How to Make a Fortune Promoting Other People's Products

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.

Wordpress Goldmine. The Ultimate Guide To Blogging Riches

It is not often that an e-book is published on a
particular subject,
which just makes all others look completely useless.
However, with
the release of WordPress Goldmine this is what has
happened.
Where most affiliate marketing guides get you to focus
on finding
a product through Clickbank and then create a blog for
it,
WordPress Goldmine does not. Instead it looks at the
different
aspects relating to the process of finding the right
domain names
and what products to promote the site.


This e-book takes an in-depth look at not just the
processes but
also the different kinds of sites one can build.
It also provides
you with live examples that actually provide the value
in this e-book
unlike any other. What seems to make this book so
special is that
those who have already used it have found it easy
to follow because
the author has broken it up into five separate sections.


In section one it looks at the ways of building a
WordPress blog,
plus the steps one needs to take in order to get your
blog up and
running in the shortest amount of time possible. Plus
this section
has some bonus videos, which can help you to understand
the whole
process from beginning to end.


Whilst in section two of the book you will learn about
the different
kind of content you can use in your blog. In this section
of the book,
the author covers everything from using PLR articles to
original content.
In here, you will also find out how to get unique content
posted to your
blog regularly and completely for free and which will
help you to develop
yours in no time at all.


When one reaches section three, this is probably a real
gem as the author
shows you a number of different ways in which you can
monetize your
WordPress blog. But be prepared to spend sometime on
this section as it
provides a good indepth explanation on how the author
himself
made a $15,000 income through just one blog post. Of all
the sections you
will probably find that this one alone is worth the money
that you have spent
purchasing the book. It is also here that you will
learn about the ways to
make money from a blog offline. It is through this
authors plan that one can
learn about how to create an extra $1,000 per week
by the end of the year,
which is a vast change from those plans which say
"earn $$$$ in just 30 days"
and so makes this plan more achievable.

After reading section 3 you move onto section 4 and
in this part of the book
the author will explain the different methods that can
be used to promote the
sites that you build. There is an easy to follow
diagram in this section which
lists the kinds of sites that one can utilize and which
will in turn help to
make yours a success rather than a failure. Again this
section is value for
money simply because it is not often yuo will be provided
with details of a
traffic generation system for your site that is easy to
master.

In the final section of this book helps you to take your
website promotion
to a completely different level when building your site.
Although some people
may find this section a little daunting, the author has
included several
warnings at the beginning of it stating that you should
have in fact mastered
the other sections of the book before you move on to this
one.


As a whole WordPress Goldmine is a brilliant tool to aid
you when it
comes to affiliate marketing. Just by using commonsense
over unnecessary
hype has helped to make this book a pleasant change form
many of its counterparts.
In fact this book could well lead to other internet
marketers actually
publishing books themselves of a similar calibre to
this one.

Even though WordPress Goldmine contains 110 pages, each
one proves
to be great value for money. It does not matter whether
you are a
complete beginner or have been an internet marketer for
sometime you
will find advice and tips contained within its pages
that could help to
increase your income. If you are only going to buy
one e-book this
year then I would recommend that you buy this one.

you’ve got questions...I’ve got answers.

I’ve received quite a few emails from my subscribers and customers asking me about Nick Marks and his brilliant success system...

Due to the sheer volume of these messages, I decided it would be pertinent to just send a message out to everyone, addressing those questions with some very up front answers right here and now...

1) No this is NOT MLM and you don’t have to worry about loading up your garage with pallets of mojo juice, ultra-mega-super vitamins or anything of the kind

2) No you will not be joining some ultra-duplex-quadruple-corporate-spillover-takes-an-engineer-to-comprehend matrix system

3) No you won’t be joining the mob

4) No you will not be engaging in a counterfeiting endeavor

5) And no...you don’t have to have any experience in web based business to make yourself a whopping success

Nick’s incredible system has already helped many people just like you to break free from their J.O.B.S. and become financially free.

And many of these people had no prior experience. Take Adam for example...

“One thing I have to say about your system. WOW! I had no idea how easy this really was going to be. To tell you the truth I didn't know if it was really going to work or not. IM the kind of guy that got all the junk on the net and really didn't believe all what you was saying but I had to just try it any way. Man am I glad I did. I made $300 my first day using your system. I just had to tell you”. Thanx! Adam W. (Alaska)

Adam...a rookie Internet Marketer that had been lured into purchasing many so called programs that didn’t work...found Nick’s and gave it a go.

