Lesson #1 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

SUBJECT: Lesson #1 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Welcome to the first lesson in the Affiliate
Marketing Profits Crash Course.

Each day for the next few days you will receive a
lesson that will help you learn the ins and outs
of affiliate marketing and how you can use it to
make more profits.

In this first lesson let's talk a little about
what affiliate marketing is and some of the
things that you can do to become a wildly
successful affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing basically means that you are
marketing for other people and businesses in
exchange for a commission. The typical commission
runs between 30 and 75% with 50% being the
average.

When you first join an affiliate program you are
given an affiliate link that goes to the website
of the product owner. This special link is
encoded with your unique affiliate id and when
you send someone to the product owners site
through your special link and they make a
purchase you receive a commission. This works out
great for both you and the product owner, because
you make a nice paycheck and the product owner
makes more sales and cuts down on advertising
costs at the same time.

One of the main things that makes affiliate
marketing so great is that having or creating
your own product isn't necessary. Along with that
there is the added perks like not having to deal
with customers support, complaints or refunds.
The only thing an affiliate needs to be
successful is some basic internet marketing
skills and the desire to succeed. Don't panic if
you don't know anything about marketing online,
because there is plenty of fantastic information
available on the subject all over the internet.

I am assuming that since you are taking this
crash course that you already have some basic
knowledge under your belt, so we are going to
dive right in today and talk about some simple
tactics that affiliate marketers can use to
increase their chances of success.

First, let's talk about using unique web pages to
promote each separate product you are marketing.
It's very important not lump all of your chosen
affiliate programs together on one website just
to save some money on web hosting. It is best to
have a site or at the very least a sub domain
focusing on each and every product and nothing
more. This way you can streamline and target your
marketing efforts for better results.

Another thing you can do is to include product
reviews on the product webpages you set up, so
visitors will have an initial understanding of
what the product can do for those that buy them.
When possible collect and include testimonials
from users who have already tried the product and
add them to the webpages. This really helps
increase credibility and convert more visitors
into buyers.

Including articles that you write or with reprint
rights that highlight the uses of the product and
posting them on the website as an additional page
will also help increase your free search engine
traffic and chances of success.

Be sure to make the pages attractive, compelling
and include calls to act on the information. Each
headline should attract the readers to try and
read more, even contact you. Highlight your
special points. This will help your readers to
learn what the product is about and will make
them want to find out more. That is when they
will click on your affiliate and help you make
more commissions.

Next let's talk about collecting contact
information by offering free reports to your
prospects. This does two important thing for your
affiliate business. It allows you to further
educate your prospects and follow up with them in
the future with more information on the products
you offer.

For this to work you will need a good
autoresponder service. You will want to create a
short report and series of seven to ten
autoresponder messages that will be mailed to
people who sign up to receive your free report.

Did you know that according to research, a sale
is usually closed on the seventh contact with a
prospect? Hence the reason you will want to
create a series of follow up messages.

When you are creating your content focus on
important points like how the product can make
things easier and more enjoyable for people who
purchase it. Include compelling subject lines in
the email. As much as possible, avoid using the
word �free� because there are still older spam
filters that dumps those kind of contents into
the junk folder before anyone reads them.

Do your best to convince those who signed up for
your free report that they will be missing
something big if they don't take the time to at
least check out the product or service you're
recommending. Be sure that the content is
directed toward specific reasons to buy the
product. Don't make it sound like a sales pitch.
Keep in mind that by providing useful information
to your prospects you will increase your chances
of making a commission.

Before we end today's lesson I want to touch on
one more thing that you can do to increase your
chances of affiliate marketing success.

That is getting traffic. The kind of traffic that
is targeted to your product. Just think about it
this way, if the person who visited your website
has no interest whatsoever in what you are
offering, they will be among those who move on
and never come back.

One of the best ways to get this kind of traffic
is by writing articles for submission and
publication. A good rule of thumb it to try to
write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at
least 300-600 words in length. By continuously
writing and submitting these articles to you can
generate as many as 100 targeted prospects to
your site in a day.

That may not sound like much for all of the work
you put in but statistics show that 1 out of
every 100 people are likely to make a purchase.
If you can generate a 1,000 targeted hits for
your website in a day, that means you can make 10
sales based on the average statistic and the best
thing is that the articles will continue to work
for you even after you have moved on to another
product.

