Make Money Online With Affiliate Program Marketing

If you are still not sure how to make money online with affiliate program marketing then today I wanted to share with you some of the resources I use and/or have used in the past.

Please note that I am an affiliate for all the marketing teachers I am about to tell you about.  Each one has a different style, approach, price point and target market but I have learned a lot from them all.   My disclaimer (from experience of course) is that you need ONLY CHOOSE ONE learning style and stick with it until you are making money online.  Do not attempt to take onboard everything – you will end up overwhelmed, guaranteed!

Ok first thing first, look below and decide what best describes where you are at right now …

• Beginner already with a home based business opportunity:
• Beginner looking for something to get excited about promoting:
• Beginner with an affiliate program already chosen looking for marketing tips:
• Someone ready to create your own product and have affiliates market it for you:

The reason why I have learnt from a number of different teachers (many many more than who I will won’t tell you about today) is because I have been all of the above at different stages of my online journey.

You too might be a mix of some or all of these, but as I said before, please choose just one style of marketing and stick to it until it is working well for you before moving onto another.  Believe me the school of hindsight has wisdom!

So who’s who in the zoo then …

1. Jonathan Budd

If you are a beginner already with a home based business opportunity then JB is your man.  With his 7 figure networker system you can set up potential multiple income streams all in one tidy place, have your biz opp sitting on the back end of a well crafted funded proposal marketing funnel AND get access to some truly incredible marketing training.

The cost for this plug and play system (depending on how much you want to customize it) is around $50 per month.  The price may be going up soon and I can vouch for it if it does simply because it is SO comprehensive.

This system is also suitable to the beginner looking for something to get excited about promoting
especially if you are tuned into personal development. Jonathan is a gifted teacher for sure but please be aware that his target audience are network marketers and the language he uses relates directly to this Industry.

2.  James Schramko

If network marketing is not your cup of tea then without a doubt the best internet marketing teacher on the planet is from Australia!  (google “coolest guy on the planet” – many have tried to knock Brad Fallon from stompernet off that perch and only James succeeded – they are great mates btw).

James has one of the most sought after private mentoring community full of tools, indepth training programs, underground marketing tips and tricks that main stream marketers have absolutely NO IDEA about.  I have only been involved in this forum since May 2009 and honestly didn’t think it would be possible for it to get any better but it has.

James is the ideal teacher for both beginners with an affiliate program already chosen looking for marketing tips and if you are someone ready to create your own product and have affiliates market it for you.

A lot of his stuff will appears to be quite advanced, and I don’t even know when the coaching forum will open up again, but even just starting with some of his free and cheap products I guarantee you will develop vital skills and be encouraged to apply them immediately.

Start with his blog Internet Marketing Speed

Grab his free Accelerate Affiliate Steps

Buy his $17 “It’s not about the website”

and you can’t go wrong.  Once you are on his list, he will let you know when the doors will open up again for the private forum which costs $99.95 per month (and possibly the best money I’ve ever spent).

3. Jimmy D. Brown

Now this guy has been around forever!  To be honest though I’ve had more to do with his affiliate manager Nicole Dean than directly with Jimmy, but he has great lessons at a very affordable rate of $27 per month.  To give you an example

Here are five steps from his free email list …

1. CHOOSE THE OFFER YOU WISH TO PROMOTE

This one is kind of a no-brainer. It all begins with deciding what you want to promote. What offer would you like to send traffic to.

HINT:  You can promote your affiliate link directly, but
what works better is to promote a list at YOUR site which
you then use to promote your affiliate link over and over
again after the visitor becomes a subscribers.

2. DETERMINE YOUR “USEFUL, BUT INCOMPLETE” APPROACH.

I love to use what I have coined as the “useful, but incomplete” approach when using freebies of any kind.
(Ezine articles, free eBooks, reports, eCourses, etc.)

What I mean by that is simply this: You provide your reader with “useful” information (something they find of value and are able to actually apply) but make certain that it is “incomplete” in that they can better use the information by making a purchase.

That’s “useful, but incomplete.” And it works like a charm.

The idea is to use your content to build up to your desired response. You provide the reader with content, and then you make an offer that allows them to fully utilize the content, gain extra insight from the content or maximize the content in some additional way.

Let me give you an example -

If I wanted to promote an autoresponder service in an
ezine article, how could I do it?  I’d write an article
that explains how to benefit from using autoresponders.
My article would exlain different uses of autoresponders
and how the reader could profit from implementing the
ideas.

** I.E.  7 Ways To Create Revenue Streams With Autoresponders

Naturally, they will need an autoresponder service in order to use the information, right?  And I just happen to know of a great service they can use.  More on that later.

OK, so that’s an example of how to promote a SERVICE offer with your ezine article. What about a software product or an eBook?

Want some examples?

Good, because I’ve got two…

TO PROMOTE A SOFTWARE PRODUCT.  Let’s suppose you want to promote a software program that creates “ecovers”.  How can you do it?

– Write an article outlining how important presentation of your
offer is, and how creating a cover graphic can increase response
rates by up to 1300%

– Write a step-by-step tutorial article for “do-it-yourselfers”,
explaining how to design your own graphics from scratch.  Then
promote the software as a super-simplified way of doing it.

TO PROMOTE AN EBOOK.  Let’s suppose you want to promote an ebook
that teaches advanced list-building strategies.   How can you do it?

– Write an article that covers the “basics” of building lists,
and then promote the eBook as the “advanced” tactics.

– Write an article on how to profit from a list, and then promote
the eBook as the “how to build the list.”

See how easy this is?

That’s how it works. Determine what your “useful, but incomplete”
approach will be, and then…

3. TURN YOUR APPROACH INTO A TIPS OR TUTORIAL ARTICLE.

Let’s use my example again. I decided that I would describe various uses of autoresponders and how the reader can actually profit from them. What kind of tips list or tutorial could I create?

* How to Generate More Subscribers, Sales and Profits With
Automated Follow-Up Messages”

* 7 Powerful And Profitable Ways To Use Autoresponders To Skyrocket
Your Sales and Subscribers!

* Want to Increase Your Online Profits And Leads? Here are 7 Ways
to Do It…

I actually went with the middle title. I wrote my list of the 7 ideas that I wanted to share. And I had the makings of a perfect article to promote an offer.

That’s all you need to do. Determine your end result. Decide how to get there with your “useful, but incomplete” approach. And then develop a list, or even a step-by-step tutorial for your article that leads the reader along.

With each new “idea” or “way” or “tip” or “step” or “strategy”
that you share, you can further direct the reader towards realizing their need of your upcoming offer, and lay the foundation for them to accept the offer.

4. EXPAND ON EACH POINT TO BUILD YOUR CONTENT.

Here’s more of the easy part. Just “fill-in-the-blanks” to complete your article. Write 1-2 short paragraphs for each of your points.
Make them good. Provide quality content. The offer you will soon make will see poor results if your information isn’t useful.

Remember, you are trying to presell the reader on the idea that they are going to need your offer. If you don’t provide them with quality information that they WANT to begin using immediately, then why will they want to buy what you are promoting?

Light a fire in them. Motivate them. Challenge them. Give them such nuggets of gold that they want to keep mining until they hit the mother lode!

5. PUT ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES WITH THE “FIVE PILLARS”

There are five things that you should always do to finish up your ezine article. Don’t skip any of them. They are all critical…

* POLISH. Re-read your article. Does it provide information
that really is “useful” to the reader? And yet leaves them
wanting even more? That’s what you want. Polish it. Put
on the wax and make it shine. It has a very specific
purpose — make certain it has the means to achieve it.

* PROMOTE. Use your resource box to promote your offer. This
is why we’ve written the article, right? Remember step one?
It’s time to put it into play. Give the reader what they
(hopefully) are wanting…a way to maximize the information
you gave them.

* PROOF. Don’t do this yourself. Have a trusted friend, relative
or co-worker check your article for grammatical and
typographical errors. The last thing you want to do is present
a poor image after sharing some high quality information.

* PUBLISH. Zip your new article out to your favorite list of
publishers. Submit it to the announcement lists and the ezine
directories. Don’t forget to publish it yourself in your own
newsletter!

* PROFIT. If you’ve covered all the bases that I’ve mentioned,
then profits are almost certain to start coming in when your
ezine article is published. You deserve it. Be proud of your
accomplishments.
