Start making money is not so difficult task if you have a knowledge of right tools and techniques, Now let come to the point. To start making money online as an Affiliate is to sell products This is where you promote other people’s products, and you make a commission from each sale. You send people from your website to the products owner's website, and when a person buys that product you get a commission. So in other terms affiliate marketing is a method of promoting different products and services through a unique ( URL) website address and you make a commission of each sale. The benefits of affiliate marketing are that you do not have to deal with any customer issues. You do not have to supply anything or provide anything or do any shipping or product any products. You are just acting as the middle person. Your only job is finding and selling a product to the correct person and collection your cheques. You can make a commission by selling either a physical product or a digital product. The commission rate for a physical product is between 1% and 20%. Most companies give a commission of between 8%-10%. So if for example you sell a computer for $500 and the company gives you a rate of 8% then your commission will be $40.
The most popular recommended websites than you can sign up are: |
| On the other hand when you are selling a digital product such as an e-book the commission rate is much higher. The commission rate is usually between 50% and 100% Yes there are some times that you can earn up to 100% commissions. The owner does that for different reasons that I am not going to analyze here. Some of the greatest digital affiliate networks that you can find many affiliate products to promote are |
These are the greatest networks where you can find more than 20,000 different digital products |
Your Own Products |
| The one more option for you is to create your own digital product or even your own physical |
| The advantage though is that you can make whole lot money with this option than by selling other people's products or by placing ads on your websites. You will have selling other people's products or by placing ads on your websites. You will have other people to sell your products That means free advertising for you. If they don’t make you any sales then you will not pay them. It's that simple |
| These are really the only three options for making money online. The question you need to |
| ask yourself is “Which is the best option for you?” |
| If you are newbie in the world of internet marketing creating your own product or createing |
This can be the best option for a newbie because… |
| 1. You do not need to create a lot of content thousands of web pages |
| 2. You do not need to create your own products |
| 3. You do not need to handle with buyers |
| 4. You do not need to support the customers |
| 5. You do not need a sizeable investment |
| 6. You do not need to “go” to your work |
| 7. You can sell thousands of products on the same time if you want to |
| 8. You will not earn just a few cents for ever y click but dollars |
| 9. And much more! |
| The Secret Money Formula |
| Your Cheque = [Traffic] x [Conversion Rate] |
| x [$ Per Customer] x [# Of Transactions] |
| I will give you an example on how this formula is calculated in affiliate marketing terms: |
| Let’s say you have an affiliate website that promotes a dog training eBook and your |
| statistics are the following. |
| Website Traffic: |
| 100 visitors per day |
| Conversion Rate: |
| 1% (That means you make 1 sale per 100 visitors) |
| $ Per Customer: |
| $25.00 (You earn $ 25.00 commission for each eBook) |
| # Of Transactions: |
| 1.5 (Customers usually buy 1 product from you, but some people opt |
I will talk about |
| mailing lists and email marketing in the “email marketing” section |
| Therefore the average affiliate commission you make from this website per day is. |
| Your Earnings = 100 x 1% x $25.00 x 1.5 = $37,5/day |
| This is pretty good. Now imagine building 10-20 or even 100 affiliate websites earning you |
| $37.5/day. There are some affiliates (called super affiliates) that are making $100,000 per |
| month or even more! Well the sky is the limit! |
| But also keep in mind that not all websites will earn you $37.5/day or money. Some will not |
| make you a single cent and some other will make you more than $37.5 day. This is just |
| average earnings per website for a day |
| Sign Up With The Aff iliate Networks |
| When you sign up with an affiliate network they will give you a unique id and website |
| address (URL). That way they will know that a sale was made by you and give you a share |
| of it ( your commission). |
| As I told you before you can make affiliate commissions from both physical and digital |
| products and services. It is up too you on what you want to promote. The two best affiliate |
| networks for digital products are |
| and |
The best networks of physical products are :- |
Now i am going to teach you how to promote a digital product or a service by using |
| each of these websites. It is very easy to apply to a network. You just fill out a form with |
| your details and apply. Some networks will require you to have a quality website will lots of |
| accepted. |
| What You Must Be Aware Of Before Signing Up With An Affiliate Network |
| One important thing you have to consider is to select a good nickname. That nickname |
| that you choose is going to be present in the link that you use to send to other people. |
| When they click on the link they are going to see your nickname. So do NOT use a |
| nickname such as “ |
John
| ” or “ |
| Affiliate100 |
| ” or “ |
| InternetMillionaire |
| ” etc. Use a nickname |
| that blends in with a website address. |
| “ |
| specialoffer100 |
| ”, “ |
| gowebsite |
” |
Also I would advice you not to give any false information when you sign up. You want to |
| give your real name and address since they will send you affiliate cheques! Give your real |
| telephone number. They might call you someday just to verify your contact information or |
| ask you something. This is rarely but it can happen |
The First and most rare problem of Newbie is How To Select A Niche Market? |
How to Find a Hungry Market ?
