What if you could develop an idea to the point of success and then boil it down to a process that can be replicated endlessly? You could either repeat the process or you could package it and sell it to others. This is how some of the great affiliate marketers have made their biggest successes.

Being an affiliate marketer is a bit like that, you see once you learn how to market a product you can take what you have learned and repeat it with some other product. Most affiliates have several different campaigns in motion at once, particularly those who use ppc marketing.

Just being in that position means you learn things about various industries and markets as well as improving your affiliate marketing skills. So what if you were to take all that info, package it up and sell it? You could do this as an online service like an ebook or course or as a more personally delivered service to local businesses.

The ebook or online course could be sold by you (and your own affiliates if you wish) while your experience could be marketed to other businesses. There must be dozens of small businesses nearby that could use the knowledge you have gained in online marketing. From those who need a simple website to those who need a whole marketing campaign!

The difficulty comes when these systems go too close to the illegal pyramid schemes. Read More…

I’m often asked how to pick affiliate products to promote and I tend to answer that I mainly use three ways. The first involves starting with the available traffic, the second is by seeing what products are hot and the third is by using some info I’ve come across somewhere.

Let me explain a bit more on the first one:

Starting with the Available Traffic
This is simply looking at the type of traffic coming into my existing sites, articles, lenses etc, what keywords they are using, where they are from etc or looking at traffic I get from ppc or other sources then deciding on a good product to pitch to that traffic.

A variation on this is to see what traffic you believe you can get easily or cheaply from articles or ppc and then match that to a product. This is a bit more ‘stab in the dark’ as you don’t yet know how much traffic you can get or how effective its going to be.

To look at the second method:

Spotting Hot Products
There are a few ways to do this. One is to go to shopping.com or ebay pulse and look through Read More…