None of the tactics that we have discussed today
are very difficult to do, if you think about it,
it just requires a little time and an action plan
on your part. Once you have completed the process
for one affiliate program you can move on to the
next and you will end up with a good source of
income along with a thriving affiliate marketing
business.

We have a lot to go over in the next few days if
you want to learn how to make even more affiliate
marketing profits, so make sure you look for your
next lesson tomorrow. We will be talking about
things you should consider before you join an
affiliate program, so that you can choose the
best ones for your business.

Lesson #2 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

SUBJECT: Lesson #2 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

Hi {!firstname_fix},

It�s time for your second lesson. I hope you
found lesson one informative. Today we are going
to talk about affiliate programs and what you
should look for before joining them.

Let's jump right in and start with one of the
best ways I can think of to choose a product to
promote and that is by deciding weather or not
you are interested in purchasing the product
yourself. If that is the case, chances are, there
are many others who are also interested in it as
well.

Of course, you can't just base your decision to
promote an affiliate program on weather or not
you like the product, but it is a good place to
start. Now let's go over some other thing you
should consider.

- You will want to look for a program that is of
high quality. For instance, look for one that is
associated with many experts in that particular
industry. This way, you can be assured of the
standard of the program you will be joining.

- Look for the ones that offer real and viable
products. How do you know this? Do some initial
research. If possible, track down some of the
members and customers to give you testimonial on
the credibility of the program.

- Does the program cater to a growing target
market? This will ensure you that there will be a
continuous demand for your referrals. Do a little
research and make inquiries. If there are forums
and discussions groups related to the product
topic participate and look for reliable feedback.

- A program with a compensation plan that pays
out a residual income and a payout of 30% or more
would be a great choice. There are programs
offering this kind of compensation. You just have
to look closely for one. Don't waste your time
with programs that do not reward substantially
for your efforts.

- Be aware of any minimum quotas that you must
fulfill. Some affiliate programs impose
pre-requisites before you get your commissions.
For instance you may have to make more than a
$100.00 or make ten sales before you receive your
paycheck. If the sales target is too hard to
achieve you may want to rethink joining.

- Select programs that have plenty of pre made
tools and resources that can help you grow the
business in the shortest possible time. Not all
affiliate programs have these capacities.

- Check out weather or not the program has an
automated system that allows you to check your
referral statistics and compensation at any time.

- Does the program offer strong incentives for
customers to make additional purchases or for
members to renew their memberships. Affiliate
programs that provide continuous help and
upgrades for its products have the tendency to
retain more customers. These things can assure
the growth of your business.

Always get to know the product and program you
are considering. Knowing the kind of program you
are getting yourself into will help you
anticipate and prevent any future problems you
may encounter. Do some research and don't be
afraid to ask questions before you join.

Here are some of the questions you should ask:

- Will it cost you anything to join?

Most affiliate programs being offered today are
absolutely free of charge. So why settle for
those that charge you some dollars before joining.

- When do they issue the commission checks?

Every program is different. Some issue their
checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select
the one that is suited to your payment time
choice.

- What is the amount of commission paid?

If the program pays per sale (which are the ones
I prefer) you can expect to make anywhere from 5%
- 75% depending on the program. You will also
find programs that pay for each hit or each
impression.The amount paid for those type of
programs is not much at all, so you must be
prepared to send large volumes of traffic through
your affiliate link to make a nice paycheck.

These are just some of the questions that need
answering before you enter into an affiliate
program. You should be familiar with all of the
important aspects of your chosen program. They
can help you select the right program for your
affiliate business.

Look for another lesson tomorrow! We will be
talking about some great ways that you can
increase your affiliate commissions.

I'll talk to you then,

Lesson #3 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

SUBJECT: Lesson #3 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

Hi {!firstname_fix},

It�s time for your third lesson in the Affiliate
Marketing Profits Crash Course. I hope you
learned a lot about choosing the right affiliate
programs for your business from your last lesson.

In this lesson are going to go over some simple
ways that you can boost your affiliate
commissions. Which is always a good thing!

As we discussed in lesson one affiliate marketing
doesn't require product development, dealing with
customer support, complaints or refunds. As a
matter of fact it is one of the easiest ways of
starting an online business and earning more
profits.

