The best thing about affiliate marketing is that it requires almost zero capital. You can literally start from $50 and make a hundred thousand or even more just within a year. All you need to start off is a website and a small business web hosting account. In this article I am going to discuss 5 essential steps to tell you how to make a lot of money by affiliate marketing.

1- Research

Before you start looking for a product to promote, you need to do an extensive research. You do not want to dive into a niche where there might be a lot of traffic but no money because people are just looking for some free information, or a niche where there is way too much competition for a newcomer to attract any audience. Use tools like Google trends and Twitter search to look for hot trends and then visit sites like Yahoo Answers to find out what kind of solutions people are looking for in your niche. Make sure you pick a niche where there is audience that is willing to spend money for quality products.

2- Select a product

You need to find a product in your niche that has moderate popularity and lesser affiliate competition. It is always good to first try the product before you start promoting it. Go through the sales page and make sure it is good enough to capture visitors and turn them into customers. A strong sales page can make all the difference.

3- Promote

Now that you have done your initial research and selected a great product, it is time to promote it. This is going to be the key to your success. You need to have a strong presell page. Do not send your visitors directly to your affiliate link. Later I’ll explain to you why you don’t want to do this. Drive traffic — targeted traffic to your presell page, there are lots of methods that you can use for this purpose, but first – here you need to do another research and find out your targeted keywords with low competition and comparatively higher monthly search volume, this can be done using a good keyword research tool and then drive traffic using Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing, article marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) for your selected keywords. Remember it’s not about getting lots and lots of visitors but few very targeted visitors.

4- Build a list

Now here is why you do not want to send your visitors directly to your affiliate link. Force your visitors to opt-in if they want to see your offer. Yes! Force them, if they can’t even give you their name and email, there’s not much chance they would buy the product. Using this method, not only will you be able to filter out the visitors that are not interested but you’ll also be building a list at the same time. It’s important to build a good relationship with your subscribers, don’t pitch them a new product every day. Instead provide them free information and build credibility so they can trust you and leverage your list when you find a product worth promoting. After completing these four steps, you’ll be able to actually see how to make a lot of money of money by affiliate marketing.

5- Rinse and repeat

That’s right, now that you know how to make a lot of money by affiliate marketing all you have to do is repeat the process because once you have setup a successful campaign it won’t need more than a couple of hours a week to maintain it.

A number of apps are trying to get in on the social networking experience made popular by the likes of Facebook and Twitter. Sooshi – Social Sushi tries to supplement your other online identities by creating a real-time network with users you can interact with in real-time through your iPhone.

Much like Buddy, Sooshi gives you some ways to meet people online, though just like your average Craig’s List relationship quality pickings are slim and unlikely to lead to any long-term friendships.

One good feature found in Sooshi that many other social media apps lack is the ability to sign up for a profile directly inside the app — many force you on to the web to create an account.

Once you do this you can connect your existing social networking profiles and other links such as your web site or blog to your Sooshi account. This makes your profile a bit more complete and transparent to those who may check you out in the Sooshi community. Read the rest of this entry »

There are so many apps now that do so little. Fluid 2 is one of those Zen apps whose motto could be “don’t just do something, sit there.”

Fluid 2, a ninety-nine cent version of the free Fluid from Fabien Sanglard, allows you to do more than tap the screen and watch the waves ripple across the water. With Fluid 2, you can also toss a coin to make a wish, upload your own background from your photo album, listen to ambient music and change the color of the water.

Still, Fluid 2 is a do-nothing app. With so many apps-without-purpose competing for recognition, Fluid 2 does not stand out. Koi Pond, one of the original apps in this category, is more engaging. Read the rest of this entry »

In 2002, shortly after the first iPod was released, Jobs started thinking about developing a phone. Consumers would prefer just one device instead of mobile phone, player and Palm. To protect his new product line, Jobs knew he would eventually need to venture into the wireless world.

In 2003, consumers had flocked to the Palm Treo 600, which merged a phone, PDA, and BlackBerry into one slick package. That proved there was demand for a so-called convergence device, but it also raised the bar for Apple’s engineers.

There\’s something delightfully simple about the bubble shooter genre – no convoluted plot to learn, no complicated controls, no statistics to keep in mind, you can even get away with slow reflexes. There\’s just the simplicity of firing up bubbles to make combinations of three or more of the same colour. And they pop! Clear a level and you get some more. And more. And so on, to while away a short or lengthy hiatus in your life.
Bubblyz won’t make any jaws drop but it’s a solidly implemented game. By default, you angle your ‘bubble gun’ using an on-screen touch control, but you can set it to use the accelerometer instead if you really want to. There’s even a ‘Reverse tilt’ option for those of you who think that the playing field should be tilting rather than the bubble gun, and you can fiddle with the ‘Tilt sensitivity’ if needed. I stuck solidly with the on-screen control though, and had no problems. Left handers should note that you’ve been thought of too, with an option to switch the Fire button to the left hand side of the screen.In addition to matching up bubble colour combinations, there are special bubbles, e.g. bomb bubbles that burst a handful of whichever colour they come into contact with, or row creation bubbles that turn every bubble on the contact row the same colour, making them easier to get rid of. Together with the advancing ceiling, which gets lower by one ‘notch’ every time the right-hand-side timer bar fills up, these extra elements spice up gameplay nicely and stop things getting boring.Maybe I’m a little colour blind, but there is one big annoyance in Bubblyz – the creators have used several bubble colour pairs that are just too close to each other – the dark blue/purple ones in particular are VERY hard to distinguish in the heat of the action and I constantly sent the wrong bubble up to join the wrong pair. This can be easily fixed in an update, hopefully. Or maybe I just need new glasses?This glitch notwithstanding, Bubblyz is a lovely little game and great for long journeys, either for you or your kids. There’s a cute stereo music soundtrack, but this can thankfully be turned off, to avoid driving your travelling companions mad!
