Tips for Top
http://www.tipsfortop.com
Branding eBooks are all the rage. There is no doubt
that they can and will bring in residual income.
When the author recommends great affiliate sites to
complement the book, it can make a KA CHING out of
your computer.
But........
Branding takes time. When you start to set up a book,
you have to join affiliate programs, get signed up,
then you have to brand the book, and set the book up
and its sales page or its giveaway page, and finally
you are done.
Maybe you joined five affiliate programs, put your email,
your domain and a few other things that you could fit
into the recommendation area of the book, and a few
weeks pass, then the nightmare begins . . . . . .
You get a letter from one of the affiliate programs
that tells you they have upgraded their affiliate
program and you now have a new login and a new url
to promote. Oh, oh!
You fix it, and then to your horror, you get a letter
from your ISP that they have sold their business to
another company and your email is about to change.
Oh, no!
Or, you started your business with no money and you had
a bunch of free pages, and the free page company just
decided to go belly up. Your pages disappear and your
branded products, your email on your articles, even
autoresponders that you may have set up have all gone
defunct.
Okay, do you think that I am telling you all this off the
top of my head? Well, all of the above has happened to me.
So, let my experience help you learn now. Grab a domain
name that you will be using for your main email. Always, pay
for that domain.
Make redirect pages to go to that domain, such as
yoursite.com/marketprogram yoursite.com/greatbargain
yoursite.com/hostpackage yoursite.com/new
yoursite.com/easymoney . . . Well, you get the idea.
Then, when an income opportunity goes bye-bye, you will
be prepared to replace the redirect to go to another
program that has a potential of making you money. It's
a lot easier than changing pages, books, autoresponders,
article resource boxes and even telling your friends that
you have a new email.
Plan for your future and save yourself countless headaches
and your valuable time. By making redirect pages and by
using your own email with your own domain name at all times
so that you can keep control of anything that you have
branded or any webpages that you currently are promoting.
How to make a redirect page? Well, many servers now have a
redirect function in their control panel. However, if they
don't, just place this code into your index page for your
directories that you will be making. That way, when a program
changes, you can just change the redirect on that page and
all will be well.
html
meta HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"content="0; url=http:yourrealsite.com"
/html
That's it. The "0" is how fast you want it to refresh. 0 is
a good time limit for a quick redirect.