| The first step that an affiliate marketer has to complete (after signing up for a network) is to |
| find a ”hungry” market. |
| You got to find a profitable market. You don’t want to spend time on niches that people are not looking to buy no matter how big or small this niche is. You must find a market that people are desperate to solve their problem and are able to pay to get it solved. |
This is one of the biggest mistakes that newbies make. They start trying to sell a product |
| or a service without knowing if there are really any people out there that want to buy it. |
| Also make sure that you are interested about that market or even better have passion |
| about it. That way it will be even easier for you to market your visitors. You don’t want to |
| enter a market that you are not interested and find it boring. The possibility of succeeding |
| is very minimal. |
| One mistake that many newbies make is that they believe that they have to be an expert |
| on the current subject. This is not 100% true. All you need to do is research and learn as |
| much as you can on that niche. |
| Here are some examples of profitable niches: |
| etc. |
| Of course there are HUNDREDS of more niches and sub niches that you can make an |
| adequate amount of money. |
| If you want to make a lot of sales then you have to choose a sub niche of a niche (or a |
| niche of a niche). Target several sub niches and your sales conversion rate will be higher |
What Is Actually A Profitable Niche Market? |
| Before showing you how to find a profitable niche market you have to understand what |
| actually a profitable niche market is. No it is not a niche that has a lot of searches. |
| For example there are about 5,000,000 (five million) searches for the keyword “ |
| flowers |
| ” |
| and only 8,100 searches for the keyword phrase “ |
| same day delivery flowers |
| ”. However the |
| market of “ |
| same day delivery flowers” |
| is much profitable! |
| Remember that not all traffic is profitable and certain keywords will never convert into |
| sales. The idea is to get profitable keywords that have a decent number of searches per |
| month, and low competition. |
| So what exactly is a profitable niche market? A profitable niche market is |
to fix their problems AND also you are able to target and market that specific group |
of people. |
| Let me analyze this with examples so that you can understand it better |
| group of people that have common problems” |
| These are people that have problems on a specific subject. For example these could be. |
| 1. Pit bull dog owners that have problems with their dog’s barking. |
| 2. Golf players that want to better their golf swing. |
| 3. Students that want to know how to pay their college fees. |
| 4. Credit card owners that want to fix their credit card score. |
| 5. World Of Warcraft game players that want to know how to make gold |
| 6. A farmer that wants to know how to build a chicken coop |
| and MILLIONS of other niches.. able to spend money to fix their problems". |
| There might be many people that have a specific problem. However this doesn’t mean that |
reasons, but all that you want to find out is if this group of people is buyers and will spend |
money on information that is going to help them solve their problem. Also you have to be sure that there is an amount of people in that niche where you can profit from them. You do not want to join a market that is easy to target but is too small to profit from them or a market that is too big and competitive. You might found a great market able to spend money to fix their problem. However, you as an affiliate marketer might not be able to target them with you someone else solution This could be because there is a lot of competition or just because you don’t know exactly how to help this group of people solve their problem. I don't know what your budget is an how much money you can invest in your online business. What I don't recommend you to do ( especially if you are a newbie in the internet marketing) is to target high searched keyword phrases like " |
| ”, “ |
| ” and spend a massive amount of money just to reach all these people. |
| These kind of keywords will convert every 1,000 or more visitors (if they convert at all). |
| Test , Test and then Test Some More! |
| They might be a “ |
| a sized group of people that have common problems” |
| , “ |
| able to |
| spend money to fix their problems” |
| and you might have the budget to be able to “ |
| target |
| these people” |
| however this does not guarantees you that all these people will buy through your affiliate link |
| That is why you have to test everything. Test your headlines, your copywriting, your keywords, the products, your bonuses and you might be surprised of how much different it can do to your affiliate earnings. Try to target several sub niches that you have a specific problem. As more specific the higher your conversion rate will be |
| How To Find A Profitable Niche Market? |
| Now that you know what a profitable niche market is, it is now time to find that perfect |
| niche. |
| Step 1: |
| The first step you have to make is to find a group of people that have common problems. |
| Let’s say you love pets and especially dogs. You have a Pit Bull dog and you know how |
| these dogs behave, what they like, what problems they have etc. It will be easier for you to |
| brainstorm this sub-niche and make a list of different problems and solutions. For example |
| Pets > Dogs > Pit Bull Dogs |
| > Training > House Training |
| > Training > Attacking on People |
| > Food > Unhealthy/Healthy Food |
| and so on…. |
| Start looking for more information on different forums. Join them and see what people are |
| discussing. Browse the |
Open Directory Project to find quality forums in your niche. You can also use your favorite search engine but unlike a search engine because the directory is put together by people the types of sites that get in are usually of a higher quality.
Once you join a couple of forums you can start finding out what their questions are, what |
| their problems are, what they are looking to solve, what their frustrations are, what |
| products they are buying already, what products they don’t like etc. In our example you |
| have to find what problems all these pit bull dog owners have. Find out their worries and |
| what bothers them. |
| Open a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad and write down as more notes you can. |
| Collect information such as different questions and fears that these dog owners have. |
| Of course one of your best “ weapons” is to use a keyword tool to find out how many |
| people are searching for a certain keyword phrase. Some good keyword tools that you can |
| use are |
| , |
| , |
| , |
These programs provide a huge complement of SEO research and page analysis tools, as well as a powerful host of PPC research and monitoring tools. If you want to get an indispensable research tool, track your own website's performance, and peeking under the hood of your competitor's sites these tools are must ! I would highly recommend you to download the |
| FREE version |
| and |
| and test these two tools. |
| So you just type in your keywords ex |
| in your favorite keyword tool and make a list |
| of different keyword phrases. A free keyword tool you can use is the Google Adwords |
| Keywords tool. This tells you how many people are searching for keywords or keyword |
| phrases each month. I would recommend you to change the language and countries |
| settings to “ |
| All Countries and Territories” |
| and from “ |
| Broad” |
| to “ |
| Exact” |
| on the top right hand |
| side of the page. |
| Go to the different affiliate networks and browse their marketplace. In ClickBank you can |
| see how well a specific product is by checking the Gravity. The higher the number is the |
| more sales that product makes. |
| Step 2: |
| Then you have to find out if these people are able to spend money to fix their problems. |
| One of the easiest and cheapest ways is to search on Google for targeted keyword |
| phrases and see if there are any ads. If there are ads displayed then there is lot of |
| possibility that this market is profitable. No one will continue having their ads on Google |
| when they are not making any money! |
| Also you can see if there are any advertisers by using the |
| Look at the “ |
| Advertiser Competition |
| ” column. There you will see how much competition |
| there is in Google Network for a certain keyword phrase. The greener the shaded bar is |
| then more people are currently advertising. You can also see how much advertisers bid for |
| a keyword phrase. |
| Step 3: |
| Now its time to do your homework and see how easy is to target and market that specific |
| group of people. The first thing that you must be sure about is that you know how to help |
| this group of people solve their problem. For example people that search for “ |
| house dog training want to know how to train their dog at their own home. They do not want to spend |
time and money on dog trainers or dog training classes. If you have the information with |
| , |
| , |
| How To Beat The Search Engine Competition and rank your website in Google ? |
| This step is to simply find out how difficult it is to rank in Google for your selected keyword |
| phrases. There are numerous factors you have to consider to see if you can get a nice |
| webpage ranking for your selected keywords phrases. |
| As I told in the last section before, there are two great tools that will not only do a keyword |
| research but also will show you the search engine optimization competition and how hard |
| it is to rank your websites in the first page. These two tools are |
| and |
This is why I will show you how to make a manual SEO competition research. However it |
| requires much more time doing it manually than using software but it is 100% free. |
| Open a Spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel so that you can copy and paste all the gathered |
| data. |
| One of the most important factors you have to check is to find how many links a website |
| gets (incoming links, inbound links) for an exact keyword phrase. You have to check this |
| on both Google and Yahoo! Now to see how many links (on average) you will need to get |
| ranked in Google you have to |
| and type in. |
| ”YOUR KEYWORD PHRASE” |
| for example |
| See how many websites target this exact keyword phrase. Note that Google does not |
| show us all the results but you will get a broad estimation. |
| You can do a similar check on |
