This can be an excellent way to get your blog to go viral, or at least attract large numbers of people who are interested in what your blog site has to say.

Have you ever seen a blog site that used a tag cloud? That’s usually a list a keywords located in the sidebar, and lists the keywords used for each post, as well as those used for the entire website, with special emphasis on the keywords that are used the most often.

Network Marketing is a business distribution model that allows a company to market their products directly to consumers by means of direct selling and referral, or word-of-mouth advertising. It differs from most other types of businesses in that there are no advertising, wholesale, or retail costs involved (no middle men!).

What do you mean by “No Middle Man”?

When companies use “middle men” they spend money, and lots of it, on things that don’t enhance the product. If they don’t have these costs, they can spend more on research and development. This means that they can produce a higher quality, more unique offering.

Another plus of the Network Marketing business plan is that some of the money that formerly went to the middle man - advertising, wholesalers, and retailers - is now available to compensate the people who actually promote the products by their word-of-mouth advertising.

This person is referred to as an associate, independent agent, or distributor. He or she is a salesperson who has their own business or distributorship. They create income by building up a customer base that buys the products directly from the parent company, or by recruiting other entrepreneurs who in turn build their own customer base, or usually a combination of both. This increases the size of the overall organization.

Associates can earn money in the form of commissions based on the efforst of their organization, which includes themselves and everyone in their downlines. These commissions are calculated based on the individual company’s compensation plan, which determines how an associate gets paid. There are usually many levels of people getting paid from one person’s sales. Also, associates can earn money by retailing products that they buy from the company at wholesale prices.

What’s the Difference Between Network Marketing and Multi-level Marketing, or MLM?

Basically, nothing! The two terms network marketing and multi-level marketing refer to 2 different aspects of the same business.

Network marketing is just how it sounds: a network, or group of people, communicate with each other and products are marketed this way.

Multi-level Marketing is how the people in the network are compensated for their efforts. It simply means that commissions are paid on multiple levels of the organization, thereby creating leverage.

And leverage is….

When you are talking about leverage in this context you are talking about earning money from somebody else’s efforts.

Obviously, this concept is used by most businesses with employees. An employee earns money for a company, and in turn is compensated with a salary, which is hopefully less that he’s bringing in. The owner of the company gets to keep the difference. So he is leveraging his income by making money off his employees.

Network Marketing compensation plans are similar in the leverage aspect, but different in one major way: There are no employees, or the associated costs and hassles. They are leveraged off other independent associates instead. These people are also going to work harder, because they own their own business and are more motivated to succeed.

Is This What’s Called a “Pyramid Scheme”?

If distributors are paid primarily from money received from new recruits, or if they’re required to buy more product than they are likely to sell, then the company may be a pyramid. Pyramids are illegal in all states and most countries. Legitimate Network Marketing companies are not only legal, but thrive in every state and in most countries.

The way to tell if a company is a pyramid scheme is if you can earn commission from sign-up fees. If there is no product or service obtained for this fee, then it’s a pyramid. All legitimate network marketing companies pay commission only on sales of the company’s products or services.

Two Good Resources For Learning More About the Industry of Network Marketing.

First is Brilliant Compensation by Tim Sales. Second is The 45 Second Presentation That Will Change Your Life by Don Faila. Both of these tools are highly recommended for your own knowledge and to show to skeptical prospects. They are both created from a third-party perspective and not for any particular company.

Would you like your link on hundreds or even thousands of websites?

Better still, would you like it FREE and FAST?

Stay tuned and I’m going to tell you “the secret”. It’s well known among some savvy marketers but completely unknown to many others.

There are a handful of Wordpress plugins which show who the top comment writers are at any blog that installs one of the plugins. Variously called Top Commentators Widget or Show Top Commentators or similar, these plugins display the name and the link of the top 10 or 20 contributors (or whatever number the blog owner sets).

And the thing is… by default the list of top commenters is shown on every page of the blog.

If this is a popular blog with a decent PageRank, you get even more benefit.

The plugins can be tuned to show who the top commentators are for the last year or month or week or day. My guess is that month is the most popular setting as it encourages posters to revisit once a month minimum.

Depending on how popular the blog is, you may be able to get onto the top commenters list with only a few posts. The plugin will often display the number of posts that these folks have contributed — so you know what the competition is and how many comments you need to contribute to get your link on the list.

