Affiliate News

Affiliate marketing can be an excellent resource for income. Whether it be part-time with a supplemental income or full-time with a large income flow is entirely your choice. It all depends on the time and effort you intend to commit as goes with any other business. I have created Affiliate News to try and help you find who, what, when, where and why of it all. I have spent a lot of time researching affiliate marketing and everything you find here is only a very small example of what is out there. Research, Research, Research is the key factor for Affiliate Marketing as with any other home business also.

100% Payout

Whether you're a full-blown affiliate marketer only or you're like most affiliate marketers mixing a little adsense ... AdSpyTracker is perfect for you.

AdSpyTracker is a new tool created by Matt Callen that gives you the ability to fully track your adsense. (This means no more guesswork!)

I have to say this little tool literally targets almost everyone in the marketing industry.

For one, almost everyone uses Adsense. And since Google seems to enjoy making the whole adsense thing a big ole secret ... AdSpyTracker is changing this in revolutionary ways.

For two, the price is something anyone can afford! I'm sure anyone who's even remotely interested in increasing their adsnense income can scrape up a measely $9.99.

And lastly for your full-blown affiliate marketers, AdSpyTracker has what's called a closed affiliate program which essentially means, you can't be an affiliate without at least trying AdSpyTracker first! Why? Because the payout is 100%! Yup, you recommend just one of these babies and you've already earned back your investment! The rest is all profit.

AdSpyTracker is changing the way folks use their adsense and increasing the income possibilities!

But hey, don't just take my word for it ... check it out yourself!

PayDotCom vs ClickBank

PayDotCom is the new paypal-based alternative to ClickBank.
As an affiliate you can promote the products listed at
PayDotCom just like you can at ClickBank - it's simply a new
affiliate network that you can join for free and earn money
through product sales. The only major difference is that you
dont have to wait for a check to arrive in the mail... they
payout via PayPal.

As a merchant, PayDotCom has a lot of features that make it
a more appealing option than ClickBank. For starters, your
merchant account is free (unlike ClickBank which charges a
$49.95 activation fee).

And again, you dont have to wait for a check - in fact, when
one of your products sell (either directly, or through one
of your affiliates) the money goes directly into your PayPal
or Stormpay account. There's no waiting period at all.

Another perk is that you can sell an unlimited number of
products through your PayDotCom account. With ClickBank you
can only sell one product per account (unless you purchase
EasyClickMate software to get around this) - which means you
pay $49.95 to set up each product on ClickBank. PayDotCom does
have a one time $29 activation fee for multiple products, but
that one fee will allow you to set up an unlimited number of
products.

You can also sell both physical and digital products through
PayDotCom. You can even set up subscription based items, such
as a membership-based site or ongoing service. ClickBank only
allows you to list digital goods, such as info products.

It just makes sense to choose PayDotCom over ClickBank.
There are tons of reasons why... but another one of the big
differences is that PayDotCom allows you to email all of
your affiliates - ClickBank does not. That has been one of
the major problems with ClickBank - that you had no idea who
your affiliates were, and no way to contact them. Add in the
fact that you had no control over refunds, were forced to
offer a specific guarantee and had no real stats to work
with... and ClickBank was extremely restrictive. However, it
was the best option for a long time because it was one of the
only options (outside of setting up the software to manage
your own affiliate program in-house).

I signed up for a free acount myself, so I've had an opportunity
to check things out behind the scenes. It's very easy to use,
and they offer a lot of features to both the affiliate and the
merchant. I was impressed with it, myself - and am surprised I
havent heard more talk about it than I have.

Check it out for yourself: http://paydotcom.net/?affiliate=8361
Click the Vendors button there on the main page, and then click
the "check it out to compare..." link.

I'm not sure why anyone would even choose ClickBank anymore,
now that PayDotCom is available. For years now there has been
talk about inaccurate reporting at ClickBank, "dry spells"
where no sales were reported at all in accounts that get
consistent sales otherwise, etc. With all of that in question,
and all of the features lacking that any good affiliate
program manager should offer... I see ClickBank needing to
make major changes, or phasing out altogether.

And I'll give you one more reason to sign up for a free
account, if you havent already: You can refer other people
to PayDotCom and earn $5 for every new free account that
results from your recommendation. I remember when PayPal
first appeared on the scene... and offered a $10 referral
commission. Since the accounts were free, a lot of people
signed up when they were introduced to PayPal by someone
else... and many people made hundreds - even thousands -
of dollars on those referrals!

This is another such opportunity ;)


The link I gave above (http://paydotcom.net/?affiliate=8361)
is my own referral link. It will cost you absolutely nothing
to set up a free account - through which you can promote other
people's products, or set up your own to sell - and I will
earn $5 when you do that. From there you can share your own
link with others, and earn $5 for every referral (in addition
to selling products for commission, or kick-starting your
own affiliate program).

PayDotCom stands to benefit YOU in several ways... and by
signing up (again, at 0 cost to you) you can also support
all of my work here online at the same time.

A win/win for us both ;)

AffiliateJournal.com

David Christopher (ahem..Dave) has a really great blog for you Affiliate Marketers who are tired of listening to the "self proclaimed" internet marketing gurus come out with the newest and greatest (of course!) "product" that's sure to make you rich. Dave calls himself a "hidden" affiliate marketer. His definition of this is:

the one's that sit back quietly buidling up their net worth adn building multiple income streams all while laughing at all the "self titled" Internet marketing gurus that claim to hold the next "secret" to the Internet.

I love Dave's tell it like it is, I don't care who you are kind of attitude. I myself am tired of trying to keep up with the "newest and greatest secret" around and frankly, if I bought every new one that came out, I'd be flushing my commissions down the drain.

