<br />
It will contain the biggest news this year regarding <br />
building a business on the internet FROM SCRATCH. <br />
<br />
No one in the world knows anything about what I am about <br />
to reveal. No one has seen anything like it. <br />
<br />
But you could stand to make a-lot-of-money - ESPECIALLY <br />
if you’re an absolute beginner on the internet. <br />
<br />
So please, pencil this message into your diary under <br />

           How To: Make a living as an affiliate<br />
           © copyright The Business Professional<br />
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br />
95% of all affiliates make $0 - $100 a year. I don't know <br />
about you, but in my books, this is not a living. In this <br />
quick “How To” guide, we'll take a look at how you can become <br />
part of the 5% who ARE making their living online. This guide <br />
does not guarantee that you'll make a fortune, but it will <br />
point you in the right direction if you're interested in <br />
making a living as an affiliate.<br />
<br />
1. Mindset: Get in touch with your grey matter. Program your <br />
mind with positive, committed thoughts. If you can believe it,<br />
you can achieve it. It sounds a bit like a sales seminar, but <br />
bottom line is, if you don't believe you can make a living <br />
online, you won't. You have to be committed. Commit to <br />
yourself that you will develop an income online – no matter <br />
what it takes. Think of your business as a bacon and eggs <br />
breakfast. The chicken was involved, the pig was committed!<br />
<br />
2. Viewpoint: This is your business. Once you've accomplished <br />
your first hurdle and committed yourself to making this work, <br />
you have to look at your business from the proper viewpoint. <br />
No rose coloured glasses here. This is your business. You are <br />
the CEO of your own marketing company. You can choose to <br />
offer your services to one or several companies. Bottom line, <br />
you are responsible for every action in your company. Every <br />
decision you make affects your bottom line.<br />
<br />
3. Learning Curve: Expect it. Becoming an affiliate is like <br />
going to college or university. You start at the beginning, <br />
learn the basics and build on what you learn. Take it <br />
step-by-step and you'll build a much stronger business. Think <br />
of it like becoming a doctor. One doesn't decide to become a <br />
doctor with the expectation of opening a successful practice <br />
one week from now. It takes time to learn the products or <br />
services you're marketing and it takes time to learn to run <br />
your business.<br />
<br />
4. Budget: Time and money. Set a general budget for both. As <br />
a business owner, you'll use plenty of time developing and <br />
promoting your affiliate business. Budget as much time as you <br />
can each day and make sure you use your time wisely. Set up a <br />
budget for your monetary expenses too. You can run a business <br />
online with a shoestring budget, just don't expect a mammoth <br />
income in the beginning. The more you can invest in your <br />
business, the better. This doesn't mean that simply throwing <br />
money at your business will make it grow. Every dollar that <br />
goes out your door, needs to come back in and bring another <br />
dollar with it. <br />
<br />
5. Goals: s/he shoots - s/he scores! Your goals will get you <br />
through the tough times. There'll be lots of days when you <br />
feel like quitting. If you make your goals tangible, you'll <br />
make it through the tough days. Money isn't a motivator, but <br />
what money can buy, is. Set your goals for a family vacation, <br />
a new car, boat, or home. It's much easier to get excited <br />
about a shiny red corvette in your driveway than $100,000 <br />
sitting in your bank account. Money is only numbers on a piece<br />
of paper or a computer screen, but it can bring you a <br />
luxurious lifestyle, and that's where the fun is. <br />
<br />
6. Nuts and Bolts: Once you've got your house in order, with <br />
the proper mindset, you're looking at your business from a <br />
realistic viewpoint, you've got an open mind and you're ready <br />
to learn, you've set aside some time and money and you've got <br />
pictures of your dream house, car and vacation plastered on <br />
your wall, you're ready to go hunting. The next step is to <br />
find a business that interests you and offers an affiliate <br />
program with a reasonable commission. For information <br />
products, one of the most popular and profitable online, you <br />
can and should expect a commission of 25% or more. <br />
