Your FREE ticket to affiliate marketing success…

Posted by Brett on November 5, 2009

Turning your readers into customers should be the goal of any affiliate marketer, blogger, or online entrepreneur. With the benefits of free content being obvious and easy to spot for experienced marketers, taking the final step and moving your audience from passive readers to active and happy buyers is a process involving trust, security and hope. You need to gain the trust of your readers, which is most effectively achieved by offering innovative and important free content. Then, introduce security for your product, including guarantees and important achievements that it can help readers with. In addition, you need to highlight exactly how the product can help readers get what they want from life.

First, you’ve got to build trust. Once you’re in a position where you have a large, trusting audience behind you, you can market your products. While you can bypass trust and go straight to selling, it’s never going to be as effective as building trust beforehand, and playing into straightforward sales is a sure fire method to miss long term opportunities. With affiliate marketing all about building passive income streams, selling out for the short term is the last strategy that you want to invest your time in.

Introduce your products like you would introduce a pitch to investors. Being blatant and blunt achieves nothing but scorn from your audience, and turns what could have been a successful free to paid conversion into a disappointed and annoyed reader. Whenever you’re introducing an affiliate product, weigh up the pros and cons of each different type of introduction. For most bloggers and affiliate marketers, it’s best to go with an introduction that highlights the virtues of your product for your audience only. If your message could be copied and pasted for any other audience, it’s likely too generic and artificial to truly connect with your own.

One way to introduce readers to products without having to worry about the risk of putting their money on the line is to highlight the guarantees for your affiliate product. Instead of simply putting the product on prospective customers’ plates, you should gently place it there along with the security that a guarantee and testimonials can offer. Remember, when you personally sell something you’re putting your reputation on the line, and don’t ever devalue yourself to sell more affiliate products. Craft a sales pitch and trust building system that not only sells products, but builds your audience at the same time.

These three steps are fundamental for your success as an affiliate marketer. While it’s possible to bypass building your trusting audience, doing so distances yourself from a hugely powerful permission asset, and blocks your abilities to build long term marketing audiences. Passive income and lifestyle income are highly valuable to internet marketers, and without that permission asset it’s very difficult to achieve that level of success. By taking these steps and applying these strategies, you can make sure that your affiliate marketing success weathers any storm and continues to bring in income, year after year.

Autopilot Clickbank Income Pt. 1: Is It A Possibility?

Posted by Brett on September 9, 2009

With such a massive amount of marketers and internet entrepreneurs looking to create an online business that scales around their lifestyle, it’s becoming fundamental for even the simplest business to be able to be outsourced, automated, or optimized to the point where it requires a tiny time upkeep. While this type of business leaves out many specific business models, primarily those based around a service business, it opens big doors in many others; primarily affiliate marketing, online PPC advertising, and automated online commission businesses. If you’re an affiliate marketer looking to create an online income that requires minimal upkeep, or even no upkeep at all, then you need to make sure that your business can truly survive without you.

There are hundreds of money-making products out there promising an online income with zero upkeep and input, all competing with each other. While many can definitely offer this possibility, it’s still easy for online entrepreneurs and marketers to fall for the same old traps. Whether you make your emails an absolute priority, or focus on metrics that aren’t fundamentally important to your income, it’s easy to fall back into the habit of creating work for works sake. This should be avoided for anyone looking to create an autopilot income, as the small tasks that suck time away are often the least important in the long run.

Do an 80/20 analysis on your businesses profit centers. These questions can help you cut the poorly performing parts of your business loose, and let you focus on the most important uber-profitable aspects:

- What are you selling most?
- Who are you selling to?
- How are you selling to them?

When you’ve identified what’s selling, it’s a lot easier to eliminate the things that aren’t selling. Identify the affiliate products that are responsible for 80% of your online income, and eliminate the others. When you free yourself from the work that the others produce, you can maximise the amount of time you spend on the more profitable ones.

Still worried about losing that extra revenue? Think about things this way: How many hours worth of work do the other products produce, and how much extra revenue do they bring in?

When you actually calculate the hourly value of each product, you can make more informed decisions on whether or not they’re worth keeping. For example, an affiliate product that requires only two hours of work per week and brings in $260 in commissions, is paying you a total of $130 per hour. In contrast, an affiliate product that brings in $440 per week, and requires around 20 hours of work per week, is only bringing you $22 per hour.

If the above example proves anything to you, it’s that revenue alone can be a distracting and false metric for measuring affiliate progress. When you measure by revenue alone, you lose a massive amount of potential analysis, and often fool yourself into thinking that you’re earning more than you really are.
