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!

Expanding a bit more on traditional marketing avenues that you can use to promote your wealth creation affiliate website, here’s a bit on using sales letters for affiliate website promotion.

The Sales Letter—What Is It?

A sales letter is just what it sounds like it is. It is a letter that you write to a targeted person or wider audience that details your wealth creation product and is sent out to the world to gain exposure for this great product. A sales letter should be in letter form, complete with the “Dear Addressee” so that recipients feel they are being personally spoken to, and beyond that, the body and content are up to you.

How Can I Use A Sales Letter For My Affiliate Website?

The sales letter technique has been adopted by websites as a foundation for business on and offline. You can use a well-crafted sales letter in many ways to supplement the information that is already formulated into your wealth creation affiliate website.

The most traditional use of the sales letter is to send the letter out in a physical mailing—yes, I mean snail-mail. This can help you reach people that don’t go online much, don’t think to search for our terms, those who live in your local area, or people you want to make sure know about your wealth creation affiliate website and wealth creation program (such as friends, family, and acquaintances whose financial health matters to you).

This traditional technique has been adopted and formatted for use online, too. The homepage and content of many websites are really just sales-letters. You can do this, too, by posting the sales letter you write on another website, a free or inexpensive website. Make sure you include your live affiliate links to your official wealth creation affiliate website and/or the parent website (so that you get the traffic and the credit [= $$$$]).

A sales letter is another way that you can spread the word further about your wealth creation affiliate program. Embrace it, use it, and watch your affiliate bottom line grow as you expand your outreach further and further!

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.

Action 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.

Very 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!

If you haven’t yet taken the time to build your profile for your wealth creation affiliate website, you should put that on the top of your list. A profile is easy to construct and takes just a few minutes, but can greatly increase your visibility and outreach.

What’s A Profile?

Profiles are pretty basic. They are really just short biographies that tell a little about you. Your basic affiliate website profile should include:

• Who you are

• What you do

• An interesting or unique personal tidbit

• A link to your affiliate website (if used on other forums, etc.) and Contact information

You don’t have to reveal your deep, dark life secrets, but you also shouldn’t look like a computer-generated apparition.

On your affiliate website, your profile should be longer and give more details about yourself, your successes with wealth creation, and the interest that has led you to become a wealth creation affiliate.

Profiles for forums and blogs are generally kept shorter.

Where To Use Your Profile

Your affiliate website should most definitely have a short biography page that tells your clients a little something about you. On your website, this should be placed on a separate page so that it is available to those who have an interest, but does not cloud the information that you are trying to give outright (in other words, your profile shouldn’t detract from your main goal of selling wealth creation products).

Profiles? Why Bother?

There are two reasons why profiles are important to affiliate programs:

1. Profiles let clients learn more about you, thereby establishing credibility and rapport

2. Profiles are an opportunity to share affiliate website links, thereby drawing in potential clients

Anonymity is not preferable for affiliate website owners. When clients cannot learn about the person behind the product, they will often assume your affiliate website is nothing more than another advertisement. Make it personal, and show that there is a real person backing up your products.

Forum and blog profiles are great because they are usually pursued by people who are already interested in what you’ve been saying. People click on your profile in hopes of learning more and in hopes of getting in touch with you/your affiliate program/your product. In this case, your profile is another means to your end: getting people to your affiliate website!

Don’t discount the power of a short profile. Use this short and sweet biography to connect with interested parties all over the web!

Probably the most important aspect of writing converting sales copy for your wealth creation affiliate website is showing the reader how you can help them.If you focus all of your affiliate website copy around this one central theme, you will do well in converting visitors into buyers. Why? Because people are self-centered (and I do not necessarily mean that in a negative way).

The people who are researching wealth creation are doing it for one primary reason—to create wealth and build a more secure financial future. The reason these people are coming to your site is to find a solution to their financial problems. There’s nothing bad about that; in fact, your visitors should be commended for their foresight and ambition. Knowing this, though, gives you the ideal starting point to write from to create compelling, converting sales literature (either on your wealth creation affiliate website, your blog, articles and essays…).

Benefit Focused Converting Copy

You might be tempted to write about all the excellent features of the wealth creation products you are selling. You might think that these products should virtually sell themselves if you can just list everything included in a given product. For a select few visitors, that might work; but for the majority, that angle will not be effective.

Wealth creation affiliate website visitors want to know one thing—what will your products do for me? How will your products improve their lives? How will they be better off personally for having bought into your affiliate program?

In short, visitors want you to offer them a solution to their financial problems. Your solution will be the wealth creation products offered through your wealth creation affiliate program. But you want to present those solutions in a way that is personally self-serving for your affiliate website visitors. You want to

• Emphasize product benefits (not product features—benefits are personal to the reader, features are aspects of the product)

• Solve the problems plaguing your visitors

• Help your visitors rather than sell your visitors

• Present the financial problems facing your affiliate site visitors, then present the solution to their problems (wealth creation products)

One powerful way to accomplish this is by showing losses and gains. In other words, show affiliate website visitors what they have to lose by not purchasing wealth creation products, and then drive home the gain and show how much better their lives will be if they do.

Fortunately, the products offered through our wealth creation affiliate program are ideally suited to this end—because personal gain is exactly what they were designed for! All of our wealth creation affiliate products were designed to benefit our clients; all you have to do is let your affiliate website visitors see that, and show them how you can help them help themselves.
