			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As an affiliate marketer you need to learn this skill. There is no way you can go far without learning how to make a landing page. Sure people can buy landing pages and premade web sites. A nice way to cheat your way up to professional web design but after a while you start to get problems along the way. Maybe something happened and an image won&#8217;t load. Maybe the whole .index won&#8217;t load at all. Or maybe you want a new color or theme. You can either buy a landing page for another $20-$100. (jeez..) Seriously people do pay that much for a landing page and I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if someone paid for $150+ for one. Show me the page you want and I can make it without breaking a sweat. I&#8217;m still noob at web design but I can probably get the same conversion rate with a $50+ landing page</p>
<p>So if you are not lazy unlike thousands of people out there, I can teach you a thing or two on how to create one.</p>
<p>A Landing page is basically the same set up on how you would show people what you are offering. For this post I won&#8217;t go over what the contents are but I will go over in detail how to at least set one up. There are so many ways and this is the way I have mastered.</p>
<p>Things You Need</p>
<p>1) Adobe Photoshop w/ image ready</p>
<p>2) Dreamweaver (doesn&#8217;t matter which version)</p>
<p>3) Ftp (I recommend Fireftp for ease of use)</p>
<p>4) Domain / Host</p>
<p>5) Your Brain</p>
<p>First of all you need a domain and a host. I can hook you up with a good deal. I&#8217;m suppose to make around $100 with every referral but since I help everyone a lot I&#8217;m going to use up the $100 on your guys. (Free domains + disk space with package). Domain is the name of your web site. So my domain name is obviously &#8220;uselessaffiliate.com&#8221;. Domains are important because if you are selling laptops you would NOT want &#8220;potato.com&#8221;. Maybe depending on your niche you can use &#8220;laptopsonline.com&#8221;. I just threw those examples so don&#8217;t worry about clicking or checking. Domains are cheap but make sure you don&#8217;t get all those extras. Unless you are running some major web site with tons of traffic, you don&#8217;t need most of the extras. So don&#8217;t spent more than $8 for a domain. Hosting is next. This is where the domain is going to be hosted. This is basically where all your files will be located. This will normally take a day or two for everything to be approved / hosted. But for me I can set this domain and hosting in under 24hours.</p>
<p>Next is the page itself. You can use adobe photoshop to make a page. Select the size you want. I normally use 800 x 600 as a landing page. Make your design and have your banners , header..etc. etc. Make CLICKABLE BUTTONS which is where people will click and see your offer page. Something like &#8220;click here&#8221; wouldn&#8217;t be a good idea. . We will take ringtones. Select Carrier : att , verizon. Make a button for att and verizon and people will click it since that is what they will be looking for.</p>
<div id="attachment_81" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-81" title="Landingpageexample" src="http://uselessaffiliate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/lpexample.jpg" alt="lpexample How to Make a Landing Page" width="400" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This is a very basic landin page</p></div>
<p>BTW i got the image off my old blog</p>
<p>Following me so far? Now flatten image (don&#8217;t really have to) and move to image ready on photoshop. I wish I had the time to post pics but I&#8217;m short right now. Get your Slice Tool. Slice the area where people will be clicking. So slice around the att , verizon buttons you just made. Good ? Now &#8220;save optimized as..&#8221; html / images.</p>
<p>Good job you made it this far. Open up dreamweaver and open the saved file. It should be a .html file. In dreamweaver you can edit your web site title under the codes. I should go in deep details with this but you will end up getting bored and click the &#8220;x&#8221; on your browser. Dreamweaver is where you can add all the codes you want and text. All set? Now save in dreamweaver. Make sure the web page is index.html. When you do this, it will tell the browser to open up that file and load everything. There has been so many times where people don&#8217;t do it and get an error. Everything is up but the browser will search the directory and we like.. uh-oh no index.html and will error.</p>
<p>Open up firefox and go to fireftp. This is where logins sucks. You will get many values and you will be like WTF is ftp. Well for ftp just use ftp.yourwebsite.com. Username and password is the username you given access to the web site. This step is hard for most people but you just have to go back and remember what the ftp access account you set up was. Now you should had been able to connect. Under the web site folder which is &#8220;yourwebsite.com&#8221; open it. Now drag your index.html and images in that folder. MAKE SURE that you upload in public_html but if you don&#8217;t have it just upload it to the root or where the FTP takes you. This is just a common problem that messes everyone up because of different hosing.Open another window or tab in firefox and see if your web site loads. It should had loaded if not there is like 100s of things to check but usually its not a problem. As long as its index.html.</p>
<p>And there you VERY VERY basic FAQ on how to make a landing page..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the beginning I had a hard time figuring out what stuff meant. It seems that once people start making money and blog like me, they neglect to know the vocabulary. Everybody just assumes that everyone who is reading their blog knows what CTR means. Well I&#8217;m sorry but not everyone knows the meaning. Don&#8217;t feel like such a newbie because we all started out like that. Sometimes I read a blog and I still need to google what the term they are using is. This post might be one of my &#8220;Useless Posts&#8221; but I made it specially for newbies. Well here we go. And if you still don&#8217;t understand, feel free to drop a comment or send me an email and I will further explain it. Its all self-explanatory but everyone learns in different ways. Maybe you learn by definition and somebody else learns by demonstration. Either way I hope this post helps at least one person.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Advertiser -</strong> The person who is trying to make a few bucks by driving traffic through a web site through promotion. You are promoting an offer and you will get $$ if a customer buys it.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Advertisement &#8211; </strong>This is seen all around you. It is an attractive picture/video that helps lures the customer so they will buy the product.