Learn Top Affiliate Secrets

If you want to get started quickly and easily making money online, then affiliate marketing is for you. Affiliate marketing means that all you do is send traffic to someone else’s website, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as your commission, which for digital products can be 50% of more.

Here’s just a few benefits

1. You’re able to start instantly without having to create a product, set up a website and sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or do support, billing and maintenance.
2. It runs on auto-pilot for you because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
3. Your efforts are risk-free, because the product owner has already made sure the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

There’s no denying that these benefits make affiliate marketing the best thing going!

The downside is…

Once you send your visitors to the product sales page, they are gone forever. Less than 10% of the visitors your send will actually buy the product. That’s fine for the product owner because she can sell to them again and again, but you can’t.

What’s the solution?

It’s simple: You must get your visitors’ email addresses before you send them to the product owner’s website. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you want to do it like a pro, you’ll give them some great content before sending them to the sales page.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

1. By building your own list, you’re creating a renewable resource that you can tap again and again for instant profits.
2. You’ll be warming them up by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools:

1. A squeeze page, and even better a video squeeze page.
2. One or more content-rich “warm up” pages
3. A multi-part e-mail series with at least 5 e-mails in it

Instead of sending visitors directly to the product sales page, you’ll send them to your lead capture page first. This page is where you collect your visitors’ contact info and add them to your autoresponder, which in turn starts sending them the multi-part e-mail series. Once your visitors have been subscribed to your email series, they are sent to your content pages.

The content pages provide valuable information for your visitors and make them more receptive to the sales message that you’ll link to from inside the content. While they’re reading the content you’ve provided, your email system is already following up with them to send them back to the product website again and again.

There’s no doubt that it’s worth the effort to put a system like this in place, because doing so will increase your profits by 500% or more. And after you get it all set up, it runs on total auto-pilot. You just refer people to your lead capture page, instead of the product sales page.

Setting it all up yourself requires some skill, and if you’re not up to it, you can use a service like Affiliate Silver Bullet. With a service like that, you don’t have to do anything. They make the video, build the squeeze page, write the e-mail series, develop the content mini-site, etc. And then just give you a finished package. The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The drawback is that you won’t be the only one using these affiliate tools. But the Internet is huge, so this shouldn’t really affect you.

Alternatively, you can use a service like Elance to “outsource” each of these components. Whichever way you decided to go, it’s critical to get an affiliate marketing system like this in place, if you’re at all serious about your business.

If you have been doing content submission and social bookmarking by logging in and out of accounts, you know it is a very manual, repetitive and dry routine. Here comes a software that makes your task a little more automatic.

Traffic Anarchy is a PC-based automation tool with a single interface where you are able to submit articles, press releases, RSS feeds and hyperlinks to numerous directories and social bookmarking websites (Digg, Mixx etc).

Not only is it an efficient method to send your website more laser-targeted visitors, it also increases your lookup engine ranking position (SERP) by creating high-quality backlinks.

In this manner Traffic Anarchy is a really powerful piece of software program and a huge time-saver. Highly recommended and worth the price.

Did you know the average adult spends up to 3 hours a day more on the Internet than they spend watching television? About 70% of the U.S. population regularly use the Internet. Over 1 billion people in the world are online. And, this is a vast chunk of your market! These are your customers! But only if you have a website that draws them in.

I’d be willing to bet you already have a website up and running. And, that’s great! But, have you taken that website to the next level? Far too many companies throw a couple webpages together, put them online, and call it good. However, sites that only include basic information are not much better than having brochures.

Here are some ideas for making your website powerful:

* Include pictures and descriptions of your products (with a dynamic website, your visitors should be able to click through your products to find what they are interested in)

* Display interesting facts and statistics

* Include high interest stories (celebrity or newsworthy stories will quickly draw readers to your site)

* Include customer testimonials

* Produce blogs, forums, or user communities

Most viewers will give you about 7 seconds to decide if your site is worth visiting. If you have interesting content and graphics, they’ll give you a little more time. However, if you haven’t used your space on the Internet to capture and retain their attention, the next thing you know, the person is gone.

Your website should attract viewers, and ultimately provide you with additional leads.

