JointVentureAndAffiliateMarketing

Affiliate Marketing Introduced; a short article.

With the power of the Internet at our disposable, being an affiliate marketer, or Joint Venturer as it is sometimes called, is a great occupation to be in.

It is so much easier today, in comparison with the past when people had to make use of telephones, snail mail and so on to get up to date with how their program was working. Selling a Joint Venture or Affiliate Product is a great way to start an information business. People visit your web site, you redirect them automatically to the product owner's site. Here the order gets processed and then you are paid your share on a monthly basis.

There are tens of thousands of joint venture products (affiliate products) out there. Some give very small percentages say 5% while others may give 50%.

Those selling informational products usually pay the highest commission. For example the package that I review in the free pdf report that you could get by filling in your name and email above. This is only one of hundreds of affiliate schemes that you may like to consider. I am just using this one as an illustration here.

Nick James pays a full 50% to people who sell his Joint Venture Secrets product. It shows you how his mentor became a multi-millionaire and how Nick James is now living the high life as well. He was scratching a living as a car park attendant when a chance meeting with a successful information product businessman introduced him to this form of making serious money.

An excerpt from Nick-James' sales letter

I began testing it out at first until about 4 weeks later I left the world of parking cars and standing out in the rain behind me for good… Wasn't that a bit hasty?

No not really, because I banked a total of £11,971.71 in my first month with just one little test of this system… WITHOUT any headaches… and WITHOUT breaking a sweat! It was such a difference from working outside in the rain checking pay and display tickets in car windscreens.

And as they say the rest is history. Anyhow the upshot of it all was that I handed in my notice at the Car Park where I worked, and went into this business 'full time' … If you can call about 1-2 hours a day 'full time' that is.

For the 6 months or so that followed I was still averaging around £10,000 A MONTH … Within a year that had risen to a little over… £30,000 A MONTH!

These are just some of my actual monthly deposits I've banked using this system. I've taken them at random:-

5th May - £ ,958.15	2nd June - £1,863.09	3rd July- £5,120.84
15th May - £14,809.95	12th June - £1,886.41	7th July- £1,559.71
25th May - £4,985.38	20th June - £4,544.00	15th July- £1,152.48
30th May - £2,351.04	27th June - £1,511.79	31st July- £8,327.95
etc…	etc…	etc…

MAY 2006 TOTAL	JUNE 2006 TOTAL	JULY 2006 TOTAL
£26,726.25	£30,165.70	£30,131.38

In fact, in the short time I've been doing this I have already banked:-

£1,215,497.45 POUNDS

Yep, £1.2 Million Pounds! Not bad for someone who was checking parking tickets just a couple of years before.

So, assuming that the Joint Venturer is willing to embrace the technology available to them and that they are working from home, a day in their life could be something like this…

Get up and eat breakfast. Wander into the home office and fire up the computer. Check out any new developments in the network overnight. There might be new things to update and statistics to keep on top of.

Perhaps the web site design has to be revised today, as it will every so often. The savvy marketer will be aware that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from its visitors and can help in the affiliate’s conversion rates.

That done, it could be time to submit to various directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people into joining your affiliate program. A really sound way of promoting your affiliate program!

Next, it could be time to take a look at the sales you are getting from your affiliates. Possibly you need to deal with any phone orders and those that arrived in the post or by fax. There may be messages from potential new clients checking out the products. While you are reading your emails you may decide to note down contact information from sales letters that might be a viable source in the future. I recommend keeping a “swipe file” into which you drop good examples of these. In the future you may use these for inspiration when writing your own sales letters.

Perhaps, with a cup of coffee by now, you may take some time to sort out the resources you have for your affiliates to use. Ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations that you give out because as a clever affiliate marketer you know that this is one way of ensuring more sales. You are well aware that it is best to stay visible and accessible to your affiliates.

The affiliate marketer will always be aware that swift answering of questions will pay them dividends. Nothing can turn off a customer than an unanswered email, so please don't let this slip.

Quick answers make you appear professional and friendly replies build trust - indeed I found this with the product reviewed above. A friendly phone call to their office put me at ease at once.

Perhaps the Joint Venturer may at this time decide to log on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and especially those undertaking their own program. This is a great facility where they can discuss such things as how to best promote their products.

The knock on affect can be that others out there, wanting to join, may be enticed in by the discussion that is taking place on the forum. There is no harm in remembering that opportunities may lie ahead from converting silent parties, who have not yet taken the plunge.

The Affiliate Marketer’s newsletters and E-zines should be updated every so often and distributed to old and new customers alike. It is important to be always aware of any new trends that are happening in the market and if the Marketer spots something that is relevant, then he or she will be well advised to write about in their own publication.

These same newsletters are also an important tool in keeping your customer base up to date with any newly introduced products in the marketplace so that the new programs can be introduced and sold to your customer base.

It is also useful to show some appreciation, in the newsletters, to those who have helped increase your sales through good use of promotions. There is nothing quite like mentioning affiliates, their sites and the process they have used to make sales to gain a virtuous circle of happy affiliates who go on to sell more for you.

There may be time, in the day now, to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of wannabes.

The aim will be to achieve two objectives here with just the one action. The marketer gets to promote their product as well as the other program they are in, in the hope that readers may be inclined to join through their link.

O.K., so this may not be all done in a day. This was meant to give you an idea of how a dedicated affiliate marketer may spend their marketing day.

Do this and you may find that success is looming in the near distance for you too.

The 3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive On-line

Many Affiliate Marketers will be searching for a successful market that will give them the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they may think of it as a magic formula that is readily available for them to achieve. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is down to using good marketing practices that have been proved to work over years of hard work and dedication.

There are tactics that have worked well before with other sorts of on-line marketing. These can be used just as well for on-line affiliate marketing as well. With these top three marketing tips, you too will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in affiliate marketing on-line.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing.

Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do for those who buy them. Also, include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. But be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive, compelling and include “calls to action” on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to read more, or even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers.

If possible position them at the very top of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product that they showed interest in at a later moment and you may then get that the sale that could have got away. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. 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 trash file before the recipient even gets to read them. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail themselves of your product or service.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product.

Just think, 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. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way, through the power of the publications which are focused on the subject area that is of interest to your target customers, what you have written might just grab their interest and they see your link in the resources box.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, of at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics above ares not really that difficult to carry out, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income.
