Affiliate Model

Have you ever been in the middle of one of those days when you just thought, “It can’t be this complicated!  Can someone just show me how to do it in a few easy steps?”

Some days it seems like a convoy of eighteen-wheeler trucks has flattened me like a pancake on the “information superhighway”.

We should probably give the Internet a new name:  the “information OVERLOAD superhighway”!

Do you agree?

Over the years I’ve been bombarded with all kinds of things, most of which either don’t work or they are overpriced or they are simply too complicated for the average person to understand.  This is especially true for beginners.

Well, if you feel like you’ve been trapped in rush hour traffic on the information superhighway, I’ve got good news for you.  Jimmy D. Brown has a wonderful new free report available that really does simplify things.

His new report is entitled:  “3 Keys To Getting Big-Time Affiliate Commission Checks” and is available to download by filling in your name and email on the right.

In this report, Jimmy has things narrowed down into three simple keys.  That’s it.  No running to and fro.  No trying every new “offer of the week”.  Just three simple keys to nailing down income on the Internet.

He wrote this especially for beginners, but I’ll be honest with you, it’s a report that even seasoned veterans really will find useful.

If you’d like to increase your affiliate commission checks (or get started on the right foot if you’re a beginner) then grab a copy of this special report while it’s still available and while it’s still free.

Get your free report by filling in the form to the right.

One of the easiest ways to sell a product is to make a screen capture video showing how easy it is to use the product or some of the features of the product.

This is the real deal. Camtasia is the premier screen capture
video capture software.  I have been using this software for
over two years and it is fantastic. (I used Camtasia to make this
video: http://www.myinternettutor.com/start/)

TechSmith, creator of Camtasia, is offering version 3 for
free.  They are hoping that you will upgrade to version 5 for $150 but you don’t have to!

Camtasia is normally a $300 product and worth every penny.

This is NOT a trial version,, BUT I don’t know
how long this offer is available.

My recommendation is to get your copy today!!

Some of the Best PAID Ways to Promote

PPC – If you use someone like Google, it is best to send the visitor to your site first. Make sure you do your keyword research and manage the campaign. (Different keywords will vary in cost.) The two best sources to learn about PPC are Perry Marshall and Google Cash

Advertising – Find an ezine in your niche and pay for an ad to be placed in their ezine. (The cost will depend on the size of the ad and the circulation.)

3. Teleseminars – Interview an expert in your area and get paid a percentage of the sales for helping them promote their product. (This can be done for FREE!)

PS Did you check out Affiliate Marketing Formula? His product is good and he has a lot of free information on his site.

If you remember from an earlier post, I recommend starting with products that you know and love.

After you have successfully sold products that you have used, then you should look for other products in your niche. There are many ways to find affiliate products in your niche.

1. Do a search with the name of your niche plus the term ‘affiliate.’ This should bring up several affiliate programs.

2. Search the Clickbank marketplace for products in your niche. If you aren’t familiar with Clickbank, Stephen Pierce has a nice guide that will walk your through all the steps. The Clickbank Guide

3. Allen Gardyne’s site, www.AssociatePrograms.com is a great source for affiliate programs as well as general affiliate information.

4. www.AffiliatePrograms.com provides a list of affiliate programs.

5. Commission Junction, Link Share, and numerous others provide a variety of affiliate programs but if you are new and just starting out, Clickbank is the best place to start.

BOTTOM LINE: Look for the best commission possible.

The commission may be a dollar figure or a percentage. Always look at the cost of the product to determine how much you will make for each sale.

You also want to know how long your cookies are valid and what protection the program offers against click fraud. Look at how much you need to make before the program will send you a check. How does the affiliate program pay? Is it by check, money order, or paypal.

You also need to consider how difficult and costly will it be to promote this product. What is the conversion rate of the product?

Terms – Need to Know

A few terms that are key to know are:

Advertisement Costs

·        CPC/PPC – Cost per click or pay per click.  A good example of this is Google Adwords.  Every time someone clicks on your ad you a cost.  Therefore it is referred to as ‘cost per click.’

·        CPA – Cost per action.  You pay each time a particular action is taken.

·        CPM – Cost per thousand.  You pay this amount every one thousand impressions.

Affiliate Terms

·        Affiliate Link – also known as a ‘Referral URL’.  This is the link that you want others to click on.  The program that you sign up under will track how many times that link is clicked and the number of sales.

·        Charge Back – if a customer returns the product, the credit card company will reverse the charges and you lose a sale.

·        Conversion Rate – this number is usually a percentage showing the number of sales in relation to the number of clicks.

·        Cookies – a piece of code that is placed on a person’s computer when they click on an affiliate link. (NOTE: The cookie does not harm the computer. It simply makes sure you get the credit for the sale.)

·        Tiers – some affiliate programs have two tiers which means that if you recruit other affiliates under you, you get a percentage of their sales as well as your own

·        Tracking – different programs provide different levels of tracking.  Some will just track sales while others will track impressions and clicks.
