			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the many mistakes that affiliate marketers do is not failing to acquire enough knowledge. Rather, it&#8217;s not making something happen with the knowledge they have.<br />
Step 1:<br />
You go to Clickbank&#8217;s marketplace and scan around the top 2 pages of each category. Take a look at the statistics of these products.<br />
By this I mean the gravity, the % referred, $ earned per sale etc…<br />
So you think you&#8217;ve found a good category to enter – Say Sports &amp; Recreation. The next logical step would be to unearth a winning product to promote.<br />
Generally, the top 5 products are extremely competitive and have tons of affiliates promoting it already. It would be quite difficult for you to take on the competition at this stage.<br />
Step 2:<br />
Click through to the next few pages and look for items with a reasonable % referred that isn&#8217;t too high and a good gravity weighting.<br />
Broadly speaking, a % referred rate of more then 75% is high and anything with a gravity rating above 30 would be worth a shot.<br />
Step 3:<br />
Select 3 products that fits the criteria and choose from them. Click on &#8220;view pitch page&#8221; to see the sales page for yourself. It&#8217;ll instantly become very clear to you which of the 3 sales page converts better.<br />
First, I do a &#8220;look&#8221; around Clickbank Marketplace. I look from the first page (best sellers) onwards slowly to the back. You would notice that most are around the same niche but I need something different, something that is a niche and does not have many similar products in the Clickbank marketplace…<br />
Other things to look out for:<br />
1. Does the vendor provide a strong affiliate resources page?<br />
2. Is the % earned per sale stat high? Generally, I&#8217;d never promote a product that pays below % 50 unless it&#8217;s a high ticket item.<br />
3. Are there any payment leaks? Scan for them, it&#8217;s extremely important that you do this.<br />
I&#8217;ve to mention there is no sure-fire way to select and pick products to promote.<br />
Even if you follow what I say to the dot, you could end up picking a loser, the only 100% guaranteed way is for you to test it out – Find what works and what doesn&#8217;t yourself… </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the easiest ways to get started marketing on the internet is through affiliate marketing.<br />
Affiliate marketing is sending leads to a sales page and getting paid for everyone of your leads that buy.  But how do you select an affiliate product?  How can you tell which affiliate products will sell and which won&#8217;t sell?<br />
The process of choosing an affiliate program to become involved with is not as hard as it may seem as long as you know what to look for and what you want.  You need to know how to search for affiliate programs and how to compare one to another.<br />
The first thing you need to know before you pick an affiliate program is what market or what niche do you want to sell in.  For example do you want to sell internet marketing information, self help information or gardening information?<br />
There are so many products you can sell, you need to narrow you choice to start with by answering that question.  You will be most likely to succeed in an area you either know something about or are interested in.<br />
Once you pick your niche you are ready to start looking.  The largest collection of information products with affiliate programs is Clickbank.  There are thousands of products in dozens of categories and hundreds of sub categories listed for affiliates to choose from.<br />
Go to Clickbank and look around a little bit to get a feel for the site and read some of the information about getting started.  If you do not have a Clickbank account, you need to sign up for one.  It is through this account that you will be paid, so it is important to sign up.<br />
Once that is done go to Clickbank marketplace.  There is a link to marketplace at the top of the main page.  Marketplace is where you can search for affiliate programs.  They are organized by categories which is why you need to have an idea about the market or niche you want to sell to ahead of time.<br />
There is a simple search engine there that will allow you to search by category, keyword, and sub-category.  Once you enter the search parameters the system lists your results.  There are some statistics that are shown for all each of the results.  The key ones are gravity, total earned per sale, percent earned per sale and percent of sales by affiliates.<br />
The most important number is gravity.  Gravity is a score that Clickbank assigns to each affiliate product according to their secret formula.  It has to do with how many sales and how recently those sales have occurred.<br />
Suffice to say that high gravity means that affiliates are making a lot of commissions on sales.  Low gravity means that there has not been many sales at all.  So the gravity is an important measure of how successful a product is.<br />
You do not want to select the product with highest gravity because that also means that there will be the highest number of competitors selling that product.  It would be very difficult for you start with a product that has so much competition.<br />
You would be much better off looking for a product with a gravity somewhere between 75 and 150.  That way you know that the product sells fairly well and you won&#8217;t have as much competition as the top products will have.<br />
