THE A-Z OF AFFILIATE MARKETING (TOP SECRETS “GURUS” WILL NEVER REVEAL)

Contrary to what Gurus tell you, affiliate marketing is one of the easiest, surest, safest and the most efficient means of earning money online.



First of all, I would like to start this article with the meaning of "affiliate". You have read/heard the word "affiliate" without deeming fit on what it really means. And it is also shocking to know that some of this so-called "gurus" don’t even know what "affiliate" means.



Affiliate according to the Oxford Dictionary is a person or group linked to a large organization.

Having known that, Affiliate Marketing is simply the art of selling (marketing) a product or service that was not produced by you.



Before I start bombarding you with information on how to get hot gravity products and the rest, I will like to include something "Gurus" won’t tell you.

They tell you how to get your products, how to know which product sells best but they won’t tell you how you will get a website knowing too well that a website is the bed-rock of any affiliate business and also that web-development is one of the most tedious jobs around with the likes of HTML, XHTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, SQL, Flash, SMIL to mention a few.



But I’m happy to inform you that there is a site that gives you all these and even more http://www.freesitesignup.com/a/coupon.php?id=37768

Free Site Signup is a website dedicated to people "Gurus" left in the darkness of getting their websites. You can get your own affiliate website @ http://www.freesitesignup.com/a/coupon.php?id=37768 but to be upfront with you if you are really serious about making money through affiliate marketing you need to part in with some cash ($8.89) to be precise.

But if you think you don’t have the money now then you can get the free site and later (after earning some cash) upgrade to the money making package.



Now after getting your website (Click here if you haven’t done that http://www.freesitesignup.com/a/coupon.php?id=37768 ) it’s time to get some product/Services you can market.



Free Site Signup gives you over 35 products/services varying from Software to general reviews like dating tips with landing and squeeze pages but if you think you still need more products/services here are the sites I recommend:-



1. ClickBank:- This is where most affiliate marketers get there products from but trust me I’ve got more companies for you.

But if you want to register with ClickBank you can do that @ www.clickbank.com

Before I move to the next website there are some "Mysteries" about ClickBank I will like to unravel.

a. If you are living in a country where ClickBank is not available (Nigeria for example) then you might be in a big mess!

But what do I do? Simply get a foreign Mailing Address. ClickBank did not including some countries due to some personal reasons but they could send your checks to a mailing address you gave them.

So they send your checks to your mailing address while your making address while your mailing address bring it down to you, right in your house, anywhere in the world!



Please note that while choosing a Mailing Address, choose either an Australian or Canadian mailing. I know you will be asking me why not US address? US address will ask for your Tax ID which you don’t have and don’t need. So to get an "Australian or Canadian Mailing Address" just go to major search engines like www.google.com using the words in quote.



b. After registering you should now get a product, then your affiliate link. To do this visit ClickBank’s Market Place for the best 5 @ www.cbengine.com, www.CBTrends.com

ClickBank offers detailed statistics and information regarding each specific product making it even easier to quickly evaluates the profitably of potential campaigns. They will give these information in the following format:-



 $/Sale: Which means the amount of money you earn for each sale.

 Future $: Average rebill revenue

 Total $/Sale: Average total $ per sale, including re-bills

 % refd: Fraction of publisher’s total sales that are referred by affiliate

 Grav. : The measure of how many affiliates are promoting this product. The gravity of 70 or higher is a sign that the product is still in demand and being actively promoted by other affiliates.



Apart from ClickBank there are other affiliate programs and market places you might be interested in. Here are the one I recommend:-



2. Amazon Market Place:- Amzon is another market place I some much cherish you can register with them @ http://affiliate-program.amazon.com
