In this article I’m going to expose one of my best-kept blogging secrets, that’ll make you money hand over fist in less than a few short weeks of implementing this single powerful method. It’s nothing mystical or complicated about it, because it’s simple at it’s core.

The method I’m referring to is the art and science of securing advertisers for your blog, to make a hefty 4 to 5 figure (even 6 figures if you have the midas touch) per month.

So the first step you want to do is ask yourself these key questions; " What is it your ideal advertisers want, and why would they want to advertise on your blog?"

Well, the first and obvious answer is to drive traffic to their business (online or offline) so they can drive more sales and create more profit for themselves.

Here’s how you get your first advertiser to your blog:

Contact well-known authority websites/blogs/e-commerce stores in your niche…and drop the big "F Bomb" — offer to give them FREE advertising.

The big difference with this bomb and the one that destroys everything in it’s path, is this bomb clears a path for you to attract more advertisers, and put more money in your pockets with less effort.

And guess what? Most bloggers will never do something that appears to be so insane as to "giving away the farm" without getting nothing in return — at first. Little do they know how powerful and effective this simple method will produce back-end profits, to make any average blogger blush in envy.

Therefore, the fastest way to get your first advertiser is to offer it free. Not only will it get your feet wet in the process to setting everything up, it will give you the experience on dealing with future advertisers.

Than you’ll notice something a bit strange…

Other advertisers are going to fight tooth and nail to get a premium spot on your blog, because they see "Authority Blog #1" endorsing your blog.

Can you guess what happens next?

Social Proof kicks in and other prospect advertisers jump onboard, because they don’t want to miss out on securing their spot on your blog every month, while keeping the competitors at bay.

Next thing you know, you’re getting emails asking about your ad space and how much you charge. Don’t forget to have a "contact me" form on your blog, otherwise you’ll be kicking yourself in the shin for missing out on thousands of dollars in potential income, because you didn’t give them a way to contact you.

Remember: The GOAL is not for YOU to make money. That will take care of itself, if you make it your goal to help your advertisers make money — for themselves.

Going out of your way to make sure they get more than their money’s worth in traffic and sales (even pointing out areas on their website in which they can improve to boost sales), will keep them coming back for more like a kid running after the ice cream truck.

Eventually, advertisers are going to fight tooth and nail to get a chance to get a spot on your next monthly spot — creating social proof that snowballs on itself and creates a momentum of emails and inquiries, you couldn’t stop from storming in — even if you tried.

Not a bad problem to have.

Here’s what you do next: Take this method and put it into massive action. Do a basic google search and look for a well-respected authority website in your target niche, and follow the system I laid out above, because it works.

Now go out there and make yourself a 5-figure bloggers monthly income on autopilot!

What I’m about to talk about will ruffle a few feathers along the way, so if you have sensitive skin I advise you turn away from reading the rest of this article, especially if you’re one of the tweeters I’m referring to below.

So, why am I choosing to talk about a twitter marketing secret that’s a little blunt and in your face?

Because telling the truth about using twitter the "most effective" way is, well… inconvenient.

Let’s face it, it gives us a warm fuzzy feelings inside when we think we’ve accomplished a lot by building this massive list of tweeters on auto-pilot. It kind of makes us feel like we "did a lot of something", when in reality — "we did a lot of nothing".

Don’t misquote me. Using tools to help speed up the process of finding quality twitter users is valuable. It saves us time. But what these tools can NOT do, is replace building real relationships, which DOES take time, no matter how you slice it.

If you look at a few internet marketers twitter accounts, you’ll discover a lot of them are using these tools to artificially boost their followers, so they can eventually sell secrets on how they got 100,000,000 followers, in less than 48 hours. Not "all" of them are like that, but a few of them do have those intentions to sell you the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I don’t care how many followers YOU get, be selective of those you’re following.

Come to terms that many of those who follow you, do so on the condition you follow them. But sometimes, those people just aren’t worth following. What you’ll find is nothing short of amazing…

If you received 100 clicks for every link you tweeted to 500 people, and grew your followers by 1500 to a total of 2000 followers, if you deleted those 1500 posers you’ll get the same results then, as you did BEFORE the extra followers — because you have the same quality followers now, as you did than who really appreciate your content.

In other words, you’re better off connecting with a smaller groups, and building relationships with a few people at a time, while letting your social influence grow naturally to the point where it reaches critical mass.

The best tweeps are those who have 200 followers, follows 20 – 30 twitters, has been using the same twitter account for at LEAST a full year, and makes 1 or 2 tweets a day consistently… rather than following a "copycat" who’s sole intention is to spam the hell out of it’s 10 thousand followers.

