TELL ME ABOUT CLICKBANK FIRST

Sure thing... Even though AssocTRAC is very low cost compared to other affiliate-control programs, it could be that your budget is tight, and buying it is out of the question.

It might also be that, like me, you don't live in USA, so you don't have a USA checking account. In which case, it's nigh impossible to write out dollar checks to your associates.

Okay, here comes Mr. ClickBank, the knight in shining armor.

Clickbank will run your affiliate program for you for ZERO dollars. (At the time of writing this, they charge $1.00 plus 7.5% for each transaction. However, there are no monthly merchant account fees and no charge for administering your affiliate program).

You pay a one-time $50 registration fee to open a merchant account with them, and then you're straight in business with your own hands-free affiliate program.

Clickbank also has a Marketplace with over 2,500 successful web stores and 100,000 affiliates. This creates even more visits and sales. It's worth big money to be in there.

A great resource, I'm telling you.

BUT THERE'S A DRAWBACK. (There always is, isn't there?)

In fact, there are TWO drawbacks.

First, Clickbank can only be used for digital products like e-books and computer software… stuff that can be downloaded instantly from your site.

I don’t have a solution for that.

Second, Clickbank has a maximum commission level of 50%, and it is strictly Single-Tier.

I DO have a solution for that.

Here's how I get around using Clickbank for a SUPER-affiliate with a multi-level requirement...

I duplicate my original site. That's not usually too much work, because typically these sites are one or two page "mini-sites" that are quickly and easily duplicated.

I set up a ClickBank account at 50% commission and I tell my SUPER-affiliate all the details (UserName and Password) so that she, too, has full access to the ClickBank Administration area.

My SUPER-affiliate then gets to work, generating sales and recruiting ordinary affiliates (who pick up the 50% commission).

This just leaves me having to calculate the extra 20% that is due to my SUPER-affiliate. That's no big task.

And, by changing the name in the administration area, we can agree between us who should get the next ClickBank check. That means that, until the very final whistle, ClickBank even sends the money to whichever one of us is due it.

Hey, it's not perfect, but it's easily workable.

So let's sum up...

1.) Concentrate on turning you customers into affiliates.

2.) Find other affiliates and Super-affiliates using INTERNET SUCCESS SPIDER

3.) Automate the process using AssocTRAC or ClickBank

Place the link to your affiliate’s page on YOUR on web page and always advertise YOUR page.

In other words, don’t advertise the affiliate’s page directly.

Getting the hits on YOUR page adds up on your traffic counter. That allows you to charge more to your sponsors when displaying their advertisement on your web pages (banner ads and text ads).

If a sponsor is willing to pay you “per impression” it means you’re getting paid for every visitor you get on your page. Why give the money straight to your affiliate?

Your 10000hits downline are your affiliates.

Whether you see yourself as an affiliate or as a site owner, the 10,000hits program is the bedrock of your traffic magnet (you’ll understand why as we progress towards completion of the TheTrafficJam™ Formula).

Clearly, you want this program to be as successful as possible, since it uses the synergy between smaller traffic-pulling programs and ties them all together into one powerful, condensed flow of site visitors.

In order to achieve maximum success, you need to follow ALL the program steps in order to fill your matrix and also you need to assist your downline to do the same.

Tangible support for your downline can be successfully achieved with a “welcome” note that encourages them to obtain a copy of this book. That way, they will quickly understand the power of the program that they have just joined.

If you do not plan to sell this book you can, of course, just become an affiliate for me and let them buy from my site.

Alternatively, you already know that you are free to GIVE them a copy!

Encouraging your downline to complete the 10,000hits program and reach Gold Status is an integral part of your traffic-pulling formula.

You should think of them as your affiliates, and give them every encouragement possible.

By making sure they have a copy of TheTrafficJam™ Formula, you are helping them achieve their goals and also helping them to understand the reason why 10,000hits is so important in the big picture - something that you, yourself, will come to understand as we progress.

Your 10,000hits downline are your affiliates. GIVE THEM YOUR FULL SUPPORT.

Give them MULTI-LEVEL commission...

Explanation...

a.You have a product that sells for $100.
b.You offer your affiliates 50% commission
c.For every sale that comes through them, you pay them $50 and you keep the other $50.

That's SINGLE TIER commission...

