Affiliate Marketing w/ Sub-Affiliates

Recruiting sub-affiliates is (in most cases) the most beneficial thing you can do for your affiliate business. The reason I say " in most cases" is because it really depends on the quality of the sub affiliates you recruit.

There will be mainly two types of sub-affiliates on your roster at any given time:

First, you've got the casual internet surfer who stumbles upon your page through a series of affiliate marketing queries and thinks to him/herself: "hey, this'll be cool.. I'll be rich in No Time!." This type of sub-affiliate is useless to your business, they put up links and banners for a few days and then get frustrated and quit when they don't see any commission checks during their first week.

On the flip side of that, you will also have a few hard working, consistent, and thus highly beneficial sub-affiliates on your roster as well. These are not so easy to come by though.... You have to really put some effort and thought into how you go about recruiting your sub-affiliates if you want to acquire a sharp, willing-to-learn, ultra-responsive, dedicated network of affiliate marketers on your team.

A well developed team of sub-affiliates can really drive your commission payments through the roof. Study the following example for a look into the world of Affiliate Marketing with the help of Sub-Affiliates.

Imagine you have 50 sub affiliates who each make only 1 sale per month....

Let's say the original Product Price = $119.95

1st Level Commsion= $59.98

2nd Level Commision= $6.00

50 sub-affiliates x 1 sale per month= $300.00/monthly

Examine these other hypothetical situations:

100 sub-affiliates x 1 sale per month= $600.00/monthly

500 sub-affiliates x 1 sale per month= $3000.00/monthly

1000 sub-affiliates x 1 sale per month= $6000.00/monthly

Even if only half of your 1000 sub-affiliates make 1 sale per month, you'd still walk away with $3000 clean.

There are many ways to recruit high quality sub-affiliates. Just use your imagination and get creative, or if you prefer, you can ask the almighty Google for help..

eBay Leaves Commision Junction

EBay has officially divorced the Affiliate Network Giant Commission Junction. On April 1st eBay re-launched it's affiliate program, only this time it's going to be run in-house through what is now being called: the eBay Partner Network.

If you had previously signed up as an affiliate through Commission Junction you'll need to re-register and get accepted into the new program in order to participate. EBay also urges all affiliates who are migrating from the old program to the new one to create new banner advertisements and widgets instead of attempting to update the ones created under the Commission Junction housed program.

Payment Structure

EBay's "new" affiliate program gives it's members two options when it comes to getting paid.

One way to earn money is through eBay revenue; the way you earn a commission is when one of your referred users places a bid on an item or uses Buy It Now (BIN) within the first seven days of following your link.

The other way to earn affiliate commissions is when your referred visitor becomes a new active confirmed registered user or ACRU for short. In order for a user to be deemed as an ACRU, the visitor must have followed your affiliate link, registered on the site, confirmed their account and placed a bid on any item or used the Buy It Now feature within their first 30 days as members.

So How Much Do I Earn?

The amount of commission you make is based on a percentage of the fees earned by eBay associated with a winning bid by one of your referred users. It can get pretty in-depth to try to explain it, and the amount of the commission also varies depending on which site you sent the user to, as you have the option of sending your visitors to ebay US, Half.com, or a variety of other Countries' eBay websites. For a complete breakdown of commission payments, please visit the eBay Partner Network website.

Zlio Shop Earnings - month #1

It's been a while since I've written anything about my zlio shop, so I figured I'd post a zlio shop report. I set my shop up about a month ago and so far it has earned me 0.28 cents from adsense clicks and I had two people sign up as sub-affiliates, or as zlio refers to them referees. I also had two people link to my shop.

I think that this affiliate program is one that will most likely yield nice results in a few months from now... who knows.. maybe even years.. After all, they do offer lifetime commissions on all of your sales and your referrals sales up to two levels deep.

I'm currently working on building up a nice amount of sub affiliates in order to make a serious attempt at earning money with zlio and their "5 minute shops".. Even though I've only earned 0.28 cents so far, I strongly believe that it's possible to earn a lot of money with Zlio.

