I’m going to go out on a limb and say that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to make money online. You don’t have to create a product or develop a service, you don’t need huge amounts of focused traffic the way you do with AdSense, (I started using AdSense a year ago and just recently passed the $100 minimum payout), and you don’t need to do a ton of advertising or SEO to make it work.

All you really need is an audience to whom you can refer products and services.

Of course, the above statement is true in the same way it’s true that you only need food, water, and shelter to live. It’s technically accurate — but personally, I’d like to have Netflix and a few Twix bars, too.

I made around $20,000 in my first six months from affiliate marketing, and the following are a six tips I’ve found that will take you from bare bones to a legit affiliate income.

1. Establish trust

Technically, you can make a few bucks here and there even by tossing out links to people who don’t know and/or like you. I think of these as “cookie toss” sales, because most affiliate setups dictate that each time a person clicks on an affiliate link, that affiliate’s cookie (which identifies the customer as “belonging” to that affiliate) overwrites any previous cookies on the customer’s computer. If you’re on Twitter during a launch and toss out a bunch of affiliate links for the product that everyone is promoting, there’s a chance that your link will be the last link someone uses before buying. You didn’t really refer the sale; you lucked into it.

A far better way to go is to actually have some credibility with your readers, audience, and peers. If you have a blog, work on building bulletproof trust with your readers. If you’re on Twitter, tweet with some integrity, and be a real person rather than a selling drone. If your people like and respect you, they will believe you when you say a product or service is worth buying.

2. Promote only products you honestly believe in

Don’t be a shill. Once you start promoting as an affiliate, you’ll quickly discover how many things are out there to promote. If you hop on every one, your people will turn away because they’re always being sold to. Worse, they won’t believe that your recommendations have any merit because you’ll recommend anything. There are plenty of good things out there, so be a true “raving fan” of a product you like rather than a hawker.

3. Don’t promise the moon (i.e. tell the truth)

No product or service is perfect, so don’t pretend it is. There is a strong tendency (especially in online marketing) to oversell. Everybody’s course will triple your income in two days; every program is guaranteed to whiten your teeth and wax your new Ferrari while filling your hot tub with supermodels. People are smarter than to believe the BS, so don’t feed it to them. (And as a bonus, if you tell the truth, you’ll sleep better at night.)

If you want to go really nuts with this principle, you can take the contrarian’s approach like I did when I promoted a course by pointing out its foibles and the fact that you may well totally fail online. (By the way, I ended up being the top-selling affiliate for that course.)

5. Disclose your affiliate relationships

This really isn’t a bonus item anymore, actually. The Federal Trade Commission is now saying that bloggers must disclose that they will make money if people buy through their affiliate links.

The good news is that disclosure can be a good thing if you’ve established trust already. Loyal readers won’t care that you’ll benefit if they believe that your praise of the product is honest, or if they were planning to buy anyway.

6. Offer bonuses

This is a great one. Recently, I offered to give my $297 Zero to Business program to anyone who used my affiliate links to buy Copyblogger’s Teaching Sells course, which I honestly think is spectacular. Because my course added almost $300 in value to their purchase, customers loved it. And because the commission for Teaching Sells exceeded the price of Z2B, I loved it.

I think the biggest, simplest key to affiliate marketing is honesty and integrity. If you lie, yes, you may make sales — but those people who were lied to will never buy through you again. If on the other hand you build relationships and tell the truth, affiliate marketing results in a natural synergy. You refer people to good products that they will enjoy and benefit from. When they buy, you benefit, too. And when they benefit, they come back to thank you from the referral. In all likelihood, they’ll trust your future recommendations in the future — and then everyone benefits again.

Hey, it beats a plain old “food, shelter, and water” existence, right?

Below are instructions to back up your WordPress Site and your WordPress Database. In addition, support is provided online at the WordPress Support Forum to help you through the process.

Making backups is essential because problems inevitably occur and you need to be in a position to take action when disaster strikes. Spending a few minutes to make an easy, convenient backup of your database will allow you to spend even more time being creative and productive with your website.

This is a guest post from Leo Babauta of Zen Habits, and author of the best-selling book The Power of Less. Leo has just released a free report for bloggers called How I Got 100,000 Subscribers in Two Years: Lessons from Zen Habits.

One of the things I’m proudest of at Zen Habits is not that I’ve grown a large readership for my blog, but that I’ve developed a very rewarding relationship with many of my readers.

It’s nothing you might call inappropriate (or illegal), mind you, but it’s vastly rewarding.