Many of us dream of packing our jobs in. We would love to tell our bosses to take this job and shove it. Many of us are frightened of doing what we most desire. The fear of leaving that secure source of income stops most people, and those that do get past that fear, often don’t have the capital to get a business up and running.

A home business does take money if it’s run as a sole proprietorship. However, starting a home based ‘affiliate’ marketing business is a completely different kettle of fish.

Setting up a home based affiliate marketing business is relatively easy and there are several factors that make it very attractive.

One of the most desirable factors is the privilege of being able to work from your own home. Your home is your most comfortable surrounding. Everything you want and need is right there. Is your have small children, a home business is even better. You can work and still be home with the children.

You also don’t need to worry about commuting and work wardrobes. You can work when you want and schedule your jobs around your other commitments. Working from home does provide people with many wonderful advantages.

A home based affiliate marketing business builds on that even further. A home business, if it’s run as a sole proprietorship will need a significant amount of start up money. Even small businesses need a fairly large amount.

Most people rely on banks for the financing which puts them at further risks. When you sign on as an affiliate, the risk level drops by about 90 percent. When you sign up as an affiliate, you’re either selling goods or services on behalf of another company.

You are paid according to how well you perform. You don’t have to worry about sales targets and making a certain amount every month. The company you work for worries about all of that. You concentrate on selling the goods and services that you want and increasing your earnings.

A home based business that is run as a sole proprietorship has to worry about competition. Unless you really hit upon a niche market you are likely going to have to attract customers away from already established businesses in your area.

This can be difficult because customers tend to trust what they know is good. If you do manage to do it, you will be creating some bad blood between you and other businesses. By working through a home based affiliate marketing program, you’ll be selling products that have already been on the market.

You can actually check the saleability of these products with the company. If the products you choose are well known and trusted, then you won’t have a problem attracting customers. This takes the stress off of you.

A home based business that is run as a sole proprietorship, can take years to get established. On average, nearly 70 percent of small businesses fail in the first year. Those that do make still have many hurdles to get past.

It usually takes 5-7 years to realize any significant profit in a sole proprietorship. During this time the business owners have to continually promote their business just to keep it afloat.

A home bases affiliate marketing business is much easier to manage. You will have to work hard to promote yourself but most of the start up work will be dome for you. You’ll have your line of products or services and ways to advertise them.

You’ll also have support from a company representative. They will be on hand to answer questions and offer advice on how to increase your sales. Remember, the better you do the better they do.

Running a business as a sole proprietorship can be extremely rewarding. If your one of the lucky ones that makes it the financial rewards can be tremendous. However, the odds are stacked against you when you take this option.

A home based affiliate marketing company minimizes the risk and offers you support when you need it. You will still have to work extremely hard but they rewards will be well worth it.

Surface level keywords are teeming with competition. In order to compete online, finding little-known keywords with good traffic is a crucial skill. It’s not a no brainer, but it’s not rocket science either; and you can bet that learning this skill will pay off. Here are two techniques to find these little known keywords.

Stealing Keywords;Chances are, your competitors have spent a lot of time and money researching what keywords work and what keywords don’t. They’ll have just a few keywords that really work for them out of the hundreds or even thousands of keywords they might have tried

Wouldn’t you like to be able to justl… steal these keywords?

You can. There are many tools online like Compete and Keyword spy that allow you to just that, even for free. One great way to find little known keywords is to look through your competitors and similar websites and lookup what keywords they’re getting their traffic from.

Compile a list of these keywords then do your research on each of these keywords. What’s the search volume and search competition?

Chances are you’ll be able to find a handful of keywords that you would have never thought of or found any other way. Thinking "Sideways"

Another great way to find little known keywords is through sideway thinking. In other words, "what else might this type of person type in?"

Most internet marketers take the lazy route of only typing in their top level keyword and researching more keywords based on those results. Unfortunately, everyone’s doing that, resulting in a lot of competition.

If you go one step beyond, it’ll very likely pay off for you. Put yourself in the shoes of your customer. If you’re selling an eBook on teaching men how to get a girlfriend, your most basic keyword might be "how to get a girlfriend."

But what else might you try to rank for? These are just a few as an example…

"Where to meet girls"
"I’m lonely"
"Geek dating" "Get a Date"

So on and so forth. This applies no matter what industry you’re in. There are so many potential keywords that don’t have your base keyword in it; you’d be missing out on so much traffic if you just used keyword tools and a couple base keywords to do your research.

