Hi, this is Don. Welcome back to the EZ4Newbies Blog. Thanks for coming by again!
Most people who would like to earn money online think that affiliate marketing is very easy and that they can start to earn money without doing anything. Yes, it’s true that affiliate marking is one of the easiest ways to make money online. However, some effort is required before you can start to see your affiliate checks rolling in!
New online entrepreneurs who get into affiliate marketing with some misconceptions are easily discouraged. This article outlines the realities and facts about affiliate marketing.
- It’s essential for you to invest some money if you really want to succeed and earn big commissions. You will need to have your own website, an auto responder on your website, and also track the performance of your advertisements. Most of these items will require you to spend some money. In order to generate many sales and hence earn huge commission checks, you must drive huge volumes of traffic to your website. Depending one the advertising campaign you’ll prefer to use, you will need to pay some money for advertising.
- You will need to apply some hard work and effort to build your affiliate marketing business. This is particularly important during the early stages of starting your business, when you will need to write articles or other reports that you can use to promote your affiliate links. Blogging, participating in forums, and writing affiliate product reviews are some of the things you will need to do. Depending on your budget, there are several marketing-related steps you will need to take to advertise your website. If you have money, you can outsource some of the services you need. If you have a limited budget, it means you have to do most of the marketing activities yourself.

This means that you must keep on learning to keep yourselfup-to-date with the most effective ways for marketing online. You can interact with other affiliate marketers or you can have a very successful marketer as your mentor.

These are some of the key realities about affiliate marketing. You must fully understand them before you decide to start an affiliate marketing business.
Exit Splash – Big Splash or Little Ripple?
Have you heard about Exit Splash? If you’re like me, your inbox has been inundated (as usual) by this new product launch. What’s it all about?
Let’s take a look at this script, called “Exit Splash.” It’s a tiny, simple, yet powerful script that claims it can increase your sales by 40% and increase your opt-ins by 800%. All you have to do is just plug the Exit Splash program in to your website and you’re on your way to increased sales, conversions, and opt-ins.
How?
Exit Splash’s creators say that there’s an unseen income stream on your website. If you’re not using this particular powerful new script, they say, you’re just throwing it away. People are leaving your website and they’re not taking action.
It is well-known that visitors to your website may visit for only a few seconds and leave; that means you’re totally wasting that portion of your web traffic and not making money from it. In reality, as we all know, a majority of visitors leave without ever taking action (yeah, sad but true).
Exit Splash is a simple script you plug in your site which will send your departing visitors from their attempted exit to a redirected splash page set up with specific elements that will help monetize your business. This script works with all types of pages: sales page, landing page, squeeze page, content sites, and more.
How It Works
When someone tries leaving your site, an unblockable box pops up and gives them a reason to stay on your site. The visitor will then click to stay on your site and then will be directed to an “Exit Splash” page.
So, what is an “exit splash” page? It is a special web page that your visitor is taken to as an alternative to leaving your website. Let me sum it up:
1. Visitors go to your site
2. Exiting visitors see your message (a few will choose to leave anyway – their loss)
3. Many will continue to your exit splash page
4. Your exit splash page converts formerly wasted traffic into more sales and more subscribers
No matter what kind of site you have, people are going to leave – sometimes very fast. You only have a few precious seconds to grab their attention; if you don’t – they’re gone! The Exit Splash program gives you an opportunity to open a new line of communication with them and turn that potentially-wasted visitor into a prospect or even a sale.
Remember, the initial pop up is unblockable. It’s actually not a popup window at all, and it’s not a popover, or any other type of browser window.
Then what is it? It’s a special dialog box that is built in to practically all browsers. It is part of the internet protocol. It can’t be ignored; visitors must click on it to continue. You can put any message you want in the box and they will see it.Whether they stay or leave, they are forced to take action.
This is a powerful exit technology and it’s really simple to use. There’s no database, nothing to program, no responses to write, and no admin area to configure. You simply upload it and use it.
The downside? It may aggravate a few folks who are leaving your site. However, the gain in traffic retention offsets that easily, I believe. What do you think?
So there it is: a nice method to increase your profits, increase your conversions, and increase traffic – all with a tiny little script you plug in to your site. No hassles, no worries, and especially no more wasted visitors.
