Affiliate
Marketing "Behind the Scenes"
As someone who works both ends of affiliate programs, I have a distinct
advantage over many businesses. I not only manage my own affiliate
program, I also promote products and services as an affiliate.
Both ends of the spectrum are quite profitable for me, each generating
thousands of dollars a week in income.
While I could share lots of information about running a successful
affiliate program, I suspect about 25x as many BizWeb eGazette
subscribers need more help on the other end -- that is, earning money
as an affiliate.
Today I want to share some behind the scenes information that reveals
how top affiliates make tons of sales...

Contrary to popular
belief, most successful affiliates do not have high-traffic websites.
Sure, some of them do, but most super-affiliates are doing it with
email marketing.
It all starts with collecting leads. No, not leads in the sense that
many people think. You can't go out and buy theses leads. You can't
even rent them. You have to gather them all on your own.
While that sounds like a daunting task, it really isn't. The best news
of all, is that you can collect your leads all in one place, and use
them to automatically promote ALL the affiliate products and services
you promote. Here's how it is done from scratch...
Step 1: Decide what
niche you want to be in.
Find an area of interest, something you want to be involved with. Once
you have a few ideas, make sure there are at least handful of affiliate
programs available in that niche. You can use my affiliate
program search engine if you want. Just
enter your area of interest in the search box and see what programs
come up. Check them out and make sure they pay a fair commissions, such
as 30% or more on sales. There is no cost to do join affiliate
programs, so sign up for the all affiliate programs you may want to
promote, and save the links you get from each program.Step
2: Find an
irresistible book you can give away.
That's right, forget about selling anything for now. Instead, search
the web for a book in your area of interest, that you can give away.
Many "private label rights" depositories have books on a wide variety
of topics. An ebook in your niche may be easier to find than you think.
Try InfoGoRound
and SureFireWealth - they
are two I use. If you simply cannot locate an ebook in your niche, then
sit down for a few hours and write a short manual using Microsoft Word.
Answer a few pressing questions you see people asking about in your
niche. When done, convert your Word file to a PDF file and it is an
ebook. You can use a program like the one at cutepdf.com to
convert it into a PDF document, which really is the best form for an
ebook these days. When your little manual/ebook is done, have a virtual
cover designed for it. That is an important step so you can show off
your finished product at your site. More people will download it if you
have a professional cover. (My friend Heather Colman
does a great job at a fair price.)
Step 3:
Grab a domain name and put up a one page website.
That's right, a one page website will do the trick. All you need is a
single page that gives away your ebook. First grab a domain name that
contains a word or two about your niche. For instance, if you plan to
promote bass fishing products, register something like
bassfishingtipsandtricks.com - there are lots of reasons for this and
I'll get into them in a future issue. As far as the website, you can do
it yourself with a program like nvu which is a WYSIWYG
(stands of what you see is what you get) web design program with lots
of templates available. If you're not capable of putting together a
simple site, that's OK. You can hire someone to do it for you. Try templatetuning.com
for reasonable rates and a nice selection of templates. Remember, the
entire goal of the web page should be to get visitors to grab your free
ebook. Keep the site simple and professional looking. You'll need web
hosting for the site which you can get anywhere for about $10 - $15 a
month.

Step 4: Write a series of helpful email messages that
will be sent to everyone who downloads your book.
This is easier than it sounds. Ideally, you'll want about 20-30
messages, but you can start with a handful in the beginning. The email
messages should sound friendly and personal. Write like you are writing
to a friend. Some of the messages should simply say, "Hey, how's it
going? Do you have any questions for me?" Encourage them to contact
you. Forming relationships is fast and easy with email and it grows
business. Other messages will tell them about something they may be
able to use. (Using your affiliate links of course!) You see how this
works? It's really quite simple, and extremely effective. Over the
course of a month you'll share a half dozen different products and
services with them, that are directly related to their area of
interest. You'll also get to know lots of potential future customers!
Step 5:
Grab an autoresponder account.
An
autoresponder will do all that follow-up work explained above. It will
also allow you to paste a simple subscribe form on your site, that
triggers your follow-up series of email messages. Once you have your
account, load your series of helpful email messages in. Be sure to
personalize each message with the first name of each person who
downloaded your ebook. This is a feature that is easily implemented
with either of these recommended autoresponder services... WBW

Step 6:
Start the flow of traffic to your website.
The cheapest way to start generating traffic to your website is to
write informative articles about your area of interest and send them to
lots of email newsletter publishers in your niche. At the end of each
article you write, include a blurb about you and your complimentary
ebook, including your website address. There are lots of other ways to
get website traffic but this is the cheapest. If you need more ideas,
try some of my top
10 website traffic sources.
In
closing...
As you can see, this is a step by step plan for growing affiliate
profits. Your total investment is as little as $35 a month for website
hosting and an autoresponder account. Of course, you'll need to invest
some time to set things up, but once you have it all in place it can
generate cash on a regular basis. And remember, as you locate new
affiliate programs you can recommend the products and services to your
growing list via a broadcast. As your list grows you can use it other
ways. For instance, you may want to expand on your ebook and create a
product of your own. This will allow you to do joint ventures with
other list owners in your niche or a related niche. You promote their
product or service as an affiliate, and they do the same for you! The
possibilities are unlimited once you start growing your own opt-in list.
See ya in a few weeks...

Closing message from a once-frustrated
entrepreneur:
Hi Jim,
"I wish I had your EZ Web
Business Builder two years ago. Like most people
trying to build a home business I read all the ebooks, paid for courses
on how to start an online living and got nowhere."
"In the last nine days I have built and up
loaded a twenty nine page web site only working part time (evenings). I
have learned more from your CD
over the last week or so than the last two years reading ebooks, course
etc. I would have gladly paid double or triple just for the time it
saved me on that learning curve."
One happy chappy. Thanks for saving my day.
