Assure Your Success With “List Building”
_________________________________________

Yesterday, we touched on creating a targeted list to promote to with the help of eCourses and Squeeze Pages. Today, we’re going to discuss lists again, but this time we want to discuss list building a bit more in depth.

You can’t just promote any old thing to all of your readers, especially if they are in different markets. For example, you wouldn’t promote mineral makeup to a market that is interested in classic cars.

I know that seems like a no-brainer, but youd be amazed at the number of affiliates who don’t realize how important it is to know your market and what they want. Instead, they see the term affiliate marketing, immediately think “easy” money and start throwing links for everything under the sun out to their visitors. Well many of them don’t stop there, they pass it on to their lists too (if they even have a list that is).

As an online business owner, your mailing list is your most powerful tool when it comes to making money. This is true, not only for those with their own products, but affiliates as well. If you want to be a super affiliate you need to make the most of the lists you currently have and even create more lists that target those interested in what you have to offer.

Now, Im not saying go out and start creating lists willy-nilly here. Stick with your market and create lists that fit with their wants and needs.

No matter what market you’re in, if you are an affiliate you€’ve probably found and recommend products that fit with that particular market, right? Well stick with those products and create eCourses, newsletters, etc. that resonate well with your market.

Here’s a great tool to help you create emails for your lists that will result in action and not deletion:

Now it’s your turn to work on improving or expanding your lists so that you can set them up to promote products your readers can use.

eCourses & Squeeze Pages to “Up the Ante”

7 Ways to Boost Your Affiliate Marketing Profits

eCourses & Squeeze Pages to “Up the Ante”
____________________________________________

Hello again!

Yesterday, we talked about redirecting your affiliate links. I hope you’ve had a chance to begin redirecting your links, either on your own site or through a new domain. If you haven’t, then don’t forget that easy, yet many times forgotten, step toward becoming a super affiliate.

Today, I want to kick it up another notch and put you even further on your way to becoming one of the super affiliates of your chosen program. We’re going to talk about eCourses and squeeze pages in today’s lesson.

Obviously you know what an eCourse is since you are in the process of one right now with these emails. One way to really get people who are interested in what you have to offer (targeted customers) is to create an eCourse that you can promote your product(s) inside of.

eCourses can be as long or as short as you’d like to make them; just remember the key is to teach your readers something and offer them tips and tools (affiliate promos) to help them accomplish their goal.

Create your eCourse and load it up in an autoresponder so it’s all automated. Always be thinking big and being consistent!

Once you’ve created your eCourse, then it’s time to set up a squeeze page where people can go to sign up for you course.

You can do this in a variety of ways. You can buy a new domain specifically for the course or set up a page on an exisiting site of yours where you can send targeted traffic. Either way works as long as you take the time and do the work to get people there.

Why not take a few minutes today to brainstorm ideas for an eCourse that would go well with the product(s) within your chosen affiliate program. Remember, your course can be as short or long as you’d like, but I recommend for this first one that you start with a 5 day course.

Redirecting Your Links – It’s So Easy Yet So Many Don’t Do It

7 Ways to Boost Your Affiliate Marketing Profits

Redirecting Your Links – It’s So Easy Yet So Many Don’t Do It

____________________________________________
Welcome back!

Are you ready to get started with today’s lesson on boosting your affiliate profits through the roof by becoming a super affiliate?  I hope so, because today’s lesson is so simple, yet tons of affiliates skip this step every single day.

How many times have you been at a website, seen a recommendation for a product and when you went to click the link you saw a long, ugly, jumbled mess for the link? As you know, that was an affiliate link.

Now, how many times have you decided against clicking the link just because you knew it was an affiliate link? Do you see where I’m going with this? Those long links are such a turn off aren’t they?
The majority of affiliates who sign up for an affiliate program don’t realize just how often people skip over their link and go right to the main website once they see the affiliate link. Or worse yet, they self-discount a product by going directly to the program, signing up themselves and then using their own affiliate link to purchase the product.

