Admit it … selling something online, from the comfort of your own home office, would be great. More specifically, selling something from your own home office that you don’t have to stock, that you don’t have to ship, and where you don’t have to deal with customers would be great. This sounds like the perfect job, doesn’t it?
But what if you have nothing to sell? Let’s say you’re not an author, and you are not a professor, nor do you manufacture anything. Can you still produce money by selling things part time from home?
Yes, and it’s called Affiliate Marketing. And it works something like this:
A person registers with some company’s (merchant’s) Affiliate Program (retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Vonage, etc). This person then “drives” or “refers” Internet traffic to these merchants. When a referred visitor purchases some product, say a book or allotment of software, the person who referred the visitor is paid a commission for generating the sale.
The person or company that owns the product will be responsible for stocking it, getting it to the customer and dealing with any customer service issues. You, as the affiliate, have nothing more to do with the transaction except cashing your check. What a job!
You’re first step is to decide what to market.
Deciding what to market has been made a lot easier by the emergence of Affiliate Networks. Affiliate Networks are also know as “Pay for Performance Networks” or “Marketing Solutions Providers”. They all provide basically the same service, which is to allow affiliates to search for and market the products of the companies (“merchants”) in their network.
The process works basically like this:
1. A person who wishes to sell something signs up with an Affiliate Network. They now become an “affiliate”.
2. The affiliate searches or browses the Affiliate Network for products that they think they might be able to sell.
3. When the affiliate finds a product they want to sell, they are given their own “affiliate link” to the website where a customer can purchase the product. This link is encoded with the affiliate’s uniquely identifying number.
4. The affiliate sends or “drives” potential customers to the company’s website via their affiliate link.
5. If a customer purchases the product then the affiliate gets credit for that sale and earns a commission.
6. At the end of the pay period (defined by the Affiliate Network) a single paycheck consolidating all commissions for all products sold is issued to the affiliate.
“Driving” customers to the company’s website is where the real fun resides. There are two main methods for driving online traffic to these companies:
• Compose a large or miniature website. Place various links, banners, and products on this website. When your visitors click through on these links and purchase a product you will get a commission.
• Send potential customers directly to the companies using Pay-Per-Click (PPC) networks. When these people purchase a product you will get a commission.
It takes more time to build a website with all of the affiliate links. However, you can use your website to “pre-sell” the company and/or products that you are promoting. In addition, you can capture the email addresses of your visitors. These can be customary later to offer more products and generate even more sales. Luckily, there are software programs available that can earn building a website a breeze. Learn more about it at Web Designing and List Building .
Affiliate Networks are free to join.
They originate their money by charging the merchants a percentage of their sales. Some networks will allow just about anyone to join, while others are more particular … maybe requiring that you beget a website that receives a certain number of visitors each month.
Some of the most popular Affiliate Networks are:
• ClickBank
• ShareASale
• LinkShare
ClickBank is one of the easy ones to join. They offer mostly downloadable products (i.e.; ebooks, software, etc.). They also allow you to browse their product directory before you signup. In addition, affiliates are not required to even own a website to join. That makes this a perfect starting point. Learn about more Affiliate Networks here.
You can do affiliate marketing full or part time
One great aspect of this business is that you can put as little or as much time into it as your schedule allows. Many people start by impartial doing a few hours a week after work or on weekends. Just have fun with it and the money will come!
Much, much more…
This has impartial been a very basic overview of affiliate marketing. For those people who want to grow this into a full-time “at-home” business there is much more they can learn to do. Topics such as ad placement, search engine optimization, link building, auto-responders and others are very important. Please visit Affiliate Sphere for a complete overview.

The Internet really is a powerful medium, it gives swear to the average consumer, and levels the playing field for small companies. No longer is having a big marketing budget key (not that it mild doesn’t work) but a good clever ad will out-sell a “carpet-bombing” ad-campaign any day. Here are 5 simple ways you can integrate an online marketing campaign on a show-string budget and some spare time.
1) Facebook
Facebook is a social-media website used the world over for people to keep in contact with their friends, family and co workers. Not only that but users utilize the site to understanding events, share content and communicate, as well as play games to kill time . As a business we can take advantage of this virtual market place and draw in new customers, as well as increase the volume of sales to current customers.