Because of this relationship, writing for Zen Habits is an amazingly positive experience, because my readers are so encouraging. Even more importantly, they contribute to my blog with their thoughtful comments, their criticism, their experiences, in ways I never could have imagined. They make my blog what it is.

And from a blogger’s perspective, there’s no better thing. Having such a genuine, engaging relationship with my readers means that they want to help me, in any way they can — they’re willing to buy and read my books, they want to follow my updates on Twitter, they want to talk to me and ask me questions, and that leads to all kinds of interesting things. I never planned for this to happen, but now that it has, I recommend it to all bloggers.

I think it can be consciously cultivated, just like any relationship. I did it less-than-consciously, just because I enjoyed conversing with my readers and trying to be of use, and I’m a naturally positive person. But you can do it consciously if you like, and I believe if you do it genuinely, it’ll be a genuine relationship.

That’s an important point to remember: you can’t fake this stuff. If you are just pretending to care about your readers, if you don’t really want to talk to them, they’ll feel that. They’re smarter than many people give them credit for.

Here are my suggestions for building a genuine relationship with your readers, based on my experiences:

1. A genuine relationship starts with you — you have to take responsibility for it. You can’t expect your readers to automatically be encouraging, supportive, kind, positive, loyal, helpful, and generous … just because you’re the awesome person you are. So start with a positive mindset, and be willing to work on the relationship, be open to what emerges.

2. Make your posts as helpful and useful as you can. Your posts shouldn’t just be about you, and how great you are (as true as that may be), but about your readers and their problems, and how you can help them solve them. Really try to help your readers in some way in every post. They will appreciate it.

3. Be helpful and positive in all interactions. In every comment you respond to, in every email with a reader, in every interaction on forums and Twitter and other social networks, you should try to be positive, try to be helpful, and try to build your relationship in some way. It’s the same when you build a friendship or working relationship with a co-worker, isn’t it? Being online doesn’t change how relationships are built — if you are always critical, defensive, offensive, attacking, sarcastic … well, that’s the kind of relationship you’ll have. If you’re just trying to sell stuff to people all the time, it won’t be a genuine relationship.

4. Encourage discussion in comments. You aren’t the only person who has good ideas or knowledge, so ask your readers to contribute their thoughts, to share their experiences, to add tips of their own. I like to do that at the end of a post, but even if I don’t, readers understand that I want this stuff by now. When readers give comments, thank them, respond to their questions and thoughts, interact. Sometimes, it’s good to get discussions going by asking reader questions in an “Ask the Readers” post — just pose a question and ask them to respond in the comments.

5. Accept criticism with grace. Bloggers have to have a thick skin, because inevitably we will be criticized. It’s the nature of the Internet, or any discussion of ideas actually — there is always criticism, and sometimes it’s harsh. And it can hurt. You get angry, or defensive, and when you respond to criticism in this way it’s not a good thing: 1) you look immature and defensive; 2) it discourages an open and frank discussion; and 3) you harm your relationship with your readers. Instead, thank your readers for their criticism, respond positively, and sometimes, acknowledge that they may be right. Because a lot of the time, they are, but our egos are too wounded for us to admit it to ourselves. Read more: How to accept criticism with grace and appreciation.

6. Build relationships in other channels. Having discussions in blog comments is great, but there are other ways to build relationships — through email, on Twitter, on Facebook, in forums (maybe even your own forums). While I can’t possibly respond to all the email I get now, I certainly did when my blog first started out, even when I had 10K subscribers — I tried to answer every question or thank them for every kind email. I miss that level of personal interaction, but I still try to connect with readers on Twitter and in comments. It’s a great way to take the relationship to another level.

7. Give back on other blogs. Many times, readers and commenters on your site will be fellow bloggers — which is actually how blogs emerged when they went beyond a log of interesting web links: they became a way to have a larger discussion on the web, as bloggers linked to each other and commented on each other’s posts. And so as other bloggers comment on and link to your posts, do the same for them. Go to their blogs, comment on their posts, link to them now and then if it’ll be useful to your readers. Write guest posts for them and invite them to do the same. Share their posts on Twitter if you like them. Building relationships with other bloggers is a great way to become immersed in the wonderful community of bloggers, and to build a relationship with some of your most active readers.

Download The Pro Version Now For $129.95 $89.95

I use Wordpress on many of my websites and feel that the installation isn’t complete without some specific plugins that I always install with every copy. I also keep a copy of each one of the plugins so that even if the website on which they were available gets discontinued for any reason, I would still have them with me.

