From the desk of Simon Purcill
I recognize the importance of
affiliates in today's market and instead of competing against you
like many others I focus on helping you to make as much money as
you possibly can.
I am constantly studying the best
affiliate methods and it is my aim to provide you with as much
useful knowledge as I can. I have included quite a few free
options to get you started as well as some more advanced
techniques for the more experienced and brave.
I do split testing on my landing
page and I am always trying to create a better conversion rate
which simply means the percentage of people who buy RSI Treatment
after seeing it. This converts to more money for you. I am
genuinely interested in any questions or advice that you may have
in regards to the book, landing page or your affiliate program and
look forward to a rewarding partnership with you.

Step 1
If you are not
already a member you will need to join ClickBank.com. This is
completely free and will only take 2 minutes. Remember you are
signing up as an affiliate and you can use this link to do so
Click
bank.com.
Step 2
Once you are a member just type in
"RSI Treatment" in the market place search and click on create
hoplink. your link will look like this
http://xxxx.spurcill.hop.clickbank.net/ you can replace the (xxxx)
with your clickbank nickname or the hoplink generator found in the
clickbank marketplace will do this for you.
Step 3
Use this link in PPC, emails, or
blogging and when a sale is made 50 % of the commission goes to
you. ClickBank tracks all of your sales and sends you a check
twice a month depending on the minimum amount you decide on in the
sign up process.
Here are some great ways
to get started with affiliate sales
1. Create a link
to your web site
This is the cheapest and easiest way to make sales. The top left
hand corner attracts the most clicks. Having a website that is
also related to lawns in some way guarantees better results also.
This is what it will look like:-
<a href="http://xxxx.spurcill.hop.clickbank.net/">ENTER THE LINK
TEXT HERE</a>
The hoplink generateor makes one of these links for you also but
if not you simply enter your clickbank nickname where the (xxxx)
is and change the text to something like:-
Cure your RSI, guaranteed!
Discover how to be RSI Free!
Some links are much more appealing than others. Finding
the bset text for your link can make a big difference - you can
literally go from 1 click out of 1000 visitors to 100 clicks.
Experiment and try to find something that works best for your
site.
2. Email your subscribers or friends
If you have a mailing list or
newsletter than this is a great way to go. You already have a
relation ship with friends and subscribers and sales come much
easier. Just write a small review of the book and include your
text link so that you get the credit for your sales.
Do Not Spam! If you do not have your own list or friends to email
this is not for you, Clickbank, ISPs and hosts take spam very
seriously and it can get you in a lot of trouble.
3. Make contributions to forums
Forums are free
and can generate many sales. Find a forum on a related topic such
as (lawn care, water practices, mowing, grass...), join and make
your contributions to the discussions. Give advice and share what
you have learned from Lawn Tricks. The better your advice the more
trust people have in you and the more likely that they follow your
link and earn you commissions.
When you have joined go to your profile and edit your "signature"
and include your affiliate clickbank link to Lawn Tricks.
Try to find the most popular forums and threads, the more forums
the better. You can use your signature in any forum related or
unrelated to lawn care and still make sales.
Do Not Spam! Just putting your affiliate link in a thread will get
you banned.
4.
Write a small article and submit it to free article directories
This is a great fun way to make a lot of
money. A good article can get picked up by Google and other large
search engines and really increase your sales. You don't have to
be a professional writer to do this, just write a simple review
about Lawn Tricks or your personal experience with your lawn and
your results results.
The main goal is for search engines (such as Google, Yahoo, Msn…)
to find these articles and link to them. Because of that you will
want your articles to include as many ‘keywords’ and ‘key phrases’
as possible. These are words and phrases that people use when
searching on the web.
Here are some ideas for key words and phrases:
"repetitive strain injury treatment"
"repetitive stress injuries"
"prevent repetitive strain injury"
"rsis cure
"rsi treatment"
"rsi relief"
Choose one or two phrases and then include it as many times as
possible in your article/review (remember to always use it in a
headline as well).
After you’re done, go to at least one of the pages listed below to
submit your article. If you do it right, you will get a lot of
traffic and make a lot of sales (the traffic usually starts coming
in after 7-10 days)..

www.goarticles.com
www.usfreeads.com

www.a1articles.com
www.articlealley.com
www.searchwarp.com
www.IdeaMarketers.com
www.associatedcontent.com
www.iwantcontent.com
www.articledashboard.com
5. Create a blog
Blogging is a great free way to make sales and is gaining
in popularity, just create a signature with your affiliate
clickbank link and include it in your web log posts. You can use
some of the links below to get started.
www.blog.com
www.blogger.com
www.feedster.com
www.weblogs.com
www.wordpress.com
www.blogrolling.com
www.blogdex.net
www.rss-specifications.com/rss-submission.htm
www.toprankresults.com/blog-submit-list.htm
Submit your blog to sites such as
www.pingomatic.com or
www.pingoat.com to get more
readers to your web log.
6. Write a press release
Writing a good press
release is more or less the same as writing an article. For some
more advice on writing an effective press release, visit the sites
listed below. Remember to include a favorable review of Lawn
Tricks and your own affiliate link. You can write new press
releases every few weeks and submit them to the following sites:
Free Press Releases:

www.pr9.net
www.prleap.com
www.ukprwire.com
www.usprwire.com
www.i-newswire.com
www.searchwarp.com
www.searchsight.com
www.transworldnews.com

www.1888pressrelease.com
www.free-press-release.com
www.freepressreleases.co.uk
Paid Press Releases:

7. Pay Per
Click (PPC)
The three main players are
Google Adwords,
Yahoo,
MSN as well as many
others. This is the quickest way to make sales on the net but as
you have to pay for it, it comes with some risks. You decide on
keywords and phrases to bid on that will display your ad and in
the destination address section you put your affiliate link. For
example lets say you are using google and your ad looked like
this:-
Live RSI Free Guaranteed
Natural, Effective, Easy RSI Cure
Special computer users guide
www.rsitreatment.com
Whenever someone searches for "lawn care" on google, depending
on your bid price they will see your ad. You only pay when some
one clicks on the ad, so more specific key words keep your costs
down. So lets say you bid $0.10 and you get 50 clicks and make one
sale it would equal $10.93 - $0.10*50 ($5.00)
so you made $5.93
It doesnt sound to hard does it, but there are many tricks to
these PPC strategies and you should start with a small budget
while you are learning the tricks, here are few points that might
help get better results
Another popular option is to create your own
review site. The link would then take people to that site where
you had a review of LawnTricks and some other lawn related
affiliate programs. These reviews increase your credibility and
increase sales but are a little bit more work. A great idea if you
choose to start your own site is to create an opt-in list and send
people informative emails with a text link to an affiliate
program. 3rd party autoresponders are the best for this and a good
one is
www.getresponse.com
In conclusion
I am currently investing a lot of time in
refining a good easy to use affiliate program with as much
information as possible. I will soon be providing an e-book at my
expense on all 7 strategies to help you increase your profits. I
will also have a newsletter to let you know what ads and
strategies are work best so stay posted.
Till then I have found a good forum that is really speeding up
my learning which you may want to have a look at
www.associateprograms.com/ or there is an
affiliate program tutorial from the same site which is great
for beginners.
If you have any question or comments please email me
Cheers and good luck
