What I like about Market Samurai is that it is packed with many different modules and within each module there are multiple features. I am literally still finding new features all of the time as I explore more within the different modules.

The program is so packed with different features that it would take pages and hours to describe them all to you and so today we will begin by looking at the overall Market Samurai software and a summary of how it can benefit you – beginning by preparing for Keyword Research.

When you download and first start using Market Samurai you may be prompted to download the update. The team at Noble Samurai continue regularly to produce updates that we can download and enjoy the benefits of. I recommend that if you are prompted then you go ahead and download this update.

Market Samurai - New Project

You will then come to the screen where you can start a new project. Once you multiple projects saved on your computer you then have the option of either starting a new project of opening an existing one.

Market Samurai - Naming Project

It is good idea when you begin that you select the folder location where you want all of your Market Samurai projects to be kept. They will then save in this location each time. It is also good to remember that you are able to install Market Samurai onto either 1 or 2 computers. This is handy if you have multiple computers or another family member who would also like to use the software.

Market Samurai - Project Name

It is a good idea to do the research for different Niche areas each in a separate Market Samurai project. This makes it a lot easier to manage what you are doing in each niche area.

It is helpful if you start off by calling the Project by the initial keyword that you want to research (or at least something similar that will make sense to you at a later date). You can see in our example that we called our project “Cordless Phone System” and this is the first keyword that we are going to do our research on.

Market Samurai - Keyword Research

The next step is to have “Google Synonym Tool” selected and then click on “Generate Keywords”. Within a short time Market Samurai has generated up to 200 keywords for you to analyze for this initial keyword that you entered.

Market Samurai - Fetching Keywords

We are going to leave it here for today and continue with how to use Market Samurai for Keyword Research in our next blog post.

You can download a free trial of Market Samurai here and test it out for yourself. I have no doubt at all that once you have a play with the program that you will also be as impressed as I am.

Until next time, Remember to Enjoy Life, Smile at a stranger and Make a Difference in the World!

The First Step For An Internet Marketer

Affiliate Marketing is often the first step that newbie Internet Marketers use to start to explore and find profitable niches and to begin to generate some additional income.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

So if you are new to the Internet Marketing arena then you may be asking, “So what is Affiliate Marketing? What is an Affiliate?”

These are great questions and understanding these terms is a great place to start towards your goal of becoming a successful Internet Marketer and towards generating additional income for yourself and your family.

An Affiliate Promotes Other People’s Products Or Services

To put it simply, an Affiliate is someone (like you) who promotes other people’s products or services. You simply find a product or service that you are passionate about or that you believe in and then begin to promote this to others. When someone then purchases the item that you promoted to them you receive a commission on that sale. This commission can range from 3% up to even 80%+ of the sale price – depending on the affiliate program that you have signed up with.

So following on from this, Affiliate Marketing then is the process of an affiliate making an agreement with a business merchant to go out and promote their products and/or services.

Your Unique Affiliate Marketing URL

Once you find an affiliate program that you are interested in promoting you then sign up with this business merchant and you are given a unique affiliate URL (domain name) that you can use to promote to others.

A great benefit of affiliate marketing is that you do not have to worry about customer service, shipping the product etc. All of these concerns are looked after by the business that you are an affiliate of. Your main aim and goal is to just promote their product or service and they then do the rest.

Great Tools For All Affiliate Marketers

At Affiliate Marketing Time we are going to look at some tools and strategies that you can use in order to become a successful Affiliate and Internet Marketer. Some of the great tools that we will be beginning with are Traffic Bug, Market Samurai and CBMall – just to name a few.

• Traffic Bug is a great tool to improve your rankings in the Search Engines and also to get more traffic to your website.
• Market Samurai is a fantastic resource that has multiple modules in the one program, with each module making the job of any Affiliate Marketer much easier. The first module is the keyword research module and is a great keyword research tool to explore more into your particular niche. You may have heard of a very well known Internet Marketer, Armand Morin. Armand has said that Market Samurai is the best tool that he has ever used regarding keyword generation. We will be looking in more depth at Market Samurai over the coming weeks.
• CBMall is where you can go to set up a free store of Clickbank products.

So check back here often as we will be adding new content regularly.