Assuming that you have followed some of the steps
in lesson two and that you have already chosen
some affiliate programs that you want to promote,
what would be the next thing you would want to do?

How about double, or even triple, your
commissions as quickly as possible?

If you answered yes to that question then you
will enjoy this lesson!

I have some great tips to share with you in this
lesson that will help you boost your affiliate
commissions quickly.

The first thing you will want to decide on is
which program the ones you have chosen is the
best. Obviously, you want to promote a program
that will enable you to achieve the greatest
profits in the shortest possible time.There are
several factors to consider when selecting a
program to focus on.

Then narrow down your choices to the ones that
have a generous commission structure and that fit
in with your target audience. Check to make sure
that they have a solid track record of paying
their affiliates easily on time.

You can do that by performing a search for the
product name plus the words "affiliate payments".
If anyone is complaining that they aren't getting
paid you will find posts about the issue.

Remember there are thousands of affiliate
programs online so you can be picky. You want to
take your time and select the best so that you
can avoid wasting your time and losing your
advertising dollars.

Now let's get down to some quick tips that you
can use to increase your commissions:

- Participate in chat rooms related to the
product you're reselling. Start a conversation
with a person without trying to sell to them.
Later on, while you are chatting, mention the
product you're reselling.

- Create a free ebook with the advertisement and
link of your affiliate web site. The subject of
the free ebook should entice your target audience
to down-load it. Also submit it to some ebook
directories for even better results.

- Start your own affiliate program directory.
Join a large number of affiliate programs and
list them all in a directory format on your web
site. Then just advertise your free affiliate
program directory.

- Write your own affiliate program ads. If all
the other affiliates use the same ads you do,
that does not give you an edge over your
competition. Use a different ad to give yourself
an advantage over all the other affiliates.

- Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if
you've actually bought the product or service for
the affiliate program. Tell people what kind of
benefits and results you've received using the
product. Endorsements also increase the
credibility of the product you are promoting.

- Advertise the product you're promoting in your
signature file. Use an attention getting headline
and a good reason for them to visit your
affiliate site. Make sure your sig file doesn't
go over 5 lines. You can use this in your
outgoing emails, on forums and in blog comments.

- Participate on web discussion boards. Post your
comments, answer other people's questions, and
ask your own questions. If you can work in how
your product can help solve someone's problem all
the better for you and don't forget to include
your sig file when you post.

- Create a free newsletter build around the topic
of your chosen product. It doesn't have to be
fancy, just informative and helpful. Then use it
to advertise the affiliate programs you've
joined. Submit it to online ezine directories and
promote it on your web site.

- Use bonuses to help sell your products! Using
bonuses is one of the easiest ways to motivate
people to purchase from you. Remember, you're
often competing with many other marketers. By
offering a relevant bonus with the product you're
trying to sell, you'll help tip the prospect's
buying choice in you favor.

- Start a private web site. Use it as a free
bonus as well. Especially if people buy the
product you're promoting. You could also allow
people to join for free and then advertise your
affiliate programs inside. This does two things.
It allows you to keep in touch with your
prospects and it makes them feel as if they are
receiving extra value when they purchase form you.

- As we discussed in lesson one use product
reviews and testimonials. They are one of the
best methods to help make a sale. That's why you
will see so many testimonials on a sales page.
Take your time and write intelligent product
reviews of the products you are marketing and
collect testimonials from the people who purchase
from you.

- Use a blog to provide useful information in
your niche and include your well written product
recommendations. When you post regularly you'll
be able to start generating a steady stream of
traffic and sales from the search engines. Just
be sure to keep your blog focused on good
keywords that relate to the products you are
promoting.

- Build a list of prospects. The easiest way of
doing this is by providing an email opt-in on
your website. Ideally, create a system where you
offer a bonus if the visitor joins your list. Use
a good autoresponder system like Getresponse to
collect email address and load a series of 7-10
emails with useful information and free
resources. As time goes by your readers will find
your information useful and you will be able to
convert them in to paying customers.

Give some of these strategies a try. I don't
recommend trying all of them at the same time.
Just focus on two or three at first and see the
difference it can make to your commission checks.

Look for another lesson tomorrow! We will be
going over some common mistakes that affiliate
marketers make so that you can avoid making them.

Until then,

Lesson #4 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

SUBJECT: Lesson #4 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

Hi {!firstname_fix},

I hope you got some great ideas on how you can
increase your affiliate commissions from your
lesson yesterday.

