I was read an article on the other day, the word INTEGRITY is what author emphasis. This might sound like a crazy thing for me to write about today; however, even though we know this word and understand it, I thought the following quotes were worth sharing. And I hope you found it to be as worthwhile as I did.
“Real Integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” Oprah Winfrey — In Good Housekeeping
“I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.” Abraham Lincoln
“Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.” Albert Einstein
I know the above words do not have anything to do with social network marketing, search engine optimization, developing website and blog traffic. But they are very important in your efforts in marketing.
As a marketer, you have a real responsibility to share products and promotions that can solve a need
for others. However, if in turn you offer less than stellar products or offer them at a price that does not meet the test of fairness; you actually can hurt your good reputation.
What I mean is that you start out with a good name – your brand, which is something that should be guarded with every ounce of might in your soul, because if there anything happens in which could be questioned as unfair or immoral or unethical, it can be very hard to restore your integrity in the eyes of the public, in this case your buyers.
This is one of the reasons that I offer the guarantees on my products and programs that I do. I really want any one to purchase something that they are happy with.
As you read this far, I encourage each and every one of you, regardless of where you are in your internet career to live by those above words, and you will never have to worry about the income coming in.
Speaking of affiliate marketing business, it is important that you understand something about it from the very beginning – Earning affiliate income isn’t easy for the average person.
It is the fact; there are 60 gazillion other people out there are doing the exactly the same thing as you do, and there are only so many customers out there. Before I jump into what I consider to be the “real secret” to earning commissions with affiliate programs, let me share with you a basic concept that is going to be important to what you are going to learn today.
Here is how the average affiliates approaches promoting their affiliate links.
A) Send out a mailing, purchase ezine ads; get a few pay-per-click keywords, post a few links. Make a small profit after time being but get discouraged, and then move on to the next affiliate program.
For those slightly more aggressive affiliates, they will,
B) Send out a mailing, purchase ezine ads; get a few pay-per-click keywords, post a few links, write a few articles, create an eBook, do a joint venture, swap ads, and continue promoting that same affiliate program until they (along with a few other aggressive affiliates) have found every potential customer on the face of the earth and make a decent profit. Then where do I go now? Move on to the next affiliate program.
I certainly agreed that the “slightly more aggressive affiliates” is on the right trail with their approach; however, it still leaves a common problem that all affiliates have – find NEW customers.
You make an affiliate sale, which is great. And then you make another one, still – great. You keep working and working and working to make another sale and another sale and another sale. Well, don’t forget that there are a gazillion others out there are trying to do the same thing. Even if all of these other affiliates only make one or two sales each, that’s a LOT of customers that you WON’T be selling to!
Example: If there are 10,000 affiliates promoting Product A and they all, on average, sell just 2 copies each, that’s mean 20,000 customers are immediately unavailable for you to sell to. It really doesn’t matter how hard you promote and how much you do, you WILL NOT sell them a second copy of something they have already bought. Even if they love it, they won’t buy another copy.
So, here’s the “real secret.” While everyone is promoting that heck out of all of the same programs you are, you need to refine who it is that you are promoting. You need to start to FOCUSEING on those affiliate programs that offer MONTHLY commissions, like promoting a membership program.
For instance, let’s say the membership site that you are promoting charge their customer $27.00 per month, and they offer you $13.50 per month for every referral you make for, in the other words, for every customer you bring to them, they will pay you $13.50, if the members remain active, you can get paid by monthly.
With the MONTHLY service, you earn about the same commission for that same customer. Then, next month you earn that commission over again! Month after that, you’re still earning that same commission from that same customer.
For each and every month that the customer continues to use the service you continue to bring in the commission without finding a new customer.
Do you see the potential here? It makes much more sense to focus on promoting affiliate programs that bill monthly and pay commissions monthly. That way, you continue to earn profits from the same customer base!
So, what should you promote?
While you definitely need to check things out yourself and make that determination on your own. Let me give you a short list of TYPES of offers that you can promote which bill monthly and award monthly commission checks.