Here's MULTI-LEVEL commission…

a.You have the same product that sells for $100
b.You offer your super-affiliate 70% commission on all sales that come directly through her.
c.You also offer your super-affiliate 20% on ALL sales that come through ordinary affiliates who SHE recruits into the scheme.
d.The ordinary affiliates are paid 50% commission.

That's MULTI-LEVEL commission...

But that only leaves me with 30%, I hear you say.

Quit complaining and listen to reason. Most people would agree that it's better to have 30% of a lot of money than 100% of nothing.

Of course, you've got to make certain your costs are covered, but if you were to give me a choice between $10 clear profit on a $100 product, or no sale and no profit…

It’s a no-brainer, isn’t it?

So how do you administer a thing like this?

Guys, there are two ways of doing this. There's Graham’s way, and there's the hard way.

The hard way? .... Ignore my advice and do your own thing.

The easy way? ... Use either AssocTRAC or Click Bank

What's the difference?

Use AssocTRAC if you want to run a multi-Level affiliate scheme. Use ClickBank if you want to run a single-level scheme.

AssocTRAC is special software that is easily installed (by the vendors), and that completely automates the entire associates process for pennies on the dollar.

It takes just a few hours of your time every month. All you need to do is sign the checks. It is that simple. Everything else is automated.

Affiliate programs are responsible for the success of almost every e-business giant on the Internet today, from Amazon.com down.

Do what the wealthy webmasters are doing and you'll become a wealthy Webmaster too.

With this incredible new technology you now have the ability to easily administer hundreds, even thousands of high-traffic affiliates, who will increase your sales and profits exponentially.

If you're serious about getting and keeping SUPER-affiliates, I urge you get AssocTRAC today.

How do I find affiliates?

Secret Source...

Do you know how to tap into a super-affiliate's list?

What is a SUPER-affiliate? Someone who works faster, talks faster, signs faster, sells faster? What?

A super-affiliate is the one person who already has all the visitors, subscribers, and affiliates that you want and need.

She probably already has an e-zine with hordes of loyal followers.

She probably already has her own Web site with a big affiliate program.

A super-affiliate is the person you want to propose a multi-level deal to. (Two tiers of commission)

She will love it, join it and, in the blink of an eye, her and her big list can become YOUR DOWNLINE.

This is one of the BIG SECRETS of the Web. It’s not a particularly well-guarded secret, but it's still a secret that can make you rich.

Super-affiliates are all around you. Go to any search engine and millions of them appear. Not only that... on the Internet, they even appear by category, by topic, by interest, by business, by product, by hobby... the place is full of them.

You want SUPER-affiliates for a site that promotes health products? Go to the search engines, search on health products and see what the top sites are.

The owners of these sites are the people who can become your super-affiliates. These are the top-earners, the big traffic sites, the people who know what they're doing. (Don't confuse search-engine favorites with sites that pay per click)

So why advertise when you can simply tap into the list of super-affiliates? They already have all the visitors and all the subscribers you need.

You mail to one super-affiliate and, if she mails to her list, or puts a link on her site, you just got a personal recommendation letter sent to 20,000 30,000 or 100,000 readers for FREE... Yup, that's mega free promotion for having sent one e-mail to one person. Talk about working efficiently!

By the way, did I tell you I was a mind reader?

I didn't?

It's just that I hear you thinking; “Yeah but these super-affiliate guys are probably going to be busy as hell and may not have the time to answer me.”

And I hear you thinking; “I’m gonna have to mail to a lot of them before I get a positive response.”

And I hear you thinking, “I sure don't see myself browsing through search engines and visiting each web site manually in order to find the e-mail addresses of these super-whatsits.”

So you're lazy. So what? We all are!

It's no problem.

I have the perfect solution for you.

You want to contact thousands of web site owners without ever visiting their sites?

You want to hear about an on-line service that finds precisely the SUPER-affiliates you want, not only web site owners but, like I say, the SUPER-affiliates?

It's called Internet Success Spider and it's like getting 1000 people on the task all at once. Using it wisely will find you all the super-affiliates you need.

Not only that, but when you purchase Internet Success Spider, Neil Shearing, whose software it is, will GIVE you his e-book “The Irresistible Formula” that tells you exactly HOW to approach a super-affiliate and ask for their support.

If you see yourself as a site owner, and you're starting your hunt for affiliates – THIS is the tool to buy. Internet Success Spider is available by clicking here.

This revolutionary software (which Neil had custom written by an incredibly talented Perl programmer), locates SUPER Affiliates of any site YOU choose like a heat-seeking missile!

