“ARE AFFILIATES
IN DEMAND?”
I sometimes sounds too good to be true:
advertising that's guaranteed to work or it's
free! Newcomers wonder if it's possible, and
skeptics claim that the cost effective prices
of affiliate marketing lower the bar for
online advertising. But there is a good
reason that affiliate marketing has
experienced steady growth throughout the
ups and downs of online advertising—it
works. And affiliate marketing has evolved
to become a reliable source of sales for a
wide range of marketers.
Affiliate marketing has evolved from the
early years when some touted it as the
future of online advertising, and others
claimed it was the downfall of the medium.
It's now a sophisticated channel that
generates anywhere from five to 25% of
online sales for many of the world's biggest
brands.
Almost all major multi-channel marketers
have an affiliate program of some kind. The
important thing to remember is that affiliate
programs now come in all shapes and sizes.
The concept of a wide-open affiliate
program with an unlimited and uncontrolled
number of affiliates is a thing of the past.
Nearly all marketers agree that affiliates add
value to an online marketing effort, but the
program must be tailored to meet the
marketer's objectives.
Affiliate marketing did not bring an end to
other, higher priced forms of online media
advertising. The success of the affiliate
marketing in delivering sales cost effectively
by way of a pay-for-performance model
paved the way for other forms of
performance-based advertising, such as
CPA-based search and portal advertising, to
create acceptance among direct marketers.
Affiliate marketing has evolved, with
affiliates and marketers becoming more
sophisticated and programs more integrated
with other forms of online marketing.

Instant Affiliate Commissions!
1.
If you already have your affiliate products and you're
working at making more sales, an increase in commissions
is the obvious goal of everyone. With more and more
products hitting the online market, it's essential to follow
some simple yet crucial steps. So what are they?
One of the easiest ways of starting an online business and earning quick profits is through affiliate
marketing. With no website to develop, no product development to achieve, no refunds or customer
problems to deal with, this is by far the most effective way of developing your online presence.
If you already have your affiliate products and you're working at making more sales, an increase in
commissions is the obvious goal of everyone. With more and more products hitting the online market, it's
essential to follow some simple yet crucial steps. So what are they?
If you want your affiliate program commissions to take off, literally overnight, these are the steps
you need to seriously consider…
Do your research and check out the programs you're thinking about promoting. It's pretty
obvious that you only want to promote a product that will give you the maximum
paycheck in the shortest possible time.
The main factors to consider when doing this are obvious when you stop and think about them,
but more often than not, are not fully considered before putting your time and money into making
your product pay. Check the commission structure and make sure it pays well. Also, try to find
products that match your target audience and are already paying well to other affiliates. You soon
know when a program isn't meeting up to its promises - that's the time to reconsider its worth
and move on to the next.
As you're probably going to be one of many affiliates promoting the same product, especially if it's
a good one, establish your USP - or 'Unique Selling Position'. Set yourself up as offering that
little something extra that makes you stand out above the crowd. Write a short article to give
away as an incentive to potential buyers. This gives you both greater credibility and extra
drawing power.
Give information that's not only free, but useful. When you do this, if what you give away for free
is good, people naturally expect a great deal more from the bought product. Make
recommendations about the product within the report if you can, and try to give just enough
information to make people need the actual product.
When giving away free reports or ebooks, save and collect, at the very least, the name and
email addresses of all those who download your gift. It's now widely known that very few
people make a purchase on their first introduction to a product.
This is where an autoresponder is invaluable as you can create a whole series of follow up
messages to send to these prospects to entice them into buying your product. Anywhere between
6 and 10 messages are needed to finally clinch the sale, so automate this process and capitalize on
the free report.
Once you have these prospects details, they are yours until the person unsubscribes. This means
that you can send them information in the months ahead about other products you're promoting,
long after they've bought the original item.
If you develop an ezine, you are in a perfect position to send more valuable, and occasional free,
information to these prospects who now value you as a source of knowledge and useful
recommendations. You develop a relationship with them and they may stay with you for years to
come. They begin to trust you and your recommendations and eventually, are likely to buy from
you again.

3. Never underestimate the power of negotiation. Be prepared to haggle with a seller whose
goods you wish to promote. Remember that all merchants need affiliates to market and sell
their goods and will be more inclined to change their payment structure than potentially
loose business if they see you as a good source of income.
Be bold and you could find yourself receiving a greater slice of the pie for all your advertising
efforts. Don't be greedy but be fair and you will be respected for it.
4. Use effective advertising techniques. 'Pay Per Click' will give you the most immediate
results if you do your research right. Naturally, Google's Adwords and Overture are the
places to start, being leaders in the online PPC field. But, look around and research the
smaller players who offer cheaper rates to a smaller audience. These include; ExcelSeek,
JumpFind, LookQuick to name just three.
Ezine Top Sponsor and Solo ads can also give you a huge and quick return on your advertising
buck with your ad being received by a responsive audience of your chosen market.
And as with any advertising campaigns - track your results. If you don't
know who's clicking what, you'll never know which ads are working.
Use these techniques and you'll soon see an immediate improvement
in your affiliate sales. Build on your successes and expansion
and growth will follow.

PRACTISE
8 Reasons To Be
Truly Grateful
People who approach life with a sense of gratitude are constantly aware of what's wonderful in their life. Because they enjoy the fruits of their successes, they seek out more success. And when things don't go as planned, people who are grateful can put failure into perspective.
By contrast, people who lack gratitude are never truly happy. If they succeed at a task, they don't enjoy it. For them, a string of successes is like trying to fill a bucket with a huge leak in the bottom. And failure invariably makes them bitter, angry, and discouraged.
Therefore, if you want to be successful, you need to feel more gratitude. Fortunately, gratitude, like most emotions, is like a muscle: The more you use it, the stronger and more resilient it becomes.
8 REASONS
Being Alive. Any day above ground is a good day.
Challenge. Nothing is fun without an obstacle to overcome.
Family. Even the most difficult ones have some saving graces.
Friends. Being a friend is the only better thing than having one.
Free Will. It may be an illusion, but it's great to have a choice.
Nature. A walk on the beach or in the woods renews your spirit.
Work. If you were financially independent, you'd still keep busy, right?
Love. As the Beatles famously sang, it's all you really need.

Secrets To Affiliate
Marketing List
Building
The Money is in the List?
I am sure that you have heard this before. If you are involved with Internet marketing, you
have probably heard it over and over again. But, Is it True? Absolutely!!
I am involved with affiliate marketing and the great thing is that you do not need a product to
begin making money. There are thousands of viable products available that you can make a
great income on.
hatever your interest or your niche is,
there are plenty of products waiting
for you to make money with. There
is also plenty of room for you to
create and promote your own
product. Provided of course that it is
a good one.
W is also plenty of room for you to create and
promote your own product.
As for affiliate programs, they are very simple
to get started with. You just need to sign up
for their affiliate program, promote it, and
watch the money start rolling in (hopefully).
This is all great, but then what? Most likely
you would find another product and start all
over again.
What if, when you find or create this new
product, you already have hundreds or
thousands of people to instantly tell about it?
You can shoot them a quick email and have
immediate money in your pocket. Then you can
start advertising this product and create even
more people for your next great idea. As you
can imagine, this process can take on a snowball
effect. Before you know it, your primary
income will be from your online business. Now
you can work from home!
One of the best ways is to create a squeeze page.
This is a simple one page website that is
designed to capture your visitors name and
email address. You can do this by offering a
How do you go about starting a list?
One of the best ways is to create a squeeze page.
This is a simple one page website that is designed to
capture your visitors name and email address. You
can do this by offering a free report, a free
subscription to your newsletter, or both.
Once you have their information they are added to
your auto responder and they are a part or your list.
At this time you would redirect them to your
affiliate product website or to your own website
with a link.
When you start to email them regularly make sure
that you are offering them something of value.
Some ideas include: useful information, free reports,
free software, and creative ideas that you come
across. You can than suggest your product and offer
a link to your product or affiliate page. Build up
your product with a strong sales message and watch
the sales start pouring in.
You need to give good solid information and only
promote worthwhile products. Treat your list as a
group of friends that you want to help with the
information that you are providing. Not as another
dollar in your pocket. Just follow the golden rule
and treat your list as you would want to be treated
and you will be on your way to success.
