Did your affiliate program abandon you? by Debbie Ducker Tired of joining affiliate programs, then working long hours to set up full blown ad campaigns for them and bringing in new members, just to find out the site is no longer there? I am sure, just like me, this has happened more than once to you. Nothing is more frustrating when you are working on-line as an affiliate marketer. Unfortunately it is a fact of Internet Marketing, we have to except. Programs can go down nearly as fast as they are put up. What can be done about it? While it may be out of our hands to stop the owners from shutting down, there are a few things you can do to soften the blow when it does happen. 1. To begin with... research what you join. Find out how long they have been in business. If new, try to find out how many members it has. Are they filling up quickly? This could mean they have a quality product, worth selling. Decide if what they are selling has staying power. Contact support and make sure that they can be reached easily and do reply to you. Just to name a few ideas. Many factors can decide whether a program, new or established, will make it or not. A tough call to make. But at least consider a few things about the program before putting too much effort or expense in going full force with advertising it. 2. Then most importantly, after you decide on what programs to advertise, use cloaking or tracking links so that you can change your active promotions to a different affiliate program URL. 3. Use advertising copy that is somewhat generic. Especially if you are taking the time to create a lead capture page or a sales letter type web page for a specific affiliate program. Make it as general as possible so that you can easily edit it to fit another similar affiliate program. Minimize using the name of the affiliate program and describe it as generic as you can using highly searched for key words pertaining to Internet marketing. Avoiding, where possible, being too descriptive about the product, incase the program you change to sells something else. At the very least create the lay out so the vital information such as program title, description and any images can be easily changed to fit a different program. 4. Keep a hard copy of your down line information on your own, in a note pad or similar document. So that you can easily reach them with any information you may have about the program shutting down and also let them know you are still there. The program owners may not care about what happens to the members after they shut down, but remember your down line is one of the keys to your success in any affiliate program. Always treat them well and help them no matter what program comes and goes. They will learn to trust you and will most likely follow you for a lifetime into anything of quality you end up promoting. 5. Keep your original receipts of any payments made to your affiliate programs for products, upgrades, etc. So if entitled to a refund you have proof you did pay. Doing the above will not only help you save time and energy but will ensure you will not lose contact with the members you worked so hard to bring in, and that you will get any money back that is due to you, when you find yourself abandoned by one of your affiliate programs. Using the right layout for your ads will also make it easier to create new ad campaigns on the fly for any program you choose to promote.

Title: Creating A Great Autoresponder Letter Series by Debbie Ducker
|
|
Your autoresponder letter series, if written correctly can make you serious money on the Internet.
Studies have proven that most consumers buy only after repeated exposure to a product. This repeated exposure helps you to gain their trust enough to buy from you.
Having an autoresponder system is the hassle-free, automated way to put your product in front of interested buyers enough times to move them from consideration to purchase.
Have information on every page of your site of how a visitor can optin for futher information, join your ezine or newsletter or any incentive you can think of to get them to sign up to your autoresponder series.
Following are some informative tips on creating autoresponder messages that sell your product for you. You'll learn what to say, how to say it, how to format it, and how to avoid having your messages sent straight to the SPAM folder unread.
Here’s a breakdown of what your messages should contain.
1. Subject line. The subject line is the first thing people will see when they receive your message. It must be compelling enough to keep them from deleting the message unread. Do your research good on this. Learn everything you can on how to write good headlines. But also don't use hype. Since the person receiving this message has requested it, then it is logical to keep the subject on topic to what they requested to receive in the first place. i.e. Here is the information you requested on _____...
2. The opening sentence. Keep this true to your subject. Expand on it without hype or pressure. Don't mention the sale price, or tell them they must buy your product. Keep it promise based. i.e. tell them what they will learn or gain via the information or service you are going to provide.
For example say your subject was: Thank you ~Name~, here is the information you requested on earning a living at home.
Your opening sentence might be something like this: You are about to learn the very same strategies I use to make a full time living from my home.
3. Introductory paragraph. Explain in a concise paragraph exactly what your product will do for the buyer. Tell them how your product or service will help them to also make a full time living from their home. Avoid using ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation!!! This looks amateurish and, in the majority of cases, get your message deleted.
4. Subheadings and further information. Write bullet point type headlines with either bold letters or one step better put lines above and below them to set them apart. Then expand on these headings in a paragraph or two underneath them.
==============================
THIS WILL BE YOUR SUB HEADLINE
==============================
With more information below it...
5. A call to action. After you have finished your sub headlines and the corresponding information. Use a pre- closing paragraph to tell the reader exactly what you want them to do. "Click Here" to download this information instantly! or Click the link below, fill out the form to have this ~~Product~~ delivered to you immediately. Where possible point out the uniqueness of your product. Is it priced lower then competitors? Is it the only one of its kind? Or also if it is a limited time offer. Anything that will give the buyer more incentive to take the above action. Keeping it honest of course. Don't make something up just to get better results.
