www.askjoelcomm.com Just what is affiliate marketing? In this episode of Ask Joel Comm, I provide the answer to a question that is asked time and again.
Every online business provides great service to generate satisfaction among their customers. As each and every customer receives satisfaction over their products or the services they get, there is a great chance that they will become a return customer and buy again. Better yet, they will recommend you to other people that could generate more business for you and your site.
As more traffic is driven to your site, you can entice many of them to subscribe to your mailing list or opt-in list. This is a list where in website visitors agree to be sent promotional materials such as newsletters, catalogs and such that could keep them updated about your site or the niche of your site. These promotional materials are sent via e-mail to the members of the list in different time intervals.
When using e-mail as the media of your marketing and advertisements, you eliminate the need for high costs. Email is free and if you can manage to make your own promotional advertisements you can also save a bundle there. With an opt-in subscribers list, you are pretty sure that what you are sending out is received, viewed and read by the subscribers and not simply being deleted. They have signed up for service and have consented in receiving it.
This means that there are constant reminders to your subscribers about all your products, new products and services as well as any promotions and special deals you are having. There is also the chance that they can be forwarded to other potential customers as they tell their friends and families about you and your site.
Of course you should be also aware that a subscriber may unsubscribe when they feel that they are not getting what they want or expected. Make sure that they are satisfied with your opt-in marketing strategies and keep them excited in receiving your newsletters and catalogs. Here are some tips that can help you build a list of eager subscribers.
Make your promotional materials interesting and fun. Try to use a little creativity but not too over artsy. Build around what your product or service is about. For example; if you are selling car parts, put some pictures of what is new in the auto parts world, a new wing door possibly that can fit any car and make it look like a Lamborghini.
Try to research what people are looking for, these way, you stay one step ahead of them all the time and you will be their bearer of new tidings. They will be eager to receive what you are sending them because they new you always have fresh and new things to share with them.
Write good articles that can be very informational but light at the same time. If your subscribers enjoy your articles, they will go to your site by clicking the links that you will be putting on your newsletter to read some more. You can provide articles that can connect to many people. Be diverse in your articles. Put something humorous, then put something informational, then put something that has both.
Are you wary about this because you don’t like writing? No problem, there are many professional and experienced article writers that can do the job for you for minimal fees. They know what they are doing and can provide the need that you have for your newsletters, the money that you pay for your articles are going to be met by the many sign-ups and the potential profit from the sales that you will get.
Create and send an E-book to your customers about anything that is related to your business or site. Use your knowledge and expertise in the field you have chosen to help other people who are similarly interested. Offer this e-book for free. You can write about anything informational and helpful to your subscribers. For example; you can do manuals and guides in so many things. This e-book could be used as a reference for many people.
Share this e-book with everyone, even other sites; just make sure that they don’t change the links in the e-book that will lead people to your site. If you want, you can always get some people to write it for you just like your articles. Your investment once again will be covered by the great marketing this will generate.
Add e-coupons in your newsletters that will help them avail to special discounts. Put a control number in your e-coupon so that they can only be used once. When people get discounts that can be found in your newsletters, they will be eager to receive your newsletter in anticipation of what you are promoting next.
If your subscribers can get benefits from your newsletters, they will be very eager to receive them. Just don’t flood your mailing list with mails so that you don’t annoy your subscribers.
You can also find even more article directories – just do a search on “article directories” or “submit articles” and also just place them on a free blog you create through Blogger.com – these will all distribute and get you traffic for free to your affiliate link!
Hey Bill Here, brand new method guaranteed to generate cash *FAST*
Here’s something that you’ll probably NEVER forget…. (click below)
http://tinyurl.com/yg3fb75
It’s pissing off almost EVERY “wealth guru” on the planet and
today, I mean this more than ever.
… an ASTONISHING ‘machine’ that’s guaranteed to generate FAST cash
for anyone who uses it. This is based on a brand NEW technology
which leverages “free traffic” on the internet with billions of hits.
=========================================
The CRAZY part that’s shocking…
=========================================
You don’t really need to do anything – after setting it up and just
pressing a few “submit” buttons! There’s no hard learning or
trial-and-error or complex guide to follow. Yes, it’s that ERROR-PROOF
and there’s virtually ZERO chance for you to lose money.
As you may know, I’ve tried out many wealth “systems” back in my
day….
This includes even the private mastermind clubs with top well-known
“wealth” gurus.
Guess what?
NONE of them worked despite their good intentions. Arrgh – it was
embarrassing for me.
Sorry to be blunt today but most of them SUCKED at teaching what they
knew (and the methods were prone to serious error for any follower).
My rule now… only do it if it’s PROVEN beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Something that WORKS no matter if you’re in debt, computer
illiterate, simply can’t get motivated, or feel down due to a
recession.
This will be worth every moment to see … especially you see
yourself duplicating an automated CASH COW without fail:

(read their raw testimonials inside)
Here’s what I found remarkable about this ….. he literally says that
EVEN if you ONLY get 25% of the results that the other users are getting,
your change of financial life will be STAGGERING.
==========================================================
Set it and FORGET it. True Error-proof Automated Wealth.
==========================================================
He says it’s better that you get inside, activate the process,
and then just set and FORGET IT. Let the thing make money for you -
easy and FAST.
This is the way life was meant to be … don’t EVER work for money -
instead, let money work FOR YOU. That’s how I define true retirement
… and it’s a beautiful thing.
I dare you to check out if that is true with his system … (let’s
just say, you won’t be disappointed)
http://tinyurl.com/yg3fb75
Oh, I have a personal analogy to share…. because I’d even get one
of these systems for a loved one.
Whenever I give people gifts now … I always try to give them something
that will make them GROW rather than something that just pleases them.
Think about it… a shiny new toy OR a priceless system that can
grow their wealth easily, if not at a geometric rate. They can then
use this wealth to buy MANY shiny toys (cars, boats, homes, whatever!)
What makes more sense… seriously what will benefit them in the
long-run?
Do the same for yourself and yours.
Thanks for hearing me out .

P.S. I urge you to immediately use Jamie and Lance’s system that’s
still only discovered by a lucky few:
http://tinyurl.com/yg3fb75
Their “Idiot-proof” system alone make it so that no man or woman is
left behind … where generating up to $35,867 in your FIRST 14 days
is not uncommon at all.
I know you will be delighted. I’d really hate for you to miss this
since only so many licenses can use this system by tonight.
f you are looking for a system, developed by millionaires, and proven to generate at least $354.97 per day from home when you’re just starting out, this may very well be the most important letter you will ever read!
Let me tell you a story about this club that I’ve created for you:
My name is Mack Michaels, and let me tell you, I used to work hard. Really hard… like millions of other Americans… while hardly getting by, living paycheck to paycheck.
I always wanted to live the “American Dream” but no matter what job I had, I could never get anywhere close to making enough money to live the life I have always wanted.
From fast food to a Fortune 500 company, I tried everything to secure my family’s financial future.
No matter what I did, my bank balance was always close to zero at the end of the month and, my credit card debt kept piling up. I hated my jobs, my bosses, the debt, and most of all…
I hated not being able to provide my family the life I wanted to give them.
Then, when I thought things can’t get any worse, they did…
I remember the exact day. It was December 7th (my birthday) and I’d been laid off from the only job I had. Christmas was fast approaching and I planned on buying my wife a very special Christmas gift (the kind that shines in the light and could only be worn on her ears).
But all of a sudden, there was no way I could afford that gift. Forget presents, I didn’t even know how I was going to afford putting a roof over our head and food on the table after my last paycheck was spent.
