Choosing A Profitable Affiliate Program

Hi,

I was looking through my email just like 15 minutes ago & I got this email about how to 'Choose A Profitable Affiliate Program' from a friend of mine. Now, Alex is good! I asked him if I can share this article with you & he agreed. Of course, you will want to check out his blog at http://www.howtospoter.com I did, & I thought it had great advices. Anyways, I won't rant on too long now. Here's Alex's article which will help you find that right affiliate program.

**********************************************************
Affiliate programs are a great way to make money online; if you choose the right affiliate program. That it why it is extremely important that you carefully choose which affiliate program or programs you want to join. When it comes to choosing an affiliate program, do you know what to look for you? If this is your first time joining an affiliate program, you are urged to keep on reading. Below are some guidelines that you may want to think about following.

Perhaps, the most important thing that you need to remember, when choosing an affiliate program, is to not pick the first affiliate program that you come across. This is a big mistake that many affiliate program participants make. Unfortunately for you, this can be a costly mistake. What many do not realize is that the product you choose to promote will reflect on you and your business. That is why it is important that you take the time to thoroughly examine an affiliate program first. You will want to choose an affiliate program that involves a product that you can stand behind, one hundred percent.

One of the best ways to know that you are dealing with a legitimate affiliate program and a quality product is to test that product out. Although you are advised to do this, you may not want to or you may be unable to do so. If that is the case, you can still research an affiliate program or even the product that is being sold. You can easily do this online. One of the best ways to do your research is to perform a standard internet search. Search with the name of the affiliate program or the product being sold. You can also check out websites that are known as scam websites. These websites tend to profile companies, individuals, or business opportunities that regularly scam consumers.

Before applying for or signing up for an affiliate program, you are advised to read all of the rules, restrictions, or guidelines associated with that affiliate program. Unfortunately, you may find yourself disqualified from an affiliate program right off the bat. For instance, there are a large number of affiliate programs that prohibit their products from being advertised on websites that display pornography, foul language, and other offensive content. Familiarizing yourself with an affiliate program's rules and guidelines will prevent you from being denied from a program or later dismissed from one.

Perhaps, one of the most important things to remember, when choosing an affiliate program, is the product that you will have to sell. In conjunction with making sure that the product is a quality one, you will also want to make sure that it is related to your website or business, in one way or another. For instance, if your own website focuses on computer programming, you will not want to join an affiliate program that sells pet products. Joining an affiliate program that is related, in one way or another, to your own website may increase your chances of making a sale; thus increasing your profits.

Although it is important to choose a quality product to stand behind, you also need to remember that your goal is to make money. One of the easiest ways to make a substantial amount of money is to choose an affiliate program that pays their affiliates decently. The average commission for affiliates is three to five percent of each sale made. While this is a good percentage to make, there are higher paying affiliate programs. You may want to look for affiliate programs that pay around ten percent. In fact, there are even a select number of affiliate programs that pay around fifteen percent in commissions.

The above mentioned guidelines are just a few of the many that you will want to take into consideration, when choosing an affiliate program. Although the above mentioned points are helpful, the most important thing to keep in mind is your judgment. Using your best judgment is the easiest way to choose an effective affiliate program.

To your success,

P.S. If carefully chosen, you could easily make a full-time living just with affiliate programs. View my 5 star recommendations here: http://www.free-secrets.org/Affiliate-Programs
*********************************************************
I hoped you enjoyed the read & made some mental notes on the way. It is hard to find an affiliate program that will fit you & your lifestyle. When you do though, you get more rewards for it!

I'm still working on a PLR project for you readers of Affiliate Mind. It will be a few weeks yet. I want it to be just perfect, so you would learn & profit from it.

To your success,

I'm back in Google land!

Hi everybody,

I have been sick with the flu & that's why I haven't been blogging lately. I hate when the flu goes around & you just have to get sick when everything seems to be falling in place.

I have something for all affiliate marketers...

"How do I find profitable affiliate programs?"

That's the burning question that everyone wantsto know, right?

And then questions that usually follow from thatsuch as:
"Which keywords will I use?""What is the best ad copy to use?

An excellent new report is out by Chris Carpenter of Google Cash, and is free by the way :-) reveals how new technology is changing all of that.

It shows you how you can actually know what affiliateprograms are actually profitable, which keywords to use,and which Ad copy to use with near scary accuracy!

These are exciting times, indeed. However, those who don't take advantage of this technology will be leftin the dust...pennyless. And those that do learn about this and take full advantage will be more profitable than ever.

Go read the report right now, before they take it down!

Affiliate Marketing - Steps to Take

Morning! It's another beautiful sunny day in Canada! :-) Around Abbotsford, BC, there is a lot of rain :( Not much of a sprinkler girl! I love the sun! Cozy & bright!