| . In the search box type in: |
| ”YOUR KEYWORD PHRASE” |
| for example |
| See how many other websites target this exact keyword phrase in Yahoo! |
| Another important factor is to check how many websites have your selected keywords in |
| their title.Also check how many other websites have this exact keyword phrase in their title in |
Yahoo! Type the following in the Yahoo! Search box. |
”YOUR KEYWORD PHRASE” |
| You can also use the following command. |
| Write down the number of the results that Yahoo! shows you. |
| Run this 5-10 step process for all of your keyword phrases and you should have an idea of |
| how many backlinks it will take to rank for these keywords. |
| Now go back to Google and make a normal search eg |
Take the first 5-10 results. If most of the top 10 webpages are inner pages with few links to |
| them, then the pages are being ranked based on the site authority rather than the page |
| itself. That means it would be not that hard to rank for those keyword phrases! So if you |
| see pages from big websites like Amazon.com, EzineArticles. ebay, bestbuy.com etc there |
| is a better change for your affiliate websites to get a very good search engine ranking |
| Of course search engine optimization consist several other factors but these factors are |
| the most important to estimate if you will be able to target the specific group of people for free |
| That’s why if you see that the top 10 websites all have tens of thousands of backlinks, it is |
| unlikely you are going to outrank them as that could take you years. I would recommend |
| you to target profitable niches with not much competition. |
| How To Know Which Digital Product or Service to Promote ? |
| digital products and services. It is ver y easy to search and find hundreds and hundreds of |
| products that you can instantly promote. |
| When you visit the marketplace of ClickBank.com or PayDotCom you will see that there |
| are more than 10,000 digital products listed. You can browse ClickBank’s Marketplace or |
| PayDotCom’s Marketplace and find different products in different categories. You can view |
| all the websites that promote a digital product. If you want to promote cheap digital |
| products, as low as $7, then look in PayDotCom. Clickbank's products are usually more |
| expensive.The question is, which one should you promote? |
| First of all you should find a product that you would be happy promoting. |
| An important factor is to make sure that it match and solves the problem of the visitors you |
| are targeting. If you found that the “ |
| ” niche is profitable then you have |
| to give this exact solution. Not all dog training programs are suitable for those visitors. |
| These visitors have a specific dog problem. Dog barking! They currently do not care much |
| about other dog problems. They do not care about dog obedience. Of course if you find a |
| product that ALSO solves that problem it is an added value and will definitely increase the |
| commissions. There are a few things that you have to consider before deciding which |
| product to promote. |
| There a few things that you have to consider before deciding which product to promote. |
| 1. The quality of the product |
| 2. The quality of their website |
| Usually when a product has a lot of sales it is good. That is why you have to have a look at |
| the gravity score (GRAV) (for Clickbank) or the Affiliate Power Score (APS) score (for |
| PayDotCom). Nobody actually knows the exact formula since both Clickbank and |
| PayDotCom keep the algorithm secret. |
But basically, a product with high gravity means |
| The conversion rate of landing page is high, since lots of affiliates successfully sell |
| it. |
| The product is hot, high demand market at that time, since it based on recent sales |
| and not how many sales made years ago. |
| It is the latest, the best product in the market at recently. |
The number of searches made on product name keyword is high recently. |
| Keep a note of the top websites in your niche that have a gravity of 1 or more. Do not start |
| promoting the product with the highest gravity. Avoid products with a gravity score of 30 or |
| more! A product with a gravity of 30 ore more means that the competition is high enough |
| and it is very difficult to get a good ranking in Google. On the other hand a gravity of 1 or |
| less means that affiliates are not making enough sales. If the product has no gravity it |
| usually means that it is a new product and nobody actually promoted it yet. These |
| products might not worth your time. |