Once you find a number of products you might be interested in based on the gravity and category you can then start looking at the other factors such as total paid and percent paid.  Always start with a good number of possibilities and narrow it down from there.<br />
You can be more confident in picking the right affiliate product by understanding how to use the gravity numbers at Clickbank.  That is a great start to picking your winning affiliate product. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, </p>
<p>Have you had the chance to see Alex Edevane&#8217;s $541,839 Clickbank affiliate mega bomb brand new video. No other word can describe it but…AMAZING!It is official: the Clickbank affiliate marketing industry has changed forever….and I mean it.Alex, a former army commando, exposed to the world what every single &#8220;guru&#8221; has kept hidden from us for years. The incredible part of all of this is….and listen closely:After Alex released the &#8220;bomb&#8221; on video a few days ago I have been literally flooded with emails and phone calls from many &#8220;inner circle&#8221; marketers.  Why? Because they are angry! They cannot believe someone had the courage to expose them and their secrets for generating automatic Clickbank affiliate cash.Alex&#8217;s 1% M.O.L.B. Wealth Formula finally did it! If you want to be amongst the JUST 200 people who will have the opportunity to see how, go here:The so called &#8220;gurus&#8221; don’t want to share the pie! But it&#8217;s too late…the &#8220;bomb&#8221; has been released.What they don&#8217;t know yet is that Alex not only exposed them but he actually took it a step further and created a top notch home study course to coach others how to implement the secret formula that generates $1,165.24 in NET pro.fit day in and day out.Only a lucky group of people will learn that it took true army commando courage to expose the closely guarded Clickbank affiliate formula that turns any ordinary 9-5&#8242;er into a cash spitting machine. It&#8217;s easier than you think&#8230; but first you will have to abandon everything you thought you knew about pr.ofiting with ClickBank – everything that the &#8220;gurus&#8221; have told you. You will have to follow the unique formula of the elite 1%&#8230;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-Take No B.S. from Anyone, Give no B.S. To Anyone&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-That’s the army code. Be honest and demand honesty. If you knew Alex you would know that anything he does is based on that concept. His 1% M.O.L.B. Wealth Formula home study course is no different. To prove this….let me reveal a little &#8220;secret&#8221;….Some time ago Alex developed a 1-on-1 mentoring program to teach the 1% M.O.L.B. Wealth Formula. He charged $12,000 for it and was booked for the whole of 2008! His armed forces integrity simply did not allow him to keep the Clickbank affiliate secret from people who could not afford the high price tag. This demanded too much of his time so he decided to spill it all in his new ground-braking home study course priced at a fraction of his 1-on-1 mentoring program (but 10x more effective!).For a limited time you have the opportunity of being amongst Alex&#8217;s inner circle. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An affiliate program is designed to benefit two parties &#8211; the seller and the promoter. The seller gains by having the promoter advertise, pre-sell or simply market a product or service in exchange for a percentage of the sale. This is similar to the real-world model of commission sales; whereby a salesman is paid a percentage of each sale he makes.<br />
Affiliate marketing on the internet has and will continue to make people very wealthy. Due to the vast amount of products to promote to a virtually unlimited audience, companies are always looking at ways to further expand their market share without going to great effort and expense. The best way for them to achieve that goal is to allow regular people like you and me promote their company, service or a particular product that they sell.<br />
If you visit the Commission Junction website, you will find hundreds upon hundreds of online and real world retailers who want website owners to advertise for them, in return for a cut of every sale made. A webmaster simply needs to display a banner or text link, imbedded with affiliate code, and if a visitor clicks that link and purchases a product, the webmaster will receive his commission.<br />
Commission Junction is a mega hub of affiliate programs. They provide the interface and tracking that allow webmasters to promote several affiliate programs at once, without the hassle of maintaining sales records themselves. Commission Junctions track all clicks and sales, and simply send the webmaster a check every month for the amount of commission he has earned.<br />
Although simply displaying a few banners might seem rather easy, this method will very rarely make you any sales. To become a great affiliate, the idea is to &#8216;pre-sell&#8217; to the customer. Pre-selling generates the customer&#8217;s interest and installs a &#8216;ready to purchase&#8217; frame of mind through the method of convincing and tapping into their emotional needs.<br />
Pre-selling can take the form of offering reviews of certain products, and subtly adding some affiliate links to the review. Pre-selling can also consist of posting an authoritative article on a particular subject relating to a product. The reader will then associate your expertise with this product, and will be in the frame of mind to make a purchase after reading your article which speaks extremely highly of this particular product. And because you are an expert in this field, you must be right when you say they really need this product, right?<br />
Tip to increase your affiliate earnings<br />
If you are an affiliate, there are an unlimited amount of things you can do to substantially increase your income. One of my favorites is good old fashioned article marketing. Writing an informative article can potentially bring in sales for you well into the future. Articles never die on the internet; your article will still be around in five or ten years time, hopefully earning you money!<br />
You can write an article on the niche in which your affiliate program relates to. Once you submit this article to free article directory sites with your affiliate website link strategically placed in the resource box, other people will use this article on their websites. Your link will always remain intact, therefore you should start seeing visitors trickle (or preferably flood) in from various websites. A few sales here and there will make your hour or so of article writing well worth the effort.<br />
Affiliate programs are a potential goldmine to the person who masters the art of promoting them. Make sure you start taking action today, and before too long you could be the next six figure affiliate marketer. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Affiliate Marketing is just about the Biggest Home Business technique used today. It is Huge and Still Growing. Research shows that  Affiliate Marketing is a $6.5 Billion Business worlwide and it is expanding fast. There are thousands of people who are making affiliate marketing their full time jobs and are earning thousands of sollars a month doing so. </p>
<p>So why is Affiliate marketing so popular? Simply because the Affiliat eBusiness Model has some distinct differences and advantages from any other business model. The main advantage would be the lack of inventory needed to be carried in order to be an affiliate marketer. Which means the affiliate does not require to worry about inventory, storage, delivery, or unsold stock. </p>
<p>Which leads to the second advantage. If you don&#8217;t need inventory, that means you don&#8217;t need a huge startup capital in order to purchase the inventory before you can start your business. Affiliate marketing in fact is probably the cheapest, safest form of starting a business as you don&#8217;t have to take ANY RISK with any Capital outlay.</p>
<p>Thirdly, an Affiliate does not need to worry about customer support. All support is given by the merchant directly. The affilaite only helps to promote and makes the sales and the rest is taken care of by the merchant. </p>
<p>Fourth, with affiliate marketing as opposed to any other business model, No physical shop address, no warehouse and cost of the rent, No inventory is ever needed. Plus, since there will be no need for employees,  the need of payroll will also vanish. In some cases all is needed is a computer and internet connection and nothing more.</p>
<p>Fifth, with affiliate marketing, one does not have to commute to and from work. They could do it from the comfort of their own homes and this is very quickly becoming the lifestyle many people are dreaming of.</p>
<p>Sounds so simple doesn&#8217;t it? Put bluntly, Affiliate marketing is a great way to start business with little or NO setup cost at all. And seeing how well people are doing in this sector of the business model and how fast and vast affiliate marketing is growing, I&#8217;d say YES&#8230;it definitely is the WAY to go. However, coming to my next poibt which is, Is it for everyone? If not who is it for?</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;d say its definitely NOT for every single one of us. As simple as Affiliate marketing is made to seem, and I think after reading the above analogy, even I have made it sound exceptionally easy to do, I have to say that affiliate marketing is Far from Easy and does not work for every single person that tries it. Why? Although most affiliate websites try to spread myths about &#8220;how to work 15-20 minutes a day and make $15-30,000 a month&#8221;&#8230;This could not be further from the truth! Affiliate marketing is like any other business which needs strategic planning, development and of course A&amp;P(advertising &amp; Promotion) as well as to keep up with the latest trends in the market for getting people to buy from you. You cannot possibly do all of this in 15 minutes a day and will require some time and effort on your part. Although affiliate marketing can be started without any initial capital, it is of course good if you have at least some money to invest in a great manual to guide you along with your affiliate marketing as well as a little for cheap paid advertising if you have the resources for that. Most people join affiliate marketing without these few important priciples and end up failing to achieve their goals as an affiliate marketer.</p>
<p>There are 2 kinds or groups of affiliate marketers. The successful ones are those who will put in every effort, learn from the experts and overcome ALL obstacles that they come across on their journey as affiliates. This makes them become really successful and go on to become super affiliates. </p>
<p>Then there are the ones that will join affiliate marketing as a hobby and will not invest in any good materials to guide them along thinking it is a piece of cake and that they know it all already. And the moment they come across their first obstacle, they will quit saying affiliate marketing is all a load of &#8220;Bull&#8221; and that it isn&#8217;t worth it. These people are the ones that will Never make it in the inetrnet marketing world. Why? Because the internet consits of billions of websites and offers and if you want to make it, you have to be in the know. And to be in the know, you must first bother to gain SOME knowledge of the market you are dealing in. Knowledge is everything. It is the key to success for anything that you endeavour in. </p>
<p>So bottom line is, Affiliate marketing is indeed the way to go if you are just starting out and don&#8217;t have your own website or knowledge of internet marketing and it is the business model with the least capital outlay ever! </p>
<p>However, if you DO want to succeed in affiliate marketing, then you need to gain some knowledge not just about &#8220;how to do it&#8221; but about &#8220;How to do it RIGHT&#8221;. Now that is the difference between an affiliate marketer and a super affiliate marketer. </p>
<p>If you really want to learn affiliate marketing and how to succeed with it, I suggest you click on the links below and start gaining the knowledge and then go out there and make a killing!</p>
<p>To Your Success! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Benefits of Being an Affiliate Marketer</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effective ways to advertise online. It is also one of the easiest ways for anyone with a website to make a profit online. Affiliate Marketing is an agreement between a merchant and a website owner. The website owner, or the affiliate, allows the use of their site for the promotion of the merchant&#8217;s products by linking to the merchant&#8217;s website. In exchange, the merchant pays a commission to the affiliate on all sales generated by the affiliate. Every time someone clicks on the link on the affiliate website and proceeds to make a purchase, the affiliate gets a commission. The merchant will pay the affiliate only when a customer clicks on the product link and makes a purchase.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing programs are described as a win-win situation for both the merchant and the affiliate because of the pay-for-performance scheme. Both the merchant and the affiliate enjoy some benefits in affiliate marketing. There are many benefits on the merchant&#8217;s side. It gives the merchant a wider market in which to advertise a product or service. Affiliate marketing will give the product or service the maximum exposure that it may not get with other traditional advertising techniques. The more affiliate sites a merchant has, the higher the traffic, which can convert to sales. Affiliate marketing is the equivalent of having an army of sales people who will do the advertising and will only get a commission if a customer purchases.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, since an affiliate marketing relationship is a win-win situation, the affiliate also enjoys many benefits. Foremost among these is the easy way to make a profit. The affiliate can earn by having an ad or link to the merchant&#8217;s website, which prospective customers will hopefully click and proceed to make a purchase. As soon as the customer clicks on the ad on the affiliate&#8217;s site, is redirected to the merchant&#8217;s website and goes on to buy that particular product, the affiliate earns a commission. The more referrals there are the more profit for the affiliate.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to earn money while at home. There are virtually no production costs. The product is already developed and proven by the merchant, and all you have to do to find, as many prospects as you can that will bring in the profit for both the merchant and the affiliate. Affiliate programs are usually free to join, so affiliates do not have to worry about start-up costs. There are thousands of products and services you can choose from. You can find affiliate programs for every product under the sun. Surely, there is a product or service out there that is relevant to your website.</p>
<p>In addition, there is absolutely no sales experience necessary. Most affiliate programs offer excellent support when it comes to providing marketing material. The simplicity of affiliate marketing allows you to be an affiliate marketer at the least cost and the most comfort. You can even build a successful affiliate marketing business right in the convenience of your own home. In affiliate marketing, your responsibility is simply to find prospects for the merchant; you do not have to worry about inventory, order processing, and product shipping. These, along with customer service support are the duties of the merchant.</p>
<p>Because of the global reach of the internet, you can easily find thousands of prospects. You can intensify your advertising campaign by exploiting more aggressive and productive strategies such as viral marketing. By attracting more prospects, you also maximize your potential to earn. Another benefit of an affiliate marketer is the minimal risk involved. If the product you are advertising is not making money then you can dump it and choose another. There are no long-term binding contracts tying you to products that are not making enough money.</p>
<p>All the same, the best benefit of being an affiliate marketer is the opportunity to increase your income; and you can make a profit even if affiliate marketing is only a sideline business. With your own affiliate business, you can earn easily earn extra income, although you do have to exert effort and use your imagination to maximize your earning potential. Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the simplest and most effective business opportunities on the web today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Affiliate programs are very popular right now and have been for a while. While you might have heard of many people making money with affiliate or associate programs as they are often called, you may not know exactly what an affiliate program is. A very simple way to explain an affiliate program is that it is an arrangement between an online merchant website and an affiliate website where the merchant website pays the affiliate website to send them traffic.<br />
