Affiliate Marketing Applied
October 29, 2008 by Jeanette
You can read all you want about affiliate marketing, but until you actually DO it, it remains a mystery to you. This is your chance to apply what you’ve read in 3 easy steps.
If you’ve never done affiliate marketing before, you’ll see how easy it is.
If you’re an experienced affiliate marketer, you’ll appreciate the simplicity of this 3-step plan.
We’re going to use the Affiliate Marketing webinar that I’m doing on Thursday as the product.
Step 1: Review the product.
Go to http://AffiliateSuccessTraining.com and review the product (in this case the website will give you enough information.) You’ll want to opt in so you can get the video, plus read the short sales letter.
This is exactly what your clients will see when they visit the page. It’s always best to review the product you are selling before you send your clients over there.
Being familiar with the product makes it easier to recommend and also to customize the marketing materials they provide. Plus it protects your reputation by not promoting any junk.
Step 2: Sign up as an affiliate and choose an affiliate tool. You’ll find the toolbox at

If you’re already a TechTamers’ Affiliate, you can just put your affiliate ID into the blank and get started. If you’re not, just follow the link to the signup page.
By the way, joining an affiliate program should never cost you a penny. If it does, it’s not an affiliate site, it’s a sales program. So beware of any program that wants you to pay a fee up front.
Right now there is a simple email in the toolbox, so your choice of tools is easy. As I add more tools, you’ll have even more ways to promote this webinar – and the resulting product.
Step 3: Send out the email.
Notice the format of the email – one action to take and 3 links to the site. That’s been proven repeatedly to bring the best results when promoting via email.
It’s always a good idea to customize the email, adding details from your perspective.
If you’ve been on a webinar with me before you can talk about how much information you got and how easy it was to understand.
If you reviewed the website, you can add a few sentences about what caught your attention.
Don’t spend too long trying to customize it. It’s most important to actually send the email! Too often we try to get it perfect and never get it sent, so don’t fall into that trap.
And that’s it! The simple 3-step process to Affiliate Success. Of course there will be a LOT more on the webinar, but I wanted to give you this simple action step so that you can get started on your profitable week.