6. Closing Paragraph. Thank them again and also sum up what will be in the next message. "Watch your email the next few days for a great thank you gift I have set a side for you for taking the time to look at my product.", "I will have a free chapter, from my "make a living at home" ebook, for you in a few days.", etc.
7. DISCLAIMER. This is a short paragraph to remind people they are receiving your message because they asked to be on your list. It will keep them from clicking the “SPAM” button if they decide they aren't interested in your product, and keep your autoresponder and web site off Internet blacklists.
8. Unsubscribe link. This is critical to a successful autoresponder campaign. You must give subscribers the option to discontinue receiving messages from you, or you will be labeled as SPAM. Most autoresponder services will provide you with an automatic unsubscribe list for all your autoresponder series. All you have to do is make sure to include the link in your message.
One of the most powerful ways to get more traffic to your site can be your autoresponder series. Your well-crafted messages will send people in droves to your site to check out what you have to say. Just make sure you give them a good reason to go there, and great reasons to keep coming back, and you will build a rock-solid autoresponder campaign that keeps your profits rolling in.
A quick tip on how to format the messages... with today's advances in email, HTML is a good option if your autoresponder system allows it. One step better is to use one that has both plain text and HTML options so that when a person has HTML turned off for their email software, they will receive the text version only. For the letters to look uniform and to avoid the auto wrapping many autoresponder systems will use when adding your letters, I highly recommend not making the lines of your letters longer than 50 characters in length.
Kick start your campaign by offering a free report or e-book via a lead capture page with your autoresponder sign up form attached to the autoresponder letters you create. It will keep a non-stop flow of people receiving your letters and coming to your site to buy your products.

Title: 10 Ways To Incorporate Proof and Believability In Your Ads by Debbie Ducker
|
|
When your prospect reads your ad, you want to make sure he believes any claims you make about your product or service. Because if there's any doubt in his mind, he won't bite, no matter how sweet the deal. In fact, the “too good to be true” mentality will virtually guarantee a lost sale…even if it is all true.
So what can you do to increase the perception of believability? Because after all, it's the perception you need to address up front. But of course you also must make sure your copy is accurate and truthful.
Here are some tried and tested methods that will help.
1. If you're dealing with existing customers who already know you deliver as promised, emphasize that trust. Don't leave it up to them to figure it out. Make them stop, cock their heads, and say, "Oh, yeah. The ABC Company has never done me wrong before. I can trust them."
2. Include real testimonials from your satisfied customers. Be sure to put full names and locations, where possible. Remember, "A.S." is a lot less believable than "Andy Sherman, Voorhees, NJ." If you can also include a picture of the customer and/or a professional title, that's even better. It doesn't matter that your testimonials aren't from somebody famous or that your prospect does not know these people personally. If you have enough compelling testimonials, and they're believable, you're much better off than not including them at all.
3. Pepper your copy with facts and research findings to support your claims. Be sure to credit all sources, even if the fact is common knowledge, because a neutral source goes a long way towards credibility.
4. For a direct mail letter or certain space ads where the copy is in the form of a letter from a specific individual, including a picture of that person helps. But unlike "traditional" real estate letters and other similar ads, I'd put the picture at the end near your signature, or midway through the copy, rather than at the top where it will detract from your headline. And...if your sales letter is from a specific individual, be sure to include his credentials to establish him as an expert in his field (relating to your product or service, of course).
5. If applicable, cite any awards or third-party reviews the product or service has received.
6. If you've sold a lot of widgets, tell them. It's the old "10 million people can't be wrong" adage (they can be, but your prospect will likely take your side on the matter).
7. Include a GREAT return policy and stand by it! This is just good business policy. Many times, offering a double refund guarantee for certain products will result in higher profits. Yes, you'll dish out more refunds, but if you sell three times as many widgets as before, and only have to refund twice as much as before, it may be worth it, depending on your offer and return on investment. Crunch the numbers and see what makes sense. More importantly, test! Make them think, "Gee, they wouldn't be so generous with returns if they didn't stand behind their product!"
8. If you can swing it, adding a celebrity endorsement will always help to establish credibility. Heck, if 'ol honest Abe Lincoln recommended your product and backs up your claims, it must be true! Ok, you get the idea, though.
9. When it makes sense, use 3rd party testimonials. What are 3rd party testimonials? Here's some examples from some Web site copy wrote when there weren't many customer testimonials available yet:
"Spyware, without question, is on an exponential rise over the last six months."
- Alfred Huger, Senior Director of Engineering, Symantec Security Response (maker of Norton security software)
"Simply clicking on a banner ad can install spyware."
