Cyberlocker And File Hosting Sites – Get Paid To Upload
So file hosting sites are basically that-a hosting site for your files. Simple enough. There are a few different types of file hosting sites, and hundreds of different services all with different features. Of course some are better than others. Most file hosting sites are basically run of the mill sites, nothing special about them.
Be warned! At the time of this writing there are a bunch, and I mean a bunch of file hosting sites that will claim to pay you for sharing your files, when they are in fact a scam. Some of these scam file hosting sites are new file hosting services that started up but just couldn’t get off the ground, so they cut corners where they have to and usually end up closing down or scamming their uploaders.
Okay so let’s go over some different types of file hosting services.
File Hosting – Non paying
These file hosting sites are just plain file hosting / file storage sites with no rewards or affiliate programs for their users. They sometimes offer premium accounts with better speeds. Usually these sites offer more quality service to the downloader, because they arn’t paying the uploader for the traffic.
File Hosting Sites – Paying
These are file hosting sites that offer their members rewards-usually in the form of money or points that they recieve for sharing a certain number of files. There is generally two types of affilate programs, Pay Per Download, and Pay Per Sale. Often times these sites offer a mix or hybrid type that’s 50% downloads and 50% sales. Pay per downloads usually in the form of $ per 1000 downloads. This value can range from anywhere from a dollar to thirty dollars. Usually different countries are worth more than others. For example downloads from the US / Uk are worth more than some downloads from certain parts of Asia, ect. The amount can also vary per file size, usually the bigger the file the more the download is worth. Companies advertise their high numbers like $35 per 1000 downloads. For smaller files to certain countries may only in fact be worth $3 per 1000.
The pay per sale option is usually a percent of the premium sale (when a downloader buys a premium account) and sometimes includes rebills (when a customer renews a premium account). Some file hosts also offer a referral bonus, usually through a referal link or they can add their website url so any accounts signed up directly trough their site will earn say 20% of their earnings. This is a good way to make money because if you get a few good referals then the process is kinda automated.
Another type of file hosting site is a cloud storage, or online file storage. These sites we won’t talk too much about because these sites are usually not for sharing files-these sites are more used for making backups or personal storage not to be mass shared.
Another type of file hosting site is one that offers streaming video, some of these sites also offer downloads too. Some of these file hosts offer pay per view of your file, and some may not pay at all. These streaming video sites are used to embed videos into your website so viewers can watch your video instead of download the file to their computer.
Like streaming video sites, there are also mp3 file hosting sites as well. A few of these sites offer to pay uploaders, but some of them are just free services with no uploader rewards. Usually these sites offer streaming audio or playlists you can make and embed your songs onto your webpage. Some even offer “hotlinking” which is a direct download link that you can share and visitors can download the song / file without ever leaving your site.
Survey to download sites are another type of file hosting site. These offer to pay more per download, often $.50-$1.00 or more for a single download. The only catch is the user must fill out and complete a survey before downloading. You can earn money with these but most visitors will simply just click out of the window because the surveys are long and troublesome to complete, often wanting your address, phone number, and other things like that.
File sharing has gained great popularity the last few years, and now there are even sites that are like multiple file hosts in one. Sometimes using a rapidleech script you can download from one of many file hosting sites. Just input your link and it starts to transload. From there you can download the file at premium speed, without having to buy seperate premium accounts for every file host. These have become very popular lately. Another variation of this is whats known as a “premium link generator”. Basically several premium accounts bundled into one paid service. You enter the link from any file hosting site, and it will give you a different link and you can directly download without waiting and at premium speeds.
That basically covers the main types of file hosting sites and how they operate. There are hundreds of sites and some of them are kinda neat with different features. If you are new to file hosting or file sharing I hope that after reading this article you have a greater understanding of how file hosting works. Have fun and good luck!
The anatomy of an affiliate marketing sale
The anatomy of a sale has not changed over the hundreds of years that we as humans have been selling to one another. First there is the offer, and then there is the counter offer, the exchange of money and the delivery of the product or service, affectionately known as “the close.”
If only it was that simple, right? The problem is that normally a person will never take the first offer and as such most sales people give up and don’t know the anatomy of a sale. When each step in the sales process is handled correctly, the close is the natural conclusion to a successfully followed sales process. If research tells us anything it is that: “You Can Not Take “NO” For an Answer!”
In the anatomy of a sale, most internet marketers or sales people have the following disposition;
* 48% of them will quit after the 1st contact where the buyer says NO.
* 73% will quit after the 2nd contact.
* 85% will quit after the 3rd contact.
* 90% will quit after the 4th contact.
Because of these startling numbers is it no wonder why over 80% of the sales will go to only 10% of the marketers who refuse to take No for an answer. Now obviously in today’s internet marketing world it would be impossible for you to maintain contact with so many people over such a long period of time. That is the reason that we discussed the power of auto responders in our prior newsletter. The auto responder will handle this process for you almost guaranteeing that you will have a sale in the future.
So when you are setting up your email campaign, you want to automatically plan to send out no less than 3 emails where you do nothing but provide the reader with good, valuable, and viable information. By looking at the chart above, you will note that you have already bypassed over 85% of your competition. If you remember correctly we made a recommendation that you do not make a product recommendation except for every 3 to 6 months, now you know why; it puts you ahead of the power curve.
Remember ultimately that your objective is to get people to click through your affiliate link to get them to buy a product or service. How you go about doing that is totally up to you. I would recommend that you do some further research into the art of the sale and how to do the soft sell. The most powerful tool in your tool box is the auto responder. Make sure that you use it.
An interesting corollary statistic that coincides with the above chart is that:
* Only 2% to 3% of the people will buy at the first to second sales contact.
* Only 3% to 5% of the people will buy at the third to fourth sales contact.
* Only 6% to 8% of the people will buy at the fifth to sixth sales contact.
* Only 8% to 10% of the people will buy at the seventh sales contact.
* Over 80% of the people buy when at or over the 8th sales contact.
So again, maintaining a good relationship with your readers is critical. Also critical is that when you do make a product offer you should plan on making that offer no less that eight times. How you do that is totally up to you. I would recommend that you push the soft sale with your post script for the first four to six contacts. Then really make an offer/product recommendation for the seventh, eighth, and ninth contacts and then a final email for that particular campaign thanking all recipient’s that decided to buy with some testimonials thrown into the mix on how much success they are having and a sorry you missed the opportunity to those that decided not to buy. That way the next time you make a product offer those that waited the last time might be more prone to act the second time around.
To your success in all you do

Affiliate Marketing It Is The Easiest Way To Make Money Online!
Article marketing is nothing new. But applied to affiliate marketing it is the easiest way to make money online. And best of all, you can do it without spending a dime using only free tools available online.
This is all you will need:
– A free keyword research tool – A free text editor – A free Clickbank account – A free Blogger account
Do a quick search on your favorite search engine and you will find these free tools very easily.
Quick cash blue print:
1 – Keyword research:
Using your keyword research tool, search for low competition keywords. Those are keywords that have at least 300 searches a month and that have less than 5000 competing pages in Google (when entered between quotation marks like this “keyword”). Try to find 5 to 10 good keywords related to the same topic.
The idea is to focus on keywords for which you can get a first page ranking in Google, Msn and Yahoo.
Hint: If you have no idea of which market to target, start by checking popular phrases like: how to, purchase, get rid of, help, cure, tips, etc.
2 – Find a digital product to promote
Go to Clickbank.com and find a product related to your topic. Choose one that pays at least $15 to $20. Generate your affiliate link and write it down or save it in a text file on your computer.
3 – Article writing:
Write an informative article (approximately 400 words) focused on each of your keywords. Put your keyword in the title and in the first and last paragraph of your article. Also sprinkle it throughout your copy. Go to help visit www.money-secret-exposed.com you can also throw in a few other keywords related to your topic. This will help you rank well.
Most important, write a great bio box that will make people want to learn more and click on the link to your blog. Put your keyword in your bio box as an anchor text link to your blog.
4 – Set up your blog.
More and more article directories will not let you put your affiliate link in your bio box. So your blog is going to be your landing page. The idea here is to put up a simple blog that will presell (not sell) your product and make people click on your Clickbank affiliate link to go to the sales page.
Hint: set up a blog for every product you promote and give it a keyword-focused name.
5 – Submit your articles to article directories.
You will need to find article directories with a PR of 5 or more. Go to www.money-secret-exposed.com these are the ones Google likes and it will help you get a first page ranking in the search engines and drive tons of free traffic to your blog.
Post one article a day on each article directory and do not post the exact same article to more than one directory.
Hint: Your best choice is articlemarketer.com. You will need good quality articles, but it is the most powerful directory online. Alternatively you can use Goarticles.com.
6 – Rinse and repeat!
Article marketing is a game of numbers. The more articles your submit, the more money you will earn. But every product is not going to be a winner. Some will do well, some will not. So test a new product every week putting up 5 to 10 focused articles each time.
That is all there is to it. This may seem to good to be true, but it really does work. Off course it will take a couple of weeks for money to start rolling in on a regular basis but the magic of this method is that once you write a money making article it will generate residual income for months and maybe even years — without ever costing you a single dime.
Success with Affiliate Marketing and Bringing in the Back-End Sales
In affiliate marketing, all people involved in the program get benefited. The affiliate earns income each time he refers a visitor to the website of the merchant. And on the other side, the merchant produces sales without spending a lot of funds for advertising and promotion. The goal, of course, of both sides is to attain as much earnings as possible.
Since the goal is to earn more income, both affiliate and merchant should consider including the practice of back-end selling in their business activities. Back-end selling is a great support for affiliate marketing. It can greatly augment the income produced from affiliate marketing.
Basically, back-end selling is the selling being conducted after the initial sale. That is, when a visitor becomes a paying customer for one product, another product can be advertised and sold to the same customer. This second product is called the back-end product. Since the customer is already acquainted with the merchant or affiliate, there is already an element of trust planted in between. Selling the back-end product may be easier than the initial sale.
Historically, back-end selling has helped boost the sales of both the online businesses and the land-bound companies. As indicated before, the major reason is the established trust between the customer and the merchant or affiliate. If the customer is satisfied with the first product that he purchased, he will logically assume that the online company is offering quality products. A satisfied customer can be easily turned into a “repeat customer”.
The usual technique in backend -selling is to make the customer aware of another product, This second product can cater to the other needs of the customer. And when the satisfied customer becomes aware of the second or back-end product, he will certainly look into it and may decide to purchase it. After such a sale, the merchant or affiliate may offer another back-end product.
Back-end selling had been proven to be powerful in augmenting the income many traditional and land-bound companies. This marketing practice has also made hundreds of online companies flourish and expand. Therefore, it can be a marketing practice that can surely work well with affiliate marketing.
While affiliate marketing will attract new customers and lead to the first sale, the back-end selling can build loyalty among the customers. In other words, back-end selling is one major ingredient in creating that winning formula in affiliate marketing.
Every affiliate should look into the financial promise of back-end selling when coupled with affiliate marketing. These two can make the affiliate earn unbelievably amazing income.