There are two key ways for a business to use facebook: fan pages and account creation.
The first, and most simple way requires a basic facebook account. From there all you need to do is type in “Pages” on the search bar and click on the “Ads and Pages” application. Click “Create a page” and fill out all the needed info, then suggest the page to friends. The “fan-page” basically works as a stand alone story, however it can’t message or add users itself, but people can suggest their friends add the page. It’s also a lot simpler to maintain, however there are some draw-backs. Firstly, as of yet there’s no integration for fan pages with applications that mix social media feeds, such as Tweet Deck or Hoot Suite, with that you can’t link say a twitter account with a fan page. All this basically means is that you’ll have to come in and post updates yourself rather than posting to one service and being done with it.
The second, and less often used way is to create the business its own facebook account, all you need is an email address. This route is preferable to the business who would like to link services such as twitter and tumblr, so they can post to one space and have the update go out everywhere. As a bonus, this route allows you to have communication from the business’s name rather than messaging people through a personal account. Another bonus is that you can use mobile web to update the account, while you may not be able to update your fan page depending on your mobile web service. So if your company largely exists in places you don’t always have access to a computer, this may be a better route for you. One significant draw-back is that you’ll have to score people as friends, and it’s a lot trickier for people to suggest your business to their friends. So either route you take, expect a time investment.
2) Twitter
Along with facebook there’s another new service called “Twitter”. What twitter is, in it’s essence is to answer the questions “What are you thinking about right now? ” or “What are you doing right now? ” the answer must be completed in 140 characters or less. The creators picked this number for two key reasons: It allows tweets to be sent as text messages to their users (should you opt in) and it keeps it brief, which is perfect for the information age we’re living in where often times people won’t read more than a few sentences.
The benefits of twitter are quite vast, with the main benefit of twitter being that other social media platforms like Myspace require that you accept a user as a friend in order for them to see your updates in their news feed. Twitter instead uses a system of “Followers” someone stumbles upon your page and if they like it, they follow you; all you have to do is regularly update. Another benefit of Twitter is that it’s great at integration. Both facebook and Myspace allow you to update your status by tweeting (and vice-versa) and sites like Tumblr and Twitpic (a photo sharing site) will post your updates to twitter automatically. In addition to that there is a myriad of free applications out there that allow you to manage your twitter. You can even write tweets in advance and schedule them to be sent.
3) Blogs
The next device is a simple and time-tested approach to business. Keeping your customers and stake-holders up-to-date with a blog. There’s thousands of blog sites out there to use, but I personally prefer Tumblr for its ease of use and lack of annoying advertisements. Another great bonus of tumblr is that it’s highly integratable with other social-media, it will automatically update your twitter and facebook to tell all your friends when you’ve posted an update, and link them to said update.
The key to a successful blog (and any social-media really) is to take a bit of the focus off of yourself and share content that might be interesting to your customers. For example, if you’re a bike shop and a new trail opens up you should share that. Don’t just post “Come in and say you saw our twitter and get $5 off!” while that can have some effect it gets old fast and you’ll soon see your numbers slump. Hold it interesting, and update regularly, at least 2-3 times a week.
4) Create Buzz
This idea is a bit more abstract, than the previous suggestions. Basically your goal is to create word of mouth advertising in as cheap of a way as possible. One simple solution here is to create something out of the ordinary and place it where people will see it. While a effect on the side of the road may not attract a second look, a 15 foot tall snow-man might. If you can create something that becomes a land-mark people WILL talk about it, and people may approach to see it for themselves, or even better rob pictures with it, which furthers the buzz.
What does this have to do with the internet? Simple, you can use your twitter, facebook or blog as a jumping off point. In the previous example we built a 15 tall snow-man outside our shop. From here we can take a picture and upload it to our Tumblr, which sends out a spy on our facebook and twitter, and BANG people start showing up to see the thing. The key is to include a “time-hammer”, something that provides a sense of urgency, and gets customers to take action. Going back to our snow man example, he’s obviously going to melt at some point, which is a Time-Hammer, but we can take it one step further by making the thing a sale “10% off until the snow-man melts”. You’ve just given people something interesting to talk about, a reason to come into your store and a time-hammer to get them to do it now. This is how you successful manufacture a hype-based marketing promotion.
