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.
