Okay, talking time is over. If
you’re still with me, then you’re serious about starting an internet business.
Good!
Because it’s time to start making
money. To keep you from getting a bad case of paralysis by analysis I’ve used
the KISS method (Keep It Simple
Stupid) throughout these lessons so
that when you do choose your niche and select your product, we’ll start slow
until you get the hang of it and start making some money.
Although there are a number of
sites where you can chose a product to promote, the best to start out with is Warrior
forum. It cost ten bucks for a lifetime membership and for the education you
can get there, it’s the best ten bucks you’ll ever spend.
So if you haven’t joined yet
here’s the LINK: http://www.warriorforum.com
Then go to the top right of the
page and click on register. Then look over terms of service, agree to it &
create a user name. Pick something associated with your niche.
Since I’m a
writer I would go with something like Bookguy or novelman. Fill out the rest of
the info and wait for the confirmation email.
Once your user name is
established you can use it to become an affiliate marketer at
Once there, sign in and click on
Affiliates on the upper tool bar. You’ll see a screen that looks like this:
Then click on View Available
offers and a screen like this one will appear.
Here’s is probably where you
should take notes. Just under the words WSO Affiliate offers is a red toolbar
with the words:
WSO Date Sales
Visitor Conv. Visitor
Value Average Price Bumps
Comm Rate and Refund rate. request
Here’s what those words stand
for: WSO Date=the date the product went on sale. Sale=the number sold so far.
+100 means over 100 could be 102 or 2million. Visitor Conversion=the percentage
of people who clicked on the product and bought it. Average Price=what the
product is selling for. Bumps=the people
who after a quick look left. Commission Rate=the percentage of the price of the
product you will receive as its seller (i.e. if it sells for $10 dollars at a
50% rate you would get $5 dollars) Refund rate= the percent of purchasers who
didn’t like the product and asked for a refund.
And finally ‘request’. Remember
these products are these people’s livelihood so they don’t want troublemakers
or spammers representing them. If you decide you like a product enough to
become an affiliate then after you click ‘request’and the box appears, convince
them that you believe in the product and want to sell it.
Keep in mind you may get a few
refusals at first. It’s not personal. Once you start making sales the refusals
will drop.
So lets say you picked a product
in your niche, perhaps even bought it and liked it and the seller gave you the
go ahead. What you will receive is an affiliate link that you put on your sales
ad or article. Now, how do you go about selling it?
Our first stop is http://www.usfreeads.com Here is the link with instructions on how to
use it. http://bit.ly/11PTn7N
Today I decided to
become an affiliate for a product called The Kindle Bestseller Roadmap. I
bought the product myself and liked it enough to promote it. So the first thing
I did was write an ad on www.usfreeads.com
Here’s the LINK:
So go look around, get a feel of the place and make sure that if you like a product scroll down and read the reviews. Sometime you can find something others are missing and make a killing (remember the grill man)
See you tomorrow
