Above all, you are motivated to take all the necessary actions for your online marketing success. You are ready to take action to upgrade your Internet marketing business.

2.0 How To Get Started

We all know that the concept of affiliate marketing is simple: we are selling products or services for others. And of course, we are doing the marketing campaign for other vendors’ products to be sold to the public. In other words, it gives us the avenue to earn commissions through promoting other peoples or companies’ products.

We all started out by choosing a product we like or rewarding. We then promote it in the most efficient way we can and make a sizable profit for our efforts. But in the end of the day, the most important and truly rewarding part of affiliating is when a sale is made. That’s right folks, our long hard earn commission!

Essentially, it is a performance-based marketing. I’m sure you agree with me on this one; ‘how much you earn as an affiliate to the vendor corresponds to your sales’. If you were to make a lot of sales, then you’ll earn a big amount of commission. If not, however, you won’t earn as much.

That is why we must remember: we will only be commissioned when a sale is made through the link we provide. We will not be commissioned for sales that were made from other links.

But I know what you are thinking, you’ve done all that and yet it’s not enough, isn’t it? You would probably be wondering about the extra commission you can earn that will double, no, triple your commission!

Truth about maximizing your commission is that, it’s not as simple as it sounds, but it’s also not as difficult as you’d think.

3.0 Why Affiliate Marketing

Through affiliate marketing, you are able to accomplish three things for three different people.

First, you are making yourself feel good for earning a commission. Second, you’re helping a company or other people to gain new customers that they don’t already have. Finally, you are making a new satisfying experience to your customers. They would discover a product from you that can really be helpful and desirable.

Let’s make it clear. Our expenses doing affiliate doesn’t have to be expensive and complicated. In fact, it can be done quickly with a profitable outcome. You don’t need for a big email list to drive traffic to the offer and a huge budget.

So, without having to need those things, what should you have to make extra commissions from affiliate marketing? Personally, I would say a sense of creativity and a good work ethic will take you a long way when you apply them to the proper strategies.

The thing about affiliate is how we don’t have to make our own products for this business to run. Yes, you know that you don’t have to go through the trouble of actually coming up with ideas and the labor of producing something. Instead, you’ll be selling other people’s products.

You are, in short, an online sales agent. Your main task is to make sales but to do so, you have to be creative with your approach to your potentials. That is why on further chapters, I will break down the steps you need, to scout for the potential killer products!

On another note, you don’t have to provide customer support for the products you sell. All enquiries or complaints will be directed to the product’s vendor. The vendor is responsible for its products and customer care. They will bear the brunt and grunts if anything goes wrong.

However, should that happen, your reputation and credibility would be affected too, but not as severe as the vendors. I’m sure some of us have gone through this experience at some point. So, always keep that in mind.

What’s more, most of us neglect even the very basics of affiliate skills when we first started. So, what are those mistakes you’ve been doing all this while that you are unaware of? These could be the very reason why you can’t seem reach the breakthrough you’ve always wanted for your commission.

The thing that you could’ve been doing unknowingly is not building your own mailing list. This is an exceptional no! Your buyers’ list is the very foundation of your affiliate marketing endeavor. It is the very basic of it all and you should always regard it with the highest importance.

You might think I’m joking but there are some of us who neglect the need to follow-up with their list!

Another folly of a common affiliate marketer is not knowing how to generate traffic at its fullest. You have your own way of doing this, of course, but are you truly maximizing the number of potential that you should have been generating?

Facebook, Google AdWords, Solo Ads and many others are only some example of the methods of making traffic. Even I must admit, traffic generating method is far more intricate than what it is thought to be. But do not fret. If you stay towards the end of this book, I will show you some of my free traffic hack for you to increase the number of traffic and eventually your commission!

So, the next common mistakes most of us have been doing; investing without making profit. Marketing involves a lot of effort from you and that takes a long time. Finding your target audience and coming up with ways to approach them requires a lot of work on your end.

An inexperienced affiliate would engage in an advertising campaign with limited knowledge of its inner workings, and, naturally, would lose more money than they gain. Do not take too much time looking up on the best product that you want!

I realized back when I first started; constant search for a so called ‘best product’ that even I don’t even know its true criteria, takes too much of my time. Before I know it, I just missed multiple opportunities that I should’ve been taking before! How frustrating is that?

But you are in luck! I will show you how to ‘spy’ the market to look up for the best product you can promote using only JVZoo.com. Before you do just that, time for you to be introduced to a certain Super Affiliate.

4.0 Super Affiliate Mindset

And the Super Affiliate is you! If, you follow through the lesson I’m about to lay down in this section of course. So, what exactly is this ‘Super Affiliate’? No, it doesn’t involve in getting bitten by a radioactive affiliate or become one with the Force through extreme training.

It’s a next-level affiliate who earn his highest earnings!

Fact is, no affiliate will earn the same amount of commission and payout.

The exact number of sales of a product is unpredictable, which means the exact commission earn by all affiliate will differ. That’s for sure.