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Affiliate &#8211; </strong>This is YOU. Someone who is the middle man. You help get the merchant some customers and you will get a certain amount of commission depending on the product/ offer.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Affiliate Link </strong>- This is the link that is specially made for you so if a customer buys the product you will get credit from their sale or lead. There are ways to cloak your affiliate link from the customer and from the publisher so only you know the information.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Affiliate Manger </strong>- Once you sign up with a network, you will be assigned an affiliate manager. Somebody who will give you advice and tips on which offers to run. Word of caution, they can even steal all your traffic and commission if they know your keywords and referrer links. Don&#8217;t worry there are ways to hide the referrer links.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Affiliate Fraud -</strong> The amount of revenue that was obtained illegally under the TOS of the affiliate program.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Affiliate Tracking </strong>- These track your keywords so you know which keyword is converting to make you money. There are many keyword tracking software. Some are free and some cost money. I would recommend</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://prosper202.com/apps/"><img class="size-full wp-image-43 aligncenter" title="Tracking202" src="http://uselessaffiliate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/125x125_blue.gif" alt="125x125 blue Affiliate Marketing Dictionary " width="125" height="125" /></a></p>
<p><a class="aligncenter" title="Prosper202.com" href="http://prosper202.com/apps/">http://prosper202.com/apps/</a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Well it helped me a lot and I talked to the creator.  He could had made a lot of money off this but he made it free so the least I can do is post it on my blog.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">CTR (Click Through Ratio) -</span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small;"> The amount of clicks divided by the total number of visits. You want this number as high as possible. The CTR is traffic goes to search for your web site and it&#8217;s the amount of how many of them clicked to get into your web site.  In simple words, out of XX many people, what is the ratio that would click a link. </span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>EPC (Earnings Per Click) -</strong> The earnings per 100 clicks. It would be nice to see this one the product you are selling because it shows if there is potential in the product or not.  Every 100 there will be an average that the traffic is turned into sales. </span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Commission</span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small;"> &#8211; The amount of revenue that an affiliate earns that&#8217;s paid by the publisher. It can be a lead or a sale. Most of the time, commission at the sales level is always going to be a certain %. However in lead it is a fixed value.</span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Recurring  Commissions &#8211; </strong>Commission that is paid to an affiliate if a customer pays for reoccurring costs. For example, phone service, internet hosting, domains. <strong> </strong></span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Unique Click &#8211; </strong>A click that is new to the web site or web page.  It is tracked by IP address.</span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">ROI </span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">(</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Return on Investment)- As affiliate marketers, we use this as a main guide to see if we are profiting in a campaign. We as pay per click marketers, pay for each click if somebody clicks. We are hoping that the Costs of clicks is less than the amount of commission we will earn. So Revenue &#8211; Total Click Expense = Net gain / Net loss.</span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Residual Earnings</span></strong> / <strong>Residual Income</strong> &#8211; We love this terms because when you market online, you get the joy of having this type of income. It is the income that is made by an affiliate that keeps on reoccurring for a certain period of time if not, for life.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Super Affiliates &#8211; </span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">I hope one day I become one. This is the top 1% of affiliates that are earning a large sum of money. </span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Impression</span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small;"> &#8211; The amount of times an advertisement like a banner was viewed.</span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Minimum Payout &#8211; </strong>The amount of revenue that is required to get paid by the affiliate program. Once minimum payment is reach the affiliate has to wait for the ending payment period to request payroll.<br />
</span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Net 15</strong> <strong>Pay -</strong> This is common practice of many affiliate programs. As you occur revenue and you reach minimum payout and the end of the payment period, they pay you 15 days later.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>NET 30 Pay &#8211; </strong>As you occure revenue and minimum payout is reached by the end of the payment period, you get paid 30 days later<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Email Marketing &#8211; </strong>The method to lure customers into purchasing a product or offer through the use of email service. In my opinion this does NOT work well and usually marked as SPAM.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>SEO</strong> (Search Marketing Optimization ) &#8211; The process of creating a purpose on the internet! Basically the point of SEO is to get to the top 10 rank of that niche on google.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Domain Name</strong> &#8211; The name of a web site that represents itself on the internet. Think of it has somebody&#8217;s name. For example : Uselessaffiliate.com is my name name<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Domain Hosting</strong> &#8211; The place where a Domain name is directed to become active. The hosting is like the body and life of the domain name.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">WOW that was a lot..however I will be updating this as time goes by. If there is anything wrong please let me know.<br />