- Dave Methvin, Chief Technology Officer, PC Pitstop
A deployment method is to "trick users into consenting to a software download they think they absolutely need"
- Paul Bryan, Director, Security And Technology Unit, Microsoft
Do you see what was done?
The above example took quotes from experts in their respective fields and turned them to the product seller's side. But_be sure to get their consent or permission from the copyright holder if there's ever any question about copyrighted materials as your source.
Note that an emotional hot button was also pushed: fear.
It's been proven that people will generally do more to avoid pain than to obtain pleasure. So why not use that tidbit of info to your advantage?
10. Reveal a flaw about your product. This helps alleviate the "too good to be true" syndrome. You reveal a flaw that isn't really a flaw. Or reveal a flaw that is minor, just to show that you're being "up front" about your product's shortcomings.
Example:
"You're probably thinking right now that this tennis racket is a miracle worker—and it is. But I must tell you that it has one little…shortcoming.
My racket takes about 2 weeks to get used to. In fact, when you first start using it, your game will actually get worse. But if you can just ride it out, you'll see a tremendous improvement in your volleys, net play, serves, …" And so on.
There's a tendency to think, with all of the ads that we are bombarded with today that every advertiser is always putting his best foot forward, so to speak. And I think that line of reasoning is accurate, to a point.
But isn't it refreshing when someone stands out from the crowd and is honest? In other words, your reader will start to subconsciously believe that you are revealing all of the flaws, even though your best foot still stands forward.

Title: Are You Confusing Your Web Site Visitors? by Debbie Ducker
|
|
If you have a cluttered mess of banners and multiple text ads on your site, unless it is a specified site of resources such as a recommended links section, link exchange or a topic specific portal, etc... then you are confusing your visitor.
Your visitor came there for a specific reason, and if they get there and are presented with a confusing mess, you can bet they will not stick around.
I know! Because I had this very same kind of site when I first started to try to sell products on-line. We all tend to do it at first. It just comes natural to do what you have learned and that is usually how to copy and paste HTML codes that affiliate program owner's give you. Before you know it you have mega banners and text ads everywhere and your site takes 10 minutes to load.
Eventually I finally learned that you have to lead the customer into what you have to offer them and why or how it will benefit them and then how they can get it. They will not take the time to find all this out for themselves. Especially if it means weeding through a bunch of irrelevant links.
Once I finally organized the main area of my web site to sell only my products and a few select top affiliate products then I immediately started making money. Every product or service I offer and my top choices in affiliate products and services, was streamlined with it's own information page and specific information on how the customer could order it.
Once your web site visitor understand exactly what it is you have to offer, why they need it and how they can get it... then you have just raised your chances ten fold of making the sale.
Now this will not happen by magic of course. There are certain steps and basic formulas you should follow during this process. Paying close attention to each step as you do it, perfecting it before you move on to the next one will ensure you get optimal results.
Which way you go about this will depend on what you sell and the design of you site. Some site owner's prefer to have everything on one long page. This option does fine if you only have one product. But for multiple products I strongly recommend separate pages for each one, this will help cut down on the confusion.
Basing this on multiple services/products. I suggest an overview of you, your company and what it offers on your main index page. Then lead visitors off to the specific services one page at a time. On each of those pages it will then give you the freedom and room to go into detail about that particular product or service.
Doing the above will also give you the ability to optimize each page based on that product's targeted key words which will help you with a better ranking in the top search engines.
I challenge you to get started today organizing your site for optimal results and sales. Test and re-test and keep tweaking everything from your ad and site copy to your order process, until you are finally making the sales you deserve for your hard work.
Sincerely, Debbie Ducker

Title: Understand The Importance of An Affiliate Program
|
|
Affiliate Programs: Setting Up Your Own Affiliate Program After you’ve been an affiliate for a while, you may develop your own product, or purchase master resell rights to a product, which would allow you to start your own affiliate program, where other people sell the product for you, for a commission. Getting an affiliate program set up for your product is easier than you may realize, and in some cases, there is no cost involved in setting up such a program, if you know where to look and what to do. An affiliate program for your product gives you the ability to reach people in your market that you may not have reached any other way. While you will be paying out commissions to your affiliates, and there may be some initial cost in getting the program set up, you will find that you profit more by having an affiliate program. An affiliate program essentially gives you your own private army of salesmen, all selling your product. Of course some affiliates will sell more than other affiliates, and some affiliates won’t sell anything at all, or even take any steps at all to sell your product – but the ones who do make an effort will earn you profits. Imagine trying to contact the entire world all by yourself. There would be a massive involvement of time, money, and energy, and you probably still couldn’t reach everybody that you need to reach. With an affiliate program, you don’t have to. Your affiliates will go out and spread the word for you. They can reach more people in a shorter amount of time than you can by yourself, and this means that you make more sales faster. Depending on your product and the countries that can make purchases through your merchant processor, you can literally have orders coming in from around the world in a matter of a couple of weeks after launching an affiliate program for your product. While affiliate programs are virtually automated, there will be some effort required on your part not only to start the program, but also to keep it running smoothly so that you and your affiliates continue to profit. Don’t be a bad affiliate manager! Make sure that your affiliates stay motivated, commissions are paid on time, and that you provide your affiliates with the tools that they need for success.

