That’s right, I spend a lot of time making perfect sales funnels that entice visitors to opt-in and eventually get sold to products. Unfortunately my sales recently plummeted and I was barely making a fraction of what I was used to. I was asking around and it turns out that this is actually a pretty common problem and that most people really have no idea what they’re doing wrong.

The truth? They aren’t doing anything wrong!

There’s actually a quite possibly MORE disturbing thing happening. A large percentage of computers now have some sort of spyware on them and more recently there are spyware programs that will change affiliate links on the host’s computer from your affiliate ID to the spyware creator’s. That means you’re doing all of the work and they’re STEALING your sales!

If you’re making less sales that you expect to – or more than you normally make – it is very possible that this is your problem. With your current links there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop this problem either. The solution?

CLOAK YOUR LINKS!

Normally people run off to a URL shortening service or something and get a different URL so it can’t be edited, but I would NOT recommend that you do that. More than likely you’ll pick one of the many services that will break affiliate cookies and you won’t get the sell anyways. More recently though there have been a few link cloaking services that are directly related to affiliate marketing – these are the ones that you want.

The best ones of these will be hosted on your own site and allow you to change the links, etc. You probably shouldn’t try and make your own redirect script (unless you’re a programmer) – you might end up not having affiliate cookies still.

I asked around for a program that can do just this and was instead redirected to a report about link cloaking. It’s over 15 pages of information about link cloaking and why you need to do it. If you’re serious about getting the sales that you deserve and stopping thieves in their track, I recommend you download it as well.

The report is titled ‘Cloak & Dagger Affiliate Secrets’ and you can find it right here. This will take you through the reasons to use link cloaking, as well as the different ways that people can hijack links.

It recommends ‘Phantom Link Cloaker’ (PLC) which is a great cloaking service that runs on your website. Recently ‘PLC’ was upgraded to version two and a ton of new features were added. You can find ‘Phantom Link Cloaker’ here if you have already read the report or are already convinced to look into a link cloaking service.

Secrets of Affiliate Marketing

One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online is through affiliate marketing. This is when you refer traffic to someone else’s product sales page, they do everything else! (make the product, design the sale page, handle the billing and support, etc.), and you keep 50% or more of the sales

The benefits of this are

1. You can start almost instantly with no up-front costs and no need to create a product, set up a website and sales page, develop the website, develop marketing materials, or do support, billing and maintenance.
2. There’s zero time investment on your part because they handle the billing, support, maintenance, etc.
3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells, because the product owner has already done all the research , development and testing. So you already know that the visitors you send will result in commissions for you.

There’s no denying that these benefits make affiliate marketing the best thing going!

The downside is…

Once you send your visitors to the product sales page, they are gone forever. Less than 10% of the visitors your send will actually buy the product. The 10% or less that make a purchase now belong to the product owner. She can sell them additional products, but you can never sell to them again.

What’s the solution?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. By getting their contact info, you can follow up increase your odds of making the sale by sending them back to the product owner’s website multiple times. And if you’re a super star affiliate, you’ll provide high-quality content before sending them to the product website.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

1. Owning a list of potential buyers gives you the ability to market additional products at the push of a button.
2. You’ll be warming them up by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

Here’s what you’ll need to create affiliate tools like this:

1. A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
2. Several high-quality content pages
3. At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

You’ll use the squeeze page as the place to send your visitors instead of using the product website. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your content pages after they subscribe to your email series.

The content pages provide valuable information for your visitors and make them more receptive to the sales message that you’ll link to from inside the content. While they’re reading the content you’ve provided, your email system is already following up with them to send them back to the product website again and again.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically – you just send visitors to the squeeze page, instead of the product website.

One option, if you’re not up to the challenge of setting this all up yourself, is to let someone like Affiliate Silver Bullet do it for you. With a service like that, you don’t have to do anything. They make the video, build the squeeze page, write the email series, develop the content mini-site, etc. And then just give you a finished package. On the plus side, you’ll save a ton of time and money vs. trying to build this yourself. Plus you can get started instantly. One negative is that there will be other people using this same affiliate marketing system. However, the odds of you and them both finding the same visitor are so small, that it doesn’t really matter.

The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your affiliate marketing.

That’s how much Steven Holdaway earns.

He does it by advertising websites on Google.

Sounds easy, right?

But it took him SEVEN years to get where he is today.

Seven long years of trial and error, testing and retesting, learning every rule and advertising policy, and discovering exactly how to advertise any website to make it unbelievably profitable.

