For the longest time, I had this nagging feeling that my authority sites or other niches were going dead because I didn’t have the time or energy to tweet something to every one of them at multiple times throughout the day.  I’d have to focus all my energy throughout the day and neglect other areas of my business, or I’d have to hire a full-time staffer just to do social media marketing.  (which is big business these days).

As I’m building my latest niche site, I got to thinking:  “How can I simplify the Twitter/Facebook experience for me but still connect with my visitors?”

Introducing Tweet Adder – The Automatic Tweet Scheduler

My productivity levels are really high from 5 am to 9 am and as I’m finding different articles, blog posts, pictures, and crap to share – my mouse clicker want to post and repost and repost but my instincts tell me that posting 10 links or sayings within an hour is overkill, unprofessional and asks for “unfollows!”  If you’re still using the old software that I mentioned years ago here: How to Use Twitter for Business, then you know that company never updated their software and the system didn’t quite work as planned.

So why not repost those same 10 but spread them out throughout the day.  Now, you can with Tweet Adder!  I just downloaded mine:

The Tweet Adder Features

• Schedule your tweets to post throughout the day.
• Set the scheduler to post every ___ minutes.
• Set the schedule to retweet from different users.
• Have other accounts retweet your posts.
• Set the Twitter scheduler to retweet keywords.
• There are NO links back to this software (I didn’t pay to brand your software, right?)

These five reasons alone were enough to get me to try the free version.

The Tweet Adder Advanced Features

• You someone follows you, you can auto follow them back.
• Can’t think of a tweet? Use the Tweet Generator feature.
• Set Auto-Replies for people who follow you.
• Create a Multiple Step Twitter Followup Campaign for Your Follows and Retweeters
• URL Shorteners (automatically)
• MY FAVE:  Add symbols to your Tweets! (stars, arrows, smileys, crosses)

This will save you a ton of time if you have multiple niches (or even one niche).  Because you can set it and forget it.  It’s the true Ron Pupaul Set It and Forget It Twitter Software!

Twitter Etiquette

Follow the three rules of twitter (and this software makes it easy breezy).

1. Twitter Etiquette Rule #1:  When someone follows you, follow them back.
2. Twitter Etiquette Rule #2:  When someone retweets you, thank them.
3. Twitter Etiquette Rule #3:  You have to give retweets to receive retweets.  The more you give – the more you get.  Very simple.

With Tweet Adder, you can automatically follow someone who follows you.  That takes care of Twitter Etiquette Rule #1.  Then, you can schedule messages to be sent automatically to people who retweets you.  That takes care of Twitter Etiquette Rule #2.  Then, you can automatically retweet keywords or other users.  It all happens automatically with this software.  That’s why this gets my HIGHEST recommendation.

A couple of months ago, I took a product and turned it into a $17 offer and stuck it in my members area.  The product was called, “How to Advertise on Facebook for Network Marketers“.  The idea is simple.  Facebook hates anything to do with MLM (because they would have a million of the same ads which would end up looking like Yahoo circa 1998). The video training series shows you how to circumvent the system to get your ads approved fast.  As I uploaded the videos to the membership section, I reviewed everyone of them.  I was mesmerized by the training, because it was so detailed and over the top that I had to take every single step to try it out for myself.

Here’s the thing:  Just because the product says “for network marketers” doesn’t mean that the same Facebook advertising rules don’t apply to affiliates.  They do.  Affiliates can use the same system.. the same advertising structure.. the same trick and get phenomenal results.

After a month of finally testing and retesting, I think I have it!  My ads are finally getting approved fast – and my conversions are through the roof.  As I’m writing this – I see four new Clickbank commissions come in for a total of $258. I checked the Facebook stats:  I spent $4.18 to get $258 in commissions with one product. This is the real deal.

Why My Conversions on Facebook Are Really High

Why do you think conversions on Facebook would be higher than on Google?  The secret is to match the product with the fanpage.  So the fans automatically love the product – so if they see an ad for it – they are going to click it and buy it.

Cluephone just went off for most newbies and a few super affiliates.

How to Advertise on Facebook for Affiliates

Routines and Rituals:  I’m always talking about getting into a “profit” routine where the actions you take everyday lead to your financial success.  You’ve seen blueprint after blueprint, and you still seem stuck.  Every morning, when I wake up – I know that it’s PPC time.  Time to tweak campaigns.. see what’s winning.. see what’s not.  Lower bids..  Increase bids..  Increase targets.. Decrease targets..  Laser Focus Targets..

And that’s what I love finding:  The Laser Focus Targets that bring in a huge ROI.  That one product to market that matches so perfectly that you get a 10 to 20 times return of investment.   One of my most successful ads (as seen below) has been rejected over and over again by Facebook, and I’m running out of different ways to change it up to meet their guidelines.  This ad below – I cannot find ANYTHING in it that violates the rules of Facebook.  Take a look at the ad below, and see if you can find a way to improve it to get it to pass:

Blogging

• How to Start a Blog That Matters: Want to know my inspiration for blogging and how to start one that really matters. This is the complete training.
• My WordPress Theme is Called Freshlife: I have used this theme for SuperAffiliate and Kit Elliott w/ Kit Elliott.

Email Marketing

• Aweber: The best autoresponder and email marketing system I’ve found. If you’re not capturing and following up with your leads, you’re not in business. It’s a simple as that. Aweber is affordable, very easy to use, and can grow with you as your business grows. I’ve tried many others, but have always come back to Aweber. Must Have.
• Popup Domination: This is the software I use for the opt-in form that “magically” appears over this blog. Works great and gives me an extra opportunity to capture leads. Recommended. (Works with Aweber)
• Ultimate Footer Popup: This is another piece of software that “slides” an opt-in box UP at the bottom of a sales page, blog, etc. Another unique method I’ve used to capture leads. (Works with Aweber.)

Website/Squeeze Page Design

• Optimize Press: Before Optimize Press, it was common for me to spend $500 to $1,000 or more to have a designer create an opt-in page or sales letter page from scratch. After Optimize Press, I can now “click and create” professional-looking opt-in pages, sales pages, membership sites, and more. It’s like getting unlimited website design services for a one-time fee of $97. Another must-have tool that’s indispensable.
• My Adsense WordPress Theme: This is the WordPress theme that makes it easy to setup and drop your adsense in the most profitable zones.
• Affiliate Review Templates: Find some products – add a review template that converts your traffic to buyers. These are the best out there.
• Niche Templates: I like being a members of Niche Templates because they find the niches for me and send me the complete ready to go templates. I just have to add SEO with SENuke (and I’m in profit!)

