The Life You Could Be Living

Welcome to the second edition of Home Business Lifestyle Newsletter – the monthly newsletter aimed at budding home - based entrepreneurs and business owners like you, who aspire for more from life than the stresses and strains of the daily 9-5 grind.

Despite what society has drummed into you, it is possible.

The Life You Could Be Living

I hope that last month’s edition inspired you to think about the life you’re currently living, and indeed the life you could be living - one where you are financially independent and in control of your own future. Because despite what society has drummed into you, it is possible to build a lifestyle where you fit work around your lifestyle, rather than the other way around.

The reason I know this is possible is because it’s exactly what I did. And now I want to share the secrets of my success with you, so you can do the same.

My Success = Your Success

What’s this Home Business Lifestyle Newsletter all about?

Connecting You To The Best Opportunities

There are literally thousands of home-based business opportunities out there. I have tried a lot of them and some will make you money, others sadly won’t.

In these newsletters, I’ll introduce you to some of the best and most lucrative ones I’ve come across. I’ll explain what the opportunity is, how you can make money from it, and ultimately, how it can help you transform your life, for the better.

The businesses are unlike anything you’ll have heard about in your careers guidance lessons, but I can tell you from experience that any one of them can give you the personal satisfaction and financial freedom you’ve always wanted.

Connecting you to the best opportunities.

What Are Multiple Income Streams?

How Can Multiple Income Streams Help Me?

Multiple Income Streams

It’s worth saying at this point, that in order to maximize your home business potential, I’d strongly recommend that you focus on securing at least three different types of income. Why? For three reasons:

1. The more revenue streams you have, the faster you'll expedite the wealth building process and start making some serious money. 2. The more revenue streams you have, the more secure your business will be: and let's face it: financial security is what we all want isn't it?3. I know for a fact that the multiple income stream model works, as it's the strategy I used to become a successful home business entrepreneur over the last 20 plus years.

The Recommended Types of Income Streams to Build

Maximize Your Income Potential

Building multiple income streams into your home business is undoubtedly a good strategy to follow because you can maximize your income potential and not be reliant on just one source of income. Think about it for a moment. In your 'just over broke' job if you are laid off then you may not have another source of income to rely on and you will become cash strapped because you were so reliant on that job to pay out at the end of each month. What if you protected yourself against this situation and built multiple income streams from home. This way if one isn't paying out you have other income streams to work on and cover your lifestyle costs.

Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket try the multiple income streamrevenue strategy.

The Recommended Types of Income Streams To Build Continued

Three Types of Income Now then... let's develop this further. I would also advise that, in addition to building multiple income streams, you also learn about incorporating three types of income into your home business. What are they Mark? Good question... Affiliate, residual, and high ticket income.

This newsletter talks about affiliate marketing and affiliate income where you market another persons products and services for a one off commission, so more on that later but let's also look at residual and high ticket income.

Basically, residual income is where you do the work once and get paid over and over again, month after month. This can take many forms such as being paid a monthly residual income from the business owner when someone pays a utility bill to receiving a percentage of the monthly fee for access to marketing training as a subscriber to an online membership site.

Check out THE SIX FIGURE MENTORS SYSTEM - where if you join as a member yourself and learn to market their digital skills educational products then as an affiliate you can earn residual monthly income from any sales you make yourself if you are willing to put in consistent effort.

Click here to learn more and watch the video.

What about high ticket income? This is a form of affiliate income but with one big difference. It pays you $1,000 plus for just one sale!

Many affiliate sales will be against low ticket items of say up to $100, so you will receive a relatively small amount of commission. If you focus on selling low ticket items you will need to sell a bag load each month to make a good living from home. This is why you need high ticket income in your home business model where you make $1,000 or more selling high value digital or physical products. And... this will make a significant difference to your monthly income potential working from home because to hit your monthly income goals you won't need to sell as many products each month as you would with low ticket items.

To learn more about earning high ticket income and how you can get started, I invite you to take a look at Mark's high ticket blog posts.

I Turned My Life Around

If you’re interested in reading my story and finding out how I generated my full time income working from home, you can read my story on the ‘About Me’ page of my website; but in short, by using the ideas discussed in these newsletters to secure multiple revenue streams, I turned my life around – leaving my job in a legal office where I worked like a Trojan with nothing to show for it, to become a wealthy home business coach, entrepreneur and digital marketer, working from the comfort of my home, with only myself to answer to. If that’s the life you want for yourself, read on!

Affiliate Marketing

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to the first online business idea that has played a significant role in my home business career: Affiliate Marketing.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

Wouldn’t it be nice if, every time you recommended a good restaurant to a friend, and they proceeded to dine there, you got a little reward from the restaurant owner for the referral? Whilst this may not happen in the real-world, it’s exactly how affiliate marketing works.

