People often question what they need to become successful as an Affiliate Marketer (AM). The small answer is the right resources, the right training and the right aptitude.

RESOURCES

Some businesses use a resources model as a filing or directory system to organize their business information. Resources can be divided into the following main categories:

  1. Human Resources (Personnel, Manpower, Temporary Labour, Freelance, etc)
  2. Equipment (Templates, Graphics, Media, Components, etc)
  3. Machinery (Tools, Software, Hardware, etc)
  4. Methods (Training, Procedures, Possesses, Work Ethics, Product Creation, etc)
  5. Money (Cash on Hand, Available Funds, Financial Assets, Loans, etc)
  6. Markets (Potential Suppliers and Customers, Market Trends and Demands, etc)
  7. Information (Data, Books, External and Internal Information, Research, etc)

When evaluating a business opportunity, it is advisable to also evaluate it in terms of available resources to get a larger depiction of the business. The same applies to Affiliate Marketing (AM), Multi-level Marketing (MLM) or any additional Online Business Opportunity.

An simple way to evaluate the comprehensiveness of an Affiliate Marketing training course is to determine what it provides or teach about all the resources required to effectively run an Affiliate Marketing Business. A simple e-book or course about Market Research, Clickbank Products, CPA, eBay, SEO, PPC, Keywords, Finding Profitable Markets, etc is probably just teaching the basic MARKETS concepts of an Affiliate Marketing business, but what about additional resources like Outsourcing, Business Templates, Software, Best Practices, Product Creation, Managing Funds or Affiliates, Research Tools, etc.

StratBusCycle

Even the most comprehensive courses on a specific aspect of Affiliate Marketing is bound to leave gaps in a profitable business model, unless it covers enough ground with regard to all resources needed to be profitable in a certain area of Affiliate marketing. Unfortunately many newbie marketers do not know this and are lured into buying one product after the additional just to grasp that something else is missing in their business model, or else they are confused as to everywhere it fits into an Affiliate Marketing business.

It is unlikely that every aspect and concept of Affiliate Marketing will ever be covered in one training course, as the meadow is just too huge for a single organization to cover every method or thought, as new concepts surface daily. In order to grasp such a goal, every Affiliate Marketer will have to share all their secrets and tricks, which is highly unlikely as it is the fuel that keeps Affiliate or Internet Marketing in momentum. The general mistake that new Affiliate Marketers make is that they chase these concepts or new thoughts without having the foundation or basic Business Model. Concepts, new thoughts or opportunities should only be added to an Affiliate Marketing business after having the fundamentals in place. It is of no use baying windows, doors and taps for a house without having a plot and an end goal or objective.

TRAINING

In general, high-end Affiliate Marketing training products typically sell above $2000 while low-end products sell below $500. But price should never be used as an indicator of the quality of a product. Most of the training products partially reveal what Affiliate Marketing is about and a newbie can easily buy several products before gaining enough knowledge to get a clearer depiction. Some of the more expensive training products is nothing more than a bundle of low-end products, and the ‘student’ is often left to figure out how to combine or integrate the various concepts in order to become profitable.

p_034That is why many people become frustrated and gives up on the thought, as they don’t have clear objectives and don’t know everywhere to start or everywhere to fit the puzzle pieces. But this can be avoided by appropriate training, proper product investigations and informed decisions. People should question themselves if they want chunks of information and guess which chunk will complete the depiction for them, or do they want as much of the larger depiction as they can get right at the start. For newbie Affiliate Marketers it can be a daunting task and like hunting for a missing link. Then after their first successful sales, they need to learn their weakest business link to increase their successes, and often they do not know how to pinpoint problem areas.

One training product which stands out from the crowd is Commission Blueprint 2 as it covers many areas of Affiliate Marketing; it has a Members Forum and a responsive Help Desk. It is a high-end training product with many tools, information, integrated training, help from peers and the already successful product owners to help ‘students’ to reach their goals, while it is selling at the price of a low-end product. Commission Blueprint 2 is widely appraised by Affiliate Marketers as the most comprehensive course for beginners to advanced Affiliate Marketers with many repayment; including a once off payment, no monthly fees despite ongoing support, no up-sales or one time offers, etc. This is evident in many online discussions by prospects and those who chose to take the plunge.