Membership Software

• Digital Access Pass: This is the software that I use for membership sites like WealthWorld (and download pages). This is most advanced and simple to use plugin for WordPress. You drop it in and protect pages. Works with most shopping carts.

Viral Marketing

• Viral PDF Generator: I love this service. With VPG, you can create viral pdf reports that are 1-click rebrandable. You can create “free to rebrand” reports for your opportunity… or reports that customers must pay to rebrand. Lots of options, all explained by the creator of VPG, James Grandstaff.

Time Management

• Nozbe: I’d be lost without my Nozbe account. With so many projects going on simultaneously, personal activities, appointments, etc., I love being able to access and organize ALL of this from any computer, my iPhone, and iPad. If you need an organizational system that really works, I highly recommend testing out Nozbe for yourself. (I’d be lost without it)

Affiliate Marketing Training

• Affilorama: It’s not only the quality of this training that’s surprising. It’s that it’s free. Over 100 hours of video lessons, tools, training. If you’re asking yourself, “How in the heck do I get traffic?”, then you need to create an account at Affilorama and go through their free training. Highly recommended.

SEO and Traffic

• SeNuke: This is the complete all-in-one solution for getting the top spot for ANY keywords. You can even start your own SEO business with this do it for you tool. I do SEO twice a week and “set it and forget it” for the entire week!
• Free Advertising Academy: This is an eye-opening course by Jeff Gardner that will get you in the “marketing mindset” and will show you how to get free traffic to ANY product/offer or service. Rated A on IMReviews.

Twitter Management for Multiple Niches

• Tweet Adder: This was the complete eye-opening software that changed the game for me. This allows me to spread my posts out over time, schedule tweets, automatically reply to followers and retweet (all on autopilot. It’s been a lifesaver for my multiple niches and really is the key component for creating a lot of interaction with my different niches!

Video Player

• Easy Video Player: Most of the big players out there are using Easy Video Player. You upload your video, add some clever features, and copy the code. Easily embed video in ANY website using this plugin.

Virus and Malware Protection

• Anti-Virus Elite: Back in 2009, this site got hit with a malware, and I lost 5 years of blog posts. Using this software, I was able to keep it free and clear of any viruses and now, we’re dominating the search engines once again.

Other Opportunities I Make Money In

• Empower Network: I joined Empower for multiple reasons: The founders are smart, successful guys in the industry with integrity. The products are evergreen and in-demand by millions of network marketers worldwide. The marketing system is already set up and ready to go. Oh yeah… and it pays out 100% commissions and recurring residual income. When I ran through my “Opportunity Review Checklist”, it had everything I look for – so I joined. If you’re interested in finding out more, check out my Empower Network Review.
• MatchRatePLUS: This company offers a patent-pending 25% Cash Back services to U.S. business owners on their credit and debit card processing fees. I joined, because I’ve had a friend in the credit card processing field for years – and he’s made a lot of money in this industry. I like MatchRate, because it’s free to join, they give you all of the training you need to get started, and you can get paid as Agents you refer share this service with merchants. So far, I’ve signed up 675 Agents, my total “Agent Organization” is at 8,127, and my monthly residual income increases by 30% per month.

Right now, with technology moving towards a plug-n-play model, it has never been easier for to start your own “online” community.  And I found three WordPress themes that you’re going to love.

Have you heard of Huffington Post? Huffington Post is an online newspaper started by Arianna Huffington back in 2005 (who I just don’t get).  The reason I don’t get her is because in the 90′s, she started her first site called Resignation calling for the impeachment of President Clinton.  Her niche:  Conservatives.   Now, In the 00′s, she targets a different niche:  Liberals.  99% of her readers are loyalists to President Clinton.  In less than a year, it took off, and Arianna had instant VC money.  I don’t get her, but I do get the fact that AOL bought her site 5 years later for an outstanding 315 million dollars.  $315 Mill eee on.   What’s a fly sitting on a turtle’s back say?  Wheeeee!

The creators of the SuperAffiliate Theme (this one right here) – Theme Junkie has created a new theme that looks identical to Huffington Post (and it’s under $30!)

Looking to Start the New Perez Hilton Gossip Website?

So maybe firing up the political storm is not your cup of tea.  With shows like The View, The Chew, The Chat, The Voice, Gossip Websites will always be popular.  Have you heard of Perez Hilton?  Another person I don’t get, but the numbers don’t lie.  His blogs bring in a cool six figures per month (and there are no affiliate links!)  The niche:   The Gossip Crowd.  He said, She said stuff.  Controversy and starting fights are the best way to get readers riled up to keep coming back for more.  PLUS, they are more likely to tweet and Facebook like creating a viral traffic explosion, and Perez Hilton is right there to cash in on the simple two column blog.

Want to Start Your Own Wine TV (Like Gary Vaynerchuck)

So you grew up in an industry where your family had a wine store, and the whole industry becomes embedded in your skin.  What do you do?  Do you leave the family business to find your passion or do you accept your talents and start a huge following thirsty for this week’s wine rants.  If your Gary Vaynerchuck, you start Wine TV cuz you were born this way baby, and drinking wine is a sport that requires that special skill (that I just don’t have).    Smells like cedar wood.. with an aroma of raspberry and peaches.. throw in a smoky this and that – and voila’ all of a sudden you have raving fans and a successful blog, book and consulting firm which has taken off to the turn of millions of dollars (Robin Leach voice).

The secret behind this:  Turn the camera on you and just talk about your passion (that one thing you’re excited or mad about).

JOKE: Why does Gary need a cameraman if the camera sits on a tripod.  ANSWER:  He’s too drunk to find the record button.  SNAP!

For this one, you’re going to need a Video Theme, and I have just the one.  Check out this video theme:

The day has come when programmers are releasing some high-quality marketing tools that marketers can immediately plug-into without having all the techie knowledge and without paying huge monthly fees!

I’ve noticed a trend in affiliate marketing where people are embedding their affiliate links inside their videos.  (allowing users to click directly inside the video and go to their landing page or affiliate link!)

Here’s the newest software that lets you do EASILY!

Keyword:  How to Embed Affiliate Links in Video

How I Have Used Easy Video Player

So over the next month, I’m going back to these recommendations and updating with how I’ve used the plugin over the last couple of years.  I look at these “reviews” and think I’ve gotten a little lazy when it comes to detailing and updating these.