<br />
Pick a product that interests you. Buy it and use it. Your <br />
business is based on your recommendations of a product or <br />
service. If you haven't used it, how can you recommend it? <br />
Running around in circles after the newest, hottest selling <br />
product of the day, only leaves you dizzy and broke. If you <br />
like astronomy, becoming an affiliate of a star chart company <br />
may be a good fit. Selling women's pantyhose may not.<br />
<br />
7. Look before you leap: Finding a company to represent as an <br />
affiliate is one thing, finding a company that respects its <br />
affiliates is another. Do a bit of research before you jump <br />
on the bandwagon. Send an email to the company as if you're a <br />
potential customer. 24 – 48 hours is a good response time. <br />
This shows that someone is actually running the company. It <br />
also gives you an idea of their commitment. Generally, the <br />
faster the response, the more committed the company is to <br />
doing business. The quality of the response is also important.<br />
Did the response answer your question? Was it written in a <br />
friendly, professional manor? Did they answer your question <br />
directly or simply send you to a FAQ sheet? <br />
<br />
8. Flip the switch: If everything checks out up to this point,<br />
then your next step is to take action. Fill out the affiliate <br />
application form and get your affiliate URL. Now the ball is <br />
in your court. It's time to get down to brass tacks. If you <br />
freeze now, you make no money and flush your goals down the <br />
toilet. If you take action, you make it one step closer to <br />
your goals.<br />
<br />
9. If you build it – they will come: OK not really, but you <br />
do have to build it. If you want to maximize your income and <br />
be taken seriously, you need to own a website. Just like a <br />
brick and mortar business, you need a professional location <br />
to offer your products. Yes, you get an affiliate URL when <br />
you sign up as an affiliate, but promoting an affiliate link <br />
looks amateur and will help you LOSE 98% of your sales. We'll <br />
cover this in point 10.<br />
<br />
10. Follow-up = Sales: Only 2% of your prospects will sign up <br />
or buy what you're offering, on their first visit. 98% of your<br />
sales will be made from your follow up. There's a very simple <br />
method for following up and making sales automatically.<br />
<br />
i. Check your favourite search engine to locate a free ebook, <br />
software program or report that relates to your offer. If <br />
you're promoting a website that sells peanut butter, a free <br />
peanut butter recipe book would be a good match. Your <br />
give-away must always relate to the product you're promoting <br />
to maximize the results of this system.<br />
<br />
ii. Build a page on your website to give away your free peanut<br />
butter recipe book. Design the page as if you were designing <br />
a sales page. Make people's mouths water until they want the <br />
recipes so bad they'd gladly pay for them, but then give it <br />
to them free. All they have to do is fill in their name and <br />
email address in the simple form and you'll send their recipe <br />
book to them instantly via email.<br />
<br />
iii. As soon as your peanut butter prospect fills out the form<br />
on your site and clicks the send button, they are taken to <br />
your affiliate URL where they can buy peanut butter. At the <br />
same time, the peanut butter recipe book is sent to their <br />
email address.<br />
<br />
iv. Now your peanut butter prospect receives an email from <br />
you each week with new tips and useful peanut butter <br />
information. This information positions you as a peanut butter<br />
expert and gives you the opportunity to promote your peanut <br />
butter affiliate website once a week, to hot prospects. This <br />
is where you'll make 98% of your sales.<br />
<br />
Although this may seem like an overwhelming amount of work <br />
for the beginner, it's all very simple. The whole process is <br />
run from an autoresponder, a simple piece of email software <br />
that automatically sends your prewritten email messages on a <br />
predetermined schedule. <br />
<br />
Your success as an affiliate is determined by you. 95% of the <br />
people that read this simple How To guide will do nothing with<br />
it. 5% of the people that read this guide will put all the <br />
pieces in place and start making a living as an affiliate. All<br />
you have to decide is which side of the coin you want to be <br />
on.<br />