Today let's talk about how you can avoid some of
the common mistakes that many affiliate marketers
make without even realizing that they are
damaging their business.

Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective
and powerful ways of earning an income online.
It's the way that I started my business many
years ago and it has worked out great for me. It
can be the same for you especially if you avoid
common mistakes that can hurt your chances of
success.

Like all businesses, there are lots of pitfalls
in the affiliate marketing business. Some of the
most common mistakes can end up costing you a
large portion of the profits you make and you may
not even realize it's happening. That is why it
is better to avoid these mistakes from the start.

Mistake #1: Choosing the wrong affiliate programs.

We talked a lot about choosing the right
affiliate programs in lesson two now let's find
out why it's so important to your business that
you don't choose the wrong programs to promote.

You see, many people want to earn from affiliate
marketing as fast as possible and I can't blame
them. Who doesn't like quick cash. But, in their
rush they tend to choose what I like to call a
bandwagon product. They choose this product
because they think it is in demand without
actually considering if the product appeals to
them or their prospects.

This isn't a very wise move and could end up
hurting your business in the long run. Especially
if you end up losing the confidence of your
readers and customers by promoting products to
them that they aren't interested in.

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, try to
choose a product that you and your prospects are
truly interested in. Take the extra time to plan
your actions and do some research about that
product to see if it is in demand.

A quick way to find out if a product is in demand
is to do a quick Google search for the product
and see if anyone else is promoting it. If you
see several Google ads on the side of the search
results page you can be fairly sure that there is
a good market for the product. On the other hand
if there very few or no ads for the product then
you may want to drop that product and move on.

On a side note if there are too many ads for the
product then your competition will be pretty
stiff and you may want to reconsider promoting
it. But market research is an entirely different
subject than what we are discussing in this short
course, so we will move.

Mistake #2: Joining too many affiliate programs.

Since affiliate programs are very easy to join,
you might be tempted to join multiple affiliate
programs thinking it will help you maximize your
earnings. On some level this seems to make Spence
because what do you have to lose by joining every
program you come across.

While the idea of having multiple sources of
income is a great one, joining multiple programs
and attempting to promote them all at once will
only hurt your chances of success. Simply because
you will lose focus and it will prevent you from
concentrating on the programs that will make you
the most money.

It is far better to focus your efforts on a
select few than to try and stretch yourself to
thin promoting every program you can find in
hopes one of them will hit the mother load.

The best way in my humble opinion to get the
results you want is by joining one program at a
time. Ideally one that pays a 50% or more
commission per sale. Then focus your attention on
it until you see that it is making a reasonable
profit, then join another affiliate program,
preferably one related to the first one and
repeat the process until you have a whole network
of related products making you money.

The technique may take a little more time and
effort on your part, but what you will end up
with is a solid foundation for your growing
business and that is well worth the effort.

Mistake #3: Not buying the product or service you
are promoting.

As an affiliate, your main goal is to effectively
and convincingly promote a product or service and
to find people willing to purchase it through
your affiliate link. For you to achieve this
goal, you must be able to relay to your
prospective customers the main benefits of that
product or service. This is very difficult to do
when you haven't tried the product yourself.

While you may still have success promoting
products that you haven't personally used or at
least reviewed, you will never reach it's maximum
income potential unless you can honestly and
convincingly recommend it.

So, try the product or service personally first
before you sign up as an affiliate to see if it's
really delivering what it promises. If you do,
then you will be well aware of its advantages and
disadvantages. Your prospective customers will
then feel the sincerity and truthfulness in your
review of the product and this will help
encourage them to try it out for themselves.

There you have it. The three most common mistakes
that many affiliate marketers make. Now you can
do your best to avoid making the same mistakes.

Remember time is the key. Take the time to
analyze your chosen affiliate programs. Get a
system in place for promoting them and then you
will be able to maximize your affiliate earning
and build a solid foundation for your business.

I'd love to hear from you! Please let me know if
you have any questions and don't forget to look
out for your next lesson. We will be talking
about some basic techniques that you can use to
drive traffic through your affiliate links for
maximum profits.

Lesson #5 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

SUBJECT: Lesson #5 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

Hi {!firstname_fix},

I hope that you have now know how to avoid some
of the more common mistakes that affiliate
marketers make and that you are ready to dive in
to today's lesson.

