Why Join Aaron Abbers Fulltilt Mentoring program

Filed Under (How to make money blogging) by shaners on 15-06-2008

Aaron Abber, one of my favorite blogger / Internet marketers and one of my top choices for Blog mentoring. Is Running a brand new type of blog mentoring program.

I have to admit I’m a bit ticked off that he’s done this because I have paid 70 bux a month in other training courses for people wanting to use blogs for affiliate marketing. He uses a different system to teach you the skills necessary to make money blogging and you don’t have to pay a dime for it, so it’s worth checking out his methods. AND we have a great time at the meeting every Monday. So you cant really do better than that.

Here’s what Aaron’s Blog mentoring program is about -

The Blog mentoring is more than just another course; it’s a complete system for affiliate marketing with blogs. It comes with a special link tracking system, special list building system. And very narrowly defined method for finding a Niche.

Click here for more details…

Aaron teaches a method of lead blogging to drive traffic to your strategically crafted WordPress blog themes (coming soon) that focus on pre-selling an affiliate product and driving traffic to your newsletter subscription incentive. in short a lead blogging theme. SO be on the look out for that.

The idea with Aarons lead blogging system is to use a WordPress blog as a “landing page” that is themed and has content designed to pre-sell the visitor on an affiliate product. While focusing on attracting and collecting email subscriptions. (leads) Obviously the plan is for as many visitors as possible to click the affiliate link on that blog post and then purchase the product, which is how the revenue is generated. While at the same time Having your Blog content pre-sell a subscription incentive so you can build your newsletter and RSS feed base.

If you’ve been online any length of time you already know that your list—whether RSS or Email of both—is your key to success. The more people on your list, the more money your business will produce.

Aaron also makes use of targeted email lists he builds using his affiliate blogs, which is something I can wholeheartedly agree with (I’m all about email list building). His mentoring package actually comes with a script that makes the technical part of adding an email list opt-in form to your blog easy. This is something I have yet to add to my blogs. (So much to do so little time to do it) When you’re registered as a Blog Mentoring Student, you’ll be sent the script from Aaron.

One great way to build a larger subscriber base is to offer a free gift—a free download of an eBook or software—as an incentive for subscribing. To do this You Also get a very cool plug-in that allows you to deliver the Free e-book in your Rss feed. With out having to create another page or send it out manually.

Aaron provides PDF workbooks that teach the Lead blogging system, Along with The mp3’s from the weekly meetings, a quickstart guide and a bunch of other stuff you can check out on the Why join page.

Testing and tracking is not something most bloggers do , you do track don’t you? when it comes to affiliate marketing and it’s great to see a blog mentoring that includes this topic and even provides you with a special tracking link that Aaron uses to encode your ID which then pays YOU for referals to make the sign up process easier. Props to AAron for coming out with such a great feature.

Does This Lead blogging System Work?

Let’s state the obvious - affiliate marketing using blogs works. Thousands of affiliates make money every day using blogs to sell other people’s products. I’m doing this right now with this blog post (well, if any people sign up for Aarons Blog mentoring program after reading this article I am anyway!).

What I can tell you is this that my Rss feeds and newsletter subscriptions have gone through the roof. I’m presently doing very well using Aaron’s established system.

I will be straight with you - I can’t tell you this system will work for you, but if you don’t have a system yet and you are still in the learning and testing phase, this is something you can try and may just turn out to be a winner. I just don’t know how much work you are willing to do.

I like Aarons mentoring style and how polished his stuff is - he clearly puts a lot of work into it. I think he’s a great Internet marketer and I know he already makes thousands of dollars online. I also have to admit that I’m super interested in the topic of this mentoring program combining two of my favorite things, blogging and affiliate marketing, which is why I am recommending you check this out.

Again as I said above this mentoring prgram is completely free of charge, so it’s not a super huge investment considering you get all the tools and a pretty extensive manual.

Here’s the link again for further details check it out to see if it is right for you

niche marketing strategies

Niche Marketing Strategies

ritten by Garry Conn

Many bloggers often wonder some of the best niche marketing strategies are. That can be somewhat of a challenge to answer as your strategies can vary on the niche you are marketing. Here are some simple and universal thoughts that will help and guide with you through your ventures in niche marketing. These are general strategies that will help you overall. More or less, just some common sense things that I think many people including myself tend to neglect. These strategies all work very well for me with making money using Market Leverage. So here goes:

Branding: So many blogs that I find are spreading the products or things that they are trying to sell way too thin. I can visit just many niche blogs that are marketing many products and it gets overwhelming. Many months ago, I stated that new niche sites that are trying to market products and services should really pick just a few and roll with them. Even though these products aren’t your own, you should act as if they were. The product that you’re marketing is your brand, in essence you become an extension of the product your support and promote.

Timing: In the world of niche marketing and developing strategies, timing is everything. I focus on seasonal niche marketing. I have quite a few blogs that take full advantage of the deals market and I promote heavily holiday based products. Most profitable for me have been Black Friday, CyberModay and The Day After Christmas.

Awareness of Demand: Another reason why I work in the seasonal niche market is because I know in advanced when spikes in business will occur. People don’t shop for Christmas items in July and these same people don’t buy fireworks in October. I am always aware of supply and demand.

Effective Marketing: You need a channel to promote your business, product or service. I use WordPress primarily. Why? Because WordPress is a glorified web based version of FrontPage. It is well designed and produces web pages that are of very high quality in code. WordPress is very search engine friendly and with a few minor tweaks and modifications, a WordPress blog opens up a huge pipeline with many of the major search engine web crawlers. Effective marketing means everything in your niche marketing strategies. I also use online video syndication services such as YouTube, AOL Video, Revver, MySpace Video, etc. to promote my niche blog. Additionally, I use Digg, StumbleUpon, Sphinn and Propeller to thrust out mass awareness of anything I am trying to flood and promote into the blogosphere and Internet.

Micro Management / Bean Counter: Give me a blog with 100 daily visits and I’ll produce a golden brick. I am very particular with things and I micro manage my traffic. When I get a visitors to my blog(s) I act as if they are physical people entering into my brick and mortar storefront. I closely control where my visitors go and what they see. My job is making sure their actions on my sites create revenue in my pocket or converts into regular readers. I closely control my outgoing links and provide very useful information.