I finally sold a bunch of my niche sites and let the nonprofitable ones expire (started out with 1200+ websites and now, I’m down to 645!)  I’ve built a series of 12 websites in the network marketing training niche with Jeff Gardner.  You can signup as an affiliate at WealthWorld by clicking on this keyword:  Network Marketing Affiliate

Alot of the tools I use for affiliate marketing – I also use for corporate websites, membership sites, and backoffices.  In this backoffice, you’ll see two ways that I have used Easy Video Player.

First, the backoffice walkthrough video was uploaded to my Amazon through Easy Video Player.

Easy Video Player is very easy to use and ties directly into your Amazon AWS account.  It auto uploads each video to your Amazon AWS account so you don’t experience the pauses and buffering headaches.  Then, you can easily point and click to choose your player and any “inside” buttons that you want users to click inside the video.

Your videos can go viral as well.

Change Your Starting Video Graphic

You can easily change out your “starting video player graphic” in Easy Video Player. Below is my backoffice in Easy Video Player.  They make it easy to customize the player settings.  You’ll notice the size, allow fullscreen, auto buffer settings, auto play settings, allow pausing, video scaling, and player controls all in this one area of features.. (that’s just 10% of what this software does)

Tons of Viral Components Built-In

Each video – you can allow your viewers to embed the video on their site or even retweet/facebook it to their followers. All the while – your affiliate link is embedded inside!  Take a look at my screenshot below.  You can redirect people at the end of the video to ANY page you choose.  You can embed buttons and graphics inside the video and have them popup at any time (which I’m starting to do more and more of!)

This means that people are promoting your video with YOUR affiliate link inside. Enjoy the video and let me know what you think..  I think you can use this software for membership sites, affiliate reviews, blog posts like this one..

Complete Marketing System!

Deb has been talking about building a list, organizing emails, and building relationships with your list.  Keeping with this same spirit, I wanted to give you a screenshot and examples of follow up campaigns that automatically come with GetInfusionsoft.  Keyword:  Complete Marketing System

So you’ve signed up for Aweber or an autoresponder service, and now, it’s time to create autoresponder series.  But you set in front of the screen and writer’s block hits ya! Ever wanted to see a sample follow-up campaign?

The Complete Email Followup Schedule

When someone purchases anything from you – here’s the email campaign that you can use to build that relationship:

Followup Specs:

Audience-new customers
Trigger- as soon as they purchase from you
Purpose- build the relationship, overcome buyer’s remorse, increase customer satisfaction, plant the seeds of referral, and lead to future sales
Relationship to other campaigns- could put them in a value/education campaign at the end of the sequence. Simultaneously send cross sell, up-sell campaigns
Call to action- almost none, eventually lead to additional sales, and referrals

This follow-up is more about building relationships with your buyers than it is about promote promote promote.  Somehow – some guru’s have lost this sense about them.  They have a massive list, and since they get a 0.06% response rate everytime they promote something – that’s all they do.

Email – Promote

Email – Promote

Email – Promote

That’s annoying.

Well, let’s try building that relationship first so you have a customer for life!  If you would like a great, all-in-one marketing system – then you need to GetInfusionsoft. The only problem with Infusionsoft is that their email deliverability is a little less than Aweber.

I have joint ventured with Aweber to let you try Aweber for $1 PLUS you get my email training course automatically delivered to you when you take the $1 trial.  Click Here for the $1 Trial and Email Followup Campaigns.  You should see my company’s logo next to theirs as part of our joint venture to bring you even more quality training!

Empower Network is the brainchild of David Wood and David Sharpe which launched a few months ago.  Within the first 30 days, Empower Network paid out over $1 million in commissions to its members.  Within the first 56 days, Empower Network paid over $2 million in commissions and it’s taken off virally.

Now, with over 11,000 members blogging daily – Google is giving it significant link juice and I’ve seen a lot of Empower blogs ranking for many many keywords on page 1 of Google.

Empower Network Compensation Plan

People working from home and making money online are desperately searching for a new type of proven affiliate program that has a quick ROI and a potential to make a lot of money.  So the Empower Network Compensation Plan offers a lot of “triggers” that can really entice the home business crowd.   First, you can get started with Empower Network for as little as $25 per month and start building a residual income.  Second, you have the opportunity to buy the resell rights to three products right now with plans on adding more products to the Empower Network line later on.  Third, with all three products, an affiliate can get paid up to $625 per sale and build their monthly income since Empower Network pays out 100% directly to your bank account.

When your referrals start promoting their own, you get every 2nd, 4th, 6th, and every 5th sale after that.  This is incredibly brilliant when you see the “viral effect” in action.  That means that you recruit a few affiliates and you get paid on their effects.  (which could snowball into something big on its own).

Empower Network Products and System

Empower Product #1: The High SEO Blogging Platform

First, there’s the ready-to-go blogging platform which Google regards as an authority site since over 11,000 members use it.  That means you can use this authority site to promote your money sites, affiliate offers, and your own products and services and gain higher rankings in Google.  At $25 per month, it’s a no-brainer for people paying thousands in SEO already.

Empower Product #2:  The Inner Circle

I love product #2 because I’m always looking to “level-up” by learning from others.  When you interview many guru’s and successful people on how they made it, they all come to ONE common ingredient.  That ingredient is “always learning”.  They spend money on training programs, ebooks, masterminds, coaching, and more so they can get the unfair advantage.  School doesn’t stop at 12th grade or college – its’ a lifetime thing.  The Empower Network’s crew interviews six-figure and seven-figure earners on their techniques and strategies and this is delivered inside a password protected “inner circle”.

Empower Product #3:  The Costa Rica Intensive Seminar

Empower Network Co-Founder, David Wood, held a 3-Day intensive training event in Costa Rica – with some of the top marketing experts helping him teach. The price tag for the one-time event was $2,997 per person – plus travel, food, and lodging – and it sold out.

Fortunately, the entire event was caught on HD video – and it’s being made available to Empower Network Members for much, much less than the original $2,997 pricetag. There’s 11 hours of cutting-edge marketing strategies, methods, and techniques that show network marketers how to go from zero to six-figure and seven-figure incomes in their chosen opportunities.

Empower Network Scam

Are people making money?  I have seen many people in forums saying that they lost money with Empower Network and they feel cheated or scammed.  Then, when you dig a little further – you realize that those people may not have known how to setup their system.

