AFFILIATE SIGN UP PAGE

Affiliate sign-up page – This is the page where you will be sending potential affiliates to try and convince them to sign up to promote your product. Therefore, this is also a sales page, thought much smaller than your landing page. You should set up an account with an auto responder such as GetResponse or AWeber to capture affiliate names and email addresses, which will allow you to contact them when you have new affiliate tools, product updates, milestones, etc. to share with your Team. Feel free to check out one of our affiliate sign up pages here.

Although ClickBank is manages commission tracking and payments to affiliates the professionals use additional affiliate management software where you can sell multiple ClickBank products from one ClickBank account (pays for itself after a few products). I use easyClickMate ClickBank Affiliate Management Tool, which also provides the affiliate tools page; automatically send email to affiliates for each sale, and tracking information. The most important benefit of this software, in my option, is that your affiliates have to sign up to access the affiliate tools, so you have their name and email address so that you can communicate with them about current and future products.

AFFILIATE TOOLS EXAMPLE

Affiliate tools page – This is your opportunity to help your affiliates with their promotion campaign. The quality and quantity of tools you provide to your affiliates will affect how many affiliates sign up and promote your product. You should have your website designer require that the affiliates use their ClickBank nickname for their users name to log into auto responder and automatically populate their ClickBank nickname into all the affiliate tools that you offer. This will save your affiliates time and they will appreciate that.

You should also host your affiliate banners on your own servers and provide the code to your affiliates so that your server space is used to serve up banner ads rather than using your affiliate server space. Many affiliates are concerned with the amount of bandwidth they use each month. To see an example of an affiliate page check out the manual below.

MINI SITE DESIGN SPECIFICS AND & SAMPLE CONTENT

A mini site is not just a single sales page with a buy now button. Google slams these sites with poor Adwords Quality Scores, which results in high pay per click costs. The navigation links to these pages should be located in an inconspicuous place on your home/sales page to prevent taking attention away from the reader. The typical location is on the bottom of the website in the footer. The pages that every mini site should have are described below.

FREE PRIVACY POLICY PAGE TEXT

Privacy Policy – A professional website should have a privacy policy, and that will keep Google happy, so spend a few minutes and post one on your mini site and link to it from your sales page at the bottom in your website footer. You can move the navigation bar anywhere you like on the rest of the website, but keep it out of sight on the sales page so that you don’t distract the reader from acting on your call to action.

You can use a privacy policy offered free at Free Website Legal Documents or you can modify one for your specific website more tailored to meet Google requirements at Macuha. If you plan to use this policy, I recommend that you capture the screen shot showing that the website owner is offering the use of his policy and keep it filed for your own protection.

FREE DISCLAIMER PAGE TEXT

Disclaimer – If you are promoting a product that claims that you have made money using this product or that your buyer will make money with your product, you need an earnings disclaimer. For a starting point, you can use the information at Free Website Legal Documents.

Click on WordPress in the left navigation bar and:

• Click “Add New Installation” in box on right.

• Fill in information required. If you wish the blog to be on the homepage of the domain that you purchased (i.e. www.mynewdomain.com) then leave the second box empty. If you wish to add it to www.mynewblog.com/blog then only type blog into the second box.

• Fill in the remaining information required. You may want to consider using the same username and password and email address for all blogs, as things can get confusing as you ramp up to be a prolific blogger.

Register your domain name at one of the popular domain registration websites. Make the domain as short as possible with your keyword/phrase and use a Top Level Domain. The best real estate on the Internet is and always will be .com, so consider this when buying a domain name.

The practice of adding hyphens to a domain name is still being debated.

Pros include:

• Easier to obtain a domain name as hyphens increase the number of possibilities using the same key phrase.

• Potentially better for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as the hyphen clearly separates the keywords to reduce the possibility that the search engines confuse your keywords. This possibility is greatly reduced with the ever improving search engine software

Cons include:

• Difficult to communicate a domain with hyphens. Imagine telling someone to go to NewMarketHurricanes.com compared to new-market-hurricanes.com.

• Considered less important and sometimes spammy by many people.

• Longer domain with hyphens.

• Increased number of available domains when using numbers with your keywords, but it can add confusion to search engines (is it 1 or one?), and it rarely “rolls off the tongue” or is memorable.

The below is a step by step guide to setting up your domain name, hosting account, and blog. Instructions are based on the more popular providers of each service.

Go to GoDaddy.com, or your favorite domain registration company, and register your domain name. Set up a web hosting package.

SETTING UP WEBHOSTING STEPS

Go to UltraWebsiteHosting.com, or your favorite hosting company, and set up an Ultra Hosting Plan or an Ultra Reseller Plan. The Reseller Plan gives you 10 GBs of disk space and 400 GBs for as many websites as you wish, and it is quite simple to use. Bookmark the log in URL so that it is easy to find in the future.

Creating Website buying a domain name

CHOOSING A DOMAIN NAME

The number one rule here is to choose carefully; because a good one will help you rank more highly in the search engines. Short domain names work best, but you should try and use either the complete title of your eBook or a segment of it that makes sense and includes relevant keywords relating to the subject of your book. It will get you some cheap (i.e. free) hits from the search engines once your site has been indexed.

Okay, so that much we know. What else should you bear in mind when you are thinking about which domain name to go for?

It’s worth reiterating what I said much earlier in the book about sticking to the dot com suffix when you choose your domain name. The dot com suffix is regarded as being a global site, and since you are selling eBooks you will want to make sure that people aren’t left in any doubts about the global appeal your book has.

If you use a .co.uk name, or a .com.au name, or any other variation, then people might make the wrong assumption that your book is only aimed at people in those countries. Worse still, they might assume it is a tangible paperback book, and you will only mail it to people in your own country.

So go global and make sure everyone knows they are welcome to buy a copy.

HYPHEN OR NO HYPHEN?

Before you rush into choosing a domain name, think about how it will look.

One of the biggest questions that people ask is whether they should put hyphens in between the words the domain name is made up of. Of course this only applies if you have more than one word in between the www and the dot com parts.

For example www.example.com doesn’t need hyphens anyway. But what about www.thisisanexample.com? What would you do there? Would www.this-is-an-example.com be better?

There is no right or wrong answer to this, but I know which one I prefer. If you want to know which one I hate the most, try typing those two web addresses out right now on your keyboard. Which one is the faster one to type? And which one takes ages and usually results in you having to hunt your way around the keyboard to type it in?

For my money I wouldn’t use hyphens because it makes the web address look very long and clunky. And if you take a look at plenty of big name businesses online, you will find that the majority of them don’t use hyphens either.

And it’s not just because of the hassle it creates in typing it into the address bar in your browser either. Let’s say you’re talking to someone about your website and they want to know what the address is. Which one of the following things would you rather say?

1.     “Oh yes, my website is called www dot this is an example dot com…”, or

2.     “Oh yes, my website is called www dot this hyphen is hyphen a hyphen example dot com…”

My guess is that if you had chosen the second example, they would have walked away halfway through you trying to get the sentence out!

The moral here is that you should always write down your domain name and say it out loud before you actually buy it. If you don’t, you might regret it later on. About the only time that a hyphen is okay is if you only have two words in your domain name. Then it can work, but if you can get away without them, you’re better off doing so.