Title: How To Find An Affiliate Program
|
|
If you are interested in becoming an affiliate for a merchant there are literally hundreds of opportunities for you to get involved. The best way to link up with an affiliate program is to locate an expansive affiliate directory. Affiliate directories work a lot like a dictionary or phone book; it is a listing of every legit affiliate program on the Internet. Many of them contain links or specific information about each affiliate program but it is up to you to do some research and decide which may or may not be right for you. Choosing the Affiliate Program for You With so many affiliate programs to choose from you might feel your head spinning as you try to choose which is right for you. You can begin to look into affiliate programs by choosing those that are relevant to your website. When you choose affiliate programs that are relevant to your website, product, or service you will find that your clientele are much more likely to click on the links or purchase the products from the merchant, allowing you to get paid. If the affiliate program is not at all tied to your website or your service you will be hard pressed to get people to click or buy regularly, making it difficult to earn money with the affiliate program. Look Into Payment Terms You’ll want to look into the payment terms associated with any particular affiliate program. This is important because some affiliate programs pay much better than others. Also, some just require your clients to click on the links while others require that someone actually clicks on the link and then purchases product or becomes a serious lead. You will want to understand the terms of your payment and ensure that it is something that you can actually earn money with. If you don’t feel as though you can earn money or that the payment terms are fair than you should continue to look for an affiliate program that will better fit your needs. Ask Questions An affiliate network is much like a phone book, it gives you the facts but you still have to determine which business is right for you. If you find a handful of affiliate programs that you think may work for you, ask them any lingering questions that you may have about their business, how to become qualified to be an affiliate, or about payment arrangements. Any questions you have should be answered in a timely and professional fashion, and if they aren’t then you should definitely move on and find other affiliate programs to work with. Everyone can find a great affiliate program to work with. If you find the right program you can not only earn quite a bit of money but you can also make some great business contacts. Remember to try to find affiliate programs that are relevant to your website or service that you provide to your clients. If you do your homework and you are sure to do business with a relevant affiliate there is no limit to your earning potential now and in the future. You ability to find the right program will directly affect how much money you can make through any given affiliate program, and isn’t that the point?

Title: Best Affiliate Program: Black Belt Marketing Success Secrets
|
|
If you search the internet you’ll find millions of free and also paid online affiliate programs.
Most people have signed up in these online affiliate programs and tried to make money from them but failed miserably.
They don’t know why.
Are you one of them?
If yes, read on to find out how to locate the right top affiliate program and how to promote it to start making money.
All affiliate programs are not created equal.
Some will make you money if properly promoted and others will not, no matter what you do.
Why?
Below are some reasons why.
(1) The Right Affiliate Programs To Promote
Most people are under the mistaken notion that just because an affiliate program is free that they can promote it and get rich.
Nothing can be farther away from the truth.
The bitter reality is that if an affiliate program is free, then most likely thousands of people will want to sign up to promote it.
Since thousands of people are promoting it, competition will be stiff and so the likelihood of getting rich from it will be slim because there will be more people promoting it than people who wish to buy it.
When supply is greater than demand, profitability will nose dive.
This is economics 101.
So stay away from free online affiliate programs which hundreds of thousands of people are already promoting!
The best online affiliate program which will likely make you rich will be the one that very few people are promoting and which is in great demand. The demand MUST be greater than supply.
Most likely, such an affiliate program will not be offered free!
You will have to pay for it to promote it.
When people are required to pay to promote an affiliate program, then most people will not sign up for it, so only few people will promote it.
This will then guarantee that the demand for it will be greater than the number of people who promote it and this means that the profitability for it will skyrocket.
This is the kind of online affiliate program which can make you rich!
There are few people online who are getting rich from online affiliate marketing and this is one of their sacred hidden secrets of success!
(2) Build Landing Pages For Your Online Affiliate Programs
You must create a landing page at your website for any affiliate program which you desire to promote.
At the landing page, you will then include a short introduction of the affiliate program, preferably, your own personal experience of using the program or a short review.
Then at the bottom, include the link to the affiliate program website.
This affiliate program landing page must be optimized also.
If you don’t know how to optimize a website, please contact us for a free Seo e-book which will reveal the hidden online millionaire webmasters Seo “SECRETS” to you.
You may also add Google Adsense ads and other pay per click ads as well as Clickbank products on this page to monetize it.
This way, if your customer doesn’t click and go to the affiliate program, they may click on any of the pay per click ads such as Adsense or Clickbankbuddy or pay per click ad and you’ll make money.
