“I’ve just joined a hot new affiliate program, then I advertised it everywhere, and not one sale…How come?
Did you know that when you become an affiliate of most programs that the url that they give you can actually cause you to loose sales?
That long 15 character url they give you is a dead giveaway that your pushing someone else’s product.
Even a good advertisement sometimes isn’t enough to push the reader from skeptic to purchaser.
If you have your own affiliate program that you’re offering or even if your an affiliate of someone else’s program then put the kids to rest and tell your significant other that you need a little quality time…because what I’m going to show you next can benefit you both.
If you have your own affiliate program than you need to teach your affiliates how to hide their affiliate link that you give them.
Of course that’s one way.
But an even better way that works is to have them sell your affiliate program using their own website.
And that goes for anyone who has their own program or if you’re an affiliate of someone else’s program.
How basic is that?
That’s internet marketing 101.
Or if it isn’t… it darn well should be.
You have to teach your affiliates how to be profitable.
How crazy a thought is it to think that the average joe who’s use to having a boss hover over him and make every important decision for them all of a sudden have to make decisions about marketing a business.
That won’t work.
The average 9-5′er doesn’t have the mind set to become a marketer.
So you have to show them.
Take them by the hand and say, step 1 do this, step 2 do this, step 3 do that.
Think about it.
If you’ve only made 40,000 a year and your good buddy Bob from down the street asked you if you could show how to earn 100,000 a year what would your answer be?
Your answer might be good enough to get him up to 40 grand, but it won’t be enough to kick him up to 100,000.
How come?
Because your mind set was set to earn 40,000 a year. So to double that will take a different mind set from what you currently have.
And working more hours is not the answer either.
There’s only so many hours in a day…plus exchanging labor for money is a loosing proposition.
The people who earn the big money don’t work 16 hour days.
Think “The Donald” works harder than you do?
Think Bill Gates works harder than you do?
Nope..They don’t.
But who’s salary would you rather have, theirs, or yours?
Well I’ve come to a point in this message when my brain has told me it’s better to stop now than to continue rambling on…so like a good little scout I will follow its orders.
But not without leaving you with a tool that you can use to hide your affiliate id’s for the programs you are promoting.
All you have to do is punch in your affiliate link and hit the button…then out pop’s a much shorter link that will contain your affiliate id, but will be less obvious to your readers.
That’s all for now.