| On the other hand the APS at PayDotCom with depends on a number of factors such as |
| the number of sales, total refunds, and affiliate earnings with special emphasis put on the |
| number of unique affiliates making sales over the last 150 days with recent transactions |
| having more relevance. The highest APS a product has the better that product is. I would |
| recommend you to chose a product that has an affiliate power score of between 10 and |
| 100. It would be better to avoid a product that has a very high competition or that do not |
| have many sales from the affiliates in the last 150 days. |
| What else should you check? You should also check out the actual product page so you |
| can see for yourself the website. Here are some important key points you have to consider |
| and answer yourself. |
| • Do they have a professional looking website with quality images? |
| • Does the website have good headline? Does it give a strong benefit to the visitor? |
| • Do they have any proof of their method? |
| • Do they include any testimonials from people that successfully used the product? |
| • Do they get people on a list? (Asking for an email address in exchange for |
| something free). |
| After finding a product that you want to promote I would recommend to buy it and test it |
yourself. Also remember. Do not promote a product just because you can earn more per |
| sale. The customer always comes first. |
| Now it is time to login into your account and find the specific website in the marketplace. In |
| Clickbank you have to click on “ |
| .A new window will get opened. There you will have to enter your username. Also you can type a Tracking ID. You will use this so that you know from which link you have done the sale. In your affiliate website you might have created more than one link. In order to see which link makes you the most sales you have |
| to use a tracking id. |
| For example you could call it |
| specialoffer1, website1, downpage |
| etc |
| You will know that this link with anchor text eg “ |
| Click Here |
| ” or “ |
Excellent Dog Training etc makes you the most sales. You will know which webpage has a higher
| conversion rate. You will know which link in the whole page makes you the most commissions or does not make you any money etc. With a tracking ID you will be able to analyze the results and better your affiliate websites |
| . |
| Now click on |
| Create |
| . That is your unique affiliate link from ClickBank. |
| For the PayDotCom network you just click on |
| Shop Marketplace |
| . Once you find a product |
| you just click on the |
| Promote link |
| . Log in into your account and get your unique affiliate |
| link. |
| Cloak You Links. |
| An affiliate link is usually ugly. For example ClickBank will give you a link such as |
| http://59dg-01s4g4sdg4-v7j4sd459w.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SPECIALOFFER |
When a visitor sees a link like this he will know that is an affiliate link. People do not like |
| affiliate links. There are people that will not even have a look at your recommended |
| product just because of the ugly affiliate link. |
| This is why it is important to cloak your affiliate links. So when someone visits your websites and click on your www.yourwebsite.com/easydogtraining he will be redirected to the product’s website through your affiliate link. This is how you can do it. It is very simple process |
| How To Build Your Affiliate Website |
| Get A Domain Name And Hosting |
| Before designing your affiliate website you have to register a domain name and buy a |
| hosting account so that you can pre-sell the products. One websites where you can |
| register cheap domains a |
NameCheap.com register a domain name that has benefit words inside. Keep it simple and avoid
Register a domain name that has “benefit” words inside. Keep it simple and avoid |
replacing characters such as (eg dogz.com, eazy.com) |
| Also the shortest your domain is the better. |
Prefer getting a domain name with your “profitable” keyword |
| phrases inside. For example you could get |
| DogJumpingTraining.com, |
| InstantDogTraining.com |
| Remember you are not trying to sell the domain name, so don’t waist your time looking for |
| the million dollar domain name. On the other hand if you are the owner of an excellent |
| domain name such as DogTraining.com, GolfSwing.com I would recommend you to use |
| that domain name! Of course you could sell the domain name for a lot of money but that is |
| another story! |
| Prefer registering a |
| , a |
extension since it is recognized by the most |
.com is and will always be KING.