If you don’t know how to monetize your website with Google Adsense, Clickbankbuddy ads and pay per click products and ads, please contact us for free help.
By having a landing page for your affiliate programs at your website, you have the advantage of not losing all the traffic you’ve built up if the affiliate program is stopped.
If the affiliate program which you’re promoting is discontinued, you may replace it with another similar affiliate program and continue generating income from it.
(3) Secret To Promote Your Online Affiliate Program
Online marketing has become more difficult than rocket science.
During the past couple of years, most affiliate marketing strategies which used to work 6 yrs ago don’t work anymore.
E-mail marketing has been dead for many years now.
And the ISPs have added salt to the injury by creating so many filters which filter away your e-mail offers and so they don’t reach their destinations.
Besides, most people don’t read their e-mails anymore.
Most people have been bombarded by thousands of spams and offers and they just don’t have time to read these offers anymore.
So e-mail marketing is completely dead.
Free For All, FFA promotion is dead too.
Banner advertising is dead too, unless you have thousands of dollars to promote it at highly trafficked sites.
Search engine marketing, SEM doesn’t work any more because the search engines are constantly changing their optimization rules.
It takes both Google and Yahoo several weeks to even index your page and include it in their system.
You may optimize your website properly and attain a top ten position in a few keywords.
But they never last long.
In a few months when they update their search ranking, all your positions may likely disappear and your traffic will be gone too.
You may try to promote through Google Adword campaign.
But the truth is that not all programs can succeed in getting traffic from Google Adword or any other pay per click advertising.
If you try to promote an online affiliate program, which hundreds of thousands of others are already promoting using Google Adword and pay per click advertising, you’ll end up squandering thousands of dollars! This has happened to many people already.
So stop squandering your money in pay per click advertising.
(There is a better way. To learn more contact us for free help.)
You may also try to use article writing to promote your affiliate programs.
But very few people know the “SECRET” on how to write a highly optimized interesting article which will attain top ranking in the search engines and therefore produce traffic and sales for your online affiliate program.
To succeed in doing this, you must know how to optimize the article, it must be interesting and you must post it where many people will read it.
If you write and post an article but it can’t be found in the search engines when people search for the affiliate program which you’re promoting and if people are not reading it at the article directories where you posted it, you’ll not generate any traffic or sales!
This is what many people are doing and among the TOP reasons why they are not making any money in their online affiliate marketing.
(4) Traffic Is The Lifeblood Of Success In Online Affiliate Marketing Program
There are so many naïve people who have spent tons of dollars buying internet marketing e-books, programs and videos from so called internet marketing gurus and as if that is not enough, they have been suckered into squandering thousands of dollars attending seminars organized by these so called gurus only to find out that what they are peddling are outdated and archaic internet marketing strategies which don’t work any more.
These suckers never to think about the truth.
The truth is that no right thinking businessman will sell a secret on how to generate thousands of traffic daily to you for $50, when he knows he can keep his secret, use them to promote hundreds of affiliate programs and make millions.
The real truth is that these so called gurus have no secret that really work. But what they have is a large e-mail list which they have built through e-zine and newsletter publishing for many years.
So they make their money by marketing their e-books and affiliate programs to these mailing lists.
If you have 50,000-100,000 e-mail lists which you have generated over 6 yrs, you’ll always manage to make a few thousands of dollars marketing any program to them especially if it is about internet marketing!
In conclusion, there are still a few online affiliate programs which are easy to market and generate obscene income and there are still many jealously guarded traffic generating secrets which work and which can explode your website traffic and sales and so make you rich instantly.
But they are not free. They will cost you some money.
If you’re ready to pay to sign up in any of these few online affiliate programs, and to get the powerful traffic generating secrets of millionaire webmasters, then you’re serious about getting rich from online affiliate programs.
May these insights about affiliate program, best affiliate program, free affiliate program, affiliate marketing program, top affiliate program, free online affiliate program, best free online affiliate program, online affiliate program, make money with affiliate program help you to attain success in your online business.

Title: How To Find An Affiliate Program
|
|
If you are interested in becoming an affiliate for a merchant there are literally hundreds of opportunities for you to get involved. The best way to link up with an affiliate program is to locate an expansive affiliate directory. Affiliate directories work a lot like a dictionary or phone book; it is a listing of every legit affiliate program on the Internet. Many of them contain links or specific information about each affiliate program but it is up to you to do some research and decide which may or may not be right for you.
Choosing the Affiliate Program for You
With so many affiliate programs to choose from you might feel your head spinning as you try to choose which is right for you. You can begin to look into affiliate programs by choosing those that are relevant to your website. When you choose affiliate programs that are relevant to your website, product, or service you will find that your clientele are much more likely to click on the links or purchase the products from the merchant, allowing you to get paid. If the affiliate program is not at all tied to your website or your service you will be hard pressed to get people to click or buy regularly, making it difficult to earn money with the affiliate program.
