More Affiliate Website Marketing Traditions

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Care to talk a bit more about using inexpensive traditional marketing avenues to bring traffic to your wealth creation affiliate website? Today let’s talk about flyers and brochures.

Marketing Flyers And Brochures—The Good Stuff

Brochures and flyers are a great way to market an affiliate website. They have all the best elements of a successful off-line marketing tool. Flyers and brochures are:

• Portable

• Informative

• Capable of reaching offline clients and clients who haven’t thought to search for wealth creation products—they’re visible!

A short, informative brochure about your wealth creation affiliate website can put the essential program information in the hands of people around you so that you can start conversations and get them to your affiliate program site.

Simplicity In The Making

Okay, so you’re sold on the idea, but maybe you’re one who hasn’t a lot of technical expertise. You’re no graphic designer, so how can you make an effective affiliate program brochure?

Very simply, really. All you need is a basic working knowledge of your word processing program.

Word processing programs usually have templates that can be used to create brochures such as what we’re talking about here, but even if yours doesn’t, you can still create a nice brochure to market your affiliate program by using a simple copy and paste feature.

Remember the rights we gave you to your site and our online tools and resources? Exercise those rights and put your website to work for you. Even a screen shot of your website, or a print off with your contact information and web address will serve.

The most important thing to remember is to include the critical information—you don’t want to be the vague sense of an idea that prompts your potential affiliate website visitors to search, you want to be the go-to guy (or girl). Make sure that the following information is included on your brochure:

• Your affiliate website address—this is the most important! Your site will do the rest if you can get people there!

• Your website/program name

• Your contact information (whatever information you choose to divulge). This should match what is on your website.

It’s a simple thing and a small thing, but a nicely done, visibly displayed promotional brochure or flyer could really help you sell your wealth creation affiliate program offline and bring in more traffic that we all might have missed.

What’s Your Role As Wealth Creation Affiliate?

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I wonder from time to time if we’ve been clear about what your role as a wealth creation affiliate is. Well, it’s a varied role that is part marketing, part business partner, and part entrepreneur. All in all, your primary job-focus, though, comes down to one thing: pre-selling.

Where Your Affiliate Efforts Fit It

You are an affiliate for two reasons:

1. You want to make money through a passive stream of income
2. You believe in the product you are backing

And I guess these two really equate to a third reason:

3. You want to see others succeed in wealth creation

While achieving these goals, you also help our wealth creation program and our wealth creation affiliate program succeed, and that helps us help others too.

Before I digress to far, let’s get back to how your efforts help all of us achieve all of these goals.

LinkAs a wealth creation affiliate, you are our first-line of selling. You are reaching people that apparently we have not been able to reach before through our marketing avenues. You may have a better sense of what your particular customers want, you may have access to a niche market that we haven’t considered or successfully tapped, or you might be reaching locals that haven’t thought to look up wealth creation.

However you are reaching your audience, you are reaching them if they are at your website, reading your articles, or visiting your blog. As their first introduction to wealth creation, you become the first line of sales.

This serves to define your role as a wealth creation affiliate. Your job when you reach people is to pre-sell the featured product to them. Anything you do on your own (on a personal web space, blog, etc…) warms your customer up so that they will be receptive to learning more about your product when they get to your wealth creation affiliate website.

And This Means

I bring this to light to help you understand what your function is. You are more than a link to an affiliate website, you are a marketing agent. The more active an agent you are, the better your pre-selling will be and the more success your wealth creation affiliate program will enjoy. I hope this helps so that you can efficiently target your efforts as a wealth creation affiliate!

Do I Repeat Myself?

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Do I repeat myself on this wealth creation affiliate blog? I hope that I do–at least for the important stuff—because in affiliate marketing, repetition is a good thing. And you should be doing it too!

A Message Worth Repeating

The message we are spreading through our wealth creation affiliate program is worth repeating—get the financial education you need, work less for more money, live the life you want to live! A message that good should be repeated again and again.

