Affiliate Marketing for Newbies

Posts -- Organized
See, I hate those blogs where the blogger just throws all these posts on it, but it takes the viewer hours to figure out what is connected to what. In my opinion, those bloggers just try to make you sign up for every program they are in, so they can get their compensation (referral $), regardless that you have use for those programs or not.
I don't want to do that, so I've decided to organize my blog, and collect the post-links in categories, that belong together.
So here they are :
1.) "GET PAID TO" sites:
Overview of PAID EMAILS, PAID SURVEYS and PAID FOCUS GROUPS
PAID EMAILS SIGN UP LINKS
GET PAID TO SIGN UP FOR TRIAL OFFERS
2.) AFFILIATE MARKETING related:

3.) DOWNLINE BUILDERS, Network Marketing & MLM:

NEED SOME CASH FAST? -- these are your best bet
In this section, I will attempt to make a collection of ALL these sites I know about
...let's see:
1.) There is one, it's called Social Site Cash and the good thing about it is that it already contains a collection of these sites, so all you need to do is click on those links after creating a free account and sign up with all the programs you like, individually.
So as mentioned above, Social Site Cash is a collection, so it covers some of the best programs to sign up for (example: InboxDollars, SendEarnings, Hits4Pay etc) ... Some of them has a cashout level as low as $10, and you could request it by PayPal... so it's pretty fast and easy cash.
2.) Than, of course, There is VineFire -- which you should join before it's too late, as they are planning to sell the company around June and that's when the payout will take place also.
Click here to sign up:
let's see what else...
3.) ok, than there are these ones!!! You really need to check these out because they are willing to pay unheard amount of money for clicking on emails ... but I haven't reached my payout limit yet (which is also really high), so I'm gonna be honest here and I'll tell you upfront that I don't know if they are for real.
BUT !!!! on the other hand - SINCE IT'S FREE TO SIGN UP WITH ALL OF THEM, what do you have to lose, right??
So here they are:
RolexMail
CashMail
HellishDollars
and BankoMails
I'll post it later if I can remember any others.

Traffic Hoopla
Click here NOW to sign up for:

A GREAT START FOR NEWBIES - My Instant Biz
The founder of "My Instant Biz" is Margaret Albright who has put together a nice little system that will both build your online presence AND make money on practically autopilot.
Margaret will give you all the marketing materials you will need to get this business off the floor - the autoresponder emails, your splash pages, your rotator URLs - heck, she'll even set up this whole system for you with YOUR user IDs.
What's the cost, you might ask?
Well, here is where you should sit down before you hit the floor ... IT'S FREE!!!!
In fact, Margaret insists that she set up the system for you, not only to assure that it's error-free which is PRICELESS IF YOU'RE A NEWBIE, but also, to ensure that the people who will join under you (when they see your splash pages), will - in fact be YOUR referrals and not somebody else's.
So, IF YOU WANT TO JOIN THIS PROVEN SYSTEM AND START BUILDING YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS TODAY-->

My Instant Biz includes the following elements:
1.) TrafficWave - Autoresponder:
Not only we use Traffic Wave as our autoresponder for our email series, but also this will provide the main base of our income. The great thing about TrafficWave is that they generously compensate their affiliates. The majority of your affiliate commissions will come from their Fast Track Bonuses; you will receive $17.95 (100% commission) on all new active sales. But let's not forget about your regular commission checks either.
There are four different ways to make money as a TrafficWave Affiliate:
- Fast Track Bonuses - paid weekly
- Regular Commissions - paid monthly
- Leadership Bonuses - paid monthly
- Traffic Sales - paid monthly
2.) As part of My Instant Biz, we also sign up for AlertPay. If you have ever bought anything online, chances are you've already heard about PayPal. AlertPay is similar to that but it pays a much generous commission. You can earn up to $10 for every person you refer. Certain qualifications apply however:
Referrals must open an AlertPay Personal Pro or Business account.
Referrals must transact $250.00 (sending and/or receiving).
After your 10th referral, we will pay you $10.00 a referral.
Self-referrals, or referrals from the same IP address, will not be paid out.
3.) My Instant Biz gets most of its traffic from Traffic Exchanges.
For this reason, we sign up for Traffic Hoopla, as this will allow us to receive all our residual (referral) credits by promoting only 1 URL, and that's Traffic Hoopla. In the provided system, you will be able to input all your referral IDs from all the Traffic Exchanges, you've signed up for. It's also a great way to keep track of all referral IDs.
Traffic Hoopla exists to build website traffic. It will assist you in building thousands of daily hits that may be directed to any website and at any time. In order to build traffic, you will need to promote your TrafficHoopla and get signup's. The resources listed within will greatly reward you for referring others, mostly by a percentage of traffic earned by those you refer. By doing so, and your referrals do the same, and their referrals do the same (called word-of-mouth marketing or viral marketing), you can build substantial and continuing daily website traffic.
You can sign up here:
4.) Build your downline with Affiliate Funnel.
Affiliate Funnel is set up to allow you to start your marketing funnel for your affiliate program/s.
You can use this to create traffic sources and still promote your affiliate program not one that is decided for you. Used properly this can be a great way to build the relationship that is necessary to create an ongoing business.
The marketing funnel is a simple principle that works like this.
Gather prospects with a free or low cost offer. Some will continue on to buy higher cost products and programs but it is always necessary to keep filling the top of the funnel with new prospects.
Promoting Affiliate Funnel allows you to constantly bring in new prospects while promoting just one thing for all your traffic programs, necessary business tools and your affiliate program/s.

