Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliate Payraise“

Pop quiz time. What does “HTML” stand for? Don’t know that one? How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK, one more chance. Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate marketing…

** You don’t need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building a website!

* What in the world is HTML? Or FTP?
* How much does the software cost? And hosting?
* How do I upload files?
* Why isn’t it formatted correctly?
* Why don’t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult (even using templates) to get an attractive website in place. And hiring a professional to do it for you is out of the budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to build a website. You simply send visitors to someone else’s professionally designed site through your affiliate link.

SIDEBAR: Just in case you’re interested, HTML stands for “hypertext markup language” and is the coding used to build webpages. FTP stands for “file transfer protocol” and is the process used for moving files from your computer to a website, or vice versa.

Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take advantage of the time and money invested by someone else to develop the site. Think about it: when you promote an affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU. You are the one who is advertising the link, recommending the product, sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.

The professional site of someone else really represents you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked through your link.

You get the benefits without the bother.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to build a website.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliate Payraise“

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give when it comes to not creating their own products to sell. I’m sure with a few minutes of brain storming, we could come up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own products. You simply promote someone else’s already proven successful offer for a commission.

And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out…

** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **

As good as you may be, you don’t know everything! Why try to create a product on every topic imaginable in your market when you can earn just as much money by simply promoting someone else’s really good offer as one of your profit streams?

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to create your own products.

Turtles went on a rampage this week. Went from 8 fish to 3 in a matter of a few hours. That is not totally surprising after all turtles eat fish and that is why they were in there.

The surprise was not that they ate the fish but why now? The 3 little ones had been in there for a month. They were the survivors from the last batch I bought of 8 feeder fish. The two big ones they got were an even bigger surprise. The 5 big fish (now 3) were as big or bigger than the turtles and had shared the tank for well over 6 months.

Now let me be truthful I have no idea why they picked the day they did to go on a fish diet. They get fed the same time and same amount each day. Nothing has changed so why now?

Well the same thing happens with people coming to your product. They may see it over and over and not buy. One day the stop and it is the day. They buy the product, the up sell, take the bonus in the first email follow up. Why?

Quite truthfully I have no idea why anymore than I can tell you why the turtles went on a fish eating spree. What I do know is that it does happen.

The key is to take advantage of that by continuing to get your offer in front of your potential customers.

The best way to do that is by list building and following up regularly. That is one of the reasons I really like and recommend Jimmy D. Brown’s List PROFIT System. Building your list and following up with them helps you make sure that your offer gets to your prospective customer when they are ready to go in a feeding frenzy.

The fish are always in the tank but they only get eaten when the turtles are ready. Make sure your offer is there for your customer when they are ready too.
