Reach New Markets

I made some of the easiest money I
ever made - because of an affiliate program. It happened a few years ago
when I attended an Internet marketing seminar on the Gold Coast. It was
a full weekend seminar which cost about $1,600.
I didn't earn any income at the event itself. But they had an affiliate
program, which gave me the opportunity to make money by promoting the
seminar. It was simple. They would allow anyone to promote their
seminars on their behalf, and all I had to do was send someone to their
Web site. If someone booked as a result of visiting the Web site, they
would pay me a referral commission.
It turned out to be a fairly hefty commission from this particular
group: 50% of the ticket price, or $800.. As it turned out, I referred
three people who booked as a result of reading about it on my mailing
list promotion. So I not only covered my own cost of the seminar, but I
made a profit as well.
There lies the power of affiliate marketing.
In a nutshell: You're
running a business with products or services, which you'd like to
promote to a wider market.
You have people currently in your network who can reach new customers
through their own networks. By giving them an incentive to promote your
business, you reach new markets and increase your sales.
This program is for you if:
- You would like to drive more traffic to your Web site
- You would like to attract more highly motivated buyers to your site
- Your competitors have deep pockets, but you’re working on a tight budget
- You’re working in a highly competitive industry
Why is this different?
There is a lot of material available already about the benefits of
affiliate marketing, particularly on the Internet. You can get e-books,
books, special reports, online courses, even attend seminars where they
talk about nothing else but how to run a successful affiliate marketing
program.
So what makes this material different? Why am I even bothering to cover
a subject that's covered thoroughly by other materials? Here's why: This
book focuses on you as a small business owner looking to add affiliate
marketing to your overall marketing mix.
Most of the existing material applies to those who want to make
affiliate marketing their one and only marketing tool. Many of these
business people set up products and services purely for the sake of
affiliate marketing. All they want to do, and their total aim, is to run
a business to get affiliates to promote their products and services and
make money in this way. That does work - in fact, I personally know
people who have done that very successfully.
But for most of us, that's not how we run our business. We already have
a business, and now we would like more sales from new markets. We will
be using affiliate marketing as one - but only one - of our marketing
channels.
So that's my goal: To help you make more money by adding affiliate
marketing to your mix. Other programs promoted on the Internet are great
if you have the time, energy and focus to make affiliate marketing work
for you as your main marketing method. But if you want to add it to
other marketing techniques you already use, take my advice here to get
started.
If you find that this marketing method really takes off and it is
something you really enjoy doing, by all means change course. You might
even find that it is more profitable than all your other marketing put
together and becomes so profitable that you don't have to market very
much in other ways. But for many of us, you will find that paying people
commissions for referrals is just one of the things you'll do as part of your marketing mix.
In this program, you will learn how to:
