Since the advent of the internet affiliate programs have
been a staple internet success. Origionally they started
out as single tiered programs and eventually evolved into
what we have today.
Opportunities for everyone multiplied by ten. But let's
take a closer look at affiliate directories and the way they
currently operate. What I'm about to tell you will change
the way you see things entirely. Don't worry, The rain on
your parade will be short-lived.
Affiliate directories currently provide a means to an end.
They supply eager affiliates with quality products and
services to promote with good commissions which generally
keeps affiliates happy and well fed. So what's wrong with
that? Nothing except for one thing! You usually sign up to
their free e-mail newsletter and go about your business.
But wait, there's more.
What are they doing with that opt in subscriber list of
theirs? Making money! Are you cashing in on it? No, they
don't want you to. You just signed up as a sub affiliate or
they may have a deal with the website for a monthly fee or
commission per sale. When you market a product they make
money. Nothing wrong with that either.
Question is, how can you recruit your own army of sub
affiliates as well? Traditionally when you market a product
you target "consumers" not potential sub affiliates. If
you're smart you probably provide them a way to join your affiliate program, but how effective is this method? If 1 out of every 100 people buy the product, what's the conversion rate for sub affiliate signups? How about network marketers? I'll let you do the math on that one.
Without a website it's virtually impossible to compete with
the big dogs. But wait, all hope is not lost. See, I
promised the rain on your parade would be short lived!
Here's were the fun really begins.
Imagine, per say opportunities existed for you to overcome
these "limitations" and have even more residual income
streams. Or better yet, one very stable residual income
stream.
would you take advantage of those opportunities? Take into
consideration the advantages of 2, 3, and 4 tiered affiliate
programs and multilevel marketing.
Multilevel affiliate programs offer you the potential to
increase your income dramatically. When the revenue drops
in your own sales your bases are covered and you've got
nothing to worry about. With multilevel marketing you never
have to worry about your income dropping off a cliff and
disappearing completely.
Once you've recruited your downline all you have to do is
help them to succeed for you to succeed. The difference
between the two is that affiliate marketing is a glorified
one hit wonder and multilevel marketing keeps working for you long after you've put in the effort. You don't have to constantly work at driving traffic to your site in the hopes that sales will be generated.
Now don't go off half cocked thinking you can recruit sub
affiliates and do nothing yourself. Without the sales part
of the deal you don't have squat! Nobody wants to go
through all that work to find that a whole lot of sub
affiliates just wanted to get rich quick without any effort
on their part!
Ok next question. Are there any websites designed
specificly to help affiliates and network marketers succeed?
Yes but at a price. As a seasoned marketer or a newbie your
always looking for an edge, and most of your time IS STILL
being spent being marketed to. And you still don't have
access to a stinking opt in email list! With network
marketing you don't have to worry about building a list as
much, or maybe not even at all if you so choose.
Now here's the most important question of all. Even if you
did have access to a opt in list what would you do with it?
were would you start? Would you be able to duplicate your
results thousands and thousands of times over by yourself?
Probably not. Not without a whole lot of time and money
invested. It's a sad reality that most marketers don't
succeed. Consider all the sources that your getting your
information from. Not "ONE" of them has all the answers and
they won't give you the chance to all work together with
others towards a common goal without the right things being
in place at the right time. Wanna learn how to generate thousands of highly targeted visitors, absolutely free?
