The Affiliate Marketers Survival Kit contains a balanced collection of tools. Low ticket items, mid-range ticket items and high ticket items.

Typically these high ticket items will be in excess of $970.

A noteworthy part of the survival kit is ongoing research for better earning products. A developing trend is for affiliate marketers to seek out such products at events put on by the likes of Commission Junction which runs CJU gatherings for affiliate marketers and retailers to work out specific marketing deals.

In addition there are three tactics that stand out from the rest to ensure the affiliate marketer not only survives but thrives. And some of them excel. Rosalind Gardiner earns more than $300,000 a year selling the products of others.

Here are the three tactics

1. Dedicated Web Page

All successful affiliate marketers strive to have custom built dedicated web pages. In other words their only purpose is to attract visitors who are assumed to be seeking information.

Good marketers know that visitors will flee a site that is not content rich on the subject of interest. The object is to get the visitor to come back for repeat visits and as they get comfortable with all the information they get motivated to click from an article page to a merchant product page.

2. Valuable Without Cost Reports to Your Readers

Affiliate marketers offer their visitors, in addition to lots of quality content, the opportunity to get a free e-course targeted to their interests. This gets them on an aweber autoresponder mailing list for up to seven weeks.

This way there is a strong client affiliate relationship developed. This often leads to lifetime customer loyalty on the part of the client who returns often to the site to make purchases.

3. Attract Hungry Traffic that is targeted to your product.

Affiliate marketers want traffic to their web site that is targeted as possible. That way they can have a solid ongoing Internet business with client groups as small as 200.

Other tactics, other than article writing, to attract the desired visitor traffic include investing in Google Adwords campaigns. Here the marketer bids on Google keywords and places small adds on their search pages to encourage searchers to visit their sites.

You can use these tips to launch your affiliate marketing online business. Be warned that this is not a get rich quick activity . Despite what you hear and read.

Get into affiliate marketing for the long haul and watch and adapt to the trends.

Then success will belong to you.

If you are looking to make money on the internet then one of the easiest and most lucrative ways is Affiliate marketing.

Basically you sell other companies products for a commission ranging from 2% up to in some cases 75% of the sale price.

The range of products are as wide as your imagination most online retailers have an affiliate scheme so you can refer customers and receive a commission on items such as cameras, holidays, electrical goods or even online betting / poker sites. These tend to offer in the region of 5% commission on sales.

You can also sell a huge range of E-books or E-based products which often offer 50% upwards commission so can be very lucrative.

Most companies running an affiliate scheme will pay you a percentage of the sale price but some companies especially online casino offer you a choice

i) a standard one off payment for each new customer signing up with them or

ii) a percentage of the profits that they make from the customers you introduce to them. This can be a bit of a dilemma - take the one off payment or wait for potential future residual income - if you introduce a couple of clients who go on to become high rollers then you could be on for a number of years of a nice regular income.

Affiliate products can be marketed on your website, in your blog, or as a link in your E-mails. All you do is sign up to the programme of your choice (nearly always free to do ), you are then give an link of code which can easily be cut and pasted onto your webpage, blog or e-mail. Your customers then click on any link they are interested in and get automatically transferred to the landing site of the company who’s product you are selling.

A Cookie or bookmark is automatically stored on the companies website so they can ensure that any purchase made by your customer is credited to your account. Easy!

Well, it is easy but then the question is do you want to make a few extra pounds ($’s or €’s) each week or build this into a serious part-time or full time business? If it is that latter then you need to look into marketing your product, website or blog etc to reach a much wider audience. How to do this is a whole subject in its own right.

How you can profit from it.

Know your product

You need to be somewhat knowledgeable on the product to be able to promote it first. Buy the product yourself and list down all the benefits you can find. If that is really not possible, you should research on the product and read up testimonials and find as much as you can about it.

Traffic

The most vital and pertinent aspect to your success. Not only must you attract a large enough volume of traffic, but also targeted traffic - People interested in the products that you sell and are willing to buy. How do you achieve this? Simply by doing targeted advertising. Advertise only in places where there are targeted audiences. Google adwords is an excellent tool for doing this.

