5 Tips on How to Skyrocket Your Top Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs are one of the most interesting ways that internet marketers go about making money on the web. There are so many different ways that one can go about maintaining and organizing their affiliate programs and the truth is that they will not always be successful. Why is that? The truth is that many people jump into managing affiliate programs without really knowing what they are doing or how to go about organizing things so that they can be successful. It isn't difficult to find success in affiliate marketing, if you know just what it is that you are doing. If you are having trouble with your top affiliate programs and you need information on how to boost the amount of success you are having with them, you have certainly come to the right place. Here are a few tips on how to skyrocket your affiliate program and ensure that you will see as much success as humanly possible. It is not difficult, either; it is a simple five-step process that can lead you down the path of affiliate program success.

1. Give Them Something They Want…For FREE
Every person out there wants something for free. They don't care what it is or how useful it is, they just want whatever you have to offer them at a supposed loss to you. For some reason, offering things for 'free; boosts your credibility and actually makes them want to listen, and this is especially important when it comes to internet marketing. If you want to get their attention, start out by giving them a FREE informational mini-course as related to your affiliate program subject. If your niche is real estate, send out a mini-course on real estate successes and pitfalls and give them something to entice them and make them want more of what you have to offer. While you don't have to go broke on your free item, you want to make sure that it is something that is going to be of value to your customer; they will know the difference.

2. Create a Capture Page
Creating a capture page goes hand in hand with your free giveaway item. The capture page can be the way that they make themselves entitled to their free giveaway item. You may not think so, but the capture page is how you are going to get all your leads, and if you don't make the capture page efficient and effective you could be giving away free mini-courses for nothing, not even in exchange for a nice informational lead. Make things easier on yourself and make the capture page and ensure that they have to fill out their info before receiving what you have to offer. This is important, especially for your top affiliate programs. Don't forget to make it enticing!

3. Advertise, Advertise, Advertise
Internet marketers have grossly underestimated the power of real advertisement. A top affiliate program is much like a regular business and no business has ever been successful without advertisement! If you want to have the best feedback and success, you need to get your information out there. There are many ways to advertise; use your imagination!

4. Build a Relationship and Follow Up With Your Prospects
The next thing you want to do after you have given them something captured their info and sent out advertisements is to build a rapport with your subscription base. You have their information; this means that they are at least halfway interested in what you have to say. Build a relationship with them; send out emails about what is going on with you (business-wise) and what new things you have to offer. Make yourself available and let them know that they can come to you. It is a very important part of any affiliate marketing program; if they don't trust you at least a little bit there is no way they are giving you a dime.

5. Make Them BUY!
After you have gone through the previous four steps, the only logical thing is to make them buy. You won't get a sale if you don't ask for it. Find ways to draw them in and then try to sell them. They may say no at first, but if you are diligent in your search time will prove that your top affiliate programs have skyrocketed their successes through the roof!

The Key To Your Success

The key to living is growing and learning. The day you stop those two things is the day that you start dying. Ask yourself right now, am I moving forward or am I stagnant? Right now, right here you are going to learn how to take the necessary actions that you must take in order to have the life that you are dreaming of. It is time for you to live a fulfilled life!

There are hundreds if not thousands of people right now, just like you, trying to find a way to make money on the internet. Scrolling through page upon page of different programs all offering to make you big and rich tomorrow for a nominal fee today. The bottom line is this, with the rare exceptions out there, in order to make money online you need to learn and stick with the fundamentals.

I have a friend who loves to coach. His passion for athletics and his children has made him the coach of four different sports teams, all in different sports, football, baseball, soccer, and basketball. The results he gets with each of his teams is remarkable. It was him that reminded me of this very valuable lesson.

My friend was recruited to coach of the 8th grade football team at the school that his children attended. The school was plagued with 27 season long losing streak. The very first year my friend was the head coach that 8th grade football team won the district championship and they did it again the following year. Last weekend he coached 12 different games and you know what, he won each one of them. No one can question this guy’s dedication.

Here is the really interesting thing. My friend and all the kids he coaches are not hung up on winning a game. If they lose they still feel as good about themselves as they would if they won. See, there focus is not on the end results as much as it is on the process, or the way they played the game. How well did they live up to their potential.

Of course, I am sure what is on your mind is the same thing that is on everyone’s mind, how does my friend’s teams continually perform on such high levels and beat just about everyone they play against, even when they are smaller and younger then their competitors. Seeing as how he is my friend, I asked him, and what he told me is this, “It’s all in the fundamentals.”

