Announcement

Being an online business owner can be stressful at times. Looking back at the past few weeks I really need to take a break and let the milestones I achieved to sink in. Let me fill you in to my 2 major announcements this month.

First, the affiliate program promoter on autopilot, a hybrid between blog and affiliate link cloaker. Not quite sure what this means? No problem, I will walk you through step by step. Ever since I started my online business I faced the same problem that many of use are facing day in and day out. How can you teach your sub-affiliates and your sales team to follow your example and do the same thing you do?

Are you familiar with the strange effect that your downline ends exactly one level below you? I am and I got very frustrated with this, because my downline got discouraged due to a lack of success on their side. I don’t blame them at all. Most of them are left high and dry with no plan to succeed. You probably know what I’m talking about.

Did you notice the new layout of the newsletter? Welcome to the future of affiliate marketing. What is so special about this blog? You’ve seen blogs before. They are great to publish information quickly and the search engines love them. With this blog we actually pushed the limits. Imagine that you can harvest the content of this blog while advertising your affiliate links. Yes, every affiliate link in this blog will dynamically insert your affiliate id.

Here’s how you can explode your affiliate marketing:

1. Click on the register link on the menu on the left.

2. Login to your admin area.

3. Click on the ‘Subscribe to programs’ tab and add your personal affiliate ids for each program. If you’re not an affiliate for one or the other program, join it right from this screen as well. All programs I promote are free to join, so don’t worry.

4. After subscribing to all the programs go back to your main menu. If you’re an experienced webmaster you can add the RSS feed to your website. This will boost the freshness of your website and your rankings. If you’re not as experienced or you don’t have a website use the single link provided at the bottom.

5. Use this link to send to your opt-in email list. Run a solo ad, do anything you like. At the end you’re promoting your own affiliate links.


I hope you can see the power of this system. Affiliate promotion without lifting a finger to create content. Just ad water. As an example, send your InstantBuzz traffic to this link and bingo. Let me know if you have any question, I’m happy to assist you.

The second milestone is as big if not bigger. From my website Internet Marketing Tool Box I launched a brand new affiliate program. Every product sold on my website is part of the affiliate program.

I am offering you 60% commission, one of the highest in the business, 10% commission on sales from your sub affiliates. Enjoy high commissions and passive income from your sub-affiliates. This program offers tools that are hard to find on the internet and the competition is much less than most of the other affiliate programs. We’re new and we offer new tools never sold before. This is a winning combination and offers great income opportunities for everybody.

The program is completely free to join. Please make sure that you confirm your email address by clicking on the link in the first confirmation email. If you don’t do this your account will not be activated.

ListDotCom

Building an opt-in mail list is hard work or can cost you a lot of money. I capture email addresses from my visitors whenever I get chance to do so. I also use offline marketing to attract new subscribers. What would you say if you could use a system that will help to build your list while you’re running your usual promotions?

ListDotCom is network of subscribers that are looking for opportunities. The system is free to join and provided me with a solid subscriber base that is surprisingly responsive. Based on how many new members you can accumulate, you’re allowed to send out promotion emails to your members or an equivalent number of random subscribers. You don’t have to worry about SPAM and this is not a safelist. This is just a great way to build a gigantic opt-in subscriber network. The random subscriber delivery is really great. That will actually allow me to run the same email promotion several days in a row without sending it to the same people again.

Once again, it is not a safelist. You have to work to build your own downline, but due to the nature of the system this is an easy task and they offer great tools to grow your downline. Of course there’s a lazy man’s option build in. Upgrade your account and you can send out thousands of emails on a daily base.

As added bonus you will receive dozens of freebies to boost your business and valuable ebooks to polish your internet marketing skills. Again, it is absolutely free to join.

Affiliate Programs – The Fast Track to Wealth
(c) by Peter Dobler

Remember the day when you made the ultimate decision to change your life? Yes, it was the day when you decided to start your own home business. Gosh, I remember the anxiety when I uploaded my very first web site, waiting for something to happen. It’s like going onto a stage and performing in front of a large crowd.
Ok, what has this to do with affiliate programs and how to make money with them? Not much other than this is the primary reason why people spending money online. Emotions are the number one selling factor, period. And newbie web masters are loaded with emotions.

When you started your home business, did you have a product to sell? Neither did I. That’s why affiliate programs are perfect for startup home businesses. In a nutshell, an affiliate sells products from somebody else and keeps a commission from each sale. An affiliate id responsible for all the advertising and only gets paid whenever there’s a sale.

Take a break and think about this for a minute. Every day there are thousands of people online, searching for products and ideas to make money with. They know that there’s big money to make and they are eager to get started. When you started your home business it probably never crossed your mind to sell your own products and to run your own affiliate program.

If you’re in the online business for a while with mediocre results it is time to switch sides. Why should you carry most of the risk with your advertisement spending with less than satisfactory sales results? Not to mention that you’re at the mercy of somebody else’s reliability to send you your hard earned money.
If you don’t have a product to sell, go out there and search for products with master resale rights. This will grant you the exclusive rights to sell the product and keep 100% of the profits. Selling the product through affiliates doesn’t violate this, because you’re paying your affiliates for the advertising efforts, the final sale is still made by you.

Of course there are a million products with master resale rights available. Choose your product wisely. You don’t want to start an affiliate program with products that are already over marketed and maybe available for free or as part of a bonus package. This takes some time and research, but it is well worth the effort.

One source is to research the public domain sector and compile your own information product. There are numerous publications available on this topic. Another source is to join a membership program that sells master resale rights products. Make sure that they offer unique products and check their rules. Many offer a trial membership, take advantage of this.

Once you have your product start your affiliate program. Don’t join one of the many services that offer affiliate program services for a monthly fee. Here’s why. Having thousands of affiliates advertising your product is a great thing. Having thousands of free links to your web site is priceless.

Create as many advertising samples for your affiliates as possible. Have these samples point to different entry points to your web site. Banners are the worst advertising tools, but newbie web masters love them. They are easy to implement. What do you care, you got your free link to your website. Make sure that you use search engine friendly affiliate links. Affiliate links with a “?” are recognized as such. Better are the affiliate links that look like a directory structure. The easy way to implement this is to use PHP as your language of choice.

Guess what will happen after a few months running your own affiliate program from your website? Your own web site will skyrocket in rankings on any search engine, because you got so many links to your web site without having a link farm on your own. This is every web masters dream. Now you have a choice. You either aggressively promote your affiliate program or you promote your products. Either way you win.

If you’re still skeptical, go to Google or Yahoo and search for links pointing to your favorite affiliate program. Simply type ‘links:’ and your affiliate program’s domain name into the search field. Make sure you don’t have any blanks. This will return all the websites that are linking back to this affiliate program. Check out the number on the right upper corner where it says ‘Results 1 – 10 of about x’. x stands for the total number of links. Now do the same for your website. Hmm, you got nothing? Well, that’s the difference. I hope you see the power of this by now.

Before you go out there and slab together your own affiliate program. Do your homework and research as much as possible. You want to get it right the first time.

Good luck to you all,
Peter Dobler
