the workhorse method

Author: glend

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

Author: glend

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

Author: glend

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

Author: glend

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

Give Away Magazines and Get Paid!

Author: glend

One of the best affiliate offer that are out there are ones that are truely free. Revresponse does this and it has worked great for me for years. So the next CPA Network up on the Interview list is the Revresponse.

1.How many offers does your network have?
900+ offers (magazines, white papers, downloads, podcasts, etc) and we’re adding more every day.

2. What is the Average Payout of all your offers?
There is no “average” we pay a minimum of $1.50 per qualified subscription and up to $20. This varies per offer.

3. What is your highest Paying offer and how much?
We don’t disclose the payouts for each offer. We prefer that our partners match the offers with their audience based on the topic not the payout. We don’t want them to chase the highest paying lead if they won’t be able to attain it. The highest payout available is around $20.

Easy Affiliate Marketing Days are over

Author: glend

Just as the post states easy affiliate marketing days are over. Now that doesn’t mean you won’t make money or that you can’t make GREAT money. It more so just means the days of starting up a campaign and going from zero to the penthouse is much harder. The system was easier to game and manipulate. Yes you still can manipulate the system and can get by with things, but to combat this google is updating their Quality Score more oftern.  I read many posts about the latest Google slap. I remained untouched due to it but that is only more so all my sites have moved to more legit sites and not the one page wonders that could make a killing of the past. 

As an Affiliate Marketer you need to:

1. Rake in the money while you can. If you have a hot offer milk it while you can. Can you do the same with a similar offer? Then do it!

2. Change and evolve… What worked last year doesn’t work… well at times things that worked 3 months ago don’t work.

3. Have a.... Read More