Also you will need to get a reliable hosting for your website. Nowadays web hosting is very |
| cheap and most of us will never use all that storage and bandwidth they give us. Most cheap hosting company is Hostgator of course there are hundreds of more hosting companies where you can host your affiliate |
websites. Just make sure that they allow you to host multiple websites, offer several email |
| accounts and databases and you can get fast support. Also select a host where you can |
Well yes WordPress is usually used to build a blog website. However you can |
| still use this platform to build a normal affiliate website in minutes! If you are a newbie and |
| you don’t have any idea of how to create a simple website by using an HTML editor and |
| upload it to your hosting account then WordPress is the perfect solution! |
| After installing WordPress on your domain you have to register and create an |
| administrator account. When you login you can instantly create a page. Usually with a blog |
| you should create blog posts. Instead of creating a new post, you will create new pages so |
| that it doesn’t show the date of the post. Sometimes visitors will never read your review |
| just because of an “old” date. |
| Give your website a good appearance by downloading |
to your affiliate website. |
| On the other hand if you are familiar with HTML or other programming language such as |
| PHP you can manually create your webpages with software. You might already have a |
| HTML editor installed on your computer such as |
| if you have the |
| appropriate Microsoft Office Suite. If not that is OK. There are also free options available. |
| You can always use a free HTML editor like the |
| or |
CoffeeCup to create and edit the webpages. Feel free do use the software that you feel comfortable with.
To upload your files you can use free FTP software such as the |
| What Should You Write On Your Affiliate Website? |
| People are looking for a review. They just want to find other people that have been |
| successfully used the product. They want to find other people that got their problem solved |
| because of the information they found in the ebook, video etc. |
| That is why you should do a review. Try to write a short review of the product in plain |
| English. List all the benefits of that product and tell exactly how this product is going to |
| solve their problem. People want to read an informative and complete product review. Be |
| honest. Include BOTH the pros and cons. The whole purpose is to help the website visitor |
| make a purchasing decision, by providing your personal experience with the product. |
| One mistake that many newbies make is that they are trying to sell the product through |
| their affiliate website. Do not fall in this trap! |
| The purpose of making an affiliate website |
| is to pre-sell the product and NOT to sell it! |
| Now some people might not like your recommendation. They might not trust the product, |
| the price might be too high or it is not exactly that they were looking for. That is why you |
| can also list other related products in the page. But do not overdo it. People will not trust |
| you if you give 10 solutions! People only want one solution that works. |
| However in order for the visitors to actually read your review you have to grab their |
| attention first. You have to write a high compelling headline so that you make the visitor |
| read the review. Because if nobody reads your review then nobody will buy the product |
| through you affiliate link! |
| A good tactic is to make a question. eg " |
| Did I Really Trained My dog At Home In Just 2 |
| Weeks? |
| ”. People will want to read further. They want to find out if that XYZ dog training |
| product helped them to stop dog barking etc. |
| Another way is to make a statement. Eg " |
| Discover How To Design Your Garden |
| ”, “ |
| How To |
| Become A Professional Golf Player” |
| , “ |
| How I lost 20 pounds in 14 days |
| ” etc. |

Building a highly profitable mailing list is a must for every internet marketer not |
| matter in which niche you are or business model you use. |
| How To Build An Email List |
| How do you actually start building a list? Well all you need are just three things. |
| 1. An autoresponder service |
| 2. A free offer |
| 3. A squeeze page |
| Autoresponder Service |
| To build your email list you will need to join an autoresponder company. The best three |
| autoresponder companies that you can use are: |
| Aweber |
| , |
| GetResponse |
| and |
| ProSender |
| . I |
| am personally using |
| GetResponse |
| but all companies do very similar things and are highly |
| recommended. |
| You will use their service for email marketing. What basically an autoresponder company |
| does is building a database with your email subscriptions. |
| These companies automatically deal with subscriptions, unsubscriptions, and once you |
| have set up the messages that you are going to send to people, they will send to people |
| automatically when they join your list. |
| Setting up a mailing list is very easy. In the members area you can create a new mailing |
| list and an opt-in form. You will use this opt-in form so that you can get people on your |
| email list. |
| You would write say five messages, one that would go instantly when somebody signs up, |
| the second that would go the day after, the third that would go after five days and so on. |
| When somebody signs up, they get sent these messages one today, one tomorrow, and |
| one after five days automatically. You just write these messages one time, put them in the |