First, while I admit that the system could be gamed because those people you refer could signup under themselves.  This means that the passup sales you want would NOT go to you.  This cuts off the flow of commissions, and I’ve been assured that the three people out of 11,000 who got caught have been banned and their accounts deleted.  Bye bye residuals.  So you’ve been warned!

Second, you can download a FREE setup guide for nontechnie people by clicking this link:  Empower Network Setup Guide (even if I didn’t refer you to this setup guide). The system is really easy to setup because it’s literally copy and paste and update.

1. You copy and paste your paypal email address or your authorize.net transaction key then click save.

2.  You copy and paste your aweber list so you can capture your leads.  I have teamed up with Aweber to train you if you do not know how to do this:  Click Here to Signup with Aweber for $1 and Get That Training!

3.  You upload your picture and fill in your profile – and you’re done.  That’s it.

Your new Empower Network system is ready to go!  AND you can still grab the setup guide if you need more step by step instructions and pictures.

Empower Network Review and Empower Network Bonus

While I’ve personally received 100% of my income back within minutes, I have to say that I fully recommend Empower Network because it passes the Super Affiliate test for building passive residuals.  Does it pay a residual?  YES.  Is there a viral component built-in – meaning can you refer others and get paid from the work they do?  YES.   Is it a hot product and is there a high demand for it?  YES.

I’m extremely happy with Empower Network, and there is a lot of buzz from David Wood and David Sharpe that there will be lots more products added to the Empower line which means you could celebrate bigger and bigger paydays on top of your already increasing monthly residual.

But I recommend you do your own due diligence like I did since everyone experiences different results, but I assure you that I am going all out to help you get started fast and get setup quickly.

Empower Network Bonus

First – when you create your Empower Network account by click here, you will get access to my private team area where you can download my bonus to you PLUS additional training and tools you can use to grow your network.

Second – the first and second bonus you get in my private team area is the SETUP guide and a viral report that you can rebrand with your Empower link inside.  The report is HOT and since the viral component is built-in, others can give it away or resell it so your network can grow virally with little effort.

Third – the third bonus you get is exclusive access to a FREE Traffic workshop that shows you exactly how I get traffic to my websites and money sites without paying a dime.  There are 9 videos total starting from beginner to advanced levels and each video is easy to understand for non-techie people and my advanced marketers will love module 3.

The Free Traffic Workshop is a $997 value.. I’ll be adding three professionally written reports that you can give away to your team.  Right now, there is ONE that you can use right now.  AND the setup guide, you can download right now and you can give to your team so they can get started quickly.

After that – I’ll be adding more and more training for my team and notifying you of any new strategies and reports as they come up.

The Death of Affiliate Marketing?

Some are calling it “The Death of Affiliate Marketing On Google.”

And while experience tells us that’s a pretty bold, over-the-top claim, affiliates interested in purchasing pay-per-click traffic through Google Adwords need to pay close attention to the lesson that follows.

Because sweeping changes have been taking place on Google’s ad network over the last six months that are going to forever change the face of affiliate marketing.

Affiliates with a “get-rich-quick” mentality will crash and burn.

While a handful of savvy affiliates committed to long-term business growth and success are going to enjoy increased market share.

You see Google is on a rampage of sorts right now. They’re purging their entire ad network of websites that offer visitors limited standalone value, tossing them out on their heads.

“How dare they?!?!,” you ask?

Well, keep in mind that Google is a business, plain and simple, not a philanthropic volunteer manager of all things search. And Google’s client is NOT you, the business owner, but rather the end users — the millions of people who visit their search engine to find information every day.

If Joe Public doesn’t find value in the websites that appear when they click on Google’s ads, then guess what? Joe Public will stop clicking on these ads — and Google won’t generate an income.

So no matter whether you’re interested in …

1. Ranking in Google’s organic (a.k.a. free) search results, or
2. You want to buy instant traffic from Google via Adwords

You need to step back and examine your overall site and business model from Google’s perspective.

Maturing From A Get-Rich-Quick Platform

Making your fortune with Google Adwords used to be this simple …

1. You signed up as an affiliate for a few related products
2. Built a small site to promote these products with limited content
3. Opened an Adwords account
4. Set up your ad campaign
5. Plugged in a credit card number
6. And voila…

Instant traffic and sales!

It was an easy formula to follow and an easy way to get rich.

Millions of dollars in affiliate commissions exchanged hands as the Adwords network slowly became flooded with mini affiliate sites, jammed with little more than banners, affiliate links, and a few hyped up paragraphs of sales copy.

And by 2005, Google realized they had a problem.

Their ad network was sinking under the weight of garbage websites that were providing searchers with little value.

So the sweeping changes began…

Secrets of the Seven-Figure Income Super Affiliate

Fast-forward to today and you’ll see the golden age is now over and success with Google Adwords is not nearly so easy.

Yes, there are still affiliates making their fortunes with the help of Adwords, spending $10,000+ PER DAY on clicks and generating profits of well over seven figures annually!

We see daily proof of SellHealth affiliates making their fortunes using this 500lb gorilla of PPC networks.

But these are savvy entrepreneurs who:

1. Invest considerable time and money creating a unique experience for their website visitors.
2. Carefully balance thoughtfully chosen promotions with valuable content.
3. Establish an ongoing relationship with their market via email, social networking, forums, etc.
4. Leverage the expertise of third-party Adwords gurus to hone their skills.
5. Commit to ongoing testing, never settling and never assuming what works today is going to work tomorrow.

If you think this sounds like a lot of work, you’re right. It is.

Fresh, relevant content generation has become the name of the game.

And creating ANY sort of content — whether it’s articles, blogs, videos, discussion forums, audio interviews, etc — can be time consuming and costly.

That’s why now, for the first time since the birth of Adwords, there’s a fresh, potentially lucrative opportunity for committed affiliates to push ahead and gain market share as Google strips their ad network of imposters.

Before You Spend A DIME On Google Adwords

You CAN make money with Google Adwords as an affiliate. Plain and simple. But it’s also frighteningly easy to lose your shirt if you do it WRONG.

Over the years, we’ve heard endless horror stories of site owners “turning on” their Adwords campaigns, walking away for a week, and coming back to bills in the $1000s — with NO sales to show for it!

So this lesson aims to offer you education and protection:

• Giving you an introductory overview of the steps you must take to be successful…
• While pointing you to valuable resources that will help further your education and keep you from making costly mistakes!