The Details<br />
The details of each affiliate program really vary from affiliate program to affiliate program. Generally the affiliate website posts links to the merchant website and is paid according to how many people go to the merchant program via the affiliate link, or the number of people that buy something as a result of the affiliate website or website link.  Payment arrangements vary and can be based just on traffic, on purchases, as well as getting other people to join the affiliate program. If you work hard and post links on all of the pages of a website you can make a lot of money through affiliate programs.<br />
Why Merchants Develop Affiliate Programs<br />
Many merchants develop affiliate programs because it is one of the best ways to sell products or services online. Affiliate programs work because they get the word out to the world about a company, what it is about, and why consumers should check it out. Affiliate programs are also quite cheap to start up as they are based on affiliate members future actions so there are no funds to be paid out ahead of time so these programs are cheap marketing for the merchant! If you think about it, affiliates are basically advertising for the merchant all over the Internet and if they do not generate any traffic they do not get paid. For the affiliates that do generate traffic and sales they will get paid after the money has come in, so the merchant is always ahead of the financial game and the affiliate will be guaranteed payment.<br />
Affiliate History<br />
Affiliate programs are everywhere these days, but they weren&#8217;t always so prevalent. It wasn&#8217;t until 1996 that the marketing trend came to be when the CEO and founder of Amazon.com came up with this strategy. If you take a look around Amazon you will see that they are essentially one big merchant with a bunch of small affiliates advertising on their website. The way that Amazon works is that affiliates post information for products and then Amazon gets a cut of the profit as well as collects the money and ships the product. As you can see, affiliate programs can really pay big and Amazon is a good example of that.<br />
A Growing Trend<br />
It&#8217;s important to note that you do not have to have a business such as Amazon to be successful with affiliate programs. You can be a merchant of any sort and create an affiliate program just to create some noise and some interest in your website, your products, or your service. Affiliate programs have now been around for more than ten years and they continue to be used because they work. Whether you are the merchant or the affiliate there is a lot of money to be made with a relatively simple program, so why not give it a shot? You&#8217;ve probably wasted more time doing things that have made you less money than you will make with one of these programs. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>eBars are eBay-certified tools allowing eBay affiliates to make money from their website visitors using one of the most generous affiliate programs on the internet &#8211; and eBay keeps paying you even long after the visitor left your site (up to 30 days after)!! </p>
<p>The new eBay Partner Network (previously eBay affiliate program through Commission Junction) is one of the most generous affiliate systems/networks on the web. Offering 50%+ of eBay revenue for successful bids/purchases and $25+ per new member sign up, very clear and timely reporting and great product listings, its clear to see why it has already been very popular. </p>
<p>However, until now it was quite complex to create good quality links (relevant, context-sensitive, timely eBay listings) with high conversion rates. This was because to do this effectively you needed good programming skills and had to use the eBay API. </p>
<p>Now, eBars take all the programming skills out of the equation leaving you to sit back and make lots of money from your website! All you need is a little html knowledge to install an eBar on your site, and once it is installed, it automatically updates the listings it displays every time a visitor hits your web page (a bit like Google Adsense, it &#8220;sniffs&#8221; your web page to find out which listings your visitor is most likely to be interested in and displays them &#8211; also ensuring they are timely &#8211; ie. the listing is not going to expire within minutes of being displayed, and fetching the most up to date price for the listing as applicable). eBars also use screen real estate effectively, showing more ads in the same amount of space as Google Adsense, thanks to discreet scrolling. This scrollilng also makes the visitor more likely to notice the listings and get drawn into watching the eBar to see what the next listing will be &#8211; eBars become quite addictive for your visitor! </p>
<p>The best thing about eBars is that you don&#8217;t have to join yet another affiliate program! eBay pays you directly for commission earned via eBars through its eBay Partner Network! </p>
<p>You can see what listings an eBar would generate for your website in SECONDS &#8211; just go to http://www.ebarster.com and type in the URL of your website/page. </p>
