Understanding Affiliate Commissions

Now that you have decided to become an affiliate marketer your next step is to search out affiliate programs to join. There are lots of affiliate programs and one consideration to make when selecting them is to see what type of commissions they offer.

An affiliate commission is the payment you receive for sending a buyer to a certain website via your affiliate link. After the sale has been made you will be notified that you have earned a commission.

The thing about commission rates is that they vary. Some affiliate programs can offer as much as 75% while others such as the Amazon program pays out less than $10%.

When looking at commissions you need to take the actual product into consideration as well. If you are promoting a high ticket price such as a diamond ring or necklace then a 10% can still mean a nice pay day! But if you are only going to earn 4% on a $5 ebook then you have to determine if your effort is going to be worth the paycheck!

If you were to promote internet marketing products on a site like JV Zoo, then you can expect to earn higher commission rates. Plus the added advantage is that you can get paid instantly, which is always a nice benefit. The thing to remember with this type of product is that they are often only on sale for a week or so and then disappear from the marketplace. So unless you change your links they will point to a dead link.

If you are looking for longer term products to promote then look at the programs offered by sites such as CJ Affiliate, Amazon and Clickbank. You can find specific programs to promote such as car seats, yoga equipment, running shoes, lawn mowers and more.

Another aspect to look for when it comes to commissions is to see if they offer a two tier commission structure. A two tier network is when you, as the affiliate, get other affiliates to join the company's program. Then each time one of your referred affiliates get paid, you earn another commission. This can be a great way to add to your monthly affiliate commissions, so it is worth seeing if this option is available or not.

Some companies will actually increase your commission rate by your performance level. If you can demonstrate that you can send them lots of new customers they will be happy to reward you.

Even if they don't offer this it never hurts to ask, they will most likely be happy to reward top affiliates.

How to Set Up an Affiliate Site

Once you have selected the type of products you want to promote as an affiliate, your next step is to set up your website. While this is not really difficult, it can be a little confusing for the first timer. Let's take a look at how to easily set up your affiliate website so you can start promoting with your affiliate links.

In this example we will cover setting up an affiliate site for weight loss supplements.

Step One: Purchase a related domain name for this site along with hosting. This could be something like New Weight Loss Supplements, Weight Loss Supplements Reviewed or Buy Weight Loss Supplements.

Step Two: Install Wordpress on your site then choose an appropriate theme. You can use images from free photo sites to create a header. The basic Wordpress theme is also great for beginners and you can switch themes later on if you like.

Step Three: Sign up as an affiliate for the products or program you wish to promote. Market Health or Sell Health would be good choices here.

Step Four: Create pages on your site including a blog page, contact us page, product reviews and privacy pages. Refer to your affiliate program to ensure you abide by their terms and conditions.

Step Five: Create content for your website. This includes writing blog posts and articles about the supplements. Check the affiliate program to see if they have samples that you could use. Don't just copy the articles try to rewrite them and add your own thoughts and opinions to them.

Step Six: Add your affiliate link into your articles and posts.

Step Seven: Write product reviews pertaining to each product and include any images from the main website. Link the images with your affiliate link too.

Step Eight: Create general posts on your pages about the benefits of taking supplements, the best supplements, the worst supplements etc. This way you are providing readers with lots of facts and figures about weight loss supplements in general

Step Nine: Start promoting your site across your social media sites as well as via bookmarking sites.

Step Ten: Create product review videos and upload them to YouTube as well as embedding them into your website.

Step Eleven: Consider adding an Opt In form to your site to create your own mailing list. This way if the product suddenly stops being sold you still have access to your customers. Then it is just a matter of promoting a different supplement.

Step Twelve: Your website is never finished, continue adding new reviews and information. This keeps your readers coming back and it helps to increase your website rankings with the search engines.

How to Start a Home Based Business

There are several ways to go about starting up a home based business. Your main choices include providing a service to clients or being your own boss and being responsible for your own future.

Both models can provide you with a solid business base. It just depends if you want to be reliant on clients for your income or not. Running a client based business is great as it provides you with immediate income.

There are two main downfalls to this model though. The first is if your client stops ordering from you that particular income stream dries up immediately. The second downfall is that you only have so many hours in which to provide service work. This can put a cap on your income.

Being solely responsible for your own income can put a great deal of pressure on you at first. But it can also bring huge rewards.

Once your business is running and profitable you potentially have no limit to what you can earn. As your workload increases you can simply outsource various tasks to others.

You could outsource client work too, but if delivery is late or the work not up to your standard, it is your reputation that could suffer. While this is still a good avenue to pursue you will want to have good quality control procedures in place to ensure things go smoothly.

Obviously your next questions will be about what type of business to offer. When it comes to running your own business some popular models include: affiliate marketing, product creation, and running membership sites amongst others.

Affiliate marketing involves building a mailing list that you can recommend products to. Think of yourself as an online sales person, each time a product sells you earn a commission.

Creating products such as reports and ebooks can be a viable business model too. All you do is create the product once and then resell it over and over again. You could even hire affiliates to help you promote your products.

Service based business models include becoming a freelancer, offering graphic design, helping other to publish books, offering search engine optimization services, setting up websites and more. If your service involves lots of detailed work you can charge higher prices. This helps reduce the need for finding lots of clients each month.

It takes thought and planning to start a home based business. Don't just jump into any business model. Think about what you find appealing and what you would like to work on long term.

Then follow your dreams and turn them into a reality.

Being Your Own Boss

Who doesn't want to be their own boss? I am sure your hand shoots up every time someone asks you this question. But is being your own boss as easy as it sounds?

When you work for an employer, as long as you show up and do your work, you know you will get paid each week or month. This is not true when you are your own boss. You are responsible for keeping yourself busy with clients or customers in order to see that income. If you decide to slack off and not work as much, this will be reflected in your income, or lack of one.

In order to run your own business and be in control of your income you need to put a few things into place first.

Marketing & Business Plan

If you don't have some type of business plan you are going to be lost right out of the gate. Not having a plan means that you don't have a plan of action for each day. Instead of working you may find yourself staring at your computer screen or surfing the web for hours at a time. By the end of the day, you may be tired, but you have been totally unproductive.

Your first step is to start formulating a business plan. This can consist of setting goals for income, creating products, and building a mailing list. Write out your goals and place them somewhere you can see them each day.

To Do Lists

Having a to-do list is a great way to keep yourself productive. Each morning you will know what tasks or items have to be tackled.

You won't waste time in figuring out what to do either. Your productivity levels will increase and this will actually help you free up time.

Planning in Advance

While this can be part of your business plan, you want to work out your personal plans in advance too. If you like to take time off at Christmas or in the summer then it is important to plan well in advance for this.

By planning and scheduling your work, you can easily take time off and still earn money while you are away from your home office. It is important to take time off to spend with your family while building your business.

Being your own boss means you are wearing all types of hats. You need to perform customer service, market your business, develop relationships, find customers and clients and more. If this sounds like a challenge you would enjoy, then you could just be ready to be your own boss!

Successful Webinar Tips Personal Use Ebook With Audio

Why use Webinars for your Business

Have you been considering using webinars for your business, but still feel confused? Not to worry, many marketers feel the same way. While you may realize that using webinars can really boost your business, the thought of presenting a webinar can be totally frightening.

Before deciding one way or the other, you should look at both sides of the webinar scenario. The benefits and the disadvantages. Let's start with the disadvantages.

The main issue for any business owner not to hold their own webinars boils down to three main things.

Be scared of running one

Costs associated with webinar software

Not knowing how to use the software

The main objections of not knowing how to run one and being scared of doing one are common fears. Both of these will disappear quite quickly. Once you have access to the software you can easily learn how to use it. After you have held your first webinar your confidence level will increase and you will look forward to holding your next one.