AWSOME !!! Simpleology
I used the word "solution" and you probably wonder... "solution to what"? Well, that's - my friend - the beauty of these self-improvement courses ... A SOLUTION TO practically ANYTHING that can come up in your life !! That's why I truly believe that it must work for everybody - at least to all of who can let go of our ego for a second and can admit that we are not perferct....

"I have no idea what you want.
I have no business telling you what to want.
My job is to help you get it - whatever it is.
Simple*ology, as a system of seeing the world and acting in the world of your desired effects, will do just that.
Not only will you get what you want, but you'll get it faster and with the least possible effort.
Notice, I said "least possible effort" -- not "easy".
If you want a bogus rah-rah self-help manual that blows a song of sunshine up your back door, than you've got the wrong book. " [...]
If that got your attention, you might wanna check out their website at: http://www.simpleology.com .

SUCCESS IN 10 STEPS
I was just wondering if anybody else is feeling the same way as I do and I would really like to hear your experience.
It's not really about the "results I'm hoping for"... it's more like about the "results they are promising"!!! By now, you probably know what I'm talking about... all these "How I made this and that much in this little time..." and "with this system XY from Wherever {testimonials on and on} made this and this much and you can too..." blah, blah, blah...YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT?
And than you buy the product, and wait for the fortune to happen.... but it likely will not...
UNTIL NOW, I THOUGHT THAT I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG...
But than I finally started to come across with people who have experienced the same thing... so instead of reading new and new advertisements, I started reading other people's blogs (real people) and somehow I came across with a FREE E-BOOK, called "SUCCESS IN 10 STEPS", and boy I'M GLAD I did!!!
They are network marketers who took a different approach and instead of trying to sell you something, they mentor people for FREE!!! I did not get to read the whole book yet, but IF YOU HAVE EVER CONSIDERED MLM or NETWORK MARKETING - YOU MUST READ THAT BOOK !!! SERIOUSLY. And don't worry!! It is FREE and they don't mention any companies, no affiliate links, no nonsense.... ONLY HOPE!!! They give you hope and they give your confidence back, by assuring you that it's not your fault that you have failed in network marketing or MLM.
So for your own sake, read it...
THANKS FOR READING MY BLOG.

