The secrets of top affiliate programs.


If you haven’t got your own set of top affiliate programs yet then this is going to blow your mind. Even if you have I can guarantee that this will be a real eye opener. The majority of affiliate program owners have it set up in a way that is completely wrong.


Would you sign up for affiliate programs that expected you to do all the work with only grudgingly paid commission and no backup? No, so why do so many affiliate programs do it. The top affiliate programs are far more with it.

Let me explain.
Provide your affiliate with email promotions, articles, press releases, pay per click ads,banner adverts and whatever else you can create that will enable people to promote your site to the masses with as little work as possible.

You could even write articles for them together with a selection of alternative keywords for them to submit to article directories all over the internet and do very well for the affiliates and boost dramatically the visits to your web site. If you just had one hundred affiliates blasting one article all over the net you’ve just multiplied your marketing power by one hundred. This is the key to making massive amounts on-line.

Have An Affiliate Only Newsletter that is just for your affiliates. Each week send out a mini blueprint on how they can market your products an earn a commission. Inform them of new products you’ve just launched or new marketing materials you’ve just added to your affiliates area. Combine this with a weekly competition.

Then each week your affiliate who earns the most gets an extra one hundred dollars or whatever you can afford. Mention the winner in each weeks newsletter and say things like “who thinks they can overtake Jane as being my top affiliate? Come on guys I know I’ve got some great marketers signed up as my affiliates prove it and I’ll mention you in next weeks newsletter”.

Enthusiasm from you is infectious and will rub off onto your affiliates this is the route to top affiliate programs.

So you have enthusiastic affiliate sending hoards of visitors to your web site. Usually,
you want those visitors to actually do something there. It is equally important to monitor the number of visitors to your site who made a purchase. This figure is called the site conversion rate, and it is an essential element of the effectiveness of your website.

To find the site conversion rate, take the number of visitors per month and figure out the percentage of them that actually performed the action your site is set up for.

For example, if you had 2,000 hits to your site, but only 25 of them purchased your product, your site conversion rate equals 1.25%. To get this figure, take your number of visitors who made a purchase and divide that figure by the number of visitors then multiply by 100. Eg (25/2000)x100
Then test by changing the way you get visitors to purchase.

Examine how easy it is for a visitor to your website to accomplish the action the site is set-up
for. For example, if your goal is for the visitor to fill out a form, is this form easily accessible, or does the visitor have to go through four levels to get to it? If it's too difficult to get to, the customer may just throw in the towel and move on to another site. Make sure your buttons are highly visible, and the path to your form or ordering page quickly accessible.

I have been on sites where I really wanted to buy but was frustrated as I could not find how to order. If you want to be amongst the top affiliate programs you do need to look at the web ordering as well as commissions.

The earn money affiliate secret success story.


Developing a product to sell via the internet is very profitable. If you already have something you currently sell by any means or even if you have nothing yet, read on and discover the how earn money affiliate way is the road to success.


No suitable product yet?

A “how to” electronically delivered product (ebook) is a simple easy way into the earn money affiliate secret route to success.

Here's how;

The trick really is to just get started. Just start writing and let you thoughts flow. Don’t worry about spelling or grammar or sentence structure or formatting or any of that. Just get the information out of you. You can edit it later. If you edit while you write, you interrupt the flow of ideas.

You can also use a tape recorder and just talk freely into it. Imagine you’re talking to a friend and you’re giving her advice about X (where “X” is the subject you want to write about.) When you’re done, you can type it all out into your computer, or get someone to transcribe it.

The earn money affiliate concept is not about being an English major. Just write the way you talk to a friend. Then, have someone read it out loud and see if either of you can find any areas that sounds choppy or confusing. You can also get a college student to edit it for you, if you’re not comfortable doing your own editing. (Although, personally, I prefer to read an ebook that seems like the author is “talking to me” (it seems more interactive) instead of an ebook that uses perfect grammar, and structure but ends up being boring.

If it still seems like a daunting task to write the book, just break the ebook up into sections or chapters, and knock them out one at a time… kinda like writing short reports. (Break the task up into smaller pieces and tackle it that way.)