The money issue can be a deterrent for many people too. Some of the popular webinar platforms such as Go to Webinar, can be expensive and out of the reach of many small business owners. It is possible now to use Google Hangouts to run webinars and this will not cost you anything.

Now to the benefits of why you should hold webinars.

Great way to connect with people regardless of location

More cost effective than travelling to different parts of the country or world

Webinars can be recorded and the recording can be given to attendees

Perfect for coaching businesses

Many platforms allow you to show attendees slide presentations

Great vessel for teaching as well as training

One of the biggest advantages has to be that of reducing travel time to events and seminars. Some webinar platforms are capable of handling 500 or more attendees at one time. So your potential reach to your audience is huge.

Having the ability to show slides and hold presentations means that a webinar can become a learning tool very easily. It is often much easier to show people visually than try to explain concepts to them.

Another benefit of holding webinars is that you can literally hold a quick webinar or meeting at any time. If something comes up and you need to connect with other employees, you simply schedule a webinar meeting.

Hopefully you can now see why running webinars can be advantageous for you.

The Best Ways to Promote Your Webinar

If you do any type of online marketing there is one common issue that runs across all niches and businesses. That is how to effectively promote your products, sites, webinars etc. online. You can set up as many webinars as you like, but without attendees you are dead in the water.

Use the following tips to help you promote your webinar and achieve the best results possible.

Social Media

Make use of all of your social media sites and advertise your webinar. This should start at least 10 days before your expected webinar date. Keep in mind that while a lot of people may register, only about 25% of them will actually show up. This is why it is a good idea to send out the replay link to everyone.

On some social media sites you can create an Event and then invite people to your webinar. If you are running your webinar via Google Hangouts, then advertise your webinar on their Communities page.

You can also share events on Eventbrite, send out an email to your connections on LinkedIn and Tweet your event out.

Affiliates

If your main goal for holding webinars is to sell products then you should set up an affiliate program. Getting affiliates to promote your webinar will save you time and effort. Plus you are getting access into new markets.

To promote by using affiliates you have to set up a program where the affiliate will receive a commission for each person they refer that purchases your product. This could be anywhere from 25% and up. Remember that commission amounts act as incentives, so the higher the commission rate the more time and effort the affiliate will put into promoting your webinar.

You can set up an affiliate program in different ways. This includes using JV Zoo for internet marketing related products and Clickbank. Or you can use a specific affiliate software platform. Popular choices include Amember and I Dev Affiliate.

Video Marketing

Promoting via videos is also an excellent choice. Good videos can rank high in Google and provide you with lots of extra exposure. Just remember to add the sign up link to your webinar in your description. Or send them to a specific page on your website for this purpose.

As you can see you have lots of choices when it comes to promoting your webinar. Using social media and affiliates are the top two that we highly recommend you use. They are both a wonderful way at getting your event notice out there.

Key Components of an Online Coaching Program

There are several key components that should be included with any online coaching program. Continue reading to discover what they are and then ensure that you add these elements into your own coaching program.

The first set of components are based around marketing your business.

Who Is Your Client - before you can attract clients you need to know what type of client you are looking for. Then you can spend time marketing to this particular group. Write down all the characteristics that you want your clients to possess. Are they from a certain ethnic group, age, income bracket for example?

Positioning Your Program - this includes making your coaching program attractive so clients want to join. Most clients have a problem they are looking to solve, so use this when you position and market your business. Another key element here is to outline your program for your clients. This way they know exactly what they are getting in return for their money. This includes tools used, what formats your content is delivered in and more.

Now we will move onto the components for your actual program.

Your Packages - you should clearly outline the details of your coaching program including how it is delivered. Will you be using workshops, webinars, work books or video and audio files? If you have different packages at various price points then put this on your sales pages.

Sign Up Process - you need to have an easy to use sign up system for your students. You may wish to offer new students a complimentary consultation first. This way you can both ensure that you will be happy working together. This can also help to build excitement in prospective students. After your consultation they will be eager to hit that buy button!

