Putting together a seminar for newbies
 

I'm working on a seminar for new mainstream online affiliates. Lecture setting... The hard part is anticipating what they do not know but should know....

What is something veteran webmasters know is 'obvious' that new webmasters may not have figured out yet... I'm making a list of stuff to cover.

So far ill be going over:
1) $/click
2) The value of re-editing one scene into many originals
3) The downside of duplicative content
4) The importance of perfecting your tracking before buying traffic

Post some more topics please....

Thanks GFY :thumbsup

Just wondering where editing 1 scene into many would apply to main stream noob webmastyers.

That said topics
- tracking user within the sales cycle,
- the many uses of A|B testing
- re targeting
- RTB and the proper use of programmable ad buying
- the do's and don't of free traffic
- link structure
- tools every webmaster should know how to use.
- when to do it yourself and when to just use fiver,

Great ideas.

It's a good example of creating cost effective content that isn't duplicative...

Explain

A and B testing with no traffic

Some solid ideas for sure. Thanks very much for contributing!

Who else has some good ones?

keeping an eye on this thread :thumbsup

All good points, especially basics like colors and the importance of load times. Things now so obvious to many that are often overlooked by newer webmasters.

Thanks!

Too many noobs have simple expectations that if they build something, they'll make money. Discuss the elements of successful selling from acquiring qualified leads, pitching them products or services that satisfy a need and making compelling calls to action.

God yes! I see to many websites taking 6+ seconds to load with hardly anything on them nowadays

Creating for the end user, not just search engine bots.

Actually I'm very interested in traffic generation.

I do a lot of face to face - person to person marketing of my skills. I'm thinking it would be nice to set up a small blog and send enough traffic to it so as to cut down on my need to be a salesman.

The concept of having customers come to you rather than going to each customer is a very important one for new service providers. Thanks :thumbsup

In reality that's now the same thing, but I agree most newbies don't know it.

Will add it. Thanks.:thumbsup