And the first, most important lesson, is this:

No matter whether you’re aiming to rank at the top of Google’s organic (a.k.a. “free”) search results, or you’re purchasing traffic in their Adwords network…

Google always favors RELEVANT websites with fresh, quality content!

It’s naive to think you can slap up a five-page website jammed with affiliate links, turn on Google Adwords, and then relax while the commissions roll in.

Sure. Google will happily take your money…

But expect to pay exorbitant costs per click that make the mere thought of turning a profit laughable.

If you want to:

• Earn high visibility in the network
• Attract MORE clicks to your ads
• While paying LESS per click
• And enjoying top sales conversions

You will need to commit to developing your website as a quality resource, with standalone value.

Understanding A Key Google Metric: Quality Score

In the good ol’ days, bidding for traffic was simple.

You told Google the maximum cost-per-click you were willing to pay for any single keyword. And you were able to see what “rank” your ad earned in the paid listings for this price.

Bid more, rank higher… Bid less, rank lower…

Today it’s not NEARLY this simple.

You still choose your keywords, your maximum bid for each keyword, and your total daily budget. But Google has ultimate control over your listing position and impression frequency (i.e. how often your ad appears).

And it’s all driven by a key metric that Google calls “Quality Score.”

Here’s Google’s definition of it:

“The AdWords system calculates a ‘Quality Score’ for each of your keywords. It looks at a variety of factors to measure how relevant your keyword is to your ad text and to a user’s search query. A keyword’s Quality Score updates frequently and is closely related to its performance. In general, a high Quality Score means that your keyword will trigger ads in a higher position and at a lower cost-per-click (CPC).“

Simply put, Quality Score is a measure of how closely your ad and landing page match the needs and objectives of searchers for any given keyword.

Each keyword is assigned a “Quality Score” out of 10.

A score of 0-3 out of 10 is considered POOR.
A score of 4-6 out of 10 is considered AVERAGE (room for improvement).
A score of 7+ out of 10 is GOOD/EXCELLENT.

Generally speaking, keywords with LOW quality scores are displayed less frequently and will cost you more per click. And keywords with HIGH quality scores are displayed more frequently, closer to the top of the ad listings, and can eventually cost you LESS per click.

So as you can see, it’s in your best interest to create a campaign that optimizes your Quality Score for each keyword!

It All Begins With Your Keyword Research

So now that you understand the end goal is to run a campaign that earns high “Quality Scores,” we can reverse engineer the process it takes to get there.

And no big surprise, a good PPC campaign both begins and ends with keyword selection — i.e. brainstorming the list of words and phrases that potential clients are using to find your products, services, and information.

It’s a process that most affiliates find deceivingly simple…

Yet it’s EASY to overlook keywords that receive high volumes of searches… neglect keywords with limited competition… or choose the wrong keywords entirely.

Building a comprehensive keyword list will begin with a simple 20-minute pen-to-paper brainstorming session.

But it should not END there.

Because there are some fantastic research tools available that allow you to tap into metrics collected by search engines on their daily queries to see:

1. What keyword combinations your market is searching
2. How often they’re searching each individual term
3. How much competition exists for each keyword
4. Popular misspellings, plurals, abbreviations, and phrasings you may not have thought of!

Plus much more!

The two keyword selection tools we recommend you start with are:

Google Adwords Keyword Tool – FREE! https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

The obvious benefits of using Google’s keyword tool are (1) it’s free, (2) it’s Google-specific, and (3) it will save and import keywords you like into Adwords.

Personally, we’re big fans of this tool; it’s a great place to start your research. However, the drawbacks are that you aren’t offered the same brainstorming and list management tools offered by paid services.

Wordtracker — http://www.wordtracker.com

After experimenting with a variety of paid keyword research tools over the years, Wordtracker remains our standout favorite for non-techies.

It offers comprehensive tools that facilitate brainstorming and help you dig deep into the search results to locate valuable “long tail keywords” that have decent search volume but limited competition.

Plus, their keyword list management tools allow you to save multiple projects and lists for exporting into Adwords.

Wordtracker is not cheap, but they offer multiple levels of subscription and a free trial to get you started. A worthwhile investment.

Group Your Keywords Into Categories

When you brainstorm that first list of keywords, you’ll probably come up with roughly 20 variations of terms and phrases your potential clients might search before you run dry.

That’s when you’ll turn to the keyword research tools we’ve referenced above.

From there, your keyword list will explode.

Because chances are good these research tools are going to give you literally HUNDREDS of keyword variations that simply haven’t crossed your mind.

And that’s when you need to start methodically grouping your related keywords.

You won’t run the SAME ad to all of your keywords. For example, if you were promoting GenF20, our best-selling anti-aging nutritional supplement, each of these keywords would require a different ad:

• “anti aging supplement”
• “reduce wrinkles”
• “look younger”
• “improve memory”
• “feel younger more energy”

If you used the SAME ad for all of these keywords, your Quality Score would be terrible, your costs-per-click would skyrocket, and you would see pathetically low click-through rates.

Why? Because people searching these terms all have different needs.

So instead, you want to group similar keywords into categories with the plan to:

1. Write individual ads for each keyword group
2. Create individual landing pages on your site for each keyword group

This will not only help to ensure you enjoy a high Quality Score, it improves your chances of enjoying high sales conversions as well!

Build Landing Pages Specific To Each Of These Keyword Categories

Once you’ve brainstormed and categorized your list of keywords, it’s time to create individual landing pages for each keyword group.

For example, let’s say you’ve brainstormed three keyword groups for GenF20:

Keyword Category #1 – Anti-Aging Supplement

anti aging supplement
anti aging supplements
anti aging natural supplement
best anti aging supplement
anti aging dietary supplement
anti aging vitamin supplement

Keyword Category #2 – Look Younger

look younger
looking younger
look younger instantly
look 20 years younger
make yourself look younger
look five years younger
look much younger

Keyword Category #3 – Reduce Wrinkles

reduce wrinkles
how to reduce wrinkles
reducing wrinkles
reduce face wrinkles
reduce facial wrinkles
products to reduce wrinkles
products that reduce wrinkles

You could point all of your ads to the SAME destination URL – like your homepage at www.yoursite.com.

But if your site reviews a wide range of health supplements, it’s unrealistic to expect the visitor who has arrived through your “Reduce Wrinkles” ad to spend 2-5 minutes exploring your website to find info relevant to their needs.

• If they don’t see what they’re looking for within the first 10 seconds of entering your website, they’ll leave…
• You’ll have wasted good money on clicks…
• And Google will punish your naivety with a low Quality Score. (Less visibility, less traffic, higher costs-per-click!)

