Making Money With Affiliate Programs
I've got to be blunt...
You will make more money utilizing Ken's
information than simply selling it as an affiliate. (below is an explanation of affiliate
marketing).
But there's 3 very BIG reasons why being a
SiteSell affiliate is on my MUST DO list...
1... High calibre products you
can have total confidence recommending to others. Great products are the cornerstone of
great business. Not only are the products good but they are intelligently aimed at
the fastest growing industry sector.
2.. Support - support and more
support. Ken recognizes the value of affiliates who are empowered with the information to
succeed. Affiliates receive regular newsletters that keep them abreast of new developments
and cutting-edge marketing know-how.
Ken provides the 5 Pillar affiliate manual free to
all affiliates. It is regarded by many as one of the finest internet marketing courses
available.
Ken's 5 Pillar Affiliate program was named "THE Affiliate Program of 1999"
out of the 2500 programs listed by Clint Pheeney’s Affiliatesdirectory.com. Allan
Gardyne, the publisher of Associate Programs Newsletter called Ken's affiliate
program "the perfect revenue sharing program" and "the best affiliate
program on the Net"
3... Limited affiliate positions available
- Ken has placed a limit on the number of affiliate positions available to ensure that
affiliates can thrive. As yet he hasn't announced a closing date, but he's warned us it is
coming. The bottom line is a long term future.
Ok... So how do you make money with Ken's affiliate program? Or any associate
program for that matter?
Affiliate marketing is a very simple process.
As an affiliate you simply provide a URL link on
your web page to the vendor's page - if it's clicked through and you make a sale you get a
referral fee. That's how a simple single tier affiliate program works.
Two tier affiliate programs, like Ken's, reward
you on two levels. When an affiliate or associate joins the program through your link,
they become your "sub-affiliate". When they make a sale, you get a smaller
second tier referral fee.

Forrester
Research predicts that affiliate programs
and affiliate networks will represent 20%, or $53 billion, of e-commerce sales by 2005,
compared with an estimated $10.5 million for 2001.
So , the problem for us is how do
we get our slice of the pie?
Well, it really boils down to the biggest internet profit secret... Words. If you can hold your
visitors attention long enough to show them worthwhile products that are related to the
topic you're on a winner.
Ken Evoy does a pretty good job of explaining the
process of creating a simple "theme site" - and exposing people to products in
his free Affiliate
Masters course. It's a great place to start and certainly priced right.
The possibilities are enormous with affiliate
marketing. One guy actually made $461,498 in one month as an affiliate of the now defunct
CyberRebate program! Corey Rudl has associates earning $10,000 or so a month.
We're not likely to go out and match that next
week but we can certainly generate some very welcome extra cash.
Declan Dunn, author of "Winning The
Affiliate Game", has produced a sequel, "Net Profits: How To Win the Internet
Game". In it he describes the exact tactics used by an affiliate marketer
to generate over $65,000 in commissions from only ONE affiliate program.
He also describes in great detail the tactics used by a "super affiliate" who
earned a percentage of the $750,000 in sales which he generated, again for ONE
company.
Now here's a great way to
"steal" a few ideas and action plans, or get a feel for how the high earners do
it. On the free resources page you'll find a way to try out the net profits system for
free. Don't forget it.
But right now, there's just one more piece of the puzzle you
must know about ... Continue...