Test your sales process in advance to make sure it works. Make it easy for your students to make their payment. They should then be directed to a page where they either create a membership account or are told to check their email for further instructions. Have clear instructions for how to contact you as needed. Of course you may have to answer lots of additional questions before someone enrolls in your program. You may wish to set up a Frequently Asked Questions page on your website for this purpose.

Marketing System - even if you get lots of new students immediately. You want to have a marketing system in place for securing students on a regular basis. This includes making use of social media sites, joining forums for coaches and reading blogs to stay up to date on coaching methods for your field.

Questions to Ask a Prospective Coach

When hiring an online coach you are going to be shelling out some good cash. Because of this you should have a list of questions to ask them. Your prospective coach probably has their own set of questions for you, so why not do the same? Here are some typical questions you might like to use.

How many years have you been coaching?

How many students do you coach each year?

Are your coaching session's group based or individual sessions?

Did you take an accredited coaching program?

Are your coaching credentials up to date?

What type of businesses do you usually work with?

What type of people do you coach, business professionals only or other?

Do you have former students that I can contact?

How many sessions of coaching will I get per week?

What is the main reason why I should hire you?

Not all coaches will have certification, it really depends upon the area of coaching you are looking for. If the coaching is health related, then the coach should have some form of accreditation.

If you are looking for coaching to do with online marketing or setting up a business. Then no courses are necessary, but you would want to see some type of proof. If the coach offers selfpublishing programs then it only makes sense that they would have books published. If they don't, they you should be wary about using them.

It is important not to settle for the first coach you come across. Ideally you want to interview at least three different coaches. Always ask them for references.

Your coach will be working with you on a personal level and this is why it is important that you feel some type of connection with them. This will be very important if you have to have in-depth and possibly emotionally based conversations. If you feel that you can't open up with them, your money is going to be wasted.

Any prospective coach is going to want to know your reasons for hiring a coach. Make sure your objectives and goals are clear, write them out in depth so you can explain them clearly.

Working with a coach is a two-way street. You need to know what to expect and you must be willing to take criticism as well as advice. Sometimes growing internally involves hearing things you really don't want to.

Serving Your Online Coaching Clients

Now that you have the outline of your coaching program in place, do you know how you are going to serve your clients? What we mean by this is do you know how to actually deliver your coaching program?

When it comes to delivering content to your online students you do have several choices. You may still prefer to offer coaching that is done over the phone or via Skype. What some coaches like to do is offer the first session in this manner and then follow up with online tutorials. So how would you set this up?

One of the easiest ways to deliver coaching content is by emailing it to them. With free services such as Yahoo or Gmail the minute you add an attachment you can run into delivery issues.

A good solution to this is to set up either a membership type of software or use an autoresponder service such as Aweber. There are differences between the two that you will need to take into consideration.

Membership software often has the added benefit of being a shopping cart as well. So you instantly have a way for your clients to pay you, once the payment is received the software creates an account. The student logs in and has access to all the available content. You can even set this up so that new content is delivered on a weekly or monthly basis.

Attracting Affiliates Personal Use Ebook

Ebook Sample Content Preview:

Making your affiliate program attractive to affiliates

Before you start actively recruiting affiliates, you need to make sure your affiliate program really is aJractive to them. Keep in mind that there are thousands of affiliate programs out there, and you need to give affiliates solid reasons why they should pick yours over all the others.

Make it easy to join and start promoting

The easier your affiliate program is to join and start sending traffic to, the more affiliates you'll get - simple as that. A lot of affiliates are impatient and don't like to wait around for days before they can try out a new affiliate program. If you approve affiliates manually you beJer make sure you're quick about it. Usually it's best to wait until they've actually earned some money with your program before asking for things like tax forms and bank account details. Just make sure it's clear in your terms that you can't pay out anything until those things are in order.

Provide banners, e-mail swipes, etc

Having high converting/click friendly creatives ready to use is a great way to reduce the friction for affiliates. Some affiliate programs go as far as offering to create custom creatives, even full landing pages, for their affiliates to use. If you're just starting out you probably don't have the resources to do that, but it's a good mindset to have nevertheless. The easier you make it for affiliates, the more aJractive your affiliate program will be.

Educate affiliates

If you run an open affiliate program you're bound to aJract at least some inexperienced affiliates who are just starting out. At their current skill level they may not be of much use to you, and the initial reaction may be to simply ignore them until they've learned the ropes. However, you may find that educating them is the beJer solution. Some of the most popular affiliate programs (and networks) are those that actively teach people how to become better affiliates, making everyone more money in the process.

Be generous with commissions

At the very least you'll have to pay commissions on par with what your compeftors are offering, preferably more. This is where it helps if you know the average lifefme value of your customers. One common strategy is aiming to break even on the first sale to a new customer referred by an affiliate, and then making your actual profit on subsequent sales to that customer. Usually affiliates prefer to make as much money as possible up front, but in some cases it could also make sense to share profits with them for the whole customer lifefme (as discussed in the Lifefme vs last cookie secfon of the previous chapter). If you're unsure, you could always ask around and see what people think would be best.

Don't be too strict with rules/terms

It goes without saying that you have to have some rules in place to prevent affiliates from using unethical, or even illegal, methods to promote your affiliate program. However, keep in mind that the stricter your rules are, the less "affiliate friendly" your program will be. Life as an affiliate is uncertain in many ways, and being afraid of breaking one rule or another and geRng banned from a moneymaking affiliate program adds unnecessary stress that a lot of affiliates just don't want to deal with. So, make the rules fair, simple to understand and leave as little room for misunderstandings as possible.

Participate on forums

Most affiliates frequent at least one markefng forum, free or paid. By spending some fme geRng to know the community and networking, you can pick up some real "super affiliates" this way, providing your affiliate program is interesfng to them.

It's worth nofng that on most free forums it will only be a small percentage of members who are actually successful affiliates. Generally you'll have better chances on the paid forums, but it doesn't hurt to try both types.

To actually find the affiliates, you usually can't just go start a thread advertising your affiliate program (unless there is a specific secton of the forum that allows you to do that, but those sectons generally aren't visited much by affiliates anyway). Instead, just try to be helpful and become a familiar face on the forum, along with puffing some informaton about your affiliate program in your signature. That should be enough to get at least some people curious about it.

Attend live events

Everyone who's been involved in the affiliate marketng world in some capacity knows how powerful live events can be to meet people and network. A lot of big-tme affiliates frequent industry events, and people are generally more open to doing business in person compared to online.

Of course, just like on forums you don't want to go around just trying to advertise your affiliate program. As always, the goal should be networking and focusing on striking mutually beneficial deals. You can bet that most high profile affiliates get a LOT of offers from merchants, so make sure you've got something real good to offer them.

Using Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn

Most high (and low) profile affiliates are on at least one of these social networks, and if you're smart about it you may be able to pitch your program to them without spam accusatons. By now you've probably already understood that you should focus more on networking and less on shoving your offer down people's throats, but it's worth saying it again: your goal should be to make friends in the industry, not to blindly push your affiliate program on anyone who'll listen.

You could start by, for example, following all the affiliates you can find on Twitter and partcipatng in the industry discussions. Sooner or later you'll be geffing some affiliate followers yourself, who may be interested in checking out your affiliate program.

On Facebook and LinkedIn you may want to focus on hiRng up a few groups where affiliates are known to hang, and start adding value yourself. Ideally you shouldn't even mention your affiliate program until later on when you've established yourself.

"Steal" your competitors' affiliates

This is a somewhat sneaky way to find new affiliates, but it could prove to be very effective in the right circumstances. All you need to do is dig up affiliates who are currently promoting your competitors, and make them an offer they cannot resist.