5) User created content.
The last method of the internet is similar to building buzz, but takes all the creativity on the businesses end out of it. Basically, all you do is come up with some prizes, say a gift-card or monetary prize, and then advertise a contest over facebook/twitter/your blog for a user-made ad. From there all you have to do is sit-back and peruse the entries pile up on youtube. The important key here is to have the winner be chosen by a polling system, this way the contributors of the ad will tell their friends to watch the ad and vote for them, creating a free marketing campaign for your product or store.

- Review of the Magick Jack’s effectiveness for miniature business
- Fire your phone company and save tons of money
- Replace extinguish with a combination technology solutions
With a little forethought and a small time investment (hours not days), you can virtually eliminate the costly and confusing telephone system you have been struggling with or have been putting off purchasing due to SMB budget constraints.
If you’re paying Ma-Bell for a used phone line, or have your acquire confusing pbx switch on state, you’re not making the most of novel phone technology. In fact, you may be wasting precious time and money for a system that does not meet your needs and actually takes away revenue.
Maybe you are paying a full-time employee to do nothing but manage the “phone system”, or worse, heaping the responsibility on a part-time additional duty basis to an employee who could otherwise focus on THEIR job.
You may have already joined the quarter million other home subscribers of the Magic jack community. Now it’s time to watch how this can be applied to your small or medium business.
There are links to reviews of the magic jack included with this article, but in summary:
FEATURES:
- It’s cheap, costs include $40 for the device and 1st year of phone service, $19.95/yr after that
- Being a USB storage device(like a thumb drive), it carries it’s own software and installs when inserted in the USB slot
- You can either make calls using a headset/mic or a traditional telephone (cordless phones & fax machines)
- It comes with “voicemail” forwarded to any email yarn you wish
- you get email notifications when new VMs arrive
- Although it’s not a worn phone ine with 911 they provide 911 where YOU control the address, so you can set the 911 for ANY location in the US (got a sick mother? )
- Nationwide toll-free is included and international can be had for a price or…
- Send a Magic Jack to anyone you want to call and who you want to call YOU and it’s free WORLDWIDE!
- You can migrate your current landline phone number, maybe your cell number not always, or get a novel phone number*
- ALL of this depends on a broadband connection (I recommend Always on like Cable, NOT DSL), and a computer/laptop.
UNFEATURES
- Call quality (QoS) resembles a cell phone, in both sound quality and dropped calls.
- Customer service is basically their FAQs online and that’s about it.
- The contrivance is bigger than other USB devices, but has a dongle to get it out of the way of your other USB plugs
- One yank on the phone cord and “POP”! out comes the MJ
- limited local phone numbers means long distance numbers in some locations
- Ordering the service online or over the phone or using the MJ program can be confusing
* The “local” phone numbers are not always a local call for your city, for instance in Montana the ONLY number they have are local to Helena, great if you live in the capital not so great for the rest of the state.
The savvy entrepreneur has already seen some openings with the above list for cutting costs. Let’s sight at a few ways you can make the most of this new technology for your business.
We’re impartial seeing the tip of the iceberg, but here are some cost effective uses:
HARDWARE
- Connect your Home & Work offices
- Virtual Office employee(s) and VAs
- Key Customer and teleconference training
- Anyone who travels for your company
IMPLEMENTATION
- Fax
- Small pbx-like features
- Integration with other tech i.e. Virtual PBX systems
First, HARDWARE solutions.
By simply purchasing the Magic Jack device at $40 ea. you can save tons on the recurring phone bill.
1 – Connect home & work offices, buy a MJ scheme for home and work, for anyone who commutes. After the initial $40 you get 1 year of uninterrupted calling from work to home etc. try out call forwarding thru a virtual pbx
2 – Virtual Office employees or VAs you contract with can now maintain voice contact with no cost to THEM if you simply purchase them a MJ device, it’s up to you if you ask for it back at the end of the contract or give it to them for a job well done.