Some Traffic Generators

Article Submission. Just like this article. Endeavour to write a few a day and submit diligently to the various article directories out there. This is a very powerful back link generator and the traffic quality that you will be getting is also very high

Forum posting. Again, this is a very powerful free tool. It allows you to make intelligent comments and let you link to noticed at the same time. When you are familiar with the community enough, you may even blatantly promote your website to them!

After I had my son, I quit my job as a pit boss at the casino after having worked there nine years. It wasn’t that I was unhappy there; I just wanted to be a full-time mom at home. A few weeks after quitting, I realized I needed something to keep me busy, and possibly make a little extra spending money.

First, I tried online surveys, but they didn’t work out. Or at least, I didn’t make what they were promising. I thought I’d get at least a few surveys per day, at $10 or more each. It’s been two months now and I’ll be surprised if I made more than $5. Most of the incentives include being entered into sweepstakes of $1000 or more. Great for some, but I’ve never been lucky to win anything like that.

Next, I tried applying to some work at home jobs through a database that lists available jobs. I found two sites, and I had to pay to access both. Not a lot, mind you, but it still seemed like a bit of a joke. I must’ve applied to at least 2-3 dozen jobs online and maybe heard back from ONE company. And it turned out to be some sales program. No thanks.

Lastly, I decided maybe starting some kind of home business might be the ticket. However I didn’t want to have to sell anything, or do any kind of telemarketing. That somewhat limited my choices I guess, but I’m just not a salesperson type. The first company that contacted me sounded promising at first, as it was run by moms who worked at home. But after looking into it more, I realized it involved lots of selling, a lot of money to invest in the company, and the most I could make from it was maybe $150/month…if I was lucky! After mulling it over for a couple of days, the company called me back to ask if I was interested in joining up. I said “No thanks but I don’t want to be a slave for only $150 a month. I can make more than that working two weeks at Starbucks!” Sure, $150 a month might be all fine and dandy for some people, but for the amount of money I had to invest, and the amount of selling I would’ve had to do, it wasn’t worth it for me. I wanted to make more money than that to make it worth my time.

So finally, after filling out a few “Home Business Match-Up” surveys, I received an email for this one company that told me I could make up to $300 over and over. Naturally I was skeptical. Who wouldn’t be? However, when I went to the website and called the hotline number, everything they said made sense. I checked them out on the Better Business Bureau and another similar site, and they looked to be legitimate. So I figured…what the heck?

Within a couple of weeks I was on my way to making money online by being an affiliate for Windows Casino. A week later, I added Amazon.com to my site. I made a short Power Point ad for my site and emailed it to everyone I knew. I’ve had lots of traffic and things are looking up. Some people said this company was a scam. Others said they’ve made some good money from it. Those people were the ones who made the effort and advertised their site on their own. It’s been my opinion that you get out of it what you put into it. If you just sit back and wait for something to happen, nothing will.

The great thing about being an affiliate is that it’s free to sign up. They provide you with banners and text for your site and 24/7 access to view your sales/tracking reports. I’ve signed up with several affiliates now and I’m marketing/advertising each one on various forums etc. It’s great fun and I’m enjoying it. And, if I don’t make a lot of money from this business, I’ve definitely learned a lot to help me in the future.

If this sounds like something you might be into, by all means, check out my site and hear what they have to say. You’ll be glad you did!

I am going to list down 3 ways in which you can get great streams of quality traffic at no costs at all. This will help you immensely

Free quality traffic stream #1

What are you reading now? Why an article of course! This is one of the greatest and most targeted ways of getting traffic. I would even go a step further and say that it is better then Adwords. Because it is free and because you would not have a problem with click fraud!

What you should do is first get a free website and set it to redirect to your affiliate link. Next pump out at least 3 articles a day submitting to at least 5 directories for a month. All these 3 articles should be on the same topic promoting the same product. The results and sales you will get at the end of the month will astonish you. Try it.

Free quality traffic stream #2

Create a blog specifically on the niche or topic you want to promote. This is a great mouthpiece for your product. You get organic search traffic from the major search engines and traffic from search engine is pure gold. What you need to do is to get high quality content to be posted in your blog. Remember the articles you written earlier? Post them here! You can even earn Adsense income by doing this! This is a great cash generator.