Speaking of self-discounts, it’s not good business practice to help yourself to one. It’s not fair to the affiliate who did the work and made you want to buy, and most affiliate programs don’t allow it.
Stop and think about how you’d feel if someone did that with you! Bottom line, Don’t Do It!

Ok, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest (sorry about that little rant), let’s talk about a couple of ways you can redirect your affiliate links.

The first way is to set up a redirect on your own website. Sure, people who have been around probably realize this is an affiliate link, but it still just looks better and it won’t freak out those people who don’t understand affiliate marketing when they see a link from a trusted source (you) in their email.

To set up a redirect on your website, simply create a blank page on your site and name it something that makes sense. For instance, if I was promoting EasySales.com I could create a page on my site that looks like this: mysite.com/greatsales.html

Then copy the following code into your blank page, inserting your affiliate link where it says AFFLINK including the http://

<html>
<head><meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;url=http://youraffiliatelink.com”>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Now whenever you want to promote that product simply use the link mysite.com/greatsales.html

The second and more super affiliate (thinking bigger) way to redirect is to purchase a domain name just for the product you are promoting. Honestly a domain name can be purchased for little and depending on the product, you’ll make that $10 or less back with one promotion!

Of course, you probably won’t want to do this with every single product you promote, but if something is a good seller, a product that you love, something you’ll promote often, OR a recurring commission go ahead and do it.

Let’s say you are promoting a product whose URL is myaffiliateproduct.com. A good choice for a redirected domain would be something similar like myaffiliateproducts.com. (plural)

So, there you have it – setting up a redirect can make a difference in your affiliate promotions and today I want you to choose one of the above mentioned methods and redirect at least one affiliate product link (more if there are more) from your chosen affiliate program.

If you are planning to market many affiliate programs, you can consider investing in my favorite program for redirecting and/or completely cloaking your affiliate URLs:


I use this software all the time. Sometimes I completely cloak the affiliate page so that the web site visitor never, ever sees it. And sometimes I don’t. More often than not, I cloak the affiliate link. I’ve never been disappointed with this software.

You’re now one step ahead of the majority of other affiliates in your program! Keep up the great work and I’ll see you tomorrow.

The Difference between Affiliates & SUPER Affiliates
_____________________________________________

Welcome to the 7 day eCourse that will show you how to boost your affiliate marketing income. In the coming days, I’m going to show you 7 ways to increase the money you make as an affiliate marketer by giving you ideas to help you get more people clicking and buying through your links instead of someone elses.

I know you’re ready to start making more money, so without further ado let’s get started with your first lesson which is all about becoming more than an average affiliate.

If you’ve been following affiliate marketing for even a short amount of time, you’ve probably heard the term SUPER affiliate a few times, but have you ever wondered what makes someone a super affiliate as opposed to just a regular affiliate?

A super affiliate isn’t an affiliate who wears a cape with a big red S on it, but instead is an affiliate who shows great achievements with his or her recommendations. In other words, a super affiliate is one who makes more sales than a normal affiliate. Now, at this point you are probably asking yourself, “How can I possibly sell more than the majority of affiliates who promote product X or service Y?”

It is NOT as hard as you might think.

Considering the majority of affiliates in a program either don’t promote, only promote in one place or one time, or just don’t know how to effectively promote a product, it’s not difficult at all to become a super affiliate in almost any affiliate program.

It does take more than just throwing up a button or posting a link within an article on your website to generate a decent affiliate income.

Here are just a few things a super affiliate does that most affiliates don’t: Work Hard!

  1. Work Hard!
  2. Think BIG!
  3. Remain Consistent!
  4. Have Drive!

Honestly, the things above are not hard to accomplish. Everyday a new affiliate signs up to promote a product with the intention of promoting it, but once they redirect their referral link, post a link on their site, or send out one mailing they never think about it again.

As a super affiliate you can’t stop there. In the next 7 days I will show you how you can remain one step ahead of the other affiliates promoting the same thing from the day you sign up for a program.

Until tomorrow, I want you to think about one program that you are a member of that you would love to be better at promoting. For the remainder of this course we’ll focus on that single program. Once we’ve completed the course, you can then repeat the same steps with each and every program you promote.