Instead of driving traffic from your Adwords campaigns into your homepage, you should be creating custom landing pages for each keyword category.

For example, in this case you’d create:

Example:

• An “anti-aging supplements” landing page at www.yoursite.com/antiagingsupplements
• A “look younger” landing page at www.yoursite.com/lookyounger
• A “reduce wrinkles” landing page at www.yoursite.com/reducewrinkles

Each landing page would feature product recommendations, reviews, and content geared toward someone with the very specific focus of:

“anti aging supplements”
“looking younger”
“reducing wrinkles”

And each landing page would make liberal use of the keywords that appear in that specific keyword group (without overdoing it at the risk of being penalized by Google).

This will not only improve your Quality Score… it’s a proven strategy for improving your sales conversions, too!

Set Up Your Adwords Account

Once you’ve brainstormed your keywords, categorized them, and built keyword specific landing pages, you’ll be ready to set up your Google Adwords account.

Finally!

Google makes this process easy.

Go to http://adwords.google.com and click the “Get Started” button. You’ll be prompted through their sign up process, and in less than 5 minutes you’ll have a Google Adwords account.

Once inside, though, resist the urge to set up a campaign to run in the first 15 minutes. Google DOES make setting up your first campaign VERY easy because they want you to experience the addictive rush of “turning on” the flood of traffic to your website.

But be warned…

Newbies typically overlook settings and features that REDUCE your costs and IMPROVE your overall results!!!

An extra hour or two spent reading the educational resources recommended at the end of this article will help you navigate the Adwords interface like a professional and choose the best settings to maximize your overall profits.

Write Ads for “Groups” Of Keywords

The basics of writing an Adwords ad are simple. You have:

• 25 characters available for the headline
• 35 characters for a first line of ad text
• 35 characters for a second line of ad text
• 35 characters for a display URL

This includes spaces and punctuation!

Fortunately, Google Adwords makes an ad text editor available, which makes writing and brainstorming ads in this format a snap.

The general philosophy for writing effective ads is to:

1. Feature your keywords in the headline of your ad — this is an extremely effective, proven strategy, so start by doing this!
2. In the second and third lines, feature a specific, relevant benefit your website has to offer visitors — something directly related to the reason they’re performing a search for that specific keyword!
3. Feature the same relevant keywords in your display URLs whenever possible.

And this point can’t be overemphasized: Write ads in the same language your customer is searching and connect with your prospects on their terms, reflecting back the benefits they’re actively seeking.

Here is NOT the place to introduce new concepts, features, or brand names searchers are unfamiliar with. Save that for your sales process.

Optimize Your Adwords Settings

Once you’ve written keyword-specific ads that point to keyword-specific landing pages, you’re nearly ready to turn on the campaign!

Before you do, though, here are some quick tips for settings to check:

1. Turn OFF traffic from the Content Network. Under Campaign settings >> Select Networks & Devices >> Select “Let Me Choose” — and UNCHECK the boxes next to both the “Content Network” and “Search Partners.” This will ensure you ads only appear when people do direct searches on Google — a better, safer place to start when you’re new to Adwords.
2. Choose “exact match” over “broad match” and “phrase match” for each of your keywords to start. This limits your risk by ensuring that only people who type in the EXACT keyword you’ve specified will see your ad. Once you’ve determined what exact match keywords work, you can begin testing broad and phrase match.
3. Include a list of “negative keywords” for each ad; words and phrases you don’t want the ad to appear for. (Simply add the keywords to your list with a minus sign “-” in front of them.) This is a strategy used by ALL of the most successful Adwords account managers. For example, if you sold food for pet rabbits, you might want to add “Easter Bunny” and “Easter Eggs” as negative keywords, so you don’t waste money on completely unqualified traffic.
4. Choose a keyword bid price LOWER than Google’s suggested bid price. It’s better to start LOW with your bids and daily budget, monitor the results, and increase slowly based on positive results.
5. Aim to have your ads appear within the first five listings — it’s the top eight to eleven ads that are rotated through the first five ad positions that appear on page one of Google in the search results. Your maximum bid, quality score, and click-through rate will all impact how often your ad appears.

Tips For Setting Your Daily Budget

Setting your daily budget in Adwords can be tricky.

If your website is new, you’ll need to experiment and should expect to lose money in the early days of your campaign as you figure out what you can afford to pay per click while remaining profitable.

On the other hand, if your website is established, it’s relatively easy to figure out the value of a single visitor to your website.

You calculate total profits for, say, 30 days. Divide this by the total number of visitors your website generated over this same timeframe. And you’ve got the total value of a SINGLE visitor to your website.

(Calculating this number using MORE data makes it MORE accurate.)

For example, let’s say your total commissions for the month of January were $1,500.00 — and your site generated 500 visitors during this time.

The total value of a single visitor = $1,500 divided by 500 = $3.00 per visitor.

This means you could afford to bid a maximum of $3.00 per visitor to break even.

We’ve really simplified this here; if you’ve got a big, complex site where you promote a wide variety of products, you should break this down by page, product, and keyword group.

And it’s worth noting, too, that organic traffic tends to convert sales at a higher rate than PPC traffic (people are less trusting of sites they click to via ads).

But at least this gives you a starting point!

To remain profitable, you can’t spend MORE per click than the value of a single visitor to your business!

Of course, that said, when Google asks you to set your daily budget, you need to try not to be too conservative or Google will give your ads low priority.

Tools To Help You Estimate Costs Per Click On Keywords:

Google’s Traffic Estimator Tool is supposed to help you estimate cost-per-click for any given keyword, but the results it returns are not always accurate.

You may wish to try www.KeyCompete.com or www.SpyFu.com.

Test and Track Your Results!

One of the most beautiful aspects of Adwords is that they’ve made it dead simple to test multiple ads to the SAME group of keywords.

Add as many text ads as you please, and Google will display them alternately, showing you the impressions, clicks, and clickthrough rates generated by each one. You can also control whether Google displays the ads equally, or favors the better performing ads.

To start, select “Rotate: show ads more evenly” to make sure you get accurate data for each ad.

Drive the traffic for each ad to a separate landing page. Then see which one performs better over time using Google’s Conversion Tracker, which gives you simple code to copy and paste into the thank-you page displayed after visitors take action (i.e. buy, subscribe).

3 More FREE Tools We Highly Recommend For Tracking Key Metrics:

Google’s Website Optimizer Tool – for testing multiple variations of landing pages.

