Affiliate Marketing Archives

You hardly need to be told that selling products on line as an affiliate is just about the fastest, easiest way for the little guy or gal to get rich fast. What's more there is a mind-boggling range of products to sell, from a simple e-book to seats on a plane.

And, with giant retailers, such as Amazon, attributing 40% of their $billions of sales to affiliates, there are obviously millions being made from affiliate marketing.

So how come only about 5% of people are making serious money on line?

That's because knowing WHERE the gold is isn't the same as knowing HOW to get at it.

All of which means all those lovely affiliate commissions are cascading into the pockets of a relatively small band of elite super affiliates, who are really laughing all the way to the bank.

And two guys who regularly figure in the top ten lists of super affiliates, by outselling most of their rivals, are Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodgkinson. Between them, they regularly generate hundreds of thousands of affiliate commissions every year.

Time and again they pick up bonuses and even cash prizes to gold plate their massive haul of affiliate commissions. And here's the good news …

They are just releasing a brand new product, allowing you to pick their brains and copy their methods – and it won't cost you a single dime. It's called Web Profit Plans.

And – just because it's free – it hasn't stopped them from going hog wild on this, because they've distilled all the wisdom and experience painfully acquired the hard way, through painful trial and error, and are now handing you exactly what you need to copy their success.

What's more – once you have their secrets – the sky really will be the limit for you!

That's because, as a successful affiliate,  you can laugh off the usual limitations of product creation and customer service – because they're all done for you. So you can invest the time saved sourcing the very best, most lucrative products to sell. And here's where the WPP program hits a home run, because it gives you a simple seven step process to ensure you only get involved with the products most likely to be the easiest and most profitable sellers.

And maybe seven really is a lucky number, because – once you know how to evaluate the very best, most profitable products to sell, Jeremy and Simon are going to hand you your personal treasure map to locate seven gold mines that house the very best selling products for you to promote.

And you'll save much heartache – and a king's ransom – by getting the heads up about three fatal mistakes that could well be hemorrhaging cash from under your nose, right now – if you're already selling stuff as an affiliate.

But they'll soon be a distant nightmare – once you know how to fix them fast.

When you go through this program it's immediately apparent all the hard-won experience at the affiliate marketing coal face is being handed to you on a plate.

For example, there's a really smart way, yet oh-so-simple technique of unearthing those elusive products that no one else is promoting. This is truly El Dorado, because you can zoom in there and scoop up the rich profits leaving your bewildered competitors empty-handed and choking in your dust.

And what really separates the men from the boys in affiliate marketing is the vital art of getting your prospective buyer all fired up and eager to buy the product even before you send them to the vendors site. And here Jeremy and Simon give you four different ingenious ways to do this, in the most effective way possible.

And you've probably heard "The money is in the list". And here's one of Jeremy's and Simon's open secrets of success, because it's well known they enjoy the fruits of owning some of the largest, most responsive lists around. And they are about to tell you how to do it.

So they reveal what they have found to be the four key parts of a successful squeeze page. Miss any one of these and you'll be leaving a pile of cash on the table. But get all four working together and your squeeze pages will be sucking in prospects like a Shop Vac on steroids.

And – because you can never have too large or too targeted a list – you also get six little known techniques to unleash a torrent of red-hot prospects, eager to join your list and enjoy what you have for them.

And they even reveal a total of three amazing techniques to make your product owners want to give you extra commission, as well as actually promote your affiliate link themselves! Hard to believe, right now, I know, but I guarantee you'll enjoy a couple of "ah, ha" moments when you discover how blindingly obvious, stunningly simple and highly effective these stealth techniques are.

And it's not just mastering how to handle your product vendors that makes this program so effective. Because you also get four mega-powerful persuasion techniques that will empower you to tickle your prospect's sweet spot, exploding the conversions to both your opt-in lists and your pre-sales pages. What's more, you also get the absolute #1 most powerful tactic of all to make any offer you make completely irresistible.

And you even get the inside track on how to avoid one of the biggest problems facing affiliate marketers: losing the sale because it isn't made via your affiliate link. So you'll be spellbound, as you discover just how simple it is to create a 'buying loop' that acts like a powerful electromagnet, when your prospect is ready to buy. That way you get every precious cent owing to you.

And, here's something I've saved until almost last because it's (almost) the very best part of this.

Did you know it's possible to continue to enjoy the same sort of commission arrangements as Hollywood movie stars? Well it's true! Because, much of their wealth piles up long after they've left the studio and moved on to another project. So Jeremy and Simon will show you exactly how to enjoy fat commission checks rolling in automatically, months – and even years – after you've made the actual sale!