Look Into Payment Terms
You’ll want to look into the payment terms associated with any particular affiliate program. This is important because some affiliate programs pay much better than others. Also, some just require your clients to click on the links while others require that someone actually clicks on the link and then purchases product or becomes a serious lead. You will want to understand the terms of your payment and ensure that it is something that you can actually earn money with. If you don’t feel as though you can earn money or that the payment terms are fair than you should continue to look for an affiliate program that will better fit your needs.
Ask Questions
An affiliate network is much like a phone book, it gives you the facts but you still have to determine which business is right for you. If you find a handful of affiliate programs that you think may work for you, ask them any lingering questions that you may have about their business, how to become qualified to be an affiliate, or about payment arrangements. Any questions you have should be answered in a timely and professional fashion, and if they aren’t then you should definitely move on and find other affiliate programs to work with.
Everyone can find a great affiliate program to work with. If you find the right program you can not only earn quite a bit of money but you can also make some great business contacts. Remember to try to find affiliate programs that are relevant to your website or service that you provide to your clients. If you do your homework and you are sure to do business with a relevant affiliate there is no limit to your earning potential now and in the future. You ability to find the right program will directly affect how much money you can make through any given affiliate program, and isn’t that the point? Get started searching for an affiliate program that will work for you today.

Title: Affiliate Program Promotion: Stop Being an Affiliate Program Jerk
|
|
There are millions of different affiliate programs on the internet and also offline to join and most are free.
During the past 7 yrs, millions of people from all over the world have joined these free affiliate programs in order to generate supplemental incomes or full time as home based businesses.
Since most of these affiliates have full time jobs and have little or no computing, website or business marketing and management skills, most have found it very difficult to generate affiliate commissions and reasonable income because they don’t know how to generate website traffics.
Therefore, some of them were forced to flock to the so-called internet-marketing gurus to buy internet-marketing e-books, website promotion softwares and read gazillion numbers of silly e-zines to learn how to promote their affiliate programs and websites.
Some of these so-called gurus went as far as seducing these internet newbies into attending their over priced internet-marketing seminars for $5000 in different cities in America and other countries of the world.
In some of these internet marketing e-books, the so called internet marketing gurus told them that the big secrets of getting rich on the internet were to get massive traffics by placing free classified ads, advertising in FFA (Free For All) websites, placing banner ads, doing pay per click advertising, creating thousands of blogs and pinging them, buying expensive text ad links, doing reciprocal link exchange with other websites, doing opt-in e-mail marketing, joint venture marketing, optimize and submit their websites to search engines, write articles about topics relating to their internet business and affiliate programs and submit them to thousands of article directories so as to get one way links, high page ranks and top 10 ranking so as to get massive traffics.
The so-called website marketing gurus seduced them into believing that to be able to do all these promotions they must use certain softwares and programs, which they must buy from them (the so-called internet marketing gurus!)
Some of these internet marketer newbies followed all these advices diligently and bought the softwares, did all the recommended internet marketing and promotions.
They have done the internet promotion work, but they were generating little or no traffics and sales despite spending thousands of dollars and their valuable time for 1yr-2yrs.
Finally, they became fade up and were forced to begin to scream, “Where is the money?”
What they did not realize was that most of the internet marketing strategies, which the so-called gurus had recommended, had been out of date, stale, invalid and did not work any more.
They did not know that the gurus do not even use those internet marketing and website promotion strategies.
This is because most of the so-called gurus had already made their money in various businesses before they got involved in internet businesses.
Most had built large customer base for about 10yrs-20 yrs before they began internet business.
One so-called internet-marketing guru sold his offline business for about $20,000,000 before he began his internet business and had more than 100,000 e-mail list to market any product to and generate thousands of dollars easily and instantly.
He was awash in raw cash and had 100,000 people he could send e-mails to market any product.
Obviously, most of the internet marketing strategies he recommended such as opt-in e-mail marketing worked for him and made him rich because he already had 100,000 in-house e-mail list databases of customers!
So, in their minds, the so called gurus might have believed that just because their internet marketing strategies worked for them it would work for everybody who bought their $29.95 e-books and website promotion softwares.
It is clear that what these gurus have been selling are half-truths.
They do not tell their customers the whole truth for obvious reasons.
Think about it.
Why would a so-called internet-marketing guru sell a powerful internet marketing “secret” which could make him $500,000 to somebody for $29.95?
Think seriously and logically about it.
Why would such a website marketing guru be naïve enough to sell it to thousands of Tom, Dick and Jane all over the world and therefore create unnecessary competitions for him/her, which would affect his income and profits negatively?
This is a no-brainer.
It is irrational.