Here is a list of my top 10 Wordpress plugins:-

1. Google XML Sitemaps

An excellent plugin that generates XML sitemaps for your blog and lets the search engines index your blog quickly.

2. All in One SEO Pack

This plugin lets your put titles, descriptions, keywords in all your individual posts and is extremely handy for SEO.

3. WP-Cache

Wordpress is one blogging CMS that can bring any kind of server to its knees and is notorious for its high CPU usage. WP-Cache plugin lets you cache your blog pages for faster access. Earlier this plugin was not included with the Wordpress installation but now it installs along with Wordpress and all you have to do is activate it.

4. Cforms II

Cforms is a convenient way to add quick feedback/contact forms to your website. The plugin allows you to have multiple forms which you can call from anywhere using a piece of code.

5. My Page Order

Using this plugin, you can manually set order to all your pages and sub-pages. It arranges the page names in an AJAX list from where you can move the pages up and down. The inbuilt page ordering system of Wordpress is not very maneuverable and this plugin was developed to overcome that drawback.

6. Sidebar Page (and other sections)

How many times have you wanted to rename those text widgets for easy identification? This plugin lets you do just that and also create unlimited number of widgets.

7. No-ping Wait

When posting news to your blog, this plugin can handle all the ping load effectively. If you have a long ping list, this plugin will remove the delay between your posts.

8. Adsense Deluxe

A perfect solution to integrate Google Adsense into your blog. This plugin enables you to create different Adsense blocks and allows placing them within your template or individual posts.

9. Exec-PHP

A real godsend. Allows you to place and execute any PHP code within your posts.

10. Admin Drop Down Menu

When navigating the admin menu in Wordpress, this plugin lets you reach any admin page in one click, instead of first clicking on the first level link (”Manage” for example) and then only on a sub-menu link (”Comments“). Very helpful.

This post explains you how to add Scrolling text(also called as marquee)to your blog sidebars,blog posts,etc.
Another way to attract the visitors is adding some decoration to the site like scrolling text,etc.But,don’t decorate it too much,particularly if your site contains too much text as it irritates and spoils the concentration of the reader.You can add scroll bars to tell your visitors what will be your next updates,popular posts,advertisements,etc.

So,how to add the scrolling text in your blog,let me explain it:

Adding simple scrolling text:
Here is the code to add a simple scrolling text from right to left side

<marquee>code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
The output will be like:
Example 1:

code to simple scrolling text

If you want some more attraction,then try these,

Add a background color to the text,
<marquee bgcolor=”#99CCFF”>code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
Example 2:

code to simple scrolling text

You can choose your background colour by replacing the hexadecimal code(#99ccff).
Click here to see the codes of the different colors.

Here are some mode attributes to learn:

The above attributes tells the text which direction to scroll.
Use the code below:
<marquee direction=”right” bgcolor=”#99CCFF”>code to simple scrolling text</marquee>

Here is are some examples:
To scroll in the ‘right’ direction:
Example 3:

code to simple scrolling text

Example 4:
To scroll in the ‘up’ direction:

code to simple scrolling text

Example 5:
Downwards:(I changed the hexa decimal codes for different colours)

code to simple scrolling text

few more attributes:
You can add this attribute to alternate the text
behavior=”alternate”
Here is the code to do this:
<marquee behavior=”alternate” direction=”down” bgcolor=”#33FFCC”>code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
Example 6:

code to simple scrolling text

You can also set the speed of the text with this simple attribute:
scrollamount=”2″
The lower the scrollamount value, the less the speed it moves,
the html code for this:
<marquee behavior=”alternate” direction=”left” bgcolor=”#9999CC” scrollamount=”2″>code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
example 7:(for scrollamout =2)

code to simple scrolling text

Example 8:(for scrollamount=5)

code to simple scrolling text

Pausing the text when mouse is over the text:
It is very useful when the reader wants to read the text,and the scrollamount is big,sothat he will put the mouse over the text to pause the text and read the matter:
Here is the code to do this
<marquee behavior=”alternate” direction=”left” bgcolor=”#CCCCCC” onmouseover=”this.stop()” onmouseout=”this.start()” scrollamount=”2″ scrolldelay=”50″> code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
Example 9:

code to simple scrolling text

(place the mouse over the text to test it)
Changing the text colour:
Here is the code to change the text colour:(Add it before the marquee tag)
<span style=”#FFFFFF”>
So, the code looks like this