A few years ago I came across a brochure for an independent consultant, Sommers White.

The brochure promoting White’s consulting services was written entirely in question and answer format. But what really caught my eye was the first Q & A in the lead:

Q: Why should I hire Sommers White?

A: Perhaps you should not.

Why is this opening so effective?

First, it is unexpected. The surprise factor gets your attention.

Second, it instantly builds White’s credibility. Obviously, here is a guy who only wants clients he can help. He won’t just take any business. He has to believe he can really help you before he will work with you. What an ethical guy!

Third, it actually enhances the desire to find out more about White and possibly hire him. It’s intriguing. Who is this man of mystery? Why is he so sure of himself that he doesn’t even want your business?

This technique of selling is called “the takeaway close”. White did not invent it, although his use of it as a lead is unusual.

The basic premise of the takeaway close is: People want what they can’t have.

Think about it. Your doctor tells you, “No more candy.” What do you instantly want? Candy!

Sales trainer Paul Karasik recommends you use the takeaway method when trying to close a sale with a reluctant prospect.

If the prospect is hemming and hawing, shut your notebook or folder, take the contract off the table, and say, “You know, you’re right. This may not be for you.”

The prospect will immediately want to know why you say this, and often, will try to prove you wrong. In essence, they’ll start selling YOU on changing your mind and accepting them as a customer. What an ideal situation for you!

Another thing that makes the takeaway close so effective is what I call the power of the contrary: When you do something people don’t expect, it is an instant attention-getter.

A radio commercial for Seaman’s, a furniture store in my area, begins: “Whatever you do, DON’T buy furniture today!”

You don’t expect a furniture store to tell you not to buy furniture. So you listen. It sounds like you are going to get helpful consumer advice—maybe tips on shopping for furniture.

Turns out, the tip is to wait to Saturday for Seaman’s big blowout sale. But it works. They got your attention—and now you want to wait for their sale.

The next time you are having trouble closing a prospect or moving a sale forward, try the takeaway close.

One caveat: You have to be willing to lose the sale to make this work. You must be prepared for and ready to accept the possibility that the prospect will say, “Yes, you’re right, this is not for me.”

Therefore, the takeaway close should only be used either (a) when you already have more business than you can handle—and therefore can afford to lose the sale, or (b) when the sale is stalled and you cannot move the prospect forward using your other closing techniques.

Do you think you know what a membership site really is?

Here’s all a membership site is: a place where people can log in using a username and password to get to their stuff.

Membership sites DON’T have to be this thing where people pay you month after month to get access!

Research has shown that the most a paying subscriber can afford to stay in a membership site is 3, 4 months, after which they cancel their subscription.

The classic problem lies with membership program creators not being able to keep up with creating worthy content that makes their subscribers stay willingly with them every month; time is working against them.

Membership Cube is going to change all that.

Imagine this scenario: If you have a one-hour video, just ask $47 for it. People pay 47 bucks one time, then get their login and can watch your video.

If they refund, they’re kicked out. Simple as that. No further payments after that first one.

Then let’s say you make a second follow-up video. Put it in the membership site so it shows up after 14 days.

Now, everyone who pays 47 bucks get that first video, then after 2 weeks they get the next video.

You CAN have sequential content delivery and only have a single payment.

Now let’s say you create a third video, and you schedule it for the 30-day mark. Now you have an instant video, a 14-day video, and a 30-day video, but at this point, you’re ready to raise the price.

Instead of simply doubling the price to $97, make it a 2-payment plan. Now they pay $47 and get a video instantly, they stay in and get the second video after 2 weeks, they get billed again and receive the third video.

The people you sold to early on get all these stuff for free…but the new buyers have to pay both payments, and if they cancel at any time, they’re locked out.

If they let it ride till the end, they get lifetime access to all three of your videos.

Isn’t that a better way of looking at drip content? Instead of struggling forever to create months and months of content, worry about creating the first month…then the second month…and so on.

Then change the payment button so you add more payments or a higher price for new buyers. That way you can stop at any time.

I want to show you the exact step-by-step plan to accomplishing EVERYTHING we just talked about in the last couple minutes, right here.