But the rewards of having your name and your link in the Top Commentators list can be huge.

Take http://NicheMarketingExplained.com (PageRank 2), for example. It has 1412 posts at time of writing and has just added the Top Commentator Widget plugin. Because there are only a handful of comments right now, you could make JUST ONE comment and see your name in the list.

ACTION STEP– HOW TO GET 1412 FREE BACKLINKS NOW

All you have to do to get 1400 instant backlinks is visit the site at NicheMarketingExplained.com and contribute a comment worth reading. Dont waste your time with silly stuff.

At time of writing this, there is virtually no competition for those links AND there are many hundreds of pages at the site.

Depending on how many others have already commented, you may need to write several comments to get your link displayed in the top 20 list.

Write something worth reading and you can get over a thousand hyperlinked backlinks to your site (without nofollow). Now that’s a splendid return on effort expended, isn’t it?

TIP: The plugin will reset every 30 days, so add a note to your planner to revisit once a month. As other folks come along and post their comments, you may need to add another comment to stay on the top 20 list. So on second thoughts, you might want to drop by once a week. A quick note in your diary about that might be a good idea?

IMPORTANT

Do yourself a favor and don’t write some junky little two word comment like ‘nice site’. Webmasters can delete trashy stuff like that and the plugin I use offers several ways to ban those who write such tripe.

Say something worth reading, even if it is brief. Plan to be a contributor.

10,000 LINKS IN TWO MONTHS

Looking for motivation to get going on this?

Yesterday I ran across a post at Otooo.com where he says that in 2 months, without using article marketing to promote his site, it now has over 10K backlinks in Yahoo Site Explorer. All from using this Top Commentators strategy.

Is that motivating or what? Instant backlinks, here we come.

Everyone has something to say. Whether it’s talking about their little league team, the local hiking trails, or promoting their business, we all have a voice. Computers and the internet have opened up many doorways, and now we have many viable and reasonable avenues to be seen and heard.

When we discuss the idea of bringing your message to the world, blogging is usually the first consideration. Blogs can vary from a theme of an online diary to product reviews, opinions and tips.

There’s many free blogging sites offered on the internet these days, each with their own rules and regulations to keep each personal site within the standards of safety. The variety of themes are limited, as well as the additional features such as ads, polls, and other add on components.

Some blogging sites, like blogger, allow pay per click ads to be displayed in the blog. In fact this particular blogging community has an add-on for your site readily available for showing related google ads. Why google ads, you ask? Simple - Google owns this blogging community.

Blogging is not the only option for bringing your message to the world. There are also pods, which might be viewed as a one-time use blog. Pods are similar to blogs in the sense of the single or related theme, but don’t have as much creative space for the look of the pod or added features.

If you are more interested in your circle and not so much on world fame, you may want to check out social networking. With sites like MySpace and FaceBook you can set up your profile, including photos, and link to your friends and family who also have pages in the social network community.

These are just a few of the ways to bring your message to the world, one posting at a time. We’ll be looking at more options in finding your niche and making your presence known. Whether your purpose is sharing updates within your group or team, voicing your opinion, or even practicing your social skills, just about everyone can find their niche in the world of internet communications.

There are many online sites out there that offer you great opportunity to submit your article, but you do have to read the fine print before you decide to sign up and give up your full time comfortable job.

There are some that allow you to submit your article, and they will pay you for it if they like it and think they have a use for it.

There are some that offer you a cut of advertising dollars when you submit your article, but they don’t pay you anything upfront.

Such site usually pay very little. You may earn very little or no money at all for your trouble.

If you decide to submit your article for money, be sure you know what rights you have and what rights you are giving up.

Some sites will give you a choice if you want to retain rights to your work or if you don’t mind giving up the IP rights completely for a bit more money.

Often, it might come down to how much the article means to you or if you think you want to use it again.

There are many places online that advertise that you can submit your article for consideration, but be sure it’s a reputable and proper site.

And never ever give anything away for free unless it is to promote another venture of yours.

It is not often that an e-book is published on a certain subject, which clearly shows just how useless others already available are.

Well, with the publication of WordPress Goldmine this is just what has happened. Where most of the other affiliate marketing guides ask you to focus on finding the right product through Clickbank and the likes and then creating blog in order to market it.

