What is paypal?

As an online marketer you should know about Paypal. What is it? You can get more info by visiting their website.
www.paypal.com. basically it is a safer way for you to buy stuffs online. no need to expose your credit card no but using the paypal id instead.

there are so many website that accept payment from paypal. you can have you paypal account for free but to verify the account you need to link a credit/debit card to your paypal account.I used my nexg prepaid mastercard to verify mine.

Click Bank and Commission Junction

Here i just want to introduce to you the two biggest affiliate program on the internet- Click Bank (CB) & Commission Junction (CJ).

May be most of you already heard about CB before.I think it's more popular compare to CJ. So what so special about CB? The products. You'll not find any physical products. All is digital such as ebook and software. People like to buy this kind of products online as they can get it almost instantly after payment.

It's free to sign up with CBT he problem is that CB is not available for Malaysians. However, there's a way how to solve that which involve a certain amount of money.if you want to learn further you can buy the ebook Chapter M.

CJ is available for Malaysians. You can find a lot more products inside CJ as it is not limited to digital products. You can sign up free.but i'm not so familiar with CJ.It seems like CJ doesn't have more popularity compare to CJ. I'll update this post later when i find out more about it.

How I got my Nexg Prepaid Mstercard

on 17 Feb 2008, I went to Ambank branch at Berjaya Times Square.There was a chinese staff sitting at the query table. I asked for Ambank Nexg Prepaid Mastercard but it was not available there.She said they only have Ambank Nexg iTalk - Combination of Prepaid Mastercard and iTalk. I thought it was just ok to have iTalk inside it also. May be i need it later. So, i bought the starter pack for RM30 with RM10 credit for iTalk.There was also RM 50 starter pack with RM 30 iTalk credit.

while I filled out a form, she asked for my IC and photocopied it. After everything was done, she told me to wait for 5 working days and then call the customer service centre for activation.On 22 feb, i called the service centre but the operator said i have to wait for another 2 working days.

I called again on 27 feb but all the operators were busy that morning.To assure the card was active, i went to ambank branch at Kota Bharu and toped up RM 250 into the card. The deposit machine recognize my nexg card. So, i assumed it was already active.That night i used it to buy a domain and web hosting service with iPowerWeb. It worked!! Here is the domain (www.afjunktion.com*)

No credit card? No worry

To register with google adwords, you need to have a credit card. You will also need it when you want to buy a website or any other ebooks that will help you in your business.

However, not all of us afford to have one.It is too risky also.We don't want to get in debt with credit card company.So, the best alternative is to use debit card or prepaid card (not to top up your mobile credit, hehe). Both can be used like credit card but the different is that you have to pay first before you can use it.For credit card, you use first then you pay later.

Where to get the card?

Remember, we want the card can be used for online payment.BSN Matrix card, for example, is an atm + debit card but it cannot be used online.Initially i tried to use al-rajhi debit card because people find it good. I open an account with al-rajhi bank and got the card on spot! I was so happy.Later, i found out that it is not so flexible. May be i'll try to tell this story later.Let's go straight to the point.

Disappointed with al-rajhi, i made more research on two other popular cards- Public Bank debit card and ambank nexg prepaid mastercard.I wanted to have the card as soon as possible, so i chose ambank nexg prepaid mastercard.It's fast and easy to get.Just go to the nearest ambank branch and get the starter pack for just RM30.

I got the card after 2 weeks waiting for activation.Honestly i will say public bank debit card is better but you'll need at least one month to get the card.

Google Adwords - Introduction

I don't care how good you are.But I know that you won't be that good if you don't have any experience spending money online.I have told you before that you might need to spend some money for your promotion. This is to ensure that you will get quality visitors or prospects to your website. People who has interest in your product and they might buy the products that you are selling.

Where to find those prospects?

Let me introduce you to Google Adwords. The most reliable place where you can advertise your business and get tons of super quality prospects to see your products. Google Adwords is one of the most popular pay-per-click program.Others include yahoo! Marketing and MSN.

How par-pey-click program works?

You can guest just by look at the meaning of the term "pay-per-click".You have to pay certain amount of money for every click that you get.If people don't click at your ad, you don't have to pay. That's the rule.

You ad will appear as sponsored link in google search results.You can see it now.Go to google.com, search for "fishing".When the results come out you will see a sponsored link area on top and on right of the page.That's where your ad will appear.

One thing so great about google Adwords is that you can control your budget. You'll learn more about google adwords later.I just want you to have a brief idea about it.

Affiliate- Practical work 2

Now you are an affiliate.Remember, you'll get nothing as an affiliate if you don't do your job.What's your job?You should know the answer.PROMOTE or MARKET the product to the people.Here you'll learn about the basic concept to start your promotion.Let's continue with the affiliate program that we've joined before.

Let me ask you one question.Do you think you'll make more sales selling a medical book to engineering students? Even if you manage to promote the product to thousands of people,they won't buy if they are not interested.So you need to find your target group!!

Back to our affiliate program.Our product is friendblasterPro.A software which is used in myspace to add many friends automatically into myspace account.Now you might be thinking who is interested to buy the software.Got the answer?? Yes,absolutely correct.Our target group should be myspace users.Now you can create your myspace account and start promoting friendblasterPro.(You can download the free trial of the software and send message or friend request,but limited to 50 per day only).

Friendster , myspace or any other free internet community is a good way to promote for FREE.But make sure you really involve in the forum or egroup because people have more trust with people they 'know'.Don't just join a forum, leave your advertisement (ad) and forget about it.Waste of time.
