market

Trend # 3: Viral Marketing & Social Media Marketing

It is almost impossible to stay ahead of the curve on new trends such as blogs, Facebook, widget marketing, social networking, podcasting, and many others that are profoundly affecting the business landscape. So how to make Optimal use of social media? And how to invent, market and measure campaigns?

Or How to keep costs down & results high in social media programmes? How can you measure ROI for Social Media and what are the latest key metrics? Actually on all these questions you can find an answer on the web (just Google J) but sometimes it is just more useful to benchmark with your peers ‘live’.

For example in Asia on Internet Business Conference on the 8^th and 9^th of October in Kuala Lumpur.

To get an improved Search Engine Ranking follow these steps:

1. Start with Keyword research

Search for a profitable niche. This process is actually one of the main important things. You can check your keywords on Google Keywords for the amounts and also to get some ideas (related keywords) that people search for. Keep in mind that if we are talking about a niche, that is usually a really specific item and that is in general easier to start with. Thus, the keywords should therefore not be TOO high in volume. For example Internet Business is quite general. Internet Business Information, ideas or Tools are already more specific etc.

Keyword research is also very useful tool to get an improved search engine ranking because sometimes people are using a synonym, or more words like Free or Best or Used together with it and these keywords are giving thus lots of information. To check on this matter, check also for more Free SEO Tools.

2. Register the right domain and Use WordPress

To start your website, use WordPress hosting. If you have serious plans of making (lots) of money with this new website, do not Read the rest of this entry

Becoming an affiliate of a given merchant, means placing that business’s advertisements/links on your site, and you’ll receive a commission for every paying customer you refer to the merchant’s site. Easy as that.

But is it as easy as that? Or is it a profession on his own? And what can you do to learn and manage this way of marketing on the right way?

First of all: free eBooks all over! Here counts as well, there are really good ones and there are ones who are really into making money (for them) fast and not saying anything specifically. To give you more info about a good one, here is one. You can download this affmasters-course-free-ebook which gives a very clear overview of all the basics of what a affiliate marketer needs to know. For another good one: you can have a look at netmarketingcourse with his 7-days Payload profits (for advanced as well) on the right top with subscription.

One tip for the ‘ newbies‘: I did open a special email account for getting to know more of these affiliate teachers because some really email/spam you too much…..and sometimes with no interesting info at all (will come to that another time..).

Next, we have a look at the paid Affiliate Marketing Training programs.

What extras can they offer you?

Affiliate marketing blueprint : They give a 12 weeks plan and it goes through a weekly step by step guide (with downloadable pdf ‘s and videos) through the process of monetizing your site. It includes in-depth material and tips which can make the difference between ok-site and good earning site.

One of the great things I like is that they offer (as a premium member which is around 37 US dollar per month, not cheap but worthwhile for one month to check it out) is a really interactive forum with a lot of content on it where you can surf on, for all your questions. So if you are not the type of questioning yourself (like me) you just use the search tool to look at the other discussions.

My conclusion would be that affiliate marketing is so specific that any training program in the beginning is helping. But in general I believe (and this is of course logical as well) that paid affiliate marketing training programs do have:

1. better content and tips : more in-depth with more secrets revealed
2. better support and feedback : although some will not need it, it can be good to let an expert have a look at your site and questions.
3. better sources and discounts for using new (automation) tools etc. So at the end it will definitely save you time and make you more money and business.