| autoresponder, and then anybody who joins goes through this sequence. Of course you |
| will also do broadcasts and promote affiliate products whenever you want too! |
| Freebie |
| The second thing that you will need is a free offer (freebie). You will need to give some sort |
| of a valuable freebie to you website visitors in exchange of their email address. Some |
| types of freebies that you can give away are an ebook, a report, an audio, a video tutorial |
| a combination of an ebook and an audio etc. You have to give something that is going to |
| attract people and make them want to join your list. But do not thing that people will give |
| you their email address for just anything that is free. You have to give free information, but |
| not all information is the same. You must give away real valuable information that people |
| will find interesting and learn from. |
| Squeeze Page |
| You will also need a squeeze page. What basically a squeeze page is a landing page that |
| is especially designed to collect opt-in email addresses from prospective subscribers. It is |
| a page that has a strong and a promising headline with different bullet points that lists the |
| benefits that the subscriber will receive when they download the freebie. |
| Of course you can also include an opt-in form inside your affiliate website. So when |
| someone does not buy your recommended product through your affiliate link, you can |
| always get him to buy the product after he joins your list to get his free report! |
| But how do I create that free e-book report?” |
| you might ask. |
| You can do this by writing a special report in |
| OpenOffice.org Writer |
| (A free Word Processor |
| from the OpenOffice.org Suite) and compile it into a PDF report just like this e-book. |
| If you cannot write a 20 page report about your niche a solution is to |
| download a PLR |
| (Private Label Rights) product |
rewrite it and compile it into a new PDF report that you can |
| give away a freebie. |
| Another option is to download different |
| MRR (Master Resell Rights) products |
| and give |
them away without having to write or rewrite anything! Of course every MRR product has |
| different rights. So you have to be sure that you have the rights to giveaway the MRR |
| product for free. |

| How To Leverage Your Affiliate Commission |
| Once you finish your affiliate review there are also some more steps that you can take to |
| improve your conversion rate. There are hundreds and hundreds of affiliates that might be |
| promoting the same product like you. So how do you compete with other affiliates? |
| You will need to |
| add more value. |
| By adding more value you are increasing the change of making more sales through your |
| affiliate link. |
| Create A Bonus |
| One way to add more value is to offer a bonus for the visitors that will buy through your |
| affiliate link. This is a technique that ever y successful internet marketer does. |
| So what can you offer? A bonus can be anything. Just like a freebie you can create a |
| special PDF report and give it to the buyers that have bought only through you affiliate link. |
| However you should offer something that has value for the potential buyer. So if for |
| example you are promoting a “ |
| dog barking training |
| ” product, you can offer something |
| related for example an extra ebook about “ |
| dog jumping training |
| ”. You have to think like the |
| buyer. |
| I know that as a newbie it can be hard to create different bonuses. That is why I will help |
| you by giving you some |
| master resell rights (that have bonus rights) |
| . If you can’t find a |
| product in your niche, you can also search the internet for free master resell rights |
| products |
| Final Thoughts |
| FOCUS in one business model. |
| If all you do is trying something else every time in the end you will FAIL! |
| Making money online is NOT easy at the beginning. There is just so much information and |
| different internet marketing strategies out there that no one can really use them all |
| immediately. Not even the best internet marketing gurus. |
| It is ver y important to focus and give enough effort and time on your selected method and |
| websites and then you continue to something else. |
| Treat affiliate marketing as a real business. |
| I am not saying to spend 10-16 hours a day on your affiliate websites. What I am saying is |
| that you have to work in your affiliate websites either this is for 1 hour a day, 4 hours a day |
| or even 8 hours a day. Surfing the internet will never make you money. |
| Once you finish your affiliate websites and bonuses you should constantly promote them. |
| No matter how great your websites are, or how profitable your niche is you will not make |
| any money without getting any traffic. So after finishing your website and the bonus you |
| will need to spend time on promotion. |
| You really want to make a lot of money online. But if you get into it just with that money at |
| the forefront of your mind, you will never make enough money online! |
| Always put the customer in front. Think of it in terms of, “ |
| How can I help people the most? |
| You should care and respect them even they are not actually your own customers! Still, |
| they trusted you! That is why they bought the product or the service that you |
| recommended. And the most important of all is that they will buy again and again other |
| related products in the future that you will recommend through your email list. If you helped |
| them find the solution of the X problem they will definitely trust you about the Y problem! |
