so it very easily fits in with full time employment or other internet
marketing commitments.

Tutorial - Download & read me first
Once you have read your first day tutorial you need
to send a broadcast email to your mailing list.
If you
own a subscribers list, sending an endorsement for our product is the
best way to make instant commissions. But if you have yet to start
building a mailing list, what are you waiting for? Sign up for an
autoresponder account at
Aweber and start building one today!
(IMPORTANT: We do NOT condone SPAM. Please make sure you
only send emails to mailing lists that you've built on your own. This
does not include email lists that you've purchased from others.
We've
had many unfortunate cases of affiliates spamming. Any affiliate
caught spamming will be banned from our affiliate program immediately.
Period)
All our
products include swipe emails that you can use immediately.
Alternatively, you can write your own solo ad email based on your own
experiences or comments about the product. Your subscribers will trust
your personal recommendation better!
Download
the Swipe Emails Now!
Load one of the emails
into your autoresponder follow-up sequence
The
next step is to take the following swipe email - or an email that you
wrote yourself - and load it into your autoresponder follow-up
sequence. Note this is different from sending a broadcast email.
Doing
so will mean that all your new subscribers who just opted into your
various lists will automatically learn about the affiliate product
you're promoting. It's an easy way for you to keep making sales on
complete autopilot. Say if you set it up for message six as soon as a
subscriber hits that message number it will plop into their inbox
without you having to even think about it.
Promote the affiliate product in your thank you emails
"Thank
you" emails are probably the most read emails so this provides a great
opportunity for a backend sale. Whether you're saying thanks for
joining your newsletter or for buying a product, always include a
short ad inside the first email you send out to your list (or
otherwise known as a thank you email).
Promote the affiliate product in your login, download or thank you
pages
Often the
"thank you page" that is displayed after someone makes a purchase or
signs up for your newsletter is relatively under utilized. Put these
pages to work by placing "thank you" boxes on all your thank you pages
or offer the free memberships to your subscribers and customers as an
unadvertised bonus.
Here is an idea for you to use on your pages:

Create
an affiliate review page
It is no
secret that most internet marketers read reviews before making a
purchase. Most people will do a search on Google for the product's
name and check out the reviews before buying. So imagine if you give a
good review of the product... There's a high chance that you'll earn a
commission when the interested prospect buys through your affiliate
link!
We've
included several review page writing tips inside the lesson above, so
be sure to read them carefully.
We
recommend that you purchase the product that you wish to promote as
that will ensure that you know the product inside-out and will be able
to give a better review of it. You can always use your affiliate link
to purchase if you like.
Download your
affiliate review now!
So get
started and create a review site for the first product you wish to
promote!
Submit a classified ad
Classified
ads often show up high in search engine results so they get a lot of
targeted traffic from there.
Note: Affiliate links are not allowed for most classified
sites, so do link to your review page instead.
Site 1.
Visit http://www.craigslist.com/
and post an ad. (Note that affiliate links are prohibited so be sure
to link to your affiliate review page). Craiglist is one of the MOST
visited websites in the world and it receives close to 10 billion
views per month.
Site 2. Go to
http://classifieds.yahoo.com/ (register an account if you don't
have one) and post an ad. (Affiliate links are also prohibited here so
be careful)
Site 3. Another classified ads site you may want to check out
is US classifieds, which you can find at the following URL:
http://www.usfreeads.com/.
This is a massive classified ads site, where you will find a lot of
both buyers and sellers. Most products are physical; however, there is
no rule prohibiting the sales of electronic products. The good news
it, affiliate links are ALLOWED!
Site 4. Visit http://ebay.com/
and post a classified ad. It costs $10 for a whole month but you can
probably make back the investment. eBay has the largest marketplace on
the Web with millions of visitors who are hungry buyers.
Banner Advertising
Now we
have to admit this is a method which we aren't exactly very familiar
with, though many affiliates have been getting good results with them.
To learn more about banner advertising, be sure to view the lesson
above.
Next, you
can grab the banners from below the lessons. Then just use these banners for your banner advertising
campaigns.
Submit
a Press Release
This is a
rather advanced technique which if done right can create a huge wave
and buzz for your affiliate sites. It is highly recommended that you
view the download for day 2 above first. You may also want to brush up on your
press release writing skills by spending some time at the following
URL:
http://www.press-release-writing.com/.
Once
you've gotten the hang on it, simply write a press release and link it
to your Blog or affiliate review page for the product which you wish
to promote.
Alright,
that's all for Day 2. Repeat the above steps for each product you wish
to promote! Then take a break and move on to implementing the steps
for Day 3 tomorrow.