It runs in your web-browser so it doesn't matter if you have a PC or Mac. This software just uses WebPages.

There's no downloading, editing, uploading, installing, setting permissions, and all the other nightmares. You just access a WebPages and the Spider is ready to go.

You just enter a Web site and it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

The software…

1. Queries the search engines and finds out which sites link to the site you entered (the affiliates)

2. Queries the search engines AGAIN and finds out how many sites link to each affiliate site

3. Returns the results in order, from most links to fewest.

The ones with the most links are the SUPER Affiliates of the Web site you entered.

Now THAT is automated progress like you’ve never seen it.☺

And even if you don't have a dime to buy software, you can still go into any search-engine and write to the web site owners.

This isn't SPAM since you don't advertise anything. You only want to build a good business relation between two businesspeople. It's the equivalent of writing a letter. Without Internet Spider, the process will be a lot less efficient, but it will work nonetheless.

If you’re trawling through the Web sites manually and can’t find an e-mail address, try admin@domain.com or webmaster@domain.com

It often works because most sites carry this address for people to be able to contact them about site problems.

In fact, many sites have a 'catch-all' address so you could send your e-mail to threeblindmice@domain.com, and it would probably still get there!

Internet Success Spider will actually find the e-mail addresses for you. Manually, you may not find an address to write to. Lots of sites don't have a contact e-mail address.

Back to SUPERAFFILIATES... If only one super-affiliate posts to her entire list about your offer, you will get more visitors in one day than you got during the whole month previous. Imagine if you use Spider to get lots of super-affiliates.

You're breaking open those floodgates.

But, to multiply your chances of being accepted by the super-affiliate, you need an affiliate system.

Super-affiliates will only participate in your scheme if they have something to gain. Why should promoters send you visitors if they have nothing to gain?

Give them a GOOD incentive and they will start sending messages to their list, and visitors will come in their thousands.

Remember; you have the product and they have the prospective buyers.

Make them an offer they can't refuse...

Chapter 2 - AFFILIATE MARKETING (PART 3)

GIVE IT TO THEM FREE… that way you will build a great sales force and get better trained and better motivated affiliates.

This, in turn, will result in more visitors to your web site, more sales and more income. And if you didn't buy this book to improve your income, what are you doing here?

Don't forget that site owners, too, can become affiliates. Take a look at my own affiliate program at TheTrafficJam.com and use the pop-up window method to attract extra sales. I use it myself to promote other people's products that I'm satisfied with.

The only part of the code that you will need to change to use it on your site, is the bit at the beginning that says

"http://hop.clickbank.net/?nickname/1traffic1/”

You should replace this with the URL to whatever page you want to open behind yours. For example: -

"http://topprofits.info/opt-in.html”

Okay, okay, I'm taking this opportunity to sell you on becoming an affiliate and signing up to my Newsletter ... so what? THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, isn’t it?

I want YOU to become MY traffic-producers, and what's the good of showing you these methods if I don't practice what I
preach?

Tell me about YOUR product and convince me to become one of YOUR super-affiliates. Just make sure you have a great, original product and that it's worth my while financially.

Here's an idea... Write your own e-book. Fill it with great ideas. Innovate and give stuff away. Make sure your purchasers get 200% value for money. But don't forget to PROMOTE your own site(s). It's one of the ways to get traffic, and getting site traffic is what this e-book is all about.

Tell you what... give THIS e-book away in your Newsletter. You already have my permission.

You bought it - it's yours to do what you like with, and with a bit of luck, you'll not only promote your own Newsletter, you'll help make my e-zine more popular. WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER.

By the way, while you’re in my affiliate section picking up that code, take a look at the Marketing Ideas page. You may find something that sparks the germ of an idea for you.

Chapter 2 - AFFILIATE MARKETING (PART 2)

Just in case you're not familiar with the concept of an affiliate program, here's (briefly) how it works...

a.When you have an affiliate program, other people can advertise your product or service on their web site, or in their e-zine (newsletter).

b.When a visitor is sent to your site by an affiliate, the visitor is "tagged" using a special code that is unique to the affiliate.

c.You pay the affiliate a pre-established percentage of the sale if the visitor purchases your product or service.

d.If the visitor does not buy, you incur no expense.

Affiliate programs have literally revolutionized the way business is done on the Internet.

