Introduction

One problem that affiliates always seem to have is that they want a “fool
proof” way to make money - one that will allow them to quit their job and
make a full-time living from affiliate marketing. Does that sound familiar?
Well, if that sounds like you, I have a question for you: how bad do you want
it? Because, I have exactly what you are looking for, but it involves a bit of
grunt work. So, how bad do you want it?

Hold that thought…

Just imagine for a second… waking up at 11am for a relaxed brunch, and
banking over $100 in near passive income everyday. It sounds great, doesn’t
it? Well, I do it every single day of my life, and I can tell you it is utterly
incredible (I am pretty vindictive and I love to find a breakfast bar near a train
station and sit down at about 9am checking my e-mails while I watch everyone
scurry to work).

Why do I brin.... Read More

the affiliate diary

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

One way to make piles and piles of cash is with an opt-in list. I remember a
talk I had with a friend who was pretty short term about the returns he wanted
from affiliate marketing – “I don’t care about having an asset, I am just
interested in the immediate returns for minimal effort”.

Hmmm…

And so it is for 90% of people out there. But, at the same time, a lot of the
money is really in the list. And a lot of short-term money is in the promotions
that you can cue up from day one. The idea is simple; someone signs up to one
of your mailing lists, and gets 10 e-mails recommending a few different
products within the first month. At some point in the chain, they make a
purchase (by day 30 they have been hit by so many different sales letter
techniques, and so many pre-sells, that they have to admit defeat and
purchase at some point!).

Most affiliates have issues with setting up an auto responder, and.... Read More

the leech: the art of the pre-sell

PART 2 - THE PROJECT X METHODS

Now that we have covered the basics, let’s move onto the “meat and potatoes”
of the Project X manual – the actual techniques themselves.
I am not going to waffle on – I will save that for the other “filler” books on the
market. Once more, let’s dive right into the first method – and one of my
favourites…

METHOD # 1: THE “LEECH”: THE ART OF THE PRE-SELL

One very effective way to generate great income as an affiliate is to pre-sell a
product and then send the visitor to the merchant’s site feeling that they are
ready to buy. Of course, as with anything, there is a right way to pre-sell and a
wrong way.

It should come as no surprise to you that 99% of affiliates get it wrong. And
you should a.... Read More

The basics – a quick summary

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

What Project X isn’t

Firstly, be aware: Project X is not an exhaustive “welcome to affiliate
marketing” manual. I explain what you need to know, but I don’t spend 300
pages waffling about the basics. A large part of the manual is focused on the
actual methods you need to make money – with a bit of background thrown in
here and there. All the information you need (whether beginner or pro) is
here, but not a drop more. Time is money, so let’s get going…

A bit about affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is: the promotion of products by third parties in exchange
for a commission / cut of the sale.

To explain with an example, let’s say I am selling an e-book called “Project X”
and I want to increase my sales by getting affiliates to market my product. I
decide to list Project X on ClickBank, an established affiliate network that I
will return to later. One day you are browsi.... Read More

PART 1 –WELCOME… TO PROJECT X

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Introduction – how you got here, what went before

Welcome to the Project X manual. This is the book I never expected to write…
A little over a year ago, I got started in Internet marketing, and – seemingly
like everyone else – I started off with affiliate marketing. I knew there was
money to be made, but I just could not seem to get it working. Failure begets
failure, and pretty soon I was on a losing streak. None of my promotions
worked, and the sales didn’t seem to come. It wasn’t easy, and it got worse…

Then, I stumbled onto a few successful techniques – which in turn made many
of my campaigns profitable. Just a few techniques was all it took. This gave
me the confidence to experiment and uncover new methods. Pretty soon, I
was making a good income from my affiliate marketing methods – and within
a few months I became a self-employed affiliate.

My core area of competence was.... Read More

How to Make Money Overnight with Craigslist

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

A Pay per Lead Ad (the advertising term for this is CPA, or Cost Per 
Action) is similar to Adsense, except that the customer must enter their email, or 
sometimes complete a form (such as zip code, name, phone number etc). 
Sometimes they may have to fill out a small survey, or get a car insurance quote 
and often will need to complete a free trial. 

You may be thinking that it would just be easier to use Adsense; after all, it’s just 
a click. It’s not unusual to be paid well over $3 dollars per every sign up with 
some of these programs! While it is a little harder to get your customer to follow 
through with everything, the profits are undeniable. 

If you haven’t heard of craigslist, you can check it out at www.craigslist.com. 
Craigslist is a gigantic list of Classified Advertisements, very similar to the ones 
you see in the back of many newspapers.&nbs.... Read More