Home Business Lifestyle Newsletter page 5

Affiliate Marketing Continued

Take a Commission on the Sale

The concept is simple: You promote a merchant’s website through your own marketing channels and in return, the merchant pays you commission on the sales you generate, or the click throughs you generate for them.

There are a number of methods you can use to make money from affiliate marketing both on and offl ine. Methods include using your own website, mailing lists, eBooks, blogs, forums, PPC advertising, local media advertising, and custom software.

Affiliate marketing is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to start making money online, as you don’t have to create your own product. You simply link up a buyer and a seller, and take a commission on the sale that has been referred by you.

Affiliate Marketing in a Nutshell

When you join an Affiliate program and choose the products that you want to sell, the vendor will provide you with a unique affiliate code that you can use to refer traffic to the target site.

Most affiliate programs supply you with ready made text links, banners and other creative copy that you simply copy and place on your website to start referring traffic. When interested visitors click on these links from your site, they get re-directed to the vendor’s site and if they purchase a product or subscribe to a service, you as the referrer make a commission. Yes, it really is that easy.

Why become an Affiliate Marketer?

There are many benefits to being an affiliate marketer: Joining an affiliate program is usually free and can be done easily via a quick online registration process. If this sounds good so far, read on my friend.

The ideas are easy to implement - all you need is a laptop or smart phone and the most basic of IT skills: they are low cost to set up - in most cases, you can launch your business on a budget of $50 or less. And the cherry on the top is that once set up, these businesses will pretty much run on auto-pilot - making you money without you having to even think about them. Doesn't that sound good?

In addition, as an affiliate marketer, you don’t have to worry about dealing with angry customers, chasing missing orders, raising invoices or any of that tedious admin you’re trying to get away from, as it’s all handled by the merchant.

Being an affiliate means you are your own boss. You can work whatever hours you want, from wherever you want, towards your own business objectives and income targets.

Pictured below Mark Ford works as his own boss.

Have you ever considered affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn money from home. It’s a marketing concept that operates with a performance based model. Basically, businesses reward other people for bringing visitors or customers their way via the affiliate’s personal marketing efforts.

Essentially, affiliate marketing is about relationships, namely the relationship between three parties: the advertiser, the publisher and the consumer. The advertiser is the main business owner and the publisher is the individual or company that markets the advertiser’s business in exchange for commission.

For a highly recommended affiliate marketing complimentary 7 day training - click here.

It works thanks to cookie technology. So a publisher can market a brand, product or service in whichever means they like, but when their messages bring in trade, advertisers can then access data that tells them where their customers came from. This process enables advertisers to employ multiple affiliate marketers.

If you like what you've read and are keen to get started with Affiliate Marketing, you can read the information on my blog and set yourself up as an Amazon Associate today. Simply click here.

There are 5 amazing reasons why affiliate marketing is such an attractive proposition to people.

1. There’s no inventory to carry around with you. Everything an affiliate marketer does is digital. In fact, thanks to the cookie technology, you don’t even have to worry about reporting in. The whole process is virtual and it’s automated.

2. A steady stream of income. If you’re good at marketing, you can develop a very reliable, steady source of income. Also, it’s an industry that’s established, tried and tested. Your success depends on your efforts, not anyone else’s.

Your success depends on your efforts, not anyone else's.

3. It’s a great way to learn about digital marketing. You’ll soon become very adept at picking up what works best, when and for whom. Measurement, creativity and adaptability are all crucial weapons for any affiliate marketer.

4. Someone else does the fulfillment. Product fulfillment isn’t your responsibility. Likewise, you don’t need specialist knowledge about what you’re selling. You just need to know how best to market something in today’s world.

5. Someone else does all the worrying. An affiliate marketer hardly has any hassles. Forget about customer support, book keeping and what hours you work. You work when you want to and you stick to the simple plan. All you do is promote; the rest is left to others.

Someone else does all the worrying.

King of Affiliate Marketing:

There are an endless number of Affiliate programmes out there, but one of the best I have seen is the Amazon Associates Programme.

After signing up as an Amazon Associate, you can create links to nearly any product in the Amazon Store and earn commissions each time someone clicks from your site and goes on to purchase an item. The best part is that it doesn’t even have to be the item you were specifically referring.

Autopilot Commissions Anyone?

Commissions range from 4 - 8%, while digital goods such as digital videos can earn you up to 10%. Amazon allows a 24 - hour “Affiliate Window,” which means that if the consumer adds anything to their shopping cart within 24 hours of clicking from your site, you are eligible for a commission. While the item needs to be “shipped” to actually earn the commission, the consumer has up to 89 days to complete the order.