His practices all consist of helping the kids keep a positive mindset and practicing the fundamentals. He never has his teams scrimmage or strategize about upcoming games during practice. All they do is work on fundamentals of the sport they are playing, and they do this more then any other team they are going to go up against. Constantly practicing and improving the fundamentals is how his teams progress faster then their competitors. When other teams are getting caught up in winning through strength and strategy, my friend’s teams are just so good with the basics that they blow everyone else out of the water.

So this got me thinking about my own internet business and why it is that I have been able to succeed on such a high level when others around me have failed. The answer I came up with isn’t that surprising.

When most people are trying to build an online home based business they are doing it by looking for a quick fix. They want whatever they are doing to work NOW, they want instant success. This mentality then makes them prey to all of those business opportunities out there that promise that they will get rich overnight. They also fall victim to all of the advertising scams out there that say they will deliver thousands of prospects to their site in the next 24 hours. Let me tell you something right now, these programs are only designed to steal your hard earned money. Why are they still out there then? Simple, when people are desperate and they are out there looking for answers to make their situations better they are looking for something instant, and this makes them easy to be taken advantage of. This also makes their chances for internet success slim to none.

Now, there are thousands of business opportunities on the internet, and there are even more ways to advertise and promote your website. What I personally do is practice the fundamentals. What this means is that I stick with the business opportunities that I joined for the long haul and promoting my website consistently with simple, easily maintained and affordable internet marketing techniques.

As a matter of fact, on the techniques that works best for me is writing articles, much like this one and then I get them published on other people’s websites through an article syndication tool and software that can be found online.

The articles that I write and then get published on other’s website by using powerful tools like what I mentioned above makes it possible for me to get my name and website address in front of thousands of people without paying a single cent for advertising. Now, the key to this technique is that I have to write and distribute the articles consistently. This is one of those fundamentals that will only cost you time and effort. The sad truth is, it is this time and effort that many people are unwilling to pay. These people would rather shell out hundreds and thousands of dollars before they are willing to do a little work.

Now, putting in this little amount of time and effort will set you apart from the pack. See all you have to do is be willing to follow and practice the fundamentals of your business on a consistent and faithful basis you will become successful, and successful at a very high level. However, if you can’t or more to the point, if you won’t and all you are interested in is finding that quick fix… you have already lost the game before you ever set foot on the field.

Even the pros, like myself, have to practice the fundamentals every day. As a matter of fact, practicing the fundamentals is what makes pros pros. The very moment that I stop practicing the fundamentals will be the exact moment that I am no longer a pro. So right now, as you are standing in the locker room… it is time for you to make a commitment to yourself and to your business that you are going to stick with the fundamentals and win the game.

Drafting A Successful Affiliate Marketing Merchant Network Sales Pitch

The vital part of a business presentation is the sales. There is no other aspect of the meeting that will carry as much weight as the pitch; no amount of ambiance, product samples, glossy brochures, or witty jokes during the meet and greet session will hide the fact that either your sales pitch was heavy handed, contrived, or so weak that it was hard to notice when it started or ended. Drafting a successful affiliate marketing merchant network sales pitch takes a bit of time, effort, and practice, but it is well worth the investment of some practice time!

For example, did you know that prior to being able to draft such a pitch you will need to be crystal clear on your desired outcome? Many a presenter mistakes a broadly defined goal as the desired outcome, but there is a world of difference between the two. The goal may be defined as turning a lead into either a distributor or a buyer, but the outcome needs to be more closely defined by also including the responses within your listeners you are seeking to evoke. Do you want them feel stirred into action because of strong emotions or do you want them to feel guilt about not taking their business vision to the next level of profitability and thus act out of that emotion? Do you want to play to their gender (as in “are you man enough” or “be the woman they hear roar”) or do you want to shake them by using their age ranges? Only a well defined outcome will permit you to start the draft of that successful affiliate marketing merchant network sales pitch you desire to write.

Practice your pitch without notes. There is nothing more confidence destroying than a presenter who continuously has to refer back to notes and papers. Memorize every scrap of information and wow the audience by making it to the podium without any visible notes. Heading an affiliate marketing merchant network sales meeting will require your hearers to have not only the utmost confidence in you but also in the material. Since the majority of the meeting will be the delivery of the material, you become closely intertwined with it and thus if you look good, confident, able, and desirable, so will your pitch.

Last but not least, do not get lost in the minutiae. It is so tempting to embellish your affiliate marketing merchant network sales presentation with illustrations and anecdotes and while these most certainly have a place in your pitch, keep in mind that it takes a skilled presenter to include them while at the same time keeping the train of thought moving unerringly in the direction in which it is intended to go. Failure to keep that in mind will have the audience see you go off on tangents and relate amusing anecdotes, none of which will have any bearing whatsoever on the presentation at hand and may even hurt your chances of getting the audience to buy into the pitch! Watch experienced presenters use this tool of the pitch before utilizing it yourself!
