********************************

It’s important that you understand something about affiliate
marketing from the very beginning -

Earning affiliate income isn’t easy
for the average person.

Let’s face it, there are 50 gazillion other people out there
doing the exact same thing you are doing – if you could remember
what it is that you are doing.

So, that’s what I want to address.  Here’s the mindset that I
want you to remember:  there are only so many customers out there.
And each affiliate in the program is doing basically the same
thing to try to reach them.

That’s why you are going to be different.  Got it?

Before I jump into what I consider to be the “real secret” to
earning commissions with affiliate programs, let me share with
you a basic concept that is going to be important to what you
are going to learn today.

Here is how the average affiliate approaches promoting their
affiliate link…

A)  Send out a mailing.  Purchase ezine ads.  Get a few
pay-per-click keywords.  Post a few links.  Make a small
profit.  Get discouraged.  Move on to the next affiliate
program.

Or, if they are slightly more aggressive…

B) Send out a mailing.  Purchase ezine ads.  Get a few
pay-per-click keywords.  Post a few links.  Write a few articles.
Create an eBook.  Do a joint venture.  Swap ads.  And they
continue promoting that same affiliate program until they
(along with a few other aggressive affiliates) have found
every potential customer on the face of the earth.  Make
a decent profit.  Where do I go now?  Move on to the next
affiliate program.

While I certainly agree that the “slightly more aggressive”
affiliate is on the right trail with their approach, it still
leaves a common problem that all affiliates have…

Finding NEW customers.

You make an affiliate sale.  Great.  You make another one.
Great.  You keep working and working and working to make
another sale and another sale and another sale.  Now, remember,
there are a gazillion others out there trying to do the same
thing.  And, even if all of these other affiliates only make
one or two sales each…

..that’s a LOT of customers that you WON’T be selling to!

For example:  If there are 10,000 affiliates promoting
Product A and they all, on average, sell just 2 copies
each, that’s 20,000 customers that are immediately
unavailable for you to sell to.

Doesn’t matter how hard you promote and how much you do, you
WILL NOT sell them a second copy of something they have
already bought.  Even if they love it.   They won’t buy
another copy.

So, here’s the “real secret.”  While everyone is promoting
the heck out of all of the same programs you are, you need
to refine who it is that you are promoting.

***Bottom line:  Start FOCUSING on those affiliate programs
that offer MONTHLY commissions.

Here’s why.  Let’s say you promote an absolutely awesome
product by Mr. Guru that sells for $29.97.  And Mr. Guru gives
you 50% commission.  By the time all of the processing fees
are out of the way, you earn about $14.00 for a new customer.

And you’re done with that customer — it’s time to move on
and find the next guy.

HOWEVER, if you promote an affiliate program that pays
MONTHLY, let’s say a membership site, then here’s what you
would find happens…

The membership site is $27.00 PER MONTH.  You earn $13.50 per
MONTH for every referral you make for as LONG AS THEY REMAIN
ACTIVE!

With the $29.97 product, you earn $14.00 for all of your efforts
in finding a customer.  One time commission.  That’s it.  Time
to find another customer.  With the MONTHLY service, you earn
about the same commission for that same customer.  Then, next
month you earn that commission over again!  Month after that,
you’re still earning that same commission from that same customer.
For each and every month that the customer continues to use
the service you continue to bring in the commission without
finding a new customer.

Do you see the potential here?

It makes much more sense to focus on promoting affiliate
programs that bill monthly and pay commissions monthly.  That
way, you continue to earn profits from the…

Same customer base!

If I am going to buy ads and purchase pay-per-click keywords
and create eBooks and bust my behind to get those customers,
I’d sure rather get paid every month (without doing a bit of
extra work, mind you!) that to only earn a one-time commission.

—————-Side Bar ——————-
While this isn’t as good as MONTHLY income, choosing an
affiliate program that offers you LIFETIME customers is the
next best thing. For example:  With some programs when you
recruit a customer , they are yours for life.  If they
purchase future product releases, then YOU receive the
commission as the original referrer. It’s a good second
option, but it’s not as good as getting paid monthly!
————————————————

So, what should you promote?  Your eyes have been opened.
You’ve seen the light.  You realize that what you’ve just
read does make sense.  And you want to get paid monthly!

So, what should you promote?  While you definitely need
to check things out yourself and make that determination
on your own, let me give you a short list of TYPES of offers
that you can promote that bill monthly and award monthly
commission checks.

* PLR AND RESALE RIGHTS CLUBS

* MEMBERSHIP SITES

* WEB HOSTING

* AUTORESPONDERS AND LIST MANAGEMENT TOOLS

* COACHING CLUBS

* PAID NEWSLETTERS

* SERVICES (AD TRACKING, LEGAL DOCS, MANAGEMENT, ETC.)

The important thing is for you to identify at least one
really good affiliate program that offers residual income
possibilities for you.

Once you find the right program to promote, it’s a matter
of getting as many different people to click on your link
as possible.  How would you like to have someone teach
you ONE simple way to promote your affiliate links every
week?  Read on for details…

********************************

Using ezine articles is a great way to promote your favor
affiliate program.  What I’d like to do in this article is
provide you with a simple system for effectively writing
an ezine article that strategically promotes your offer.

There are five steps…

1. CHOOSE THE OFFER YOU WISH TO PROMOTE

This one is kind of a no-brainer. It all begins with deciding
what you want to promote. What offer would you like to
send traffic to.

HINT:  You can promote your affiliate link directly, but
what works better is to promote a list at YOUR site which
you then use to promote your affiliate link over and over
again after the visitor becomes a subscribers.

2. DETERMINE YOUR “USEFUL, BUT INCOMPLETE” APPROACH.

I love to use what I have coined as the “useful, but
incomplete” approach when using freebies of any kind.
(Ezine articles, free eBooks, reports, eCourses, etc.)

What I mean by that is simply this: You provide your reader
with “useful” information (something they find of value and
are able to actually apply) but make certain that it is
“incomplete” in that they can better use the information
by making a purchase.

That’s “useful, but incomplete.” And it works like a charm.

The idea is to use your content to build up to your desired
response. You provide the reader with content, and then
you make an offer that allows them to fully utilize the
content, gain extra insight from the content or maximize
the content in some additional way.

Let me give you an example -

If I wanted to promote an autoresponder service in an
ezine article, how could I do it?  I’d write an article
that explains how to benefit from using autoresponders.
My article would exlain different uses of autoresponders
and how the reader could profit from implementing the
ideas.

** I.E.  7 Ways To Create Revenue Streams With Autoresponders

Naturally, they will need an autoresponder service in order to
use the information, right?  And I just happen to know of a
great service they can use.  More on that later.

OK, so that’s an example of how to promote a SERVICE offer
with your ezine article. What about a software product or an
eBook?

Want some examples?

Good, because I’ve got two…

TO PROMOTE A SOFTWARE PRODUCT.  Let’s suppose you want to promote
a software program that creates “ecovers”.  How can you do it?

– Write an article outlining how important presentation of your
offer is, and how creating a cover graphic can increase response
rates by up to 1300%

– Write a step-by-step tutorial article for “do-it-yourselfers”,
explaining how to design your own graphics from scratch.  Then
promote the software as a super-simplified way of doing it.

TO PROMOTE AN EBOOK.  Let’s suppose you want to promote an ebook
that teaches advanced list-building strategies.   How can you do it?

– Write an article that covers the “basics” of building lists,
and then promote the eBook as the “advanced” tactics.

– Write an article on how to profit from a list, and then promote
the eBook as the “how to build the list.”

See how easy this is?

That’s how it works. Determine what your “useful, but incomplete”
approach will be, and then…

3. TURN YOUR APPROACH INTO A TIPS OR TUTORIAL ARTICLE.

Let’s use my example again. I decided that I would describe various
uses of autoresponders and how the reader can actually profit from
them. What kind of tips list or tutorial could I create?

* How to Generate More Subscribers, Sales and Profits With
Automated Follow-Up Messages”

* 7 Powerful And Profitable Ways To Use Autoresponders To Skyrocket
Your Sales and Subscribers!

* Want to Increase Your Online Profits And Leads? Here are 7 Ways
to Do It…

I actually went with the middle title. I wrote my list of the 7
ideas that I wanted to share. And I had the makings of a perfect
article to promote an offer.

That’s all you need to do. Determine your end result. Decide how
to get there with your “useful, but incomplete” approach. And then
develop a list, or even a step-by-step tutorial for your article
that leads the reader along.

With each new “idea” or “way” or “tip” or “step” or “strategy”
that you share, you can further direct the reader towards
realizing their need of your upcoming offer, and lay the
foundation for them to accept the offer.

4. EXPAND ON EACH POINT TO BUILD YOUR CONTENT.

Here’s more of the easy part. Just “fill-in-the-blanks” to complete
your article. Write 1-2 short paragraphs for each of your points.
Make them good. Provide quality content. The offer you will soon
make will see poor results if your information isn’t useful.

Remember, you are trying to presell the reader on the idea that
they are going to need your offer. If you don’t provide them with
quality information that they WANT to begin using immediately,
then why will they want to buy what you are promoting?

Light a fire in them. Motivate them. Challenge them. Give them
such nuggets of gold that they want to keep mining until they
hit the mother lode!