I will post a Zlio Shop Update as soon as it's necessary... Stay tuned to this blog as I embark on my money earning journey with affiliate programs and online marketing. Don't forget to subscribe to my feed to receive new posts either by email or in your RSS feed reader.


Take Care,

Antonio

Friend Finder Affiliate Progress

A couple months ago I wrote a blog post about the Adult Friend Finder affiliate program. It's a program that I had signed up for a while back and hadn't seen much success from.

Well here we are about two months later and still not much success from the program. I guess I only have myself to blame for it, as I haven't really made it a point to promote the program heavily yet. As a matter of fact, that blog post was the last time that I ever wrote about adult friend finder... haven't even mentioned it since.

I still don't doubt the earning potential that their program has. I mean c'mon they've got over 20 different dating sites that you can promote and the payout options are great, especially when compared to a lot of the other affiliate programs available on the web today.

If you haven't already, make sure to check out the adult friend finder affiliate program so that you can see for yourself all the great online dating websites that they have to offer.

Here is a list of just some of the websites that you will be able to promote once you join the adult friend finder affiliate program:

I plan on promoting the adult friend finder program pretty hard over the next few months, I'll be checking back in with another Friend Finder Affiliate Progress post as soon as I see a substantial increase in earnings.


Take Care,

Antonio

Creating Cash with Content

Creating cash with content is a very interesting concept. You basically create useful content that others can benefit from, publish it to the web, promote your site in any way possible, and begin earning cash from Google Ads and/or affiliate marketing. At least that is the general concept behind it. Whether or not you will actually generate any income through regularly updated content depends on a number of factors.

If cash is what you're seeking, the content you provide on your website must be extremely interesting or should help your visitor answer a question, solve a problem, or learn something new. You want to keep fresh interesting content on your website to keep your visitors coming back for more again and again. Also, if you're content is really intriguing people will help promote your website by word of mouth, which is the best kind of marketing.

One way to earn money is by displaying advertisements on your website. You can sign up for Google's adsense program for free, providing that you have a website or blog with content on it. Make sure that you have at least a few pages of content or a few posts in your blog before applying for the adsense program. Google actually checks your site for content, and if you don't have any or have very little, they will reject your application into the adsense program.

Another way to make money with a content based business is with affiliate programs. With affiliate programs you promote other peoples products and get paid a commission when sales are made. Most affiliate programs are free to join and can be found easily by conducting a search in your favorite search engine. You should join affiliate programs that offer products and/or services that are related to your site. Your visitors will be more likely to click on ads that are relevant to the information they are on your site looking for in the first place.

There are other streams of income that can be created with a highly sought after, content-rich website. For example, selling ad space or writing sponsored blog posts is also said to be a major bread winner on the world wide web. Since I have no experience with either of those two things yet, I won't be getting into them today. Once I've written a few sponsored posts and sell some advertising space on one of my websites I'll post about my experiences.

Take Care,

Antonio

How To Become An Affiliate

Becoming an affiliate is one of the easiest business propositions out there, which is why it is so quickly gaining in popularity. Businesses want to have as many affiliate marketers working for them as possible, after all, it's really just a form of free advertising. For this reasons, businesses make it very easy to sign up for an affiliate program. Find a program, sign up for free, and just like that you're an affiliate.

The most important part of affiliate marketing boils down to one word: relevancy. In order to be a successful affiliate, you need to choose partnership programs that correspond to the nature of your affiliate site. So if you are running a travel affiliate site, link to affiliate sites for airfare, travel packages, clothing, and other relevant sites. Linking to a pet product affiliate doesn't make so much sense.

This is core to why experienced affiliate marketers will have a stable of sites. They'll have their travel hub, pet hub, book hub, and so on. Some affiliate marketing links will cross over, for instance, everyone needs credit cards and even airfare deals could find a home on a pet site. The basic rule of thumb is that affiliate links should be on topic.