I also cannot guarantee you success. That is up to you. On your end, you need to give your 100%. You need to be positive and efficient. Attitude will be your drive to success.

You must be thinking, “Oh great, he is going to go ‘Yoda’ on us like: to always believe in the Force or the Force won’t come to your aid”. I get it, what you want is the real methods to implement right now. Yes, I get all that. But the truth is, the way you think about affiliate now affects whether or not you will succeed.

Let us do a brief recap for a moment. Think about why you bought this book in the first place. I strongly believe it’s because you want to earn that extra, desired commission you always wanted.

You did not say to yourself “It’s so hard to increase my commission” or “I think I should just keep earning normal commission. I still earn something anyway” when you pick up this book, right?

You are here because you know, your mind did not allow you to think like that. This caused a certain ‘Force’ in the very depths of your mind to become problem solvers. Especially surrounding issues that would have normally been ‘too hard’ to be dealt with for regular affiliates.

See, Master Yoda is right all along.

5.0 The ‘C.R.A.F.T.’ Strategy

To be the desirable Super Affiliate every prospects and subscribers go to, I personally suggest you implement the C.R.A.F.T strategy. This is the Force that you need to maintain when affiliating! It helps me earn the extra commission, and I have no doubt it will do the same to you.

Chapter 1: What Is Email Marketing?

Email marketing, it is a business tool that enables you to communicate with your staff, your suppliers and your customers by sending out emails. When considering a definition for email marketing, there are a number of ways to define it from the broad to the specific. Here are some key components to what a successful email marketing campaign does:

Direct Email – Emails that are directly to current and potential customers
Retention Email – Frequent and regular emails are sent to current customers
Email Placed Ads – Marketing ads are placed within emails sent by others
Let’s look further at each of these components.

Direct Emails

It is a call to action on the part of the customer. Let’s say you receive an email from a business. You may or may not have heard of them, and you may have never signed up for any of their email lists. Business can obtain these lists by buying them. Either way, the business sees you as a potential customer and wants to entice you with a good deal. You may even have done business with them before and they want to do business once more by offering something you might be interested or a better deal than before. The purpose of direct emails is to be promotional. They might offer you a product or service, or they ask you to sign up for something. Potential customers are more likely to get these types of emails.

Retention Emails

Retention emails are the equivalent of printed newsletters. While still promotional in nature, retention emails attempt to retain customer loyalty by offering the customer something. This could range anywhere from coupons to up-to-date news on the latest products. These types of emails are sent out on a regular basis. It could be a weekly or monthly basis, but usually the business tries to send out emails weekly to retain customer interest.

Email Placed Ads

Another way to do email marketing is to get some advertisement space within another email. Many times, business that send out retention emails reserve space for other business to place their advertisement. This can be beneficial for you as a business, especially if you have studied the demographic that you are marketing to and the potential customers you could gain. Knowing what other types of businesses you potential customers go to and listen to, is a great advantage because it allows you to strategically place your ads in emails and to get clicks. It is also a benefit for the business with which you have an ad placed because they will know that their emails are being read and they can also do a bit analytics work to determine where their customers are clicking.

Does Email Marketing Works?

Simply out, yes, email marketing works. Of course, there is the stigma of SPAM that keeps people wondering whether or not email marketing is still effective. Email marketing, just like other forms of Internet marketing such as social media marketing, it is fast paced and must be adapted.

As you can see, many companies put quite an investment in their email marketing campaigns. They are willing to spend the money because they have seen the return on their investment. Your email marketing campaign can also be monitored once you have sent out emails to customers, both current and potential. The data can be analysed in a number of ways, including web analytics, downloads, search inquiries and visits to promotional events and offline stores.

Chapter 2: Why Email Marketing?

Even though this book is on email marketing, you need to come to terms with some truths about it. For one, email marketing is not as effective as it used to be. To be more exact, email marketing started to lose the effectiveness it used to have prior to Facebook’s popularity.

As of this time of writing, more Internet users spend more time checking their Facebook and Twitter account daily. Slightly more than half of the global Internet users have a Facebook account and people aged 20 and below prefer to check their Facebook account for messages than their email! You can say the same for Twitter in spite of its 140 character limitations per direct messaging.

And get this: Gmail, one of the leading email providers, had recently implemented the ‘priority markers’ feature allowing their users to mark selected emails as important and thus change the ways people prioritize their emails for reading consumption every time they check their Inbox. And let’s be honest: promotional emails rarely ever reach PRIORITY status!

Then they a smart system that detects and filters spam emails and it gets tweaked frequently, therefore making even legit email marketing harder.

In the recent past, email marketing quickly became the preferred method of contact for businesses looking to cut expenses, connect with buyers and increase profits. However, as the dynamic world of marketing has progressed, analysts are have encountered some disadvantages to e-mail marketing that have made other alternatives like direct marketing campaigns or text campaigns look more appealing. The advantages are as below:
