the simplest way to build up a solid, ongoing income online is to promote recurring commissions programs, so you make ongoing commissions months after month…

promoting services and products that have a recurring commissions structure made a massive difference to my business when I discovered the true power of this “secret”…

the math makes it easy to see why recurring commission programs simply ROCK!

let’s say you’re promoting a product that pays you $10 commission per sale, as a “one off”

if you make one sale a day, you will have made $300 at the end of the first month, the problem is you’re going to make exactly the same again in month 2, month 3, month 4 etc.

so it’s all supposed to be ‘roses’ being an affiliate marketer, right..?

and yet you just can’t seem to pull in those big paydays that you hear other affiliate marketers talking about…

it’s time to discover what really makes the difference: -

as we’re right at the start of the year, I’m going to suggest you take the time to actually have a think about what you want to achieve this year and even write down some goals…

for instance…

• Do you have a domain name yet?
• Have you got a blog or website set up yet?
• Do you have a “lead magnet” (valuable free offer) to offer potential new subscribers?
• Do you have a “one time offer” to offer your new subscribers?
• Do you have a high quality product of your own?
• Do you have your twitter account and facebook fanpage set up?

CBCashGrenade Review and Bonuses

CB Cash Grenade is a breath of fresh air…

CBCashGrenade is not only a rare product in the quality it delivers (although I’ve come to expect this high level of quality from anything Simon & Jeremy release),

it also goes against the recent trend of “blind offers”, where you don’t know what you’re getting until after you’ve paid…

The sales page actually tells you what you’re going to be getting and then delivers exactly that, and more.

How’s that for doing things the right way!

So what exactly do you get..?

Simon and Jeremy are sharing their insider secrets for making massive affiliate commissions in over 3 and a half hours of “over the shoulder”, step by step tutorial videos!

There’s 15 videos, covering: -

Automated blogs – A system that actually works

isn’t it nice when you come across something that actually does what it says it will..?

I made a post a couple of days ago about AutoBlogs and a new system that helps you automate the whole process of making money with these simple ‘autoblogs’…

well, I’ve now had chance to watch all of the tutorials videos, there’s quite 19 in total, covering everything you need to know.

and I’ve had a play with the software to see just how well it works and I’m impressed!

I’m going to put together a bit of a video for you as soon as I can to show you some of the stuff, I’ll post the video on http://imtesting.com as well as let me subscribers know about it as soon as it’s ready.

Zero Cost Commissions is an affiliate marketing course with a difference, it’s from two guys who you probably haven’t ever heard of before, because they’re not “guru’s”, they’re real life affiliate marketers who do this for a living and make a killing at it!

In the Internet Marketing world there there are many “guru’s” who make the bulk of their money from selling courses and products teaching other people how to make money with affiliate marketing, even though it’s not the “core” of their own business, in other words they make most of their money from teaching people to do things that they aren’t actually doing themselves…

personally, I haven’t launched a paid (i.e. not free) product of my own (not including PLR products I’ve bought off others) since May 2007…

yup, that’s over 3 years!

Bonuses Increase Conversions For Affiliate Promotions

Offering a bonus when you’re promoting an affiliate product can make a serious difference to the conversion you end up getting, and therefore how much money you make.

You can’t just slap up any old bonus offer though.

Your bonus needs to be targeted to the original product or service that you’re promoting, so that it increases the value of the offer itself with a related benefit.

Everyone loves getting a freebie thrown in, but offering bonus on big launches is now becoming fairly common practice, so your free gift needs to stand out.

Get the right bonus and it can easily double or even triple the number of sales you make, which is a pretty massive boost to yuor potential income.

In early 2009 I was looking for a way to make an additional income and at the age of 49 I had very few choices left. I had grown up around automobiles and construction when I was a young man.

So most of my life I had been good with my hands.

I was considered a very good mechanic and welder. I was also pretty darn good with a tape measure and a knife.

I had grown up in a rural area of Michigan so hunting, fishing and self preservation were in the mix of interests to a young country boy and his friends. Yep…That is where my roots are!

So what’s so important about cloaking your affiliate links..?

[Phantom Link Cloaker Video Below]

several things in fact: -

1. first of all it means you can change a long, ugly, and obviously affiliate url like this -

http://SiteProfitBot.com/?aff_id=8712

in to something shorter, esier to remember (depending on the url you use) and not so obviously an affiliate url, like this: -

http://mg.gd/a/botreport

which also allows you to choose the wording for the actual link, so you can use something descriptive and relevant, as I did in the link above, or a word that catches attention in some manner, such as: -

http://mg.gd/a/ferrett_sniffers

2. this also helps to stop affiliate commission “theft”, or “hoplink hijacking”, with popular affiliate systems like Clickbank, where it’s easy for a visitor to replace the affiliate link with their own, as shown in the video below.

Today I’ve got a free must read “cut the crap” report for you…

this free report is 38 pages of real, non-sales, useful info!

it’s from Andrew Hansen, one of favorite internet marketers and a top niche blogger, and that’s not just because I’ve had a pint or two with him -

Andrew is a straight talking, no nonsense kinda guy, and this report proves that, big time!

here’s a line from the one of the opening paragraphs of the report that I’ll bet you can identify with: -

“The biggest reason people fail to make money online is because this industry makes it so damn hard to find and focus on the right information and persist with a single course of action until it results in a profit.”
