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.

Goals and planning have been a big topic, as they almost always are this time of year. But let’s take a minute to talk about the downside of planning for your wealth creation affiliate program—the side that gives you an excuse to procrastinate and keep putting off affiliate success!

Can You Be Too Prepared?

Has this ever happened to you? You have great plans for something—in this case we’ll say your wealth creation affiliate website—but they never come to fruition. It’s hard to understand because everything you read and learn tells you that planning and goal setting are keys to success. But planning and goal setting can also be the reason for your failure.

It’s not that your plans are necessarily flawed—it’s just that you fool yourself by always planning. You make yourself think that planning equals action (which it does, for a short-lived period of time). When no further action is taken on those plans, planning becomes an excuse.

Ready To Launch

When it really comes down to it, you need very little to launch your affiliate website. In fact, we’ve provided everything you need to start. You do not have to build your wealth creation affiliate website or pack it full of content—that’s already been done. You do not have to link it to the ordering phase—that’s done too. All you have to do is buy it and let us activate it and your wealth creation affiliate website can potentially start making money on its own.

All great efforts start with a small step toward action. We’ve taken care of the first step towards success as a wealth creation affiliate. This program has been designed to let you grow with it, and though your plans for your affiliate website are no doubt great ones, they won’t get you anywhere if you don’t get going.

Don’t let planning get in your way of success. Give planning and goal-setting its due, use it in an efficient way, but start acting today for a better, more financially free life tomorrow.

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.

As 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!

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.

It’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.

Remember how we talked about using traditional means of marketing to promote your wealth creation affiliate program? Did you read the post about telling others about your plans as a wealth creation affiliate? I hope you took those words to heart and are enjoying the advantages of both. Now, let’s combine the two to reap the reward of one of the oldest, simplest, and most trustworthy forms of traditional marketing known to marketing—word of mouth.

Capture The Power Of Word Of Mouth

Since man has been trading with one another, man has been talking about it. They’ve shared information to help themselves and help others. They’ve told people about the goods they have available and about why those people need their goods. And it worked! Commerce was built on man’s ability to use word-of-mouth to promote his products! And even still today, word of mouth stands as one of the strongest, most reliable marketing forces.

The best thing about word of mouth is that it is easy and it’s free. All you have to do is talk. Or, in the cyber-world, type, and let people know, person to person, that you have a great wealth-creation product that can help them.

Why Word Of Mouth Is So Powerful

Word of mouth is a powerful marketing source for one reason—trust. It’s really hard to know who to trust, but it’s a lot easier to trust a program that you know has netted success for someone you have come to know (even if you do not know them face-to-face). All most people need to know about a wealth creation program to really trust in it is that someone they know, or someone just like them, was able to use it and to succeed.

Word Of Mouth In The Cyber-Age

Take advantage of word of mouth in all its various forms. Tell people you know, pass out a business card with details, and talk online. Emails, forums, chats—all of these are just cyber-forms of word of mouth, and many people have taken to checking out a program through one of these avenues that they deem more trustworthy than a faceless affiliate website.

Get to know those close to you—online and off—and harness the marketing power of word of mouth for your affiliate website, too.