Now, you and I could spend the next seven years becoming an expert (a WEALTHY Expert) like Steven.

Or…

(You KNEW there was an “or,” right??

Or… we could simply DO what Steven DOES!

Ooohhh, how I LOVE this shortcut…

…Find out what a successful person does, and DO what he DOES!

It’s like monkey see, monkey do, only BETTER, because we don’t have to literally watch him and try to figure out what he’s doing…

…we can just grab a copy of Google Money Pro 2, read the book and watch the videos…

…and begin making money!

And in case you’re wondering if Steven is full of @#%&, the folks at Google will verify that he is the REAL DEAL, as you’ll see on his site.

So here’s what to do…

Go to Steven’s site and read every word (no worries, it’s pretty short.)

Google Money Pro 2

Pay close attention to the examples he gives.

If your mouth isn’t watering when you see what he does, how easily he does it, and how much money it MAKES him…

…check your pulse.

You might be dead.

Once you’ve read the letter, imagine what YOU would do with an extra $160,000 per YEAR, much less per MONTH like Steven makes.

Now scroll down to the bottom of the letter and press the button that says DOWNLOAD.

And always remember this moment… the moment you FINALLY started your journey to financial freedom.

Email me in a year and let me know what’s happened… I know you will have quit your job long before the year is out… but did you buy a new house? Car? Take a month long vacation?

Drop me a line and let me know.

Make Millions Online WITHOUT a Website…

…Yeah, Right!

Sounds pretty bogus, doesn’t it?

How can you make a million dollars online with NO website?

Can’t happen.

Ha!

That’s what I thought.

Then I stumbled on…

Google Money Pro 2

…and found a guy who is making $1,920,000 a year, and yes, he has no website.

Okay, so I don’t know everything…

Yesterday I wrote to you about Steven Holdaway’s program, Google Money Pro 2.

Steven places ads on Google to promote sites.

That’s it. That’s all he does.

But he’s so good at it, he’s averaging $160,000…

…PER MONTH!!

Here are some questions I received…

Q. “This sounds waaayyy too good to be true. Is it??”

A. It took Steven SEVEN years to perfect his system. He’s worked darn HARD at it, and put a lot of time, effort and testing into it. So forget “overnight-success,” “flash-in-the-pan,” or “too-good-to-be-true,” because this is the real deal.

Even Google recognizes him as an EXPERT Qualified Advertising Professional.

And I’ve seen his proof.

Yes, he does know what he’s doing.

Yes, this is 100% real.

Q. “So Steven is a Certified Google Advertising Professional. What does that mean? Can’t anyone become one of those?”

A. Evidently not, since there are only 630 Google Advertising Professionals in the entire world.

Most of these professionals only offer their support and service for thousands of dollars each month.

But Steven offers unlimited support and answers any questions about Google or online marketing for free to all Google Money Pro customers.

Q. “Will the information in Google Money Pro ever become obsolete? Will have I have to buy it again if it does?”

It doesn’t go out of date because Steven continues to update it. And since all customers have a life long subscription to Google Money Pro, you can always download the newest version for free.

Q. “Is it difficult to do this?”

A. Google Money Pro is written for both Beginner and Expert users of affiliate marketing and Google AdWords.

If you’re a beginner, Steven will show you everything you need to know to get started, and you will be introduced to more advanced techniques as you go along, until you, too, are a successful affiliate marketer.

Steven has had teenagers, people in their late 80s and everyone in between purchase Google Money Pro and email him telling him how much they benefited from it.

Q. “What if I have a question after I buy it?”

A. If you ever get lost, confused, or need help in any way, just email Steven and he’ll personally reply to your email with the answer.

Q. “If we don’t need our own site to do this, why does Steven give us a site as a bonus?”

A. You can never be too rich, too happy or have too many streams of income.

And once you get good at promoting other people’s sites, doesn’t it just make sense to promote your own site, too??

Okay, enough questions.

Bottom line, this is perhaps the best program I’ve seen in a long while on how to make money starting NOW, even if you have NO experience at marketing online.

And if you’re going to learn something, it just makes sense to learn from the BEST… and anyone making $160,000 per MONTH obviously knows what he’s doing!

Winning Affiliate Marketing Strategies

Affiliate marketing is by far the fastest way to get started making money online. This is when you refer traffic to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you keep 50% or more of the sales

Here’s just a few benefits

1. You’re able to start instantly without having to develop a product, craft a sales letter, develop the website, develop marketing materials, or do support, billing and maintenance.
2. You have practically zero time investment because the product owner does all the hard work of support, maintenance and billing.
3. There’s no risk for you, because the product owner has already made sure the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Obviously affiliate marketing makes sense – these benefits make it a clear winner!