And that's truly the Holy Grail of marketing – autopilot income whilst you relax and enjoy yourself. So just imagine your life, a few exciting months down the line, when you can fully exploit Jeremy and Simon's battle-hardened techniques.

Because you'll be up to speed with picking the very best, effort-free highest paying programs – many on a regular repeat basis – you'll have finally broken the link between the hours you work and the money you make.

Finally, you'll have plenty of spare cash and the leisure time to take your loved ones on that vacation of a lifetime. Almost before you know it you'll be able to really relax and savor the experience of doing what you've wanted to do for years … give your boss the pink slip and step up to join the elite super-rich affiliates.

Once the free launch period is over, the regular price for this program will be $27, which is a very fair price for the keys to The Kingdom Of Super Affiliate Status. Yet – if you hit this link right away  you might still be able to snag the entire package for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Using Search.Twitter.com and Review Sites

Here’s a quick tip: Use search.twitter.com to find products that people have been searching for AND for which you have a review site.

Alternatively, if you don’t have a site but you find a lot of results for a particular product category, create one!

The Golden Rule

You’ve heard it before, and you practice it nearly every day. It’s called the “Golden Rule.” Do unto others. Treat others how you like to be treated.

It’s a simple philosophy. Nearly every religion is based on the Golden Rule. In fact, all major religions share that value.

In business, you’re out to crush your competitor. Or at least take his business. You want the customers’ money. There is no room for empathy, or is there?

Can you really care about your customer or your competitor? Well, if you want to be successful in business, you’d better learn how.

In EVERY business transaction, all parties involved must benefit by virtually the same measure. I buy your product for $27 because I perceive it to give me at least that much in value. Otherwise, I’d be better off not buying it.

Same goes for you. You trade a book you’ve written for $27 because you value the transaction (and much more importantly the relationship) at least worth the financial gain.

So, the Golden Rule does apply to business. What? What about your competition? You want all of his customers right? Not really. We all provide slightly different goods and services. We have our own assets that vary slightly from our rivals. If all of his customers (for example, buyers of bread) came to you instead, you’d have a problem. Perhaps you make flatbreads but he makes french breads.

But you’re enterprising! You’d figure out a way to make french bread. But what about other doughy goods? Wheat, rye, buttertop, 7-grain, etc.

You cannot be everything to everybody. Soon, you’d be failing miserably in many different product categories, and your core competency might fail too! Then, your customers leave. Perhaps the market dries up. All your competitors are gone, you’re making horrible products — consumers might just decide that bread isn’t worth the hassle any more.

See?

The Golden Rule will serve you well in all of your endeavors: Business, online and offline; relationships; chance interactions.

Basically, the idea is this: Put yourself in your counterpart’s shoes (could be a customer, a rival, or a lover). If the feeling you get isn’t a good one, PASS. If the feeling isn’t bad, ask yourself a follow-up: How can both of us mutually benefit? In other words:

WIN-WIN

You should seek win-win in every interaction you have. Otherwise, it’s a short-term victory at the expense of a long-term success.

To read more about how the Golden Rule applies to business, read Wired to Care. It’s simply a fantastic book about companies who “get it” and how they apply it to all they do.

Build a Better Online Business with WordPress

Beginning in the year 2002, blogs changed the online marketing world, quite possibly forever. While most people at that time started with various blogging systems, eventually most of them shifted to WordPress. WordPress has become so much more since then: A powerful website Content Management System that emerged from the need for a better blogging system.

If you read any popular blogging tips online, WordPress is often positioned as a tool that well, creates a blog. But an increasing number of marketers are finding that you can also use it as the most important tool upon which you can grow a profitable business empire. The most powerful function of WordPress itself lies in its ability to manage large amounts of text, audio and video content. After a dozen pages it becomes difficult to manage a static HTML site. Although you can use template-driven software as well like SBI or DreamWeaver, nothing beats the ease of WordPress.

Using premium blogging tools (many of them free), you can easily create a static website, an article directory, a WordPress-based membership site, a complete e-commerce site, an auction site, a portfolio site and so much more. As a matter of fact, you can also just about use it for anything.

Besides that, Search Engine Optimization is another important element. By default, WordPress is pretty good at optimizing and creating SEO-friendly content. However you can also get more serious and utilize simple WordPress plugins to further increase your SEO rankings and get better Yahoo, Google, or Bing rankings.

However, the best thing about WordPress is its flexibility. You can easily switch between WordPress themes, and improve its functions by using plugins and even some custom programming. PLUS, it’s free.

If you aren’t using WordPress yet, you should seriously consider doing so. The learning curve has reduced substantially in the past 3 years. At the moment it’s so easy to use even a six-year old kid can figure it out. To power your online business, go ahead and use WordPress!