If you combine these two techniques – Stealing from competitors and sideways thinking – then you’ll surely be able to find a couple handfuls of great keywords that others haven’t yet found. Utilize these low competition little known keywords to boost your traffic and your business to where you want it to be.

Think outside the box when it comes to keywords. The more you’re trying to do what everyone else is doing, the harder it will be for you to succeed. The more you think outside the box and do what everyone else doesn’t know how to or isn’t willing to do, the more money you’ll make.

The best thing that you can do when you make a mistake, is to ask for forgiveness. First of all, it makes you feel better. Secondly it’s the right thing to do, and lastly, your list members will appreciate the acknowledgment. There’s another reason, one that you’ve heard before:

"It’s better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

Okay, this can be a little bit controversial, but let’s imagine that you’ve been given a really good offer for your subscribers, that fits your niche perfectly, but you’ve already sent out your weekly message to your members already. The offer has a very short time limit, meaning if your subscribers will miss out on the deal, if you don’t let them know about it… NOW!

What do you do? If you send out an announcement about this special offer, you’ve broken a promise to your subscribers, because you told them you would only send out things like this, once a week?

Well, just do it, and in your sales copy apologies for doing it. This is something you should do very rarely… because if you use this method too often, your subscribers will stop trusting you.

Save this for very, very special offers that are once in a lifetime and not to be missed. Tell your members up front what you’re doing, and that you’re sorry, and that they can delete right now if they don’t want to read on.

Tell them these ‘once in a lifetime opportunities’ are far and few between, and you hate the thought of them missing out, so from time to time. they will receive the odd ‘extra’ mailing from you.

Sometimes real mistakes happen though, a list server goes nuts, sends out emails that it wasn’t supposed to. Your site gets attacked by a virus, or worse, your members are sent a virus via a hacker through your list. Sometimes you recommend a product you really believed in, only to find out it wasn’t as good as you thought.

All these things can and do happen. The best thing that you can do is own up to it, apologize, and explain how you will work to prevent such things in the future. Your members will realize that you are just human, and being forgiving as most people are, they will move on.

We generally feel like we operate as lone eagles, don’t we? We really like to think we are tops in what we do. The simple nature of our sales talent is that of a solo performer. YES…we do work with other people but who controls the loudspeaker? You?

The one supreme disadvantage in our online status is that we don’t normally get the chance to ramble things off with people at the water cooler. Instead, we carry on discussions with our keyboards. Even though we can be very spirited, motivated and also inspired, how "ONE-Sided" are we?

Sure we like it that way. Isn’t it cool not to be interrupted, or to have to listen attentively and hear negatives from one of our associates, OR whining customers? Rulers have a hard time cutting it here in e-sales.

Are you missing the real problem? Are we all missing the perspective that others can add to our e-plan? In order NOT to be coming in from sewer city field on a regular basis, we should make a sincere effort to get the advice of others. No man or woman is an island, even though online sales can make us FEEL that way, sometimes!

In the offline business world, the best advice can usually come from a Board of Directors. They are not required to meet, so their advice should be straight from the shoulder. Is this you, shooting straight from the shoulder OR below the hip? Push off advise from balanced advisors and YOU lose!

What might appear shady OR cloudy OR a gray area to you. could be crystal clear, black and white, to advisors. Why? Because they don’t always do as much negative dialog with a keyboard as often as you do. If your business advisors are way out in left field, you’re gonna have troubles.

Experience in managing e-trouble can determine your business future. Do you fully understand this concept?

Listening closely to a trusted, ethical advisor is a small price to pay as a Prince or Princess of the e-highway, but pay it you must, "if" you EVER want to continue to be paid regularly. You DO want to be here 10 years from now, right?

Words to live by? O.K. here you have them!

"Take the HIGH Road. Don’t be your competition’s negative loudspeaker! Readers are brighter than you think… it pays to adhere to ethics and never waiver. People come and go on the e-highway each and everyday. Don’t be one of them!

• LEARN the 80/20 Law of Uneven Distribution

Know this: you really shouldn’t get too smart for your prospects or customers. Try speaking at their language levels so the ad copy is always understood.

Almost ALL of your business relates to your advertising. Language is very important. Let’s face it, if you have good advertising and bad products or services, it won’t help you too much, IF your refund rate is sky high. IF your complaint file goes as high as the sky, you’ll have more problems than you can imagine.

How Important Is Grammar in Advertising?

No matter what you might have read, it isn’t very important except to those who specialize in it. That’s NOT to say you should be sloppy. However, your advertising should NOT look like thousands of other people’s advertising! That’s worse.