To me, the idea of affiliate marketing is to make the commission for yourself and your wants/needs. Not to spend all the commissions on the newest secret. And what's all this stuff called "secrets"...it's not a secret it everybody and their brother can buy it. Oh, I'm sorry...you have to be one of the first 400 buyers! Ah, I see so it's a semi-secret?

Anyway, if you're looking for a new and fresh look at affiliate marketing, good tell it like it is tips, with just a bit of edge, without the hype head on over to http://www.affiliatejournal.com and tell Dave I said hi!

6 Things to Increase Your Affiliate Income

So you've signed up for affiliate programs, posted links around the net but you're still only making pocket change? Wonder what others are doing that you aren't? Below you will find 6 things that every affiliate marketer needs to increase their income.

#1 - Your own Website:

Build a website to promote the product. Make sure it has its own paid for domain name (yourproduct.com), not a free site like (yourproduct.othersitename.com). If you don't know how to build a website there are lots of places that offer simple site builders or you could choose to have someone build a site for you.

#2 - Write reviews:

You need to know your product and preferable use it yourself so that you can write honest reviews about it. What better way to promote a product and get people to believe it's great than to say you use it too? Post these reviews on your website, in your newsletters, articles and any other site you visit that gives you an opportunity to do so.

#3 - Use a Blog:

I recommend that you get a Blog and link back and forth to your website. This will allow you to create discussions on the blog about the product you are selling and list any updates to your regular website. Active Blogs are indexed quicker by many search engines than are new sites, and after the blog is indexed, the pages you have linked to the blog will also get indexed.

#4 - Write Articles:

One of the best ways to become an expert on your product is to write articles on the Internet and include a link to your website in the resource box. There is a plethora of places to submit articles and the more you write, the more people will trust what you are saying. You get more exposure, more people coming to your website; more click thorough of your affiliate link to purchase the product thus making you more money.

#5 - Put your links in your signature lines:

Never allow a sale to pass you by! If you are a member of even one forum, you need to have your affiliate link in your signature line. It's free advertisement and you never know who will see it and click through to check out your product.

#6 - Use Links instead of banners or buttons:

Due to the overwhelming amount of pop-ups and flashy text that we get each time we visit a website, people have learned to block out these as well as banners and buttons. It's much more professional looking and effective to have a text link with a few lines about the product.

If you are serious about increasing your affiliate income I suggest you at least do some further research on the things I have listed. If you choose to use these suggestions and take the time to do them correctly, I believe you will see an increase in your income.

Tips from Mr. Clickbank himself

Who is Mr. Clickbank you say?
Mr. Clickbank is none other than my good friend Harvey Segal.

(By the way, if you'd like to get to know Harvey like I have you can stop on over at Lynn's SelfStartersWeeklyTips.com boards or Alan's AssociatePrograms.com boards and ask for Mr. Clickbank aka Mr. Super Tips another well fit nickname and you'll be sure to find him.

He's the acknowledged ClickBank expert with his ClickBank website and forum, and newsletter which has run for the past two years.

So who better to write "ClickBank Affiliate SuperTips" an outstanding ebook packed with tips on how ClickBank affiliates can maximize their ClickBank income.

Just one area of the book alone is worth 10 times the value as Harvey shows how affiliates are throwing their money away using the wrong affiliate links, promoting sites with sales 'leaks' where the vendor gets the commission and having their affiliate links stolen.

All explained by a master of clarity in a book that is well organized, neatly set out, easy to follow, written without hype and not littered with annoying links.

Harvey tells me that in researching this book he went back and re-read every single post at the ClickBank Success Forum. Over 4,000 of them.

Here's just a quick overview of some of the topics discussed in this book...

-Affiliate link theft - what you can do about it
-Sale page leaks - five ways that you are losing out on commission
-Why no ad trackers (except one) can monitor affiliate sales
-How to track which ad campaigns result in affiliate sales - without ad trackers
-Why customers might remove your affiliate link - and how to stop them
-When you should bypass the vendor's sales page - and how to do it
-The reason why a sales page shows multiple ClickBank products - and how you can promote them individually
-How a product can top the Marketplace rankings without ever having a sale
-When the commission shown at the Marketplace is not the real commission

You can check out the rest of the contents of this highly recommended book at ClickBank Affiliate SuperTips

Oh and before I forget...just for the ClickBank Vendors out there...Harvey also has a book just for you. In this book Harvey discusses issues such as:

-How to get approval for a high cost product
-How to get listed quickly in the Marketplace
-How to get a high Marketplace ranking
-How to advertise at the ClickBank site
-How to stop affiliate link theft
-How to JV with a super affiliate
-After the ClickBank Marketplace - other places to search for affiliates
-Multiple products or multiple accounts. Which to choose ?
-How your product gets stolen - and how to stop it
-How to minimize refund requests
-What to do about ClickBank downtime
Vendors can check their book out at ClickBank Vendor Super Tips

Finally, a way to maximize your ClickBank ID!

First a Quick apology

I don't usually make posts like this in this blog but I felt the need to make a quick apology before I jumped right back into things. I've been a bad little worker since Thanksgiving. It's been a while since I've posted much here mainly because I haven't had the extra time to review any new programs/services/resources. Since all the holidays are over and it's a brand new year. It's time to start again and get right back to work. Thats one really nice thing as an affiliate marketer. Passive Income! Of course its important to stay active in promoting your products but, you can also have all your 'ducks' in a row, take some time off and STILL earn money. Isn't being an affiliate marketer great??

Now it's time to get back to work because I did take the time to review one great product. It's an extra special product that will help you possibly triple your affiliate revenue simply by using the easiest affiliate program available. (Hint: Most of you are probably already using this program...)