OK but what subject?

Spend a few moments writing down aspects of your hobbies, interests, jobs you have done, paid and unpaid, anything and everything you have been involved with. Then pick something from there that others would like to know about. Consider at this time physical items linked to it or audio and video versions, let you mind expand. Yes you can become a specialist and expert very quickly. Especially if you do some extra research on the internet.

The standard way to come up with a winning ebook idea is to study your market. Find out what the problems and frustrations of your market is and pick a subject that people are desperately needing answers to.

You can also simply “ask” people what they want. If you already have a customer base, just ask them what kind of product they’re most interested in and are willing to pay for. Then, create that product for them.

The best way to ensure your ebook's success is to choose topics that provide solutions to existing problems.

But there's an easier way!

I’ll be honest… I don't particularly like to work hard unless I absolutely have to. I don't see a point to it. So, if there's a short cut to be found, I'll find it - or I'll create one!

Whenever I want to create a new product, I just look at what’s already selling well out there and I give that product/idea a unique twist.

Just follow the experts and top sellers, watch what’s hot on Clickbank.com's Marketplace (i.e. what sells the most,) check out Amazon.com and see what’s moving there. Go to forums and look for common problems or complaints people are having.

Having got your product then you need top quality affiliates to sell it for you. There is a very good web site
www.affiliatetrainer.notlong.com which shows how to get massive sales from developing a product into an earn money affiliate bonanza, step by step. Well worth the follow up.

How to set up a new affiliate program that will generate huge cash reward for you.


So you've chosen an affiliate program directory company for your product and now want sales to rocketed through the roof.


Getting people to sign up to your affiliate program is crucial, however if they sign up and send visitors to your site, but the visitors do not buy then goodbye new affiliate program.

You have to put your customer’s wants and needs in front of your own…and then watch as (almost magically) you get everything you ever wanted too…

While it’s true that the customer may want to save money and they’re interested in getting their hands on “secret” recipes, chances are their desires are even deeper than that.

Very often if you can appeal to someone’s ego, they’ll open their wallet to buy your product.
You need to paint a picture that enables them to imagine their friends and family being impressed, complimenting them, etc. This is most important for the on line business where your customer has no direct contact with you.

Sometimes the product you are putting on the market is so revolutionary that people have yet to realize they need or want it. In that case, if you decide to proceed you will likely spend a lot of time and money educating your potential customers.

For example, marketer John Reese was one of the first people to come out with an autoresponder. People didn’t realize they needed it, and they for sure didn’t want it. In fact, they didn’t even know what it was. As such, John and his closest competitors had to educate the market before he could sell autoresponders.

Now of course when you say “autoresponder” most people want it for their business plus they tend to need it if they’re running a mailing list. Even though the competition may be tough, at least if you entered that market now you wouldn’t need to explain to potential customers why they wanted and needed your autoresponder service.

So what’s the bottom line? Know your market! No matter who you are marketing to and what product or service you’re putting out, if you want to succeed make sure your market wants what you have. Better yet, make sure your market DESPERATELY wants your product!

Do the sales pages reflect this style, if not your new affiliate program will struggle to convert visitors to sales. Once your satisfied that your sales page will convert visitors to customers then concentrate on getting affiliates.

OK so you have your sales pages sorted.

Now here's the second important place where most people go wrong. They set up new affiliate program and have a links that says “click here to sign up” and then that’s it.

You need to sell your new affiliate program. Have a mini sales letter that explains the benefit of people signing up. Tell them their commissions and how they can earn a living without ever having to create a product or have a web site just by promoting your products. Get them fired up and enthusiastic.

Provide your affiliate with email promotions, articles, press releases, pay per click ads,banner adverts and whatever else you can create that will enable people to promote your site to the masses with as little work as possible.

Here’s the thing. You could write an article and offer it to you affiliates for them to submit to article directories all over the internet if you just have one hundred affiliates blasting that article all over the net you’ve just multiplied your marketing power by one hundred. This is the key to making a new affiliate program generate massive cash bonuses for you.