Marketing is all about repeating your message. It does not always have to sound the same, although on occasion that’s okay too. Marketing is a matter of repeating and recreating your marketing material in a way that touches lives. That repetition will be central to your success as a wealth creation affiliate.

Repeating your message in new and varied ways helps to drive your message home. It serves as a polite reminder to your clients that helps them keep their focus on the matter at hand. Repetition also serves as proof to some extent—if people hear and see something about your program in more places, they will come to trust that it is real and reliable.

Revisiting Timeless Topics

When you have a great message, when you have information that you really want people to ‘get’, repeat it! Find a new and interesting way to talk about it, revisit an old topic again, but keep it in the eyes of your wealth creation affiliate website visitors. Use your blog, your website, articles, your newsletter…whatever marketing tools you have, use them to repeat your message and drive it home.

In the marketing of your affiliate website and the featured product for your affiliate program, repetition is not tedious, it’s imperative. Repeat your great information as often as possible in as many places, and watch your affiliate program income grow!

More Affiliate Website Marketing Tools: Your Website

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Maybe you already have a website for personal or business use, and maybe you don’t. With an outside website, you increase the visibility of your dedicated wealth creation affiliate website even more.

Using Your Website For Affiliate Promotion

An outside website can very easily be used to market your wealth creation affiliate website. In short time, you can use the traffic that you’ve already brought into your personal or business website to promote your affiliate program, too.

affiliateIt’s a simple matter to add a bit to an outside website about the wealth creation product you are offering, offer up links to the products (which of course are yours that go to your wealth creation affiliate website) and let your affiliate website take it from there. You can do this as a feature on a main page, in a column on a sidebar, or in a page of links. You can also include your link in the signature line of emails that are generated from your outside website.

What If You Don’t Have Another Website?

If you don’t have an outside website yet, consider getting one. You can use it for anything—make a personal website, a hobby site, or a secondary wealth creation website where you post on your own about wealth creation and link to your wealth creation affiliate website.

Contrary to what you may be thinking, it is not hard or expensive to have a website. You can get a website for free sometimes from your internet service provider, or you purchase one for a few dollars a month. Many website hosting services also offer templates and build-your-own software, so you can even build a secondary wealth creation website even if you know nothing about coding, website design, or programming.

This is another great way for you to increase your exposure on the web and build inbound links to your wealth creation seller site. Have fun with it, and add this affiliate marketing technique to your affiliate program portfolio.

Reverse The Cycle Of Regret

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Don’t end this year as you’ve ended years in the past—in a cycle of regret for financial opportunities lost. This year, use your wealth creation affiliate program to reverse the cycle of regret so that 2009 comes in on a high note.

Your Inaction = Your Regret Next Year

The New Year is the time of year we all start thinking about the great things we can do. Now, a few weeks into it, we start to think about all the failures of our past—most of which are nothing more than our reluctance to act—and start to regret the things we failed to do last year. This year, put a stop to the New Year cycle of regret.

make moneyAction now, a positive step in the right direction for wealth creation, will set you on a path to success in the coming year. You, as a participant in this wealth creation affiliate program, are in a prime place for ending the cycle of regret in the New Year. You have all the tools right before you—right here under your fingertips, really—to make money online, learn from a superior wealth creation program, and achieve financial success this year.

Your Ambitions

Inevitably, your ambition will have a low day. You might wake up wondering if you are really up for this, and if you can really join the upper echelon of affiliates who are bringing in the big paychecks through this wealth creation program (which, of course, you can if you put in the effort). These are the days you have to watch out for, because these are the days that eventually result in inactivity, minimal returns, and all-around regret.

build wealthVery simply, to reverse regret for next year you have to start acting now, and keep acting throughout the year. You have to do the work to set yourself up for success as a wealth creation affiliate, and you have to stop missing out on excellent opportunities to make money, build wealth, and live freer. Do something today that will continue tomorrow and on into the next day. Do something that helps you earn that passive income that will follow. Do something! And next year, Do Not regret what you didn’t do but could have!