Today I want to share with you some basic
techniques that you can use to drive traffic
through your affiliate links for maximum profits.

These are very easy techniques to implement, but
don't let that fool you! All of the methods we
are going to discuss today are road tested and
with a little bit of effort on your part they
will bring you all the traffic you need to run a
successful affiliate marketing business.

Let's start with article writing. We have touched
base on the importance of using articles to
promote your affiliate programs earlier in this
course, but we have to talk about it again
because it is one of the best techniques that you
can use to get the traffic through your affiliate
links.

All you have to do is write informative content
about your product or topic and include a link to
your site or in some cases directly to your
affiliate link in your authors bio box. Then
submit your articles to popular directories like
ezinearticles.com, articlecity.com or
goarticles.com. There are many more, but these
are a good place to start.

TIP: Be sure to check the directories terms of
service before you submit articles with affiliate
links. Some directories frown on this and in that
case all you have to do is set up a page on your
own website or blog and send your reader their
first.

People, including newsletter publishers and
webmasters will be able to find and use the
articles that you've submitted and every time
they do you will expose them to your links, which
means long- term traffic for you along with some
other side benefits like better search engine
rankings and becoming known as an expert in your
chosen topic.

- Next, let's talk about using blogs to drive
traffic through your affiliate links.

Blogs are very easy to make which makes them
perfect for promoting affiliate programs. Another
great thing about using a blog is that the search
engines, like Google love them and will regularly
come by to index your postings. For this method
to be effective you must post to your blog on a
regular basis and be sure that you are
strategically putting relevant keywords in your
posts.

If done correctly your search engine ranking will
score high and you will receive highly targeted
free traffic to your blog that you can then send
through your affiliate links.

- Now let's talk about using online forums to
drive traffic through your affiliate links.

This is pretty straight forward. You visit online
forums related to your product or topic and post
some of your thoughts, ideas or ask questions on
them. For this to work well you will want to take
some time to write an attention getting signature
line and don't forget to spend some time filling
out your forum profile. Be sure to include your
links in both. Then every time you make a post
readers will be exposed to your offer.

The more helpful and informative you are the more
you will get noticed by other members and the
more people will click on you links to see what
you are up to. Another great thing about using
forums as a way to get traffic is that the posts
often rank well in the search engines which we
know is a good thing!

- Publishing a newsletter is another great way to
drive traffic through your affiliate links.

After all people like to be kept informed.
Publishing a free newsletter will help you give
your prospects what they want, which is more
information about your topic. Do you best to keep
you content tightly focused and include your
articles, product reviews and recommendations
along with links to your chosen affiliate
programs.

Try to publish your newsletter on a regular
schedule. Once every two weeks is a good rule of
thumb and it will be a great source of traffic to
your affiliate programs.

- Advertising in related ezines or newsletters is
also a great way to drive traffic through your
affiliate links.

Contact ezine/newsletters publishers that are
related to but not in direct competition with the
product or service that you want to promote and
purchase or even trade some ad space with them.

Some times they will have their rates posted on
their websites, but that doesn't mean that you
can't try to negotiate a better rate, especially
if you are just looking to run a small test ad.
If you have you own list of subscribers you can
often work out a trade or ad swap where they will
run your ad in exchange for you running their ad
in your publication. This can work out great for
both of you and save you money at the same time.

- Last but not least let's talk about using PPC
advertising to drive traffic through your
affiliate links.

Pay Per Click advertising can be a very
cost-effective way to get targeted traffic
through your affiliate links when you know what
you are doing. This technique has more of a
learning curve than the other methods we have
discussed in this lesson, but it can also yield
the fastest results when done properly.

The basis behind pay per click advertising is
pretty simple. Search engine such as Google or
Yahoo will allow you to purchase advertising on a
pay per bid basis. You get to choose how much you
want to pay for a specific keyword. The higher
bid, the higher your ad will rank on the search
engine results page. If done right you can often
get good keyword clicks for as little a 3 cents
per click and that is what makes it a great
option for fast results.

The downside to pay per click advertising is that
it can cost you a lot of money, if you're not
generating any leads or sales. That is why I
recommend that you take the time to learn as mush
as possible before you invest a lot of money in a
PPC campaign

So there you have it, some great and inexpensive
ways to generate traffic through your affiliate
links. As with any form of advertising and
traffic generation take you time and test each of
the methods until you find the one that works the
best for you.

That's it for today's lesson.

In tomorrows lesson we will be talking about how
you can protect your affiliate links and keep
your commissions from being stolen right out from
under you.

Lesson #6 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

SUBJECT: Lesson #6 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

Hi {!firstname_fix},

How are you? Well we are winding down to the end
of this crash course, but before I send you out
on your own to make loads of affiliate cash we
still need to go over a few things.

Like how you can protect your affiliate links and
keep your hard earned commissions from being
stolen right out from under you.

The simple fact is that as more people become
aware of affiliate marketing and the links that
represent your "paycheck," the greater the
chances are that someone is going to hijack your
affiliate link and substitute their own for it.
They can completely cut you out of your hard
earned commission.

There many ways that affiliate commissions can be
stolen!

You may not know this, but there is adware,
spyware and other invasive software programs that
unscrupulous hijackers install on your computer,
sometimes with your consent because they sneak it
in with something that you think is harmless.
This software is capable of replacing genuine
affiliate links and cookies. By substituting
their own data instead of the legitimate
affiliate marketers data the honest business
person misses out on the sale.

The problem is that this sinister software
automatically rewrites the affiliate links on the
pages you visit. For example, lets say you read a
great book review on a legitimate webpage and
decide to click through and make a purchase,
thinking that you are buying from the person who
recommended the book, but instead you end up
unknowingly buying from a thief. They get the
cash and the legitimate marketer (you) does all
the work.

How can you keep this from happening to you?

There are different ways that you can go about
disguising, cloaking or redirecting your links so
that you can protect your affiliate id and your
commissions. Today we are going to briefly go
over some of them, but before we do I want to
make you aware that you should always check with
the affiliate manager of the product you are
promoting before you decide to cloak your links
because it can sometimes interfere with your
affiliate cookies and some programs do not allow
it.

With that said let's start by taking a look at
free services that will cloak your link for you,
like TinyURL, Budurl, SnipURL and others, which
serve the dual purpose of hiding your ID and
shortening your very long, ugly affiliate link
into a much more manageable one.

These are great and can come in very handy,
especially for those that aren't knowledgeable or
comfortable using html, php or java script codes.

They are very simple to use. All you do is plug
in your affiliate link, click a button and out
comes a nice, new short url that you can share in
your all of your promotions without worrying that
the URL will break and become unclickable or that
your affiliate commissions be hijacked.

There are literally hundreds of these link
shortening services out there. Some very simple
like TinyURL which creates links that will never
ever expire and a handy browser bookmark button
that'll provide a TinyURL of your current page.
Then there are some that offer much more. For
instance Budurl not only cloaks and shortens your
link it also allows you the option of adding you
own custom alias and provides you with a whole
suite of tools that makes keeping track of your
links and how many times that have been clicked
on amazingly simple. This is great for testing
your ad copy.

Some argue that using one of these services can
be bad for your business simply because your
prospects may be reluctant to click on a link
that they don't recognize as yours or one where
they can't quickly identify their destination.
While there maybe some truth to this, I feel that
it is better than using nothing at all until you
can decide on a method that works well for you.

Now let's talk about scripts, codes and software
that you can use to protect your affiliate links.

There are many different types of software as
well as various scripts, php and html codes that
you can use to protect your links and track the
click-troughs on them. If you go to Google, MSN
or your favorite search engine and do a search
for link cloaking or link redirection and you
will literally find thousand of pages on the
different types of cloaking software, scripts and
codes that you can use.

One of the benefits of using one of these is that
most of them will never display the affiliate
links directly in the browser and they will give
you greater control over how your customer views
you links.

As I mentioned there are so many available that
there is no way that I could cover them all in
the span of this short course, but what I can do
is tell you about another great way that you can
safely redirect your links and protect them at
the same time and that is by buying a domain name
and using it to forward your affiliate link.

While this may not be practical or cost effective
for every affiliate program that you join,
especially in the testing phase it is a great
solution for promoting programs that you have
found to be profitable.

For this to work you simply purchase and park a
domain and then forward it to an existing
website. When visitors go to the domain you
forwarded, they are automatically taken to the
URL you specified. In this case through your
affiliate link to the product you are promoting.