With WordPress Goldmine you will find that this is not what you really need to do.

Instead through this book you will get to learn about different aspects concerning not only finding the right domain names abut also the right products to promote on your sites.

This e-book takes an in-depth look at not just the processes but also the different kinds of sites one can build.

It also provides you with live examples that actually provide the value in this e-book unlike any other. What seems to make this book so special is that those who have already used it have found it easy to follow because the author has broken it up into five separate sections.

Section one looks at the ways of using WordPress for building blogs and takes you through the various phases of not just setting up but also running your blog in the shortest amount of time.

Included within this section of the book are some bonus videos that will further help you to understand the whole process of making blogs from beginning to end.

Whilst in section two you will learn about the different kind of content you can use in your blog. Over here, the author covers everything from using PLR articles to original content. You will also find out how to get unique content posted to your blog regularly and completely for free and which will help you to develop yours in no time at all.

Over in section 4 and in this part of the book the author will explain the different methods that can be used to promote the sites that you build.

There is an easy to follow diagram in this section which lists the kinds of sites that one can utilize and which will in turn help to make yours a success rather than a failure.

Again this section is value for money simply because it is not often you will be provided with details of a traffic generation system for your site that is easy to master even for the beginner.

The final section of this book helps you to take your website promotion to a completely different level when building your site.

Although some people may find this section a little daunting, the author has included several sound warnings at the beginning of it stating that you should have in fact mastered the other sections of the book before you move on to this section.

How often do you find an e-book when published on a certain subject, clearly shows just how useless others already available are.

With the launch of WordPress Goldmine, this is exactly what has happened.

Where most of the other affiliate marketing guides ask you to focus on finding the right product through Clickbank and then creating blog to market the product.

WordPress Goldmine tells you a different thing that the typical ebooks do not tell you.

However, through this book, you will learn about the different aspects concerning not only finding the right domain names abut also the right products to promote on your web sites.

This e-book takes an in-depth look at not just the processes but also the different kinds of sites that one can build.

This book, unlike the others, actually provide real live examples.

What seems to make this book so special is that those who have already used it have found it easy to understand and follow.

This is because the author has broken the book up into five separate sections.

In section one, the author looks at the ways of building a WordPress blog, plus the steps one needs to take in order to get your blog up and running in the shortest possible amount of time.

Plus this section has some bonus videos, which can help you to understand the whole process from the beginning to the end.

You will learn how to add the contents to your blog in section 2.

In this section, the author covers everything from using PLR articles to good original content.

It also teaches how you can get unique content posted to your blog regularly and completely for free and which will help you to develop your own content in no time at all.

Note - free content but of good quality unique content.

Of all the sections, Section three is the crown jewel as far as I am concerned.

Here, the author clearly explains the different ways in which one is able to monetize a WordPress blog.

It will take a while to complete this section as the author provides indepth information on how he himself made a $15,000 income through just one blog post alone.

In fact, of all the sections of the book this is probably the one that really offers you the best value for money.

As not only does he explain how he made money himself but also shows the exact ways in which you can make money with your blog offline.

A number of plans out state that you should be able to make $$$ in just 30 days, but which are simply often not achievable.

But with this, the author explains how you could be earning an extra $1,000 per week by the end of 2008.

At section 4, you will learn the various ways to promote the sites that you have built.

In this section you will find a very easy to follow visual diagram and a list of quality sites which can make the difference between yours being a success or failure.

This section will be the most important one as it details on how you an drive traffic.

The final section of the book take your website promotion to a completely different level when building your online site.

Some may this section tough, but the author has included several warnings at the beginning of it stating that you should have at least mastered the other sections of the book before you move on to this daunting one.

When look at it as a whole, WordPress Goldmine is a superb guide to help with online affiliate marketing.

By using commonsense over unnecessary hype, it certainly made a pleasant change and could well lead to more internet marketers actually producing books of a calibre similar to this one.

Albeit WordPress Goldmine contains all 110 pages, each one of them is real value for money.

Whether you are a complete novice or have been involved in internet marketing for some time, you are going to find tips and good advice contained within these pages useful.

So, if you really want to start earning a good online income through affiliate marketing, then I will suggest that you purchase a copy of WordPress Goldmine today.
