The
Affiliate secret you must learn for Online success
Get set to have all of your
ideas about Affiliate Programs turned upside down. While you may
be hesitant at first, rest assured, once you put this new
knowledge to use your Online business will flourish like never
before.
Here is the way you MUST use
Affiliate programs.
“The main purpose of your
Affiliate program is NOT to make money. The main purpose of your
Affiliate program is to add names to your opt-in list.”
Read the quote again. Quite a
shocker isn’t it? Let me explain why this statement is so
true.
Think about how Affiliate
programs work. You have been taught to place ads so people will
click on the link which takes them directly to the product
website. The net result is that you spend your time and money to
generate traffic for your Affiliate program and you make some
money on a one time sale. End of your investment and end of your
association with that person.
Let’s analyze this a bit
further because when we do you will see the wisdom in my quote.
The people that responded to
your ad are interested in the product you advertised. Ok, that
is pretty obvious. But they have given you something else when
you think about it. They have given you a clue about the type of
product they are interested in by clicking on the link in your
ad.
You now possess something of
great value - you know something about their interests.
Marketing people love to get this type of info. There is one
slight problem. Under the current way you are doing business you
will never learn who they are or see them again. Once they click
on your Affiliate link, they are whisked off through Cyberspace
to the Affiliate program website.
Let’s now look at a new
Affiliate system designed to maximize the benefits to your
Online business.
Does the Affiliate program you
are interested in offer a free info product such as a course,
report or e-book as advertising tools? If so, awesome. If not,
you will need to create your own info product in order to use
this strategy. Here is how you will use these tools.
Before you place any ads you
will set up an Autoresponder with the free info product and some
follow-up messages. The follow-up messages will offer some
additional information all geared to help sell the Affiliate
program product and develop a relationship with the subscriber.
After your Autoresponder
sequence is set up, instead of advertising the Affiliate product
you will advertise the free info product. In order for the
reader to get the free info product they must join your
Autoresponder list where they will leave their name and e-mail
address.
Do you understand what just
happened? Instead of maybe making a sale for an Affiliate
program product, you now have the name of a person not only
interested in the Affiliate program product but
possibly related products! You now have names you can
introduce other products to in the future at no additional cost
because you have already spent the money to identify these
potential customers.
This is truly a powerful
paradigm shift that very few people know about.
Always, always remember the
number 1 rule of Internet business: The money is in the list!!!
The list empowers you by providing a long term source of
revenue! Look at the money you make from the Affiliate program
is an added benefit.
Once you use this technique
with one Affiliate program you can use it with other programs to
build lists with different interests to create multiple streams
of income.