Despite having the right resources and training, it is still no guarantee for success if you do not have the right aptitude.

APTITUDE

It will be futile to study becoming a medical practitioner if you despise working with people, medicine or if you faint every time you see blood. No matter how financially rewarding such a career may be, it will be stupid to even try it. So what aptitude do you need to become a successful Affiliate Marketer?

Focus, Focus and Focus: As mentioned above, Affiliate Marketing is a massive meadow and it may take jumpmany months to master several concepts. In order to get started, focus is required and it is best to start in an area everywhere you already have some skills, an area which is fascinating and which is rather basic. If you don’t have the tools and skills to build a website, then start with a blog or direct linking strategies. If you like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), invest in the tools and knowledge and become a SEO freelancer or start a Search Engine Marketing Business. Only you can choose what is best for you. Once a specific area is selected, stay with it and do not dwell too much in additional areas in anticipation of your first business area become profitable. If it is not profitable within 3 months, shelve it and only then should you go on to the next. The most common error is that people start jumping from one business area to the next and they become overwhelmed by information and distractions, especially as result of new product offerings after subscribing to a mailing list when the first product is bought. Stay informed about these new products but do not get distracted or pressurised to buy it, unless you are sure that it will add momentum to your existing business.

Measure and Manage Your Routine: Affiliate Marketing is a real business, and websites or business areas can even be sold, just like any additional brick and mortar business. Any business that does not measure its routine is doomed to fail. Many new Affiliate Marketers do not know why their efforts don’t produce results. To measure is to know and guessing can be a very costly lesson (See the Strategic Business Cycle sketch). Therefore any start-up Affiliate Marketing training course should also teach you how to measure your routine using the course tactics; otherwise it amounts to a business chance. The thought is to measure and track the inputs to your business or process and to determine what produce the best results. This is to facilitate business decisions. The right adjustments can only be made if the end results can be measured after adjusting the inputs.

Willpower, Start-up Capital and the Right Decisions: If you do not have the money or the willpower resultsto make it with something, then don’t invest in it and stop wasting whatever money you have on cheap things that don’t enable you to grasp your end goal (“Penny wise and a Pound foolish”). If you invest in the right training and tools, you can easily become a profitable Affiliate Marketer with much less than $2,500 and within one to six months (depending on your efforts); but if you invest unwisely and buy junk, it can cost you more than $50,000 and take more than a year, that is if you don’t quit before achieving your goals. Buying ‘doorknobs’ is not inane to open doors; ensure that you get the fundamentals in place and only invest in new basic concepts (‘doorknobs’) after achieving success. Affiliate Marketing is certainly a very worthwhile business that can be run from home or anywhere else and it can provide passive income, but to grasp anything worthwhile you also need perseverance and to be open-minded. If you believe you are inane to fail or make it, you will. Many kids are succeeding as Affiliate Marketers purely because they belief in themselves.

Education and Experience: Affiliate Marketing is a full time job for many people from al walks of life. Some started while at school while others have resigned from top paying jobs to pursue their dreams as Affiliate Marketers, but in most cases they only became successful after deciding to treat Affiliate Marketing as a real business and invested in appropriate training and resources. Surely you cannot expect to start a real business without investing some of your time and money (‘Time is Money’). The less knowledge and experience you have, the more time you are inane to spend and chances are excellent that you are inane to pay for a lack of knowledge and resources owing to errors, wasted time and efforts. It is therefore advisable to learn the basics by investing in an appropriate training course that teaches a variety of fundamental Affiliate Marketing concepts.

FINAL REMARK

Commission Blueprint 2 is a remarkable training course when compared with additional similar courses. It covers enough resources for a profitable business model in several fields of Affiliate Marketing.

Affiliate marketing is getting harder and harder, due to the low level of entry (anyone can become your new competitor overnight). So it’s important to convert as many of your precious visitors into paying customers.

Whilst you may be tempted to link all of your ads and articles to an affiliate offer (if you’re lucky and this gets overlooked), the truth is that almost all of us affiliates need to send our hard earned traffic to a webpage that pre-sells that visitor on a particular product.

The traditional way to do this was to create a page that sung the praises of a certain affiliated product, which kind of worked but not amazingly. Why? Because it soon become obvious to the wise consumers that your game is to sell them something.