about AFFILIATE MARKETING
Affiliate marketing is when you sign up with Clickbank or Paydotcom for free and you sell other people's stuff. This could be a great way to make some money, if you do it right, as you don't have to worry about coming up with an idea what to sell and how to sell.
These are definetly the best parts of affiliate marketing. No inventory, no worries. You don't have to create a product or service, all you have to do is just advertise somebody else's products. Most of the time they even supply you with a mini-site (with hosting !!!) , with pre-written PPC ads, even articles or blog entries - if you get lucky. THAT IS AWESOME as you don't really encounter any expenses...
On the other hand ... that's kinda the problem with this business too, because all affiliates are using the same exact mini-site and most of the times the same exact ads too.
You can spice it up a little, personalize it, but than you might make a fatal mistake, because all that stuff, they are giving you to advertise, is already tested and the makers of the given product have already spent a lot of money on hiring professional sales copy righters. So most likely, the marketing material is as good as it gets, and if you change something it might lose effectiveness... but you can try :-)
Anyways, as I was saying, these sales copies are written by professionals who know how to pressure the viewer psychologically to make them buy whatever is on that page!! That's what the whole thing is about ... right? THAT IS EXACTLY THE REASON, WHY YOU HAVE BOUGHT INTO IT TOO. RIGHT?
And another fact... statistically proven, that a person who has already bought something online, is almost sure to buy again in the future. The same thing applies in the world of affiliate marketing. Once you have bought a product (e-book, software, system, coaching program or anything else you can imagine), it's almost 100% sure that you will buy something again.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE EXCEPTIONS, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW DO YOU DO IT??? :-D
How do you turn down the next offer? Because I know if for myself that I CAN'T !!!
I have bought so much stuff already that it's not even funny, but I never really got to use any of it... WHY??? BECAUSE IT'S DESIGNED LIKE THAT !!! They purposely flood your mind with all this info, so you lose control!! You get so overwhelmed by all that information that you just start jumping from one thing to another and never finish anything, because the next morning a new hype is waiting for you eagerly in your inbox (or who-knows-where-else) and pressuring you to buy... that you must have this new thing, because what you just got yesterday, is already "yesterday's news"....
RAISE YOUR HANDS? HOW MANY OF YOU EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING??
OR AM I THE ONLY IDIOT, WHO HAS "SUCKER" TATTOOED ON MY FOREHEAD?
I can take the criticism, so if any of you have a solution to this problem, please enlighten me.
---> SO IN SUMMARY, AFFILIATE MARKETING IS AWSOME AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GET DROWNED IN THE "PRODUCT-SWARM".
Please don't hesitate to post your opinion.
Thanks.

about PAID EMAILS, SURVEYS and FOCUS GROUPS
I was just wondering if anybody else is feeling the same way as I do and I would really like to hear your experience.
-----
I've been trying to create some extra income from home for about 6 years now.
Of course I started with basic things like:
- getting paid for reading emails
- getting paid for participating in surveys, even
- getting paid for being in focus groups.
Actually all of these work!!! They did for me at least... Of course you're not gonna make 100s of $s, but you can get an extra $10-$20 /month for reading the emails (I have a really good experience with inboxdollars - they have been around for I don't know how long and I never had problems with them), you can get an extra $20-$30 / month for the surveys and the focus groups really depend on where you live and other various factors (like how old are you, and what do you do for a living, do you have any kids, and how much is your annual income...etc).
For example, we used to live in Las Vegas and in the Venetian casino, there is a focus group, called MRC and they paid - I think - $60 to participate in a focus group about credit cards (a credit card company wanted to research, which "face" would consumers prefer on the credit card, what rewards would they prefer and which tv advertisement they found the most effective...etc). The whole process took about 45 minutes and we got the $60 on the spot.
Than - after we moved to Los Angeles - we were looking for other focus groups and we came across with Brenda's Recruiting. That is also a great agency! They call you up if you are available to watch a movie trailer on a certain day at a certain time and after that you participate in a focus group about the movie or tv show and than you get paid when it's over.
And you can also find online focus groups - I was part of one of those too, I think it was called the Brian Institute or something like that... I can't remember right now... but if you are interested, I can look it up for you in my old emails, just shoot me an email at snakesfehervar@yahoo.com and I'll give you the details.
So these things are really cool, BUT surveys can be REALLY time consuming. Most of the time you don't know how long a survey is going to take and it's just going on and on and on with the questions and than - my "favorite" - they tell you that you did not qualify for the survey...
BUT if you do qualify and complete the survey, they DO PAY YOU. So it's not a rip-off... just it can be real bummer when you wasted all that time for nothing. But - as I said - they do pay and you are able to see your earnings online. Most of the times you get the credit instatly, sometimes it takes a few days. Some survey companies don't have a minimum payout amount (I was even able to get a check for $2 ... :-D ) but some of them ask you to accumulate at least $20-$30 before they issue your check... and some of they offers to pay by paypal too.
So if you need details on which surveys have worked for me, or if you care to share what has worked for you, or if you have information about some scam that does not work and you got ripped off by one of those scam artists, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR OPINIONS AND EXPERIENCES.
THANK YOU GUYS.