There is one major drawback…

Once you send your visitors to the product sales page, they are gone forever. Unfortunately, the majority of those visitors (at least 90%) will not buy on their first visit. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.

How can you avoid this pitfall?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. If you do that, you can contact them again and send them back the product website multiple times. This will increase the number of sales you make. And if you want to do it like a pro, you’ll give them some great content before sending them to the sales page.

Here are the benefits of doing affiliate marketing like this:

1. By building your own list, you’re creating a renewable resource that you can tap again and again for instant profits.
2. By providing great content without a sales pitch, you put them in a buying mood. So when you do send them to the product website, they’re much more likely to buy.

If you want to create an affiliate marketing system like this, you’ll need the following:

1. A squeeze page, and even better a Video squeeze page.
2. Several high-quality content pages
3. An email series with at least 5 high-quality content emails

The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. This page is where you collect your visitors’ contact info and add them to your autoresponder, which in turn starts sending them the multi-part email series. Once your visitors have been subscribed to your email series, they are sent to your content pages.

The content pages provide valuable information for your visitors and make them more receptive to the sales message that you’ll link to from inside the content. And even if they don’t buy on the first visit, your email series sends them back to the product sales page again and again to increase your sales.

Putting all of these pieces together will increase your sales by 500% or more, so it’s obviously worth the time and energy to do it. After setting it up, you simply send visitors to your squeeze page instead of the sales page. And the rest runs on auto-pilot.

One option, if you’re not up to the challenge of setting this all up yourself, is to let someone like Affiliate Silver Bullet do it for you. These kinds of services will build the whole system for you and then just give you a video squeeze page (with video), pre-written emails, content pages, etc. On the plus side, you’ll save a ton of time and money vs. trying to build this yourself. Plus you can get started instantly. The drawback is that you won’t be the only one using these affiliate tools. But the internet is huge, so this shouldn’t really affect you.

Alternatively, you can use a service like Elance to “outsource” each of these compnents. Whichever way you decided to go, it’s critical to get an affiliate marketing system like this in place, if you’re at all serious about your business.

Number one Blunder Newbie Online marketers Make in Internet Affiliate Marketing

Internet affiliate marketing is common as an internet cash flow generator for both newbies and experienced entrepreneurs at the same time. It’s not too difficult to start with, and also it need not cost much, if any cash to get it done. A success in many ways. Nonetheless, it’s not foolproof. Quite a few inexperienced internet marketers start off having ideas of heaps of cash, as well as lavish dreams and then quit in disappointment. The problem is not really with affiliate marketing online but with the methods used to make use of it. There is always one mortal error several newbies make, they get scattered.

A number of fresh affiliate marketers get scattered out of frustration, others because they are unable to select a single product to back.

The Problem of Frustration

The anxious beginning online marketers manifest in 2 alternative ways. The 1st set gets going imagining they need to open up a lot of affiliate campaigns in order to get the most visibility. The theory is apparently to publish numerous diverse promotions and hope one hits big, or simply a good deal of them show a little bit of revenue to make a single huge profit.

The next group of desperate newbie internet marketers do start out with only one product, and they work it hard for a few months and expect it’s going to take off and produce thousands of dollars monthly right off the bat. It’s possible they have followed the attractive guidance of some of the teachers guaranteeing fast and easy money with affiliate promotion. Real truth be told, there are riches, but it’s work. If this was not work, everyone would execute it, plus it almost certainly would not reward well. If these people fail to start seeing instantaneous profits in the quantities they’ve imagined, these people get anxious and start hunting for the product or service which will do that for them, and very soon they are operating much like the scatter online advertiser in the initial group of desperate marketers.

The Choice Difficulty

One other type of online marketer that becomes caught up in the scatter approach to affiliate marketing is the one which sees so many fantastic products which they truly have faith in, that they are unable to pick. There are a lot of great products. A lot of those products and services possess verified affiliate track records. It really is not easy to choose, nevertheless, you need to.

Avoiding the Scatter

The key to steering clear of the scatter because of desperation is to be sensible about how quickly your internet profits will develop. Offline business take a while to develop and so do internet ones. The fact is that it actually is easier online, additionally, the overhead is almost nil makes the online business much more stable, however it still requires a lot of hard work and time for it to get it to where it’s generating a profit. If you’re anxious for money, try having a job part time, or perhaps preserving your day career for those who have 1 while you cultivate your company online.

