Year Of The Affiliate Program

by Sean Rasmussen on October 15, 2009

As promised, I have returned to provide you with more great information to Learn Affiliate Marketing. The next step is joining an affiliate program. In the below video, you will learn how to join a program, earn 50% commission on each sale and how to install affiliate resources on your free blog, such a graphic affiliate banners.

Joining An Affiliate Marketing Program

I will use the Year Of The Affiliate Program as an example for you. Most affiliate programs work in a similar way, so sit back, relax, take notes and enjoy!

The video is currently offline, it'll be back shortly.

In the above video I show you how to:

  1. Sign up for an affiliate program.
  2. Earn 50% commissions on every sale you refer.
  3. Access promo-tools such as banners, email signatures, etc.
  4. Promote affiliate products via a free giveaway or send them straight to the sales page.
  5. Know the important difference between solicited and unsolicited emails when marketing.
  6. Put a promotional banner on your free blog in 3-5 minutes.
  7. Move your affiliate banner around your site to wherever you want it.
  8. Be ready to earn commissions by people purchasing from your affiliate link.
  9. Apply the 5 step criteria to your product choice.

Affiliate Resources

The quality of your affiliate resources is vital for you to be successful with affiliate marketing. The great thing is that you learn heaps along the way too. Here are some links to resources that are mentioned in the above video:

  1. Sign up page for the Year Of The Affiliate Program.
  2. The promo-tools page with marketing resources for you.
  3. Video about cloaking affiliate links and another video about placing free classified ads.
  4. 2 video’s about setting up your own free blog so you can start affiliate marketing properly without spending any money.

As previously promised, I will show you in another video how to hook up your Google Adsense account to this blog so you can make money from people clicking the Google ads.

Hi Sean
I first met you in Melbourne(along with a couple of hundred other people@Geekversity)…I am aware you are now a sole operater..I am really enjoying this forum…although I seem to get bogged down in all there is to learn..I think I am really complicating things and then I go into the fear mode! reading back on my notes at the above meeting it states “market first..product second” is this the way it should work.?
Also have ordered your book, are hard copies being sent out?or do I just progress with the download?…also I am on your 30 trial period(and an upgrade from the other evening..although I not sure what that is or how it works). When I come off the 30 day trial period what are my options…I have tried to find this info on the forum…but have not come across the info..I know you are extremely busy…maybe a zodiac will be able to answer my queries. Kind regards Glenis Smythe

Hi Glenis
As you know I left GV as we agreed to disagree over many things. Customer service must come first.
“market first..product second” don’t work for me. You have to care about the product and it has to be a product that will sell.
There are no hard copies of the book. You can stay in the forum after 30 days and the price is $99 AUD per month. We deliver massive value in there, exceeding programs that cost 1000′s. There are answers in the forum regarding this. We haven’t missed a question yet.
Having access to lots of information is good. Just start with bite sized pieces and progress at your own pace. Maybe do our 30 day beginners guide first.

Hi Emily
Google Adwords is probably the fast answer, but your cheapest option is to rank your webpage and get free listings.

Sean,

Again, I was not able to see the video as it is offline once again (the same as the previous ones). How long does the video stay on line after you send an email? Am I the only one having this problem? Maybe, perhaps.. Anyway, thanks for sending me emails about your program. Hopefully one day, I’ll be able to see those videos.

Hi Mariano
The video’s are online and are there permanently. It is possible you need to update your flashplayer.

Hi Sean, I have tried several times to download your leaked copy of YOTA book but it won’t let me. I am a member of your Wealth Creations website but not the YOTA one. Is this the reason? I actually bought Jamie’s program thru you and have spoken to Simon a few times. Wished I had taken Simon’s advice last year and just took some action. Have been procrastinating for over a year now on what to do to enable me to work at home in my own time and have freedom to travel. Have managed to overload myself with information and just not take action. Now I am ready to take action but thought I would take a look at the leaked copy of your book before joining. How can I do this? I am a tour guide and away for a couple of weeks at a time and I LOVE my job but yearn for freedom and me time, therefore want to build a business online. Thanks Sean, you are great helping so many people. Chris

Hi Chris
Normally that happens due to local settings on your computer.
Contact my office on (08) 9791 6600 and ask for the leaked copy of the book. Or email me direct. Sean[at]webvision2020.com
Happy to help.
Sean

Thanks for the information. After buying so many products that didn’t do much for me, I am now involved in affiliate marketing and enjoying it. In my view I think Clickbank is the best when it comes to downloadable eBooks. But let me tell you also about Clickbank Mall or CBMall as is popularly known. One experienced marketer known as Jeff Mulligan had a bright idea to personally test most of the Clickbank products at great cost. He then created CBMall with only the best of Clickbank products, therefore any product you select from this mall is sure to make you money. In addition he provides all the training material you need to be successful, all FREE.

Hi Sean,

I think the best way to learn affiliate marketing is through your book Year of the Affiliate. I knew nothing when I first read your book and you explain everything in a very easy to understand manner.

The free thirty days in the YOTA forum that comes with the book is invaluable. The Zodiacs are amazing and so friendly and helpful. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

Year of the Affiliate is the best way to learn affiliate marketing.

Hi Sean,
I would love to be an authority on selling the book. I haven’t quite worked out how to go about that yet but I am confident the time will come.

I believe in the Year Of The Affiliate book and I believe that anyone who wants to learn Affiliate Marketing and who purchases this book will benefit by doing so. I have no hesitation in recommending the YOTA book and the Forum to anyone wishing to learn Affiliate marketing.

The year of the affiliate book is fantastic, and when linked to your online forum you have all the information you will ever need to make it with affiliate marketing. I joined your affiliate program at one of the geeksversity seminars but even though I new of you back then I hadn’t bought your book as I was involved with another program. I wish I had as I would probably be making money by now.

I guess I will have to create one more website which is focusing on Internet Marketing tools. The book is great, but up to now I didn’t get the right people to look at it. Ah well, there always needs to be room for improvement :)
