I was a member with NPC for a while and actually developed a product that has sold pretty good.

I am an affiliate for them as well.

What amazes me about people is that they won’t invest $1
to access the NPC program.

I think people are afraid that they will have difficulty getting off
of the automatic billing.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. It is all about content, content and more content.

I believe to be a dominant affiliate you just need to have is a list and provide bonuses.The bonuses have a great effect on people buying your products.

Gidday Yaro,
Anneli (who recently took your Membership site program) introduced me to your blog which I don’t know why I haven’t subscribed to before, there some awesome information here including this article.
I am impressed by how diligent you are at replying to comments. It must take up a lot of your time but obviously is worth the effort as your readers feel like they can ask a question and be answered.
I have been working hard on building up my site which has gone from 200Uv’s to 1700+ UV’s per day in about 4 months and am ready to monitise it so I’ll be looking forward to future posts for more great tips.
Cheers,
Richie

Hey Yaro,

I have started reading your blog. I have no idea how I came across it, but as an SEO consultant and a newbie affiliate marketer, your content is very well prepared and much appreciated.

I’d love to find the knack for affiliate marketing. By that I mean that I’ve promoted products in the past and have even put the time in to do video’s, blogs, create a website around a product, reviews between similar products…. and then ZERO. Not sure if I failed or the product failed. Maybe a combination of the two. Although there is one thing that I don’t have (well besides the money) and that is a list.

I always wanted to get into it, but the ethics part always stopped me. For some reason, I wasn’t very comfortable at all.

Yaro, one thing I don’t get is: why would I pay someone to promote his/her product? It stands to reason, if the product has real value, my promoting it and both parties making money should be enough!

In my electrical contracting business, that kind of payment in order to get the job would ge illegal.

Thanks; Steve

Yaro, I am continually impressed by your knowledge and desire to do and give the best to your readers. I guess thats why you’ve been so successful. “Don’t be greedy for money, be greedy for helping people and you will make more money” I really need to get that printed above my monitor!

Whew. I am that “New” person that you speak of. Would be nice to have a blueprint of what not to do when starting out…. ie splash pages to gather emails or a redirect of the affiliate sales page.

I so agree with this comment. If you have limited resources and limited budget a
tutorial on how to go about it would be great. I am a newbie Internet Marketer with my first blog.

I suppose the same ideas could be applied to someone that offers no products but only advertising space on their blog. I guess that could be considered as a product

Hey Yaro,

I think this is very good post where you highlight 2 important things. Relationship with joint ventures and promoting quality products at the same time.

If we maintian JV relations then the money will come automatically. But it is important to pick and promote only quality products as an affiliate that have authenticity.

This is just my thought.

Hi Yaro,

Interesting post, very helpful advice for a newbie, I like your ideas in regard, Always have your audience’s needs as a first priority, so put relationships before profits and don’t be afraid to say no (don’t be greedy for money, be greedy for helping people and you will make more money). I think this is a great way to do business and to achieve success.

Sounds good to me Krizia. You have to keep testing to see what converts well and once you know, you can focus more energy.

You also need to be sure what you promote is providing value, so it takes time after your audience buys the product to use it and give you feedback about whether it is any good. Sometimes a good selling product doesn’t deliver, and even though you can make good money, you risk damaging relationships with your people unless you are very upfront about the pros and cons of the product.

I think, to be a good affiliate marketer is the hardest thing to do as a blogger, you must have huge traffic to get the possible buyer and also you have to build your own audience, because honestly i’ve never made a single sale with my first blog. Anyway, i got your Blog profit Blueprint, great ebook i’ve ever read..

Yaro,

I appreciate your perspective on the multi-affiliate promotions because there are sooooooooooooooooooo many products to promote and it gets messy if you try to promote them all.

I’m using the shot gun approach and would like your feedback.

On Eat Smart Age Smart, I’m promoting a number of products since the site is still new and I’m watching for recurring sales and then focusing on those affiliate programs and rejecting the others.

Would you say that’s a good approach?

Cheers mate, bring on the affiliates! PS Your site is awesome, it is helping big time on on my Entrepreneurs Journey!

Hi Yaro,

I wanted to say thank you for recommending Alan Short’s program ($1 / $67 per month)… even during the trial period, I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a webinair. Phenomenal! It’s as if understanding this whole concept took off wharp speed.

I thought it would be good for others to hear feedback from one of your team that followed your recommendation. A very sincere THANK YOU.

I look forward to learning much more with you. Rea

You are 100% on the money! Most people I see view things in the short run and try to take every opportunity to promote or hype themselves instead of building credibility by helping others achieve their goals.

Keep up the great work Yaro!

How true Yaro! It’s always preferable to promote affiliate products which are closely aligned to your own audience’s needs and wants. If you only promote products based on the commission potential your followers are bound to notice such a trend and it will work against you almost every time.

It must be a great feeling to arrange a three way good deal, the customer, the affiliate vendor and the affiliate.

e Commerce at its finest!

I know you’ve already kinda of said this in your post, but I just want iterate, my thoughts… I think it is highly important to think about your readers first, before thinking about your wallet. Because at the end of the day, it is your readers who will buy from you, and gaining their trust for future sales is vital. =D

Till then,

Jean

I agree with that 100%! Action makes things happen. Nobody ever learned to walk
without taking the first step.

I personally like the large commissions. I find that it doesn’t really take any more effort to make a high dollar sell than it does to make a small sell. Just my observation.

Nice article Yaro. As someone new to the affiliate world it’s nice to see a bit of insight into how it all operates. Cheers