The best way to Pick the Appropriate Product to market

For those who plainly cannot select the ideal product or service, and seriously feel motivated to promote every great idea out there, stop and relax. For starters, the entire notion of centering on one, or perhaps at the most two products to start with doesn’t suggest you’ll never advertise some other product. It means that you ought to focus all of your current time and energy on each of them independently till they grow prior to incorporating more.

Decide on your sector initially. Choose things you are enthusiastic about for the theme. If it is weight loss, fitness, baking, offshore fishing or basket weaving, it is best that you select something you are able to identify with so you can promote the associated item with that identical enthusiasm and authority. Of course, you don’t need to love it, but most sales people, whether or not they operate on the internet and / or offline, will tell you that the most successful sales people believe in the goods they are selling.

You’re dead wrong if you think you know anything about being an affiliate. The tactics of the past few years just don’t work anymore. And if you don’t change your tactics, you cannot survive.

The promise

Unfortunately, you’ve been led to believe affiliate marketing is easy. This is partially true. It’s far easier that developing, selling and supporting your own product. But “easier” doesn’t mean “easy”.

Here’s the ugly truth

To top it off you’ve been given false information. The first thing you’re taught is to pick some great products. Next do some keyword research. Then buy some keyword ads that send traffic to the product. And just enjoy the commissions. But this just won’t work!

Keywords are dead

Keyword advertising used to work. But the competition has shot the price of keywords through the roof. So, throw it all away.

The NEW game

There is a solution to this problem. Follow this method and win again…

• Do CPA marketing instead of product promotion
• Utilize demographics data
• Market on display networks

Do CPA marketing instead of product promotion

CPA means Cost Per Action. It’s far superior to product promotion. Because your visitor doesn’t have to buy anything. You get paid when they take an “action”. Such as filling in a form. And it’s much easier to get them to do that.

Do demographics research

Don’t waste time researching keywords (see below). So spend your time doing demographics research. First, select the CPA offer you want to promote. Then go to a site like Quantcast.com. And research what kinds of people will be interested.

Use image ads

So you know what your promoting and you know who will be interested. You can advertise directly to them on display networks. Using image ads. And there was no keyword research required. Plus you’re going to save a ton of money. Keyword ads are expensive, but image ads are still cheap.

Summing it up

This is powerful method to make money online. Because it’s free to get started in CPA. It’s much cheaper to do image ads than keyword ads. Display networks let you do demographics targeting. And your commission is much easier to earn.

A couple weeks ago I noticed I was suddenly making a lot less sales than I was used too. Now I wasn’t quite sure what was causing this – especially since this is normally one of the best times of my year for selling. I went ahead and remade my opt-in pages and rewrote my entire sales funnel and split tested. The results? Absolutely no difference, it was converting at under 5%… that’s atrocious!

After spending some time talking to others and trying to get to the bottom of this I realized why I wasn’t making sales – or rather, why I wasn’t getting credit for the sales that I actually WAS making. Apparently there is a new problem called link hijacking that is becoming more and more prevalent with affiliate marketing. Basically this means that no matter how good my sales funnel was, or how many people it convinced to buy a product, I wouldn’t get any sales.

I guess I should quickly explain how link hijacking works. There are two different ways with the second being more common and more easily avoidable – if you know how.

The first way is that when you direct someone to a product, they change the affiliate ID to their own to credit themselves with the sell. This is hard to stop because they know what they’re doing and are most likely an affiliate themselves. This is just something you have to get used to, but this shouldn’t affected your sales nearly as much as the next way.

The other thing that can cause you to not get credit for a sale is spyware. More notably a new type of spyware that is now invading the internet that will automatically change affiliate ID’s to those of the spyware’s creators. That means that the more work you put into making sells, the more sells you are making – for the creator of that spyware!

One way to mostly fix the first problem and completely fix the second problem is through the process of link cloaking. This means that you hide the url to the website with your own redirect cloak so that spyware can’t change the affiliate ID and users can’t find it to change it themselves.

You may have heard of services such as TinyURL or Bit.LY, these are great services for shortening URLs, but they shouldn’t be used for link cloaking because they often break affiliate cookies (which means you won’t get credit for sales). Instead you should find one of the link cloaks available specifically for affiliate marketing.

I recommend you download this report, ‘Cloak & Dagger Affiliate Secrets’. It covers link cloaking, how to do it, and the best services for affiliate marketing. If you’re sick of missing out on sales that you should be making, or you just don’t want it to happen to you, you should at least read through this report. I’m offering it to you for FREE – so there’s no risk at all.