No right thinking, rational and profit-motivated businessperson will do that: cut his/her nose to spite his/her face.
This will explain why only the so-called website marketing gurus have been getting richer in their internet businesses while the buyers of their internet marketing e-books and website promotion softwares have been doing poorly, and not succeeding as much as the website promotion gurus have in their affiliate programs marketing and internet businesses.
Website traffics, visitors and customers are the lifeblood of every business, both on the internet and off the internet.
If you cannot get massive website traffics and genuine targeted visitors to your affiliate program websites, you will not generate any sales and affiliate commission and income.
It is as simple as that.
So what are the secrets, which can help you to begin to generate massive website traffics and genuine visitors so that you may begin generating large amount of affiliate commissions like the super affiliates in your affiliate programs?
Here are some common sense useful tips to help you skyrocket your success in affiliate program marketing:
(1) Choose and promote only high paying affiliate programs.
Before you begin promotion, phone the company and make sure they are real people (and not just a bunch of 12 yr old kids goofing around online) and inquire how long it takes them to pay the commissions and ask how to verify that they pay their affiliates.
Ask them to refer you to some of their affiliates so that you may verify everything.
Most affiliate companies do not pay the commissions and you will not know until after you had spent time and money for a few months to promote their products and generated a large commission.
Then you will find out they would refuse to pay.
So check out and research the affiliate program before you begin promotion to make sure you will be paid your affiliate commissions.
(2) Select and promote only affiliate programs in high demand with mass appeal but with small number of marketers and sellers/suppliers.
The demand must be greater than the supply for you to generate massive traffics and generate large amount of commissions.
The higher the demand for the product/service, the more there will be traffics/visitors, sales and large affiliate commissions to be made.
(3) Stay away from most free affiliate programs.
Since they are free, hundreds of thousands of affiliates may be promoting them already, therefore saturating the market and creating more supply than demand and therefore making it hard to generate massive traffics, sales and affiliate commissions.
(4) Create your own affiliate program landing pages for all your affiliate programs.
On this landing page, include a short review of the affiliate program and how you have enjoyed it (if you have or how anyone else who bought it enjoyed it.)
Or you may use any testimonials at the company’s website.
Be sure to optimize this affiliate program landing page with the proper keywords.
This will help it to be indexed in the search engines and so get exposures and traffics.
If you do not know how to optimize a website/affiliate landing page, please go to our website and get our FREE POWERFUL INTERNET MARKETING E-BOOK, “PRAGMATIC MARKETING, THE HIGH OCTANE MARKETING SECRETS OF MILLIONAIRE WEBSMASTERS”
(Go to: http://maychic.com/affprograms.htm)

Search engines index billions of websites all the time so competition is stiff.
Do not relax and wait for them to come and index your websites and affiliate program landing pages.
Submit the affiliate program landing pages to them every two weeks to keep them in the front before them.
(6) Submit your affiliate program landing pages to book marking websites and be sure to add book-marking buttons in them so that your website visitors may book mark them and help you get exposures in the search engines.
(7) Do link exchange campaign for the affiliate program landing pages.
The more links and exposures you get in the major search engines for your affiliate program landing pages, the more traffics, sales and large amount of commissions that you would generate.
The secrets are exposure, exposure, exposure and traffics, traffics, and more traffics.

Title: Online Affiliate Program: Why Most People Fail in Affiliate Programs
|
|
If you search the internet you’ll find millions of free and also paid online affiliate programs.
Most people have signed up in these online affiliate programs and tried to make money from them but failed miserably.
They don’t know why.
Are you one of them?
If yes, read on to find out how to locate the right top affiliate program and how to promote it to start making money.
All affiliate programs are not created equal.
Some will make you money if properly promoted and others will not, no matter what you do.
Why?
Below are some reasons why.
(1) The Right Affiliate Programs To Promote
Most people are under the mistaken notion that just because an affiliate program is free that they can promote it and get rich.
Nothing can be farther away from the truth.
The bitter reality is that if an affiliate program is free, then most likely thousands of people will want to sign up to promote it.
Since thousands of people are promoting it, competition will be stiff and so the likelihood of getting rich from it will be slim because there will be more people promoting it than people who wish to buy it.
When supply is greater than demand, profitability will nose dive.
This is economics 101.
So stay away from free online affiliate programs which hundreds of thousands of people are already promoting!
The best online affiliate program which will likely make you rich will be the one that very few people are promoting and which is in great demand. The demand MUST be greater than supply.
Most likely, such an affiliate program will not be offered free!
You will have to pay for it to promote it.
When people are required to pay to promote an affiliate program, then most people will not sign up for it, so only few people will promote it.
This will then guarantee that the demand for it will be greater than the number of people who promote it and this means that the profitability for it will skyrocket.
This is the kind of online affiliate program which can make you rich!
There are few people online who are getting rich from online affiliate marketing and this is one of their sacred hidden secrets of success!
(2) Build Landing Pages For Your Online Affiliate Programs
You must create a landing page at your website for any affiliate program which you desire to promote.
At the landing page, you will then include a short introduction of the affiliate program, preferably, your own personal experience of using the program or a short review.
Then at the bottom, include the link to the affiliate program website.
This affiliate program landing page must be optimized also.
If you don’t know how to optimize a website, please contact us for a free Seo e-book which will reveal the hidden online millionaire webmasters Seo “SECRETS” to you.
You may also add Google Adsense ads and other pay per click ads as well as Clickbank products on this page to monetize it.
This way, if your customer doesn’t click and go to the affiliate program, they may click on any of the pay per click ads such as Adsense or Clickbankbuddy or pay per click ad and you’ll make money.
If you don’t know how to monetize your website with Google Adsense, Clickbankbuddy ads and pay per click products and ads, please contact us for free help.
By having a landing page for your affiliate programs at your website, you have the advantage of not losing all the traffic you’ve built up if the affiliate program is stopped.
If the affiliate program which you’re promoting is discontinued, you may replace it with another similar affiliate program and continue generating income from it.
(3) Secret To Promote Your Online Affiliate Program
Online marketing has become more difficult than rocket science.
During the past couple of years, most affiliate marketing strategies which used to work 6 yrs ago don’t work anymore.
E-mail marketing has been dead for many years now.
And the ISPs have added salt to the injury by creating so many filters which filter away your e-mail offers and so they don’t reach their destinations.
Besides, most people don’t read their e-mails anymore.
Most people have been bombarded by thousands of spams and offers and they just don’t have time to read these offers anymore.
So e-mail marketing is completely dead.
Free For All, FFA promotion is dead too.
Banner advertising is dead too, unless you have thousands of dollars to promote it at highly trafficked sites.
Search engine marketing, SEM doesn’t work any more because the search engines are constantly changing their optimization rules.
It takes both Google and Yahoo several weeks to even index your page and include it in their system.
You may optimize your website properly and attain a top ten position in a few keywords.
But they never last long.
In a few months when they update their search ranking, all your positions may likely disappear and your traffic will be gone too.
You may try to promote through Google Adword campaign.
But the truth is that not all programs can succeed in getting traffic from Google Adword or any other pay per click advertising.
If you try to promote an online affiliate program, which hundreds of thousands of others are already promoting using Google Adword and pay per click advertising, you’ll end up squandering thousands of dollars! This has happened to many people already.
So stop squandering your money in pay per click advertising.
(There is a better way. To learn more contact us for free help.)
You may also try to use article writing to promote your affiliate programs.
But very people know the “SECRET” on how to write a highly optimized interesting article which will attain top ranking in the search engines and therefore produce traffic and sales for your online affiliate program.
To succeed in doping this, you must know how to optimize the article, it must be interesting and you must post it where many people will read it.
If you write and post an article but it can’t be found in the search engines when people search for the affiliate program which you’re promoting and if people are not reading it at the article directories where you posted it, you’ll not generate any traffic or sales!
This is what many people are doing and among the TOP reasons why they are not making any money in their online affiliate marketing.
(4) Traffic Is The Lifeblood Of Success In Online Affiliate Marketing Program
There are so many naïve people who have spent tons of dollars buying internet marketing e-books, programs and videos from so called internet marketing gurus and as if that is not enough, they have been suckered into squandering thousands of dollars attending seminars organized by these so called gurus only to find out that what they are peddling are outdated and archaic internet marketing strategies which don’t work any more.
These suckers never to think about the truth.
The truth is that no right thinking businessman will sell a secret on how to generate thousands of traffic daily to you for $50, when he knows he can keep his secret, use them to promote hundreds of affiliate programs and make millions.
The real truth is that these so called gurus have no secret that really work. But what they have is a large e-mail list which they have built through e-zine and newsletter publishing for many years.
So they make their money by marketing their e-books and affiliate programs to these mailing lists.
If you have 50,000-100,000 e-mail lists which you have generated over 6 yrs, you’ll always manage to make a few thousands of dollars marketing any program to them especially if it is about internet marketing!
In conclusion, there are still a few online affiliate programs which are easy to market and generate obscene income and there are still many jealously guarded traffic generating secrets which work and which can explode your website traffic and sales and so make you rich instantly.
But they are not free. They will cost you some money.
If you’re ready to pay to sign up in any of these few online affiliate programs, and to get the powerful traffic generating secrets of millionaire webmasters, then you’re serious about getting rich from online affiliate programs.
May these insights about affiliate program, best affiliate program, free affiliate program, affiliate marketing program, top affiliate program, free online affiliate program, best free online affiliate program, online affiliate program, make money with affiliate program help you to attain success in your online business.