An Affiliate Program is the least risky, least expensive way, by far, to acquire new customers and to explode your sales in a short period of time.

It sure beats the heck out of paying for ineffective advertising up front.

So if you own a product and web site, the best thing you can do is to create your own affiliate program and reduce your search for raw visitors or surfers. Focus, instead, on offering an income opportunity to online promoters (affiliates).

Good ones are specialized in sending traffic to web sites. It is their job, their specialty. They already know how to do it. Commit yourself to providing them with a great earning opportunity.

Also, DO NOT try to handle everything manually. You'll hear this, time and again from successful netrepreneurs ... for a very good reason ... because IT'S TRUE.

You MUST automate everything.

When your affiliates start sending you swarms of visitors, you must be ready. You’ll need a lot of information to do it right from day one. Too many people waste too much time trying to do too many things - mostly because they didn't have the right information to start with. Model on the successful sites (all of which are automated).

Remember that 95% of web sites don't make a dime…It could have something to do with the fact that most of them are NOT automated.

Be aware, as I’ve said, that putting together your own web site is a LOT of work. (You probably already know that.) However, if you are capable of transforming visitors into buyers, then that's the way to go because your affiliates will be happy to send you their traffic. They need you to transform their hits into money. Hits don't pay their bills. Money does.

Site owners and affiliates need each other. They are the two sides of the same coin, and when did you ever see a one-sided coin?

To keep good affiliates, make sure your site SELLS.

Not everyone has a talent with words. No problem, there are programs out there that can help you with that. Take a look, for example at Marlon Sanders' Web Selling System (better known as his “Ad Copy Secrets”) or his Push Button Letters program.

All you do is fill in the blanks, click a button, and you get a sales letter nicely formatted on a web page when you're finished. Just polish it up some, link it to your order form and you're off and running.

Tell your affiliates about THIS e-book, so that they, too, can learn how to pull even more FREE traffic.

Chapter 2 - AFFILIATE MARKETING (PART 1)

HAVING your own affiliate program WILL explode your traffic.

But only if you're a site owner.

If you define yourself purely as an affiliate (using the criteria in the previous chapter), you do not need to read this chapter. This is part of the recipe that ONLY applies to site owners - except for the section right at the end of the chapter entitled “Your 10000hits downline are your affiliates”.
If you see yourself purely as an affiliate, please read that section. Then, while the site owners learn how to put money in YOUR pockets, why don't you go to 10,000hits and start earning some traffic credits?
You can join us again for the next chapter.
Before we begin, can I just make a very strong comment to any of you who are not yet a site owner, but are planning to become one.

If you’ve read these strange e-publications that claim you can set your own site up for next-to-no-money, DON’T BELIEVE THEM.

Even if, like me, you learn to write html documents and build your own sites, the initial costs can be quite prohibitive. Until you really get involved, it is quite impossible to estimate the money that is required for good hosting, getting a merchant account, a shopping basket, auto-responder, building a mailing list, developing a product, blah blah blah…

I don’t want to put you off, but I DO want you to be aware that you’ll hear a lot of rubbish on this subject, from people who are trying to sell you something.

Setting up your own site from scratch is not something to be considered lightly. On the other hand, if you’ve got the nerve, the money, and the spare time, GO FOR IT, because it can be rewarding in every sense of the word.

Enough with the lecture … Back to the story line.

Okay, site owners, now it's your turn to add some ingredients to the recipe. And this is the number one best way to get visitors.

This is THE CREAM.

If you want to get a heap of visitors without paying a dime in advertising for the rest of your Internet life, CREATE YOUR OWN AFFILIATE PROGRAM. Because, once you start this snowball rolling, it just keeps getting bigger and BIGGER and BIGGER

You should use all the other secrets revealed in this e-book, but you should have one goal in mind... to convince your visitors to become your customers, and to…

convince your customers to become your affiliates.

Every reader of your newsletter must learn about your affiliate program. Everyone you talk to must learn about your affiliate program. It is, without a doubt, the best recipe for long-term success.

Use all the short-term techniques to build your affiliate program and you will be building a long-term campaign.

You know that the best concept in the world is leverage. So USE THE LEVERS.

As a site owner, having your own associate program is the fastest, most effective way to snowball your sales and dominate your online market.

Period.

It's awesome. Tell me a better way to get hundreds of high-traffic web sites to sell for you - Risk-Free, and at no cost to you.

You can NEVER lose money because you don't pay until a sale is made.