Now, nobody likes being sold to. But people love to make up their own mind about their buying decisions. So were introduced methods of “totally unbiased” pre-selling, one of the most powerful being the review page.

The reason a review page works so well is because it doesn’t just hard sell you on a specific product but instead gives you a choice, based on actual reasons why or why not a product is worth the money/time/effort and whether or not it is any good.

So if you’re thinking of making more money as an affiliate marketer online, then it may be wise not only to incorporate review pages into your sales process, but to make sure you do it right using the following blueprint:

Step 1. The Headline

The headline will draw people in and create excitement and desire to continue reading. The headline must include a clear benefit and address the reader as personally as possible. Always state what they will be gaining from reading on, based on the specific problem that they are experiencing.

Step 2. The Body

The entire body is elaborating on the headline and getting the reader involved. This might include telling a short story (only needs to be a paragraph here), in order to connect with the reader, and give a clear reason why you’ve bothered to do a review of these particular products.

Step 3. The products

Many people still do a review on one product and leave nothing to compare it against. This is a big mistake, because a comparison of similar products will help prevent the reader from leaving your page to compare the product you’ve reviewed with similar products elsewhere. In other words, why not get them to do their entire research on your page instead?

Step 4. Believability

If you make out as if the winning product is perfect in every sense, then you’ll lose sales. Why? Because people will believe a balanced review over a blatant sales pitch any day of the week. Pick out a few minor bad points and contrast them with the good points so as not to kill the sale.

Step 5. Call to action

Once you’ve written your reviews of each product, make the winning product the most prominent on the page, at the top before the fold. This will prevent visitors clicking away and will be able to clearly see which product is worth looking into. Make all of your links stand out, even on the losing products and be sure to use phrases that ask the visitor to take action, such as “click here to get rid of x..”.

If you apply these techniques to your review pages, you can expect to increase your conversions significantly. What you really need to consider is that more people are doing review type pre-selling every day, so in order for you to stand out, it is highly recommended that you do a proper review and not just a “fake” review where you are talking nonsense! So, you would do well to actually buy the products you are reviewing and make balanced points good AND bad and simply let the visitor make the decision, not you.

If you follow this advice, you will always be ahead of the competition by giving your visitors valuable help in buying through your affiliate links. Your visitors will actually appreciate this more than you’d think, and you’re still going to be picking up the affiliate pay checks at the end of the month too.

collage-small_trans2Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Business Blueprint is a complete Business Solution for the Online Business, Internet Marketing and Home Business niches. It does not only teach Search Engine Marketing principals, but also provide all the tools, marketing materials, methods and more to run a complete online SEM business.

This business blueprint was developed by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey of Commission Blueprint and Niche Blueprint fame, who is renowned for their solid products, excellent after sales support service and personal involvement to help entrepreneurs on their way to success. To use the SEM Business Blueprint, entrepreneurs need virtually no experience with Internet Marketing because they will be learning the concepts as they go along and Tim and Steve provide absolutely everything entrepreneurs need to get started.

box-small_transEssentially what they are doing is allowing entrepreneurs to copy their own very successful SEM business models and concepts, literally every last detail. People who think that meeting potential customers face to face would be too daunting, or even if they wanted to target customers in other countries, could easily make this work by driving traffic to your own websites that are also included in this product, and can then communicate with their customers via phone or email. As with any other online business, the actual work can be performed by employees from all over the globe, although it is always a good idea to be personally involved until the business is running smoothly and when the owner gained enough experience in the everyday operations of the business.

SEM Business Blueprint is unlike anything else available in the market today and is most probably one of the most lucrative Business Opportunities. Every website owner knows the importance of targeted traffic to their websites and how difficult it can be to get potential customers to their sites. That is why SEM is in such a high demand, not to mention the benefits for your own online business ventures.

001_59Generally speaking, a medium size ‘offline’ company would have around 60 employees, would probably work with around 500 ‘clients’ and most likely pay its CEO around $250,000 each year. If you compare that to the potential earnings with an online business like this, with one employee (the initial owner) working from home each day.

  • 5 customers = Potentially $50,000 /year
  • 10 customers = Potentially $100,000 /year
  • 50 customers = Potentially $500,000 /year
  • 100 customers = Potentially $1,000,000 /year

case-small_transThe power of this business is absolutely immense, especially when considering that assistants are not necessary until the $10,000 per month mark is reached, while reliable employees can easily be contracted from all over the Internet at rates between $600 and $3,000 per month. Furthermore customers are retained, thus ensuring an ongoing income without the need to resell the services month after month.

When compared to franchises, SEM Business Blueprint is a lot similar as it also provides everything needed get started immediately, although at a fraction of the price whilst no monthly franchising or licensing fees are applicable. The SEM Business Blueprint websites are completely owned by the product buyer, who can customize it with its own trademarks and who can resell the business whenever desired.

Automatic Online Shop

Having an Automatic Online Shop can be one of the most Lucrative Online Business Opportunities on the Internet. With very little effort, it can enable anybody to earn massive income streams 24 hours per day, selling tangible goods to the 1.5 billion Internet users the world over. And the best about it, is that nobody have to stand behind a counter and much less struggle with logistics, personnel issues, property maintenance and all the other issues involved with setting up a shop at a street corner. While automation takes care of almost everything, the manufacturers look after logistical and even most customer issues. All that remains for the Shop Owner after setting up the store, is to ensure that potential buyers notice it and stop by to spend their money on the latest and greatest items available in that specific market segment, and even that can be outsourced if needed.

To find out more about the Automatic Online Shop software, you can visit their website and browse to the ‘help’ facility to get more information about system requirements, installation instructions and more.

group1-lgCommission Blueprint is probably the best stepping stone to become successful as an Affiliate Marketer, as it bridges the gap between direct linking strategies and more advanced strategies like pre-sales pages, review pages, list building, connection sites and eventually making products to be sold by additional affiliates.

Commission Blueprint took the Internet Marketing (IM) community by storm towards the end of 2008 by selling over 15,000 copies in just 8 weeks. This product is a hands-on and step-by-step training guide teaching exactly how to profit from Clickbank’s many downloadable e-products, predominantly using Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, but also using articles and additional Search Engine Optimization (SEO) methods to rise owing to the organic search and advertisement rankings. This course still is the best starting point for entrepreneurs requiring presale bridging pages and considering an online business as an Affiliate Marketer (Marketing products made by others, to earn massive commissions on the sales generated owing to their efforts).

lpo1The disadvantage of direct linking strategies (linking directly to an Affiliate’s Sales Page from articles, banners, advertisements, etc.), is that such a strategy may waiver the opportunity to build a mailing list, which still remains one of the most worthwhile strategies to be profitable as an Affiliate Marketer. ‘The money is in the list’ remains a right statement, even now. It but is doubtful that anyone can build a substantial mailing list without presale bridging pages, connection sites or having their own products on sale. That is exactly why Commission Blueprint is such an valuable stepping stone for Affiliate Marketers.

The quality of Commission Blueprint and the services rendered by its creators pleasantly surprised many newbie and even mediator Internet Marketers, after becoming disillusioned by many Internet Marketing product offerings that does not really deliver on their expectations. It teaches the exact skills and techniques that can otherwise take being to perfect before becoming profitable as an Affiliate Marketer. Surely more can be learned afterwards to grow as an Affiliate Marketer in additional affiliate networks (Clickbank is one of the many well loved Affiliate Networks on the Internet) and additional strategies, but without Commission Blueprint as foundation, it is doubtful that entrepreneurs will make it anytime soon after entering the Affiliate Marketing Business Segment.

disc7-smSome of the advanced techniques and skills clarified in this course may initially be vaguely daunting for first time marketers, but once they grasp the concepts, it becomes a walk in the park to become successful using the step by step processes. Fortunately help is always available owing to the course forum, so that even those with no experience and very restricted knowledge, can obtain help from their peers and the product creators. As always, the most valuable attribute for those that partake in a course like Commission Blueprint, are to stay focussed and to really implement what they learn. Many newbie marketers only became successful in their online business ventures after following the Commission Blueprint course.

Mediator Internet Marketers may but learn many new skills and tricks to help them gain a competitive advantage over their Affiliate Marketing competitors. The Commission Blueprint course therefore remains one of the top performing Internet Marketing training products, even months after it was first launched. It is anticipated that its popularity will remain intact for quite a while.
