Affiliate Marketing Book
Today I want to talk about a really important resource that I have been using that has seriously helped me to fine tune my Internet Marketing skills. It’s an AFFILIATE MARKETING BOOK by Sean Rasmussen, called Year Of The Affiliate. Many of us know Sean and how successful he has become from Internet Marketing in Australia and so I want to really focus on what Year Of The Affiliate can do for you. To start with, have a look at this video that I recently made. It was just a bit of fun as I was playing around with my camera and iDVD software, but it came out quite well and is a great introduction to the book.
As an Affiliate Marketing Book, Year Of the Affiliate is such a great read. It explains in laymans terms, exactly what you need to be focusing on when getting started in affiliate marketing. Some of the topics covered are things like:
- Where to find products that sell
- Do you need a website
- Social Media
- Networking
- Keywords
- Search Engine Optimization
…and a whole host of other topics.
When I first started affiliate marketing about 2 years ago, I was getting nowhere fast! I couldn’t drive traffic to my site, I was losing A LOT of money on Google Adwords Campaigns and the clicks that I were getting, simply weren’t converting to sales.
Please excuse me if this blog post looks like a deliberate attempt at directly selling of a product. I guess in a way it is, but I actually have an alterior motive. What I really want to show you is:
1. How to optimize a post or article, to increase your chances of getting a sale. Have a look at the layout that I have used and what I have done to help the search engine spiders find my article. I’ve used my keyords in the title, I’ve repeated the keywords throughout the post and made them stand out in bold and italic. I’ve used links, bullet points, video’s and images. All of these strategies need to be used in every single post that you write. OK maybe not all of them each time, but the more the better.
2. Why this book is so affective?by looking at what I have done in question 1, hopefully you will see how it can help you to be making money online – FAST.
And if you still need more proof, then check out these results. Recently, I wasn’t even ranked in Google in the top 200, for the search term Wealth Academy. Now I have the top 4 listings in Google out of 323,000 search items.
So there you have it. As they say the proof is in the pudding and I hope this shows how you can be achieving the same results if you follow the correct strategies. From my point of view, Year of the affiliate is an absolute must. Get your copy today and then go to my free forum to become a member and get online support.

So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?
Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.
Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.
When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.
What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.
How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.
What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.
Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.
Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.
Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.
Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% – 20% is the commission paid by most programs. .01% – .05% is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the figures, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.
These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.
