An internet marketing strategy that works... every time!

by Blaz Banic

Have you ever wanted to buy something more than do anything else in the world at that moment?As you think about that feeling while you're reading this, you'll probably realize that it wasn't really something you needed...It was more of something you "just had to have", something that created certain feelings inside you. Something where you could see yourself owning it and feeling that certain special way you really like to feel. You might also state to yourself all the benefits of you owning what you're about to buy, looking back on this moment and thinking to yourself "Buying this product was one of the best decisions in my life!"It was that feeling that created your desire, your decision to buy this product right now. The bottom line: You don't buy what you need -- you buy what you want...If you even further analyze your decision, you probably bought that because you trusted the person or company selling it.So, to recap, these are the things that make a buying decision:* Trust for the seller* Feelings created when considering to buy -- these can be triggered by stating the benefits, creating pictures in the mind of your prospects...)So, how does this relate to affiliate marketing?Well, if the job of a webmaster is to sell a product, a job of an affiliate is to presell the products and to direct potential prospects towards that product...Quite simple. But 99.9 of all affiliates fail to recognise that. Furthermore, preselling is done in a similar way as selling. So in order for your prospects to be presold and to follow the link you recommend, you have to:a.) Earn their trustb.) Give an effective presentationOK, that is obvious, but the purpose of this article is to give you a clear blueprint of an excellent internet marketing strategy that will tell you exactly how do you earn their trust to be able to give an effective presentation...There's a certain rule in persuasion that states: "The more times a person sees you, the more your face value goes up (they find you more attractive)".Another fact comes to mind here: "A person perceived as more attractive enjoys more trust with people and is perceived as more honest". Hmmmm, I wonder how we could tie these together...The answer is...Have a way on your web site to gather your visitor's name and e-mail address. Then contact them on about weekly basis (every 5-7 days). Make sure you write quality articles and that you put your face in front of them (photograph). You can do that easily with HTML emails or if you send them a link to your site where you have a nice picture of you set up.Give your subscribers value before you try to sell them anything. I suggest you give them at least 7 valuable messages before you start promoting products. In those first 7 messages you'll build and earn their trust. Plus you'll have your "face value" go way up, thus appearing more attractive and more trustworthy.Best of all is that you can completely automate this process by setting up an autoresponder sequence. You set it up once and forget about it. Focus on other things, like how to get more visitors/subscribers to my site?By far the best autoresponder I've found and used is Aweber ( http://www.aweber.com/?209837