How About Punctuation?

Well, the same rule applies. Never get sloppy but accentuate your advertising according to your unique style and skills. It’s NOT wise to just slap an ad together. Don’t even attempt a sales letter without some practice. ( Ditto for web-text )

Are you really fond of written material that looks like oodles of other people’s sales stuff? I hope not. How many people do you think use the same set-ups? It is something to ponder.

You should get your point across with ease. Formality has a place in business, but you must always relate to the people you’re talking to. Anything otherwise is probably not going to help you attract followers.

Never use dollar words when DIME words will do. In many cases, Five Dollar words might be too expensive for you! If you speak above your audience, you’ll lose them.

How do you measure the service level for each of your contacts and customers? Your accounts aren’t all created equal. You MUST handle the "new’ accounts, the BIG accounts and the messed up accounts, FIRST!

Circumstances can and do shift. Since Wonder Woman and Superman aren’t your middle names, TRAIN yourself to set priorities.

How will you decide who gets handled first?

NEW accounts HAVE to have a GREAT first impression. Mess these accounts up and you might never get a second chance. STOP what you’re doing and HANDLE them. Remember, no one starts anything without you being positive, that everything is going in the right direction when you start a new account.

Biz Development takes a LOT of work!

You sell yourself daily. Your paycheck depends on YOU! Hold hands. How much are you worth? DOUBLE check every initial order. Know your deals and be able to explain ALL of them. Leave ZERO to chance. Make time to study your material.

You should learn how to re-rank and upgrade your new friends to a more routine and better level of service. Sure, everyone is your VIP, BUT your biggest and best, MUST always get that kind of very special treatment, from you.

Customers believe that you are working FULL time for them. Your job will ALWAYS be to make everything work right, for everyone. This is why people pay you, regardless of how things may have gone wrong. FIX them "yesterday."

Finally, but NEVER least, is the place where nothing goes right for you, no matter what you try to do. We ALL have things like this happen, but it should NOT happen frequently! If it happens more often than you like it to, learn to manage better.

You had better understand that this business costs you lost sleep. What you do AND fail to do, causes the company to lose money. It would be nice to be able to simply walk away, but you can’t. Losers walk away.

Do what you have to do, even though it is way out of proportion to its return value. Balance in online sales and online service IS different. The new, the big and the very painful situations should ALWAYS rule your day… IF you want to be paid and eat. There are BIG wheels AND little w heels. How YOU roll is really up to you.

As a business owner, you know that you are constantly wondering how you can attract more clients. If you own an online business, the answer to your traffic problem is internet marketing.

Internet marketing is not quite as easy as it may sound. You have to consider the fact that you need to work hard in order for you to attract targeted traffic to your website. You need to write a lot of good articles related to the products or services that you are selling, and you also need to join forums, and the discussions in it. You also need to make your website attractive to your visitors.

Whatever you’re selling, internet marketing is a hard task to do, but when it works, it is well worth the effort and money.

However, thanks to social networking websites, such as Facebook, you will see that internet marketing is a lot easier than ever before.

First of all, in all social networking websites, Facebook is one of the most popular websites. Here, you will already have the numbers you need. This means that it already has traffic. With millions of subscribers logging in and out each day and also millions more registering each day, you can be sure that you will be able to get your fair share of targeted traffic with Facebook.

In Facebook, you will see that all kinds of people with different social backgrounds join. Also, the members themselves will try to separate themselves from distinct groups.

Because Facebook allows people to create and join groups, you will be able to easily find your target customers. Whether the group is separated by age, school, gender or interests, you will see that you will find all sorts of groups here in Facebook.

Another great thing about Facebook, is that it will provide every member with the tools needed, to communicate with their network. These tools are great for you to use in order to advertise or market your products or services to other Facebook subscribers. From applications to news feeds and blogs, you will see that Facebook will be able to provide it all.

Now that you know about Facebook, the next question would be how to market in it. The first thing that you need to do is subscribe to Facebook. After subscribing, you may want to try adding your old friends. Invite them to join Facebook so that you can start building your network.

Then, try joining groups with interests that are related to the products or services that you are selling.

Use the tools in Facebook to attract people to view your profile page. Add videos, pictures and applications.

Basically, this is how Facebook can help in marketing your products or services. It will readily provide you with traffic and the tools you need to market, but it is entirely up to you to do the marketing itself.

You have to figure out how to properly use the tools in order for you to effectively market your products or services. These are the things that you need to remember about Facebook.
