New Affiliate Marketing Newsletter

Before you even start out you should know if you are pointed in the right direction. One of the biggest mistakes I’ve seen new marketers on the web make is answering a need that’s not there. (I’ve done that myself often investing many hours and lots of time.) They come up with what they think is a million dollar idea, spend lots of time building a web site or marketing a product only to find no one wants it.

How do you know whether you are going in the right direction before you invest a lot of time , effort and money. Market Samurai will show you the way.

Millions of potential internet marketers either fail or beat their head against the wall without making any money because they neglect to do one thing. It doesn’t matter what you think people want or imagine they want. What matters is what they really are looking for. Lots of people, myself included have come up with what I thought was a fantastic idea that would earn me millions. Spent tons of time building a site. Tried all the promotional suggestions – social, email, etc. And still no one came.

Turns out what I thought was a million dollar idea everyone wanted – nobody wanted. Now I can hear the objections from people who say history shows that their are plenty of entrepreneurs who built something no one wanted and eventually people came around to their way of thinking and they became millionaires. I told myself the same things when I first started out.

That’s true but the part that is not generally told is that either they or the company they were working with had deep pockets to tide them over the lean years before any money came in. Secondly they had lots of time – sometimes years or even decades before thing started to click and the money started coming in.

One of the first tools you need is something to help you find out what people are really looking for. That tool will help you do what is known as keyword research. There are many tools that say they will help you do keyword research. But some are better than others. Some of them just bring up the list of keywords themselves. But the better tools do more. They analyse the keywords, tell you potentially how profitable they can be, tell you about your competition and much much more. I’ve used several keyword tools over the years and one of the best I’ve found is Market Samurai. It’s a one time purchase that entitles you to lifetime updates. During the time I’ve had Market Samurai there must have been at least 50 updates. Many of those updates increased the capability of Market Samurai. Since Market Samurai is an Adobe Air based program updates are largely automatic- you just click OK and in a few seconds the update is done.
