Day 1

Day 1 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:

Day 2 Tutorial - Download & read me first

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.

Free Advertising Forum

Home Business Web Site Forum

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 steps for Day 4 tomorrow.

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

Alright, that's all for Day 5. Repeat the above steps for each product you wish to promote! Then take a break and move on to implementing the steps for Day 6 tomorrow.

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/

Submit to traffic exchanges

Some of the best traffic exchanges include:

Traffic Swarm

So spend some time submitting your affiliate websites to these traffic exchanges and surf other members' sites in order to earn some credits. One tip is to open multiple browsers so you can surf multiple traffic exchanges at the same time.