5. PUT ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES WITH THE “FIVE PILLARS”

There are five things that you should always do to finish up
your ezine article. Don’t skip any of them. They are all
critical…

* POLISH. Re-read your article. Does it provide information
that really is “useful” to the reader? And yet leaves them
wanting even more? That’s what you want. Polish it. Put
on the wax and make it shine. It has a very specific
purpose — make certain it has the means to achieve it.

* PROMOTE. Use your resource box to promote your offer. This
is why we’ve written the article, right? Remember step one?
It’s time to put it into play. Give the reader what they
(hopefully) are wanting…a way to maximize the information
you gave them.

* PROOF. Don’t do this yourself. Have a trusted friend, relative
or co-worker check your article for grammatical and
typographical errors. The last thing you want to do is present
a poor image after sharing some high quality information.

* PUBLISH. Zip your new article out to your favorite list of
publishers. Submit it to the announcement lists and the ezine
directories. Don’t forget to publish it yourself in your own
newsletter!

* PROFIT. If you’ve covered all the bases that I’ve mentioned,
then profits are almost certain to start coming in when your
ezine article is published. You deserve it. Be proud of your
accomplishments.

And then start it all over again!

That’s how you promote your favorite affiliate program in 5 easy
steps using ezine articles.

Obviously, there are many  other ways to promote your affiliate
program, as well as a considerable more “details” in the strategy
we’ve looked at today.  If you’d like 52 great ways to promote
your affiliate link AND complete step-by-step details for each
of them, be sure to read the important details below…

********************************
There must be a reason why some affiliates succeed and some
fail, a reason why some affiliates profit moderately and some
affiliates profit substantially.

There must be a reason.

There is.

And that reason is this:  “super” affiliates start, sustain and
strengthen relationships with subscribers.

It begins and ends with a list.  Even a small one can be a
powerful, profitable mechanism if you follow these 7
guidelines…

1. CAPTURE THE OPTIN FIRST.

Instead of sending traffic directly to your affiliate link,
send them to YOUR site where you offer some kind of list for
them to join.  (Hint:  Mini-course works best)  Once you have
them on a list, they become an asset.  If you send them directly
to an affiliate page and they don’t buy,  they’re gone forever.
On your list, you can follow-up  with them
indefinitely.

Note:  You can even redirect them to your affiliate link AFTER
they join your list, effectively getting them where you wanted
them to go in the first place.

2. DIFFERENTIATE THE OFFER.

Instead of sending out the same, tired, lame advertisement that
every other affiliate in the world sends out, write your own.
Trust me when I say that many people find it  OFFENSIVE when
they receive two dozens duplicate emails from two dozen list
owners all promoting the exact same thing in the exact same way.
And even if they don’t find it offensive, it’s not as effective
if you simply rinse and repeat what everyone else is doing.

Hint:  Here’s how you differentiate…

3. SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.

Nothing – nothing – nothing speaks louder than RESULTS.  If you
want to lose a few pounds, who do you turn to?  Someone  who is
still struggling with their own weight or someone you’ve seen
drop 35 pounds?  Exactly.

The way you make your mailings / ads different is you speak
from your own personal experience.  This product or service that
you are promoting as an affiliate, how has it been useful to you
personally?  What results have you personally achieved? When you
used it, what happened?

Note:  If you haven’t personally used the product, then shame
on you for trying to make a quick buck from it hocking it to
others!

4. OFFER A COMPELLING INCENTIVE.

Another way to be different – and to dramatically increase your
chances of getting a sale as an affiliate – is to offer some
kind of compelling incentive if someone buys the offer through
YOUR referral link.  Whether it’s a special report or access to
an audio recording, personalized consultation or advertising, a
private training call or existing products and services, this
can be a highly effective method of converting fence-setters
into paying customers.

In order for it to work well, it must be UNIQUE (I.E.  You’re
the only one making the offer) and USEFUL (I.E.  Something of
great perceived value to the reader).

Note:  Don’t have anything to offer?  Don’t worry!  There are
many ways to easily obtain extra incentives:  conduct an
interview, hire a ghostwriter to create articles / reports for
you, buy reprint rights to other products, assemble a bunch of
free articles and other resources into a private access site,
etc.

5. LOOK FOR RESIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

Rather than exhaust your efforts on purchases that give you a
one-time commission, why not make the most of your marketing by
looking firstly for offers that pay out ONGOING monthly
commissions for your referred sales?

There are many different residual income generating services
such as membership sites (ranging from PT Cruisers to weight
loss), stock photos and clipart, hosting, autoresponders,
databases (from hiking trails to sermon outlines) online
magazines and a variety of other subscription based
opportunities that reward you with monthly recurring commissions.