Free quality traffic stream #3

Forum posting. This has to been one of the least utilized methods of getting traffic simply because it seems to be such a hassle and a chore posting comments in forums. You do realize nothing ventured nothing gained. There is no other ways of doing it except by posting valuable comments or opinions. The amount of one way back links you get are huge and you can gain credibility in that community. Just do not spam though, it is akin to suicide.

This article was born out of frustration and anger… anger aimed at affiliate program administrators who have very little concern for hard working affiliates.

I have had the rug pulled out from underneath me on several occasions, and frankly I am fed up. If you are considering joining a 2 tier affiliate program and the only payment option the administrator of the program has to offer you is PayPal, BEWARE!

By using PayPal as a processor for a 2 tier affiliate program, the merchant is in violation of PayPal’s terms of service and will eventually have to shut down the second tier. This creates a bit of a predicament for affiliates who put quite a bit of effort into recruiting other affiliates.

Advertising isn’t something you can simply pull the plug on at will, causing everything to come to a complete standstill. Ads you have placed in the past, some of them paid for out of your own pocket, can go on producing results for months or even years.

This is the part that angers me the most!

By not offering affiliates an alternate payment method, merchants can go on reaping the rewards for quite some time without actually having to compensate their affiliates.

If you happen to own a web site you are also faced with the task and cost of making modifications. Either that, or continue to send free traffic and create affiliate signups for a merchant who is no longer willing to pay you for this service. Each new affiliate who signs up not only becomes a potential money earner for the merchant by making sales, they are also added to the merchant’s personal mailing list and therefore becomes a potential customer as well.

This is one sweet deal for the affiliate program administrator… not so good for the affiliate.

Another very unfair practice concerning affiliate programs that is very wide spread on the internet is the placing of affiliate signup links on sales pages. There are actually times when I have seen two links on a sales page, one at the top of the page and one at the bottom.

I have sent countless emails to affiliate program administrators in an attempt to put an end to this practice; a practice which very effectively robs affiliates of their hard earned affiliate revenue. To be fair, most comply, but trying to persuade some is like beating your head against a brick wall.

Creating a separate landing page for affiliates to send traffic to is, in my opinion, a simple solution to the problem.

This is a subject I am very passionate about, and something that many other Internet Marketers and I have been fighting to put an end to for several years.

Granted, things are changing, but very slowly.

This is something many affiliates do not know yet know. It concerns affiliates and buyers alike.

Do you notice when you visit most sales pages, they have an “affiliates sign up”, “make money here” or “earn money” link which brings you to their affiliate sign up page?

Imagine this scenario, Mr. Affiliate visits the site through your affiliate link, he reads the sales copy and is impressed but the price $97 is quite an obstacle. He sees an “earn money now” link and clicks as he has been searching for this information all day. He then realizes he could get at 50% discount with the commission if he signs up with clickbank and buys through his own link.

The vendors do not want this to happen right? Wrong answer! The fact is they had intended to sell at $48.5(50%) of the price and so intentionally set it higher at $97. In addition to that, the affiliate link was prominently displayed so visitors could easily see it and sign up and get the discount. This make the buyer thinks he has got into a “winning” situation but in fact the vendor got the sale he wanted and an affiliate at the same time.

So what does it mean to you? Shouldn’t you be happy that you can get a discount on almost all books now? Wait a minute, what if you spent loads of time and money promoting that product and the visitors click on that “earn money” link? Lost money, lost time and lost commissions.

Now you know why these “affiliates sign up” or “earn money now” links does not seem so subtle anymore.

Affiliate Tip 1

Scan the sales copy before deciding whether it is worth promoting. This is a vital, essential and crucial step you must make. Rate it and ask yourself how convinced you are on a scale of ten. Scan the page for any “Earn money” links.

Affiliate Tip 2

Credibility is important. Look at the testimonials; make sure it is not any dodgy testimonial from any Tom, Dick or Harry from some American state. Are there any photos and/or proof? Are they real people with real names and websites? Do a “mock” payment with your affiliate link all the way till they ask you for your credit card. Do you see your affiliate nick at the bottom of the page? You should be seeing it.

Affiliate Tip 3

Mail the vendor. See how responsive and how sincere he is in recruiting affiliates. This is the ultimate litmus test to determine if the vendor cares for his affiliates.