For instance, let's say that you are promoting a
great set golf clubs and you know that it's a
good money maker. You could then purchase a
related domain name like "awesome" and then using
the tools that you will find inside the control
panel of your "Domain Manager" you can easily
forward your new domain directly to the sales
page for that program.

You can also add masking to your forwarded
domains, which prevents your affiliate URL from
displaying in the browser's address bar. If you
set up masking, you can specify a title and meta
tags which could help with ranking your webpages
on search engines.

Not only does this help protect your affiliate
commissions it also gives you a very professional
looking and easy to identify link to use in your
promotions it will also give you more credibility.

I hope today's lesson was helpful to you and that
you are now armed with enough information, so
that you can go out and do your on research on
the topic and find the solution that will work
the best for your affiliate marketing business.

Don't forget to look out for your final lesson
tomorrow. There will be some great information in
it on how you can increase your affiliate
commissions even more using video.

Lesson #7 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

SUBJECT: Lesson #7 of 7 - Affiliate Marketing Profits

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Well, we have come to the final lesson in the
Affiliate Marketing Profits Crash Course. For
this last lesson we are going to talk about a
more advanced method that you can use to increase
your affiliate commissions and that is by using
videos.

Let's face the facts. Video is HOT!

Being able to give your customers something they
can actually see and hear can literally explode
your online sales instantly. There is nothing
else that comes close to the effectiveness and
persuasion power of a well designed video
message. You see it everywhere and now it has
become the medium of choice for many marketers
including affiliate marketers.

After all what better way to wow your prospects
and customers than to record and publish top
notch, streaming videos. When done right this
technique will have your customers jumping up and
down with excitement to buy the products you are
promoting right away.

Believe it or not you don't need extensive
training, expensive equipment or software make
this work for you. Anyone (even you) can create
stunning videos. You can start out with brief
introductions and simple product reviews or go
all out with site tours, tutorials and
step-by-step presentations.

As with any marketing method there are many ways
that you can accomplish your goals and create
great videos that your viewers will love.

But for this lesson we are going to focus on
making screen capture videos with a software
called Camtasia. Now Camtasia isn't a free
software but you can download a fully functional
trial version of the software at no cost here:
http://www.techsmith.com/

The screen capture process is a lot like having
your customers seated next to you and looking at
your desktop, as you show them all of the great
things that the product you are promoting has to
offer.

Camtasia has many great features that make the
process as painless as possible. It allows you to
record your desktop activity in a single click.
You can then use it to easily convert your videos
into web pages and a variety of other formats for
easy sharing.

There are other things you can do with Camtasia
as well. Like redirecting your viewers straight
to your affiliate website after they are finished
watching the video or putting your url at the end
and sending them there if they want more
information.

Not to mention all of the free traffic you can
get by uploading your videos to video sharing
sites like Youtube and Google Video. I know many
affiliates who use nothing but video to promote
their chosen affiliate programs and make huge
commission checks in the process.

Using videos can do so many great things for your
affiliate marketing business. It can help
minimize miscommunications with your customers.
By instantly showing them what they want and
helping them clearly understand the product you
are representing it will help reduce refunds and
other common customer issues that may arise.

Another good thing about using video is that
there isn't too much that can go wrong. You don't
have to worry about misspelled words or graphics
not showing up when they are supposed to and the
chances of your affiliate links being hijacked
are almost non existent. Once you have a great
video in place it is there all the time ready to
visually show your prospects what you have to
offer.

If you aren't using video to promote your
affiliate programs I highly recommend you give it
a try and while there are other software programs
like Windows Movie Maker that you can use to
accomplish the task you may want to check out
Camtasia simply because they have a wide variety
of easy to follow training videos that will help
you learn everything you need to know about
creating your own videos.

Well, we've come to the end of the Affiliate
Marketing Crash Course. I sure hope you have
learned a lot from your lessons and that you are
ready to take the affiliate marketing world by
storm! Remember if you ever have any questions I
am here to help.

I wish you the best of luck with your affiliate
marketing business!

Use Banners And Images!

Banners are most effective next to text and articles and can be added as a sidebar widget on your blog! You'll also get high click-throughs when placed on thank-you pages, download pages and anywhere else in a sequence of events. Try to avoid placing too many banners on one page as it will distract and put off your visitors. If you want to promote several products, use a banner rotator tool.
