Timing Is Everything In Affiliate Marketing – Read This Now
I ran two affiliate promotions recently for very similar products at very similar pricing points. The promotion techniques were also very similar, and although there are many variables involved, there’s a powerful conclusion you can make as a result of this test.
One promotion, as I type this, is nearing $5,000 in commissions.
The other is nearing $500.
So what gives? Why did one do ten times better than the other?
The answer is TIMING.
One product was brand new to the market and I was one of the very first people to promote it.
The other I was very late to the show and as a result most people who were likely to purchase already had.
This is a lesson that always holds true, and there are some powerful reasons why.
Why You Need To Act Fast As An Affiliate
If you ever want to make good money as an affiliate, here’s some very sound advice about why you need to promote early and promote often when a product is first released -
- When a product is new, it’s NEW. New sells a lot more than old because people are interested in new things.
- When a product is new, no one has bought it yet. The entire market is still up for grabs. Those who act quickly stand to gain the most.
- New products are often launched with a lot of buzz. You can ride along with that buzz and benefit from the excitement. That’s why the launch formula works, and it can help affiliates too, as long as you have the right timing.
I Have Something New – Now Is Your Chance To Have Good Timing
I’ve just finished switching over my affiliate program to Clickbank. All my current affiliates have to set up new accounts with the system and replace their old affiliate links with the new ones. All existing affiliates should have received an email about this already.
Blog Mastermind is now available to promote under the new system. As a result of this change, I am once again able to offer the $97/month option for those who can’t afford the $497 upfront payment (this is also an opportunity for smart affiliates – I’ll email details about this shortly).
However, and this is really exciting, I have something new that is about to launch, which many of you know is coming already.
I’m finally going to do an official public opening of my Membership Site Mastermind training program and the launch is just about ready to start rolling.
If you want to get in on the ground floor as an affiliate, now is the time to join. Here’s the link -

Once you register you will have your personal affiliate links to promote Blog Mastermind immediately, and then Membership Site Mastermind once it is ready to roll. New and existing affiliates should go straight to this address now and sign-up –

Making New Things
Attention Business Bloggers – Lucrative Affiliate Opportunity With Rich Schefren
Cut to the chase – Join Rich Schefren’s Affiliate Program.
As many of you know I’m currently enrolled in Rich Schefren’s Strategic Profits 12 month coaching program. I pay $397 USD each month to gain access to the course materials and weekly conference calls with Rich, with the goal of learning how I can grow and systematize my Internet business.
The main reason I joined was to learn how I can continue to grow my business and make money without having to work each day. Since joining the program I have taken several steps to automate BetterEdit.com, my main business, which now almost runs without me and has grown 50% over the previous 12 months – it will likely break the six figure revenue milestone this tax year.
Without the financial and time freedom my business provides I could not invest the energy I currently do into blogging and well – fun stuff like traveling around the world, eating at nice restaurants, spending time with family and my favorite – sleeping in. Hopefully later in the year it will also result in the purchase of my first home – a big moment in anyone’s life.
While I certainly cannot credit Rich for all my success I strongly believe what he teaches are the fundamentals to achieve all the goals I mentioned above, and lots more. In this case, for the right people who are motivated and already have some Internet business sense, the program is ideal.
Rich’s program is not a system you replicate to make money online like other products you have seen me promote at this blog. These are core business principles. His materials teach you how to successfully build a real Internet BUSINESS.
This is not a method to make money online, a technique or system, or a piece of software. Rich teaches you how to leverage your key asset – your own unique talents – and translate them into a viable business model that runs without your direct involvement or a means to take your existing Internet business, automate it and push profits through the roof.
You are given the foundation and all the key materials, but it’s still up to you to put the pieces together. At least this way you start out knowing what really works and you just need to apply it to your situation with Rich’s help along the way.