If you're just starting out, one method to starting an affiliate site is to thumb through affiliate marketing directories and see what affiliate marketing programs interest you: do they offer a good product, do they have good terms, do they have a good rating? You could then design your website around a particular type of product based on the affiliate program you have found in an affiliate directory. If you already have a running website, check directories for new affiliate marketing programs that correspond to the site.

At times, less is more. There are literally hundreds of affiliate deals out there with good terms and a good product. Don't just cram hundreds of links onto one page. Your affiliate links should be easy to read and access, and they should be organic: they should appear to be a part of the site, rather than an obvious moneymaking opportunity. The more relevant these affiliate sites are to the main theme of the site, the more likely it is web surfers will click on the link and make a purchase.

Take Care,

Antonio

Difference Between An Affiliate & Super Affiliate

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Super Affiliate! Corny, but "super affiliate" is the new buzzword for affiliates who are both ambitious and successful at affiliate marketing. There are wild claims online about affiliate marketing: Make Millions Overnight! Never Work Again! Unfortunately, these claims are usually false. To go from being a plain affiliate to super affiliate takes a lot of work. In short, you need to be an affiliate of steel.

The vast majority of affiliate marketing sites online are run by people who have no great interest in turning a huge profit. For example, you'll find thousands of blogs where people put up a few Amazon listings and/or Google links on the off chance that a passing browser will click on them. That's all well and good, but this is no way to make a dent in the affiliate marketing game. To be a super affiliate, you need to treat affiliate marketing as a job, not just something that you do on the side to put a couple of bucks in your pocket.

There is a misconception that affiliate marketing is not a real business. After all, the affiliate is not putting out a product. This is patently false. Even though an affiliate marketer is not manufacturing a product, he or she is still offering the product up for sale. An affiliate marketer still needs to be in charge of search engine optimization, custom content, quality web design, financial management, and everything else that goes into running a successful e-business. As with any business, an affiliate marketing plan is only as strong as the amount of work you put into it.

A super affiliate will be able to turn as hefty a profit as a standard business—several sales a day on a number of different fronts. Remember, successful affiliate marketers don't necessarily stop at one site. They set up a variety of affiliate sites with a good web address, quality web design, and lucrative affiliate marketing opportunities. Additionally, once you start selling at an accelerated rate, some affiliate programs will promote you from regular affiliate to super affiliate. If you start sending sales and traffic to a business, they will reward you with better terms.

This isn't an easy proposition, but it is possible. Make sure that an affiliate program has a corresponding super affiliate program in place—better terms for more sales. Even if they don't, an affiliate with good terms up front can really pay off if you're able to make a several sales a month. Affiliate programs with great terms are also sometimes referred to as super affiliates. Find these and you know you'll have a good marketing in place at the start.

What is an Affiliate Program?

I always get tons of people asking me "what exactly is an affiliate program?"

They ask me this because everywhere I go, I always try to spread knowledge of affiliate programs and how great they are. I've found them to be a good source of income, and believe that anyone with the ability to type, and the determination to earn some money, can do it to.

So what exactly is an affiliate program?

I'll try to explain this in the simplest way possible, so that everyone can fully understand the definition of an Affiliate Program.

The Affiliate Program was created as a way to spread the word about a particular product or service.

Companies that have affiliate programs allow us to promote their products & services. Whenever a sale is made, we are paid a commision. That pretty much sums it up. Really, that's it.

It may sound like an easy way to earn money, but there lies a little problem within our picture perfect fantasy. You must have traffic (and lots of it) if you plan on earning any real money from your affiliate ventures.

You can have a million web pages/blogs floating around the internet, but if you dont get anybody to read them - they're of no good use to ya. When I say read them, I mean really read them. You'll have to be creative and come up with exciting topics to entice your site visitors to read your material. Once you can maintain a nice re-ocurring traffic flow to your website(s), you can move on to the next item on your to-do list, which should be: getting your visitors to click on your affiliate links.

My goal with this post was to introduce the concept of affiliate programs, I hope that everyone was able to grasp at least the basics of what affiliate programs are and what they are capable of in terms of earning potential.

Feel free to leave comments, ask questions, or share your affiliate program experiences with the rest of us.
