Hey.

Its Charles here and I’m wrapping up the last leg
of my vacation before I head home Friday.

I’m spending the night here on historic Jekyll Island
but one thing that noticed while staying at the Loews
Royal Pacific Resort before I left was how smooth
everything worked.

The reason the Royal Pacific is able to make everything
work seamless is because they have a system in place.

See most people don’t really have any type of system in
place when it comes to making money online. They just
kind of do thing here and there and then wonder why they
aren’t getting any kind of success…

I know this for a fact because when I first got started
online I didn’t have a system in place and ended up
running around like a Chihuahua on crack.

I was working harder than I ever had and yet I wasn’t
making any money. In fact I was bleeding money and my
credit card balance was getting to the point I couldn’t
even make the minimum payment.

The only reason this changed was because my former boss
took me under his wing and taught me how to create a
system for doing things.

See even a basic system is better than nothing.

Once you get a system for doing anything you can
improve it again and again until it runs like a charm.

This is also one of the hidden secrets of anybody who
is successful online.

And everybody that I know who is running a 6 figure
or above business has a system in place.

One place you copy a working system is here.

Check this out and give it a try.

To make money with articles that you place on websites, you will also need a variety of good affiliate links that will help to generate revenue. It is important that you know where to find affiliates and that you choose the best affiliates for you and your niche site.

When you pick an affiliate, it is important that you determine which companies you will profit best from based on the frequency that the product is likely to sell. There are several types of affiliates and some will offer you more money from a sale than others will. Before you get hazy-eyed by dollar signs, however, remember some products are bound to sell more than others. If you sell on product four times a year from a little known company that gives you $100 per sale or sell a well known product 3 times a week at the rate of $10 per sale, then you will make much more money with the $10 per sale product. Often times large well known companies will offer a very small profit per sale because they are established and know that their product is likely to sell well. Small, unknown companies, on the other hand, need all of the promotion they can get. Also, because they are unknown, their products are likely to sell less frequently.

The most important rule when picking affiliates to promote on your site is to pick products that would be of interest to those who would likely visit your niche site. Otherwise you will be promoting a product to a group of people who do not even want nor need it. If your niche site targets parents of young children, then promote baby products. If you niche site targets gardeners, then promote gardening products. If you promote baby products to gardeners, you are almost guaranteed to not make a profit no matter how much money the affiliate company offers for a sale.

Lastly, there are two main ways to find an affiliate company for your niche website. You can sign up with a company that manages the accounts of hundreds of companies, big and small, and apply for the products within these accounts or you can do a web search for companies that would match well with your niche, visit their websites, and see if they advertise an affiliate program.

Once affiliates begin to sign up, even if you are
automatically approving them, its in your best
interest to audit your network on a regular basis.
Now, the FTC is making marketers responsible for
the actions of their affiliates. If your affiliates
get out of control, it could cost you a lot of money.

You’ll have hundreds of affiliates sign up for your
program. Hobbyists, spammers, webmasters and even
marketers. It’s very important that you review
each one on a regular basis to ensure the way they
are promoting you is acceptable to your company and
above all - its legal.

Below, you’ll find some tips when screening:
1. All affiliates must have an active web
site. If not, they may be spammers.
2. The affiliate site content must relate
to your products or services.
3. The site should have appropriate levels
of content.
4. Misuse of content. Be very clear with
your affiliates and what content they can use from
your website.

Affiliate fraud
Fraud with affiliates has been increasing over the
last several years, which is another great reason
to screen your affiliates on a regular basis. With
fraud, there are two main types:

Malware - Some affiliates out there have developed
software that is installed on a machine, normally as
part of a free download. When someone clicks on the
affiliate link, the true affiliate ID is replaced
with the fraud.

Fake purchase - If you have a product of high value
that returns large commissions for affiliates, you
may notice some bad parties signing up, then using
stolen or fake credit card information to purchase
products via their links.

Communicating with affiliates
Good affiliates are normally busy, as they can
easily forget about your services and products.
As time goes by, your offers can wind up less in
less visited areas or accidentally deleted.

It’s extremely important to stay in contact with
your affiliates, even more so with the high performers.
Do not wait for them to contact you, as if you
do, it normally means they are reporting a problem.
By taking the time to contact them, you are showing
that you are interested in the partnership.

You don’t need a new product as an excuse to
contact your power affiliates. Even if it’s just
a quick note to ask if they need anything. You
can also use the opportunity for feedback on your
program as well.

Managing a successful affiliate program is not an
easy task you can fully automate, as you’ll have
to get involved. Happy affiliates are more
productive, and the more money they make - the
more money your company makes as well.

Hey,

Its Charles here and I’m about to leave for 7 days at Universal
Studios in Orlando. I really do need some time away from the
marketing.

My wife is not happy that I’m taking the laptop & my iPhone but
I’m going to post some video and pictures to my blog for you.

But one thing that has really been on my mind is how many people
have not made the 1st dollar online despite all the hard work
and long hours that they put in.

I know for a fact because I get email from people all over the world
asking me about how to make some extra money online.

So this is what I’m going to do once I get back.

I’m going to let you copy everything I do to go into a niche and make
a profit. Now I’m not going to use all my custom made tools or call
my friends and ask for a JV.

I’m going to do it all while you watch via video.

Now this is what I need to know from you.

Please tell me what you are having problems with online?

I’m not going to hold anything back and I’m going to let you copy
everyhting I do. But I really need you to post your questions here.

Affiliate programs will enable a business to generate
a lot of traffic and therefore boost sales through
promotion by third party sales or sites. It’s also
a cost effective way to advertise your products and
services as you pay only for the efforts that
actually turn into sales.

Setting up your own affiliate system can be either
easy or overwhelming, all depending on how many
affiliates you want to recruit, as well as your
payment policy and the type of product that you are
offering.

As for your affiliate systems, there are two options
for your business - outsource the entire system or
run your own affiliate system through your own
web host. Each one boasts its own advantages as
well as disadvantages.

If you have a small amount of affiliates, then you
can run your own affiliate software. If you plan
to recruit a large number of affiliates, then you
will probably need to outsource. The reason for
this, is because you’ll find it easy to deal with
a large number of sign ups, track payments, monitor
clicks, etc.

Types of affiliates
There are numerous types of affiliates out there
to choose from. There’s the pay per sale, there
an individual is paid only if a sale is generated
from the affiliate’s link. It’s the least attractive
to people, unless the product is in high demand
and the most profitable for business.

Another type is the pay per lead, where you pay
only for traffic. With this type, the affiliate
is paid only if a visitor is generated from the
site of the affiliate. It’s attractive to affiliates
although costly to web site owners due to the
possibility of non sale visits.

Considerations
When setting up an affiliate, something to consider
is whether or not you’ll approve affiliates manually
or automatically. It’s normally recommended to
start affiliate programs with your established
customer sites then progress to new ones.

If you are dealing with pay per clicks, you may
have to control the affiliates as the quality of
visitors will be a huge factor when it comes to the
generation of sales. By manually reviewing, you’ll
also be able to judge the website or individual
affiliates to see if it’s in the best interest of
your company.

If you decide to use your own affiliate system, one
of your biggest challenges will be how to pay
affiliates a percentage of what you end up receiving
from customers. To do this, you can rely on software
such as Affiliate shop to help you track and manage
commissions.

Running affiliates programs is easier than ever with
the software and help available now. However, keeping
your affiliates motivated and selling isn’t quite
as easy to do. If the success of your business rests
upon how your affiliates perform, you make want to
provide them with the right tools to get the job
done successfully.

If you are already running an affiliate program for
your products, you should know that a large number of
people who sign up for your program never to be
heard from again. You can however, reduce the number
of non productive affiliates by remaining in touch
with them constantly.

Remind them of their usernames and passwords, and
tell them where to log in to check their stats or
get creative. Always keep them informed of new
product lines or changes in policy or procedures.

The key to motivation is making sure that you stay
in touch. Always pay attention to who your top
sellers are, and make sure that you contact them
on a regular basis. Pay attention to who your worst
producers are, and make sure you stay in touch
with them constantly as well.

The main reason most affiliates don’t perform that
well is because they don’t possess any leadership
or guidance. This can easily be changed by writing
a marketing course, which you can even offer for
sale to non affiliates, although you should make
it available to your affiliates at no charge.

Keep your creatives and sales copy up to date. You
should also provide new material for your affiliates
to use on a regular basis. Providing them with
nothing but a text link and one banner just
doesn’t generate much excitement at all.

Provide your affiliates with sales letters, reviews,
ads, banners of different shapes and sizes, and
anything else that comes to mind. Be sure that your
affiliates know the material is there for them to
use. Always listen to your affiliates, and get
the proper feedback on your material.

You should also hold virtual meetings. Set up chat
rooms where your affiliates can attend virtual
meetings on a weekly basis. Be sure to answer any
questions, have motivated speakers, and aything
else you can think of to make the meetings more
motivated.

Given your affiliates the credit they deserve is
also very important. Each month, you should give
credit to the best performers in your affiliate
newsletter. Give small bonuses to those that
perform well, and you can even set up a payment
structure that rewards higher commissions and bigger
volumes of sales.

Always make sure you do everything you can to
help your affiliates succeed and make money in
your program. If they are making money - you are
succeeding and making money as well. In reality -
their success is your success.

Affiliate Marketing has increasingly become an integrated and large part of a company’s marketing plans – most notably for companies that wish to use the internet to gain revenue or sell products. For this reason, e-commerce owes much of its rise to the idea of affiliated marketing, which includes websites such as CDNOW (BuyWeb) or Amazon.com.

The idea of affiliated marketing is profoundly simple yet incredibly effective. Basically, a webmaster will display a merchant’s adverts on a site, and be paid for those websites in one of three ways. Either, he will be paid per click (known as Cost-per-click, CPC for short) which means that every time the advert is clicked, the affiliate is paid. This is not the favored form of affiliate marketing due to many fraud click sites, the rise of adware, and other fraudulent schemes.

Another method of payment is Cost-per-Action (CPA) which is when the affiliate receives income based on either a sale, registration, or the ‘action’ of the person who has clicked the advert from the affiliate’s site.

The last form – and most favored form – is the Cost-per-sale method (CPS) which is based solely upon sales or purchases generated on the merchant’s site, that have come through the affiliated site. CPA and CPS are very similar in this respect, and represent a form of revenue sharing or commission plan.

Affiliate marketing has many benefits for both the affiliate and the merchant, one being that there are no real risks at all for both parties – and both parties find it very beneficial. Merchants enjoy affiliate marketing, and it has become a favored form of advertising for e-commerce business.