3 – Key customer care and Teleconferencing or training This encompasses many areas but essentially it’s a repeat of the above, for a nominal $40 charge you can ensure your key clients and business partners stay connected again at no fee for them. It’s so easy to exhaust they really won’t have to wade through a tech manual to begin calling you. If you host training over the phone/online through .rdp connections etc. you can send one of the MJs to them ahead of training (perhaps with any manuals) and ask them to call on your $40 dime. Especially if you will have ongoing training with this client. Again, you can choose to unprejudiced give it to them as a gift. $40 isn’t much when you consider the price of other training materials you use.
4 – The Road Warriors friend Having spent half my life on the road, I can tell you if I were doing that kind of work now, I would buy the MJ without even thinking about it. Being able to call “Local” to my home or the US when overseas for a year for $20 you bet I’m on board. Just imagine, you get to the hotel (with broadband access of course) late at night, and just want to touch base with home or the office, now you plug in MJ into your laptop and before you can unwrap the baby soap bar, you’re ready to make or receive calls from home FOR FREE minus $20 initial fee 
If you are already paying for cell phones for the travelers maybe you can slash down on some of the primetime minutes by simply buying the MJ, or better yet, give the MJ to them for personal calls and encourage strict business ONLY calls on the cell phone wiht no excuses for wasted minutes chatting with family etc.
Now that’s only what you can do by being nice enough to bewitch MJ devices for everyone, now let’s explaore some of the cool things that can be space up on the USAGE/Implementation side of the house:
1 – FAX Although officially not supported yet, key word being “YET”, faxing can be done from anywhere again as a local call with no special setup, just stagger in and send. Again, you might consider integrating with a virtual pbx system for a smoother operation especially if you wish to offer fax aid capability.
2 – Private Branch Exchange (private telephone switchboard) although it’s far from a PBX or virtual PBX system, the magic jack will allow 3-way calling and take voicemails. Once you have the MJ phone number you can marry it with a virtual pbx and get full-featured utilize of a pbx with the orders or principal calls coming to your MJ phone.
If you have location up your business to be on autopilot, send a MJ to your order takers and Cust Attend VAs and let the calls come in with no per minute charges coming back to you.
3 – Integrate The most effective employ of technology means marry-ing or integrating several solutions to create a full-featured robust solution.
If you aren’t familiar with virtual-PBXs look into using one like onebox, for service starting around $10/mo., prices go up depending on usage, you rep 1-800 access and the same basic features that a geeky full-time phone switch programmer at your company can create, with less cost and hassle.
- Have calls routed within the PBX to various voicemails, but more importantly following the Tim Ferris device of doing things, you can have them follow YOU or any of your employees and VAs, no matter what phone or time of day they will be at that phone number, giving the illusion of 24/7 customer support.
Routing can also include having the really important calls directed to the MJ device number/voice mail so you get ONLY the most pressing calls, again, from anywhere in the world (With broadband access).
Well, this is again just brushing the surface of what the world of VoIP and devices like the MagicJack can garner for the SMB world, for more info please visit http://squatchtech.ning.com and follow the articles relating to small business technology use.

I hope you find this information on Predictive Dialers, Auto Dialers, Power Dialers, and Call Centers applications useful. This is specific information for telemarketing, lead generation, business development, sales, and marketing in a home based business environment.
If you are going to be competitive, want to or need to touch with as many people in the least amount of time, want to be successful in the telemarketing, lead generation, business development, sales and marketing industry, you’ll inevitably have to consider using an auto or semi-auto dialing solution: a tool that will dial more numbers for you in less time with less effort than manual dialing. Some systems will increase dialing productivity by 30-80% and will even help you manage your data.
Built in and around the core of some of these applications are cool features like a pop-up veil with as much detail on the person or company being called as you’d need, an integrated CRM, a call recorder, a tool that will allow you to leave a pre-recorded voice message so you don’t have to keep repeating yourself, email templates for one click sends, a calendar with pop-up reminders for scheduled call backs, a DNC scrubber, management tools, training tools, and other smart add-ons. Some of these applications will integrate into your CRM system, like SalesForce, SugarCRM and ZOHO.
To give perspective, I am a business development person (Telemarketer with collateral tools and services) and I work my contracts every day. I have been providing a variety of marketing services for over 15 years. I work from my home office in Montreal, Canada. I advertise and work hard to get and keep my clients. I have learned over the last 15 years and continue to learn what works best for me and what doesn’t. All that to say, I am not a professional blogger but a telemarketer, business development, sales and lead generating person, a tell with a lot of energy and passion for what I do. I have tried some of these products out in a real world, trial-by-fire setting.
