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.

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.

Using Sooshi consists of mainly trolling through the list of users and trying to strike up a conversation. You can send direct messages, update your status, or check in on the profiles of other users. One annoying feature was that Sooshi forces the users to have GPS enabled. Sure it makes for a convenient way to tag your location and find other users, but the battery drain is quite significant. That is of course if you plan to make use of Sooshi. What you are likely to find is many users who pass along “whatups” to each other or, surprisingly, complain about the app itself.

Apps like Buddy and Sooshi are trying to supplement what Twitter, Facebooks and others have launched with social networking. But the experience just isn’t that satisfying. It lacks the connection that some of the more well-established networks have.

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.

Many of the earlier apps in the entertainment category got the attention they did because of the way they demonstrated the multi-touch and accelerometer capabilities of the iPhone. Now that over one billion apps have been downloaded from the app store, we all know how cool the iPhone is and what it is capable of. Fluid 2’s user interface is old news.

That said, Fluid 2 is a cool app. It is fun to drop coins in the water and watch the ripples for a few minutes, while listening to relaxing music. I would describe Fluid 2 as meditation in motion. But Fluid 2 is not keeping my attention any more than Fluid. Unless you have nothing else to do, download the original Fluid and save a dollar. If you already have Fluid and are eager for more user options, then Fluid 2 is worth spending your money on.

My Brute

My Brute for the iPhone and iPod touch “is a crazy, off-the-wall game of combat that gives you the chance to challenge fighters from all over the world,” according to Bulkypix, developers of My Brute.

Yep, it’s one of those “create your own character or Brute, give it a personality and go around chopping, hacking, kicking and ideally, turning your enemies into dust and ashes..

Evidently the MyBrute site attracts more than 1.7 million visitors a day, who have created more than 70 million “brutes” or warriors.

Take on your opponent, virtual or real, anywhere around the world. With each challenge, as you gain experience, boost your confidence and unlock mad skillz, you’ll be able to dispatch them faster and faster. You can unlock and use more than 70 skills and weapons, so you can be kung fu fighting like a mad man or woman for quite some time.

My Brute lets you create up to 8 brutes and fight up to five opponents each day. You can also open your own dojo, become a master ,and invite other pupils to sit at your feet like grasshoppers and learn the techniques they’ll need to be successful warriors. You start the game with three brutes and as you get more pupils to join your dojo, you can create up to eight characters with additional powers. In that way, it’s like a Ponzi scheme.

You can also issue challenges to friend and foes on Facebook.

This is a terrific-looking game. The graphics are superb and the if you like, you can listen to your iPod while you’re throwing blows, kicking and pummeling your enemies into submission.

However, I just gotta say: I don’t understand the attraction of My Brute. Your friends must also purchase the $4.99 title if you want to invite them to become pupils and to fight head-to-head. You don’t actually fight – the action is done automatically. It’s just wasn’t engaging enough to keep me occupied for long.

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.

By 2004 Apple’s iPod business had become more important, and more vulnerable, than ever. The iPod accounted for 16 percent of company revenue, but with 3G phones gaining popularity, Wi-Fi phones coming soon, the price of storage plummeting, and rival music stores proliferating, its long-term position as the dominant music device seemed at risk.

Summer 2004, while Jobs publicly denied he would build an Apple phone, in an effort to bypass the carriers, he approached Motorola. When the first prototypes showed up at the end of 2004, there was a major problem: The gadget itself was ugly.

February 2005, Even as the ROKR went into production, Jobs got together with Cingular executives to discuss a Motorola-free partnership. Jobs delivered a three-part message to Cingular: Apple had the technology to build something truly revolutionary, “light-years ahead of anything else.” Apple was prepared to consider an exclusive arrangement to get that deal done.

September 2005, Jobs unveiled the ROKR, describing it as “an iPod shuffle on your phone.” Consumers hated it.

Around Thanksgiving of 2005, eight months before a final agreement with Cingular was signed, Jobs tasked about 200 of Apple’s top engineers with creating the iPhone. Internally, the project was known as P2, short for Purple 2 (the abandoned iPod phone was called Purple 1).

Fall of 2006 — Prototype is still a disaster. It is not just buggy, it does not work. The phone drops calls constantly, the battery stops charging before it is full, data and applications routinely become corrupted and unusable. The list of problems seems endless. Steve Jobs is upset: “We don’t have a product yet.”