Can You Set Your Mind To It?

I have operated for many years as an Amazon Associate, providing product solutions for the UK and international home based business and online marketing industries.

I’d love to be able to calculate exactly how much I’ve earned in that time, but their current reporting system only goes back as far as 2008. Working as both an Amazon Associate and seller, leveraging their excellent business systems that would cost me millions myself to set up, this has contributed in a big way to my overall multiple income stream strategy and has helped my business earn thousands over the years. I’m telling you this because I want you to know what is possible if you set your mind to it.

Amazon’s Affiliate program has been (and still is) an important revenue stream for me, which is why in this month’s newsletter, I want to share what I’ve learned about it over the years. But before I reveal my secrets, I want to tell you why I chose the Amazon Associates program as one of the affililate programmes that I recommend you take a look at.

Like this flower growing out of a wall, can you set your mind to it?

Home Business Lifestyle Newsletter page 12

Why I Chose Amazon Associates as One of My Multiple Income Streams

Everyone Knows Amazon

Amazon is a trusted brand – everyone knows Amazon. If someone is looking to buy online, Amazon would have to be one of the safest options.

Commissions on higher value products - while 4% on a book isn’t a high commission, if you promote a high value product (like a camera); the commission can be decent – up to 10%.

Easy integration – Amazon provides some good tools to help you integrate the sales channel into your website and you don’t need to be a webmaster or to take advantage of them. You simply cut and paste to link to the desired products, categories, favourites, best sellers, search results pages, or banners.

It’s an investment that matures over time – My approach with Amazon is to treat it like a savings account, that you put a little into each week and which matures over time. What do I mean by this? Every time I create a new link to Amazon, I’m creating a new doorway into the Amazon store. And each time I do, I increase the chances of sending someone to Amazon and seeing returns on those visits.

Real-time access to commission stats - Amazon tracks your performance through your affiliate ID and once you're up and running, you'll have complete, real-time access to your individual sales and commissions stats.

So those were the reasons why I chose the Amazon Associates programme, but what have I learned that I can share to help you, on the way to earning home based income with this affiliate program.

Amazon Associate Tips For Success

Here are my top 8 tips for Amazon Associate success.

1. Relevancy Matters

Your affiliate product should be relevant to the content on your website/blog. For example, if your company sells mobile phones, you don’t want an affiliate that sells fishing equipment!

The lesson here is: the more relevant your products are to your audience, the better chance you’ll have of them converting.

Cricket Website Affiliate Product Basketball

Would you have a website or blog about cricket and then place an Amazon affiliate link sending your visitors to purchase a basketball? If your answer is no, then you have a good understanding of relevancy and why it matters.

A Word To The Wise

However, Amazon doesn’t work with every topic and sometimes it’s hard to find a product that matches your exact requirements. Try different products related to your topic and track which c o n v e r t b e s t f o r y o u r audience.

2. Link to Products Inside Your Content

When you sign up to become an affiliate, Amazon will provide you with banners, widgets and buttons to use to promote their content.

Despite trying almost all of them over the years, I had little success with any of them. Instead – 99% of my conversions have come from links to Amazon from within my article and blog posts. I’ve found that simple text links in the main body of an article are the most effective way to get web visitors to click, as people trust the body of the content on a page more so than any other area of the website.

Home Business Lifestyle Newsletter page 14

Amazon Associate Tips For Success

But by all means, experiment with the widgets and buttons Amazon gives you. If they do convert, then more power to you, but every blogger I’ve talked to that has had success with Amazon tells me that contextual links, from within blog posts, work best.

3. Get People in the Door Then Leave the Rest To Amazon.

One of the great things about Amazon is that they are skilled at converting visitors into buyers. The fact that they provide a custom user experience for every visitor based on their past buying behaviour shows that they know what it takes to close a sale.

When you send someone to Amazon.com, you get a percentage of anything they buy for the next 24 hours (or 30 days if they add an item to their cart) so if you can just get them onto the website and they happen to buy something - whether it’s the thing you linked to or not, you’ll still earn a commission. Nice!

The advice here is to concentrate on getting visitors onto the Amazon.com webpage, and they’ll take care of the rest!

4. Promote Promotions!

Almost al l of Amazon’s products have a l i s ted discount on them. Most books are as much as 30% off recommended retail prices and at different times during the year, Amazon runs other s p e c i a l d i s c o u n t s a n d promot ions in d i f fe ren t product categories.

Special DiscountsAvailable Now!

Home Business Lifestyle Newsletter page 15

Amazon Associate Tips For Success Continued

Keep an eye out for these kinds of promotions because they can be well worthwhile promoting (if relevant to your readership).