Google Analytics – for comprehensive tracking of all your website traffic.

Further Your Education

We know from experience (and from writing some whopping-huge monthly commission checks)… Google Adwords can be an extremely valuable source of traffic for any affiliate business.

However, your success with it will be ultimately determined by your willingness to heed the advice of those who’ve walked before you.

It’s true that many affiliate go on to earn six- and seven-figure incomes using Adwords as their sole source of traffic. But Adwords marketing is NOT for the faint of heart and overzealous trail blazers can quickly find themselves holding a jaw-dropping credit card bill with no sales to show for it.

As we mentioned earlier, this lesson is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to affiliate marketing in Google Adwords.

It’s merely an introduction highlighting some of the more advanced strategies we see generating daily successes for our top affiliates.

So before you dive headlong into your first major Adwords campaign, you’d be well-advised to further your education with these industry leading resources:

Want To Achieve “Super Affiliate” Status?

Never heard the term “super affiliate” before?

These caped commission crusaders are the elite 2% of affiliates earning incomes that top six- and seven-figures annually.

• They write their own tickets in the affiliate networks…
• Businesses are frequently banging down their doors, BEGGING them to promote their products…
• And in some cases, super affiliates can get away with demanding even HIGHER commission cuts than networks advertise to newbies because their reach into the market is already so deeply entrenched…

Sound like somewhere you’d like to go with YOUR affiliate business?

Well, in the following lesson, we’re going to give you a 50,000 foot overview of how these “super affiliates” achieve their cult-like status.

And we think you’ll be surprised…

Because their secrets to success aren’t NEARLY as mysterious, advanced, or difficult to implement as you might currently believe. In fact, most super affiliates’ businesses are founded on just SEVEN key marketing strategies:

Strategy #1: Promote A Limited Number of Related Products

New affiliates make this mistake constantly, daily.

In fact, this exact moment a new affiliate is undoubtedly uploading yet ANOTHER webpage that looks like somebody vomited affiliate links all over it.

They’re excited, envisioning large commission checks rolling in. But 60 days from now they’ll likely lose motivation as their traffic remains little more than a trickle of 2-3 visitors per day and they generate ZERO sales.

So please, do the web community a favor. Do your retirement savings account a favor:

Don’t upload a webpage jammed with a mish-mash of unrelated affiliate products. This strategy simply doesn’t work!

Super affiliates know that specialization is key to online success.

Choose to promote a limited number of related products to a narrowly focused, well-defined niche market.

For example, instead of promoting a broad range of sexual health products to all women, you could promote women’s libido enhancers like Provestra to women who are postpartum… or women who are menopausal.  The health industry is a huge industry full of hungry buyers.  This is the perfect niche to specialize in.  If you are looking for a health affiliate program, then we use and recommend Sell Health.

Click Here for the Health and Wellness Affiliate Program

Or you could promote anti-aging supplements like GenF20 to men who are frustrated by memory loss associated with aging — instead of trying to reach EVERYONE interested in looking and feeling younger.

The formula is fairly simple:

1. Choose 2-3 related products that you believe in.
2. Figure out what problems these products solve.
3. Do keyword research to figure out what words and phrases people are typing into the search engines to locate these solutions.
4. See if the keyword research provides any insights into who is searching for these products/solutions and why.
5. Keep narrowing your focus until you locate a tightly related group of keywords with a reasonable volume of searches.
6. This tightly related group of keywords will become the foundation of your entire marketing campaign for these products.
7. And this is your niche!

Of course, the key to making this formula work is valid keyword research.

So we recommend reading our lessons on Google Adwords and Search Engine Optimization as both contain detailed information on performing keyword research that can be applied to narrowing the focus of your marketing campaigns to tightly focused niches.

Strategy #2: Dominate A Niche As A Leading Voice of Authority

Super affiliates are typically a force to be reckoned with in their chosen niches, dominating as the leading voice of authority.  Most affiliate confuse niche with the “make money” niche, and while making money is the overall goal – is it really the purpose or passion that you have?

Most passionate niches turn into money-making winners because the superaffiliate LOVES talking and blogging and interviewing others in the field.  Here are a few of my favorites:  Rugby, Sports, Pets, Dog Lovers, Dating, Weight Loss, Fitness, Muscle, and then take these niches and really focus on solving people’s problems.  They will follow you and refer others to you!  Ka-ching.  If you need help, read my guide to finding the perfect micro-niche.

And while this might sound like an impossible task to anyone new to affiliate marketing, rest assured it’s difficult, but achievable through persistent, consistent action.

Becoming the leading voice of authority in any marketspace typically means providing the best information.

And this is done by generating content, content, and more UNIQUE content in the form of articles, blogs, free reports, product reviews, free webinars (i.e. online seminars), video tutorials, video demonstrations, and more.

The volume of content you’ll need to make available will vary depending on your chosen niche market. Some niches are VERY tightly focused and have limited competition, so it’s easy to dominate quickly with less free content.

On the other hand, larger, more general niches usually require a more dedicated, ongoing approach to content creation.

Not sure what to write, blog, or create videos about?

Refer back to your keyword research for ideas. Searches for “anti-aging supplement reviews” indicate clear interest in review-style articles. Searches for “how to increase my sex drive” beg for tip-style articles.

Remember:

You don’t need to add all this free content to your website in a single shot.

Even adding just ONE fresh piece of quality content to your website per week adds up fast, creating a snowball effect of traffic and sales.

Strategy #3: Create Topic Specific, Keyword-Rich Landing Pages

Rarely do we meet a super affiliate who hasn’t mastered the art of creating topic specific, keyword-rich landing pages.

Landing pages are simply subpages of your website.
(i.e. www.yoursite.com/this_is_a_subpage)

And as you undoubtedly know from surfing the Web yourself, Google rarely sends you into the homepage (www.yoursite.com) of any website.

Google’s goal is to give you relevant information FAST.

So they help you avoid wasted minutes of random site-surfing by directing you to the pages within any given website that are most relevant to your search query.

Super affiliates understand how Google works and they create landing pages that are optimized to:

1. Suck maximum traffic out of Google. (Read our article on Search Engine Optimization to learn more.)
2. Capture visitors’ interest INSTANTLY by demonstrating the page has information directly related to their search query in Google. (Read our article on Web Copywriting to learn more.)
3. Capture visitors’ contact information for future follow up. (Use Aweber to capture email addresses if you’re not already doing so.)
4. Persuade the visitor to click through their affiliate links and purchase product by establishing value. (Read our article on Web Copywriting to learn more.)

