Add You - 6 Steps To Success In Affiliate Marketing
It was a sound I hadn't heard before, a 'ping' followed by a long silence. This sequence was repeated until the executive answered his phone. This distinctive ring tone was like the sound a NASA deep space probe might make as it searches the outer reaches of our solar system. While this executive was one of more than a dozen seated in a non-descript conference room, this distraction was enough to break our concentration and further prohibit a few key messages from developing out of his organization's presentation for a multi-million dollar opportunity. I started thinking about NASA's Galileo probe crashing into Jupiter's moon, Europa, while the executive answered his phone. Now there was one long ping followed by continuing silence. As he hung up his phone, I wondered why voice mail was even invented. How does a speaker compete

Here are 6 Power Steps that will assist you in your Affiliate Marketing venture.
1. Choice of Company
The company that you're going to represent must be established. It must be credible and have an excellent track record. Remember that you are going into a joint venture with them to promote their product or service. Here are other factors that you should take into account:
(a) The company must have products or services that are unique, of value, and are in demand.
(b) The company should provide excellent support, training and resources to assist you to promote their products or services.
(c) There must be excellent tracking employed by the company to ensure that you will be credited for all your referrals. The tracking should credit you even when your prospects make a purchase months later.
(d) The commission rate must be attractive. For ebooks, softwares and virtual products, an acceptable commission rate should be between 40% to 60%. Commission payments for physical products are normally lower, between 5% to 15%.
(e) The company should pay commissions on at least 2 tiers. This will make it attractive for you to refer others to join you since you will be paid a percentage on their sales.
2. Cloak your referral links
There are many affiliates who lost their commission because their prospects 'change' the referral links. These affiliates took all the trouble to promote the products or services but the commissions due to them are 'hijacked' by the prospects because the prospects realized that these are referral links and therefore changed it to their own link with their own user name.
In order to avoid this from happening you should CLOAK your referral link. This will hide your referral link. There are various ways of doing this. Here are some ways:
(a) Use a sub-domain name.
(b) Use a tracking URL. You can get this from many companies that provide such services such as Ad-Alyzer, Adminder and Hyper Tracker.
You can get a FREE tracking service from:
(c) Use a Free Service that shortens your 'long' URL.
(d) There are many softwares available such as Affiliate Defender and Instant Affiliate Masker.
3. Test and Track your Promotions
It is important to test and track all of your Ads and promotional activities. You should be able to know the ROI(Return On Investments) on all you various campaigns. This will enable you to zero in on those that are productive and provide you with the highest ROI. You will avoid those that do not produce the expected results.
You could use the tracking services mentioned in step 2 above.
4. Build an Opt-In List
Most affiliates send their prospects to the web sites of the company that they are promoting. They may end up making a few sales and receiving some commission. However, that's all that they will receive. They have worked hard to convince the prospects but they have no further contact with these prospects. These prospects are now in the opt-in-list of the Affiliate companies that they are representing.
The smart thing to do is to capture the details of the prospects to build your own opt-in list before sending these prospects to the Affiliate company web site. There are 2 ways to do this:
(a) Set up you own web site and collect the email addresses and names of your prospects before sending them to the Affiliate company web site. You should create a web form to capture the email addresses and names. This can be done using HTML or if you are using an autoresponder, you'll normally be able to generate the web form with the autoresponder.
This web form can be set up on your web site or as a pop-up.
(b) Plug into the systems set up by various companies on the Internet. How it works is that you'll be provided with a 'special' URL to promote. When your prospects click on this URL, they will be directed to an 'emotional' flash presentation. At the end of the presentation, they will be required to fill in a short questionnaire. There are 2 benefits here. You'll be pre-qualifying your prospects and you will have a copy of the questionnaire that they filled it. This will make it easier for you to follow-up with them.
5. Autoresponder
The autoresponder is the heart beat of any Internet business. It has been discovered that 71% of Internet sales are made after 7 contacts.
It is therefore important that you follow up with your prospects. This is why the use of autoresponder is crucial to your success. Here is one that I own: TIMM Reply – http://www.timmreply.com

Stories are powerful tools for persuaders. Compelling storytelling automatically creates involvement and attention with your audience. We can all think of a time when we were in an audience and not paying attention to the speaker. We were off in our own world when all of a sudden we perked up and started to listen because the speaker had begun to tell a story. We sat up, attentively listened attentively, took note of what was being said, and wanted to know what would happen next. Whenever you sense your audience is starting to wander, you should have a relevant story ready. Notice I said "relevant." You can capture attention by telling a story but you will lose long-term persuasiveness if your story does not relate to you or your topic. When your stories work well to underscore your main points, your presentation

If anyone sat me down at the beginning of 2006 and told me how challenging being my own woman in business was going to be, I might have bailed right then.Sure one small business owner warned: "You will be making constant calls to get business. Even the people who want to hire you and say they'll call soon need prodding." He went on, "So imagine the follow-ups you'll need to do with the lukewarm?"Another successful business couple, who had just celebrated nine years on their own, urged me to make sure I stick with it for at least a year or two before I plan on seeing major results. They told me they made some dumb mistakes their first year in business.Armed with some of this wisdom, I just knew I wouldn't be a sad statistic. But I also, perhaps stupidly, thought my experience would be different.What I discovere
