If you sell affiliate products you know the key to generating sales is to maximize exposure of your affiliate ads. What’s the best way to do that?

We recently noticed one of our affiliates racing up the charts in sales and decided to take a closer look.

It turns out this affiliate found an ingenious way of promoting our products using her affiliate links. She puts the sales copy we provide to our affiliates to excellent use by posting ads on her local Craigs list message board.

See what she posted below or use this marketing link if it hasn’t expired..

Marketing Ideas that work

“Charlie can you reccomend a good solid affiliate web marketing program like Clickbank or commission junction? I have tried SEO and SEM and pay per click in the past and that did not work.” Troy W.

If you’re looking for an affiliate program that will make your online sales take off without having to work to the bone - forget it. It doesn’t exist. Clickbank is a great affiliate program and if you have a top converting eProduct and can push it to the top of the list on Clickbank others will pick it up and your sales could take off.

Unfortunately there is no replacement for knowing how to use SEO to generate traffic and good sales copy to convert visitors to clients. They’re the food and water you need to make your web marketing work and for your online business to thrive. There just isn’t any substitute.

If you’re not gettting results with yor SEO or your Google Ads its time to learn the web marketing strategies that work. It’s not the search engines or Google Ads that are the problem it’s knowing how to use them. Which is of course why I wrote the Insider Secrets to Creating Web Sites That Sell - to show you what actually does work to improve your search engine placement and how to use Google Ads to generate sales. Without it you could end up going hungry for business.

Small Business Marketing and Web Marketing That Works

I often get questions about whether I have an affiliate program or associate program people can use to make money marketing my small business marketing ideas and tools. The answer of course is yes, I do have one though to be honest, I haven’t promoted it much because it didn’t have all the supporting materials I wanted it to have.

That’s changed. Over the last couple of months I’ve built a site for my affiliates to use that provides every tool you can think of to make it dirt simple to promote and market the best selling marketing books and training tools on my site. I’ve included ads, articles, sample emails, etc

Small Business Marketing Ideas Proven in the Marketplace

“I would like to be able to forward your e-zine, ideally with an affiliate link, to various business people that I come into contact with or alternatively recommend them to your site again using an affiliate link. I’m puzzled as to why you don’t have an affiliate program.”

- David Haines

A- You are welcome to sign up as an affiliate using this link.

I don’t actively promote the affiliate program and actually wish fewer people signed up for it. The reality is only a few affiliates do what it takes to make money from the program and I don’t want to lead on the average person who thinks they are going to instantly generate zillions from becoming an affiliate.

It is possible to generate steady income as an affiliate but you will need to do some work too. My successful affiliates:

• Frequently promote my Free Marketing Guide and my eManuals

in their newsletters.

• Send their ezines to a large subscriber base (20-200k).

• Send out endorsement style letters to their subscribers. These are

without doubt the most effective.

When you do two out of these three and you can make good money as an affiliate. Do all three and we’ll both be richer, not to mention that many more people will have access to the marketing tools they need to grow their businesses. - Charlie Cook