A related tip is when you’re writing a review of a product and Amazon has a listed discount on it – be sure to include a note about the discount in the review. Not only will you make a commission from any resulting sales, but you may well get a stream of happy customers thanking you for making them aware of it.

Keep an eye out for these kinds of promotions.

5. Add a ‘Buy from amazon.com' ButtonThis is a very simple but effective tip. Inserting a ‘buy from amazon.com' button into your article and linking it to the relevant Amazon product page can increase conversions substantially. As most web users are familiar with Amazon and their buttons, simply adding one to your page is sure to grab attention but also get people in the door at Amazon, which is a very powerful thing.

Inserting a 'buy now' button into your article can increase substantially your conversions.

6. Insert Multiple Links Per ArticleWhen I used to write articles and reviews of products for affiliates, I only included one link to the product. I thought a single link would be enough and I didn’t want to run the risk of annoying readers with more. However one day it struck me that the articles I was writing were quite long and by the time people got to the end of them they’d scrolled down the page and the link to Amazon was no longer visible.

Insert multiple links to make it easier for your readers to find your links when they are ready to click on them.

Home Business Lifestyle Newsletter page 16

Amazon Associate Tips For Success

6. Insert multiple Links per article continued

At this point I started to experiment with two links – one at the top and one at the tail of the post and used Amazon’s tracking codes to see which one would ‘convert’ to a sale more often. The results? Both links got clicked quite a bit but the one under the article was clicked on slightly more than the top one, and more importantly, converted more.

I concluded that having read a review of a product that people were better informed to make a purchasing decision. As a result, if they clicked on a link after reading the review they were more likely to buy the product.

These days I generally use at least two links per post. The first one is usually a link on the first time I use the product’s name – the second one usually has a stronger call to action, such as ‘check it out on Amazon’ or ‘buy your own copy of XXXX here’.

7. Small Payments Add Up In the early days of making money from Amazon Associates, I didn’t have the luxury of picking and choosing my income streams as much as I now do. I needed to earn money somewhere and even the small amounts that Amazon brought in was better than nothing. Back then, I didn’t even earn enough for a minimum payment amount and I had to wait a few months before they’d pay me – but those pay outs were milestones that I celebrated. If I’d not gone with Amazon because they didn’t earn me a lot, I would not be in the position to write this newsletter now!

Small Payments Add Up - remember to celebrate your small milestones too!

Amazon Associate Tips For Success

8. Keep an Eye on Amazon

My last tip in this series is to keep an eye on what Amazon is doing. I mean this in two ways:

1. Watch for Opportunities – Amazon runs a variety of promotions on their site that you can tap into. Some of these are promoted directly to Associates – for example they send out emails semi-regularly telling them about the latest promotions, and they have a blog where they do likewise. They also give bonus commissions away on certain product categories from time to time. Not all of them will relate to your niche but if you read the blog and get the emails, you’ll know when they do.

2. Learn From Them – be a regular user of Amazon. You don’t have to be an active buyer, but surf the site and pay particular attention to the way they are promoting products on their site. Amazon has spent years perfecting the art of online selling – are constantly testing different ways to promote products, and have evolved their site quite a lot over the years. Look at the widgets they use to promote related products; watch how they use reader reviews; and look at the way that they describe products. You’ll learn a lot about online marketing by observing how the experts do it and you’ll also be in a better position to push the products you recommend if you look at the page you’re sending people to before you do it.

However, there can be a reluctance to commit to the work and education curves involved, even though we can earn while we learn and not have to go through University and come out with no job and $50,000 in debt as I know someone in SFM is!

Let’s look at some bullet points on this…

▪ we can get stuck in our ways▪ conditioned to behave in a certain way▪ believe everything in the newspapers and TV news▪ we are stuck in old systems▪ in old ways of doing things▪ resistant to change and new learning curves▪ we stay in our comfort zones and stick with what is comfortable

The result of all this is that we do what we always do and get the same result. If we take education as an example, how many of us have been conditioned to go to nursery, go to infant and junior school, go to secondary or grammar school, go to University to be told to get a good job, the best mortgage you can get, have 2.2 children and pick up a pension at 60 or 65 to find that you may not be as well off in retirement as you thought?

How many of us are conditioned to listen to people telling us to go through University to get good grades and then you will get a great job? No, in many cases it doesn’t happen and theDEA’s vision is to become a viable alternative to higher education and give the younger generation a different choice. An option whereby a digital lifestyle can be created by utilising the digital education that is made available at the different product levels within the DEA.

So, what about the DEA products? These high ticket products set the individual up for success in the digital economy and help to transition that person into a Digital Expert. In doing so, the opportunity is there to become a marketing expert, create a professional personal brand at the Platinum level and benefit from all the features of the whole DEA product line.
