You can't make money with affiliate programs if you listen to the affiliate program! I know that sounds like gobbly-gook but here is what 99% of affiliate members end up doing, and ensuring their lack of success: 1. They see a sales page that looks interesting. 2. They sign up for the affiliate program 3. They copy/paste the pre-made ads, pointing to the affiliates web page, and submit the ads to safelists, their own lists, hit exchanges or other advertising, usually the freebies. 4. They don't make a sale, quit the program and move on to another, thinking, "well that product sucked". 5. They repeat the process with the next 'sure winner' according to the author/owner of the affiliate program... who knows (or should) how to write a great sales page. Does this sound like you? Don't feel bad if it is because you aren't alone. 95% of affiliates never make more than $10! At any time! So, what do you do? 1. First go to Clickbank, Commission Junction, www.cj.com, www.Linkshare.com and do diligent research in a 'niche' market that you have interest or knowledge in. It's not absolutely necessary that you 'love' the product or service, but it will help convince a prospect that you believe in the product. 2. After choosing a product that has a high conversion rate (visitors to buyers), create a web site. CJ gives you a report of the last 3 months and last 7 days earnings per click. This really helps you to choose the best paying merchant. Side Note: One of the best ways to determine whether a product will be profitable is with Product Idea Profitability Evaluator. I am amazed at how I can eliminate what I thought was a great 'niche market' with this software tool It gives you keyword Assessment, Profitability Potential (this one gives you a # that instantly determines the potential profits). It also gives you the pay per click estimate which will tell you whether it should be profitable by advertising in them. You can get a free 10 day trial here Download a very good ebook "Think Niche And Grow Rich" which has the free trial link in it. http://www.ad-alyzer.com/727/nichecourse <a href="http:// http://www.ad-alyzer.com/727/nichecourse ">AOL Users</a> You will need to buy a domain name (I use www.godaddy.com where you can get domain names for as little as $4.95) and a web host. I use Host4Profit for my domains which is the easiest and most complete of any online. But you can get a free host like hypermart, but I don't recommend it. You want to look like a serious, professional-type company, having their ads displayed is a sure turn-off. Building trust and confidence are the most important features of any web business. 3. If you don't know the first thing about creating a website, either learn from all the very good tutorials online or hire someone (just do a search on Google for html tutorials or website tutorials). Build the site or page with high quality content that isn't just a hyped-up ad. Side Note: I follow what James Martell does...how can you argue with success. We are talking about a real- honest-to-goodness online phenom who sells pretty much only affiliate products. You can view a nice movie about him, his family and his philosophy of online marketing by clicking here. http://www.ad-alyzer.com/727/marketers_dream <a href="http://www.ad-alyzer.com/727/marketers_dream ">AOL Users</a> 4. Promote you web page/site. This is a very large topic that I have covered in many of my newsletters and you can read them here: http://build-an-ebusiness-on-a-shoestring.com/archives.htm <a href="http:// http://build-an-ebusiness-on-a-shoestring.com/archives.htm ">AOL Users</a> But if you create your website according to Martell, you really don't need to do anything else except build a link directory. The search engines will find your site very exciting as it will be quality content laden targeted to your primary keyword. 5. Finally, keep these thoughts in mind. Be first, be creative, be bold and be unique. If you follow these rules, I guarantee you will jump ahead of all the 1,000's of affiliates selling the same or similar products online. _____________________________________________________________ Dan Farrell has a fr.ee 10 part e-course, "Why Most Affiliates Fail And How Not To!" that you can subscribe to by filling out a short form at: http://www.ad-alyzer.com/727/buildbiz mailto:dan@mhg-consulting.com