Be sure to read the lessons referenced above for a more thorough explanation of how this is accomplished!

Strategy #4: Make Effective Use Of The First Fold

The first fold is simply the first screen of content visible to new visitors on any page of your website.

And no surprise, it’s the most valuable real estate on ANY website!

Today’s web surfer typically has the attention span of a small rodent (think about 8 seconds), so you have little more than a couple of glances worth of time to capture their interest and attention.

And this means you need to carefully plan how you’ll use the first screen of space on EVERY page of your site.

Some tips for making good use of the first fold include:

• Don’t clutter the space with meaningless graphics like an oversized header graphic. Good graphics are important for creating a professional impression, but graphics don’t sell. Ultimately, copy sells. Make sure there’s room for your marketing message!
• Make a compelling headline the center focus at the top of the page. The best headlines on landing pages will strategically incorporate keywords. And they’ll ALWAYS be the first thing a new visitor’s eye is drawn to read.
• Include an opt-in offer in the top, right-hand corner of the screen. While most affiliate networks don’t allow email marketing these days, it’s still a good way to maintain and build ongoing relationships with your target audience, drawing them back to your website.
• Include a compelling lead. The first few sentences of copy on any page are critical. Keep the visitor interested and reading by skipping the corporate blather and launching straight into information they’ll find relevant to their needs.
• Limit the navigation. Good site design gives visitors a clear path through your website and doesn’t overwhelm them with choice. Too much choice creates confusion, and confusion drives visitors away.

To learn more about writing effective ad copy to feature in the first fold of any page, read our lesson on copywriting for affiliates.

Strategy #5: Provide Visitors With A Unique Experience

Ever notice how many affiliate sites look similar to one another?

That’s because many affiliates, looking for short cuts on the road to wealth, think they can get away with recycling the same poorly written articles and product reviews they find on other affiliate sites.

Change a few paragraphs…
Insert Product X in place of Product Y…
And they think they’re done.

Will anyone ever call these scavenging hyenas on their lack of originality, thievery, and in some cases, outright copyright infringement?

In most cases, not directly…

But the Google bot gets a vote, and typically dumps these copycat sites to the bottom of the search results.

And the general public isn’t responding to this kind of marketing anymore either. They’re savvier and willing to look longer to find authentic, credible solutions.

That’s why, if you ever hope to achieve “super affiliate” status, you must be prepared to create a unique experience for your website visitors. And this means creating original, quality content.

It’s work. It’s time consuming. And it can cost money.

But any super affiliate will tell you, their upfront investment and willingness to go the extra mile is what ultimately sets them apart as voices of authority within the marketspaces they choose to dominate.

Strategy #6: Test and Collect Vital Stats About Your Website

Super affiliates are all avid testers, tracking their key website metrics on a scale that is, no doubt, beyond the capabilities of the average new affiliate.

They test everything on their website including:

• Different headlines
• Keywords they’re optimizing for
• The page location of recommended products
• Different styles of articles and product reviews
• Placement of affiliate links on the page
• Location of the opt-in offer
• Styles of content layout
• Graphic intensive layouts vs. plain layouts
• Image placement throughout the content

Plus much more!

Of course, if you’re NEW to testing, this can seem quite overwhelming. And it’s impractical, too, since you need higher volumes of traffic to generate truly useful statistics.

So to start we recommend:

1. If you haven’t already, install Google Analytics on your website. It’s FREE, it’ll take you 5 minutes, and you’ll get tons of really useful information about traffic to your website including daily visitor counts, keywords they’re using to find you, which websites are referring the most traffic to you, what pages your visitors are exiting your site on, plus MUCH MORE!
2. Get familiar with your key metrics – i.e. your visitor-to-sale conversion rate, your visitor-to-subscriber conversion rate, and the value of a single visitor to your website. (Search these terms in Google and you’ll get instant access to hundreds of articles explaining how to calculate these figures.)
3. Use Google Website Optimizer to run low-risk A/B Split Tests on key pages of your website. (It allows you to split traffic to a single page between two variations of ad copy & design, so you can see which one produces a better result.)
4. Use SurveyMonkey.com to run surveys on key landing pages and collect useful visitor data that can be used to fine tune your design, offer, layout etc.

Remember to assume nothing, and test everything!

Strategy #7: Build A Lasting Relationship With Your Audience

If your business is 100% affiliate commission driven, then you’re missing an important asset that keeps parent companies generating sales during slow months and recessions – and that’s the customer list.

As an affiliate, you don’t have access to the actual names and contact information of the customers you’ve referred. So it’s important to focus on establishing long-term contact with your audience in other ways.

Otherwise, you’ll always be chasing new traffic.

For example, you should definitely be collecting the email addresses of your website visitors. (If you’re not already, it’s cheap and easy to get started with SendPepper. SendPepper is a all-in-one solution which allows you to take orders as well as collect emails.  I like to start out with this because you can scale your business by adding buying sequences for all of your visitors including easy to integrate WordPress options and built-in split testing.)

Because while most affiliate networks don’t allow direct email promotions for affiliate products these days, you can still email your subscribers valuable information that drives them back to your website!

You can also build relationships with blog subscribers, Facebook fans and groups, and Twitter followers!

A subscriber list in ANY medium gives you the ability to instantly contact people who’ve expressed an interest in your niche with follow-up offers, offers for related products, and more.

Plus, since it takes, on average, seven contacts to close any sale, you’re sure to see an overall increase in your commission income when you start regularly following up with your website visitors!

The Mindset of a Super Affiliate

After reading this lesson, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed.

But take heart. As you can see, none of the marketing strategies employed by super affiliates to achieve their six- and seven-figure-income status are all that difficult to implement.

They’re just a lot of work.

And it’s precisely the VOLUME of work involved that stops most affiliates from ever achieving success. Because they give up too early in the game. They move on to “the next big thing” hoping for instant wealth.

Super affiliates recognize that there’s no such thing as “instant wealth” online.

If you want to be truly successful, you must commit to the long haul and plan to grow your income through persistent, consistent action…

Baby steps, taken one at a time, over the next 18-24 months.

And you must commit to being a student of Internet marketing, affiliate marketing, and direct response marketing. Because super affiliates aren’t smarter than everyone else. They’re just stubborn. And they’re willing to learn from the mistakes of those who’ve walked before them.
