In getting ready to write this article, I wanted to open with a joke about affiliates.
I typed in “affiliate joke” into Google, unsure of what results I would get.
Would you believe... there is an affiliate program for something called, “Daily Dirty Joke?”
That’s right, it’s official: There is now an affiliate program for EVERYTHING you can imagine.
That’s terrific for affiliates because it gives them choices...
LOTS of choices.
So many choices, in fact, that they may never see - much less consider - promoting your offers for you.
Long gone are the days of, “Put it online, and affiliates will ask to promote for you.”
True, once you have a very proven track ... read more

You've heard that outsourcing is a great way to grow your business (that's true).
And while you'd like to get started right away, maybe it all seems a little overwhelming.
You're not sure where to start or what steps to take to get the process rolling.
Good news: You can get started with outsourcing in just four easy steps. Read on...
Step 1: Determine Your Needs

Have you ever seen a bonus for a product that included some kind of one-on-one coaching?
For example, it might be a mini-course in which participants send in their assignments each day for comments.
Or maybe participants are allowed to email one question per day for 30 days.
It’s some kind of non-automated simplified coaching that takes a real person to fulfill.
And if you’re like me, you wondered how in the heck this product seller was going to be able to grade all those assignments, or answer all those questions, or whatever.
Well, here’s the dirty little secret: Most, and I mean MOST of the participants will never actually participate.
Let’s say the ... read more

Generally speaking, the more things you offer your customers, the more money you will make.
And if you don’t have a wide range of price points in your products, then you are losing money.
A good marketer who’s been doing this for awhile will have products priced from $7 all the way up to 4 figure coaching programs, and even 5 figure consulting packages.
But I see a good number of marketers get stuck on those higher priced products, because they think they’re tough to make.
They’re not.
First, let me clarify that monster video courses are no longer the greatest upsell in the world. In fact, I would suggest you steer clear of trying to ... read more

Have you ever wondered why some online marketers seem to be so much more successful than others?
Or why one marketer bounces back from a failure within days, while another one gives up and begs for his old job back?
Or why you see some online marketers everywhere, and other marketers hear only crickets?
Here are seven clues on what sets some online marketers apart from others...
Believe in Yourself
Successful online marketers believe in themselves and their business. When the going gets tough and when you make mistakes, it’s your belief that will pull you through.
You’ve got to believe that you are fully capable of building this six or seven figure business, that you are able to bring ... read more

I once knew a dairy farm girl who could make her cows follow her about like puppy dogs.
All she had to do was get one or two of them to walk with her, and the entire rest of the herd would fall into place to see where they were going.
After all, they didn’t want to miss anything... like maybe some fresh green grass or alfalfa!
People are like this, too.
If you get a few of them to follow you, then the rest of the herd will follow, too.
Not that I’m calling your customers cows, or anything, but it works the same way with people as it does ... read more

You work hard to build your sales funnel. You’re buying traffic, but your funnel isn’t converting well enough to fully pay for that traffic.
Which means, you’re in the red. Yes, you are building your list, and yes, over time you will recoup your money from your list by promoting other products.
But wouldn’t it be great if you could get your funnel in the black NOW, so that you can buy all the traffic you want and build your list as fast as you want?
Think of a big house – one that you love, but it costs too much on your income. What do you do?
You take in a renter ... read more

I got a free trial download of a very popular software program. I used it, liked it, and when the trial was over, I wanted to buy the software.
But guess what? No where... and I mean NO WHERE – on the order form did it tell me if I was getting the software for one month, one year or a lifetime.
I “think” it was an annual fee. But I wasn’t sure. And that is why I didn’t buy it.
Make no mistake: This is a MAJOR BRAND NAME software, not some new start-up, but an established company that should know better.
Then today I get an unrelated email from someone telling ... read more