I have had the privilege of trying a few different predictive dialer applications while running my home based call center. Some are astonishing (I am still using my SpitFire Predictive Dialer, I fancy it). One that gave me a very hard time was EVS7’s Dolphin Power Dialer. This one caused me to lose 3 days of work trying to get it to work . It turned out to be more or less incompatible with my operating system. On the bright side, they did refund all of my money. You’ll need to research, understand the capabilities and sample a few out before deciding.
I’ve effect this list together which includes what I call the predictive dialer, power dialer, auto dialer or call center applications. Different people call them different things. The factors that I focused on their stability, the hasten at which they dial, sound quality, cost effectiveness and caller details.
These solutions range from very affordable, stand alone systems to very exotic and expensive that I did not even get a chance to try as they where out of my price range. I have included them because they come up towards the top in search engines so I can’t overlook them. My ratings of the products that I have not tried are based on what I have read up on what others who have aged them have written about their experience and some technical information from tech papers.
1. Five9’s Virtual Call Center – Hosted, SIP based VOIP, Web based. No long term contracts; there is a set up fee, familiar interface and set up. Good sound quality. Great for someone that doesn’t want to have their solution. $$ +++
2. Spitfire Predictive Dialer – Stand alone. SIP based VOIP. An additional server may be required, feature rich, easy to use and set up. Compared to hosted solutions the product amortizes in about 10 months, organic growth as you add on more agents or resell the service. I love it because I can use it to provide a hosted solution to my clients. Best professional value for a low cost, $$$ +++++
3. Voicent’s Predictive Dialer – Stand alone. SIP based VOIP and LAN. Low cost. I tried this on the trial basis and I liked it. It has a feature rich interface, familiar and easy to use and to have residence up and running in a short period of time. Seems like a great value. $$ +++
4. SolusOne’s Virtual Call Center – Hosted, SIP based LAN. Monthly fee, spot up fee plus LD. Feature rich, Simple exhibit. Easy to exhaust with an easy and familiar interface and set up. $$$ easy to exhaust ++++
5. Volcalcom’s Predictive Dialer Solution – Hosted, VOIP Web Based. Feature rich – more than most systems offer. $$$$ ++
6. Callfire’s Cloud Call Center - as low as 2$ an hour including LD for the light version. The heed goes up the more features you ad. An easy set up as an administrator/user and easy for your callers to log in. For an example of an escalated cost and where you’ll need to be vigilant is the transferred call, when a call is transferred to another person you will be billed at 8.5¢ per minute. Not abominable but it can get expensive depending upon your requirement and usage. This product is more of a service. Pay as you go is a chilly idea. service $$ +++
7. EVS7’s Power Dialers – Stand alone. VOIP or LAN. Low cost. Easy to use, set up is a bit more complicated than most. Many of EV&’s default settings are only familiar to them and will require a fair amount of customer befriend. I wished it worked as well as advertised. Didn’t integrate with my operating system. If you are running XP or Vista it may work well for you. $ +
8. Insidesales.com’s Predictive Dialer 2.0 – VOIP Web based. Monthly fee and set up. Feature rich. Really easy to exhaust and set up. Easy arrangement to try them out with their 1000 free trial minutes, very wintry auto call back features. $$$ ++++
9. Vanillasoft – VOIP, Web Based. Monthly fee. Free 30 day trial. Easy to use and space up. $$$ +++
10. Skype – Not really a predictive solution but allows for fast dialing on the cheap. Voip (obviously) and with a plug in for MS office you can click dial in Excel or Word. Telify Firefox plug-in allows you to click dial apt off of a website. Procure Pamela Call Recorder to narrate your calls and bag a free CRM like ZOHO to help manage your data. This is a good solution for people who are starting out and don’t have enough capital or credit to but a fully functional solution.
If you want to be a telemarketer, business development person, sales person or a lead generator you are going to have to think about getting one of these. For a consultation on these products, web beget software, Content Management Systems or how to market your business plunge by my website and contact me. I’ll be happy to attend out. Be positive, be productive and keep dialing!