While you definitely want a mix of types of affiliate programs
to promote, your priority should be in identifying and promoting
those services and programs that will pay you month after month,
instead of only one time.

6. BUILD A SALES ARMY.

One of the biggest untapped sources of income in any list is
that of “turning subscribers into partners”.  In other words,
find those on your list who are interested in making money and
provide them with training and materials to promote affiliate
programs as well.

This has a two-fold advantage for YOU:

* First, if you find 2-tier affiliate programs, you can get
your subscribers to join the program through your referral.
Anytime they get a sale, you’ll earn a commission as well.  You
effectively get free commissions from their effort.

* Secondly, you can use their efforts to build your own assets.
For example:  If you provide them with a 10-page report to give
away to promote their affiliate link, you can include a page in
the report promoting YOUR list!  You effectively get free
subscribers from their effort.

7. MONETIZE FOR MULTIPLE STREAMS.

As your own list continues to grow, you certainly want to
diversify in your offerings.  (Not to the point of bombarding
your list with offers every day of course!)

* Promote other affiliate programs.
* Create your own products.
(Even short $10 reports will earn profit!)
* Establish joint ventures.
* Co-author products.
* Cross promote.
* Conduct surveys.

There are MANY ways to make money from you list and keep your
list growing, growing, growing!

Remember, it all comes down to:  starting, sustaining and
strengthening relationships with subscribers.

And that’s how you make a fortune as an affiliate promoting
other people’s products.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 5
By Jimmy Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

The word “overhead” is not a favorite among those who run
businesses of any kind.  Nobody likes the expenses of
operating a business.  And nobody really talks about them
much when it comes to promoting all of the “money-making”
products and services online.

But, don’t kid yourself, there’s a lot of overhead.

That brings me to the fifth reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need a big budget to make it work **

Do you have any idea how much money is spent running an
internet business? There are monthly fees for…

* Autoresponders
* Hosting
* Management
* Advertising
* Scripts
* Much more

There are regular fees for…

* Licensing
* Outsourcing
* Support
* Customer Service
* Maintenance
* Development
* Recruting
* Much more

It’s not uncommon to spend tens of thousands (even
hundreds of thousands) of dollars in operational
costs — which is fine if you’ve been in business
a while and are making the bucks. However, if you’re
a newcomer, it can be taxing on your budget!

SIDEBAR:  I paid one girl over $30,000 last year
just to oversee one small part of my business.
No one talks much about it, but there ARE a lot
of expenses involved before you get to the
“bottom line” of profit.

BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need a big
budget to make it work! You can simply use a variety
of free and low-cost marketing methods to generate
clicks to your affiliate link.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need a big budget to make it work.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 4
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

I’m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who
have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their
online businesses.  What you may not be aware of is the
amount of work involved in generating those “sales” (not
always net profit, mind you … this isn’t “spendable”
income in a lot of cases.)

That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to manage an entire business **

While it can be quite lucrative, running an entire business
with employees, inventory, partners, vendors, and other
associates can be a time-sucking, frustrating ordeal.

Imagine…

* Processing refunds
* Putting out fires when partners SPAM
* Managing day-to-day operations
* Overseeing projects you’ve outsourced
* Recruting new affiliates
* Training everyone to help you
* Paying taxes
* Taking care of the paper trail
* Doing all of the “stuff” that business owners do.

Didn’t you want to start an internet business to make
more time for important things in life?

Why not make a lot of money WITHOUT making a lot of extra
work for yourself?!

It can be a lot of extra work and stress. BUT, with
affiliate marketing, you don’t need to manage an entire
business! You are simply responsible for promoting your
affiliate link… someone else handles all the rest.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to manage an entire business.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2
By Jimmy Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Pop quiz time.  What does “HTML” stand for?  Don’t know
that one?  How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK,
one more chance.  Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building
a website!

* What in the world is HTML?  Or FTP?
* How much does the software cost?  And hosting?
* How do I upload files?
* Why isn’t it formatted correctly?
* Why don’t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult
(even using templates) to get an attractive website in place.
And hiring a professional to do it fo ryou is out of the
budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to build a
website.  You simply send visitors to someone else’s
professionally designed site through your affiliate link.

SIDEBAR:  Just in case you’re interested, HTML stands
for “hypertext markup language” and is the coding
used to build webpages.  FTP stands for “file transfer
protocol” and is the process used for moving files
from your computer to a website, or vice versa.

Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take
advantage of the time and money invested by someone else
to develop the site.  Think about it:  when you promote an
affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU.  You are the
one who is advertising the link, recommending the product,
sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.

The professional site of someone else really represents
you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked
through your link.

You get the benefits without the bother.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to build a website.
