Explode Your Income Using Article Marketing To Profit From Affiliate Programs

ViralEbookExplosion

Fast Intro:

This is a quick guide on how you can earn a full time income with affiliate programs without even a web site. This is so simple, it’s stupid, yet so many affiliates keep failing. You have to use article marketing.

Most money from affiliate programs is earned by sending large volumes of traffic to the sales page through your affiliate links. The number one method of getting volume is by creating that volume. Article marketing is how the top earners are creating this traffic and contiually outranking those who do not constantly post articles containing their affiliate links.

The biggest reason why I failed when I first started online was because I complicated things. I tried to create huge web sites filled with content, and it just didn’t work because I lost my motivation. All I had to do was use that content a different way – Article Marketing.

Once I repurposed the content intended for my website and began using that same content as article post, the volume of traffic through my affiliate links exploded. And so did my earnings.

With this guide, all you have to do is create a free autoresponder series, then advertise it directly with ezines and other simple methods that I will show you.

Select 3 Affiliate Programs

To make this work and not be a one hit wonder, you will need to select THREE affiliate programs to join. The criteria to select these programs is a little different then going out and selecting the affiliate program with the biggest commission, even though this does play a role.

Of course, all the affiliate programs you promote will have to be on the one subject. For instance, say your first affiliate program is an ebook on Mini Sites, then your second affiliate program you sell could be a members only site based on Mini Sites and your third affiliate program could be a service where someone creates a network of Mini Sites for your customers. I will talk more about this later, and how the pricing is crucial.

The first affiliate program you promote will want to be one which pays a larger then normal commission on the first sale. Do not accept anything less then 40% commission for your first affiliate program. The reason for this is because we want to make a profit on the first affiliate program and by selling any product that does not make you at least $20 per sale you will not profit straight away. The main aim of this is to really build up your Opt-in Mailing list. If you break even, don’t be discouraged. Breaking even is an amazing result, and if you have built your list up, then you will be profiting for years to come.

So for your first affiliate program, choose a product that sells for around $40 to $50 and where you still get at least 40% of the total profits.Your second affiliate program you join will be in the category of what we call “Residual Income”.

This is an affiliate program that pays you every month someone stays signed up for their product or service. For example, if you were to promote a web hosting company, and they charged $25 a month, you would get around $10 a month for as long as that person stays signed up for web hosting. Terry Dean believes this is the closest way to earning a secure pay check every month. These are great programs to promote because all they require is a little hard work up front and you’re set for months, even years. That’s why I recommend promoting this type of program once you have a large list of names to email to. Of course you will still be promoting your free course to other people, but this is a way to make back end sales from your current list. Don’t think if you’ve advertised to these people once, that’s all they are good for. I will talk more about this later in the book You can find a large list of Residual Income affiliate programs at

LifeTimeCommissions.com. This is run by Allan Gardyne (You will hear a lot about that name in this book)

Now your third affiliate program will also be a program that you will promote to your current subscriber list. This program should pay you a large lump sum of money. This type of program will have a lower conversion rate, but you should be making $80 to $150 commission per sale.

Remember: How much you earn depends on how many people ‘travel’ through your links. Email series, ezine ads, article directory submissions… this all makes for effective Article Marketing.

Goals, Dreams and Hopes – Where Do You Begin? Start Writing

Goals, Dreams and Hopes – Where Do You Begin? Start Writing
By Linda A. Perry

What kinds of articles do you appreciate reading and what moves you the most when it comes to inspiration and knowledge? We are all different in this world. There are no two individuals completely alike. And that is proven by so many scientists who have tested and re-tested twins. Yes even twins are not alike in every single way. So, that is why your writing is unique. You have a unique brain, therefore your writing is unique also. What a wonderful world we live in to have so many wonderful people, all with different brains and different experiences who are able to access this website and to make their opinions known to all of us.

Have you ever read any writing that has brought you to tears? Have you ever read any book or article that has brought you to immediate action or at least to the thought of taking immediate action. Now, that is real writing. When you experience those two things, you have experienced the effect of a writer that tells the truth, tells about life the way it is and has no hesitation about being themselves. Hopefully, before you read any further articles on the net, you will find here many articles, perhaps hundreds that will change your ideas, change your thinking or that will get your thinking –and your projects into quick action.

Inspirational writing rocks. We, all of us, human beings in this world , have at one time or another experienced inspirational writing that has brought us to action. And that is somewhat what I try to achieve when I write. So, you say, my writing does not sound inspirational or wise even? That is okay for you to think that. For what I am thinking about is ALL of my writring, not just my writing at this particular website. So, all in all, when I think about every little word that I write and about my own websites, I can honestly say that I strive to influence people.

So why do you write? Ask yourself that question and then you will find your directions and your goals . Our goals often come out when we write. It is kind of silly or kind of strange, but writing is a way that we can remind ourselves of things and also a way that we can communicate positive things to ourselves perhaps when the outside world is trying to influence us in other directions. Perhaps we want to go in another direction but the world, and society have their own idea of what our importance in this world should be. I say go with your gut instinct. That is it. Listen to yourself and no matter what you write, it probably will be inspirational and goal-setting. Thank you for taking the time to read here.
