Affiliate Marketing – Is it really worth it?

What a day. I was out all day and just arrived home and returned a few calls, made supper and sat down to kick back and relax in front of the tube. Nothing but snow – No Cable!

Yes, I paid the bill.

Actually, I only paid half the bill. Where I live they charge a month in advance. I refuse to pay in advance, so I always pay for the month I'm using it, but It did cross my mind they may be trying to make a point.

Now, I've had Vonage phone service since 2006 and you guessed it  – VOIP. When I saw the little red light flashing on my router, jeez, the phone's out too.

So I grabbed the cell and called the cable company. Service outage, it should be back on shortly.

What did people DO before cable TV and the Internet? Got closer to family and actually talked, maybe played games? So I decided to write a post. I can write it but can't post it.

 

On to the meat of my post – Affiliate Marketing.

Is it worth joining some affiliate network or going it on your own in a niche? In my experience, it's worth joining an affiliate program if you find a good one. What constitutes a good affiliate program? Well, you could look over this blog and find the best ;-) 

I've already done the work in finding and checking them for you. Other than that, when you find one you think is for you, do a little research:

 

How long has the company been in business?

How solid is their company according to the Better Business Bureau?

How do they pay? (online transfer – PayPal or another online payment processor is best) vs a mailed check

How is their history of paying their affiliates on time?

 

For a company like Clickbank or Amazon, does the product you're thinking of promoting have lots of charge-backs or are the customers generally satisfied?

Does the sales page look nice and is something you’d buy from? How long has the product or promo been going on?

 

Do a little research now and save yourself trouble later by knowing the affiliate program you're thinking of joining has a good track record.

 

If you want to take the easy route and know you're joining a top notch program, have a look at the Business and Products review page at the top of this blog. I’m always adding to it. You may also want to have a look at the new advertising page I’m working on. The advertising I’m bringing you here really works. You will get signups and build any business you have.

 

Ok. My little red router light just turned to green…

Do you have the Golden Touch?

Copywriting. The fine art of being able to move people solely with your words. If you're good at copywriting, you can basically write your own ticket to your future. Good copywriters have the ability to get people to do what they want them to, when they want them to do it. This is a huge asset.

This is the best business skill you can learn. Great copywriters aren't born, but learn and evolve. The best can command  top rates easily and usually write for  corporations or ghostwrite for the best marketers out there. Those that hire them will invest thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to have them write a single sales pages or multiple pages because it's a very good investment and will generate thousands or even millions of dollars in revenue.

There are master copywriters out there who will charge you upwards of $10,000 for a single sales page and you know what? It's worth every penny. Two of my favorite copywriters are John Carlton and Perry Marshall. These guys are masters of their trade and their copywriting courses cost thousands to join. Again, worth every penny. 

I've been asked numerous times. What's the best skill I can learn for running my own business and make my bottom line better? This is always my answer.  If you're a good copywriter and can emotionally move people with your words and create trust, you're bound to be successful in whatever you choose.
