Bad Regulators Cost Small Businesses
When a regulator finds a target to go after to collect fees to insure next years budget, often it is a small business. In fact the definition of a small business includes what normal people might even think of as a medium sized business. Often a Federal Regulator might be a 26-year old kid fresh out of college being supervised by an older regulator. The younger regulator often wishes to secure his or her case in the name of Justice and wants to change the world being fresh out of college. But they know they must win the case.This is when the problem starts. Usually Federal Regulatory cases come from complaints. And usually 75% of all complaints from these citizens are in fact bogus. About 25% to 35% of all complaints to regulatory bodies come

Affiliate strategies can also be difficult to execute given the amount of affiliates competing against one another. In addition, this increased competition inflates marketing costs associated to the advertising vehicles used to promote the affiliate. For example, if you plan on advertising via pay-per-click, keyword costs can be very high for generic terms thus pushing affiliates to buy keywords that carry less competition. When many affiliates go to purchase the same keywords, this in effect inflates the keyword market. Worst of all, more money for the affiliating site means that keyword costs will continue to rise.

In Part I of “Best Internet Marketing Strategies”, I described some basic guidelines for creating an effective Internet marketing strategy for product and service based business models. In this column, I would like to examine online affiliate marketing and how one can compete in the sea of affiliate arbitrageurs.

What is online affiliate marketing?

Online affiliate marketing, for the purpose of this writing, describes the act of marketing a product or service that is owned by someone else for the sole purpose of making a commission or some other satisfying equal benefit.

Generally speaking, most successful affiliate strategies employ arbitrage as a model for monetary gain. That is purchasing one resource that can be immediately resold for a profit. You probably have come across some online models such as these:

· Affiliate Networks- ClickBank or Commission Junction

· Lead Generation Networks- home, auto, medical, mortgage, etc. (www.insureme.com)

· Advertising Networks- Google’s Adsense or Yahoo!’s Advertising

Similar Strategies, Worlds Apart

Online affiliate marketing strategies are very similar to traditional product and service strategies in that the basic fundamental marketing concepts apply. One still must consider variables such as:

1. Budget
2. Regionality of market
3. Target audience
4. Core competencies
5. Website (functionality, ease of use, and conversion friendliness)

The context however differs in that the “action” takes place on the affiliate or partnering Website. Therefore, the above variables must be invariably in sync with the value proposition of your affiliate and communicate joint benefits. The Website objective on the other hand, is to seamlessly transfer prospective buyers from the partnering site to the affiliate in a way that maximizes conversion behavior. In contrast, traditional online strategies typically aim at keeping the visitor on the page and thus making the content sticky.

Benefits of Online Affiliate Marketing

One of the major benefits affiliate marketing is lowered risk. Risk in this marketing model is shifted to the affiliate whom assumes risk for ultimately creating and maintaining the sale.

Another equally attractive benefit is that partnering site is exempt from carrying any Inventory and only must focus on online marketing efforts.

Lastly, online affiliate marketing can be lucrative when successfully executed. For some Websites, this is the only source of revenue, which can even surpass the sites primary objective.

If you’re looking for the get quick riches, it’s a die-hard game that’s played best by the ones who wrote the book.

Features vs. Benefits vs. End Results
If you've been in the copywriting realm for very long at all, you've heard the phrase "features vs. benefits." It's a fundamental copywriting principle and driving force behind much of what we, as copywriters, create. But there's also another aspect to this equation.What happens after customers buy your product or service? Once they've used what you have to offer, what will be different in their lives? What will the end results, of their buying decision, be? Getting your customers to look at the end results of their actions can be an extremely powerful persuasion tool that you'll want to incorporate into your copy.Let's look at features, benefits and end results and see how all three work individually and collectively to create a

So how can I compete?

If your going to compete in the affiliate world, there are two key factors that will equal success:

1. Quantity of quality targeted traffic that provides ROI
2. Solid online objective in persuading visitors to click on your affiliate sites

The first factor relates to how relevant your audience perceives your value proposition in relation to what they are seeking. Quantity refers to the amount of targeted visitors you can attract that works to your ROI model. The most successful affiliate marketers can calculate their ROI attributed to their online marketing efforts on the micro level. Moreover, if the ROI is determined to be positive, the game quickly turns into numbers.

The second factor relates to how well your Website can persuade visitors to click on affiliate links, which in turn means commissions. However, without executing the first key factor successfully, all the traffic in the world to your affiliate will not translate into the desired outcome. Here are some things to consider when optimizing your website for your affiliate strategy:

1. Website communicates similar value proposition of the affiliating site
2. Website clearly directs traffic off site to the affiliate
3. Advertisements and marketing efforts are in sync with the website objective
4. Website is resource oriented and not “spammy”
5. Website look and feel is in keeping with competitor sites

Summary

Finding the ultimate online affiliate strategy can be challenging. After all, if it were easy, not only would everyone be doing it, they also would be making tons of money. I suggest that you first start by examining the affiliate’s chosen business model before diving in with both feet. What is their value proposition? How can you make use of that proposition, yet still be unique in the market place? (If your not, who would want to do business with you?) As I stated earlier, affiliate marketing isn’t for everyone. However, you your strategy is solid, you might find yourself writing the book for others to follow