I just thought since I gave you the heads on what affiliate marketing is, I should also tell you of some sites you need to join to get the full benefit of being an affiliate marketer.

OK, first we need a place where you can collect your cash! You don't want to lose on those commissions now. You can get a Paypal &/or a Clickbank account. All you have to do is go to their site & sign up for it with a valid email address and add your details on how you would like to collect your $$$

A website is necessary so your customers can take a look at your affiliate products for more information. There are a host of websites on the web & I'll let you do the handy work there. You will also need an autoresponder so you have a place where you have all your messages on auto. You won't have to write that article 50 times, just once!

Now, for promoting your products, you have to keep up on what the web 2.0 is all about so you can take advantage of all the viral marketing. You need the 'viral' to get people to sign up on your list. All you have to do is tell a few friends & get them to tell other people. These other people tell others, you get the drift. You can get a whole bunch of subscribers this way! That's what is so great about web 2.0 The internet has changed a lot since I started marketing. If you have just started on the internet, this is an advantage for you & you should use it regularly.

The best way to market your products online is to use web 2.0 What is web 2.0? Web 2.0 is blogging, squidooing, podcasting, using myspace.com, YouTube.com. You name it! Audio & video has become very popular this past year. I recommend you use these tools to build your list. I have a myspace.com at www.myspace.com/frantech I haven't checked out YouTube yet, but I will when I'm ready.

An ezine is a very good marketing tool, but I don't use it because I think it is just a hassle to keep it brand new. That's why I use a blog. Blogging is like talking to your best friend, telling them about what you think. All you have to do is write in it regularly & have backlinks on it with RSS & atoms. Now, I'm actually reading on this RSS. It sounds like it's so technical & hard to understand it, but when you start actually doing it, it gets to be fun! Serious! You also want to social bookmark & tag your sites as you write an article on it, so you get more exposure! Just go to OnlyWire & sign up for an account.

To find a product to sell, you can find a niche anywhere on the web like travelling or losing weight. You just have to find the right one that is going to work for you! Or you can use your clickbank account as they also promote affiliate products you can sell. It is very easy to get your product running on your website. Yeah, right! You just need to know where to look for help if you are having trouble uploading a product or even just getting a product. This is why I'm here! So, if you need guidance, I'm here for you! Just remember that! Don't be shy! Leave a comment & ask me anything you are needing help in!

To your success,

Darleen

What is Affiliate Marketing?

The other day I asked a few known marketers about what they thought of my blog & to give me a serious opinion. They told me 'it's a great site, but it needs content.' I was thrilled for their opinion, much less saying I was offering too much 'offers'. I just wanted to tell you affiliate marketers what I thought was good offers that I was introduced to. I'm pretty much just learning as you are, so I'll give you more 'content'. If I never gave you any content on what affiliate marketing was, why do I have a blog?

OK, affiliate marketing is basically...well, you know what? I'm going to write a poem for you about affiliate marketing. Does that sound great? I love poetry, so here it is...

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliating products for a business in turn for a percentage of the sale
Find a niche that you have passion in & lots of interest, like a hobby
Follow your instinct when a niche doesn't have much exposure
Incoming commissions will help you expand your niche
Lots of information on your product will entice your readers
If you want to get paid, you need a clickbank &/or paypal account
As a marketer, a website; blog; & squidoo lens are recommended for promoting
Too much offers will scare your readers away
Easy cash is always hard to reach; you got to work for the money

Market to people who are also interested in what you want to sell
All the offers you see isn't what it seems
Run a business that will satisfy you & your customers
Keep testing your ads, keywords, & salespages
Extra care for the messages you send will create a bond with your customers
Take that step to ask your readers for their opinion
Internet is changing with web 2.0 technology
Neat sites tell your customers you care
Get your product & start to make a list

To your success,

He has created it with the absolute beginner in mind - no steps have been left out in his teleseminar and video training.

In fact, it is so extensive that he has several case studies of absolute beginners making close to $1,000 within their first month or two of using the system.

There is a video that I want you to watch right now that will talk about what will be going on this Monday, May 7, at 12pm EDT.

CovertLinks

Did you know that up to 40% of your affiliate sales are subject to commission theft?

Especially if you promote ClickBank products...

Well I've just spoken to my friend, Derrick (creator of the hugely successful Affiliate Cash Secrets membership site), and he's just released a brand new software product that will stop commission theft once and for all!

It's called "Covert Affiliate Links" and everyone's already going nuts over it...
=> http://covertaffiliatelinks.com/video/?darlie

I just got it installed on my server and I have to say it's an amazing piece of software.

Not only does it replace your average, ugly affiliate links with great looking personalized links, but it also cloaks your links so savvy marketers can't steal your commissions.

You simply CANNOT afford to be without this software.

It's really that simple. All I can say is, it will change the way you market affiliate programs forever!

You can download your copy here:
