Leads and Lead Lightning

What effort are you putting towards your online marketing? What type of offers do you promote and how do you promote them?

Affiliate marketing, is that what you are doing? Well, a lot of people have tried their hand at affiliate marketing and failed. Those who fail, usually quit. However, there are those who make a modest income from promoting other people’s products.

With affiliate marketing, one needs leads and a lot of them. So, getting leads is the mainstream in any online marketing endeavor. How do you get them? You get them by making an offer to other individuals who are looking for a deal. You need a capture page to get at least their email address. This also depends on the offer. Some companies require more, such as at least a first name, sometimes the last name as well. Others go further and require street addresses and phone numbers.

There is one program that is very productive to get you leads. Well, it is a website, and you can get it for free. It is called Lead Lightning. First you can join for free, but the upgrades are worth the price.

Leads, if promoted correctly, can be very abundant to all.

Starter membership: This is the $7 membership that gets you through the door, you will receive $6 for anyone that signs up under you.

 Silver Membership: This is a $29.97 monthly membership that will earn you commissions of $15 a month for any recruit that pays the monthly $29.97 fee.

 Gold Membership: $53.97 is the monthly membership which allows you to receive a recurring monthly commission of $20 as long as the recruit purchases this package and stays enrolled.

 Diamond Membership: This is a one time payment option on top of one of the previous membership options. You will receive a one time commission of $100 on the sale of this membership.

 Platinum Membership: This is a one time payment option that will cost you $497, your commission from a sale of this membership is a one time commission of $400

I get leads everyday by promoting my link. Leads are the mainstream of any business, online or off. If you do not have leads, how can you sell or offer a product or service?

I am am not kidding or lying here.  I got 11 signups within a 24 hour period! Now that is the more than I have had in any other program I am in!

Oh.... It is still FREE to join. What do you have to lose?

Here is the link to join: LEAD LIGHTNING.

Auto Surf Pro

One of the most recent traffic exchanges I have subscribed to is Auto Surf Pro.

The magnificent script they have allows the surfer to surf without clicking. I think it is awesome. This is the first and only autosurf traffic exchange I have come across. I absolutely love it and intend to promote it along with other programs I feel that will help me as well as others in our marketing journey.

One thing is that the surfer still needs to watch the pages for bonuses. They do come along, but in rare and different placings. Most that I saw were 1 cent and 5 cent bonuses.  I also saw a few 3 cent bonuses. So, you can earn money, but the minimum payout I believe is 5 dollars.

I joined one day and the following day I was watching a baseball game, so I left the script running. By the end of the game, I had surfed 1,000 pages!

The instructions said that you can also minimize the script and leave it running while you work.

I tried this and it stopped the script. I have no way of knowing why, unless it was because I was new or because of the platform I am running on my PC. However, now I leave the page maximized and do what I need to do, going back to it every few minutes to check on it. Plus you never know, I may see an offer that I may want to get into!

The Super Affiliate Network Review

I joined the Super Affiliate Network, (I will refer to as SAN from here), back in Feb. 2018.

I had high hopes and just knew at the time that this program would work. After I joined I was told to contact my "Coach."

So, I did. It took him 2 days to get back with me and another 2 days before we actually talked.

I was so excited and impatient at the time, I was wanting to get started and earn money, but the waiting was killing me!

However, I still felt this was the program for me. SAN is a great affiliate program. However, it is a high priced ticket item if you really want to make money with them.

I went through their "BootCamp" and came away with a lot of new knowledge.

The content they give you to learn is really good. They teach you a lot of things in two weeks that it may take you months or even years to find out on your own.

In this day and age, any new online marketer NEEDS a paid learning program such as SAN, to learn about how to go about how to market online.

However, money for me is not at an abundance right now, so I have not been able to produce results. Nor have I been able to upgrade to gain more knowledge and be able to earn higher commissions! This really sucks too!

I am still a free (referred as a Basic member in SAN), and still not earning commissions. Oh, I get leads and clicks everyday on my affiliate link, but no one has actually signed up under my link.

You can make money as a free or lower grade member, but it takes a lot longer, unless you know the ins and outs of promoting your affiliate link. In my opinion, in any program, a member NEEDS to upgrade to make any type of real commissions.

I do not know what I am doing wrong, but I have stepped back to figure it out.

Although getting more traffic is part of the problem, it is actually getting the referrals in my back office!

I ran solo ads through Udimi Solo Ads for two weeks. All I got were leads, and none of them signed up.

Although SAN follows up, I also followed up on them as well. Still no results!

WAIT!  I am not downgrading SAN at all! I am just saying it is really hard to market a high ticket program on a small budget! I still believe in SAN’s program, but it is a program that you need to be

able to AFFORD, not only to promote, but to upgrade in and earn more commissions.

Believe me, if you join, you will see what I mean! There are a lot of top earners, but none of are me.

Here is a capture page with Testimonials:  SAN Capture.

One good thing is that they give you a variety of capture pages to promote. Which one is the best? I have had success of more leads with the one I just gave you.

Also what I like is that they have a Facebook Fan page. Actually several, you need to join in order to get access to them though. Your coach will send you all the details after you and he/she meet in an online webinar platform.

One more point, just because my results were not too great does not mean that you or anyone else will make it happen with this program. Everyone’s results are different!

 I hope to see you there!

Keep Your Eye On The Prize...

That is what I tell myself every time I think about quitting trying to make money online. However, I keep going. I keep telling myself, "DON"T QUIT! KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE!"

What is my prize? My prize is a better home, better car, and financial freedom. At least to live comfortably. More than whatI am right now. 

As an affiliate marketer, each niche I look at looks real good
to advertise. But which niche is the best to promote?

Health, Wealth, and Traffic have been the ones on top of my list.

So, picking one to consistantly promote is hard because each of the above niches are great to advertise! 

Advantages of Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs have some awesome advantages, and if you implement them correctly, you can make incredible money with affiliate programs. 
            
    Mostly, the website you are promoting does all the leg work for you. They will handle all the customer support, payment processing, product delivery, and refunds. All that you have to do is direct people to their website, by providing a link to them on yours. Once a customer clicks your link, AND makes a purchase, you get a certain percentage of that sale. That's it. You just wait for your money to come in. And if you are wanting to make money online, using affiliate programs is just one of the many ways that you can do just that.
             
   You don't have to develop or carry the product. You don't really even have to know that much about the product, because the customer will be going to another website where all the pertinent information is already given.
             
   Any good affiliate program will provide all of the materials you need to promote them. Usually this includes emails, banners, text links, and free ebooks that you can use on your website. The super good programs will even offer you training, to learn the techniques for promoting their website.
             
   When you join an affiliate program, you just worry about getting traffic to your site, and then getting them to click on your affiliates' links. Hopefully, a sale will be generated, and you will be making money.

DisAdvantages of Affiliate Programs

             
   The down-side of promoting affiliate programs, is that you are competing with other people to get sales. Also, some affiliate sites may not be honest, and may not pay you, keeping the money that you have generated for them. The best way to protect yourself would be to go online, and see if you can find any complaints about the affiliate program.

3 High Converting Affiliate Sites

There are a lot of affiliate programs on the web today, but there are only a few that really do

produce results. I have 3 great sites to tell you about.

Amazon

Amazon has thousands upon thousands of products to link to in order to earn a modest commission.

Amazon is also great niche research site for tangible products.

As I have said, Amazon is a great research tool to see what the top products are in your niche and what customers are willing to pay to get the solutions they need.  Many new online business owners fail because they do not know who their main competitors are. In some cases, they are working in a niche that is not a paying market, such as tattoos, a popular niche, but with too many freebie hunters.

Once you have checked out Amazon, search for popular niche-related sites where your prospective customers spend time. Build relationships with them in a number of ways. Groups, forums and discussion boards, popular blogs and websites focused around your niche are all ideal places to meet, mingle, and get to know their pain points, that is, the main problems they have in reference to the niche. 

Click Bank

Clickbank deals with digital products which are downloadable on the internet. There is no requirement of any physical delivery. After you are registered with Clickbank as an affiliate, you can choose any product from the pool of available products to promote. There are more than ten thousand products currently available.

The sales commission offered by the merchants on Clickbank is usually very high and affiliates can make 50% per sale.

World Profit

World Profit, ran by Sandy Hunter and George Kosch, is a site that has over 2 million members.  

George Kosch has been an online marketer for 20 years. World Profit is also a BBB Accredited Site for 15 years. Inside this membership site, not only can you promote your own affiliate links, but promote their products as well. Free members can make up to 50% per sale, while Silver members can make up to 80% per sale.

These three sites are the best ones I have come across so far. However, there are more out there, I just haven't found them or tried them yet. As I come across other sites that convert well, I will post them here on this blog.

If you are thinking of starting your own website or blog, do your research to create the right bait.  If you already have a site or blog that is underperforming, track which pages are the most popular and create similar content.  Test your sales letters to see how high they are converting. Then try to improve upon them.

Importance of Auto-responders-Choosing the Best One For You

Usually the better part of people who will visit your website will leave your website without making a purchase or a return visit. For instance, if 100 people visit your website one of them will purchase something while 99 others will simply leave your website and will not come back.

In order to make these 99 people come back again to your website to purchase your affiliate products, you will use autoresponders. The concept is that it will collect the email address of the visitor and send them free reports about your product. These reports must be interesting, brief and to the point. Send 5-7 emails to each visitor. Each report must promote your product in a different style. In each report highlight a new feature of your product in detail and highlight the conditions in which your products may be really useful. If your visitor is reading your reports, then he may decide to purchase your product because of the information you have given him. Usually people don’t read the full features of product, as they have no time. But these mini reports will educate them in really a short time and they will be more likely to purchase the product.

Choosing Your auto-responder 

There are many auto-responders out there that are really good, but choosing the one best for your
business is easier than you think. Research is the key. Choose the one that is best for your needs and in your budget. Personally, I use Traffic Wave. It has an abundance of tools, and other ways to make money with it along with being an email autoresponder!

Here are a list of autoresponders that I have found that are effective:

Sendlane
Get Response
Traffic Wave
AWeber

Each of the above autoresponders, you can also promote as an affiliate!