Change your email &
forum signatures
Next,
change the forum signatures within each forum. It's usually found at
the 'Profile' section. But note, each forum has it's own rules &
regulations which could change over time, so be sure to read them
carefully to avoid getting into any trouble with the moderators.
You can
also include a signature with your affiliate links in all your
business and personal emails as well.
Note, most boards don't allow blatant advertising. If you do so, you
could get booted out of the forums easily. So be sure not to commit
that mistake! Nonetheless, MOST will allow you to include a few lines
in your signature to promote whatever you wish - this can help
generate a ton of exposure and click-throughs to your affiliate
products.
Note:
If affiliate links are not allowed in any of your signature files,
just link to your review page that you've created earlier on instead.
Of course,
you may prefer to write your own ads for your signature. Just be sure
to make this mini advertisement as impactful and attractive as you can
in order to increase your click-throughs!
Post on forums
Posting on
forums is one of the cheapest and fastest ways in which you can
advertise affiliates products on the Internet; however, in order to do
this successfully, you must do a number of things carefully. Simply
starting a thread that contains an affiliate link might be a good way
to get banned from a particular forum board, but it will never be a
good way to make sales.
You should
begin by developing a good reputation on those forums. So for now,
take this time to make a few useful posts on each of the forums that
you've created an account at. Post regularly, avoid meaningless fights
and contribute useful, on-target information to
discussions. In a matter of 1-2 weeks, you will have developed a reputation, provided that the forum receives a considerable amount of
traffic.
Remember to repeat this process in all applicable forums. Look for
high traffic forums that allow commercial link posting in signature
files – that also happen to fit with your specific
audience-targeting and marketing angle goals.
Alright, that's all for Day 3. Repeat the above steps for each product
you wish to promote! Then take a break and move on to implementing the

Submit
an Ezine ad
Ezine
advertising has worked well for many, but likewise it has failed for
some too. There are a couple of criteria to take note of which we've
pointed out in the above lessons, so make sure to read through them.
Once
you've identified an Ezine that looks good and profitable, simply
purchase a solo ad and use it for the affiliate product you wish to
promote.
Create
a Blog Post
The
exposure that you will receive from Blogging is amazing. Coupled with
the viral nature of Blogs, it can really create a huge buzz around the
products you're promoting.
You can create Blogs from free blogging services like
http://www.blogger.com/ or
http://wordpress.org/
or install a Wordpress Blog on your domain.
Post unique, short (200-300 words) posts on your Blog frequently and
make a brief mention of the affiliate products you're promoting within
or at the end of your Blog posts, using your affiliate link. When
doing this, however, make sure that the post is informative. Avoid
just posting an advertisement as a Blog entry unless it's for a new
upcoming launch.
You can
find articles/Blog posts at each respective product's affiliate tools
page. Or alternatively, you can either write your own articles or
re-write PLR articles. Just be sure to find articles that are related
to the topic of the affiliate product you're promoting. For instance,
if you wish to promote Online Auctions Tips, you can write Blog posts
related to selling on eBay and just promote your affiliate link within
the Blog post.

Create a viral report
Many
affiliates make the mistake of simply hard-selling to their
prospects. But truth is, as an affiliate, the more you can give your
prospects in terms of quality and information, the more you'll earn
their trust. Hence, distributing viral reports is an excellent
pre-sell method as you're providing value to your prospects and lead
them to purchase from your affiliate link willingly.
Also, when
you provide the giveaway rights to your viral report, it could get
passed on to hundreds and thousands of other people which will mean
your affiliate links being seen & clicked!
So start
creating your viral reports today and distribute it on your Blog,
forums, social networking sites or your mailing list.
Here is
a list of e-Book directories that you can distribute your viral e-Books
to:
http://www.scribd.com
http://www.calameo.com
http://www.docstoc.com
http://www.yudu.com
http://www.issuu.com

Submit an article
Submitting
articles to the right places is one of the surest way of getting
traffic to your affiliate links. If your article gets picked up by
other publishers or the search engines, it could mean serious long
term traffic.
Start by
writing just one article (or have them ghostwritten) about a topic
that is related to the product you're promoting. Then, include a
subtle recommendation for the product within the article or inside
your resource box
Next, you need to submit your articles to various article directories.
There are hundreds of them but you don't have to submit to all of
them. Some of our personal favourite article directories include:
http://www.ezinearticles.com/
http://www.goarticles.com/
http://www.articledashboard.com/
http://www.searchwarp.com/
http://www.ideamarketers.com/