After a year and a half of secret meetings, Jobs negotiated terms with the wireless division of AT&T (Cingular at the time) to be the iPhone’s carrier. In return for five years of exclusivity, roughly 10 percent of iPhone sales in AT&T stores, and a thin slice of Apple’s iTunes revenue, AT&T had granted Jobs unprecedented power. Unique revenue-sharing arrangement was put in place with Apple share of $10 a month from every iPhone customer’s AT&T bill. Apple retained complete control over the design, manufacturing, and marketing of the iPhone.

Mid-December 2006, Jobs met Cingular boss Stan Sigman in Las Vegas. He showed off the iPhone’s brilliant screen, its powerful Web browser, its engaging user interface. Sigman, called the iPhone “the best device I have ever seen.”

January 2007, Jobs announced the iPhone at Macworld.

June 29, 2007, the iPhone went on sale. It is arguably Apple’s most profitable device. The company nets an estimated $80 for every $399 iPhone it sells, and that’s not counting the $240 it makes from every two-year AT&T contract an iPhone customer signs. Meanwhile, about 40 percent of iPhone buyers are new customers of AT&T’s.

According to analysts Apple spent roughly $150 million building the iPhone.

Jan 2008, According to Apple it is sold 3.71 million iPhones in 2007.

February 2008, iPhone SDK released to developers starting a new era of mobile applications.

July 2008, iPhone 3G is launched, but what is most important Apple AppStore opened its download resources to the consumers, turning instantly mobile applications industry from multi-million dollar to multi-billion dollar industry.

Jan 2009, 13.7 million of iPhones sold in 2008 beating Apple estimates by 3.7 million.

Mar 2009, Apple sold a total of 17 millions of iPhones since launch. Apple developer programm boasts 50,000 members, while the number of applications available via the company’s App Store now exceeds 25,000. There have been 800 million total downloads on the App Store so far, Apple said and 2009 AppStore revenue estimate is close to $1 billion.

June 2009, iPhone 3Gs launched with video recording support and many more other updates. Faster, better, still the same form-factor. More than 1 million iPhone 3G S smartphones have sold in the three days since the new model hit the stores

There was a huge iPhone impact on the structure of the mobile phone industry. Carriers are learning that the right phone — even a pricey one — can win customers and bring in revenue. In the pursuit of an Apple-like contract, every manufacturer is racing to create a phone that consumers will love, instead of one that the carriers approve of.

The iPhone cracked open the carrier-centric structure of the wireless industry and unlocked a host of benefits for consumers, developers, manufacturers — and potentially the carriers themselves. Consumers get an easy-to-use handheld computer.

Application developers gained new opportunities as the wireless carriers begin to abandon their walled-garden approach to snaring consumers.

iPhone story does not end here. To be continued…

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia – A Canadian musician has become an Internet sensation after posting a song on YouTube about United Airlines breaking his guitar.
Dave Carroll’s video for the song “United Breaks Guitars” was posted on site earlier this week and has received more than 600,000 hits by Thursday evening.
“I was thinking I’d definitely get some action on (YouTube) because the song has been resonating so well with audiences as I’ve been performing it, but I didn’t know it would take off like this,” Carroll said.

CCTV footage of Sun Danyong the day before he died

A Chinese man suspected of stealing a prototype for the fourth generation iPhone has committed suicide.

Before his death, Sun Danyong told friends he had been beaten up by security staff from his firm, Foxconn, one of Apple’s largest manufacturers.
Foxconn, a large Taiwanese company which employed Sun in its huge Shenzhen factory, has launched an investigation.
Apple says it is saddened by the death and is waiting for the results of the investigation. Sun Danyong was 25 when he threw himself off a 12-storey building last week.As part of his job, he was responsible for shipping iPhone prototypes to Apple.

Such prototypes are a closely guarded secret, as Apple likes to keep its new products and upgrades under wraps until their launch date, to heighten customer anticipation.On 13 July, Sun reported that he was missing one of the 16 units in his possession.

The company immediately launched an investigation into the disappearance; three days later he had jumped to his death.

Sun’s former classmates have told Chinese newspapers that during the firm’s investigation he was beaten, his house was searched and he was locked up alone in a room.

They say he described what happened in an online chat with them as one of the most humiliating experiences of his life.

Foxconn and the local public security bureau are investigating the allegations, and the firm has expressed its condolences to Sun’s family and set up extra counselling services for employees. It has also has suspended its chief of security, Gu Qinming. Mr Gu denies hitting Sun, and a CCTV image of the worker on the day before he died – which was featured on the front page of the local Nanfang Metropolitan Daily on Wednesday – appears to back up Mr Gu’s version of events.

According to a BBC correspondent in Beijing, Chris Hogg, Foxconn has faced allegations in the past that it treats its employees poorly.It has always denied such claims, and was cleared by Apple of any serious abuses, our correspondent says.