1st day....$300. At that rate Adam is on track for almost $110,000 per year.

“Wow is right Adam.”

If Adam can do it...you can do it. But you will only have the opportunity for a very short while.

Nick knows his system is valuable and he’s not going to let everyone under the sun get their hands on it. No, he’s going to maintain its value by limiting it to a select few.

Now’s your time. Get over to www.forex-enterprise.comwhile you still can.

Here’s To Your Incredible Success,

Your Name Here

PS – I just received another question via email...No, you will never have to work for anyone else ever again! That is...if you move on this right away!

Top 10 Tips for Selling on eBay

1. Start Small

If you're anything like me, once you have a good idea you want to put it into action immediately! Although you probably know in theory that any business takes 12-18 months to become established, somehow you still hope that you can get there in 2!

But, one mistake entrepreneurs consistently make is to throw their life's savings into buying case loads of stock - before they even know how eBay works. It's easy to be lulled into a false sense of security on eBay after buying just one or two items. For buyers, eBay is meant to be user friendly. For sellers, things are a little more complicated. All powersellers agree that there are new things to be learned all the time and you'll be surprised at how much more you know after several months selling small, inexpensive items.

Be prepared to spend the first couple of months buying and selling a variety of inexpensive items you can purchase with your loose change. Keep track of what sells best and work on narrowing down the possibilities to a few strong products. By this stage you will also have experienced the best and worst situations eBay has to offer, so you will be much better prepared to crank things up a notch.

2. Respond to questions as quickly as possible

Most people use the Internet because it provides what they need instantaneously: information, contacts, gifts, advice, and so on. Therefore I can't emphasize enough the importance of checking your emails as often as you can and replying to queries as quickly as possible.

3. Organize your time and keep to a schedule

If you are holding down a full-time job and working after hours to get your ebay business in motion, then it's vital to have a list of what you need to get done and stick to it so you make the most of the precious time available. Once you are working on eBay fulltime, this becomes even more important! It's all too easy to reach the end of another day and find that you have got hardly anything done. So keep a planner or diary and make a timetable of what needs to be done and when.

4. Do take professional photographs from the beginning

The old saying remains as true as ever: A picture speaks a thousand words. A bad picture can look unappealing and unprofessional. Plus, if the buyer can't really see the item properly, they may be put off bidding because they can't tell if it is what they really want. So right from the beginning, work on creating the most professional pictures you can, even if it means spending money on a photo tent and better lighting.

5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket - use other ways of selling apart from eBay

eBay is not the be all and end all of selling online - although it is one of the best ways to start. As soon as you can though, try thinking of other ways you can increase your web presence. Perhaps you could place a classified ad in Yahoo or write about your auctions in a MySpace blog. There are plenty of cheap and easy ways to build up your profile.

6. Do keep a constant look out for other products to sell, while also monitoring carefully what you are already selling.

Don't become complacent! Even if your items appear to be stock standard - such as chairs for instance - make sure you keep looking at what other sellers are doing, emerging trends, magazine articles, home decor programs, and more. There may be another related product opportunity just waiting to happen that you completely overlook if you keep your blinkers on.

7. Do keep in contact with your wholesale supplier regularly to ensure you are aware of any stock issues.

A backorder can create a lot of extra work for you soothing customer's ruffled feathers. And if they want their order refunded, it costs you money too. So make life easier for yourself by regularly touching base with your suppliers and ensuring communication lines stay open.

8. Do carry out regular keyword and market research

Keyword research is the way to ensure your potential customers find you successfully. Set aside some time each day for marketing and research to ensure that you're keeping at the top of your game.

9. Do use software to help organize your sales

It's hard to part with the initial investment when the business is still finding its feet, but the right software will make life so much easier. My eBay quickly becomes unwieldy when you are selling more than 15 items, and software ensures that you avoid making costly mistakes, such as under-ordering stock, forgetting to ship to a customer, and so on.

10. Don't offer free shipping as a gimmick unless you can afford it

Free shipping is a very effective way of attracting more people to your listings. However, before you consider offering free shipping, think carefully about your profit margins, how much your item weighs, and the fact that shipping will vary depending on how far away you are sending it. Offering free shipping is a good move if you can absorb the cost in your profit margin, but it could easily become crippling if you apply it to a variety of items of different shapes and sizes.
