Welcome to the world of affiliate marketing – and money-making opportunities! Affiliate programs are one of the hottest things on the Internet today. Everyone from stay-at-home moms to multi-million-dollar Internet entrepreneurs are using affiliate programs to bring in good money. As you’ll soon see by reading this page, affiliate programs are simple, straightforward, and have unlimited potential. Whether you’re looking to make a few hundred bucks a month or bring in a full-time income, you’re about to learn how easy it can be with online affiliate programs. Thanks for taking the time to read this page carefully. When you get your first check in the mail, you’ll be happy you did! Let’s get started. The best place to start is with a quick overview of what an affiliate program is. It’s pretty simple really. Affiliate programs are run by online companies to provide an opportunity for people to earn money by simply referring visitors to their websites. When those visitors make a purchase, the “affiliate” (i.e. the person who referred them) gets paid a commission for the purchase. Some people use affiliate programs to generate a full-time income over $100,000 each year. Most people, however, use affiliate programs to supplement their regular incomes to the tune of a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars each month. The BIG attraction (other than the potential of making good money) of affiliate programs is that they don’t require the affiliate to “sell” anything. Affiliate programs are NOT multi-level marketing schemes where you have to go out and sell products. With an affiliate program, the online company is responsible for doing all the selling. All you have to do is recommend the website to people. If you do and they end up buying, you get paid. It’s really that easy. Becoming a CampaignSiteBuilder.com affiliate is easy and FREE! You might be surprised to learn that it really doesn’t require much at all to make money as an affiliate. Becoming an affiliate is FREE…so it doesn’t require money. We’ll give you all the marketing materials (including a website if you want) for FREE…so you don’t need to have a website or even have a clue how to build one. It doesn’t require any technology experience because we’ll also give you step-by-step instructions on how to get your affiliate program setup and how to continue to grow it – and the amount of money you make – dramatically. We even have a support team dedicated to answering all your questions and providing all the help you need. Making money as an affiliate doesn’t require a lot of time either because we’ll give you turnkey solutions you can use by simply cutting and pasting text. Believe it or not, you can begin to make money in as little as 15 minutes each week. That’s all it takes. Here’s how it all works. When you become an affiliate, you’ll be assigned a unique Affiliate ID and given access to our Affiliate Support Center. The Affiliate Support Center has all kinds of ads, emails, web pages, and links you can use to market CampaignSiteBuilder.com. All you have to do is copy and paste the link or HTML code you want to use. Each link is specially coded with your Affiliate ID. For example, a basic link might be: www.campaignsitebuilder.com/cmd.asp?id=203485A When someone clicks on that link our affiliate software does three things:
I know that sounds like a lot, but it all happens instantly and the person you referred doesn’t notice anything. It all happens “behind the scenes.” In case you’re worried, a “cookie” is nothing more than a little code that is placed in a web browser (eg. Internet Explorer) that allows our website to “remember” the person visiting. That way, if the person comes back a few days, months, or even years later you’ll still get credit when they buy something. Please don’t confuse a “cookie” with spyware or anything like that. It’s not. A cookie doesn’t pose any security risks to the visitor and doesn’t allow us to get information about them or track where they go on the Internet. It’s basically just a little nametag. Now, when that visitor decides to make a purchase our affiliate software does three more things “behind the scenes”:
Again, all of these things happen behind the scenes. Unless you tell them, the visitor won’t have any idea that you’re earning money as a result of their purchase. Perhaps the most important thing to notice about the scenario above is that you didn’t have to do any selling! The only thing you did in that entire scenario was refer the person to our site. Our website and marketing materials did all the selling. In addition, you didn’t pay anything to get started and it probably would have only taken you 5 minutes to sign up and get the link you sent to your referral. No selling. No investment. Five minutes. And you still made money. That’s what makes affiliate programs so unique – and why they are so popular for people looking to supplement their incomes without investing a lot of time and money. Now that you know how an affiliate program works, let’s talk about what makes an affiliate program work for you – in other words, make you money. There are a few things that you should look for in a good affiliate program. Some are obvious; others are not so obvious. 1. A good product(s) or service(s) that’s in demand and has a track record of good sales. This one is pretty obvious. You’re not going to make any money if you are an affiliate for a bad product or service that no one wants and, therefore, no one is buying. The most successful affiliates focus their attention on best-selling products. It’s simple. If a product is already selling like hot cakes, the likelihood of your referrals buying (i.e. you getting paid) is very good. If it’s not selling well, you can refer hundreds of people and only get a few sales. 2. A commission structure that pays you a BIG reward. There’s no reason to spend time referring people to a website if you’re only going to get a small commission like 10% when your referrals make a purchase. Good affiliate programs do all they can to pay high commissions because they know that will keep their affiliates motivated to refer more people. The best affiliate programs not only pay big commissions, but they also run special bonus programs and give affiliates opportunities to increase their commissions. 3. Frequent payouts with no minimums. Some affiliate programs require that you have a minimum balance in your account before they cut you a check or they only cut checks once each quarter. Those policies may save them time and money, but it’s simply not fair to their affiliates. It’s your money. You earned it. You should get paid. 4. “Cookies” that accommodate procrastinators. Some affiliate programs require that your referrals make a purchase on their initial visit by quickly “expiring” the cookie placed on your referral’s browser. That’s not fair to affiliates. Here’s why: Let’s say you refer someone to a website through an affiliate link. You referral goes the website and surfs around but doesn’t buy anything. Then, a few months later, your referral goes back to that website and makes a purchase. If the “cookie” placed on your referrals browser expired, you won’t get paid – even though you were the main reason the sale was made. That’s not fair. The best affiliate programs have cookies that never expire or at least don’t expire for several years. 5. Good reporting of payments, sales, and clicks. The saying “information is power” is true with affiliate programs too. The more information you have about how your ads are performing, the more money you’ll be able to make in the long-run. Of course, it’s critical that an affiliate program have systems that notify you every time a sale is made and allow you to see how much money you’ve earned and have been paid. However, it’s just as important that the program have detailed reporting that allows you to see things like how many clicks you’ve generated, which ads are performing best, and which of your campaigns produced the most sales. This information will allow you to carefully analyze your work so you can continuously adjust your focus and improve your results. 6. Support staff available to help. If you’re willing to refer people to a company’s website, the least they should do is have staff ready to answer your questions. As you can imagine, it’s incredibly frustrating to carve out 30 minutes of your day to work on your affiliate program only to discover it will take 12-24 hours to get the answers you need from the company. When you’re choosing which affiliate programs to join, be sure to see whether or not they have support staff available to help you. If you focus your time and effort working with affiliate programs that have all six of these characteristics, the odds are very good you’ll make money – and probably a lot of money – without investing a lot of time. Well, there you have it. That’s the basics of affiliate programs and what you need to know to begin using them to make hundreds – and potentially thousands – of dollars every month.
